Wowzers!

Holy cow, where has the last year gone?!  Is it really almost 2011?????


We've had a great CHRISTmas holiday enjoying our family & friends.  :)  We finished celebrating last night with my family.  Christopher's kids finally made it into town 4 days late b/c of the snow storm that the  East coast had.  We had a great time last night with them & then they leave Sunday.  Next time that they come down; they'll have a new cousin.  :):)  They're SUPER excited about that & that it's going to be a girl this time.  LOL


I am adding a belly picture that was taken just a few weeks ago, so I would venture to say that it is a 27 week shot & I am currently at 29 weeks.  I figured out that I am actually measuring about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks ahead w/ the fluid.  My current guess of when Miss Baby C will come is February 20th - what do you think?!  I hope she stays in as long as possible, but I am having Braxton Hicks everyday, but so far NOT effecting my cervix....praise the Lord!  

27 week shot

Here is a comparison between my brother & I.  As you can tell, he has sympathy weight for his sister....LOL  Of course, I have a reason to be where I'm at, but NOT HIM!!!  We tease him that he's due before me.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Happy New Year's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas Time!!!!! (part 1)

I figured that I would do a blog on the few Christmas pictures that I have.  We hope that you have a Very Merry CHRISTmas.  Remember, Jesus' birth is the REAL reason for the season. 

Santa Cow & Zachary - we were picking up dinner for my parents, thanks for Chick-fil-a for providing for them 1 evening.  As you can tell, Zachary is in his pj's.   

Here is our Christmas tree lit up one evening - I just love it all lit up, but this was really the best "lit up" picture that I could get on my camera.  Now that I think of it, I guess I could have used some different settings, OH WELL!!!!

Here is our sweet baby boy with the tree.  Do you see that BIG box in the background?!  Well, that is Zachary's ATV that he's getting for Christmas.  It's so cute & it goes 2 mph.  We think he's going to LOVE it since he can't get enough of the 4 wheeler when we bring it out.  We always knew that he would have a 4 wheeler before a bicycle.  :)

Here is Zachary & I in front of the Christmas tree at the Villages of Allen.  I feel like I have grown alot since that picture.  Zachary & I were there meeting Santa & Mrs. Claus.  We had a good time walking around, playing, & eating sugar cookies.

Here we are with Mrs. Claus.  Zachary's holding his sugar cookie from her & was wanting us to open it so bad.  After the picture, we opened it up & I stole a few bites too!!  LOL

27 wks & 3rd Trimester!!!

Here is my 27 week belly shot.  I have been doing good & went to the doc today for my glucose test.  I don't know why I wouldn't pass it, but I should have my blood work results in a few days.  I'm not worried about it b/c all has been going well & I feel great.  I have been fighting bronchitis for a week or so now, but didn't know it till Monday when I went to my regular doc to be checked out for a persistent cough. 

Today at my OB's office, she said that I looked good & baby was measuring bigger.  She said that she thinks it's because of how I am carrying her.  However, at the perinatologists' office, she is right on schedule, so I think my OB is right about how I am carrying her.  I told her that every night I feel like she's all the way forward & that everything is very solid (for lack of a better term) in my abdomen area & that it was very uncomfortable.  She said that she'll just keep an eye on that, but that it wasn't affecting my cervix was exactly where it needed to be at the point.........NICE & CLOSED!!!  :)  I start going every 2 weeks now & can hardly believe that we're already at this point.  REALLY?!  I can't believe that I have started the 3rd Trimester either.  I really can't believe how FAST the pregnancy is going, but excited too.  I am looking so forward to meeting Miss Baby C & seeing whom she looks like - I hope ME!  ;)

I can't think of any other updates as of right now to report, but just taking day by day while chasing a toddler around & cleaning up after 2 messy boys (Les & Zachary).  LOL 

26 wks & counting

Today I am 26 wks & can hardly believe it..........HONESTLY - where has the time gone?!  I have an appt with my OB in 1 week & then I start going every 2 wks, really?!

I am feeling good most of the time, but I have noticed that I am beginning to get a little more tired by the end of the day. 

My side hurts when I sit too long; which honestly can happen in a matter of minutes....HA! 

I am only going to be going to 39 wks more than likely, so that really puts me at 13 wks or less now.  I'm so excited, but so nervous too.  I just don't know what it's going to be like to go from 1 child to 2 children.  Especially a 2 yr old who is already going through the Terrible 2's & a newborn.  I know we'll get through it & I'll find the strength.

Hope you all have a great night!!!!!!!!!!!!

500th Post

Wow, who would have thought that I would get to post 500 - I know I sure didn't when I started this blog almost 6 yrs ago.

Today has been a pretty good day, but I'll preface it by saying that as I was climbing into bed last night, I started feeling some mild cramping LOW in my abdomen.  I figured it would go away & I fell quickly asleep.  However, I got woke up several times throughout the night w/ Z fussing/coughing, so I didn't sleep very well.  When I woke up this morning, I was still having the pain (very mild).  I decided that I would call my doc to see what she thought.  She wanted to see me to make sure that I wasn't dilating/contractions, whatever!  So, I rushed down to her office after my dental appt. (busy day needless to say!).  I was fit in to her schedule and was actually seen probably within 20 minutes or so.  She checked my cervix & all was the way it should be.  She felt my abdomen & it felt good too & no tenderness.  Praise the Lord!  So, she sent me home & told me to try some Miralax in case, well, nevermind.  ;)

Now tonight, I am EXHAUSTED!  Have you ever been so tired that you could cry, well, that's me tonight!  I just got Z to bed a few minutes ago & about to head that way myself.  I actually wanted to call it a night several hours ago, but that's impossible with a toddler around.  Now, he's in bed & I'll be there in honestly, 15 minutes or less. 

I am 25 wks and 2 days.  Moving along very quickly and can't believe that Miss Baby C will be here in 14 weeks or less.  I'm so excited & know that I will be really tired (more than tonight) very soon.  I know that part will pass, but I am starting to dread that sleeplessness..........HA!  I'll make it & it's all so worth it when you see the sweet face(s) of your kid(s).  I love her already & haven't even officially met her yet!  Oh, I have an anterior placenta this round, so I don't get to feel her as often as with Zachary, but the perinatologist calls her a ninja.......LOL  She is a very busy little girl!!!!!
