Monday, Monday!

So I am glad that the weekend is over with! It was very busy! Friday CJ and I went to my ultrasound to see baby JJ! CJ was so excited to see his baby brother. He did very well with it just being him and I at the dr appt. My Husband was flying in from his work trip and didnt make it to the appt on time. The baby was weighting in at like almost 6lbs! I couldnt believe it! OMG he is going to be SOOOO big! I was 34wks on friday and ya not looking forward to seeing how big he is going to be when he is born. I will say that my baby has the cutest chunky cheeks ever! I cant wait to meet him. This mama is tried of holding him in my belly!

Here is my chunky monkey boy! Isnt he adorable?!?! I cant believe how define you can see him in the picture! I already love this boy so much, even though he likes to beat me up! Hes my little boy and CJ loves him too. I can tell that CJ is going to be a great big brother!

After the appointment we waited for my hubs to get home before we headed out to NC for CJs 3rd bday party. We had his party at Chick-fil-a with his friends on Saturday. It was fun I must say! He got spoiled and NO I dont have any pictures with me. They are on my mother in laws camera and I am going to have to wait to see the pictures. I was happy when the party was over. Boy oh boy did those boys wear me out even though all I did was sit there LOL. We left Saturday after the party back to VA because my in laws needed to come out here and needed a place so we came back! Chuck and I started moving the baby stuff into CJs room and we got a few things done.

Sunday we got the crib set up and I got to wash the little baby clothes! I cant believe how many clothes CJ had! Its a crap ton! So the clothes are washed I just need to fold them about put them away. I cant wait for my monkey boy to get here! He is killing me!

Today we had CJs 3yr wellness check up. He did really well. We are getting him reevaluated for speech to see where he is at. I hope he doesnt have to take it but if he does he does. I did some cleaning nothing to big, lol. Then I sat down and crocheted some. I also got some sewing done! As a matter of fact I need to finish up what I started with my sewing! So I will end this and hope you all had a great weekend!

Emotional Overload

I don't know what it is about today but my emotions are just a huge roller coaster. I woke up just fine and dandy this morning. We went to Wal-Mart and got a couple things for dinner and on the way home I was just irritable! I don't know why I was irritable but I just was. When we got home I was still in the mood and then it changed to me wanting to ball my eye out. I am all over the place today and I hate it. I cant control it at all.
So I jumped in the shower to try and cool off a bit and think, get a clear head as to why I like this. I think my consensus is because 1. I am 32wks pregnant to my hormones are all over the place; 2. my 3yr old is mommy whats this whats that?; and 3. I am not near my family and friends. Yes I am a military wife and I should be use to being away from my family. I have been a military spouse since I was 19yrs old and left home when I was 21yrs old. So I haven't been around my family in years. I have my in laws that are three hours away from us but its just NOT the same. I want MY family that close to us. The closest that I have been to my family since I moved out of state in 2005 was TX. TX was still a long ways away from them all the way in WA but it was the closest. I miss them and its going to be another nephew/grandson that they are not going to be around to watch grow up.
I just think everything is just hitting me all at once today. Im due at the middle to end of next month and I just feel everything piling up and so forth. I know that if I was back home in WA my family would be there all the time to help me with whatever. Yes this life was chosen for me, to be a military wife, I wouldn't have it any other way, but you would think it would get easier, right? Ya not so much, you still miss your family. My mom will be coming out when the baby is due and will be here for a week. If it was up to me I'd have her stay for a MONTH! Of course she cant because she has to go to work and has my sisters back home as well to take care of.
Just thought I'd get this off of my chest since its just putting a HUGE damper on my day. Oh ya and I also miss my friends out in TX to so very much. I know that they would be there for me if I was still there. They do try their best to be through the Internet but its not the same as being around them and calling them to tell them to come hang out with me and CJ. I guess I am more of the poor little Ole me stage right now, lol.
Oh ya here is my 32wk picture that I promised.

Me and my Tardiness

Yup I know I am BAD at this blogging. To much going on or I get so side tracked it unbelievable lol. Tisk, tisk to me, lol. Let me get all caught up. Of course its going to be ANOTHER long post. Sorry to my few readers that these are so long. So here goes the catch up. Ill try not to make it super long but ya we know how that goes! LOL.

July 20th I had my ultrasound to check up on the baby. He is doing well. Weighting in at 3lbs 14oz! Big boy for him only being 30wks lol. The bowel area is no longer a concern for the doctors now, BUT they see another concern. If its not one thing then its another, right? The Dr said that he had to much fluid in his kidneys for his gestational age. So we go back on the 20th of August to see if the fluid has gotten worse or stayed the same. I am not to sure what will happen if its more. I guess they said that we will have to take him to the urologist to get him checked when he is born if the situation doesn't fix itself. We shall see.

And there I am at 30wks along. I cant wait for this pregnancy to be over. I am tired of being tired and not having energy to not do anything.

My husband was in Vegas from the 23rd Jul- 2Aug so CJ and I went to my mother in laws on the 22nd to spend the week with her. She had so much planned that by the time we left I was SOOOO ready to be back home to rest. We went to Kinston, NC to the planetarium and science museum which was awesome and it was FREE so it was even better. CJ had fun and we went with my mother in law friend and her two grand babies. They all had a blast there. The saw some animals and learn some things.

And there are some pictures from the adventure that we had at Kinston. It was fun and hot but they enjoyed themselves and where so tired by the time we left. They say a rattle snake, chinchilla, fox, breaded dragon lizard or something like that, tarantula and so water animals.

We did a ton of things and of course I was lazy and didn't take many pictures lol. My mother in law had a baby shower for me and that was so much fun! There were pictures taken but I don't have them, lol. I left my camera at the house and I forgot to bring my external hard drive to save the pictures that my mother in law took. I am sure I will get the pictures when I go back there. We got a ton of cute things for baby JJ and I am so thankful for the baby shower they held for me which they didn't need to do at all. It was a great time!

I had my appt with my ob on the 30th of July and found out that when I go in on the 27th of August that we will schedule the date of my C-section. I am very excited about that and scared at the same time. CJ got to hear his baby bothers heart beat and he things that is just so cool. He also named his baby in his belly. His baby name is Thomas, lol, crazy kid! I hope time flies, it seems to be because I feel so overwhelmed.

We found out that our renters want to purchase our house so we are going through that process and hopefully we can get that situation out of our hands because that would just be SOOO very awesome! My mom had her surgery and she is doing well with her recovery process, thank the lord. Everything seems to be going good and smoothly.

CJ turns 3 on the 21st and I cant believe it. He is growing up way to fast! We are having him to parties, blah. One over in NC with his grandparents and one here with his new friends! He loves hanging out with his new friends. Oh ya found out that Chuck is going to be leaving for ANOTHER conference here in the VERY near future and I am so not happy about it. He JUST got back from being away in Vegas. I guess Id be able to handle it better if I wasn't so darn hormonal.

CJ was so happy to see his dad when he got home and he hasn't left his side which is GOOD for ME, lol. I need the break lol. CJ takes so much energy away from me, lol. He seems to be having a GOOD break through with his potty training I hope he keeps it up. So far we have had TWO days of NO accidents at all. We are now on day three and I hope today is good for him and us. I really want to take him to get a big prize for doing so well with his potty training!

Well I will end this boring long blog, lol. Ill come back and update with my 32wk belly picture that I haven't taken yet. I hope your week is going well!

Its Been a while

So its been awhile since the last time I updated my blog. Time sure does fly by quickly! I am currently 29 weeks well more like towards the end of 29 weeks. Jamison is moving around more and more now-a-days which is pretty neat and kind of annoying all at the same time, lol.

CJ is still working on his potty training. I am not to sure how to get him to understand that he only gets a reward if he doesnt potty in his pull-up. He is just not understanding that to well. Other then that he is doing good he has his terrible 3 moments and I hope it doesnt get bad. Some days he is the sweetest little thing ever and other times you just dont want to deal with him lol. I will say though that he loves his both sets his grandparents, his cousins, uncles and aunts. He is ALWAYS talking about them. He even wakes up in the morning tell me that his gramma is at work lol. Oh ya and he also tells me that baby JJ is in the car as well lol.

Well lets see I did my gluclose test and I guess I did well because I havent gotten a call from them. At that time when i went in for my appointment I only gained 1.5lbs which was awesome. I am sure that I weight more but that comes with brewing a little monster in my belly, right? LOL. We all cant be skinny during the whole 9 months of pregnancy lol boy do we wish we could be at times lol. We have an appointment next week to check up on Jamison to make sure nothing shows up again. I cant wait to see my little bugger and see how big hes getting. The Dr and the nurse are just going to have to deal with CJ being in there with us. Not our fault that their drop in child care is full on that day in CJs age group. Itll give CJ a chance to see his baby brother.

Ah we have become after on a group on Cafemom and we have gone to the two playdates that they have had. Its a great group of ladies and I am pretty happy about it. CJ loves to play with the kids and us moms have great conversation which is a plus! CJ gets excited when we go to the play dates he thinks we are going to a play kids which is where his grandma takes him out in NC. He does really well when its time to leave. I dont have to deal with him crying and screaming he gets in his play time and is good to go! I wish our place was bigger because I would love to have them all over so we could just chill out relax, chat and let the kids play! This is kind of the time where I miss having my huge house!

Here are pictures of me at the different stages of the pregnancy. Yes I am getting bigger and I can see it!

26/27 weeks

28 weeks.

I will do my best to keep this more update. I have just been relaxing and chilling out. I have also been crocheting my little heart out! I am hoping to get my shop up and going here in the next few days! I need to get motivated!! Thanks for stopping by and keeping up to date!

24wk Update

Well Friday we went to our fetal echogenic appointment to make sure nothing was wrong with baby Jamison. It was a long week waiting for Friday to come. My appointment was at 8:15am and I had to get up super early to make sure I had enough time to get through the tunnel, find a parking spot, and get to my appointment. We got to see out little Jamison in the ultrasound. He is soo cute all squished in my belly lol. The Dr. said that he didnt see anything that would be of concern. So as for right now we know that he doesnt have Downs Syndrome or anything else that is associated with bright whites spots in the bowel. We are going back in 6wks to make sure that he is doing well. He is growing well and he weights about 1lb and some change, he is in the 50% for his growth and weight which is good. He has a strong heart beat and was just chilling in my belly. He is such a cutie pie. He is so far very calm and doesnt move to much. I think he knows what kind of crazy family he is coming into. He was however moving a bit more this last few weeks when his big brother was away at his grandparents. it was nice and quiet.

Well here I am at 24wks, not that much of a difference with growth really lol. I really wont blow up til towards the end of the pregnancy. So far this pregnancy is going the same as CJs with the weight gain and showing. I did however start showing a little bit earlier with this one then I did with CJ but I think its because its my second pregnancy. I'm not complaining atleast I look pregnant and not fat like I was about a month ago, lol.

Not much has been going on of course. CJ came home lastnight from his grandparents but we will be heading back there tomorrow for the week. Hubby will be out doing work crap and I dont wanna be here by myself. CJ just talks and talk and talks, OMG its like Child do you ever hush up? LOL he doesnt, he only stops when he is sleeping and thats IF he isnt talking in his sleep, lol.

I joined a new group on Cafemom to meet moms and other kids for CJ and I. I really do hope to make friends out here. I am soo tired of not knowing anyone and not having friends. Its driving me bonkers. I swear I must sound desperate to some of these moms lol. I miss my friends back in TX. I just hope I can make some really good friends out here. I am keeping my fingers crossed, lol.

Well I am down blogging, I have nothing left to update. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Update, Update, Update

So I said that I would come back and update my blog. Well here I am!! LOL. Lets see what has happened? Hmmm...a ton has gone on. Well we will start from Monday May 17th lol. Well we found out what we are having and guess what it is......? A boy lol of course you all know by now lol. It took a long time to figure out his name but I think we decided on Jamison Jackson. My husband and I really like both of those names.

CJ and I headed out to WA on the 18th of May but on the 17th I got a call from my OB telling me that they were concerned about something they saw on the ultrasound pictures. They found bright white spots in the baby's bowel area and that is generally associated with Cystic Fibrosis and Down syndrome. Well my test for Cystic Fibrosis came back negative and I didnt take the triquad screening so I think that is why they need to me to get a consultation with the Fetal Echogenic Medicine people. I freaked out a bit and then I googled what else can cause it. Found out that the baby could of ingested aminotic fluid that had blood in it and I hope and pray that that is the case. We have an appt on June 11th to see what is going on with the baby and what not. So please still keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

So CJ and I headed out to WA and we had a blast out there. He played and played with his cousins and just enjoyed himself to the fullest. He didnt want to leave at all to be honest. When we were flying back home he kept saying he wanted to go back into his grandmas car and to her house. He didnt understand that we live far away so we could only stay for a little bit. I think he kind of got the idea when he saw his daddy at the airport. He was so excited to see him and told him about everything that he could think of. The weather out there of course SUCKED like always lol. I always seem to go on the weeks its raining lol. Its all good we still had a blast!

Me and my older sister

Me and my Mom

CJ and his Cousin

So once we got back we had to adjust to the 3hr time change and OMG that sucked so bad!! It took me about a day and a half to feel recovered lol. I had my 22wk check up the day after we got in. I was SOOOO tired to say the least. I FINALLY gained some weight and of course I dont like the weight number but I know that its good for the baby and I need it lol. The baby's heartbeat is a strong 151 which is great. I really didnt have any questions for the midwife so the appointment was in and out. The next time I go in to see them I have my Glucose test, gross and super yuck!! LOL. But the baby sound great and right now I swear he is kicking my in my rear lol and its so not cool.

So Thursdays was my husband soft ball game and so we went but CJ passed out on the way and I wanted to still see him play but let our son nap so we parked close to the field. WELL ya it was a bad day. The softball hit our window and shattered it. It wasnt even hit by the bat!! They were practicing pop flies....come on near cars are you that dumb?!?!?! Apparently they were that day! The guys that hit the window felt horrible about it. But hey it happens right? LOL. So it is now wednesday and the windshield people are SUPPOSE to be here today to fix it. So far NOTHING!! Blah!! I hate not having a car.

So this past weekend was Memorial Day weekend! I hope you all had a blast! I know I did I am super exhausted from the weekend! Saturday we went out to Richmond, VA and went to the outlet!! CJ got his first real pair of Crocs!! He loves them I couldnt pass up crocs for $9.99 lol. I also got my FIRST pair of Oakley Sunglasses!! I love the so much they are super CUTE!!! See them ~~~>> they are pink on the inside they are Breast Cancer awareness glasses so I couldnt pass them up!! So after shopping and traveling we checked into our Hotel and slept. Sunday we got up early to Meet up with the In-laws, ate some Bob Evans, super yummy food and then headed out to Kings Diminion for the day!! We had so much fun. My husband and his dad went on a ton of rides and CJ and his grandma went on a ton too. He had sooo much fun!! It was SUPER hot!! I started to get cranky cause I was hot and tired! But I got in some AC cooled off and relaxed and was much better! My baby was TIRED he like napped for two hours!! Then when he got up he was ready to go again!! Here are some pictures from Kings... took to many of course lol. CJ had a blast and so did my husband. My in laws took CJ home with them. The drive back home was very LONG and boring and tiring!! Monday we had some friends over for a cook out and that was so much fun.

Now today its just me by myself its weird not having my little bugger with me lol. I dont know what to do with myself to say the least, lol. I am relaxing and sleeping in. I called to see how CJ was and he is doing great!! Well I will end this very LONG blog entering. thanks for staying this long to read it. Happy June!!
