31 Weeks

ok ok, I know I have been horrible about blogging. We have just been so busy. As soon as I get home from work I am just so tired I don' t feel like doing anything. I am 31 weeks. Only 9 more to go. I am on the count down. We head back to the doctor on tuesday and just a regular check up and then I will start going every two weeks. I have a 4D ultrasound scheduled for Oct. 18th and I can not wait. I can't wait to see his little face. I do beleive he is going to be just like BJ due to all the hiccups he gets at different times in the day. Bj's mom told me Bj got the hiccups all the time as well. Well so far I have gained 19lbs and I feel huge. Man it is a big difference to carry almost 20 lbs around. The only complaint I have is that I can not breath out of my nose and it is driving me crazy. My pregancy book says the inside of your nose tends to swell up and makes it hard to breath out of it. I am not a mouth breather either. lol



Hunting season as offically started and I will be a deer widow till Noah gets here on the weekends. I did tell bj he will have to cut his hunting weekends to his parents house to be closer by middle of November. I told him I didn't want him to be a hour away incase I go into labor early.



Noah is getting to know Bj voice now cause everytime Bj talks to him Noah moves. My mom got to feel him move for the first time the other day. He would never move for her when she would put her hand on my belly.



We pretty much have Noah's room ready for him. I still want to put something up on his wall about God but I haven't thought of a perfect bible verse yet. Baby showers will start this weekend and I am so excited about that.



Here is a picture of me at 31 Weeks.

20 Weeks

I am 20 Weeks today. I am half way, and I feel great. The only think I am not liking about the whole pregnacy is the raging hormones. I can be in a great mood one second and then instantly in a really bad mood or crying. I am not my self at all. I find myself being very irritable alot. I love my growing belly. It makes me happy to see that he is growing. I started to feel him move. I felt his first movement about 2 weeks ago. It feels like my stomach is twitching. Now I can feel it on the outside now. Bj still hasn't been able to feel it cause everytime Noah starts to move bj is not around or asleep.

I forgot I have not blogged in awhile. We went to find out the sex of the baby and It a Boy!!!! When we got to find out, My mom, Bj and bj's mom all got to go with us. Bj's mom started crying and my mom thought it was so neat. It is so amazing what God can do. I am so grateful for what God has done for us in our lives. We decided to name him Noah James. He is very healthy and everything looks great. I did find out that I do have two placenta's. I was pregnant with two but one died and the placenta didn't come out so I will carry it all the way. I didn't ask the doctor about it cause I was on cloud nine when I found out he was healthy. We go back to the doctor August 3rd so that is when I will ask all about it. I don't know if it will get bigger as Noah grows or if it is carrying blood and if it will take up some of Noah's room in there.

We almost finished Noah room. We decided to do it in razorback theme. As soon as we found out we started on it. Our guest room, which is Noah's room now was already in razorback so we decided to stick with it. I went to garage sales this past weekend and bought so many clothes for him. Some still had tags on them. Here on some pics of his room and me at 20 weeks.

Me at 20 weeks. I have gained 9 lbs already.

Me and Bj redid this dresser. We sanded it down and painted it black. We have to go buy silver handles for it and put it on there now. Bj is very proud of it. I thought it turned out pretty good. Bj said he would like to do one for his brother travis when they get Zander's room for him. He really enjoyed doing it. These are half of the clothes I bought for Noah at the garage sales. The other half are in the drawers. It was so much fun doing that. I can't wait to start dressing him.

Baby update at 16 weeks

We went to the doctor today and he said everything looks great. The heartbeat was 156 beats a minute. The doctor said it sounds like a girl but who knows. We get to find out what we are having on July 6th at 8:30 in the morning. I can't wait. I am so excited. I just hope the baby will cooperate. My mom and Bj's mom is going to be able to go the the doctor with us when we find out so I am glad they can be involved in it as well. I just pray to God that our baby will be healthy and everything will got great. It is all in God's hands and what he has in plan for us. I am feeling much better during this trimester. I have bad acid reflux but I guess I better get used to that. I can still wear my clothes but I am wearing the bella band to cover up the upbutton and zipped pants. I don't want to go out and buy alot of materity clothes since I will be the biggest in the winter.

this is at 16 weeks preggo.

Me and bj bought me a new car. I am so excited. I got a 2009 Nissan Altima. Its white. I love it, and Bj loves it too since he can drive it now. My honda was a standard and he could not drive it. It is a mommy car.

As soon as we find out what we are having we are going to start doing the baby's room. We got the crib in already, it just needs to be put together. I keep going in the room and looking at it in the box. I can't wait to start doing that. I will post pics when that is ready.

Second Trimester!!!

yeaaaa, I made it to second trimester. I hope everything starts to feel alot better during this trimester. It really has not been too bad but it just seemed like the further long I got the more I got sick at night. I have learned I can not let myself get starving and let myself get over stuffed. Bj has been great. Everytime I do get sick he always brings me a wet wash cloth.



We did go to the dr. on the May 20th. We got to hear the heart beat. It was 150 beats per minute. It was so great to hear that. It was a big relief to hear it. Bj asked me after we left the dr. " how did he not know it was your heart beat?" I told him my heart don't beat that fast. He said oh yea. lol The dr. found the heart beat right away. He told me I was in the pudgy stage. haha He said ether people are thinking she is eating alot more or she is pregnant. I can' wait to really start having a belly to know I am pregnant cause right now I just look like I ate too many cookies. Here is a picture at 13 weeks and 4 days. I'm not

showing very much I know but I feel like it. I did just got buy the bella band. I love it. It is really comfortable. It holds up unbutton and zipped pants. I did go buy tennis skirts and some sun dresses to wear during the summer so when I do get alittle bigger I won't have to worry about pants. Winter will be another story.

We will got back to the dr. on the 24th of this month. We get to find out what we are having anytime after July 4th. So I am hoping the dr. will make a special appt to find out instead of waiting four more weeks after dr. appt. I will be 16 weeks when we do go back to see the dr. Bj did tell me that he wants to go to every dr. appt so I was excited that he wants to do that. I am so glad he is getting invloved and he keeps rubbing my belly and talking to Noah as he says it is. haha

We just bought our crib and mattress today for the nursery. I am so excited. I can't wait to get everything set up and find out what we are having so I can go shopping and decorate.

We have been going to the lake alot this summer and it has been a blast. We had a scare last weekend. I started to bleed but called dr. and he said everything was fine and it stopped right away. We were both so scared but it is all in God's hands and it's his plan. Bj will not let me go on the boat anymore but I don't blaim him. Our boat is really bouncy so we don't want to take a chance. So instead me and bj's grandma when shopping. I learned that when you are pregnant you do burn alot easier, and let me tell you. I roasted my back. I have to be careful now more than normal. Memorial Day this year was a blast. We had alot of family time and it was great hanging out with family and enjoying the lake.

Me and Bj just went to our first 3D movie at the imax. I know, I know, we have waited this long to go to one. It was amazing. We went and saw shrek the final chapter. It was so much fun. It was great just spending time with each other and enjoying a movie.

close to the second trimester

Well I am getting alot closer to the second trimester. I am 11 weeks this week and we get to go back to the doctor this week. We are going on thursday and bj gets to go with me this time. We will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat this time. I am so excited. It will be a relief to hear that so I know that he or she is growing. We have decided on the names of a boy or girl. Which is a miracle cause me and bj hardly agree on anything. lol If it is a girl her name will be Kloee or Kloie. Haven't decided how to spell it yet. If it is a boy it will be Noah. We haven't thought of a middle name for Noah yet but we have one for Kloie. We are not saying till we find out for sure what we are having. First trimester has not been that bad. I do get tired more now and have gotten sick a few mornings and nights. I learned I can not eat spicy food at night becasue it makes me sick. Can't drink a coke or grape juice right when I get up cause does the same thing.

Well I already feel big and I know I know, just wait and see when I get really big. I am starting to get a little pooch. Not much of one though.

Bj finds out this wedensday what his raise will end up being. He is so excited and loves his new job. He is not used to being in a office all day. He finally learned all the parts to it and likes it very well.

Mother's day was a very good day. We went to church and then to Bj's grandparents house and then to my brother's house for my mom's side of the family. I got my first mother's day present. It was so nice cause I really didn't think about it. My brother's girlfriend got me a card and a plant in a pot that had happy Mother's day on it. I am so ready to be a mom and have a little one and have the relationships my mom has with her kids. My mom is very close to me and my brother. My mom is my best friend. I can't wait to be a mom and raise my kids the way my mom has raised me and has been a great role model.

Update in our lives

Update: Well we are not having twins, it is just one baby. Thank you lord. I was so relieved. We got to have an ultrasound when we went to the doctor. I had to drink 48 ounces of water before the ultrasound and could not go to the bathroom before ultrasound. My ultrasound was at 9:00 in the morning. So I started drinking my water at 6:00 that morning and was going to finish the rest on my way to work. Well it hit me on the way to work and I was almost in tears. Had to go to the bathroom and start drinking again. We ended up having to have a transvaginal ultrasound so drinking all that water did not mean anything. We got to see the baby and the heart beat. The heartbeat was 138. Very good. It was so neat to see that. Bj's face was priceless when he saw it. It felt more real to him now. I was relieved when I saw the baby. Since I haven't had very few pregnancy symptoms. I have been getting sick some few mornings. I did get sick last week every morning. I haven't been really tired but I do go to bed at 9 or 9:30 but thats normal for me anyways. We are due December 8th. I have been getting alot of headaches though. So far my first trimester has not been that bad. My next appt. is May 20th and I will be 11 weeks by then. I will be 9 weeks on wed. I bought my first box of diapers today. Girls at work told me to start buying diapers every trip I make to walmart now. They are not cheap. I can't wait to start getting the baby room together and start buying stuff.

We also have so great news to share. Bj got a huge promotion at work this week. He was working and the vice president ran him down at work and told him he had alot of initiative working. An hour later they called him in his office and offered him a job being inventory manager over the whole warehouse where he is working. He moved up 5 positions. He will have his own office and they told him he will be making ALOT more money. He was so excited. He has only been at his job for a month. There is only one more spot to move up to and that is a salesman. God is really working in our lives everyday. That fell at the perfect timing in our lives. God really knows what he is doing with our lives.

Exciting News!!

Well I went to the Dr on thursday of last week, I told yall now we just have to wait and see what my body does. Well on day 37, which was the day before I had to go to the dr. I decided to take a test before I went to the dr on thursday. Well I woke up really early cause I could not sleep. I went and took a test and.... it came back POSTIVE. I was not believing it. I looked at it again and then got so excited. I went and woke BJ up and asked him if he was ready to be a dad. He didn't beleive me at first till I showed him the test. He wanted me to go take another just in case. So I did and it came back the same thing. Well we decided not to tell anyone till I went to the doctor the next day to confirm it. Went to the dr and he said I was really pregnant. He told me I was only a month pregnant so I have to got back on April, 22 for a ultrasound to make sure we are not having twins. Because I took that fertality drug there is a 25 percent chance. God answered our prayers and we are so grateful for it. I could not quit thinking God for this answered prayer. Now I am just praying for a healthy baby. When I go back to the dr. I will be 6 weeks and two days. I am just praying there is something there and a heart beat. I know God got us this far that he will take care of us whatever he has in plan for us. I have been sick a few mornings, but thats about it. I havn't been really tired yet or anything. I will let yall know what the ultrasound reveals in two weeks. Just keep us in your prayers.

alittle stressed and depressed

Well my body did its thing before I had to head to the doctor. Which was a relief. I got put on Clomid, which is a fertality drug. yes there is a small chance of twins but only a small. I had to only take if for five days. Hopefully it will make me ovualate and be regular. Now We are just waiting. I do go back to the doctor next week on the 8th. So we shall see what he says. I got depressed last week and bj told me we were in this together and not blaiming each other for this. Made me feel alittle better but its just so hard to see everyone else around me becoming parents or getting pregnant. Not that I am not happy for them cause I am but its hard not to be jealous and wanting it too.


My parents are going to get a divorce and that plays a big tow on me as well. It is so hard because for birthdays we always go out to eat or my mom cooks as a family and my birthday is next week. So we wont have a family get together for the first year so it will be very hard. So I chose to go to lunch with my mom and my nana on my birthday. Bj is going to take me to dinner that night. I can't beleive I am turning 25. I feel like I am 16 still.


Mom's body scan results came back and there was no cancer anywhere else. That was a answered prayer. God is really helping me through all of this crazy life right now. If I did not have him I would not know where to begin.


We had a girls weekend this past weekend at the lake house. There was 8 of us and we had a great time. We played games and we went to eat at fisherman's warf saturday night and played more games. We all just got away and had a great time.

God will take care of us, he always does

Mom went in last week to get her other side of her thyroid taken out. She did very good. Good news is the results came back and there was no cancer in that side. God answered a prayer. We are very blessed. She now has to go on a iodine diet for 7 to 10 days. You don't realize how much stuff has iodine in it. She can only eat 5 oz of meat a day. She said she will be in a horrible mood cause she can't eat anything. Then she goes in for outpatient to get her radiation pill. The reason she has to go on that type of diet is cause the radiation pill loves iodine and if her body is starved of it then it will go straight to the source. Then after that she has to get a body scan to make sure cancer is not anywhere else and then she will start her thyroid meds. Then she will be in the clear with lots of medical bills which she is very stressed over. But I know God got her through this and he will get her through that.

I went to my primary care doctor last wesenday cause bj kept telling me I needed to go get a physical since I have never recieved one before. Well I went and the doctor told me my aorta is very prominant in my stomach. So I had to go get an ultrasound and haven't recived the results back in yet.

Well me and bj have been trying to have a baby for almost a year now. Well I got off the pill last april. I was on the pill for seven years and had a period every month. Well I was irrigular before i got put on the pill. Now that i got off the pill I do not have a period. My OBGYN told me to wait 9 months to see if I start on my own. I finally did at 9 months and the dr. said I should be good to go. Well now it is day 59 and nothing. Took test and negative. Called dr. and he told me to wait 90 days and if nothing then he will give me something to make me start and then start me on fertility drugs. Well we have a long road ahead of us. It is very hard to be patient and wait when we both really want this. I now God is in control and he knows what is best for us. We just have to let God do his work in us and it will happen when God wants it to happen. Just keep us in your prayers please. I will let yall know when I head back to the dr. in april.

Since I have been so stressed out bj did something really nice for me to just relax. I got home on a friday night after work and he closed my eyes and walked me to our bedroom. He told me what I needed to wear was hanging on the door. It was my dress that I wore going away from our wedding. When I was getting ready he made me a margarita. Then when I was ready he walked me out to a candle lit dinner with an appitizer in the middle of the table. The lights were all dimmed. He had chilled wine in the middle of the table. When we sat down to eat he put music on to play in the background. He made a new receipe called chicken tofe. It was chicken theighs with bacon wrapped around and cream of chicken, sour cream, cream cheese on top served on a bed of rice, with green beans. He did so good. It made me cry. He is some pics of what we have been doing in the beginning of 2010.

God answers prayers!!!

This past week or so has been a really bad week for us. Last weekend topped it all off. I have been praying for my parents every night. I pray for God to soften my dad's heart and let him back in. My dad has not been living a christian life like he says he is. My dad has harden his heart to God and to everyone else around him. I try to tell him that God is not going to answer his prayers cause he is not giving anything back to him. His life is in shambles. Needless to say my mom told my dad she was done. She didn't want to do this anymore. My dad fell hard. I have only seen my dad cry once or twice in my life. My dad called me crying so hard that I could not understand him. Begging to not let mom do this. He loves her so much. I told him it was not my decision to make. It is her life. He wanted me to talk to mom cause she listens to me. My dad is a manic Depression. He was talking about killing him self and text me that he loved me very much and hates the way its got to end. I got very upset. Bj got mad cause he just said dad wouldn't do it. Needless to say his dad killed him self when my dad was 17 years old. Bj called my brother to see if he got the same text. Needless to say he didn't. My brother had been drinking that night and went to my dad's house and through him on the ground and told him he hated him and always have. Told him he wished he was dead. That did not help the situation any better. Bj was just upset because he was tired of me being put in the middle of my parents problems. I told him I would not make him choose between his parents. Then I asked him about forgiveness. God forgave us and he tells us we are suppose to forgive others. No matter what my dad does I will still love him because he is my dad. I might not agree with him one bit but he is still my dad. I forgave my dad. My dad text me this week and asked if he could talk to me after work and I said yes. He sat me down and appogized for everything he has done to hurt me and all his actions. That is a big step for my dad to say he is sorry. He said he was wrong and he loved my mother so much. He also said that if it doesn't work out with mom then he didn't want to be here. He said he has to make alot of changes. Which he does for mom to come back. He is getting back into church and he said God has to be number one is his life. I am so glad for that. That makes me feel so much better. Needless to say mom and dad went out on their first date lastnight, trying to see if it can work out. God answered my prayer cause he soften dad's heart to come back to him. I want to thank everyone for all the prayers that have been coming our way. Thank yall so much. My brother did text my dad and said he really did love him and he was sorry. He was just made that night and didn't mean that things he said.
