It has been a while since I wrote anything at all...I really haven't had much time. Thanksgiving is coming up, and then the Saturday after that is Gracie's 3rd Birthday party, and I am trying to get things lined up for that. So far, I have no cake, no pizzas ordered and no gift, and I good or what?? Her party is Tinkerbell, and she wanted cake and pizza, so that's what it is going to be. Besides after all that turkey, we'll want something different. She seems pretty excited about it, I just hope people show up, so far, only a handful of people have RSVP'd...I wish people would get a clue that sometimes it is nice of them to RSVP. It helps to know what to plan for. Obviously not everyone agrees with me. My family is not the best at responding to anything, unless you are giving out money.

Chandler got ihs school physical yesterday, which was a joke. All that time and effort just to pretty much weight him and measure him, and ask how he had been...duh. He see's anough doctors in his life to not need a physical. That's just my opinion, though.

I've been doing good. Still sick on occasion, but I'm happy for the most part. I've come to the conclusion that this may stick with me for the whole pregnancy this time, and I am okay with it. Nothing I can do about it other than deal with it. I feel like I do nothing but eat all the time, I stay hungry all the time. And the witgh is packing on, but like I have said all along, this is the last pregnancy so I am taking advantage of gaining the weight, and look forward to having a baby in March and then working the weight off. I'm jujst glad that I am pregnant during two of the biggest holidays around...so I can eat all I want and then some and no one can say a damn thing to me about it!! We finally picked out the bedding for the crib, it's at baby depot, so I am anxious to go and pick that up. I have also bought a few things for the baby, a sleeper, and Daniel picked out some hats (we are both big into hats on babies) and I got the most beautiful diaper bag! We have picked out the swing and car seat but have not bought it yet...don't ask me what we are waiting on. We may just wait until after Christmas to buy the stuff so it doesn't take up too much space during the holidays. And I can't really put the crib togethre for a while, for fear that Gracie will want to revert back to her baby days and want to sleep in the crib. She hasn't been in her big girl bed long enough to chance that! We still have to find a car seat and possibly stroller, but I am in no hurry to spend all that money.

Well, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving planned. I love this holiday, but for some reason, it seems to be the forgotten holiday anymore. Everyone is so tied up in Halloween then Christmas, we almost forget that this is celebrating the founding of our country...how important is that?? To me it is the greatest.

Have a wonderful holiday!

Am I Crazy?

Maybe I am.... see, ever since we had the ultra sound, I just am not convinced...I know that sounds weird, but I just knew in my head that this baby was a boy. And then with the ultra sound saying it's a girl, I still cannot for the life of me convince myself that it's a girl. With Chandler, we saw his "parts" and with Gracie, we saw her "parts" very distinguished "parts". But with this one, we never got to see that. The baby was breech, which put her pelvis way down low, and she could never get a clear view of things, she said she just saw signs of it being a girl and n osigns of it being a boy...so am I crazy?? Am I just thinking this stuff up because I have nothing better to do? My husband thinks I need a hobby... lol. So I may try to bribe my doctor into giving us another ultrasound later on to see what he thinks. I can always use my sons history to get one, I just don't like to use that. What do you think?

Daniel left today for a week, he went to Tennessee to test for his A&P license (an aircraft mechanic license). I haven't cried so hard in a long time. I am the first to admit that I am a big baby when it comes to being home alone. I hate it, I never have gotten used to it. and now I have a whole week ALONE. A whole week of being a single parent, trying to keep my hair from turning grey and keep my sanity while keeping my kids from killing each other. We'll see if it's possible. He left at 10 am, and it's only 2 pm, and I want him HOME ALREADY. It's times like these that really show me how much I love him with all my heart. He really is my rock, even if I don't always show it to him. I think he is worried about the pregnancy while he is gone. he kept rubbing my belly saying "you sit tight, but grow, okay"?

So this week could mean one of two things, I blog a lot, out of pure boredom, or I blog none, because I have hibernated while he is gone. I do want to get some serious cleaning done while he is gone. Of course the cleaning that I want to do is stuff that he wont even notice. I like to clean out the closets and he surely wont notice that. But it will be one less thing that I have to do when I get into the nesting stage. That is such a horrible stage for me, I sometimes stay awake all night gong from one thing to the next cleaning and re-cleaning. Daniel says he loves it, because the house is always sparkly when I am done. I just wish I could hit that stage before the holidays, but no chance of that, huh? I just really love for my house to be spotless for the hoildays.

Well, I am going now. I am babysitting today (my neice) and it is not as easy as I thought it would be. I can't get anyone to take a nap, and I am dying for one!! Can't kids just understand that one day, they will be begging for naps??

My appointment

I guess I will update everyone on my appointment. As you already know, we are having a girl. We are so excited!! She was an active little thing, too. She looks good so far, measuring a little small, only at 10 ounces, but I'm sure she will pack on the pounds in the coming months. I have gained 8 pounds in the last month, and everything is measuring good. The doctor said I am carrying high, which sucks for me since I am already so short waisted...my ribs already ache. Oh, and as of right now, she is breech.... Her heart rate is 146, she sounded like a hourse in there! I haven't seen Daniel so happy in a long time, and I was glad we were able to experience it together. We know this will be the last time we get to experience this, and we are making the most of it. So now we are playing the name game and trying to agree on a name. So far, it isn't working. Daniel is into off the wall names, and I like more normal names. I've also been looking at bedding for the crib, which isn't as easy as I had hoped. Since the girls will be sharing a room, I am trying to find bedding in lilac and yellow, to match the paint, and it isn't easy. But I am being patient and waiting on the perfect bedding to jump out at me.

Everything else is going well, still nauseas as hell, but dealing with it. My appetite is healthy that is for sure! I feel like I stay hungry, but when I eat a meal, I am so stuffed I am miserable. So I'm trying to keep it small. Haha..... Gracie loved the ultrasound pictures. One is of the baby waving and two of her profile and one of her face, which seemed to freak Gracie out. She looks at it and calls the baby a monkey. But the profile picture is so cute!

I hope everyone is doing well. I miss seeing you all on PW. It seems like such a slow board. Then on the other hand, the March board is hopping! It seems a little too busy to even know what is going on....so I mostly just lurk. Take care everyone!

My ultra sound today

Daniel and I would like to announce that we will be having a baby girl in March. We could not be happier!
