BABY-Q Fun!!!

We had our BABY-Q yesterday with some family and friends. Everyone had a good time. The kids swam in the pool the whole time and wore themselves out. I sat in a chair and everytime I started to get up someone yelled and made me sit back down. We received some needed items for this new arrival and everybody was very generous. We appreciate having such great friends.
At my appointment on Friday things have progressed some more. Now I am 75% effaced, so therefore she said I am still on bedrest. This baby has to stay cooking until 37 weeks. I am 35 weeks and 4 days today. Hopefully this misery will only last a week and a couple of days more. It is not easy being forced to sit and lay for hours on end. My husband has been a blessing and doing everything for me and Peyton. He is now trying to rush and finish the babies room since obviously we do not have the time we thought we did.

34 Weeks 2 days and now on strict Bed Rest.

Went to my regular check up yesterday and mentioned some complications I thought were minor but landed me on strict 24 hour bed rest. Having contractions and already dilated and effaced more than 50%. This baby wants out but she is too early so here we are laying and sitting in a reclining position until scheduled date on October 16th. I hope we can keep her in until at least 37 weeks. We definently were not prepared for this or for her to come early. Tyler is now taking on everything. I guess he will learn to cook and do things around the house he is not used to doing. The main issue is Peyton. I cannot get up and go anywhere or play with her except on the couch. Now the scramble is on to get our house prepared since we thought we had a few more weeks.

33 weeks today and counting down

Today is week 33. This baby is coming in 6 weeks via scheduled delivery. If she decides to come a little early I will not mind. I think we will have to put her in some sort of dance classes because this kid has got some moves. She loves to be under my ribs and kick my hips all the time. I am getting anxious to see her and I wonder if she will have blonde peachfuzz and blue eyes like her sister when she is born. Our little Peyton, now 3, still is a toehead like her Daddy was until teenage years. She loves to tell people she has blue eyes like her Daddy and Mommy does not have blue eyes. She is starting to understand a little more about how Mommy is going to be going to the hospital to have the baby soon. The hard part for her and I will be the fact that we have never been apart like this before. She will have to go home without me for a few nights until I am released. Her and Daddy will be on their own. I am sure they will manage. I wish they had hotels specifically for birthing and families. That would be ideal so we do not have to be seperated.

30 weeks 4D

This is a picture of our new baby girl at 30 weeks. We are very excited and getting ready for her to join our family. Right now we are in the process of starting her room so it is ready when she decides to arrive. I know we are a little behind but with some motivation and lots of energy it will be done soon:) Our scheduled C-section date is October 16th @1:00 pm. Hopefully we can make it that long. Feeling pretty uncomfortable and huge. I might post some belly pics soon. Peyton is getting pretty excited and every time I go to the doctor she asks me when I come home if the baby is still in my belly or if I had to go to the hospital. It is very cute:)

Have not had much time lately to do anything. We have been keeping busy with work on the house (as usual). Right now we have workers on our roof putting on a new roof. That is the last thing we needed when our baby will be here very soon. I am starting to get to the point again to throw everything away and start over so there is no clutter or stuff laying around. Life with one child is hard enough and I know once this one is born it is going to be double the work. Peyton I am sure will be a big help. She loves to help mommy all the time and is now cleaning her own stuff. Let's just hope it stays that way. We are still contemplating names for this little girl. It just does not seem as easy this time. She will have this name the rest of her life. We are trying to incorporate Tylers family in the name somehow. Looking forward to this weekend with July 4th plans with friends. I have Monday off work too:)) yipppeee!
Peyton has reached a big milestone this weekend. She now can swim without her floaties or her life vest. We have been working with her for weeks almost everyday and she swam from one end of the pool to the other on Saturday. She jumps in the deep end and brings herself back up and keeps on going. It gets hard for her after awhile because she gets so tired, but soon she will be a pro like her daddy.

We got a look at our new baby today. She had no trouble letting us know what gender she was. Now we have to figure out a name for her. Peyton is very excited. She enjoyed seeing the pictures of her new sister. We still have some stuff from when Peyton was little so this weekend I am going to try and go through it to see what we need.

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend has been pretty relaxing. I am starting to feel the baby move around alot everyday now. I am 18wks 3 days today. We have another U/S coming June 2nd so we will see if this child is going to be stubborn again and hide their genitals. This pregnancy has gone by fast this time. Having another child already keeps you busy and not focusing on every little tiny thing during pregnancy. Peyton keeps us on our toes. She is a very busy little bee that we sometimes cannot keep up with. She is definently just like her Daddy is so many ways.
