Some baby ramblings...

First off, July 9th is way too far away.

I'm not sure if I want to cloth diaper this time around. :( My washer doesn't wash cloth worth a bean, I hate my front loader. I should just sell the cloth I have now.

July 9th is too far away!!!!

I almost bought our birth pool this morning, just the same one I used with Dylan. But I'm not sure if I was to try to get something bigger.

I bought the paint for the girls room on Sunday and I should get in there and start taping things.

Ultrasound Yesterday

So far, so good! Baby was so cute, s/he had the hiccups and trying to suck it's thumb and bouncing all around. Here are the pictures I got.

Lots of stuff going on!

Saturday Jesse bought a 2007 Honda Accord which we pick up tonight! YAHOO!!

Kailey, Ashlyn, and I rushed to the highschool for their recital. I was helping in the "littles" room which is where the girls were. They had so much fun and love going on stage! Then Mikey picked them up and took them home because I didn't know they could dance the next show at 7pm. I stayed to work in the "littles" room. After the show I got to see Robin, Howard, Danelle, Scott, Aunt Joan, and Scott's parents. Danelle and I will be working the "littles" room together on Saturday!! We're so excited, we haven't really seen each other in a few months. The girls are dancing Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It's going to be NUTS!

Thursday morning I have an ultrasound for the quad and integrated screening. I can't wait to see this peanut again!

We have movement!

I felt the baby moving twice today!

11 week midwife appointment

I had my first midwife appointment today. Everything is perfect and my new due date is 12/4. :D

Changing things around!

Friday I went to Lowes and got the girls border for their new room. It's princess with pinks and purples, so I'll be repainting the red that's in there purple. Then yesterday I bought the girls sheet sets, Kailey's is pink and Ashlyn's is purple. Once we get the painting done, we'll be getting them bunk beds.

Ayden is going to use Kailey's loft in his new room. I should repaint the room, it's yellow. I also have to get him a smaller book shelf for all his books.

In Dylan's room, I need to take down the girlie wall paper and hang some stuff that's still in his old room.

10 Weeks

I found the baby's heartbeat on the doppler on Thursday and last night the kids were able to hear it. Ayden's face just lite right up when he heard it. It's was way too cute. My energy is starting to come back which is great since my house is no longer being completely neglected. lol

Today is Ashlyn pre-dance recital at the studio and she's so excited. I need to curl her hair up and get in the shower.

Perfect Appointment!

Did the pee in a cup, blood work, pap, and I heard the baby's heartbeat!! An awesome 177 bpm! :D My big ultrasound is scheduled for July 9th at 9am!

OB Appt in the morning

I hope to see my baby bean again! I can't seem to find it's heartbeat on the doppler yet - probably just early, but I want to hear it!

I forgot to mention...

Dylan self-weaned two weeks ago. I'm a little sad, but it will be nice to have a little break before the newborn marathon nursing starts. lol I can't believe we almost went 19 months! Amazing!

The Swine Flu

It's officially in our neck of the woods. IKEA even has their child care area closed. Two high schools are closed today, one in Plymouth and one in Utica for probable cases. Though I'm not worried as of yet since it is a flu and our health care system is much better than Mexico, but I have no interest in getting the flu. The true worry will come in the fall if this strain becomes mutated. I've only has the regular flu once in my life, actually, we all had it in December 07 so we have some immunity to the regular strain. But Dylan didn't get the flu with us, so here's to hoping my breast milk gave him lots of antibodies. Our Disney vacation is still on but if we'll be going depends on the spread of this flu. Luckily I accidentally left the vacation insurance clicked so we have that in case we have to cancel after our final payment is made.

Wanna Guess?

After a rocky Thursday and Friday

Saturday and Sunday were awesome! I got the house cleaned on Saturday and Jesse and Tim moved the 4 yards of dirt and laid the seed. We made my garden today and planted garlic, rubarb, tomatoes, and carrots. I also started picking weeds in my front flower bed although I want to put sand stone in rather than dirt. Very productive weekend - finally! I've been so sick and run down.
