It sounds like I'm going to be induced the first week of March. My last baby was 9lbs6oz and their concerned about the size of this one. Not sure whether to be relieved or nervous. I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.

January 2nd, 2008

Saw my doctor today. She has given me the option of March 4th or 5th to be induced. It's two different hospitals so I have to decide which one I want to go to. Looks like my glucose test was good. Won't know for sure for a little bit. As always, a little too much protein in the p**. :) Blood pressure is great, nice and low. I've gained 22 pounds so far.

Hi Everyone!! It's really late and I just finished this whole music thing. Whew! I hope everyone likes the changes I made to my page. It's easier to read now I think. Anyway, most of my music is just stuff that I like but some has some meaning. Little Wonders is simply my favorite singer doing what he does best but first and foremost it's my song to my Nathan. You'll Be In My Heart is my song to my 15 year old. My Heart Will Go On is from my current favorite movie Titanic and my song to my lost angel, Shannon. Sept of 2002. I Hope You Dance is my song to my 11 year old. You've Got A Friend In Me is my song to my 9 year old. Godspeed is my song to my 4 year old. In My Daughters' Eyes is my song to my 3 year old. Forever Young is my song to my very first baby. My 18 year old. Where Are You Going is "our song". We went through a rough time in our relationship and spent the night downtown, alone one night and saw Mr. Deeds, the songs from the movie. It was just an awesome night and really gave us good memories. I have finally found a song for my 2 year old. In my Arms by Plumb. Yay.

I had an ultrasound yesterday afternoon. My little guy is measuring at 33 and a half weeks!! Another big one. I'm actually 32 weeks and 2 days (yesterday, anyway). His head is measuring 34 weeks! His daddy says extra brain for a really smart guy. :) Their guessing him at 4 pounds, 12 ounces. I saw the doctor right after and she said we're still going to look at the 4th or 5th for induction. My legs are hurting something awful. Really achey (sp?), getting harder to walk too much. My doctor said he's pretty low. Gravity stinks!! They should just float, dontcha think???

Had my 36 week check up today. My doctor was checking my cervix for dilation and discovered a foot there instead of a head. A week and a half ago it was a head!! So, now, we have a Footling Breech baby. We will be going back in next Wednesday to see if he's flipped. If not they will try to turn him if we want them to. If it works they'll induce me right away. If not we will be scheduling a c-section. I've never had a breech baby or a c-section, I'm terrified!! All of these babies and on the eighth we're going to have issues. She told me not to go in to labor!! That it could compromise the baby, with the cord and all. Now, how am I supposed to not go in to labor? Not that I ever have before 40 weeks before but now you never know. So, there's another reason for me to panic. If everyone could say a little prayer for us, that would be great.

Good News Everyone!! Baby has turned !! Thanks so much for all of the prayers, thoughts, responses, crossed fingers, advice and wishes!! Now, we just hold our breath and hope he doesn't flip back around. As of today, I'm 1cm dilated and my cervix is soft, which has never happened in the past until at least 40 weeks. So, my doctor has scheduled my induction for next Wednesday the 5th at 7am. Yay, one more week and my little stinker will be here. Then I can have a little talk with him about how he scared his mommy.

Nathan turned 2 months old yesterday!! (May 5th) He had his two month check up. It was soooo sad. He had 3 shots in his little legs and one oral vaccine. He was pretty cranky today and didn't have much of an appetite. He's doing better this evening, though. He got his first buzz cut tonight too. Now he's like Daddy and two of his big brothers!!

Thank you to all of you wonderful women who have responded to my husbands job loss. I still am amazed by the love that works it's way around this site. You are beautiful, all of you.

I can't believe my little man is already four months old!! Almost 5 months!! Wow, time has flown by. The summer is more than half over. It makes me soooo sad. I love when my kids are home. (Most of the time:)

So, now, my husband has started a new job with a competitor of his old company. Serves them right if you ask me. A little bit of a pay cut. This company is quite a bit smaller. But their pricing is better so they tend to win the job over his old company. Bad news is there's no insurance. Ouch. Miss B is in Texas with Miss J, they are at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Fun, Fun, and more fun for them. Mr. Big J is visiting his dad, stepmom and 3 younger siblings. He's been there almost a week. Miss him bunches. Mr. Little J is here with us. He was visiting dad but came home earlier than his brother. The rest of us are all trying to stay cool in this horrid heat. Sorry to all of my dear friends who live where it's cold right now. I'll take the heat over the cold anyday. Mr. M is now officially riding his two wheeler with no training wheels. Yay!! Miss P is getting quite an attitude. Hmmmm....where is it coming from??? Mr. T is just the most lovable little guy in the whole wide world. I bought him a shirt that says, "Dude, your girlfriend keeps checking me out." LOL It is soooo true. Girls of all ages just love him. He's so adorable. Nathan is as cute as can be. He has a great sense of humor. He loves to laugh at me. He is teething like a mad man. He gnaws on anything and everything. He rolls from back to front and front to back. He sits pretty well with support. He now holds his head nice and high while on his tummy. Though, he still doesn't prefer it. He eats 6 ounces of formula with rice cereal every three hours like clockwork except at night. He sleeps from about 8pm until about 6am. He is awesome!! Finally, mommy is getting some sleep. He definitely recognizes the constant faces in his little world. You can tell when he doesn't know someone by the look on his face. He is hesitant but then warms pretty quickly to warm people. He is so far from that sick little baby in his first month of life. Thank you, Jesus. We are blessed. Ooooh, also, my neice just had her second baby. A sweet, adorable baby boy. (her first is a beautiful little girl) So, I am once more a GREAT AUNT. Weird, I thought great aunts were reeeeaaallly old!! That's about it, just keeping our fingers crossed that we won't lose our house. Say a little prayer.....Thanks.

Oh yeah!!! Go Cubbies
