Things to do

53 days left of this pregnancy if I make it that long. As of yesterday at my appt I am up 20lbs and measuring 37.5 weeks. ( I am only 32 weeks!!) My doc said to not be concerned and we will do an u/s in a few weeks to see why I am measuring so big. Easy for him to say since he is not the one carrying around this heavy belly. I will say I def feel like I am 37 weeks vs 32!


I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the things that still need to be done. I have procrastinated and now I don't want to do any of them LOL! The main thing is the boys room. We still have to paint and I have to finish the bedding I am making for Josiah's crib. I have it pinned, just need to sew it. My SIL is watching the kids overnight in April so P and I can paint their room and then go out on a date for our 7 year anniversary.


Last week we gave our 13 yr old cat some new flea medicine. It took him down. Liver and kidney failure :( We spend 400$ at the vet for meds and a few nights of stay for IV fluids. We picked him up last night and its going to be the next few days will determine whether he will be OK or if we will have to put him to sleep. We got him a few months after we started dating so its been HARD on both of us. He seems to be doing good, eyes are open wide, puring, slept with us last night like usual and had a bit of food and water.


My son is now potty trained! It just clicked one day a few weeks ago and he has been dry ever since. He is waking up from naps and bedtime dry about 3/4 of the time. So I am thinking that in a few weeks we might try to go diaperless all together. So now instead of buying him diapers I am spending the money on diapers for Josiah.


I have about 3 weeks of work left before maternity leave. I CANT wait. I have the 1st week off all to myself, kids will still be in daycare, then the next few weeks they will be there part time and then home with me after I have Josiah. Fortunatly I have a lot of family and friends around to help with them once I go into labor and after I have Josiah if I need a little break!


I am ready to have my little Josi here and ready to get back to losing weight and running!

Josiah Vaughn

30 weeks!

Yawning

and some smiles!

I have my appt tomorrow. Hoping I am measureing more on track and not almost 4 week ahead. If I am still ahead, I am going to beg him for an u/s to see how much this guy is weighing OR to see if just have to much fluid.

I have the day off tomorrow. Going to spend some time with a good friend. She is moving to AZ in a few weeks and I am SO SAD! We plan to go to the Flea Market, have lunch, shop at Joanns for the rest of my fabric so I can get Josiah's bedding done.

Whiney and Witchy!

I feel so crappy ALL the time. I am to the point of being DONE....and to the point of annoying myself with all my whiney and negative words.

My poor husband...poor kids.....poor co-workers....poor friends LOL to you all thanks for putting up with me!

I am getting close...pregnancy #3 has proven to be the most difficult by far. Not sure if its cause I am older (34), heavier, carrying a big kid, body knows what to do so is contracting and spreading faster this time?? WHO KNOWS!

so here's to being 29 weeks and 2 days...and some good points....

1. Having Jesus in my life! :)
2. Only 75 days left till I am due! (10 weeksish)
3. Only 31 days left of actual work! although I am considering staying an extra week
4. My friend Michelle (my long lost sister from across the states) is coming with her family to MEET us in July!
5. We now have a pretty charcoal gray van, 2004 Toyota Sienna to lug my family around in!
6. I haven't gained a ton of weight!
7. My daughter being SO excited to be a big sister she can hardly stand it!
8. Being able to sneak a jeans day in mid week!
9. Having my 4D u/s this sat and seeing my boy again and that Josiah is thriving and doing well!
10. Having a supportive husband who is dealing with my whining!

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.....
