being pregnant

I need to confess something...

I am really really missing being pregnant.

Do any of you other new moms miss it?

I am NOT saying I want to be pregnant right now.

Not at all.

But yes sometime in the near future.

I am not sure why I miss it, I wish I could figure it out.

I did have a great pregnancy, but I don't think that is it.

Ok well that's all...

Have a great week!!!

Things I will not miss

Ok So I have been thinking about things I am

not going to miss b/c of being pregnant:

Lack of SLEEP!!!!!

not being able to lay on my back and stomach

big waist line

lifting no more than 25 lbs.

heart burn

acid reflux

taking pills every night (pre natal, stool softeners)

taking fiber every night

(had one case of constipation and I will NEVER let that happen again... Lord willing!!!)

So guess I need to add constipation to the list

not being able to bend over and do daily things

praying I don't get stretch marks (so far so good!!!)

Peeing ALL THE TIME!!! every 2 hours at night

Baby feet wedged in my rib cage... not fun!!!

Things I will miss about being pregnant:

feeling him move in my belly

eating anything and not worrying about gaining weight

eating right before I swim (b/c your not trying to look good)

hearing his heart beat all the time

having an excuse for ANYTHING... "sorry I am pregnant!!" hahaha

(I really never use that one and wish I did more often)

having showers... Yep I said it!

Getting his room all ready.

I know I will think of more and will add as I think of them!!!

We are I guess in month 8 and having our first shower this weekend!!

YEAH!

25 weeks!!! WOW!!!!

Who knew this pregnancy thing would fly by so fast!!!!! I am so glad it is. I honestly thought this would feel like forever b/c we are so ready for him to be here!!!! Well We want him to be here, but we are defiantly not ready! We need our showers to come so we can really be ready!!!!!! I can not believe only 15 more weeks to go and that is if he stays in me all 40 weeks.
Not sure if I have passed this info. on yet, but during my little surgery I had back in May they found I have 2 yes 2 cervix. WHAT????? weird!!! So b/c of this my doctors assume I most likely have 2 uterus as well. Back a while before my surgery they had me do all kinds of sonagrams to see if I had more then normal amount of any organs.... well everything cam back normal so I questioned them about this. I told them I had already been check out to see if I had two uterus and they found only one.... so why now would they think I had two??? Well, since I am pregnant they said everything is all covered up and moved around. So even though we have already checked, we need to check again after the baby comes out... All this to say....
because I most likely have two uterus my doctor says I am at a higher risk for premature labor b/c my stomach is more full then other prego ladies!!!! WOW!!!! So he just might decided to come early! I am Ok if he comes a little early but I do ish for him to come in OCT. Dan's birthday is in August and mine in Sept. so it would be fun to have him in Oct. My moms birthday is Oct. 2 so maybe then!!!???

Ok and not that many people read this blog anyway... Emily I think you and Mar are the only ones... but I bet yall are wondering where the belly pictures are? Well I have the sweetest husband EVER and truely want to respect him. He told me that he thinks these pictures are special to us and does not think the world should get to see them also... so sweet, so I am just going to show some in a dress so it is not my bare belly!!




I have found a bedding that I love and plan on ordering this week so I will post a photo after I order it!!!! Hope yall have a great week!!!! Peace out for now!

All is well!!

Ok so I did have my surgery yesterday and it went great!!!!! MY first surgery was an incredible experience.... I told Dan I can do that everyday if I needed too.... hahahah. I had great nurses and Doctors and everyone was soooo Sweet to me. It also helped that everyone knew Dan b/c they see him up there working and he works along side some of them. It was great when people would come up and say I know your husband. It instantly made me feel Ok with everything. Biggest news is that I know what an epidural feels like and was a breeze!!!!! I am ready to deliver a baby now!!!!! Honestly it was easier then the flu shot. I hate shots and was dreading this part, but it was over before I knew he started... CRAZY!!! I told that guy I was going to request him for my delivery. He loved that. Anyways I had to get an epidural b/c I am pregnant and they could not knock me out. WEIRDEST FEELING EVER!!!!! I tried so hard and just knew I would be the ONE that could move my toes and legs... but nope it did not happen. So weird... if you have never had an epidural you wont understand how weird it is. They would move my legs around and I would have no clue they were even moving unless I was watching.. oh and by the way I was awake during the surgery. That was neat!!! Loved going into recovery and seeing everyone else totally knocked out and I got to watch them!!!!! The only pain I experienced was when I got home last night and went to the restroom.... i had a catheter and when they come out it stings for a while after then when you go to the potty. But after a few times it was gone!

Baby boy did great!!! They check his heart beat all thru the day and he was very active and I felt him kick lots. I did not realize that was him all this time, so I have felt him numerous times before!!!

We are really searching for cribs lately and are not having any luck... Any ideas of good quality but not outrageous price?? We looked @ JCPenny and they are great but when check out comes you see you have to pray $250 on shipping... I would rather put that towards a better crib... We need help!!!!!

Also please throw out some cute, unique boy names... we are struggling with that also!

It's my turn!!!!

Ok So I have not written a lot lately, but that is because I could not stand to write and keep my secret.... I have some friends with baby's and guess what????? IT'S MY TURN!!!!!!! I am pregnant!!!!! I am 12 1/2 weeks today! YEAH! I am due Oct. 8. We are soooo excited. And yes we were trying. That seems to be the first question out of everyone's mouths when we tell people.
We started trying in Sept. and got pregnant in Jan. God is soooooo Good!!! My doctor had already told me do not some back and see me until you have been trying for 1 1/2 years....God knew my patience would not last that long. I wanted a baby now! Thank you God for not making us wait long!
The neat part of it all is that here is Abilene I have a cousin that is two weeks ahead of me and a friend(she is moving soon though, so sad but we are happy for them!) that is just over one week ahead of me. So we get to talk baby all the time!
Ok the next question: How are you feeling?
GREAT, Praise the Lord!!!!!! Never once been sick and feel good all the time! I was a bit nervous b/c my mom was sick from the day she found out till the day she delivered. She left the hospital 20 pounds lighter than what she was when she go pregnant. AHHHH praise the Lord that will not be me! I am so thankful that I feel good. I am walking and working out often! I am walking with my cousin. Crystal, almost everyday. We do at least 2 miles, but most days it is 4. Ok let me explain the "cousin" part. She is actually married to Dan's cousin TC. So we are not really cousins but that is what we all call each other. These days I would honestly call her my best friend! We are inseparable. We love being with each other. We are on the phone all the time if one is out of town or we did not see each other that day. It is so fun to have her here and to be pregnant together! This is her 2nd child so she has been through it all.
Ok next thing: Things I am loving???







As you can see most of it is Dairy, but hey I am happy!!!!!
Here is what I would love to eat all the time, but can't:
Is it normal to want this bad stuff ALLLL the time? b/c man I sure do.






Here is some info from the doctors:
Our first appt was at 7 weeks and the heart beat was 153. They said because I was not very far long it would go up. Well next appt. was Last Tuesday and I was 11 weeks and the beat was 176.... Now I have heard that the higher the heart beat the more likely it will be a boy. I asked my doctor and she said it was a myth... bummer we are really hoping for a boy, but will be sooo excited with a girl also b/c I can dress her up all the time. But we want a boy to be older so he can take care of the girl! hahaha that is probably everyone plan. o-well why not wish for it???

Ok well today I am craving salad and chinese food, so I better go so I can make that happen!!!!
Please pray that I continue to feel great and all is healthy with the baby!
Sara is home and we get to see her this weekend for Easter, pray that is a great experience for her, to have her family all back together and not in the hospital!!!
Peace out!
PS I did not proof read.... it is WAY too long for that!
