sweet feet

She sits like this on the couch while reading or watching Little Einsteins. So her, right now. Still feeling awful, cramping and contractions. Little sleep. I am thankful that my recliner, and sleep location of choice here lately, sits next to the large picture window in our living room. I get to see the most amazing sunrises every morning. So I guess if there is a bright side to pregnant insomnia and discomfort, that would be it. Our little man (yes, he’s still nameless even though our family thinks we’re just holding out on them) should be over 5 lbs now by my Dr’s estimate. My next OB appointment is Monday, I’m anxious to see if we’ve made any progress […]

that big horsie head

This one makes me smile….Little T lovin the Gee Gee and Ty, right on his "big horsie head" as she likes to call it =) A quick baby update….I’ve had a couple of rough days, despite staying off my feet as much as I possibly can. Jason ended up having to stay home yesterday morning and then his mom came to our rescue last night. Grandma rocks! She’s rallying the kids today, handling Ty’s doctor’s appointment, checking him into school and just doing a ton to help out so I can concentrate on keeping this baby in. Thanks Grandma!

just one…

Doesn’t she look peaceful and quiet in this photo? To that I say HA! Looks are deceiving! She’s a wired, on the move, sassy, 2 year old full of endless energy! I’m wishing she would pass some of it over my way…

Or as Little T calls her, "Soapie". Makes me giggle every time she frantically runs through the house yelling "WHERE SOAPIE?!?!" =) While Soapie wasn’t the immediate hit on Christmas, they are now best buds, attached at the hip, everywhere we go. Soapie gets snacks, goes to the store and even takes naps with us. T hasn’t asked to take her into the bathtub yet, but hey, I’m not suggesting it!!

a baby update

Sorry I haven’t posted, to say we’ve been overwhelmed wouldn’t really give it justice…. My OB called Monday morning bright and early after finding out I was in L&D over the weekend (love her for that – she called me before I even had a chance to call her). She decided she wanted to see me right away and to head on in. Thankfully, no more progress, I’m still 2cm and 50% effaced. The babies heart rate was good, a little higher than normal but nothing too concerning. I did tell her though that the baby had been really active both Sat / Sun, like constant party going on in there, active but had been quiet all morning long. She […]

stay put, little man

After a really long night at 2 different ER’s on Friday because Ty got bit by a dog, you’d think we’d have had enough of hospitals for one weekend…. I woke up with contractions on Saturday morning around 4:30 am. After a few minutes they went away and I was able to go back to sleep. At 6:15 I woke up in awful pain, I was having really bad cramps and sharp contractions. To the point where I couldn’t walk or breathe through them easily. The contractions were really irregular but I was also feeling a lot of pressure really low so we went into the hospital and left around 7:30. It was all I could do to get to […]
