1 more month

We are on the home stretch now. One more month. I have weekly Dr. visits now. They will begin checking me from below this next time to make sure I'm not dilating. They will also do a Group B strep test to see if I will have to have antibiotics before delivery. I didnt with Jeremiah, but they do it everytime.
Jeremiah is starting to come around. He is finally back in his bed at night. He gets excited about babies most of the time now. He always wants to hold our friends babies, Alivia and Ryan, and asked to help with Alivias diaper this weekend. He is a big NUK man. Any noise those babies make and he thinks they need their pacifier and shoves it in.
I love the feeling of a stirring baby in my belly. That is a feeling that can not be mimiced. I remember last time missing that feeling after it was all over with. I do not think I will miss the constant backache, however. That is my main complaint with this one, especially now at the end is just the constant hurting back, which in turn affects my sleep. I do feel good other than that. I dont want to rush through this pregnancy but I am ready to meet the little guy.

Jessica, Jessica, Me and Edie



These are my friends who graciously threw my shower. They did such a great job. I really appreciate them for the time, energy and money they put into this. The food was amazing and the decorations were so cute. Thanks again to my girls.

Baby Shower



We had a baby shower this weekend. It was a lot of fun. My friends, Jessica, Jessica, and Edie put it on and did a fantastic job. It was really pretty. They had turtles on the walls and it was nicely decorated. Dave bought my centerpiece of flowers, since it also happened to be Sweetest Day. That was very sweet of him. I got a lot of cute things for the baby. jeremiah helped me open the gifts. He was a big helper. Here are a few pictures from the shower.

Jeremiah not so sure about this

So ever since our 3D ultrasound Jeremiah is not excited about this baby. He now says he doesnt want a brother. The other night he just cried and cried that he didnt want to sleep in his bed. He grabbed our arms and screamed for us to please not leave him. We would be in the hall and he would scream "please, i love you, dont leave me alone". It had us both in tears. It was like we were letting him down and breaking his heart, which literally broke ours. We all had a good cry that night. I cant help but think that Jeremiah is acting out now because he does realize that he is about to have to share and it scares him. I hope he can get over this before the baby gets here (or soon after).
We rearranged rooms so now he is closer to our room, which so far has seemed to help, but he still wants to be close to us a lot and sometimes wanders in at night.
He has never cried when I take him to class at church or preschool or anything. We have always been able to drop him off and he say "see ya mom" and go play. For the past two weeks he has cried crocidile tears and screamed for me not to leave him at Mops and at church. He just wants to be with me. He knows how to make it happen too. He says " mom i will be quiet and sit still, i promise". He is so smart.
It is really hard for us right now to be hard and say no when he just wants to be near us and love on us. We have made a mutual decision to just love on him and be with him all he needs right now. We know one day he wont want to be near us so we are cherishing every moment we have now.

32 weeks


Here we are at 32 weeks. Time is moving, sometimes it doesnt seem very fast, and others it seems like it is flying. We had a Dr. appointment yesterday. It was uneventful. A couple pound weight gain (as usual) and still measuring good. Thomas' heartbeat was a calm 145, which is great. I go to the doctor every 2 weeks now.
I feel like he is definatly growing. More and more clothes dont fit me everyday.
I feel blessed to be able to have another baby and am very thankful God is allowing me to share in this miracle He is making.
7 more weeks but who is counting ;>)

The 3D/4D ultrasound experience

I thought this was so much fun. It was exciting to see Thomas.
He was a bit of a wiggle worm. The lady said I would have my hands full in 2 months. We got some really good pictures though. He gave us a peace sign in one picture. She had to hurry and snap the pics cause he kept putting his hands up on his face. He sucked his hand in some and she showed us his little fat rolls in a few. He has nice long fingers and she showed us his little peach fuzz on his head. He does look like Jeremiah so far. He had his eyes open just looking around and kicking me every chance he got.
She said she was suprised I didnt have bruises from him being so active.
And so it begins, my 3rd (Dave, Jeremiah and now Thomas) ADD child. I love it. God is teaching me patience.
Leave me a comment if you want.
