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.

beautiful

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!

I wasn't going to blog today..however, after last nights events, I am determined to blog. I want to start by wishing my husband a very happy birthday. I love you more than you will ever know or realize..

ok, last night, Fallie and I were watching the "tummy show" as I like to call it and we played the tapping game. We would tap on my stomach and Q would tap back...HILARIOUS! This went on for about 2 minutes. I told Fallie that she can hear us and of course, she didn't believe me. I told her to say her name and see what she does. Fallen would say "Quinn" and my entire belly would shake like jello...she did this 4-5 times. TOTALLY AMAZING. Fallen then decided she was going to put her ear to my belly..oh, lord. She got it, right in the ear! : )
I am loving how fascinated Fallen is about her sister. She is always asking if that was a kick or a punch..like I can really tell. Regardless of how nervous I was about having this baby and taking away from Fallen, I believe it will be just wonderful. I am super excited to see them meet for the first time.
Oh, for the record, Fallen said her first word will be "sissy". god love her....

dreading the work week

Am I the only person that dreads going to work on a Monday? I think not. I hate it. Next Monday will be tolerable only because I get to go see my wonderful doc and she will check on my babe that is taking over my body....maybe I better start scheduling all my check ups on Mondays....
I hope everyone had a great weekend. It was great to see April on Saturday. I wish she lived closer...or that I lived there. : ) I have a dilemma on the nursery and I can't decide what to do about paint. I wanted chocolate walls x 2 and white walls x2. I can't find the right color of brown and it's annoying..plus I thought I wanted a ceiling fan in her room and now I've found a baby chandelier with pink beads and it's beautiful. With a beautiful price tag of $90 something..whatever. I guess I will figure it all out like I always do. Tomorrow is my sexy husband's birthday. He is 32. Woot. Still sexy..even tho I would love to kill him most days : )
Well, that about does it for now. Quinn's getting a little crazy. Hopefully, that settles down before my bed time. Last week, she didn't get the memo that it was bed time and mama felt like she had been hit by a train from lack of sleep. Oh the things we will go through to have a precious gift of life. I'm ready for April to be here. The month and my friend....

let's try this again.....

I tried doing this before, lost interest, and deleted it. Now, being almost 7 months pregnant, I feel the need to blog. Here I am, 26+ weeks prego and wow! I haven't been pregnant in 9, yes, 9 , years. Shall I say more? How crazy it is that this little baby totally takes over your body...and thinking. I swear, most days, I have a hard time remembering my own NAME let alone anything of utter importance! At any rate, I am going to attempt this blog thing again. I think I just wanted to start it so that my dear friend that lives out of state and my sister that lives in Hawaii can keep track of how I am doing...and how huge I have become! : ) Belly pictures to come!
Have an awesome weekend and bare with me as I try to maintain the blog!
