Well I haven't blogged in awhile!!

Here we go. Today is a gloomy day in Missouri. The clouds are out and stormy weather is in the air. Yesterday it was in the upper 70s and wonderful. My son and I took a walk and went to see daddy at his bank. It is like 2 blks from where we live. My son loved it. Then we came back home and played in the dirt. He loves the dirt.

I have been really busy this past weekend. I got my angel baby's room all done. I also got my son's room done. If i knew how to download pics onto her, I would show some. Anyways, I also am finding a new found hobby. I am going to start making some hair bows that clip onto the headbands for girl babies-toddlers. they also can just be put into a little girls hair.

I am also getting ready for my son's birthday party. He is going to be 2. WOw, that is hard to believe. The day after that, my friend and my mom are throwing me a baby shower. I also picked up a bassinet yesterday that a really nice friend gave to me. She had triplets and is done having kids. So she gave this white wicker bassinet to me. We never had one with my son. He slept in bed with us. She will be too small, I imagine, to sleep with us. We might let her when she gets older. It is soooo much easier for the baby and me. We all get sleep. With my son, I would nurse him and fall asleep and so would he. I was there for him all night long. We would sleep until 8:ooam. When he was about 8months old, we put him in his own bed and stopped the nighttime nursings. It was tough for both of us. He finally got the hang of it. With her, we will just have to see how things go and what type of baby she is!!

Good News on the homefront. I had an MRI a week ago. I called for the results. THere is now sign of recurrence in the pelvic region. Husband and I were very excited about that. They also schedule the csection for May 21st. 9weeks away!!!! I am soo excited for this time to fly by and for her to be here. She is doing great. Her heartrate was in the 160s and as of last week, she was already 2lbs 2 oz. They will do growth scan ultrasounds periodically to ck on her. I am doing great. I am not gaining as much weight with her as I did with my son. That is a plus!! One thing that I was impressed by when we met with the Maternal Fetal Medicine Dr. (Dr that is going to deliver her) was that he suggest that I take along with my vitamins either fish oil, flax oil, or Expecta DHA Lipil capsules. These all contain Omega 3 Fatty Acids. These are great for baby's brain developement!!! I was suprised that he suggested taking this. I have never been told that. I was always afraid to take my flax oil!!

Well, I think that is enough updating for now. I will try to get on her more often. Oh yeah, my son is now obsessed with playdough I have to roll it into a ball and her carries it around all day!!!

Yesterday was a good day!!

Yesterday, I just keep wanting to clean everything. I guess it is the pretty sunshine that is peeping through the windows. It just puts me in a good mood. I get bored if I just sit around. I cleaned out the cabinets and swept the floor in all the rooms. We have wood floors throughout the whole house. Then, I went into my son's room and I painted on one wall the lyrics to "Take me out to the ballgame." This was really fun, but boy was I tired afterwards. My son was really good the whole time. He just played with all of his toys in his room. He only plays in his room if someone is in there too!! By the time I was done with that, I had enough time to watch a rerun of Beverly Hills 90210. Then, I washed my hair and got ready for my meeting. I am an Independent Consultant for a company who sells spa products and makeup. I pamper women. I had not seen any of these women for probably 2 months now. It was exciting to see my director and to see the new products and find out what is going on now. That got over about 9:00pm. I came home and was hoping that my husband would have started putting the crib up. He didn't, however, he did move a bookcase, wash dishes, and take care of our son. So, I kindly pouted around. Meaning hint, hint, I want the crib up. He waited about 20 min. Then he began bringing up the pieces of the crib into our angel baby's room. It took him no time to put it together. Then he helped me put all of the bedding in it. Can I just say, "It is so girly and cute!!" I can't wait for her to be here and see her in it. I know that she won't be in it for awhile. She will probably sleep in a bassinet beside our bed for awhile or in our bed!! We have not decided if we want to do that with her. It worked for my son. He did not have a horrible time transitioning. It took him a few days of crying. But he did it. Anyways, we got a lot done yesterday and still have more to accomplish.

You are my Sunshine.....

First of all, I am doing pretty good. I am getting around just great. I still can't lift my son. We will be going back to the dr next week to see a neonatologist, oncologist, get an ultrasound, see the maternal fetal medicine dr, and finally another MRI!!!

The sun is shining bright and early this morning. My son told me when he woke up, "Sunny." He is starting to learn a lot of words that end in Y. He now says mommy instead of mama. I think this new profound way of saying it is just so cute. He is getting so big. I can't believe that in just one month he is going to be 2 years old!!!! I can't believe that my baby is 2. Yesterday, I took him outside and he discovered that he likes playing with dirt. I taught him how to play with his cars in it. Just like a boy, he wipes his hands on his jacket and pants. He also seems to plot himself right down in the dirt to play. I told my husband that he needs a sandbox for his birthday. I think that he would really love it.

I am trying to get the house ready before I have this baby. I know it is another 2 more months but, I would rather get an early start. My dad and my husband painted my little angel baby's room a week ago. It is PINK!!! (I am going to refer to her as my angel because she basically saved my life. If I had not been pregnant, they probably would have not found that mass.)
So, I washed all the new crib set to get it ready for the crib. So far there is no crib up. Husband said that he will get it up by Sunday. I am going to hold him to that. Yesterday, I painted small letters for my sweet angel baby's name and put them on foam board and decorated it. i have yet to put ribbon on them to hang them up. But, I was impressed with my creativity yesterday. Once that is done, her room will be all done!!
My son's room is a sports theme. He loves any type of sports. I need to paint some things on his walls yet. I painted his wood letters primary colors the other day. I am going to attach ribbon and hang them from a bat. I will then anchor the bat on his wall. I know, I know, creativity strikes again!! LOL!! These are the only 2 rooms that need to be done. My brother is getting married June 2. My whole family on my mom's side is coming in. Some out of town friends as well. So, I am trying to get all of that done so they can see my house for the first time.

I had a great weekend. My husband finally ordered his wedding band. This is a man who never took his off. We went to a creek last year with our friends. My husband was holding our son. We got in the car to leave, and he noticed that it was gone. I thought that he was going to cry, he was so upset. He felt really bad. I eventually got over it. I now demanded that he get one before we have this baby!!! So there you go, he ordered one.
