Birth Story Soon!!!

38 weeks :)

Last night at around 4pm I was not feeling well. My feet and hands were swollen and My Lips and eyes felt like they were burning. My in laws brought over a blood Pressure Monitor and I have been checking it at home whenever I have not been feeling well. My blood pressure was 150 over 90. and my Pulse was 110. Maybe am more sensitive to my symptoms because I had my Little Worm at 36 weeks, and ANY Symptoms freak me out,but I decided to call my Dr. I went in to the Hospital to get monitored and have peace of mind. They said everything was fine and I will be going back to my Ob on Thur Morning. My Ob. Is leaving for a Vacation on Oct 9 . I am not happy about him going on vacation:( I am not sure when he is coming back or when he is planing on scheduling my repeat C-section. Hopefully on Thur Morning I will have some answers.

Well even though I was on my way to the hospital we still have 2 small children at home and a night time to-do list. My husband took over:) He took both Children to Monkey Boy's soccer practice. Entertaining Little Worm for over a hour outside all wile Monkey Boy practiced. Then he went one step further an took them both to get Pizza for Dinner. This was the 1st time he took both of them out to eat by himself. When I can home from the hospital both boys were in bed. He told me to remind him Never to take both of them to a Pizza Buffet by himself ever again. He said the kids behaved,but that a buffet style restaurant was way more then he could handle. First of all the High chairs that they have at the restaurant have wheels on them and when my Husband got up to grab some pizza Little Worm decided to pull himself to other tables nearby. Then he got up to try to get himself a drink and Little worm grabbed A cup off the table and spilled red H-C all over himself and the floor. My Husband was exhausted and said that the kids ate great,but he is not even sure if he finished a slice of pizza. I loved hearing this story and laughed so hard that he got a little glimpse of my life:)

37 Weeks and 3 days:)

Seriously Folks it's not Twins just one Baby!! Why do I look so huge in Pictures??? Monkey Boy took this photo! Remember he is 5 ! I am hanging in there and cannot wait to meet my Daughter. This Pregnancy has been the hardest on me. Baby Girl has actually Bruised my Pelvic Bone and every time the O.B goes to measure me I cringe and say Ouchhh!! I guess it's because she is so low she is rubbing up against the bone. I googled it and it happens in like 10% of pregnancy's..Lucky me!! It makes it so hard to walk or even put a pillow between my legs at night:( I know it will all be worth it when I see my Beautiful Healthy Baby ! I am now starting to swell in my feet and hands. My Blood Pressure was a little high this past week 140 over 90 so they are keeping a eye on that. I am having my 3rd C-section and as long as I do not go into labor on my own they generally take the Baby out at 39 weeks witch will be Oct 13. So Looks like in 12 days or less She will be here:)

36 Weeks:)

I am 36 weeks with Baby #3..I am at my Dr.'s Goal for me:) I have gone into Preterm Labor 2 times so far. Once at 27 weeks.(told to quit working and take it easy)Once at 34 weeks. Both times resulted in drugs to stop the contractions and 2 over night stays in the Hospital. I delivered my Little Worm at 36 weeks on the day and his Lungs were not developed. His Birth was so scary. He did not come home with me. Everyone says that Girls develop faster in the Womb than Boys,and that her Lungs are Probably developed. Either was I would Love for her to stay in a few more weeks at least. I feel HUGE. I am at the point of the Pregnancy where none of my Maternity Shirts fit ..They ride up on my Stomach all day long and annoy me. I have Lots of Pressure in my Groin and it literally hurts to walk to the Bathroom. Also Lately I am starving almost all day long...I have noticed that I am eating alot of food.....Like I cannot get enough food .. Anyone else feel like that before they delivered? Basically I am hanging in there trying to do as little as Possible in order for Baby Girl to develop as much as she can in the Womb. I want to Bring her Home with me when I go home! I go to the O.B. Tomorrow Night.....I wonder what he will say??? A Picture will come as soon as I can get someone to take one for me:)

Sneak Peak

We Live in a 3 Bedroom House. When we found out we were expecting our 3rd Baby naturally we realized that someone would eventually start sharing a bedroom. As I have written before Lil Worm was a Awful Sleeper until about 14 Months. No Joke! He just turned 18 Months at the end of last month and is FINALLY sleeping through the night every night! I prayed so hard to God to please let him learn how to sleep. We were real nervous about putting the 2 boys together. My Husband even suggested that maybe we should just put a crib in a corner of our room and let someone sleep there. That was going to be our game plan until we found out that Baby #3 is a GIRL. You see how can I pass up planing a Baby Girl Nursery! I thought since the Boys will eventually be sharing a room might as well Transition my Lil Worm now Before his New Baby Sister gets here. So far so good ...Lil Worm is sleeping GREAT in his Brothers Room. Better than either one of us expected!! We have Finally started making Baby Girls Nursery. There is some Furniture on order and we are still waiting on lots of things to get it complete,but it's starting to come together. I thought everyone might enjoy a Sneak Peak! This Nursery would have not been possible with out the generosity of Baby Girl's Grandmother Lyn who gifted her ultimate Baby Girl Nursery. I am so Thankful to have a Baby girl Nursery of my dreams and cannot wait for my Little Girl to be able to enjoy her sweet room.

How Do You Oreo?

Little Worm Recently had his Very First Oreo:) He Loved It! Funny How One Cookie can make such a mess:)

33 Weeks

Wow I am currently 33 weeks and I am Wondering when Little Girl is going to come. You see my Lil Worm was Born at 36 weeks. I have already been in the Hospital at 28 weeks with Premature Labor that they stopped. Thank Goodness!! I told my O.B. that it was my Goal to make it to 38 weeks and he informed me that it's His goal for me to get to 36. ( I still think it's strange for a Dr to say that) I have contractions almost every single day. Sometimes they are mild last night they were awful. I was having contractions every 2 Min for about 14 min then when I finally went upstairs and laid down they subsided. My Dr only wants me to call him if I have 10 Contractions in a hour for 2 hours. Well If they would have kept up strong like that I probably would have called him within the 1st hour. So far today I feel good:) I am taking it extremely easy doing nothing more than what I have to. Monkey Boy took a picture of me before he left for Kindergarden this Morning. I am a short person only about 5"2 so I think she has nowhere to go but out... I actually do not feel as big as I look if that makes any sense?
