Holy Cow! Its 4 am I cant sleep. I have way too many worries running through my mind.

My number one concern is that everything goes smoothly and the baby makes it here happy and healthy.

And that I hope that Carter knows that we love him. I know that he is going to be so sweet with this baby. But I hope that he knows that He is loved So so so much. I am scared that he will feel like he is being put on the back burner. And I would never want him to feel that way! AHHHH! 

These two guys in the picture have been the only true loves of my life for so long now. But today we will be adding a third little man! It amazes me that one person could have so much love to go around.

I need to thank EVERYONE that has helped us make it to this point. With entertaining Carter.... to the foot rubs. .... TO my mom that just listened when I needed to talk. Thank you!

FINALLY!!!

So I had not felt the baby move since my Dr. Appointment on Monday. The Dr. saw me Yesterday and THe baby MOVED!!! he is head down. And He is Starting me Tomorrow Morning. We are all nerves.... but so excited that we will finally meet our new member this weekend.

38/39 week

MMMMKKK...... where to begin?
I dont know if I have mentioned this or not... but i HATE BEING PREGNANT!!!!!
Last week was my 38 week checkup.. And i was 3 centimeters, progressing great. But was in tears when the doctor said that he wouldn't start me. He wanted to see a little more progression.  At that appointment he told me "Monday!"
Monday is finally here. But for some reason, My hopes weren't up like they usually are.
I went to the Dr. and all of the nurses were so excited that it was finally time.... but still something was not letting me get excited???? The wait in the room by myself seemed like it was hours. Finally Dr. Firth Came in with a smile from ear to ear... saying "we made it!"
We listened to the strong heart. And the baby belly is measureing 41 Weeks. Everything seemed like it was looking great. He checked me... and i was still the same! all of a sudden the Dr. didnt seem to excited anymore... saying he was stepping out to turn on the ultra sound machine. My heart sank! I had only received one ultrasound with both pregnancy's. So why would he want or need to do another???
As we were walking into the ultrasound room.. he said the baby seems like it might be breached. There is no reason why I should be measuring the same as last week. I should have progressed quite a bit.
EVERYTHING on the ultra sound seemed perfect. and at that moment it really didn't matter to me when he was coming. as long as everything was all right. I was looking for the heart. and at the brain. looking for two arms and legs. I was calm.
The baby is not breached. But his head is sitting on my left hip instead of down in my cervix where he needs to be at this point. If he doesnt move down then they are thinking that we might need to do a Csection. Both the Dr. and I didnt want to go in that direction. But at the same time... We dont really want him to get any bigger than he already is. The Dr. showed me some moves and stretches that will probably help. So now it is just a waiting game. He wants to see me on Friday. And he will make a decision from there. 
Hopefully my next post we will have some exciting news!

Pictures! BuT still NO bAbY!

Jason went fishing today with Carter, and his two cousins Justin, and Dillon.
I get a call from Carter telling me to grab the camera, and head outside to take a picture of their huge fish!
I dont know who caught which one, but Carter insisted on holding the biggest one in the pictures.
(I have no idea where he would get that from?!)
Carter is getting so big, and knows just how to pose for the camera!
I will have to say.... Jason isnt looking to bad himself!!!! :)nudge.. nudge.. wink.. wink!

 

Holy cow, I love this kid!

He kept trying to take a picture of himself with these old glasses on. but couldnt get his whole face in the pictures. So he begged me to take on of him. I think his attempts are really cute!

 

Carter had a field trip to Macey's with his preschool class.

This is the two classes that Miss Julie teaches.

It was fun to have all of the kids learn more about the store.

Julie is so patient with all of these kids. I dont know how she does it. 

But Carter sure loves her!

37 week update!

I have decided that my Dr. hates me! I am so misserable. Still only at a 2. He wont start me! URG!
Everything still looks, and sounds great. Baby is measuring 38 plus weeks.
I guess There is always next week!

High school reunion!!!

Last night, Jenna Spence, Ashlee Gardner, Jodi Nelson, Marley Leishman, Brittney Branch Melanie Maughan, and I all met up at Maddox for a high school friend get together. It waaaasssss ssssoooo muuuuuch fun! It is so amazing how no ones personalities really change when you get back into the group you grew up with. Everyone picked up where they left off. taking on the roles we had as a group! (i dont know if that makes sense......)
It was so fun remembering all of the things that we use to do together, and the new lives that we have all made for ourselves.
We were all laughing so hard it hurt.  I feel bad for those people that had to share the dinning room with us.

I am so greatful that i had such fun, wonderful friends, and crazy memories made with this group!
Thanks guys, lets not wait to long to do this again!!!
I need to Thank Jason for being a great dad, and husband by watching our little man while i was with my friends!
(sorry, no pictures! I already have mine in the hospital bag)

36 Week check up!

Went to the doctor today. This time was super fun!!! I got checked!!! not one of my favorite things to do.
But, the news was great. I am diolated to 2 Centemeters!!! That gave me a little something to smile about. I was a zero when they started me with my first pregnancy. So there is hope that i wont have another 27 hour labor!
baby looks and sounds great.

Cant wait to see what next week's appointment will bring us.
Do you think my hopes are to high if i shoot for 6 centemeters?
