BBH Update

Hopefully this will be the last "Update" before I get to post pictures of my precious baby boy. I went to the Dr. today and I am dilated to 4, fully thinned out with a bulging bag of water. She was ready to send me on over to the hospital, but I want to just wait and go into labor naturally. I am nervous, excited, anxious, sad, happy,......AAHH!!
Say a prayer!!
Here we are at the last Dr.'s visit.

Panic

I got on tonight to write about how 1 week ago I went to the Dr. and she told me I would not make it through the week, but alas...baby boy is still in the big ole belly.
However, I got a little distracted when I looked down as I was typing to see this!!!


My diamond...my perfect, flawless diamond (to me) was GONE!!! I screamed at the top of my lungs and Michael was at the top of the steps in no time. That in itself is a miracle, as he usually just thinks I am being a drama queen about something so he usually doesn't move too fast! He said he thought my water had broken. Anyway, he looks at my ring and notices that 2, count them 2 prongs were completely broken. Just 2 weeks ago, Michael noticed that I had broken a prong and we took it in to be fixed. They rebuilt all 4 prongs. Now I am scared! I am crying hysterically that I can't even see to look. I have been everywhere today and just in the last 30 minutes had been in the deep freezer, to the bathroom, in every room in the house, plus I had been walking around outside on the deck. Well, thank goodness the Good Lord gave one of us a decent set of eyes, because my amazing husband spotted my diamond on the kitchen floor right in front the sink. I still CANNOT believe we found it. I just new it was gone. Michael was so sweet in telling me that it was ok and that is was just a stone, but I knew inside he was thinking about just how much that "stone" cost. I mean, we already lost money in the stock market today, why not more?!!? (kidding)
I know it really is just a stone and there are so many more important things in life, but I am still super happy that my ring is back safe and sound with me!

Shoooshhh...

I told you she loves shoes!

Tori Spelling?!?! Seriously?

There is nothing worse than being told that you look like someone you just don't think is very attractive. Just yesterday and today I was told that I look like TORI SPELLING and that they had to do a double take!! I am hoping that it is just the pregnancy and the fact that I have had to wear my glasses the past few days due to this stupid eye infection. I have never been a big Tori fan, but the fact that she left her husband for Dean and he left his wife, 10 year old son, and adopted 3 year daughter for her doesn't help. I know, I shouldn't judge, but it does turn me off even more and I think that is why I don't find her very attractive. I have been guilty of watching her show though and I told Michael to shoot me if I ever waddled around like she does while pregnant. Well, I am eating those words now because I feel like I have technically "waddled" this week. I am hoping that the people that told me that think she is beautiful! :) But please, even if you really really think I do, don't tell me I look like Tori Spelling. I liked the days where I was called Britney a lot better (in her sweet and innocent time of course.)
Oh, and also for the record.... one more time. I am just having ONE! Not twins, or even triplets. Please people..I am not that big!

Ok, there is your crazy hormonal pregnancy rant for the week! :)

Hair Bow Mafia

Ok, Big Nanny! If you read this, I am trying. I finally decided that Lila may possibly have enough hair to clip a bow in without the handband or glue! What do you think? At first she hated it and would automatically reach up and rip it out of her head. Then I learned I have one shot at putting it in. I put it in really fast and then I have to distract her with something else. After putting it in this morning, I took it out during nap time. When I went in to get her up she was patting her head and saying No. She saw the bow in the floor and was pointing to it. I decided to try to put it back on and Wahlah! She was happy! Who would've thunk it?!?!




Lila Loves jumping on the trampoline. I can barely keep up with her! Check out the static hair. This actually makes me happy because she now has enough to stick up all around!

BBH UPDATE

Well, I am dilated to 3 cm and 80% effaced. My Dr. doesn't think I will make it through the week because my cervix is so thin! I have been an emotional basket case all day today. Most women would be excited about this and totally ready for the baby to be here. Not me. I still don't feel ready. I think it is just now hitting me that I am about to have another baby. Michael asked me if looking down at my belly everyday for the past 38 weeks didn't clue me in on that! :)
Say a little prayer for us please!
The good news is, this labor should hopefully be a fast one, unlike Lila's.

Throwin' a FIT!

Well, I think we had our first official "screamin, cryin', mommy and daddy won't let me buy a toy" fit today. I have been thinking that I wanted to get Lila a baby doll carrier for her baby when BBH is born. That way she can carry her baby while I am carrying him. I wanted to see if she would actually be interested in it first. We were at the dreaded Wal-mart so I thought I would swing by and see if they had one. They did, but not the exact one I want to get. (It is at ToysRUS.) We got it off the shelf and put a baby doll in it. Boy did she take off. She LOVED that thing! She loved it so much that she did not want to give it up. I almost gave in and just bought that one for her, but I didn't. I couldn't believe the fit she threw when we took it away. I was quite embarrassed that it was my sweet and wonderful child throwing a tantrum in WAL-MART of all places. She is usually easily distracted, but not today. When we finally reached the front of the store and decided to put her down, she took off going back towards the back of the store where the toys are.
I guess there is a first time for everything.
On a better note, I will tell you about some sweet things my little one has been doing this past week. She now points to eyes, ears, nose, mouth, head, toes, belly button, and hands. She also has started saying PACI very clearly as well as WAWA for water. Her animal noises are BAA, Neigh, Meow, HOP, and she sticks out her tongue and pants for a dog...too funny! She is still completely obsessed with ALL shoes, especially Michael's flip flops, which she can find anywhere. If you have on a pair of shoes she doesn't like she bangs on your feet and says no until you take them off and put on the pair she wants you to. She is also becoming a big helper with going and getting her diaper (plus 10.) She also likes to take her dirty diaper and put it in the diaper champ. She still can't figure out where it actually goes to because she gets on the ground and tries to look under the can for it and says "Where's it?" She is so much fun, AND challenging. I just hope she always knows how much I love her, even with the new baby coming.
