26 and 27 weeks ( we have been busy)

I forgot to post week 26 so I will just combine it with week 27! It has been a busy crazy last few weeks with the holiday's! Here is my belly shot at 27 weeks....

Nothing exciting has happened too much the past two weeks with the pregnancy, we are just trucking along and getting closer to seeing you! We are now only about 10-12 weeks away from the big day!

I have actually been feeling pretty good the past 2 weeks too! Still a little tired but I think a lot of that has to do with just not getting the right amount of sleep at night! Its pretty hard to sleep with a big ol belly in the way.

Not only have we been crazy busy with Christmas, we have been busy trying to get the house in order and ready for you. I know, we still have lots of time before your here but I like to get things done early if I can because I know towards the end Im just going to want to relax. So I have been keeping in touch with someone I knew from high school and she was wanting to get rid of some of her little girls stuff, so ofcourse I jumped all over the opportunity! She sold us her stroller and carseat combo, and a whole tub of clothes for $100..not bad at all!! So I picked that stuff up right before Christmas. Then daddy's parents came down for Christmas and brought us the highchair that we used down in Texas, which is pratically new, and the crib they had, which is also pratically new. Then after Christmas daddy and I went and bought your bedding set so I could get your crib all ready for you, it is so pretty!! So needless to say I feel set and so ready for you to be here! You have a closet full of clothes, your room/bed is all ready, and I have a carseat...now all we need is you!!

I guess thats all for now. I will update next week after we see the doctor! I will have an ultrasound done, my glucose test, and my blood drawn to test for anemia...so wish me luck!

Love you,
Mommy

25 weeks down

Well here's to another week closer to you! There has not been anything exciting going on this week...well except a doctor's appointment, but how exciting can that really be! Monday was my 25 weeks appointment and all looked well. My blood pressure was good I believe it was 133/77? Something like that. So far the medicine seems to be doing its job, I just hope it lasts all the way to the end without having to increase the dosage. Then we listened to your heartbeat, which was beating beautifully at 155!!

I did talk to her about being extremely tired and she said it could just be because I also have 2 kids at home which makes be pregnant even harder, but to keep an eye on it. I have to go back in 3 weeks on Jan. 7th to have an ultrasound done to see how well you are doing. We want to make sure you are growing well, especially with the blood pressure and such.

Then I will also have to do my glucose test and have blood drawn to check for anemia...YUCK!!! But anemia could be the reason why im extremely tired so I do want to get that checked. So now im counting down until Jan. when I will get to see you!


We have officially entered the 6th month! Which means you are now the size of...drum roll please...an EGGPLANT!

and boy do I feel like im carrying around an eggplant! Holy belly!! Look how big im getting!


I finally got a picture of your brother Timothy kissing my belly! He really enjoys talking to you and giving you kisses, Mason not so much!!


Well I guess I will stop rambling on for this week! See ya soon baby girl!

Love,
Mommy

24 weeks and counting!

Another week down only 14-16 weeks left(hopefully)! You are definitely becoming more active, I'm pretty sure daddy can feel you from the outside now :) I think you are breech, and I'm pretty sure all the low movement is your little toes! After taking my belly pictures this week and comparing them to last weeks, I can really tell how high you are sitting. With the boys they always sat so low like they would fall out any sec, but not you!



Sleeping is becoming more difficult as the days go on. I just can't seem to get comfortable, and spend most of the night flipping from side to side! I really need one of those body pillows again, I had one with the boys but got rid of it. Plus you seem to be the most active at night when I'm trying to sleep, which I am sure you are just trying to prepare me for all the long nights I have ahead of me when you arrive!

I have been trying to prepare the boys for your arrival, I know Mason doesn't understand anything but I'm pretty sure Timothy understands somewhat. I tell him everyday that he is going to have a little sister soon, and that his baby sister Taylor is in mommy's belly! Sometimes I can get him to talk to you and give you kisses, which I know you love :) Lately though he always talks about babies when he See's them on TV or when we are out, so I asked him if he wanted me to bring him a baby home from the hospital. He always say's to me, in a very serious voice " No, No bring baby home, I don't want you to". HAHA And then if you even talk to him about having a sister he Say's " No, no sister"! He is too funny! I know that once you are hear though both of your brothers are going to want to love on you all the time! You are going to have two of the best and most protective brother's and I can't wait!

We are working on getting the rooms set up and ready for you too. We decided to get the boys bunk beds (I know what was I thinking) in order to make some more room. The boys are going to share one room and then you are going to be in your own room. SO daddy and pa-pa moved the boys dressers into your room with the computer and then I moved all the toys out of your room and into their room. That was a workout all by itself HAHA! So now all we have to do it get their bunk bed set up and then set up your crib. Which thankfully grandma and grandpa are bringing the crib from Texas when they come up for Christmas so we don't have to buy a new one. I am so excited we decided to put the boys together and you in your own room instead of with them, this way I can somewhat decorate your room girly :) Granted you will have the boys dressers and daddy's computer in your room its still your room!

I know that once Christmas passes time is going to fly by and it will be Timothy's birthday and then about a month later you will be here! Not long now baby girl!

I'm waiting patiently, love you!
Mommy
