Room fit for a Princess!

We finished changing my daughters room from a blue fish room to a princess room! She loves it!

An old window frame. Inside it says "Once Upon a Time there was a Princess" and her bow board. An addiction I have LOL! Doesnt help that my sister and a good friend both make bows!

Finally friday....and a new pic!

Passed my GD test. So I guess I am measuring big because I either have a big KID or lots of fluid. Guess I will know in a few weeks when he does another u/s.

Found a van.....hoping that works out this weekend.

Have a great weekend!

Everyday I come to my blog, go down my blog roll, catch up on the happenings of others yet cant find the time to post!

I am doing decent. Sore, achy, feeling like a whale...only 14ish weeks to go. Honestly I can say I am looking forward to losing this weight and then some. I am so uncomfortable in my own skin right now.

I went last night for my glucose test. I have a bad feeling I'm not going to pass. I should know tomorrow. I am measuring 3 1/2 weeks ahead of where I should be, so the doc is not sure if I have GD, a huge baby or maybe just extra fluid. I have always measured right on track with my other kids so this is all new to me and its probably not helping the whaleish feeling I have.

I am now officially waddling.

I have my 4D u/s on March 6th. Super excited about this except the fear of them telling me its a girl LOL

We are shopping for a minivan :)

I cant wait for maternity leave!!!! Excited to be off work and home with my bigger kids for the summer!

I am up a total of 9lbs now. 7 of it I gained in ONE month....sigh, but it happened both other pregnancies around the same months so I am not that worried about it.

Monday Ramblings

My daughter and my hubby were able to finally feel Josiah kick last night. Jamison face was priceless, I think I will have to video it! She is so excited to be kicked LOL!

I love blogs. I am so glad I entered the bloggy world. Some I read make me laugh, some I read make me cry, some are inspirational and just resonate with me. I love logging in to read that someone has reached a new level of working out, or a new milestone in pregnancy or a new low on the scale. I feel their excitement and I LOVE IT!

Hubby is taking his insurance test tomorrow, so we were studying all weekend. He did great on the practice tests so I hope tomorrow goes well for him. He can sell life insurance right now but will soon be able to sell the other goodies that Allstate offers. I am so proud of the time and care he is taking with his new job...makes me very proud.

24 started again last night. I "heart" that show....love me some Jack!

Friday I had to call in sick because I feared Jackson had pink eye. Turns out it was just his cold oozing out his eyes GAG! The doc said he had some fluid building in his ear so she gave him ammox so we wouldn't have to worry over the weekend of him getting worse. Being sick never slowed that guy down! Since I was home I went on a cleaning rampage. Got "the spot" on the kitchen counter sorted (you know like the junk drawer but on the counter LOL) and things put away, dishes done, bathroom cleaned, several loads of laundry done, the garage and our office picked up and all the bedrooms cleaned! Oh ya my point was that I moved the couches around in my livingroom and was able to get the elliptical back in there...right in front of the tv so I really have NO excuses! Tonight I will get on for 10 mins...start out slow and see how I feel. I figure at this point any exercise is better than nothing.

I have packed on some weight these last two weeks and am hoping to keep it slow and steady until my next appt!

doing good with my water!

Had a nice birthday dinner (a few weeks early) with my family at BJ's Brewhouse on sat and then did some scrapbooking...I am so far behind!!

sorry for such a ramblefest.....

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is a very emotional day for me. It's my moms birthday....and the 1st birthday she is celebrating in heaven...Heck I am not even sure you celebrate such things in heaven, but I hope she gets to enjoy a big slice of chocolate cake with her hubby :)

I am feeling emotional....both sad that she is gone and happy that I know where she is and that she is pain free! Sad that my kids wont get to really know her the way I would have liked, but happy that Jamison does remember her, thinks and prays about her often. Sad that she wont know my newest Josiah, but heck again I dont know how God fully works, so maybe she does know him!

Happy Birthday MOM!! I miss you TONS!!

Pity Party...Table for One....

Sitting here wallowing at work in my pity party. I am feeling HUGE today yet still get comments on how I am barely showing etc. Guess its cause I was fat before I got prego and people are used to seeing a big belly.

Feeling crampy, sore, like my pelvis is ripping in half, tired, achey, wondering WHY I am feeling all of this crap so early on. I dont remember all of these pains and such until I was more like 30 weeks with my other kids. Then it dawns on me..I AM almost the BIGGEST I have ever been. I hit 221lbs at my highest and currently am roaming around 217-218.

PHEW....the weight I have to drop after this kid is haunting me....EIGHTY LBS EIGHTY LBS EIGHTY LBS and that is to get me somewhere near 160lbs which is still overweight for my height, but I was mostly happy at that weight and I think I will appreciate it so much more this time.

I know how blessed I am that God chose me to have Josiah and that I CAN and WILL lose the weight after I have him....its just hard to keep a positive attitude knowing the task I have before me!

Really...Only Thursday

I guess me working Sunday is throwing me off this week. It feels like Friday...like I have DONE MY TIME this week! I cant wait for April so I can have 16 weeks off! AHHH I need a ticker for that I think!

Cindie to answer your question about my ability to only have gained 2 lbs so far....here is my explanation. I puked for almost 18 weeks LOL! It was by far my worst pregnancy ever as far at being sick. Lasted about as long, but I was throwing up almost everything I ate. I lost weight and then in the past month slowly gained some back. But at 215lbs, I just cant gain too much more. Labor and recovery after will be soooo much harder if I get to big. Your body was just in diet mode when you found out you were expecting. That happened to me with #1. I had just lost about 60lbs and gained back 45 with her, I think my body was in starvation mode and packed it on. I still was working out and I ate decent...my body likes to weigh 190lbs LOL!

Today I am drinking tons of water, day two of my hands being REALLY swollen. So hoping the extra water helps!


If you havent read Sally's blog... PLEASE do..she makes me laugh with every post. Hilarious!
