Whoo Hoo..

We are now 28 weeks pregnant. 84 DAYS!!

It's flying by! I'm getting more and more excited to meet our baby girl. She's getting really big. I can feel where she is by pressing down on the belly now. And I'm finally starting to look like a pregnant chick! :)

I guess I can show off the belly. Side wise doesn't look all that impressive in the pictures but forward wise you can see that the belly really is getting round and out there. And YES, I'm getting little fat rolls on my sides (it's soooooo cute, right? :( )

We are throwing Kelly's Birthday Party on August 2nd. It's going to be a Baby Shower/Birthday Party. I figured it's early to do a baby shower, but since we'll be doing all the food and what not's might as well throw a shower at the same time so it's worth everyone's time for driving over here. And I'm terrible about remembering things so I just now am mailing out the invites!!

We are OKAY..

So, we went to the doctor and everything is fine.. The pain I am feeling is just because she is growing so fast. Everything is normal and baby is doing fine. Today I had to take off my wedding ring because my hands are so swollen.. I am hoping that it is just for today that it'll have to be off, I think it's weird not wearing my ring and looks bad now that I am pregnant.. :)

Well, that's all for now just wanted to update everyone by saying that I am okay and baby is fine..

uuuuuuhhhh..

Well, I was worried last night that I was starting to have contractions, but I think I am just paranoid.. I am going to take it easy for a few days and hopefully by Wednesday (when we go to the doctor) everything will be okay or at least they will be able to check on everything.

Our camera sucks, but I got some new pictures of the ever growing belly. We are now 26 Weeks.. Only 14 Weeks to go or 95 days. I feel like she's gone through a growth spurt and the belly is huge, but everyone tells me that it's not.

And my brother and his wife sent us the cutest little package with a bunch of farm stuff for Mattie.. I just had to take a picture. The cow is a bottle holder! So stinking cute!! I've never seen anything like it!

We still have 3 puppies running around here. They are getting to be real handfuls.. We have the two boys we are trying to sell, but too many puppies out there right now. And then the one we are keeping for my ex-step-mom, who has been really ill after her last chemo treatment. But I hear that she may not even want the puppy after all, but I want to hear if from her before I try to sell the puppy.

Now back to resting and keeping my swollen feet up and trying not to worry.. I can't wait to meet my little girl but she needs to incubate a little bit longer, at least 3 weeks. Ah, yes, I updated the picasa albums with puppy pictures and belly pictures for those of you who want to keep track..

Baby Born at 24 weeks.

This is a website for a baby that was born at 23 1/2 weeks.. She survived for 9 days, but died after they did a heart operation on because she had three brain bleeds.



It's sad but I love seeing just how big Mattie would be if she came into the world today.. And she could survive. It would be a struggle but she could do it.. This story makes me want to stay pregnant and deal with everything because I want my little girl to come into this world without having to struggle to live there are enought other things to deal with.. :)


YIKES... I updated my little baby badge on the side of here and realized that in 6 days, we will be down to 2 digits left.. That's scary!!! 105 days to go..

Rough Day already...

Well, Shiloh is doing okay. She is suffering through it. They pulled two teeth, gave her the rabies shot and took out all her girl parts. She doesn't have any pain medication so she is still pretty wimpy and sleeping in bed with us for now. She ate a ton of food this morning and drank a bunch of water, which is good. Just healing.

We had an odd occurance yesterday. Monsoon season is in town and it broke our big beautiful tree into peices. Only one little branch left standing. This is the same tree that we fought with all of last monsoon season to get it to stay upright, but this time the wind won.

And this morning we had an accident with Kelly's truck and it ran through the garage door. So we are now sitting her waiting to hear from a repair company and the insurance company. However, we are just glad that it didn't hit the garage or my car and it didn't really do any damage to Kelly's truck, just a little scratched but no dents. I will put up all the pictures of Shiloh, the tree and the garage door on the link..

Time is going..

SO fast! Today Kelly and I signed up for our birthing classes (there are 4 of them) but we won't take them till August and September. It's exciting! We took Shiloh to get her girl parts taken out this morning, so now I'm all worried about our little girl.. but in a week or two we are going to be taking Foxy to get her done too. No more puppies for us! I am relisting the puppies in the paper too.. Busy busy.. I feel like we have a hundred things to do and no time to do it in.

This is a picture of Shiloh when she was just a few weeks old.. Seems like so long ago.. Soon it'll be Mattie we are taking pictures of!

We played last night with the carseat to make sure it fit okay in the backseat of my car.. Well, it fit.. But no one can sit in the passenger seat of my car. So, we took it out and we are leaving it up to the firemen (they know what they are doing) which was the original plan, I just worried that it wouldn't fit and then it would be too late to take it back. But it does, its just huge. I checked on consumer safety to make sure it's a good car seat and it rates okay. Not the best but not the worst. Which is what I expect.

Well, I'm sure I'll be back later today or tomorrow with pictures of Shiloh after her adventure and updates on how she's doing.. She's like a child, you know.

Oh yes, Kelly reminded me this morning, in 27 days he will be 30!
