Hendrix Dane Scott!

... and his chubby cheeks!!!

He apparently is just fine! He was completely bent in half with his feet in the way of his face :) so this is the best we got yesterday.. I can see him totally, some people have trouble! LOL

He also has alot of hair! :) and bets say its dark :)

It was so cool to see him, and although Kent had a hard time making it all out, the first thing he said was he had my nose.. sooo odd to hear! :) heheh my little boy!

We have a Crib!!! :)

Finally the wonderful crib handed down to us by Aunt Lesley, is finished and put together! Its alot bigger than I thought too!

I was at work yesterday and Kent has known I have wanted it finished for a while, as its been so close! but we also learnt that clear coat and spray paint cant be sprayed under 30 degrees... so this weekend proved to be a perfect opportunity for him to finish it. As I was about to leave he sent me a text message to check my email. So I check my email and I have an email from him that says "All done" and there it was! :) He had put it together, put the sheets on, and moved it around to different places as much as I did when I got home.. now we just have a dresser to find and a chair.. and one more thing to paint.. :) Its coming together though!

Almost 29 weeks..

Well its starting to set in, or maybe I am just in a bad mood at the moment! LOL I have become an emotional mess over the smallest things... I still feel great, no aches or pains or swelling or anything.. just kinda teary.. which we all knew from the start would be me! :)

The Drs appointments have now gone to every 2 weeks.. the baby is sideways apparently, but all is well. On Monday I am going to get a 3D 4D sonogram to meet him and see who he looks like :) - a mushy ball I hear you say.. yes probably, buy my mushy ball! ;)

Anyway here you go.. 28 week round me! :)

Almost done!!!!!!

We had a very productive day and got the painting and stripes done in the baby room, and Kent even got part of the crib finished so we can see how the black furniture will look :) I am so excited.. I may go and get the dresser tomorrow.. the crib may be done.. its gone from a room full of crap to finished in 2 days!!! :)

The lines on the carpet are because it was just shampooed.. Kent thought we needed new carpet.. but I washed it and I think we are good :)

Cash the Helper!

Cash is the biggest helper.. well he tries!

The other day he was helping Kent bring wood in, Kent lugged in a whole great thing of logs from the backyard, and as he set it down, Cash followed him and spat out a smaller piece of wood next to his stack.. as if to say here you go!! LOL

Well when we started painting the baby room he decided he needed to help in there too..

He ended up with paint in all kinds of places :)

30 huh...

So this whole 30 thing is OK, except for the fact that I was SICK all day! well all weekend! I could have done without that!

Coughing with a 2.5lb bowling ball strapped to your front is rough!!!

Aside from all this.. I had a lovely weekend though, Sunday was family day :) with food and cake, and today was cake for breakfast :) and then lunch with April, Jenny and Kristin which was fun, we havent done that in a while!!! Then April and I went for a pedicure VERY nice!

Kent just came home with 30 roses.. :) and I am really not feeling up to much.. so I think its a soup and grilled cheese night! :) and Heros! lol!

Happy Birthday to me! :)

SNOW!

Always Always.. around my birthday I get to sit and work, and watch snow.. today I was a little behind as I was sleeping! BUT we just ran out in the backyard to see it really was snow, and now I can see it next to me...

Cash had never seen snow.. he was a little funny! :)

Almost 27 weeks....

And into the THIRD Trimester!!!!

WOW how fast this has all gone, just 12 weeks, (maybe 10 or 11) left! All this and turning 30 on Monday.. What a busy weekend..

I took a picture the other day and I cant see much change, although I may post one soon.. just in case someone else can tell this bean is growing! He certainly is kicking up a storm! I can lay at night or in the morning and just feel him up to something in there..

We are almost done painting the nursery and I will get some pics of that too..

I just cant wait to meet him :)

snuggly!

Hunter has has a bed since the day we bought him home.. he used to fit in it, in fact he used to get lost in it! NOW though theres not too much left (god knows how many times I have tried to sew it up!) its just kind of a puffy blanket now that he carries around sometimes, and tells Cash off when he gets it.

We have noticed that when hes laying on it, he will put his 2 paws on it, his nose/mouth in between and its almost like a sucking motion, the closest thing I can compare it to is suckling.. we are pretty sure he was taken away from his mommy too young and so this has become his security thing..

He also makes a good pillow! :)

99 days to go...

Its starting to occur to me that this kid has to get out of there somehow.. the part which I am NOT looking forward to :(

We registered for childbirth classes the other day .. this should be fun....

OH and hes kicking like a champ now! or maybe its punching? who knows!

99 days to go... still

And today marks the end of COOKIES!

Today was our 25 week appointment.. Hendrix was busy BOUNCING all over.. while I was busy processing the 9 pounds I have gained in 4 weeks.. I knew it would come, I know it needs to.. but WOW thats ALOT in a short period! Although I am still only at 14 pounds total so far, and now apparently it will increase.. GREAT!

I am measuring 26.5 weeks (and I'm only just 25) so hes still measuring ahead, this means there is a good chance he will be here by 39 weeks (April 29th) and my Dr is all for induction! YES!

I got my nasty orange crap that I need to drink before my next appointment, which will be a peach let me tell you! I get to drink the nasty stuff, get a shot in my butt, and a bunch of blood taken! YAY! and all a week after turning 30!

We also got information that I know daddy will be OVERJOYED to see! The packet for the hospital classes :) oh what fun! :) Kent in a childbirth class.. *discuss*

24.5 weeks...

So I havent gotten a pic up in a while.. and some are sick of me cutting my head off.. LOL so today I got ready, bla bla bla... and managed to get a pic.. He doesnt look as big as he feels here.. but you get the idea! :)

Whose the baby?

Hunter got very worn out waiting to hear the baby tonight.. he waited patiently.. ear to belly and just fell asleep.. and SNORED sooo loud.. at least the baby will be used to that.. he was kicking him a little and Hunter didnt even notice :) LOL

ICEY WEATHER!

SO its not AS cold as they said it was going to be.. and we are in Texas! so cold is 30! LOL

But after working this weekend and braving what MIGHT have been icey roads we are all home today!

Cash has resumed his favorite location in the whole house! :)

New Camera

I got a new camera yesterday and I LOVE IT! It is similar to the one I have now, its just new! :) and new is always better...

I took some pictures of the babies I have now.. :)

The pictures are so clear and crisp.. I have some new gadgets to attach to it though.. which makes shooting so much easier! : I am so excited to use it for work :)

Hendrix' New Ride!

As my mid life crisis gift (and turning 30) Kent got me a used Lexus! I feel like a yuppy, and a mommy!

It came a little out of the blue, and actually is as affordable as my car, so I dont feel too bad!

I also felt Hendrix kick me pretty hard while at the dealership so I hope it was in approval!!!

22 weeks..

I tried to take a picture of all of me.. but it was blurry and my face looked yucky! so we will try this week maybe! But you can see how hes growing!! :)

Got Wood??

We got ALOT of wood delivered today! it seems like such an extravagence! I am an easily pleased girl.. hot bath, glass of wine.. nice fire!!! well 2 out of 3 aint bad!! :)

Cash seems to like it too.. hes a bit of a hog!

The nursery BEFORE

So on New Years Eve our big day was spend taking down decorations and moving my desk to the living room.. I actually like it in here.. Kents normally in his room and I get the fire, the big screen.. the kitchen :)

Anyway I thought it was time to show you the befores, before we get to close to after..

This is the room after my desk was taken out.. WOW I have work to do!!

These are the current pics of the crib that we inherited from Hendrix' Auntie and his cousins... we thought we would change it up a bit.. and renovate it!

This is the "bin" I got at Carters that will be painted also and serve as a book shelf/toy chest..

Here are some more pictures of the progress on the crib, we still have to clear coat it and the part that i saw coated looked awesome!!! but its so dusty in the garage that we are going to do it in the room before we paint it! :)

4 months to go!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Thank you!

Does this baby make me look fat?

Heheheh, I dont even know which week I am in now.. I think I will be 23 weeks on Saturday.. who knows! This just made me giggle.. i wondered how it would look through a camera.. and yup its almost as funny as it looks to me! Although I can still see my feet!

Its still not so bad.. I am sure something will hit me soon, the emotional part has gotten to me a few times but really just having fun eating, sleeping and working.. still..

We also registered.. that was fun! :) Kent and Babies R Us is ok, not quite as bad as Kent and Toys R Us, but there is still gadgets! :)

OH and Happy New Year! The year of Hendrix!

HO HO HO... MERRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas 2006

It feels like our christmas has lasted forever, we got a great English Christmas which I hope we get to do many more years, much to those that cooked it's dismay! :) And almost every day of christmas I just sit and think how next year will be so different, this time next year our little guy will be crawling (as far as his grandma is concerned) getting into presents, playing with paper and boxes, smiling ( I am sure there will be crying also-im not completely disallusioned :) ) I just cant wait to love Christmas more than I do already.

We have had a fun few days of shopping, spending time together, eating :) I really have enjoyed this holiday with my little belly... :) and with the excitement surrounding us for this year and next.

Yet again we have had a truly wonderful year! They just keep getting better and I cant wait to see how much next year is going to change our lives :) here's hoping for the better! :)

Happy Birthday DAD! :)

Merry Christmas Eve!

Well after a long day of getting ready to do OUR Christmas Eve, which was wonderful, lots of family, and we also got a visit from Jenny, Jillian and Tom :)

I decided that it was time to bake the cookies I wanted to make all week.. not that they are good or I needed them, but just a need to bake.. the first batch just came out and I am not sure how good they will be ! : (

Anyway Pregnant and Baking.. I didnt realise til halfway through that something was in the way :)

21 weeks!

So 19 weeks til the big day...or as April said.. 17 weeks for an optimist and 21 weeks for an pessimist! LOL I do hope this baby is an optimist!

At my visit yesterday I gained 2.5 pounds in the last 4 weeks, which was pretty good for going to England... and starting on all the christmas food. My total is now 5 pounds since I got PG, which I am happy with! :) My Dr said that between the tests they did and the level 2 sonogram it looks as though this is one healthy, happy baby! I am so lucky and just cant wait to meet him.

His measurements from the sonogram have him weighing about one pound, his Femur is about 2 inches, the part that surprised me was that his head is about 9 inches around, thats abou the size of a peach maybe, his abdomen is also about the same around.. it just seems strange that I cant feel huge lumps in there.. LOL I am still feeling swishes and turns and some pushing but no kicks yet! :( I am sure it will come soon enough..

Baths in the morning! :)

So I got up.. late, ate breakfast.. had some fruit.. and walked the dogs! Then after getting just a little wet came home and took a nice bath!

Bubble baths in the morning are so nice! :)

Swwet Baby Mason!

Presenting Baby Mason!

Hiccuping Baby!!!

We went for our 20 week sonogram today.. and we had the chance to get the DVD, while there was a lot of stuff on the DVD this was the best part! :)

They didnt just show him for very long but when they did he had hiccups, he did a little dance at another spot too.. and is VERY active! LOL

He is measuring just fine approx 4 days ahead :) so we may see him in April :)

Lewes Castle

Dont we look spooky.. its good you cant see me though.. i looked crap that day and it was raining! :)

The Family!

Well I got what I came for.. :) On Friday I was surrounded by 23 of my family! :) I have waited a long time to see everyone and do christmas like we always used to when I was younger. And to have Kent there and Hendrix (kind of) was great! We had an amazing dinner and then took pictures for what seemed like forever! So here are a few...


The ONLY down side is that I got whatever Kent got right after this and it prevented us from visiting my dads new church and house. But man that bug was pretty bad! It hit me hard.. but I was over it by today and we were able to enjoy the sights of London! We had so much fun and took lots of pictures.. I will add the link to these later.. We also took some shots of London which I have decided will match Hendrix's new room, along with his new Paddington :)


I will post more later.. just wanted to get some pictures up :)

Yay England!

Its finally rainy and gloomy just want Kent wanted.. and hes getting the blame for it here too!

We have had a good time, except for the time change, it took us til last night to be able to sleep through the night, and Kent was a little sick, but now we seem to be on track :)

I am also patiently sitting here waiting for news on April, at the last call she was pushing.. actually Gavin said WE were pushing.. how cute! LOL I do hope they are all OK and I cant help but wish I was there.. I cant believe after all this time I can get homesick for America... :(

I cant wait to see pictures of little Mason though! :)

Baby Hendrix? is just fine!

Still getting used to Hendrix.. we will see!!

Anyway we went for a check up today and he is just fine! he was VERY active and moved the whole time.. in fact he started like this..

And ended up like this...

What a GREAT Profile!!! Thanks Dr Ben!

Dr Ben said he has great lips.. LOL not sure how you can tell that.. and a cute nose. He also double checked he was still a boy.. and he is.. the shot looked the same as the other except his legs are fatter!

We also got the obligatory Alien shot!

My Dr also said that I had only gained a pound and my uterus was almost at my belly button! :)

He also said that Dex (trying to get used to the names!) is measuring a week ahead still. But all looks perfect and ready for a trip to England. Our next appt is the 18th, to get a closer look at him and make sure he really is perfect! My Dr was very happy with my test results and said she had never seen a false negative and so doesnt expect anything to come back from the level 2! So fingers crossed!

Brand New Bedroom!!

Kent and his Dad worked VERY hard today!! and sustained a few injuries! But the end result is GORGEOUS! I have waited so long to have hardwood floors, and we started in our bedroom as the carpet was a little misused by the puppies in there!

Next is the living room and hallways!! :) I think we need to wait a while for that though.. :)

At 10 am I left for work and it was prepped and ready and at 7pm the last piece went in, we then put the base boards back on a caulked.. I am apparently very good at caulking! :) Cleaned the floor made the bed.. and VOILA! I cant wait to get to bed tonight :)

It feels so clean in there.. I love it!

This is the corner that the baby chair and playpen will be in.. our room is so big.. we have no idea what to put in it!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Well this year is obviously special! :) and next year will be very different for us! its almost scary!!!!

We did get the results of our Quad testing back, which tests for Down Syndrome and Spina Bifide, and some other neural defects, it was nerve wracking to wait and they do have a high false positive! But my lovely nurse called me on Tuesday to tell me that all is well and my blood work was perfect!!! :)

So it seems that we have one healthy baby boy! Hes also making me gain some weight now and look a little more pregnant too.. I will post a new pic soon.

We are about to go enjoy our Thanksgiving day! Lots of Turkey and pies! YUM! I just hope I have enough room...

17 weeks on Saturday WOW!

The Verdict is in....

Its a BOY!

So we went today for a routine sonogram after the spotting last week, and I had been told we MAY be able to find out what it was today! Well the sonographer looked and said.. hmm maybe we can... we will see... at first glance he said.. if i had to guess I would say boy.... then he got another shot and said.. yup 90% its a boy... then on the last shot... which is seen here! He said.. YUP 99% sure its a boy, and a proud one!!! Hes showing off!!! LOL Like father like son I guess!

Now comes the room and all that fun stuff!! I just hope it doesnt change its mind!!!! LOL

Dont Panic!!

So this morning, I had an unplanned visit to my Dr, last night at about 9 i started bleeding, and the kind of blood that apparently you should never bleed! RED. Well i called the Dr last night and she wasnt too concerned as i had no pain, which made me feel better. So I went in this morning and she said it was my cervix but not the inside where the baby is. SO the heartbeat was great, she stopped the bleeding and set me to bed for 3 days. Which isnt a bad thing, just costs me money! grrrrr.. oh well I guess its time to snuggle with puppies and take naps! :)

I will now have a sonogram at 14 weeks though. So fingers crossed that all is well on Nov 6th :)

Aprils Baby Shower!

Sunday Oct 22nd was Aprils Baby Shower..

There was MUCH food! even afterwards! I think we are all still eating fruit salad and my stupid pineapple and cheese! although some surprised themselves and liked it! :) Thank You !

I think April made out like a bandit! and probably doesnt have much left that she needs at this point! Thanks to everyone! Hosting baby showers is fun but man they wear you out!! :)

Lone Star Assasins!

Well Roller Derby is over and MIA HAMMER aka Kristy! and the Lone Star Assasins won the GOLDEN WHEEL!! :) I cant believe we have to wait til April to see more! Oh well..

I do believe someone was getting proposed to in this pic also :)

BarktoberFEST!

Amy came to visit to take the puppies out for the morning!

They had a blast, they were exhausted! and we won Daddy a Dallas Stars Pennant with the captains signature on it!

Lol Dont they look happy! :)

New Belly Pic.. WHOA!

So here I am thinking nothings changing and then I think hmmm I'll take another belly pic, 12 weeks is a big one right! OMG I guess something is popping! Oh well here we go!

Not much is new!

Starting, used very mildly to feel better! some days are better than others...and then I throw up! LOL

I have been listening to baby Scott alot and it sounds like its doing just fine in there, its all very girgly and gloopy! and of course the heartbeat still as strong as ever! :)

I will be out of my First Trimester on Saturday.. although I figured it would end at the end of the twelth week, this is all too complicated!!! I dont really care as long as I feel better!

Next appointment is Nov 6th.. I wonder if we will see the baby bean again! :)

A Belly pic!

LIke you didnt see enough of this in that wonderful video!

I decided to take an official belly pic!

10W3D (1 pound gained)

Good strong heartbeat!!!

It was so awesome to hear the heartbeat ( you can see by the smile on my face) Kent was there today too to hear it and it was soo cool! its in the mid 160s (from what we saw on the monitor) and beating strong.. it took NO time to find it!

I am so glad we got some video although I could have gone without seeing me!!! Dont I look GLOWING! LOL when does that happen again?, I am ready for the pimples and nasty hair to go AWAY!!! I was however pleased to learn I had only gained 1 pound in 10 Weeks! :)

Um MY BED!

NO MY BED!

It seems if we move Hunters bed around he doesnt mind, he stays asleep in the spot where it once was.. Cash on the other hand, will follow the bed and get on it.. no matter where it is!! LOL He seems to be a bit of a camera hog too!

Uncle Kracker! :)

Awwww our first concert.. and they played our song!

Week 10!!

So I am a quarter of the way through this magical.. uh hum.. journey! We go to hear the heartbeat on Monday and then I think it will all be real! But I say that about each appointment.. Heres what it says is going on in there at week 10..

"I'm Swimming! The baby has begun moving inside the womb although it's too small for mom to notice. Most of the joints are formed now - elbow, wrist, knee, shoulder, and ankle as well as the hands, fingers, feet and toes."

OH MY GOD! I know! its scary, I also read its a fetus now and not an embryo but there was some confusion on that so who knows! oh and its getting ready to have its first poo! GREAT!

Hmmm no pics..

I always wait til I have a pic to post anything and while one is sitting on my camera.. I cant be bothered to get up and get it, so I thought I would write an update with no pictures... *gasp*

All has been well I have actually felt better, hmm watch I will wake up sick as a dog tomorrow morning.. anyway.. I like it better when I am sick though as then I know that all is well, I just have to learn that you dont have to have your head down the toilet to feel like there is a baby in there.

On Monday we will go to hear the heartbeat and hopefully we WILL hear it! I am hoping to record it in some way.

While in other news, I announced my baby contest and have had a great response.. I cant wait to see all those little babies! And also to figure out who will win it! :) I have some great people lined up to judge it :) Wait thats baby related too.. hmm what else is there! OH a trip to England.. hopefully in December, I cant wait to make this an annual trip so that we can have christmas there every year! and get to see Panto!! and it will be cold which is a nice change to Texas. I will be so excited it if turns out..

Well thats enough just filling up the page.. blah blah blah...

I will post again with a picture.. i know it makes it more interesting!

Updated with sonogram!

Here it is! Its grown ALOT and has a head and little arm and leg buds.. although kent says it looks a little like a scorpion!

All is well.. YAY

So finally my mind is at ease, at least a little more at ease! We had our second sonogram on Monday and everything looked great! My Dr said I have one happy baby in there! I havent gotten a pic of the sonogram yet.. as I am feeling pretty lazy right now! but I will.. and then I will post it!

Thanks for all your good wishes! now I just have the next 31 weeks to get through safely.. oh god I worry too much!!

Introducing!!!!

Lil Baby Scott!!!!


Here is baby Scott's camera debut! stunning. I saw a good heartbeat.. and could totally make out what it was .. I didnt feel like Jennifer Anniston in Friends at all!

The only thing we are watching is that there seemed to be a friend in there.. or at least the makings of a twin.. but its just a sac there is nothing in there! I was happy to see one good heart and little buddy.. they did say it could also be a blood clot of somekind.. so we go back in 2 weeks for another photo shoot! :)

Officially 6 weeks and 2 days.. due on May 5th 2007!

Well its seems we may have...

Bought a gift home from Knoxville... no not Krystal Burgers or even the snazzy sweatshirt I got at the airport! but a little peanut~

Not saying too much right now.. but I may have more news next week.. thats all I am sayin!
