Jeremy is home!!

I am so excited that I got to go pick Jeremy up from the airport yesterday. I was sooo ready for him to be home. He was just as excited! Jasper knew his Daddy was home because he put on a show last night and this morning. Jeremy could feel him through my mommy Boppy pillow that I sleep with. He was going everywhere and Jeremy was playing with him. I am sure you are wondering how Jeremy can play with him but Jasper kicks back when you push on him. It is really funny.

Today is our day of rest. Jeremy usually does this the day he after he gets home. I am hoping he will be my pool boy tomorrow!! I need some more sun before summer ends. Next week we will get down to business. I will not start until Monday afternoon because I am going for a day of pampering. I am going to get a pregnancy massage and a facial. I figure it will be the last time for a while that I will get to spend a day on me. I can not wait.

I also have a shower on Sunday. It will be the third one I have. I only have one more after this one.

DONE!!!!!!

I have been a slave in the kitchen today but I have finished cooking. I wanted to go ahead and finish cooking before my feet started hurting too bad. I made lasagna, tex mex lasagna, and sour cream dip casserole. I already had a Sicilian casserole and Mac & cheese. I would like to thank Mellisa for the recipe. I am definitely going to make it just not today because it sounds soooo yummy.

Jeremy is off the rig and will be home tomorrow!!! I am so excited!!

I also called to day and got an appointment with our pediatrician. We will be using the same one that I used growing up. I can not wait to see her next week. I have not been there is 6 or 7 years and I think it is crazy that she is still practicing.

I got some of my books I won on eBay yesterday. I am going to to get one more shipment of Dr. Seuss books (my fav). I still can not believe that I won two with really no battle.

Two down, five to go!

Since I have the nesting bug and have been reading a lot of baby websites that tell you to precook meals, I am on a roll. I would have three but decided to eat one instead of freezing it. It was yummy and I am going to make another to freeze. I feel like I could feed my family for the month. I hope by doing all this I will not be stressed or get hungry after the baby is born.

Some of the recipes I have gotten from other people so I have never tried them but they all sound good and I am not a picky eater. I will let everyone know how they turnout afterward.

This is random and completely off the subject but I am just thinking about it a lot lately since I have been reading about babies in my Babycenter Birth Club that have already been born. Also, a girl I know that is due about 2 weeks before me has posted info about her Dr. appointments. At my next Dr. appointment they will start doing internal checks to see it I am dilated at all. I am interested to see if Jasper is not just measuring on time but ready to come on time. I know that I could be 2 cm and stay that way for a while but I just can not wait to see if there is any changes. I am pretty sure he dropped the other day. I have to pee a lot more and have a little more pressure in my pelvis. According to everything I have read, this is why I think he has dropped and I look like I have a beer belly even more now. Sorry if this is too much info but I guess you get to a point where things just do not bother you anymore.

Last night my mom, Mrs. B and I went to Sips N Strokes. We were the only people there. It was so much fun. I was hoping to put this picture over my bed but I am still deciding. I miss going there. If anyone ever needs a painting partner just call me and I am ready to go anytime!

Dr. Appointment

I went to the doctor today and she said everything looks great! I measured exactly 34 cm, right on time. I am hoping that means that I will not have a huge baby like I was thinking. He has definitely dropped and is in the head down position. I can feel him tugging on my stomach. I want to walk around holding my stomach up because he is so heavy.

Birth Announcements

So I have been looking all around and I can not decide which birth announcements to use. Some of you may know that I have done his room in a western theme and I found a photo card at Walmart that has boots on it but I also really like another one from a different website. If you have time, please leave a comment on which one you like better.

34 weeks today!!

ONLY 6 MORE WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!!!

I have been feeling poopy this week which is what I expected about the third trimester. I just get tired faster now. I cleaned the house last night and I felt like I had run a marathon. I am trying to wait on Jeremy to do a lot of things but there are just some things I just cannot wait to do. My nesting just kicks in and I usually get a huge burst of energy for a short time.

I have gotten a little more things done in Jasper's room. When Jeremy gets back home I will put up some pictures. I need him to do some stuff before I put up pictures.

I am pregnant!!

Well, in case you didn't know I am having a baby I am and now I am really feeling it. I have almost forgotten how terrible the first trimester was because I have felt so good the past couple of months. I am slowly starting to get tired quicker and really feeling like I am pregnant. I feel useless because there are things I wish I could do around the house but I can not do certain things anymore. I am getting frustrated.

I got to go and see baby Sean today. One of the other couples at our church had a baby in June and I got to go over for a little while. Sharon, his mom, is trying to get prepared to go back to work and is having problems finding a bottle he will use. I had two that she had not tried and brought them over to her.

So I can not stay away from Babies R Us. I hate to go into Birmingham and not go by there. I have tried my hardest to stay away since I have been having showers but I could not resist today. I got a few things off of the registry but I remind my mom that there are plenty of other things for people to buy.

Getting things done

I feel as though my whole personality has changed because I have become so much more concerned with things that have never bothered me. I have been bit by the cleaning bug and I have been so much more concerned about the little things. I am sure many will say it is a pregnancy thing but I hope it continues and I am sure Jeremy does too. I am slowly getting things done around the house and when Jeremy is home I work him like a dog to get caught up from when he was at work.

I have finally closed off the baby's room from our cat and she is slowly getting adjusted. I am tired of cleaning up the cat hair from so many rooms. We are also going to get all the carpet and tile cleaned when Jeremy gets home to get the house ready for baby.

Speaking of baby, Jasper is growing like crazy. My stomach is getting bigger week by week. He is keeping me up at night kicking and moving about. I picked up one of the Kahler kids from school today and one of the teachers made me feel so good. She was the first person to tell me that I did not look big. She said she was so big that I do not even compare.

When I get the room back in order I will take pictures and put them up. I am hoping I can do that tomorrow.

The bedding is in!

I finally got my bedding that I ordered at the beginning of July. It was suppossed to be here mid July. As soon as it came in, I washed it and it is now on the bed. It looks so cute! I am glad that everyone will be able to see it when they come to visit!

I also decided to start washing baby clothes. I am in full nesting mode and I am loving it. I still have a lot of things to clean and go through.

32 week dr. appointment

I went to the doctor today. I was excited that I only gained 1/2 a pound in 2 weeks. I guess I am still one of those people who is worrying about weight gain while preggo. Even though I apparently look like I am having twins, I am measuring right on time.

Note to everyone:
If you see a pregnant woman do not ask them if they are having twins or give them the deer in head lights look when they tell you their due date. I promise they want you to keep all negative comments to yourself. I am not gripping (well maybe a little) but I would never think to do or say that but it happens quite often to me.

I guess I have gotten used to the crazy comments and looks so much that now I laugh. It just amazes me how often it happens.


While Jeremy was home we stayed busy the entire time and had amost no down time. We did notget to finish everything on our to do list but we tried. We went to Auburn to see friends, had a great baby shower, and went to the beach. I think I have caught you guys up on all of the events that have occurred over the past couple of weeks.
