Appointment Four

THIS BEAUTIFUL BUMP JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER, AND BIGGER! I AM LOVING IT!

Today 26wks. 6 Days

My doctors appointment today went great! We reviewed my Ultrasound, and she does not want to change my due date at all. She thinks the baby is still big. Well, big enough not to change the due date. I measured 27 weeks.

My doctor told me I was the cutest pregnant girl, and a little Fashionista today. Instead of correcting her, I just smiled and said thank you! Ha Ha. (Candice don't worry, this isn't your hat. I bought one for me too! Not that you would care if I wore it!)

I have to go in next week to do my glucose testing. I was supposed to do it today, but she was running behind, and I had to get back home.

I mentioned to her how low the baby was, and she mentioned being concerned about it being breech. It doesn't worry me yet, but I hope it corrects itself. I don't know what exactly the baby being low has to do with the baby being breech. I think I'll look into it.

Today, I felt EXTREMELY ANXIOUS. I felt like 3 months is going to take forever to meet this baby. I know it will go by fast, but it will take forever all in the same. I don't know how people can not find out the sex of the baby. It is hard!

I really feel fantastic most days, but I am getting to the sleepless nights. My back is starting to hurt so bad at night, and I wake up all night long to switch sides. I am so sick of sleeping on my sides! Other than that, I feel great! :)

26 Weeks
Mykelle took this picture. I guess she thought it looked better with my head cut off :)

Then my kids wanted a belly picture too. Cute huh? Notice Kel's chipmunk in the shot.

One of the MANY Hair ties I made. Thanks for teaching me how to make them Emily! I love them!

Just a few pictures that I found on my camera! Kids are so cute! My kids love taking pictures!
Mykelle being so creative with Trey's train tracks! Notice that our floors upstairs STILL have no carpet.
This week for Family Night, we started a dinner journal. I kind of got the idea from Family Fun magazine, we just changed it a little.

Every night at dinner, we talk about our favorite thing of the day. We have since I can remember. It's one of my favorite rituals. Some days, it is just little things like, Seth usually says he is so happy to be home with his family. Almost every night. Mykelle almost always says going to school, or playing with her guniea pig.(Did I mention we got another one form my parents for Christmas?) Trey usually says he liked playing trains, or playing with his mom and sister. Mine changes daily, but there are those days when we all say something different. When we feel so happy that we don't want to forget what we did that day. so, we decided to start keeping track of all of them. Not every night, but every night we sit down together at the table for dinner. Which is usually 5 nights a week.

I also write what we ate for dinner. I don't know why, but I think it might be fun to look back on. I'm odd like that. I love looking back at things. I still remember things we ate as a family growing up. Shepherd's pie, ham fried rice, beans and corn bread, Roast, and my mom's potato cheese soup.

Anyway, that is what we did. We read about how important writing in journals are, then after dinner, we wrote in our own journals, and each others. I wrote Seth a really sweet, admiring note, and he wrote in mine, " I love you. Lets do it." It was sweet. Isn't he such a romantic? Oh, I love him!

THURSDAY CONFESSIONAL:

I looked at the scale today at the doctors! I've gained 13 pounds. I smiled though. My body feels strong! I feel like I have this incredible body that is going to give birth to a baby. I asked Seth if he can tell I gained 13 pounds, and he said kind of. I laughed, then I asked where. He said in my butt. LOL. Baby got back. I just DON'T want to get a double chin again!

I also must confess, that I like having a goal to get my body back in shape after each baby, and I like working towards getting my six pack back each time.
