37weeks ( 3 weeks to go) The week of Thanksgiving!!

The time is so near yet so FAR....To me anyway.  Tuesday was an exciting day,  I had my ultrasound done we got to see our little man be uncooperative as usual but he is healthy and growing very big after the technician  checked everything she did measuring, His limbs and head are about a week bigger but his stomach is at 40 weeks she tried a few more times to see if it was an error and it kept getting bigger and bigger lol it went from 39weeks and some days, to 40weeks and some days. YIKES!!!

After our wonderful visit with our boy I had some time to kill so kev and I went thanksgiving shopping and dropped it off to my mom since thats where thanksgiving was going to be this year.  I got on that turkey cleaned him up and soaked him down. Once all that was done it was time to end to my weekly OB appointment. The new routine when I go for my appointments is I have to be hooked up to the NST for about 30 mins which monitors the baby's movement and for contractions.  This time I think things went better our little guy didn't move as much as they wanted him to move but he moved more then he did the first time.

Overall doctor was satisfied, he checked for any change nothing yet I wasn't mad because I wanted to enjoy thanksgiving without any worry and I did. Thanksgiving was great of course there was some drama but nothing worth me talking about what matter was my family was there and we had a great time. My Mom, sister, oldest daughter and I came together and cooked a wonderful meal. It was great to watch my daughter help with cutting up the greens or whatever task was given she's  awesome and  growing so much If I keep thinking and typing about it Im gonna start tearing up. Of course my two year old did her job in getting into everything, being in the way and getting kicked out the kitchen but that didn't stop her from coming back every time trying to steal cheese or whatever she could get her hands on.

I was hoping to eat a lot more then I did but its something about when your the cook, once the food is done your not as hungry as those who were waiting, I did eat everything on my plate.  Im sure I will  make up for it in the next few days with leftovers.

I am thankful for life And so happy that I didn't let trails, tribulations, or people bring me down through out life I am still me and that will never change. I couldn't imagine living life being bitter,mean, and unhappy I've seen people like that and it doesn't look enjoyable.  I definitely thank my heavenly father for keeping me without him I don't even wanna know what my life would look like so I am very thankful.

36 weeks (4 weeks left)

WHAT A DAY!! * sighs* Lets start with my eye doctor appointment, I decided I wanted to get contacts for the big day I usually have glasses on and between them getting foggy or in the way I decided I didn't want to have them on.  Well, after getting the eye exam the doctor felt it wasn't a good idea to get the contacts due to a problem in my left eye, I was so disappointed and refused to accept that so I asked for my prescription and was gonna call 1-800-contacts to get what I wanted.  My dear husband didn't think that was a good idea and didn't want to me damage my eyes like the doctor said could happen.... So unfortunately I listened to my hubby and just picked out new glasses still not happy but what I can I do.


After I finished whining and pouting I went home to finish packing not my baby bag (which I need to do as well) but packing up our belongings WE ARE MOVING, I am so excited it's a bigger place since of course we need more space, we signed our lease today and retrieved our keys so for the next two weeks packing.. packing.. packing..  I will include packing mines and baby's bag as well into all that packing.


After some packing it was time to get ready for my doctors appointment.  Surprisingly the doctor was already there when we got there and we didn't have to wait long.  Since I am 36 weeks now the doctor will monitor the babies for movement, contractions and heart rate ( this is where the story gets interesting) I get hooked up to the monitor his heart rate is nice and strong after 30 minutes the medical assistant came in and says they need to get the baby to  wake up and move she shook my belly, rub it, gave me a chocolate almond bar asked if I ate? which I did I made sure I made a stop before going in to the doctors office all these things and he still would not wake up after an hour of nothing the doctor insisted I go eat a full meal...again or of to the hospital he was sending me.  #aintnobodygottimefadat



I went to my newly found favorite caribbean restaurant and ordered some yummy peas and rice with stew chicken cabbage the works.. I thought I wasn't hungry but boy I tore that food up washed it down with a pineapple Jamaican soda and was ready to go back to the doctor, got hooked back up to the monitor. this little boy is stubborn but eventually he started slowly moving around then bouncing around and the monitor was finally picking up his movement and all was good.  Once that was over I got some blood drawn and a culture was done after 4 hours we were done. OH the doctor talked about his size and how every time he measures my stomach its bigger and bigger I already know he's gonna be a big boy as long as I can push him out I am ok with that.  He checked me (how joyful NOT!) His head is still high he hasn't even dropped yet, so no thanksgiving baby. I also gained 2 pounds yay!! Now my appointment are every week :-)

I was wasn't worried or panicked as long as I heard that heartbeat I knew he was fine plus Im use to my little guy he's not much of a mover he sleeps mosts of the time and is up...well whenever he wants to be up lol.  I let leah start talking to him that usually gets him moving or  I poke at him he definitely doesn't like that.  At 36 weeks Im so uncomfortable Im always in the bathroom and sleep?? psssh what is that I dont even know anymore but I am excited and I cant wait to see his beautiful face he is so worth it.  Once we are moved and everything is put up and together I will post pictures.

36weeks with 4 weeks/28 days left.. Goodnight and God bless

34 weeks (6 weeks to go)

Ok so I lied its been more than 2 weeks since I last posted anything, I cant believe that much time has passed I would say im gonna do tomorrow and keep putting it off for the next day and here we are 4 weeks later wowzers!!.  In all fairness (to me) I didn't have time not because I was busy doing a nursery or anything but my days would just go by I wake up with my little one we eat breakfast, we watch cartoons.  At 10am we watch wendy "How you doin?"11am the view, noon the news then lunch time after lunch I might take a nap with leah but I don't like taking naps because I always wake up feeling nauseous and just blah.

Lately I've been doing more getting rid of clothes and junk we have around the house making space for  our little guy. It was a slow process I would start and get tired and not get back to it until the next day or 2.  Kevin has been a great help on his day off we get a lot done he's all about business, Thank god he is about business if it was up to me it wouldn't get done. Im just tired and huge.  It's overwhelming having so much to do but no energy to do it

  I finally got around to doing the baby shopping before we went shopping I was trying to make a list of everything he needs and I would go blank I couldn't remember what babies needed lol,  On one of my baby emails I get suggested I get all things the baby would need for the first 6 weeks that really helped me as I made my list.  It didn't help me with over buying though everything in there was so cute and I wanted it all. I went a little crazy in their but stayed on what he needed. There's a few things I have to get but for the most part we are set, just have to wash the clothes and put them away.

I always had an image of how I would dress my little boy and it's the way I want to see him dress as a grown man clean cut, well put together, just SHARP.  He has a great role model to look up to his daddy so hopefully he will follow in his daddy's steps and be sharp.  I cant wait to see him in his church suits and cardigans. Im gonna love dressing him like a little man.

With 6 weeks left I am getting so excited and impatient I want him here in my arms.  When I watch baby stories leah always asks when is her baby brother gonna be here and I tell her soon wishing I could say tomorrow!!.  Yesterday we went for my doctor's appointment all is good my sugar test came back negative yay!! for that, however my iron is a little low so now I have to take 2 iron pills a day instead of one.

unfortunately I didn't remember to take pics of the outfits until we were almost done :-( but here are two  of them. soon I will 

Other then that all was great he listened to his heart beat it was strong and going, The doctor wants me to get another ultrasound in 3 weeks  to see how much bigger he is now the last ultrasound he was 3lbs 12ozs which puts him in the 75 percentile.  AS long as I can push him out im good Im not even thinking about the other options I have tunnel vision to anything else.

6 weeks 41 more days until our prince is here. Keep us in your prayers.
