Pregnant Grandaughters!

I have been waiting to post this....Kim Hood Audi (my cousin) is having a baby too! So...that makes not 1 grandaughter...not 2 grandaughters...but, 3 grandaughters are PREGNANT!!! Me, Jenny, and Kim are all pregnant. I am due August 29th, Jenny on October 1st (pretty sure about this date), and Kim on November 3rd. We are all about a month apart! Christmas at Mamaw and Papaw's house is going to be BUSY! Isn't this exciting!

This is a picture from Vanna and Seth's Engagement party. From Left to Right: Me, Jenny, Deanna, and Kim.

Baby Purchases!

We are trying to get ready for Trigger! I have posted some pictures of a few things that have been purchased.

My parents bought our bedding for us. I LOVE it. The bumper is backordered so I don't have a picture of it. I did take a picture of the quilt, pillow, sheet, and crib skirt.

This is a picture of an outfit that Matt HAD to have...Polo outfit.

This is one of my favorite outfits that I have bought. If you know our family, you know that baseball is something everyone MUST love (or at least tolerate)!!!

My parents came over Thursday night before our family supper to see the bedding and some of the outfits I had bought. They brought over a gift...Trigger's FIRST Astros outfit and an Astros bear. The Hoods (and Woodards) LOVE the Astros!!!

Another two items that are hanging in his closet are some of my jeans from when I was little (which are creek ready...that's what I used them for...crawling in the creek with Will) and my old overalls! Of course these two items will not be used for awhile but they are waiting in the closet.
I am sorry that I still haven't posted pictures from our ultrasound. I really don't know how to work our scanner. I will try to get Matt to work on that this week! I forgot to mention that Matt and I went to the doctor on Thursday afternoon. Dr. Harper gave us a great report. Our Antiphospholipid (Blood clotting disease) Panel came back from our last blood work and it is still positive. That is actually good. I would rather just have the disease than having it come and go. We will visit Dr. Harper again in two weeks AND he has ordered us another ultrasound for two weeks. I do not love having the blood clotting disease (or being high risk) but it sure is nice being monitored so close and having this many ultrasounds.

By the way.... 22 school days left! It is rather bittersweet. I always love the idea of getting out for summer. Then, when it arrives, I am very bored. However, we all NEED a break including the children. We are all tired!

It's been awhile!

Sorry. It has been awhile since my last post! I'm not sure that I can say that I have been busy because I haven't been as busy as I need to be. Matt, on the other hand, has been VERY busy. The life of a CPA is not a glorious one. Last week he worked over 90 hours, but he is back to normal hours. I have had several people ask me what Matt does for the rest of the year. He has PLENTY to do the rest of the year....I don't think I really could explain all the things he does, BUT I do know that he is not playing golf or solitaire EVER! He is a very hard working man and I am proud of him!!!
Well. We had a little scare today. I have been having alot of pelvic pressure lately which I assumed was completely normal. I thought that as the baby gets heavier and things are stretching that I would feel pressure. This morning I began to wonder if it was actually normal so I called Liz. I really thought she would squander any worries that I had. She didn't...she told me to call Susan. I called Susan and she said that she thought everything was fine. She said I should just tell Dr. Harper at my next appt. Throughout the day, the worry grew and I called Mrs. Flo (Dr. Harper's nurse). She said it could be nothing or it could be something....REAL assuring! :) So she had me come in immediately to get checked. After I got off the phone with her, I called Matt. Somehow, in the busy time over the last week, I forgot to mention to Matt that I had been having this mystery "pressure". So he was quite shocked to hear that I was going to the doctor. He met me at Dr. Harper's office.
Dr. Harper gave me a hug as soon as he came in the office. What a caring doctor I have!! He checked me and said everything looked really good. We heard the heartbeat also. All very good signs!! He didn't really tell me what was causing the pressure. Dr. Harper sent us home with the instructions to pay attention to the pressure and come back on Monday if it hasn't gotten any better by then. Our normal appointment is on Thursday. I know I am a nutty patient but I am glad that I have such a great doctor that doesn't treat me like I am crazy!
I guess that is the big update for now. I do have to say that I have been trying to think about the nursery. Matt and I have ordered the furniture. I have ordered the bedding. AND, I have a few ideas for the pictures on the walls. I am not a fan of meaningless art just to fill the walls. I had Corbin (my nephew) paint a car on canvas for me to frame. I am going to have Chelsea (niece) paint a train and Abby (niece) paint a sailboat. I think it will be a priceless collection of art for the walls. I will have to add photos of their work at a later date. I will also have to post some pictures of the outfits that I have bought!!!!
20 weeks!!! We are half way there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
