17 Weeks Bumpdate


To my precious baby,

I'm 17 weeks right now and met with the midwife last Thursday. It's was Amiee who was the midwife that I saw with your brother. She is excited to see how this pregnancy and baby are after delivery. She told me that I'm the type of person that could end up delivering at home or in the car on the way to the hospital because of how Rex's delivery went. She made sure to point out how important it is to get checked right away if I think I might be in labor. It's really soon to be talking about labor signs because you are no where ready to come out but I guess it is important to know for when the time comes. The good thing with that is she thinks that my labor with you will be just as easy as it was with Rex. I'm happy about that!
I gained another pound or so this week. They said that's good. I have decided that I'm going to start doing some exercises this week because I'm having a lot of back pain already so I'm going to have to increase my calories. They said it would be OK if I wasn't gaining if I started exercising as long as you were growing good. 
We have made our appointment for next month to find out if you are a boy or a girl. We are very excited. How ever we are not sharing the date with anyone because we are keeping it a secret until Rex's birthday. We have decided that will be the perfect time to announce it to everyone. 
Friday night I think I finally felt you move for the first time! I'm very excited for this stage of the pregnancy. This seems like the longest time ever for me. With Rex I could feel him right away so waiting to feel you move has been a long time coming. Speaking of moving...I'm pretty sure you just did it again! I'm so excited! 
I'm still having a hard time sleeping mostly because of back pain. I'm hoping between the exercising and my massage on Tuesday things will get better. I really need to get more sleep. I'm not having any food cravings. Supposedly that's good because you are getting everything that you need but the down side is that I don't want to eat anything. Everything just sounds blah and not appealing to me but I keep eating either way. 
I'm so excited to see how this month goes. You are suppose to double in weight and grow which is why I should be able to feel you move and I can't wait. Next month will be exciting too as we plan your brother's 3rd birthday and get to find out if he's going to have a brother or a sister to meet him in July!
Mommy loves you!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
