Shonie Kodak Moment #2

Shonie has found a new bed. Its the bottom of a bottled water package..and we dare take it away from him, he is just to darn cute when he sleeps!!

32 Weeks

We had our 32 Week visit today with Dr. Shakr....we sure love that guy!!! My weight gain is 14LBS to date and my blood pressure/weight are right on target and "excellent". Timothy J is over 3LBS, heart rate in the 140's and is apparently very fiesty. I have been having alot of Braxton Hicks contractions and cramping, so he checked my cervix just in case. Everything is still good in there and he even felt his head (weird!).

We discussed Dr. Shakrs on call availability, unfortunately its not a guarantee that he will deliver for us, so we still have to meet a few doctors just in case we don't end up with him.

As far as mom goes...I have been wicked tired and heartburn has become my new best friend. I wake up every night between 2-3am for a massive pee-pee. Timothy J has discovered my ribs--which I found is a really good motivation for good posture. My mood swings are awful and I am missing the compassion gene while I am at work..poor patients. :( My fellow co-workers have been wonderful with me and have also discovered my belly for daily baby rubs.

55 Days to go....and it sure is intimidating!!

Thoughts....

Notes to self:

1. Must buy slip on shoes!
2. DO NOT overeat--this makes the rest of the day completely miserable.
3. It's okay if things are not perfect now...we still have a few weeks to fix things.
4. I WILL be a good mom, despite my doubts!!!
5. Embrace the tummy kicks...even though they hurt at times.
6. Sleeping on my stomach is a thing of the past, deal with it.
7. Yes, I have more cellulite, its not my eyeballs hallucinating.
8. Eat the fruit Timothy J is craving!
9. Let people rub your belly, it brightens their day!
10. Allow people to pick things up for you-don't be a hero.

11. It's OK to be scared.
12. Patience...patience....MUST HAVE PATIENCE.
13. Enjoy my sleep...every minute of it.
14. Breathing out of my left nostril is a thing of the past...welcome fluid retention!

31 Weeks

31 Weeks has arrived and we have begun the countdown! A bit of anxiety has set in (just for me) and a newfound belly discomfort. I have shown you the belly...and bared most of it! Enjoy!

30 Weeks

Timothy J has nowhere to go, but outward now......

28.5 Weeks

28.5 Weeks with a Face...(For Grandma)

28 Weeks

As you can see...I have someone living with me. He has made his presence known everyday and there is no hiding him anymore! With the 28th week I am feeling drained, puffy and sleepless! I pee a little much for my liking and I find myself eating alot and getting fuller quicker. Sleeping has become an issue, as I wake up to this little man tumbling around and kicking me if I am not in a position to his liking!

Other than that, I have been feeling good and anxious to meet him. We will start putting the nursery together and painting our mural within a few weeks. T.J. is sketching out something really amazing..I can't wait to start working on it all!

Onto other good news, my mom is definitely coming in early June and she may have my sister and Afton joining her!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!

1 Year Strong!

Today was our 1st Wedding Anniversary and a very special holiday for us! We had an adventurous first year together and we hope to keep going strong for MANY more!

And of course celebrating the band that brought us together....HAPPY 311 DAY!!

Poker for Pampers Party!

I put together a Poker for Pampers party this past weekend for Cheryl and I! I must say it went great! We sure have some great friends and family here! We had our friends come and play in a Poker tournament for cash $$$-the only key thing was they needed to bring some diapers or wipes for the moms-to-be! We had a fairly good turn out and walked away with a good amount of goodies!

Here are some pictures..
