Baby update

So I went to Dr. Laine today. Have I mentioned I love my doctor. My iron is low and my blood pressure is high again. So now I have to take iron pills....sorry to all of those who don't want to read this next part. Everyone who I have talked to about this is telling me to be ready for the constipation.....ugh! Also I have to start taking my blood pressure every day again.

Dr. Laine wants me to go in for an ultrasound again next week to check the baby's growth, then see her again the next week. I also have to do another 24 hour urine sample. I will definitely make sure th lid is on tight each time this time. Then when I go in next she will tell me if I can travel or not. Also after that visit I am going to have to start going in for weekly non-stress test. Plus see Dr. Laine again in two weeks and then start seeing her every week.

To say the least I wasn't thrilled to learn all of this. However, I am grateful for a doctor how is proactive and wants to make sure that if anything starts to go wrong she catches it quickly or stops it from happening. Though the thought of getting to go to my doctor's office twice a week doesn't thrill me. It will be okay and I have great people who love me and keep reminding me of this. My doctor told me to try and get my stress down and all of this just stresses me more.

All will be well........right? :)

Water in my Eyes

I was sitting on the couch talking to Danniqa on Wednesday as it was almost time for her to go home. She wasn't very happy about going and I look over and she is wiping her eyes. I asked her if she was okay, her response..... "I just have water in my eyes." I gave her a hug and told her it was okay to cry and tried to make her feel better.

So if you ever see me wiping at my eyes, I am not crying; I just have water in my eyes.

Baby Pictures

It has taken me a while to get these up. They were taken on the 24th & 25th of Feb. The first one is a profile of her face. With her hand over her eyes. The second......she is definitely a girl.
The first one on this is her cute face , then her mouth doing a kissy face, then the front of her face again.

Under 100

Do you see that number on the side? We are under a 100 days. My sister asked this weekend...how many weeks are you. I replied 26 (now it would be 27). She looked at me and said this is the LONGEST pregnancy. It feels even longer then mine.

I said thanks, I know!

Maybe next time I am pregnant I won't be so excited and tell my family so soon. How knows though.

Miss Danniqa

So we haven't had Miss Danniqa very much due to some craziness. However, this last Wednesday was really good to have her. When we first told her we were having a girl she wasn't really excited. Then when we let her know that we were naming her Jana she didn't like it. She has now warmed up to the name and will talk about Jana all the time. When Jana comes we are going to do this, when Jana comes can we do this.

On Wednesday we went to Bampa and Grandma Taylor's house. Danni was playing ghost but then seh was a nice ghost and wanted to hug everyone. She hugged Bampa, then Grandma, then Dad, Megan came next.....then Megan's tummy and she let us know she was hugging Jana. All I could do was smile.

She also felt the baby move for the first time on Wednesday. We had tried a couple of other times but baby can definitely be stubborn and will stop moving the minute people put htere hand on my stomach. Grandma LeeOra was also able to feel the baby move. She is definitely getting bigger.

Haven't taken very many pictures as of late but hopefully that will change soon.

Private time

Okay friends and family....and possibly strangers. I have decided it is time to go private. Mostly because I don't like some of the key words that are bringing my blog up to strangers. So start giving me your addresses if you would like to still be able to read. I know it is a pain and I am sorry! Hope you all are having a great day!

overwhelmed, worn out, run down, not enough time

So that is how I have been feeling as of late. Everyone then asks well is it the pregnancy. Well actually I have felt fairly well. Though tired. I keep getting a cold and then I let things go and don't get them done. Then I feel overwhelmed and try and get them done. I was having this conversation with my sweet sister-in-law Jennie and about how my house is a wreck most of the time. She then told me about a website that she is using. FLYlady.net. I am sure they will be looking at my blog now. I went on and read some about what they do and have now signed up. Do I still feel overwhelmed.....yes, worn out.....yea, not enough time.....some days. But at least I am starting to feel like there may be hope at the end of the tunnel?....maybe :)

My kitchen sink has now been clean for two days. This may not be a big accomplishment to many of you. But for me it is huge. I could let someone in my house and not be embarrased if they needed to use either of my bathrooms or wanted to go into my kitchen. That is not always the case. So though it has only been a couple of days. I am grateful for those couple of days and am working on keeping it going.
