48 Hours..

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LOL

Look how cute!! :)

3 days to go!!!

Its going WAY TOO FAST!

Sometimes I think that sometimes I think, my god just get him here! LOL But then I realise how hard it will be, and how he might be totally different to what I expect, not that I know what I expect! I still dont feel like I am going to be a parent, and I dont remember what it was like before this belly! I really could bend apparently!! HUH! how nice..

Today is our oldest nephews birthday! Hes growing so fast, it seems like yesterday I met Kent and he had a picture of his sister with this baby on his fridge.. granted it was there for a few years.. LOL (being as I didnt come along til he was probaby 18 months old).

and now hes SIX!!! oh my!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Weird thing is I KNOW I will say the same thing this time next year and year after.. its going way too fast!!! LOL

Cute Poem..

I will try to remember this when hes screaming! LOL and I feel like I have no idea!!

A Baby's Choice Did you ever think, dear Mother, As the seeds of me you sowed, As you breathed new life inside of me and slowly watched me grow, In all your dreams about me When you planned me out so well, When you couldn't wait to have me there Inside your heart to dwell, Did you ever think that maybe I was planning for you, too, And choosing for my very own A mother just like you? A mother who smelled sweet and who Had hands so creamy white, A tender, loving creature Who would soothe me in the night? Did you ever think in all those days While you were coming due, That as you planned a life for me I sought a life with you? Anf now as I lay in your arms, I wonder if you knew While you were busy making me, I was choosing you!

The Countdown begins!!!

7 Days to go

.. Approx 167 hours til I am a mummy! :) and Kents a daddy.. I cant even imagine!!

Hendrix has a birthday!!

April 26th.. at approx 7.30am :) (C Section)


We will keep you posted and I am hoping to have pictures and video HERE as soon as I can move my fingers :)

UGH High Risk Dr

Today I have an appointment with the High Risk Dr, I dont like going there.. he tells me things I shouldnt be told.. luckily its really early.. so I can get it out of the way.

OH and WAL MART opens today! YAY!

Getting some practice! :)

Yesterday Mimi and I brought Noah home to Mimis house, he was so excited to ride in the car! (I have pictures of all that too :) I will post later).

Today though I had my Drs appt, yes another one, the first of 3 this week actually! afterwards I picked up Mimi and Noah to come and help get ready for baby H, we got groceries and cooked A BUNCH, Mimi left us with enough Ziti and Lasagna to feed our subdivision! and I made Shepherds Pie for dinner and some extras for later.. we have a whole shelf of frozen food.. I love it! :) Noah slept the whole time, and even the dogs were quiet. Noah woke up in strange room and just chatted to himself (we heard him while testing the monitors out ) and he liked the lights in our bedroom (hey if a 2 year old likes them they must be cool!).

Then Mimi turned her interests (or I may have asked.. :) to sewing, she made a cool boppy cover for my naked boppy, which of course matches the room :) and then finished off a cool blanket that I may also need monogrammed now.

Once dinner was over an impromptu pillow fight erupted in my living room.. Uncle Kent, Pappaw and Noah held no prisoners..

Even Hunter was targeted, but immediately went to get his bed to be included in the pillow fight!

The large blue exercise ball, which sits in my living room and never gets used, also became involved in the whole event.. it was good practice for Kent, although it will be a few years before this level of wrestling can take place! :)

I now have one tired SNORING dog, and one that is just passed out! They had fun playing with Noah and really were great with him, I feel pretty confident that they will be great big brothers! :)

It was a great day and I think all had fun :) Its made me anticpate the arrival of little H even more! Not only being more prepared with food, and a finished room, but the fun that will come when the cute babyness wears off! ;) I do hope hes alot like his cousin, in fact I would love him to take a little something from each of them!

McNoskys and Bluebonnets! :)

Awww Look what I found today! Some McNosky's in the Bluebonnets! :) Well more in a tree.. but there are some Bluebonnets there in the background! :)

Action Packed Sunday!!!

Happy Birthday MUM ! First things first!!!

I also went to celebrate Luke's birthday at Chuckee cheese.. man is that an experience! WITH 2 year olds! WOW. LOL

It was nice to see everyone, Luke, who was just so grown up compared to the last time I saw him, some time last year! WOW.. Jillian sporting a stunning lime green hairbow! :) Mason and April, and even Gavin and Tom! Kent was at home taking a day off.. hey its the least I could do hes having a baby next week!!! LOL

Heres an obligatory group picture.. I swear they keep getting bigger.. and Jenny keeps leaving too early :( I will have to try and photoshop her and Jillian in! ;)

37 weeks today

WOOOO Nelly!!!

LOOK AT THAT BELLY! LOL Well I feel officially huge! but it feels good to say LOOK NO STRETCH MARKS.. dont hate me! I have still gained plenty of weight.. I just have stretchy skin :) Thanks to that mediteranean blood :)

Heres my Hope!

So from the time the Drs had told me what they had found in Little H's head I have gone from worry to reassuring myself that he is fine. The sonographer had said that he wasnt even going to mention it, but I guess hes high risk and its his job to find whatever.. so he told us, My Dr said that shes confident it doesnt mean anything but just maybe a genetic thing. She said that we have done every single test, and sonogram to make sure that he is ok. So I find some comfort in this.. this doesnt however stop me worrying :( I just want a normal healthy baby boy and while that seems like an easy request he has his own plan I guess.

I am comforted to know that my friends and family are praying for him, and even my dad has his whole church in England praying for Little H! :) Its only a few weeks to go.. and I just PRAY hes safe and well.

Here is an article that I enjoy reading.. it gives me hope that the fact that they found this later, and with no other abnormalities means that he is just fine! :)

Clinical significance of isolated enlargement of the cisterna magna (> 10 mm) on prenatal sonography
J. A. Haimovici, P. M. Doubilet, C. B. Benson and M. C. Frates Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Enlargement of the cisterna magna has been reported to be associated with aneuploidy. In prior studies of cisterna magna enlargement, however, those fetuses with abnormal chromosomes have had other sonographic abnormalities in addition to a large cisterna magna. Our goal was to assess the clinical significance of the isolated finding of a cisterna magna measuring more than 10 mm in anteroposterior dimension on a prenatal sonogram. We retrieved all prenatal sonograms performed at our institution between 1989 and 1996 in which an enlarged cisterna magna was the only sonographic abnormality. Cases were included in our study if the cisterna magna measured more than 10 mm in the appropriate plane and the fetal survey was otherwise normal, including normal cerebellar size and morphology. Pregnancy outcome and postnatal follow-up were obtained in each case. Fifteen cases comprised our study population. In all 15 fetuses, the enlarged cisterna magna was first seen in the third trimester (gestational age range, 26 to 37 weeks). The cisterna magna ranged from 11 to 19 mm in size (mean, 12.9 mm). All 15 pregnancies resulted in phenotypically normal liveborn infants. All the mother and infants had short hospital stays (1 to 4 days), and the infants were normal at discharge. Longer follow-up was available in eight cases (range, 2 to 69 months), and all eight of these infants were normal. Our results suggest that isolated enlargement of the cisterna magna to more than 10 mm is associated with normal pregnancy and neonatal outcome.

36 week Appointment! hes is coming!! :)

2 weeks tonight I will be in the hospital getting ready for the longest Tuesday of my life!!! We will go in on Monday to get ready to try and deliver this big headed bean on Tuesday. As of today he is weighing in at 6lbs 11oz so hes gaining his half pound a week.. so by delivery time he should be about 8 pounds.. here's hoping..

On the Tuesday they will let me labor for a while and see how hes doing, if he doesn't show signs of moving downward or anything they will go ahead and do a C section as his head may be too big to engage in my pelvis. If anything causes the Dr to think its not at all possible there is a C section scheduled for April 26th. But I really do hope to have some labor.. so I can prepare him for his big entrance, and not just yank him out when hes half asleep!

I do wonder though.. as women have been doing this for years.. what happened when their babies had big heads.. did the Dr's just say.. OH Well.. no baby for you! But after reading how childbirth has evolved, the reason we are now put in such situations is because of prenatal health care, and its a good thing don't get me wrong! Care has evolved in such a way that women are much better taken care of, have better diets (do they see the cookies I eat!!!) and have learnt of the risks of smoking and drinking during pregnancy, therefore preparing us for bigger healthier babies. Of course it also has to do with the ease of C Sections now a days, which some like to call C Birth.. I mean its still a birth, still takes recovery (lots of it) and the end result is the same! :)

At my appointment today, you know this new fangled kind of care where they take good care of you to make this big babies!!! Well imagine for a second a COW.. yes a COW.. (hey Kent's made the sounds at me lately.. I do kinda feel like one.. hes sweet isn't he!! :) ) anyway back to the Cow.. now imagine the farmer with that long glove that goes up his whole arm! and you know what he does with that glove clad arm right.. ya... well that's what the internal felt like today.. I do believe I left the table.. and I am not a huge wuss.. It turns out he is still very HIGH.. and she tried to touch him.. HAHA.. he apparently is like his dad he doesn't want to be touched!!!

So after 2 and half hours of testing and sonograms and prodding I left feeling well.. I have a date.. that was all worth it right!!

If all goes well.. Hendrix Dane Scott will be born to us on April 24th 2007 :) whichever way he cooperates with coming out~

Hendrix's Room is ALMOST done!

His bag is already to go! Ours isnt.. LOL but hey he will be taken care of.

This is his book selection so far!! Auntie April has advised me that reading is great for little ones, and so Kent repainted this unit from Carters to hold his books and toys :)

H!!! I have a feeling thost that have trouble with Hendrix may call him H! or Dex, or Dane! LOL or Henry.. (Jenny).

He has a few blankets with his name on :) Teach him early how to spell it!

I have to add something to those little canvases I am just not sure what yet.. something with black maybe? surprise! LOL We are just waiting on the skirt from Mimi, and the home made bedding made by Moi and Mimi will be complete!

His toy unit and cool mist humidifier! Apparently thats good for him too :)

The dresser I LOVE! Very organised! The London picture.. which will come down when that very old fashioned tv with a VCR gets traded in for a flat screen :) Oh and the black rug that just LOVES the puppies hair!!

You know you are going to the Dr too much when...

They call to confirm your NEXT appointment before you have been to the one scheduled for today!!

AND the home nurse lady called to come and show me how to take my Blood Pressure.. its not even bad.. oh well..

ok the FINAL bluebonnet pics!

There were some taken of us on Monday but I wasnt too keen on the ones I got.. Kents sister Lesley, on the other hand got some cute ones of us! :) I am actually not afraid to post them :) They actually made me smile :)

The stages of pregnancy!

I have really enjoyed my pregnancy, no major complications, not major weight gain, I have been able to work... until last week. Although I am still doing what I can now.. it just seems like so much has happened in a week. This has taken its toll on me!

I am sure everyone goes through lots of feelings at the end of their pregnancy! I mean you are about to bring this little person into the world.. so my natural instinct right now is.. WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING!

All in all I am scared, petrified (mainly of delivery- whichever way it happens) sad, guilty I feel like I will have nothing for this little one, I have no connection to him, and cant even imagine how you can love something when you didnt know what it would look like. I feel like they will hand me this rolled up thing.. and I will not know what to do with him, or how I feel about him! This scares me BEYOND belief, all I have wanted since I was young was a baby, and now its going to happen I am scared! I guess its natural I mean its a big deal!

On the upside I think Kent is going to be wonderful at this. He talks big but at the end of the day hes got the biggest heart! I think we are both scared to death, but we have been through plenty, this is just another part, with what I am told is a wonderful end result!

So theres my pity party, I am sure (or at least I hope) its natural. I may spend some time in his room today .. I just feel like I want to crawl in a hole :( good job I am on bedrest! I can!:)

More Bluebonnets!

Noah being all thougtful and moody :)


Just practicing!

Max in a tree... go figure!

Ahhh children Frolicking!

Max hurt - go figure! :)

Pretty girl!

Everyone ALMOST all smiling and looking at the same time!

Hes got a big what?

Yesterday I had an appointment with the high risk Dr, I think it was all something to do with my BP and just checking on everything. This appoitment mainly consisted of a sonogram where they measured everything on the baby, this is how they can find out that everything is OK with him, there are no abnormalities etc. Well aside from having a VERY large head! Which was measuring about 39 1/2 weeks to my 35 weeks... the Dr mentioned that he had an enlarged (or may have) Cisterna Magna (Can you tell I have been doing my research, I had no idea what he was talking about yesterday - now I could probably tell you anything). The Cisterna Magna is an area in the back of the head (outside of the brain) that had Cerebral Fluid passing through it. The measurement they LIKE to see is 4mm-10mm all of which are very normal. His is about 13mm so not too far off.. and not considered too abnormal.

After having a day of Oh MY God, and then ah its ok.. I finally spoke with my regular Dr last night and she said that normaly this is something that doesnt amount to anything and with no other flags (other weird measurements of bad test results - of which I have had most tests) she really isnt concerned about it. She also said that the developement at 20 weeks provides many more flags and it was measuring fine then. She said if you measured any grown adult probably alot of them have this enlarged Cisterna Magna and are just fine. It was just something they like to see in a normal range and they dont like it when its not.

SO what now! When Little H is born they will take him to have an ultrasound of his head so that they can see if it was just the measurement in utero that was off, or if it really is enlarged. If it is enlarged we can see a pediatric neuroligist (scary words) and he will tell us what to do. As far as I have seen I cant tell that this causes too many issues (especially considering he has no other problems).

Today I am going to see my reg Dr and will probably ask more questions. But for the time being I am trying not to worry about it!

On the bright side the Dr said hes measuring at 6lbs 3 oz already :) again with a VERY large head!!! (Thanks Kent) :)

YAY Bluebonnet time!

There is a great place near my house that has Bluebonnets and a whole lot of them, except last year they didnt have any.. this year.. there is sooo many :) I cant wait to take some pictures of people in them.. ahem...

Anyway I went out this evening to just get pictures of the bluebonnets.. who would have thought that would have worn me out so.. :( I am ready for bed now!

So, Happy Spring! Enjoy!

Here we are at 35 weeks!

WOW its all really gone so fast, granted this week feels like it lasted FOREVER! but all in all we really are in the home stretch! With only 3 weeks to go I cant believe how soon Little H will be here. Some days I feel completely ready, and others I am still unsure whats going on, and find it hard to believe theres a little person in my belly!

I did get a call from the Dr yesterday to check up on me, and she let me know there was no protein in all the pee I had collected for a day! So that is great news, as it means I dont have Pre Eclampsia, I just have Gestational Induced Hypertension. So I guess thats good :) I maintained fairly good BP yesterday and slept like BABY (one that sleeps) last night.. it was so nice!!!

This weekend I will just finish getting things together at home, and started ordering the things we needed online :) Thats the way to do it on bedrest... that way I get stuff in the mail everyday! :)

Good Ole british humor!!!

Should children witness childbirth?

Due to a power failure, only one paramedic responded to the call.
The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr oldgirl,
to hold a flashlight high over her mummy so he could see while he
helped deliver the baby.
Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Mummy pushed and
pushed and after a little while, Connor was born.
The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his
bottom. Connor began to cry.
The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the
wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the
first place......smack his ass again!
(If you don't laugh at this one, there's no hope for you

Update...

Well I guess its good and bad... I am allowed to shoot tomorrow but I am still actually on bedrest.. well house arrest, my BP was good today, but we are still watching it. And also waiting to see if all the pee I collected, i know great huh, has anything to tell them.

She did say that chances are Little H will be here in 3 weeks.. MAN that is soon.. but I can bet that those 3 weeks will drag like heck! It will feel like 3 months.. UGH... The only change will come if my BP shoots up and then he will come right away! SCARIER!

They are also sending a home nurse to show me how to do my BP (apparently without my fancy digital wrist thing - how boring) and test my pee.. YAY! I cant wair for that..

So I guess its time to get ready, buy stuff online.. LOL and sit back and wait for the little princes arrival! :)

Get Comfy!

woooohooo ankle bones!!!

My ankle bones have made a reappearance.. I hope that means I have done good! :) my fingers and feet both look so much smaller..

Fingers crossed for tomorrow that I am allowed up a little :) or at least more than I am now!

Second Day... Same as the first...

Except I have slept most of the day.. The thing is I dont want to do anything, once you have been in bed for longer than normal you dont even want to get up..

My BP is up and down, most of the day its nice and low and where it should be but every now and again I get a surprise.

nuff said..

Off to bed I go....

I had lots to do today, Drs appt, 2 shoots, shopping..

HA.... I got to my Drs Appt and and as part of the reg routine they took my blood pressure and the nurse looked a little confused, so she did it again, and told me that it was 140/90, now I really have no idea what these numbers mean, but I do know thats not what I am normally at! I have always been praised for great blood pressure... hey its nice to get something right! :)

So I go back to my Dr and she also checks it .. TWICE.. still up there... Then she says, OK I need you to go straight to the Hospital (next door) and be evaluated. In typical ME fashion I say, when you say "straight next door" what do you mean.. is 3pm ok! :) after agreeing that I can go do my 2 shoots.. I leave, then it all starts to sink in and I get a little nervous!

I go back to the hospital at 3.30 and had no idea how uncomfortable I would feel, I mean they are there to take care of you, but just being in a hospital gown, on a hospital bed, with all the things surrounding me that they need to deliver babies, scared the living CRAP outta me!

I was hooked up to machines, for the babys heart, contractions, my BP there was beeping and noises and heartbeats, the BP machine sounded like a computer game when it was finished getting your pressure.. which was a little amusing.. but no where near as amusing as Kent in a hospital room.. LOL switches, and light and OMG the controls on the bed WHY put them on the outside where he can get them... I am laying there with my head and legs going up and down! It did lighten the moment though.. He decided he liked the chair in the room, so at least he will be comfy :)

Anyway so long story not so short, the Dr came in and said that I was allowed to go home, on bed rest, and that I would be checked again on Thursday. If I am really lucky I will be allowed to shoot on Friday... its a BIG day! If the worst happens I will be admitted on hospital bedrest.. so for the next 2 days I am IN bed and relaxing :)

SOOOO Bring on the rain! and the girlie movies.. We got home tonight and Kent changed the bed, ran me a bath, made me some soup and then sent me to bed, its comfy right now, we will see how I feel tomorrow ;) I have a machine for my BP too so that will be fun to follow.

Stay Tuned...

One less date!!!

So for months I have been more than looking forward to my shower! :) Friends, and Food and Gifts! My shower was great and so cute! I got to see people I hadnt seen in a while, and that was also wonderful. But upon getting home I realised, OK so I had been looking forward to that for so long, the only big thing left now is the baby! (I do have 2 more big photo dates on the 30th and the 7th - then I am off!) But for the shower to be done, more stuff in the nursery, and having heard wait for your shower for months, now its up to us to make sure we have all we need to welcome Little H!

This more than stressed me out a little last night, it led to freaking out about a stupid light in the nursery, and I THANK Kent for his patience with me. We got it fixed, played with our new toys in the nursery, the Diaper Champ is a big hit with Kent, I think because of the minimal time it takes to put it together.. he hasnt figured out why we need a bumbo seat, I told him it helps the baby sit up before he can really do it for himself, his response.. " wait til he's ready" LOL. At midnight after all this fun we turned in. Now I have to figure out what we need to finish it off! :)

Here are a couple of pictures of my massiveness at my shower.. I really wasnt aware how huge I am! But like I keep saying once the baby comes out, he's 70 pounds now ;) and the placenta, which I have been told is VERY healthy, probably another 50pounds! I will leave that hospital looking like Nicole Richie! :) Believe me I am under no misconceptions, just hope that I can get rid of it all once I am home! :) I was excited that I got to wear a non PG shirt, and non PG pants to my shower! :) Although shoes are a whole NOTHER story!! :)

Taking your guesses! :)

Heres a few recent pics.. I am almost 34 weeks.. He has measured ahead about 2 weeks the whole time, and was about 5 pounds last week.. Put in your bets now! :)

let the nesting begin!

Kent and I washed clothes last night and started to put them away, Well Kent folded and placed in the drawer and I went behind him and refolded and put somewhere else...I explained that I wanted him to be a part of it, and to know where things go. He explained how I would be moving everything 3 times before Little H gets here anyway! He's right..

I officially gained more pounds that I do not care to note this week, but then again I think this kid gained some of it! He hasnt moved alot this week, although he still has a great heartbeat, and I think hes still head down. I can feel him when my hand is on my belly, kinda wriggling so he may be almost out of room, which means its about to get REAL uncomfortable for me!

Kent graduated me from Huge to MASSIVE last night too.. thanks sweetie! I will try to take a picture today once I decide to get dressed :)

Happy East er from Mason and Rilee!

We had a little shoot when April and Amy came to visit the other day! :)

I couldnt help but put these 2 pics together.. Mason kept the same face all the time.. he wasnt too impressed.. and when Rilee finally started to smile he put a stop to it! :)

49 days! OMG~

Well its really coming thick and fast now! he could be here in 5 or 6 weeks and I really feel he will be! Right now he is weighing in at around 4.65 pounds and gaining like a champ! He is actually head down, when both and I the Dr thought he wasn't, apparently he has a boney butt.. like his dad! He has some HUGE lips! and LOVES to suck his thumb in all recent pics hes been sucking on it! Heres a new pic.. I have detailed some areas (those arent part of him LOL)
All of that white around his head is actually hair! apparently he has ALOT of it.. and in some of the pics it looks like its curly.. and while he was sucking his thumb when I was there.. (and LICKING the Placenta.. ewwww) his lips were all big too.. Not sure where he gets that.. I am sure we will see when he gets here! It may be cause he's getting squished in there! :) But he looks great..

His size has him here anytime between April 18th.. and April 27th.. I think the 24thish! :) Place your bets now!

A quick Thank You..

To Aprils sweaters! That got me through this pregnancy!

Once I am done with them all I will wash, soften and put them in one of those cool suction bags for you to put in your closet :)

I feel like I am getting bigger...

Yet you cant see it in the pics.. I looked at 28,31 and 32 and dont see any difference :( but I can feel it and even DH said the other day I looked like I had popped again.. if this kid turns again I can see it looking bigger.. and I think I only peed like 3 or 4 times today.. I am shocked.. I didnt even wake up last night.. I am pretty sure I am drinking enough.. I just dont think hes on my bladder anymore! :) YAY!

Sleep is for the weak!

Saturday was officially a KICK YOUR ASS day! I had 3 shoots and then went and worked at Carters til 9.30! I got home and I was pretty beat.. Kent had had the day off, and so when I got home I got a big hug and I must have looked pretty beat. I told him how there was NO good snack food in the house, and how I had gotten up in the middle of the night and there was no crap to eat! LOL So we made cupcakes!

Then, as I am waddling around on my sore feet he says, "When you want number 2 I will remind you of this!" I looked at him and while we were both smirking said, it took you 32 weeks to say that! his response was, well.. I was hoping you would get pregnant and then realise how horrible it was and never want to do it again!, and YOU go and have an easy pregnancy and enjoy the whole thing! I realised I had enjoyed it, but Saturday had officially kicked my ass!

Sunday wasnt sooo bad.. still kinda busy.. and now I have 2 days off! so why was I wide awake at 6am with 5 hours of sleep... who the heck knows.. but I WILL be napping today! ;)

32 weeks!!!

Ever since I got pregnant my very experience sister in law has told me how I will worry about this pregnancy all the way through, and while the worry doesnt end as you progress, at 32 weeks her doctors have always told her, your golden! :)

All week I have been thinking yay 32 weeks this week! it feels like the end .. but with a few more weeks for good measure!

The whole experience really has been great, I have had no restrictions, apart from a few days of bedrest, which was probably a good idea at the time! It hasnt slowed me down, god forbid! Today I am doing 3 shoots and 4 hours at Carters! :) I also have 2 weddings left before this one pops out!

I am extremely thankful that I have had such a great pregnancy, it has allowed me to enjoy it, and probably made life easier on Kent! although he didnt get off scott free (hehe) hes experienced my share of melt downs, and exhaustion and screaming fits, not that they have happened too much!

More stuff!

So heres the dresser we got and the great knobs! I love them!

Oh and the bedding that I made is ALMOST done.. :)

The room just needs to be cleaned up now :) and we need a chair.. just not sure where that chair is going to go!!! hmmm

So here I am!

In all my maternityness! :)

I thought I would have a go at getting some pics while he was volleyball shaped.. and not HUGE! not bad for using the timer! :)

Not so big after all :)

Now that was a relief to mommys ears!! But you never know he may grow 2 pounds before next time :)

Mimi, April, Mason and I all went to meet Mr Hendrix today! It was so cool to see him, and today he was sucking his thumb constantly and getting quite cosy with the placenta! OH and hes head down now.. which I guess is good.. Just managed to scare me to death about labor again.. gotta get back to those books! :)

We got some good shots of him but this 2d profile was the best! I think he was sucking his thumb here too.. and his nose is kinda pushed into the placenta.. but its the lips that get me! and I realised tonight.. they remind me of cousin Noah! - take a peak at Lesleys blog to meet Noah.. and see his pretty face! I keep saying I hope to god I have a little boy like Mason and Noah.. Mason is laid back.. so far.. and Noah just as the most tender heart, I dont know that I could handle a boy with headstrong personality.. it would be all down to daddy!:)

Oh yea and heres me all round.. I swear it was like carrying around a volleyball today!! hes high and round for whatever reason.. I guess I am short and theres not many other places to go! LOL

30 week appointment..

Well I am actually 31 weeks today.. but its hard to schedule these things 2 weeks apart now!!!!

Anyway, All is well, I am measuring at 33 weeks, and he is in a breech position right now, where hes been most comfortable, This morning he may be more sideways.. LOL but still head up. We discussed my options if he stays that way. A C section I am actually fine with! :) Part of me wants to do everything right, Natural birth, breastfeed, but there is a part of me that would rather a C Section and Formula.. thats my selfish part I guess.. We will see what he decides hes running the show here, and I am sure he will pick whats best for both of us!

Pappaw also put in his first bid! he says April 21st, 8lbs 10oz and 20.5 inches long. Talk about make it real.. that made me a little nervous! Obviously if he is right.. it would be a somewhat natural labor etc.. as its a Saturday!

I am WAY TOO impatient!

I made an executive decision yesterday that I was just going to go and buy the dresser I have loved all along.. theres not much difference in cost.. and it matches the crib so well.. So I call Babies R Us and they have one and its the last one.. FATE I say! I get home, get Kent take off all excited that our baby room will look even more complete! When we get there they dont know what I am talking about! UGH.. The one that I like would have to be ordered.. it could take a week or 2 to come in.. why does this seem like FOREVER to me!

I decided to look around a little more this morning and with no luck I will just be ordering the one at BRU.. you watch it will take me 2 weeks to just order it now.. as I am also a procrastinator! LOL I cant win!

HOW BIG?

I went back for more pictures with Sara at www.ultrasona.com on Wednesday (at least I think it was Wednesday-who knows!) anyway we got some great images of Hendrix, I just havent had a chance to get them online yet! Anyway hes still cute, little nose, little lips.. Kent did mention.. wheres his ears.. so thats my next thing.. find his ears!!! Make sure they arent like daddies :) He mentioned today that all his features are recessive so chances are this kid will come out looking like his daddy, LUCKY BOY! :) Although he does have hair like daddy, a nice long mullet so far!!!

Anyway when measuring his head, it measured at ahead of what I am! Moving his date from May 6th to April 16th!!! So it seems he got a very large head from his daddy too! I do not pity Kents mother for delivering that head, but I may opt for a C section if the head gets THAT big!

so really its anything from 7 weeks to 10 weeks at this point.. its anyones game!!!
