Ty -- day 2

Tomorrow is the BIG day!

Yep, that's right...Mr. Ty Nolan will finally make his debute into this world. I have my c-section scheduled for tomorrow (11/11/2009) at 7:30pm. We are all so excited and can't wait to meet him.

Tucker helped me pack the baby's bag and even picked out his coming home outfit..including little shoes that match!

There was a lot more I was going to write, but my brain is just not working tonight. But we will post everything about the baby asap!

38 Weeks!!!

One week left!!! AGH!!!!! I had my check up today and things went well..nothing really new to report. I belly measured 41 and my blood pressure is still good. My c-section is scheduled for November 11th at 7:30pm. I am really not looking foward to having to wait ALL day long, but oh well nothing I can do about it, so I'm trying not to dwell on that fact. I need to call the doctors office to get some more details because all she said to me was..."we will see you back next week in the clinic at 11:30 then in the evening for the c-section"..no instructions..no paperwork...nothing...so I need to call and figure things out...I know I've been through this before, but that was three years ago and to be quite honest...I can't remember a lot of the details...and things are always changing anyways.

I didn't realize...

Diapers and wipes are essential...everyone knows it....so I have been stocking up for quite a while now. I didn't realize I had bought so much....It is a good thing though....I'm sure we will use all of it before I know it.

37 weeks

Yesterday marks the beginning of my 37th week. I had my doctors appointment and it went well...this week I gained a pound and a half again..so I'm good with that and she isn't really saying much about it anymore...I guess she finally gave up on it...thank goodness..I sure was getting tired of the same stupid lecture. She got the results from my ultrasound and everything is completely fine..like I knew it was going to be. Ty is pretty much average size, according to the ultrasound anyways.. So she sent my info to the hospital to hold a spot for me to have the c-section on November 11th. Next week I should be able to schedule the time and get all my registration stuff started for the hospital stay.

I am still feeling good, but ever since we got back from the Oil Ranch, I am just exhausted. So I have been taking it pretty easy and not doing a whole lot around here...which is driving me nuts because there is so much I want to get done...but the truth is those things that I want to get done aren't really essential and don't have to be done before he gets here...I would just like it done... Then stuff I actually do need to get done is pretty easy, like washing clothes and blankets and stuff...so that's pretty easy. Needless to say we are all getting really anxious for Ty's arrivial and cannot wait to meet him!!!

Car seat canopy!

I think this is the coolest thing ever...well as far car seat accessories go anyways. One of my friends had her little girl a few months back and came to a playdate with her car seat canopy..I had never heard of this before, but it is an amazing idea. I searched online for directions and finally found a step by step blog to make one. It was super simple and was the first project I completed on the sewing machine with no complications! I am really happy how it turned out. These things sell for upward of 25 bucks, most sell for around $40, which is pretty outragous...because I only spent about $10 on the supplies and it was super simple to make! Thanks for the idea Jen...I hope to one day be as skilled as you on these crafty projects!

The car seat canopy. It will keep him covered without having to mess around with a blanket.

I can't wait for Ty to actually be in the seat :D

A close up of the fabric...I actually wanted the same print except with black instead of brown, but they were out of it at the fabric store...oh well still looks nice.

Finally getting to it...

So I know I keep talking about all the "things" I've been doing and now I'm finally getting around to posting some of the pictures.

I just painted the blocks and letters, then glued the letters on the blocks.

These were just blank canvases, that I painted and put some ribbon on.(I am still in the process of painting some other stuff for the walls because my original idea of painting a brown stipe on the wall just did not happen.)

This is just a plain travel wipes case and I decorated it with fabric and ribbon.

A diaper holder.

I didn't sew these from scratch, but I hemmed them all to the length I wanted them. I still need to get some ribbon so I can gather the door curtains in the middle.

This is just some(the rest is in the deep freezer) of the food I have premade and froze so we can have some easy dinners on hand. (Hopefully this will keep us from eating out so much..which is one of our worst habbits) So far I have 10 main dishes and 2 sides done. I am hoping to get a few more done in these next few weeks.

Less than 3 weeks left!

As of yesterday I am 36 weeks....holy cow!!! That means because I am having a c-section I have less than 3 weeks left.....wow! I am in total denial about this...overall I still feel really good...I don't remember feeling this good being this far along, but I do. By the end of the day I am pretty tired and definitely ready to relax and put my feet up, but I'm not miserable, so that's a good thing.

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and things went well. I only gained a pound and a half, but the week before(I have to go every weeks now) I gained five..whoops :P But I don't really care so much about that..my doctor does, but I don't. My belly measured 37 last week and then 42 this week...but my belly can change in size in a matter of minutes because of the way he is positioned, it really just depends. She said that it is still looking like we are going to schedule the c-section for the 11th of November, as long as everything goes well at the ultrasound (which is today..and I will bet to that in a minute) and as long as I don't go into labor or my blood pressure gets high for some reason..which I doubt either of those things will happen anyways.

Now on to the ultrasound, that went really well. The same doctor who did it last time did it again and he said everything looks good. Last time the baby was breech, but this time he was head down...which doesn't matter, but I really thought he was still head up because my stomach still feels the same as it when he was breech. We didn't get to look at his face today because his head is facing my back and the doctor just could not get him to move. He really sticks out far in the front...so I can pat his little butt and rub his back already. The doctor said he was just over 6 pounds which is right about where he should be and thinks he should about 7 and a half pounds at birth. We will see about that though...But anyways, he agreed with my doctor and the 11th is good as long as nothing comes up.

Oh man, do I have so much to do still...and it sucks because Vinny wasn't suppose to be working next week, but taking a class, giving us some extra time to get things done, but now he will be working, so that sucks, but oh well....such is life. At least I know if I really need help with something I know my friends are there for me. I still need to post on all the crafty stuff and other stuff I have been doing...and I promise I will get that done soon... right now though I am going to bed...I'm sleepy! Oh and pictures are still yet to come..soon...

A little suprize....

Today the boys and I over to our friend's house for a playdate..which is not something unusual, we get together all the time, but when we got there it was a little baby shower for me! I was really excited and it was a lot of fun! I think the funniest part about it was the kids were all confused about the "shower" part...and then one of the little girls, Kadence, kept telling me happy birthday because it was a party for me...she just figured it was my birthday. The boys were confused because I told them it was a party for me and the baby, Tucker said..."but the baby isn't here yet, so how is it his party?" The things kids say are really priceless and sure do bring a smile to my face.


But I just wanted to thank my friends...you guys are amazing and I don't know how I would survive without you! I love you girls!!

34 weeks!

Well, I'm 34 weeks this week.....and somehow last week I missed out on the reliziation that I only had 6 weeks left...now only 5 weeks left. I had my appointment on Wednesday and things are good. His heartbeat was 131 this time and really strong. I gained 2 pounds a week since my last appointment, which is what I gain every week. In total I have gained 42 pounds since I have been pregnant, which she told me "is just too much weight to gain while pregnant" so I need to cut back and yada yada yada...whatever...I'm excited because if I keep gaining 2 pounds a week, I will have only gained 52 pounds....which my goal this time was to only gain 50 pounds...it is better than the 65 I gained each time with Tucker and Trey. I am just a person who gains weight when I am pregnant, no matter what I am doing as far as eating and working out and what not...so whatever... She told me that idealily I should only gain 1/2 to a pound a week because I have gained so much already...so I said okay, but I was thinking whatever...I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.

She is going to schedule me another ultrasound in a few weeks to check on the baby's size again because my tummy is measuring 4 weeks ahead still(measuring 38). I am a little concerned because she is so conserned about the baby getting too big and is making it seem like she might take the baby early if he does get too big and I am really not okay with that. Unless there is some medical reason why he needs to be delivered early, I want him born at 39 weeks. Like I said in my last baby update post, they said Trey was going to be just as big or bigger than Tucker, and he was almost an entire pound less, so I would be very upset if they said the same thing about this little guy and took him before 39 weeks and he was really small, I would be pretty upset...I just want him to be healthy and just really don't think he should be born early just because he "might" be a big baby...especially during cold and flu season...sorry to keep going on about this, but it's bugging me.

As far as how I'm feeling...I'm actually feeling pretty good although I can tell I'm getting towards the end because I'm feeling pretty chubby and I'm sad my face is looking chubby, but oh well...they weather here has been horrible..on Tuesday, the hi was 93 with super high humidity...so it actually felt like 103. So it was hot and miserable...the heat makes me swell so bad, my hands get so swollen that they hurt...ugh..it is horrible. My feet haven't swollen that much, which is good, but I'm having other problems with them...because summer is so hot here, I don't think I have worn anything, but flip flops since May...so I've been wearing shoes a little more often now because I am so dang tired of flip flops and my feet hurt so bad after wearing them...they just feel squished and hot and for some reason my calves hurt....but if I wear flipflops my ankles and arches hurt so bad...either way by the end of the day, I'm sore... I've had heartburn pretty bad for awhile now, but it is getting horrible at night. Last night it was so bad it actually woke me up....I even had 4 tums before I fell asleep.

Now, as far as getting things ready for his arrivale, I am just going to make a seperate post about that...because we have been busy :D

32 Weeks....

How did I get here already....I seriously can't believe I'm 32 weeks. I had my doctors appointment Wednesday and besides having to wait almost an hour past my appointment time (and wasting half of my free time while the boys were at school), it was a good appointment. My blood pressure is good and the little guys heart rate was around 157 this time. I gained 4 pounds since last time..so I'm gaining 2 pounds a week and I think my doctor has finally just realized that this how my body is because she didn't scold me or tell me to cut back or anything like that or only to tell me to gain the pound a week like she told me last time. That made me happy...plus these past 2 weeks proves my body is just going to gain what it wants to because any type of junk or greasy food makes me really nauseous and I have been eating less than I was before because I get really full and stay full ( I think Mr.T is squishing on my stomach or something because I cannot eat my usual portion size) and because the weather has cooled down quite a bit I have been going on a good length walk every other day and on the days I don't walk, I'm usually out shopping or up on my feet cleaning/organizing/getting things ready for baby that I am too sore to walk....It was nice not to get a lecture on something I can't really control nor do I really feel it is something I need to be concerned about..because health wise I am completely healthy. She measured my belly again and I am still measuring 4 weeks ahead..and she commented about how lopsided I looked because he was sitting mostly on my right side with his head stuck up and out and the top of my belly and his but kind of sticking out on the bottom...I don't know if that makes sense, but I can feel where and how he is sitting (usually). His feet are either curled up or he lets them dangle into my pelvis. I am really glad it is finally cooling down a bit here because I have started swelling when I get hot..the doctor told me it was normal and just try and stay cool and keep water with me at all times...which I do already. She said that next appointment she will schedule another ultrasound for me just to check his size again...around 36 weeks or so. I hope she will just let me go until my 39th week like we planned earlier because then his birthday will be 11/11...and I think that's a good date and it goes with the other boys birthdays 2/2/05 and 6/5/06...plus we still have a lot to get done...



I did talk Vinny into painting the room for me, but now he just needs some time off of work to actually get it done. I think I want it to be cream with a big brown stripe on the wall (like about a quarter of the way down the wall) then I'm going to paint some canvases with the blue and yellow colors to add some more color into the room. In my mind it looks really good, so let's hope it comes out that way. I did finally buy the carseat. I was having trouble picking one out (like I am having trouble picking anything out). I ended up getting the Baby Trend one that will harness up to 30 pounds..that way if this baby gets big like Trey he won't out grow the infant carrier by 6 months...it's safer to keep them in the appropriate carseat for as long as possible. A few weeks back I got the Baby Trend Sit n Stand stroller and I got a Baby Trend Snap and Go a few months back..so it made sense to get the same carseat..especially since it is one of the safest carseats out there. I got a good deal on all of the stuff I bought and then right after I bought the carseat at babies r us, I ran into Target to see if then had anything good on sale, and I found the base for the carseat on clearance for only $10..I was so excited...and it wasn't even opened or anything...it was something someone purchased online and returned to the store and since the store doesn't carry that base in store the mark it down super cheap just to get rid of it...good deals make me happy :D I finally decided on the crib, but I went online to go buy it and it is out of stock...on every website and they don't know when they are or even if they are getting anymore back in stock. So I'm pretty upset and now I am really having trouble finding a crib I really like....I know the style I like, but I really can't decide on a color...and it's hard to determine color off the computer screen..and I would buy one in the store, but I can get such a better deal on line, so I would rather take the chance of the color being a little off, than spending way more in store.

30 Weeks...Yikes.....

Today I am 30 weeks...which means only 9 weeks to go....I'm so excited and can't wait to have a new baby in the house again, but man do we still have a lot to do...

Last week my doctor had me go do another ultrasound because I was measuring big. The perinatalogist told me that he was a little big, but only by a few days, so that is nothing to worry about and that he was sitting in the breech position. His head is up and kind of out towards my right side and his body curves over (with his back up towards the sky) to the left side of me, leaving his feet to dangle down. Other than that he said everything looked great..all the right parts in the right places and my fluid level is fine. The doctor told me that our little guy is right about 3 and a half pounds. The gave me a picture, but it's not really that great...

I am too lazy to hook up my scanner, so I just took a picture of the picture..it's a little blurry, but I think you can see his face better because it's a little blurry. If you can't tell it is a shot of looking straight onto his face.

Yesterday I had my check up and things were good, according to me and just okay according to my doctor. My blood pressure was good and my test results for the gestational diabetes came back normal. His heartbeat was about 138. My doctor was not happy because I gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks. She told me I should only be gaining 1 pound a week. So she told me to cut my calories way back and blah, blah, blah....I am so irritated by this because I am proud because I am only up 33 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight..and if I keep gaining about 2 pounds a week up until I have him I will be 15 pounds lighter than when I had both boys....so I have given up on trying to convince her that I just get big when I am pregnant....every woman is different and she just doesn't seem to be okay with this. I still feel good and my rings still fit and my pants still fit...which by this point in both of my other pregnancies..nothing fit anymore... When she measured my belly I measured 34 weeks..so I'm still measuring about 4 weeks ahead...so she said if I keep measuring big that she will send me for another ultrasound in 4-5 weeks to check on things... I don't quite understand why she is so overly concerned about this..first off since I am carrying him breech my measurements will be off because of the way his body is positioned compared to a normal head down baby...and I am having a c-section anyways so size isn't that big of an issue anyways..plus when I had Trey the doctor did an ultrasound a few days before my c-section and he pretty much guaranteed us that Trey would be at least the same size as Tucker, if not bigger, but when Trey came out, he was almost an entire pound less...Tucker was 8lbs 7.5 ounces(19 inches) and Trey was 7lbs and 9 ounces(20 inches)...I think once they babies are so close to being done..it is harder to tell how much they actually weigh. But overall a good check up.

Today I went to get my hair cut and the person cutting my hair was asking about the baby and things..they asked when I was due and I said not until mid November. Then a few minutes later they asked..."so do you eat a lot or something..." I said.. "no I just make big babies.." I was trying my hardest not to laugh..just the way the question was posed.... I know I get big when I get pregnant and I guess for some people they just think it is crazy...Another girl asked me if I was due really soon...I said "no, I still have until November" and she said..."oh wow..." and then didn't say anything else....When I was pregnant with Tucker and Trey everyone always said...you must be due any day now...they started saying that when I was about 6 months...so at least this time I got until 7 months before everyone started asking...

We are finally getting some shopping done. My parents bought us the bedding set we really wanted. It's really cute and I can't wait to put it out...we just have to get the crib first. I was having trouble deciding which crib I wanted and finally narrowed it down to 2 and go figure both of them are out of stock right now...so looks like I will have keep looking for one or hope one of the ones I really like comes back in stock. I really want to paint the room, but I will have to see how Vinny feels about that because he will be the one doing most of the work. The blue in the bedding REALLY clashes with the blue/purple on the walls....I have a really cute idea of how to paint the room..so hopefully it will work out the way I want. We really do have a lot of things to get and get done, but at least I am slowly checking things off my list...he will be here before we know it!

28 Week Check-up

Today I had my 28 week appointment. I had to do the yucky gluecos test..I wasn't very excited because the drink made me super nauseous the 2 previous times, but it really wasn't bad this time at all. Then I had to get my rogam shot (because I have a negative blood type)...that shot sucks...it hurts when they give it and my arm is still sore. Everything checked out good..the little guy's heart beat was at about 149 and it was funny because she had to keep moving the doppler because he was moving around so much. I only gained 2 pounds a week(6 pounds this month instead of 10 pounds last month)since my last appointment...I was happy about this, but the doctor told me that it is still too much weight to be gaining and that I should only really be gaining 1 pound a week...but I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing...I feel healthy and I know my body better than she does...I can't help the fact I get big when I get pregnant... When she measured my belly, I was measuring 32 and you should measure right about however many weeks you are..so in my case 28, but last appointment I measured bigger also..I don't remember exactly how much bigger, but she told me that because I measured bigger 2 appointments in a row and because I am a little on the "heavy" side I need to have an ultrasound next week to check on how the baby is growing because she doesn't want him to get too big...I was all set to tell her that she needs to just face the fact that I get big....but I didn't press it because I'm excited for another ultrasound...hopefully they will give me a better picture this time.

I still haven't done much shopping yet...I seriously can't decide on anything...I have a "list" of stuff on Amazon that I think I want, but I can't decide if I actually want it and I keep waiting to see if I can find a better deal somewhere else...Guess it really is time to start shopping because we are pretty much starting from scratch.

Oh and she told me that if everything goes as planned that I will have my c-section on 11/11/2009...

Countdown Clocks, Pregnancy Countdowns at WishAFriend.com

26 Weeks...

Usually I only post a new belly picture every month, but today was a pretty boring day, so I decided to take some pictures...and plus I feel like I am growing like crazy...I don't know what do you think???

Down to the double digits

I just looked at my countdown timer thing for this pregnancy and I am down to 98 days...WOAH! What the heck??? Guess I better start getting things a little more organized.... :D

24 Weeks

This week I am 24 weeks...so I thought I would post another picture. I'm feeling pretty good...just feeling pretty big already. I can tell the little guy is growing and he keeps sticking body parts out on my right side..which was fun at first, but it now becoming a little bit painful. I keep forgetting to mention that about 2 weeks back heartburn started again (I had it bad with both Tucker and Trey.) So that definately sucks....but overall I'm good!

My Dr.'s appointment

Well, I had another doctor's appointment yesterday and it went pretty good. His heart rate was good...this time 142. She sort of went over the ultrasound I had at the beginning of the month. She told me that everything looked good, which is what the perinatalogist told me at the ultrasound anyways. Also it set my due date in stone for November 18th. Which makes me 23 and a half weeks right now. I was a bit irritated with her though because she scolded me for gaining too much weight this time. I don't feel like I have gained that much weight. My belly has gotten pretty big this last month, but my pants still fit, so I know the weight is only in my belly. I tried to explain to her that I did gain a lot of weight in my previous pregnancies, but she told me that she "must be more picky than my other doctors" So it is kind of irritating because I don't eat a whole lot and I do eat pretty healthy (minus the other day when I ate all that ice cream, but I haven't had any other sweets since that day..so it kind of balanced out..in my mind anyways ;) Then she went on to tell me that if I do gain too much weight this next month that she will send me to a nutritionist and I will have to start keeping a food journal and what not...so I'm just irritated about the whole thing...I am thinking about keeping a food journal right now and then if I do gain a lot of weight I can show her that this is just what my body does when I am pregnant...plus if I gain 10 pounds a months until I have the little guy..it will only be a weight gain of 50 pounds this time compared to the 65 pounds I gained the 2 previous times....so whatever doctor lady :P Oh and I laughed because she said my ideal body weight is 115 (you know when I'm not pregnant)...I was NEVER 115 even when I was in high school and in the best shape of my life.....I played sports and was busy and I ran usually anywhere from 2-7 miles a day each week and I always weighed right around 125..I was fit and trim..and I didn't really have any fat on my body but I always weighed more than I "should"...weight has never been a big deal for me...I'm just built heavier...but it just irritates me because she made me feel like a little kid getting scolded for eating too many cookies or something. She also told me that I should only eat about 2000 calories a day and that I'm only allowed to drink on glass of juice a day and that if I want to drink milk, I can only drink skim milk and I should try to cut back on the dairy a little because it is pretty high in calories(she said she isn't worried about cutting back on the dairy because she is making me take a calcium supplement which will make my calcium intake adequate). I'm not too happy about that...Wisconsin-America's Dairy Land- runs in my blood and I LOVE all dairy products....so it should go without saying and I am disregarding what my doctor said about cutting back on my dairy intake...that is the main part of my diet. I would die with out my milk, cheese, and yogurt. That is what I snack on when I get Hungary. And I feel it is better/healthier to eat dairy for snacks than sweets or crackers and whatnot. However, when we do go grocery shopping I will look for the reduced fat dairy products in stead of the regular...and I'm NOT buying skim milk...I will either buy 1% or 2%.....I love whole milk...so going from whole milk to skim milk will not work for me....At least I am compromising with what my dr. told me.....

But enough of that...it is making me irritated.....

I am still feeling good and I am already going through some slight "nesting" already...but it's not going that good because I can't do anything in the guest room/baby's room until Vinny builds me shelves in the closet and he has been so busy with things he just hasn't gotten around to it...so I have just been shoving things in the closet and mentally arranging things in my head. I bought a few more clothes for him and I bought him these cute little shoes....I am still having trouble deciding how I want to decorate, but I'll figure it out soon! One funny thing that has been happening lately is I crave things at the wrong times of the day...I want dinner foods at breakfast and breakfast at dinner and I ALWAYS crave coffee in a bad way right before bed...it's weird and drives me nuts...because I think about all night and then in the morning I don't want any.....

I'll post a new picture next week sometimes because I will be 24 weeks...6 months down...only 3 to go...YIKES....where is this time going....but it's okay we are all excited!!!

AGH!!! Belly!!!

The other day I was taking pictures around the house of all of our paiting...which I will be posting here shortly, but as I was looking around trying to decide how to get the best shot, I was holding my camera above my belly...and this is what I saw....

AGH!!! BELLY!!!....where did my feet go :P

IT'S A............

BOY!!

I had my ultrasound last week sometime and it's another little boy! I was sad when she told me....I really thought it was a girl and I really wanted a girl, but Vinny did make me feel better because he said he would keep having babies with me until we got our girl :P So that made me smile...but anyways....I am definitely excited about the new little guy....we are thinking we are going to stich with tradition and give him the initials TNT also....and the name we came up with that we both like is Ty Nolan. It's not 100% sure yet, but as of now we are pretty sure that is what we are going with. I liked Tycen, but Vinny said no because all he can think about is Tyson Chicken, but we both like Ty..but nothing is set in stone until we actually see him.

Back to the ultrasound...I had a Perinatologist do my ultrasound and she said everything looked good...good heartbeat, measurements we right on for my stuff and baby stuff...so that is good, but I will get the full report from my doctor soon. They only gave me one picture and it is not a good one....it's kind of a face/profile shot...his head was facing my back crammed up under my rib cage so it was hard to get a good shot. I was pretty bummed about that because her ultrasound machine had the 4-D thing and she was trying to get a picture like that and no matter what she did to my belly, he would just look up for a quick second, so we saw him, but we didn't get a picture of it. Oh and we took the boys to the ultrasound and they were kind of confused about it while it was happening, but they seemed to definitely be interested in it. Tucker is very excited about seeing the baby....he carried the picture out of the office and he is constantly looking at the picture. It was funny because we were all watching something on tv and something came on about an ultrasound and both boys were said hey we went there and were talking about how that is an ultrasound...Trey was cute and went on to ask if that was our baby!

We have started shopping a little bit (we gave away pretty much everything we had from Tucker and Trey except a swing and a pack 'n play)...I am having the hardest time trying to find stuff like bedding and such.....I am just being too picky...I don't want a theme...like transportation or sports or anything like that...and finding boy stuff in the colors I want without a theme like that is proving to be a challenge...but I'm sure I'll find something that works for me. We did get some cute little clothes, the front pack I really wanted, and bouncy seat...so we have some more shopping to do, but that is fine by me...I'm having fun with it! It's fun getting to take my time and really search for the stuff I really want. I am addicted to Etsy.com (it is a website where people can sell handmade everything and they have some amazing stuff on there) and amazon.com(they have the best deals)!

As for me I am doing good(I will be 22 weeks on Tuesday). Tired, but good. With Vinny being off he has given me plenty of opportunities to sleep in and take some nice naps. There have been a few times when I fall asleep in the afternoon and he wakes me up around dinner time and dinner is all ready set up on the table waiting for me to come and eat! He's so good to me!!! I love it!! It is still unbelievably hot here...highs right around 100 with a heat index of 10-15 degrees higher. It is HORRIBLE....it just wears me out and makes me nauseous...

This was taken at 20 weeks..so almost 2 weeks ago...sorry I'm slow we have been busy since Vinny has been off.

Quick baby #3 update

Just a short note about baby #3...I had a check up the other day and all is well for me and the little baby....The heartbeat was 151 which went down from the last couple of times where it was in the 160s. My weight gain is good...9 pounds so far which is, according to the doctor, "right where it should be" This I am very happy about because I really don't want to gain the 65 pounds like I did with both of the boys. One thing that I think is helping keeping my weight in check this time, is I am much more picky about things I am eating...the last 2 times, everything sounded and tasted good..but this time, I am really picky, pickier than I have ever been in my life actually. Just the thought of cake or cupcakes or cookies (except for these one sugar shortbread cookies) makes me feel nauesous. In general, healthy food just sounds more appealing...which is good! I'm not having much cravings, execept for jalapenoes with popcorn or on sandwitches and for fresh squeezed lemonade (which I made last night and it is so good).

The baby is moving quite a bit now and Vinny actually felt the little one move last night for the first time...so that is pretty cool :D And most excitingly only 4 more days (not counting today because it's almost over) until my ultrasound! I can't even explain how excited I am....I will definately let you all know what the outcome is......

Oh and remember think PINK for me!!!!!
