35 Weeks!!

This marks an important week in the pregnancy. I gave birth to Toby on this day (the first day of my 35th week) and I gave birth to Avery on the last day of my 35th week...aka this up coming Saturday, so if I make it to next Sunday, I will go further than I ever have! Wow that's just crazy to think that! I am hoping and praying that I do. Aunt Lori wants me to make it to April 2nd...I hope I do!!! I told Richard I am afraid that he's nice and happy now and they are going to force him to come out now! As long as he won't be a NICU baby I will be happy! Keeping my fingers crossed I can make it to next week!!! Wish me luck!

Last Shot!!!! Up Next? Baby!!!

This is my shot & the vile of progesterone and my Nifedipine

Richard getting the shot ready

All done! Yay!!!!!! No more shots!

Yup Yup I am a total geek......and I don't care!

So tonight I got my final progesterone shot! And as of today I no longer take my Nifedipine pills! The progesterone will be in my system for a week. What it does it prevents contractions from coming so this time next week my body will most likely start to contract more because I won't be getting my shot and the fact that I am no longer taking my Nifedipine pills either I will be having alot of contractions! I don't know when he will come but he could still easily come on Avery's birthday! Everyone says that it wouldn't be fair for Avery but I think it would be cool! I am happy whatever day he decides to come AFTER the 25th of March. As much as I complain about being uncomfortable each day he's in my belly is 2 less days he would be in the NICU! So I will just put up for it longer! He still moves around ALOT, as I type it feels like he is opening and shutting his hands. Keeping my fingers crossed, I am so excited to NOT have a NICU baby to be able to have anyone and everyone come up and visit us up at the hospital! I will keep you all posted!!!!

Me & My Kids....

In the first picture is me and Avery, I wanted to show how tall he is compared to me, now I stand a whole 5'3 and he's only 5 (basically 6) and see how tall he is? I will take a picture of him on his birthday and compare it to the picture from last year and see how much he has grown. The next picture I wanted to get a picture of me and both boys, but as you can see Toby wasn't having any of the picture taking fun, yes I am a mean Mom and still made him be apart of the picture even though he's throwing a huge fit! I was laughing...that's cause I'm such a meanie! hahahahahahahaha.....

So When Will Baby Number 3 Arrive?

I posted something on my Facebook asking people when they think Baby Boy number 3 will come, and I got A LOT of guesses! I spoke with my doctor's office this morning and at least for the next 2 weeks we are good to go that the baby will NOT come (99.9% sure at least) but that doesn't mean I don't get contractions! I am trying to wein (spelling?) myself off of the Nifedipine this week because as of Sunday, March 14th my doctor wants me to go cold turkey and stop taking it all together. It's a medicine I take once every 6 hours, and I have been doing so since I was 26 weeks, so my body is quite use to the pills, so the only time I do take them this week is when the pain starts to get to much for me to handle...next week however.....yeah.....and this up coming Sunday I take my final shot! Yay!!!!! The shot will be in my system for a week, so starting the 21st of March I have a feeling I will not be the best mood...just giving people heads up! Anywho here are the guess's from my facebook posting. I wanted to post it that way I didn't lose the piece of paper with all the dates. If you didn't post anything on my Facebook but want to take a guess leave me a comment and I will update here as well. More than one person can guess on a day. Whoever wins will get a prize, nothing huge but it's been fun seeing all the guess's! Here is the list so far. Also just as an FYI the way we got Toby to give us a date was we put a calendar in front of him and he pointed to a date...Also FYI my due date is still currently April 25th. And as of yesterday he weighs 4lbs and 8oz, and I was 33 weeks and 3 days yesterday! Oh and the prize is NOT to keep the baby....Just in case your wondering...and yes I was asked that already!!! As of Today....45 Days Left!!!!

Thank you soo very much! I can't wait to hear from you and see if you like the items I sent you!!!

Big Boy Bed!

Toby has been in his big boy bed for a while now I just keep forgetting to take a picture of it. He has switched to the big boy bed from the crib just fine! He stays in the bed all night and during nap time! It's awesome! I would about die if he decided to wonder around after I put him down. Thankfully he hasn't mastered the door open but even if he did I put a gate up by the door before the stairs...just in case! Avery wanted me to take a picture of his bed to show off his awesome Transformer sheets....He LOVES them still!!!

Papa Mower

These boys sure do love their Papa!!

Animals

This is what the animals like to do when they are in the office with us. The cat is sleeping on a envelope I had just thrown away he grabbed it out of the garbage and then decided to take a nap on it...The dogs above decided to play nice and take a nap on top of each other. This is very rare for them to be this nice so I decided to take a picture of them. Normally they are running around the house like crazy animals!

RIP Jamie

Avery has a older sister and brother. Their Mom and I have stayed in contact over the years after the kid's dad moved back to New York 3 years ago. We haven't talked to each other in a while and recently caught with with each other. She made plans to come to Avery's birthday party and I had just talked to her this week. Last night she called me, I didn't answer and sent a text saying I was on the phone and see what was up...I got a text back stating it was her brother and I needed to call her. He then called me right away and said that Jamie had passed away but didn't go into full details as to how she had died. I am sad that she passed away mainly because of the kids. They don't have a relationship with their Dad and now their Mom is gone I worry because I don't know what is going to happen with them, because I don't know if her parents have the ability to take care of them, does that mean if they can't get ahold of Dad they go into foster care? It's also an eye opener to me that if something does happen to me or Richard or both we need to have something set up to take care of the kids. Thankfully we have a big enough family that I know they will be well taken care of, these kids are not as lucky. I am going to the funeral tomorrow and I am hoping I can get a picture of the kids together. I will post any pictures that I get....RIP Jamie you will be missed

Yup He Loves His Daddy

Pretty sure the feeling is mutual...just a thought.....
