update

I've been bad at blogging. Sorry. I honestly don't even know if anyone is keeping track of this or not.

We had our ultrasound on 3/24 and baby Q weighed approx. 5.5 lbs. She has HAIR and kept opening her eye during the show. Kinda creepy but oh so cool. Fallie got to skip school to go and she was so excited to see her sister on ultrasound. She got to take a picture of the u/s to school with her and the teacher allowed her to walk around and show all the kids. She's pretty proud to become a sister : )

It's been a rough week so far. I don't really want to go into detail until I know more of what's going to happen. I would just really like to have Quinn as soon as possible so I can see her sweet face and stop worrying..at least about her.

Much love to all

I guess I've been lazy...Quinn's party turned out AWESOME and I got lots of neat things. I will post some pictures when I get more time and feel like sitting for a longer period of time. As for me and my babe, we are hanging tough..lol. Her room is finally coming together and I am getting more excited as the days go by!! : )

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant and OH SO READY for it to be time to have this sweet baby. I have a doctor's visit on Wednesday and will post again after I get my ultrasound & have my weekly visit. I can't wait to see her face..even if it is on an ultrasound!
Much love and happiness.....

32 weeks

We've got another week under our belt and I had a great doctor's visit. I am feeling pretty good. I REALLY want to NEST..but I can't. The urge may get the best of me. : )
I am pretty excited about my party this weekend. I can't wait to see my family and friends and chow down on some food. I really hope the heartburn stays away, at least for Saturday : )

My cousin Cami's farewell party is Saturday night. I am so happy for her, but sad to see her go. I know that she and Kolin will be very happy in Georgia...

Baby Q is moving like crazy and must be doing her daily aerobics! That's what it feels like! HAHA.

Oh, for those of you who were wondering...I DID cave and buy the chandelier for Quinn's room..I will post some pictures after this weekend. If you can't make it to the party, please know, you WILL BE MISSED. April & Lacy, I love you both SO MUCH!

31 weeks

I went to the doctor on Monday. It went well. I gained 3 POUNDS in a week and my belly grew 3 CM! Crazy! Baby Q's heartbeat was great and I was pleased even though I gained that many pounds..Oh well! My next 3 appointments will be on Tuesdays. I went back to physical therapy this week and saw her twice in 2 days. She said she could tell why my back was hurting and gave me some relief! She is awesome! She was also kind enough to buy a sweet little dress for Quinn, which I thought was super thougtful.

My Gran has been in the hospital since Wednesday and I am hoping she goes home soon. My mamaw hurt her wrist and has to go to the specialist and I am hoping her wrist gets better without surgery! Today, we found out that there is a tsunami warning for Hawaii and I am worried for my sister's safety. I hate that I can't protect her. However, she is an adult now and I often forget that. To me, in my mind, she is still 14, not 22. Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend. My baby party is next weekend and I am very excited to see my family and friends and of course, get presents! : )

Take it easy...

This week has been a drag. I went to the dr on Monday and she gave me some not so good news. She wants me to be on bed rest as she is afraid that baby Quinn may try to come too soon. I can not do bed rest..well not for 8 weeks that is! At any rate, I have to SLOW down. I really feel fine. I don't think my baby feels fine. I am having lots of pressure and braxton hicks...which is annoying. The doctor seems to think that the baby has dropped as I am measuring at 28 when 2 weeks ago I measured 29. I also lost a pound instead of gaining. After the valentine's meal Mike and I had at Mo's on Saturday, I should have gained 5!!

I am just hoping that next week will be what we have been waiting for. I pray that the letter comes from Chrysler saying that Mike goes back to work on March 1. We keep hearing that is supposed to happen. But then again, you can't always believe what you hear. Mike going back to work would be the answer to our prayers.

As for me, I plan to take it easy. I have dinner plans on Saturday with some old friends. It should be good times.

Thankful....

I wanted to start out by saying how thankful I am to be able to carry a child. I may complain... A LOT..but the truth is, I am very grateful. I would just like these last 9 weeks to go by fast. With Fallen, if she isn't feeling well, I can SEE that. With this precious baby that I am carrying, I can't tell that. The unknown petrifies me. So much, that I think obsess about it. I don't want to be the one calling the doctor's office every 5 minutes. Then again, I don't want to overlook anything either. I am very grateful that I can count on my mom at all hours of the night....

I may post a picture later this week. As for now, I am on bed rest until Wednesday. I have plenty to do around here and never enough time to do it. Now would be the perfect time...but Doctor Brazus said I need to relax and take it easy. I will do what she says as QUINN needs to "cook" just a little longer.

She is so in love without even meeting her. This picture says it all.
