Hanging In There

I went to the doctor today, and he said that next week, I would be full term. Woohoo, the baby will be fine whenever the Lord decides to bring him after that.

Here is a belly shot from this morning. I am exactly 36 weeks today.

Counting Days

We're counting the days....
for Gabey's "Delayed Intensification" to be over, and....
for Gideon to make his appearance.

We have about a month for each.

I can't do the blog like I want, because I'm pretty uncomfortable at the computer, and can only sit here for a few minutes without getting pain in my left leg. :(
I miss my computer, and I miss my computer friends.

Wedding Ring

My hands and feet were a bit swollen because of the pregnancy, and I read in a book about some women having to have their jewelry cut off. I definitely don't want to have that happen to my wedding and engagement rings, so I took them off, and am sporting them on a black cord around my neck.

Visit with Family

I asked my family to come over yesterday to help me with some stuff around the house. I haven't been feeling very well, pretty sore, and light headed. I need to be more consistant with my iron pills, and well, I can't really do anything about the soreness, except taking more tylonol. My feet and hands have been a little swollen lately too, so I'm just not up to par.

Well, my awesome family... my mom, my dad, my stepmom, and my sister all came over, and cleared out the spare room, and took down the shelves, and everything. They helped with laundry, and dishes, and spackled the spare room to get it ready to paint. I am so very thankful to have such a great family that will come and do work like that for me.

Chrissy went out in the rain with Gabey, and this time I joined them. It was nice and refreshing. We didn't get pictures, but Gabey got rain shoes on, and his umbrella, and splashed in the puddles, with my dad.

Squiggle Baby

It's a weird angle, and the seam on my shorts make it look weird, but this video shows Gideon moving around in my belly.

28 Week Belly

Ultrasound Today

I'd like you to meet Gideon Charles. :):)


He's right on schedule for October 16th, he's perfectly healthy, and a whopping 1 pound.

Ultrasound Tomorrow

I finally called for an appointment, and they had a cancellation for tomorrow to get an ultrasound.
I'm so excited. Jeffie was actually able to get the whole day off, and so now we don't have to worry. We have to go to the Clinic tomorrow also, to sign a consent form for Gabey, so we'll go from there to Hillcrest, where we'll get the ultrasound.

In the beginning of this, I was afraid that if I found out it was a boy, I'd be really disappointed, but today, I guess since we're finding out tomorrow, I really started thinking about it....

and I have a real calm.
I know now, that either way, I'll be totally contented.
If we are having a boy, I am absolutely good with it.
We even talked about the name Gideon again and confirmed that it would be his name if it's a boy.

So, tomorrow, you will see pictures, and meet either Grace or Gideon.

19 Weeks

I went in for an appt with my OB, and it went just great. The baby's doing just fine. I saw the heartbeat, and her little head. She's a tiny bit breech, but it's so early, it will definitely change.
I'll go in for the real ultrasound soon, and find out if I'm just wishful thinking or if it really is a little girl. ROTFL.

Baby D's First Photo

Don't worry if you can't make anything out. I can't either, ROTFL.
But I did get to see her little heart beating. :) (I don't know if it's a girl or not, but I'm.... hoping. :)

Can't Get any Clearer than this.

Well, what do you know??

Still sick as a dog

Sorry, my bloggie friends. I've been absent from blogland.
This is my note of excuse, lol. I'll have my mom sign it when she comes over to visit. ROTFL.

I'm still sick as a dog. My head and stomach are just revolting. Yikes.
My daddy was a wonderful daddy today, and stopped by. He took my library items back to the library, and then brought back lunch. I love my Daddy!!

Jeff has been just perfect. I rave about him! As you can all read, I think he's just the best husband in the world. He played with Gabey all night, so I could veg on the recliner. Right now, he's running out to get me some gingerale, and after dinner mints.... and some movies. I LOVE HIM!!
