and so it began...

Christmas break officially started yesterday (last day of school was Friday). There's good and bad to it, Jaiden's (usually) great with Travis, however, it means one more child to entertain during the day, and this one doesn't take a nap--lol.

Needless to say, Christmas is creeping up on us, and I cannot wait! I bought my ham yesterday, and baked cookies, as well. Today I made candie coated pecans, but I'm still waiting for them to cool to see if they're any good! I hope they are! My shopping is done, but my cleaning is not! Definitely need to do that! Christmas morning breakfast will probably be french toast, that a friend posted that can soak all night, and that way there all the clean up can be done Christmas Eve instead of after I make it Christmas morning! What a plus!

I've got pictures to post, but they're on the lap top (thanks Jamie), instead of hte desk top, and the lap top isn't picking up internet connection for some reason (boo!).

We got a bunch of snow, however, it seems to all be melting today, which leaves it ugly outside. I'm really hoping it's either all gone, or all covered up by Christmas morning!

that's it for now. x

28 wks and counting!

So I had my 28 wk appt today, and everything went well. My BP was 120/70, which is SO much better than when I was pregnant with Travis!! I gained 5 lbs (in a month) making the total so far 10 lbs, and Timothy's heart rate was at 150. Travis was cute, when the mid wife took the doppler and put it on my belly I reached down for Travis and as soon as he heard his baby brother he hugged my arm. I told him, "that's your baby brother" and he goes, "HI!" So cute!!! I'm measuring right on schedule, which is good.

When I asked the midwife about the pressure that I've been feeling (feels like the baby could pop out at any time), and she said the baby is head down and getting into position. I'm glad he's in position, however, Timothy, if you could stop being so adament in wedging yourself down further, Mommy would greatly appreciate it!!

I got his coming home outfit today, but it's downstairs locked in a room that has all the christmas gifts in it, as it's in a bag that has a present for Jamie in it. I'll take pictures tomorrow maybe and post them :)

he's almost home!

Jamie is supposed to be landing in like 30 minutes! I'm super excited to see him! This week was a tough one. Pregnancy emotions are not my friend, especially when the hubby is gone! I had a tough week, but as always, got through it. I'm dreading the fact that he's going to leave for 7-8 months in February...that's going to be alot rougher! Hopefully I'll be so busy at that point that I won't even notice he's not here (yeah right!).

Needless to say, this morning I cleaned the house (I was slacking this week). Now I've got to run to the store to get potatoes so I can make meatloaf and mashed potatoes tonight.
