30 weeks!

Time is flying, or not so much. I'm now 30 weeks along, and the summer is getting hotter and hotter. Luckily, all is well with Madison. She is growing SO fast now! I recently went in for my glucose testing, but I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm hoping that no news is good news! I will go back next week and we will set up a time for some NST tests. Hopefully, that will give us a better idea of when to expect Madison. All we know is that she will be here BEFORE her due date of 9/13/10.

Gavin is back in school for his third term. 2 weeks down, 8 to go. He is doing great, and I couldn't be more proud!

That's about the only update we have right now. I hope all is well with everybody.

24 Week Growth Scan...

I haven't updated for a while, so I figured it's about time!

I went in for a growth scan yesterday to make sure Madison is growing as she should. Surprisingly, she is already 1 lb 10 oz.! Slightly bigger than normal. That is awesome news and the doctor said he couldn't be happier due to past problems. The tech even took some 4D images since Gavin couldn't be there! I go back in 1 month for another growth scan. (Actually I will do it every month until she is born now.) At 32 weeks, Madison and I will do some stress tests. They are thinking it would be best to induce me, so she could actually come anytime around the end of August to the middle of September! The doctor will decide more on that later. He said the most important thing I need to do is stay stress free. (Fat chance on that happening!) Other than that, all is well and I will post more of an update later!

Sorry

Well I have edited my last post, as I seem to have unknowingly upset somebody. It wasn't on purpose, nor was it my intentions. Those were my feelings, and you have to understand that it was stressing me out very much. I had a procrastinator in my wedding line, and I was given an ultimatum regarding this person. So yes, I feel I had the right to be upset over the situation. Anyway, I removed my feelings from my blog and I am sorry.

What is going on?!

Life has been nothing less than crazy lately. The wedding has been a disaster to say the least. I have been trying to make everything work on such a tight budget and it's been HARD! We had everything planned, tables rented, dress getting altered, etc and then we got the bad news that the weather was going to be horrible. Yep bad weather goes GREAT with an outdoor wedding! This was my fear all along, and the reason I didn't want an outdoor wedding in the first place. I gave in, and now we are in a major disaster. It's nobody's fault, just frusterating. We can't get our money back from diamond rental in time to put it down on the church we want. Unsure of what to do now. The wedding is less than a week away. I'm losing my mind very quickly, and all of the stress is causing nothing but arguements between me and Gavin. On the flip side, we found out we are having a girl! It finally hit Gavin that he will be a daddy soon when he saw the ultrasound and the tech announced it was a girl. He is all smiles, and very excited.

10 weeks

At this point I am 10 weeks and 4 days along. Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment. It was the first time Gavin got to hear the heartbeat. It was exciting watching the baby! The doctor was having a hard time getting a picture because the baby was constantly moving around. It was so cute! On the not so fun side, I am lacking some nutrients. I still have to take my prenatal pills (of course) but I also have to add Vitamin D3, B6, and Iron. I'm deficient in all three. The doctor said it is just a bad side effect from having the weight loss surgery. But at least the baby is doing good, that's what matters!

On a not so fun note, I'm sick of drama! I just have to say it! How can you be a bad person when you don't even know what you did?! Shouldn't you have the right to know? Oh well, I don't have the time or the energy to focus on something that I'm not sure I did. It's not that I don't care, but if people can't be upfront and honest, then I can't be bothered to take it seriously. At least I apologized not even knowing what I apologized for. (Yep, I can be the bigger person on occasion! I'm not always evil!) Just remember...when I wake up in the morning and my feet hit the ground, the devil cries "oh no...she's up!" Yep, that's me!

Hectic times!

Lately has been a bit of a whirlwind. Not all good, not all bad. We have had to deal with friends almost moving away, Gavin starting school, I started working, the pregnancy, and life in general. Luckily, our friends didn't move. I would miss them terribly. Gavin is at school, and seems to be enjoying it for the most part. I am not liking my job so well. They are so strict (about EVERYTHING), and really don't seem to care about the workers. I get sick a lot at work, and the stress can't be good for me. But it's a job, and that is important to Gav.

The pregnancy is going well. I am now 10 weeks and have another appointment tomorrow. This time Gav is going to go and hopefully they will do another ultrasound so he can hear the heartbeat for the first time. I am excited for him to have that chance. I still get my fair share of morning sickness (all day!) but I am keeping food down a bit better. Well, I guess I should say I am keeping food down if it is the right food! I have never loved cheese pizza and cheese bread so much before in my life!

That's just a bit of an update. I'm sure I'll have more to say later! Love you all!

A Baby's Conversation With God

I recently read this and thought it was so neat that I had to share it!

A Baby's Conversation with God


A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have
to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, You will simply call her, " Mom ."
