AND.....

Still no Jackson. So I felt really good all weekend. Saturday I cleaned. And cleaned. And cleaned. But don't worry I do this every Saturday. But I did clean in weird areas. Then me and Matt went out to eat at my favorite Outback. Just me and him time. Sunday was great! I felt good and we were going to church! Except my feet and ankles were so swollen that the only shoes I could wear were my flip flops. But it was nice. And all the babies. It's so funny how all the couples at church got married within weeks apart and now there are babies right next to each other. I've seen Brooklyn, Isabella, and Blair and I finally got to see Tanner, cutie! So after church I gave Matt his fathers day cards and present without Jackson. Thanks on that one. Then we went out to eat, Matt wanted me to put here that we had our first relationship break through.... I picked were we ate. (While waiting we went to Penny's and we got Jackson some cute outfits and me my first pair of non prego pants!) Anyway on our way home we stopped at the Jerry's grave site. It still bothers us because I know Jerry would have been a great, grandfather to Jackson. But I know through all the stuff he taught Matt, Matt is going to be a wonderful father. Ok back to before, before it really gets me going. We cooked out (ok sorry Matt) Matt cooked out and everyone came over. Mom, Dad, Carrie, and Kayla. Our neighbors, Shawne, Hank and Lana (straight in from Africa). It was nice having everyone over since we haven't seen much of anyone since I have been in 9 month prego hiding. But I felt great this weekend. I had contractions off and on all day Sunday. But nothing really. But this morning a whole different story. Sorry Sandy got to sleep in :) And sorry to Alicia ( know you all are reading this while you should be working...), Kathy and Diane didn't have him on your days, and Nick it doesn't look like I'm going to have him on your day either. But I woke up this morning with still swollen feet and of course getting sick. But we're ok and we keep telling are self that we only have to wait 1 more week because if the stinker don't come they'll induce me on the 25th. But I told Matt Sunday if Jackson is anything like his Mommy, he'll be late! TRUE TRUE!!!

Oh sorry no pictures lately I have the camera packed away hoping someone will come soon!

My Energy (I think)

So everyone keeps telling me that you will feel like crap and then wham! One day you'll wake up feeling great and nesting and all that stuff. Soooo...I woke up this morning feeling great. I can't say I'm nesting because I have been doing that through the whole pregnancy and before I got pregnant. Everyone at work even noticed. I didn't drag my bottom in like have been doing for the past few weeks. So I'm hoping this is my burst of energy. Today was my last day at work. Sorry Vicky! I know you all will miss me. But I decided that if I didn't have him this weekend like I am praying for, I will be to depressed to come in Monday, and my feet cannot take it anymore. So will see if this whole energy stuff is true or another way to get our hopes up. Oh this is too cute and Matt might get mad at me for telling but last night Matt was trying to talk Jackson out and everytime he said "why don't you come out!"" Jackson kept kicking his face. Too cute and too funny. I know he is just as excited as me and is going to make an excellent father. Until then it's kinda fun waiting but not too fun! We are ready for him too join us, but not until he's ready :)

Last Night

So last night was a horrible night!! I took a shower before going to bed thinking that it might relax me and I could sleep good, Wrong!! I woke from a dead sleep thinking ok I do not feel good. I went and got sick, Shocker these days :( And then it struck, Heartburn. I thought it was going to burn a hole right through me. I get heartburn every once in a while and it doesn't seem to bother me much. But last night it brought me to tears. Between getting sick and heartburn I was up most of the night. Luckily my doctor had RX me some Pepcid and I took that but it didn't go into effect until a hour later. But then I slept for most of the night sitting up not FUN! And surprising Matt did not wake up once. I end up sleeping in and went into work for a little while but I was so tired and my stomach hurt so bad. But anyways I am really hoping Jackson comes before Father's Day. It would be the best gift ever. I just keep thinking about it and I would want nothing more than a healthy baby boy for wonderful husband first father's day. Tomorrow night is a new moon, and my mom said that she was born on a Friday and I was born on Friday. So hopefully Jackson will come Friday the 15th. And I'm sure Alicia would like that because tomorrow is her day in the pool. But I guess will have to see. I feel like I'm getting closer but I don't want to get my hopes up. But no matter what comes I will become a Mommy and Matt a Daddy in a eleven days or less!

Ok, Any Day Now?

I went to the doctor this afternoon and she said that I was at least 2 possibly even 3 cm dilated. So she said "Any day now!" Well we'll see. She said she would be surprised if I go to my due date and if I went over she wouldn't let me go a full week over. THANK YOU!! She would induce me on the 25th. So if he decides he doesn't want to come out I only have a little over a week to hold out. Hopefully he'll come soon. I only gained 1 pound but I think it is all in my hands and feet. But total it's only 6 over my original weight yeah! Hopefully I can be able to wear a bathing suit in August when we go to the beach :) We'll keep you updated!!

Still No Jackson

OK with 9 more days I'm feeling it. We are just sooooooo ready! I go to the doctor tomorrow, so will see what she has to say. I don't think I have gained anymore because I'm back to the same o' being sick all the time. I don't eat much because the thought makes me sick. I don't feel like doing much of anything. I don't even wanna go shopping anymore! SHOCKER!!!!! I cut back the hours at work because an 8 hour day seems to be 20 for me, and my ankles and hands seem to agree. I'm sure the girls at work are glad that I did too. They hear me complain enough about being sick and not feeling like doing anything and me sleeping 15 hours a day. And every time someone (customers mainly) walks through the door. "You still haven't had that baby yet!" Well if I did do you think I would be here!!! You all will miss me for 6 weeks :) And of course I've let down half the people at work because the day they picked in the baby pool has come in gone. Well Matt has tomorrow, come on Jackson!! I just don't hope I have anymore of the weird dreams. I had one where he came out a girl, one was a normal delivery, and the last one was they had to do an emergency c-section because he was 9 1/2 pounds and 30 inches long. SCARY!!!!! We'll let you know how the appt. goes tomorrow!

Still Here

Ok now 12 more days. I'm guess I'm getting through them ok. Contractions come and go. They stay a little while then stop :( Last night I had one that was really painful so I guess that's what I have to look forward too YEAH! I haven't been feeling great today (very nausea) but I'm trying to get the house clean for are little vistor. So I decided to check out everyones updated blogs. (Except Alicia's :) Ha Ha! But it get's me more and more excited to see everyone else's blog with adorable and proud pictures of the kids. I just can't wait!! Everyone has gotten so big it kinda makes me sad too because I know it will go by so fast. It's also weird because with all the blogs with the little ones in it including my cousins there all little girls! Well except Rhett and Jak. But all and all I'm so excited. I think I've already said that but we are so excited. We are going out to eat with everyone tonight so I can't wait we haven't been doing much since I haven't been feeling good and me & Matt are trying to spend time together. But I can't wait to see Lynlee and Nolan. I'm sure they have gotten so big.
