Looking Hot!!!!


OK, maybe not hot. But hot for a 24 year old pregnant woman. Just kidding. Yes I wore a tank top today, as some people think I'm nuts but I'm pregnant and like I said before that vetos all weird stuff. Like getting a blizzard at 10am or when it's 10 degress outside. So I have 12 weeks left until we get to hold little Jackson:) Getting more and more excited. I've been looking at the other blogs of some friends I know and seeing those cute little pictures just gets me so anxious. The pastor at our church and his wife just had their baby and reading about all the cute little praise they give her is so cute and funny, but I know we will do it too. And I know that the whole getting no sleep is about to come but I really don't care. Ok I care a little, and maybe Matt too( oh who I'm kidding), but just holding him well be worth all the no sleep. I'm really starting to feel him move alot more without just sitting calm or laying down. The girls at work noticed today the weird postion that he favors with either his butt or something at the top of my stomach sticking out it looks so funny :) Oh, I have to call the doctor tomorrow they left a message so I'm guessing that it's about my blood work from my Glucose test, so cross your fingers that everything turned out ok. I'll let you know.

I Hope It's Not Coming Back

So I think I'm feeling the whole getting further along now. This weekend I really started feeling it. Saturday I started feeling nausea again and for most of the day. Now I'm getting were I can hardly eat anything with out feeling like I'm going to get sick. I just hope I'm not getting sick again like I was in my 1st Trimester. Then of course I'm really tired alot, most of day, ok all the time. I took 5 naps Sunday. After sleeping for 10 hours the night before. I notice that I'm getting out of breath easier too. And I'm feeling like crying at stupid things. Like this morning I wanted to cry because I was so tired. Stupid I know but what are you going to do. This weekend we planned our trip to North Carolina in August after Jackson is born. I can't wait we are going to see Matt's brother and his family. The whole crew is going it will be great. Oh dad got to feel him hiccup today. That was the first he felt him move. I think he was pretty excited. I will post some pictures soon. I don't think I've really grown that much?

Oh, Today Was Fun

So I went this morning for my Glucose Test. Ok the orange drink wasn't as bad as what everyone said it was going to be. The way everyone talked it sounded like I would open the bottle and a smell a sewage plant in there. It actually tasted like orange. I would take that over Root Beer any day. Well I got there and I still haven't gained all of the weight back that I have lost. I still have 3 more pounds before I will be back at the weight I was before. Yeah! But at the rate I'm going or growing about 1 pound a week. Which the doctor said thats fine. So they took my blood and then sent me over to the hospital to get my RhoGam shot once again. When I got over there I actually had to sign in and get the braclet and all that stupid stuff. Then I had to walk over to the lab and give them the blood. She said it would be 45 mins before they would have the shot ready. So I went and got a Cherry Coke and Butterfinger (Yum @ 10:00am) and waited. 45 mins later she told me they had to run more test on my blood so it would be another hour. SOOO, I left went home and let the dogs out because Matt worked last night from 3 pm -7am and I didn't want him to wake up. Waited around and went back. When I got there she said the shot was ready I could go down to ambulatory care. She said the antibodies showed from the last shot so that threw off my blood type. Then I remembered the card they gave my after my first one. I was supposed to give them that to Show I Was RH - . Stupid Stupid!! So anyway I got the shot but had to wait to make sure I was feeling fine. So that took up half the day. Luckily I took off today. So that was the fun part of my morning/afternoon. So now I am off to go shopping I have to find a new body pillow after the dogs/babies torn mine up this morning.

Ok Things Got A Little Better

Last night I watched a video my aunt made from my parents aniversary party. It's great looking back on it even though it was just 2 months ago. But it was crazy to see how much a have grown in the past months. Today we meaning Matt (and me making my life better) found out Tubby left UK. For those of you who don't care you don't know how bad this has been going on in my household. So this means Matt is going to be in a lot better mood :) As long as they hire a good coach. Oh and I forgot to mention that my mom got to feel Jackson kick the other night. Even though he wasn't being as active she felt him move. She said it's not declared a kick until you almost see his foot coming through my skin. Just don't let dad know he hasn't got to feel him kick either, or Matt's mom. Well I guess I'm going to bed. I didn't get to have my ice cream today:( I'm trying to watch my sugar. Tomorrow Glucose test. Yeah!!! :(

Well Everything WAS Calm!

As the most of you know we have had a bumpy year, well of course everything has been calm for the past 2 weeks and everything was going pretty good so I just knew something or somethings would happen soon to make up for it. And It Did!! Monday I had to take Lady to the vet (who just had surgery for the large tumor she had) because she had a skin allergy and broke out in a rash. Which of course is our baby (yes baby not Dog) I really did act like a mom! Which this in turn didn't turn out to bad. Then Tuesday Matt called and said something was wrong with his car ( And being the expert mechanic I am totally knew what to do, HA HA) Then he calls back and something snapped and blew his tire. So of course that had to get fixed $$$$. All right before his car will be paid off! But as much as we been threw we just keep on smiling. But back to baby talk! He has really been moving around and in really weird positions. My stomach is still small for 7 mths, so you can see my stomach moving alot. Pretty neat (Ok maybe not so much but for me it's neat) I go for my glucose test Friday after of course I went to Kroger on Sunday and bought 5 different kinds of ice cream and all kinds of Easter candy:) Matt was yelling at me to stop buying junk food. Which some of you know he has been on a diet since January and might I say doing very well with it! I can't believe the will power he has to live w/ a pregnant woman and be on a diet! But ya my new thing is eating ice cream. I have to and I mean have to eat ice cream everyday. Just ask Matt or the girls at work. Tonight a milkshake! I'll let you know how things go Friday!

These Are Our Babies For Now!!
Molly May
Lady Jean & Abigail Rose

Welcome To The Group!!

Lynlee Elizabeth Braun

This is the newest addition to our group. Lynlee Elizabeth. Josh and Julianne brought her over last night for everyone in the group to see her again. She is such a cutie!!! Everyone just loves her to death and of course every time we see her and hold her, it just makes us more anxious to see and hold Jackson. I just got so excited just holding her and rocking her quietly to sleep. I just hope Jackson will be the same. Matt was holding her and it was just too funny. His arm of course was twice the size of her and it looked like with one little squeeze he could crush her. We all got to sign her little cast that she has to wear because of her club foot. I feel so bad for her but of course she acts like it doesn't even bother her. She is such a little trooper. I just can't wait for all of our kids Lynlee, Jackson, and Nolan to grow up together. Julianne brought up how funny it is going to be when we all go out anymore with 12 people in our group and 3 babies. Everytime we go out it will be a table for 15. Oh My!!

Another Look

Well we went to the doctor today for our 2nd ultrasound. First of all I about died. They were running behind so of course it seemed like forever before I got back there and it felt like Jackson was playing trapoline on my little pregnant bladder after 2 full bottles of water. FUN FUN. You know you would think that they would know that a pregnant woman isn't going to be happy with you with a full bladder and your running behind. Oh well! I just love complaning! But anyways everything went great she said his heart looked good (that was what they wanted to look at). Oh and we got to see his little lips. He had the Heintzman smile. This is a look that only Matt and his Dad had but only me and Carrie know about. It's really hard to explain it. But Oh Trust Me Mothers and Wives Know!!!! His weight is at 2 pounds. It's so crazy they can tell what his weight is by the ultrasound. But everything is right on schedule for my due date. Tomorrow I will be 26 weeks. Do you believe next week I will be in my 3rd Trimester. I can't believe it. I've been feeling nausea again in the mornings and at night. I just hope I don't go back to 1st -5th months again. I guess I'm going to have to start taking my meds again. Believe it, I haven't took anything for the past 2 WEEKS! I go back next week to the doctor for my Glucose test. Oh I'm sure this will be fun. Matt said he was going to skip this one. I don't think he wants to sit around while I get blood drawn. I know I sure don't. But I will keep you all posted.

Still Growing

Well everything is going great. Nothing has been news worthy. He is still moving around a lot. I just think he is getting bigger but I'm not. It's been really nice everyone telling me how awesome I look for being 6 months. It's been crazy this past week baby wise. Julianne had her baby last Tues. and 2 ladies from our church had their baby girls this week. 3 babies in one week. CRAZY. 3 girls already born and the last 3 girls pregnant or all having boys. Last week we bought Jackson this cute little suit for my cousins wedding in October. He is going to look so handsome. I can't wait to get pictures of him and his little cousin Isabel. I'm sure Nici is going to have her a dolled up too. We go for our 2nd Ultrasound Weds. I can't wait to see his cute little face again and to see how much he has grown. I just pushing for June to get here. 15 weeks left!!!!!!
