baby update

to answer ginger's question of what i still need.... the diaper pail will be great. still need one of those. the rest is little stuff. like a kit with the thermometer and all that in it. i havent gotten that yet. also i still need a baby book. i have been planning to get this stuff but havent been able to yet. we got our taxes back and got all caught up and then the chics we bought our car from messed us over and did not pay it off. we had to go and pay $400 so we could get the title. long story short. any way it is now officially ours. after 3 months and lesson learned. dont ever buy anything without the title in hand. then the power steering pump broke. larry fixing at this minute.. lol! needless to say we have had a fun couple of days. everything else is going fine except i am hoping i will not deliver to soon before my due date or that something will work out that my 6 weeks off will still be when cathy is here and reunion time and all that. if not, wednesday, when i go back to work, i am talking to my boss and making sure to get that weekend off at least. he is very understanding and it should all work out should i deliver more than a couple weeks early. i have 5 wees left but i am so huge! at 39 centimeters they are saying she is still looking like a good sized baby. i am expecting another 8 pounder!!! anyway, it is in God's hands and He will let it work out how it is supposed to so i have given up all my worries. will write more soon- love you all!

doing better!

went to the doctor again on thursday and he said i am doing better so far. my blood pressure was normal. i have 5 weeks to go and will see him every week now. my coworkers threw me a shower on tuesday which was very thoughtful and nice. i got a monitor and lots of clothes and such. so i just keep moving more while at work to keep my circulation going and i take my baby aspirin at night and rest on my left side and so far that is working. shaelee is helping me get everything ready. i think she will be a great big sister. she is also excited about her 6 loose teeth (and no cavities!) which will bring the tooth fairy very soon! anyway, i love you all and will post more soon and ill try to post some pics as soon as i can get around to that!

new news

well i went to the doctor again yesterday. it is now time for weekly visits. he says i am running about a centimeter or week sooner than my due date. so i have about 6 weeks or so. tuesday my coworkers are throwing me a baby shower so i am kind of excited for that. other than that i have to slow down a little. my doctor said i am "flirting" with preeclampsia. i am having a hard time with my top blood pressure number. so i have to take baby aspirin at night and sleep on my left side and stand up more while i am at work. so between this and my iron, i am trying to keep healthy so as not to have to take off work early. other than that everything seems to be going okay. love you all! will post more soon!
