We're just about 10 days away and I can't believe all the progress that she has made so far this year! Violet has some favorite TV shows/personalities. She really loves Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Rachael Ray. She gets really excited when she hears the music and stops whatever she is doing to watch the tv. <br /><br />Her next Dr. appointment is Friday the 6th and I will definitely post for that.<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyOjDk8XSkvVO78ot7W-Zr5M9ubdg-AL_twcC1Gl4oPVV_ep9Fmbj7G8-EVeEKS7Vi9dGfEo0rbSDQxZ-sJfA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-8111147538527578272009-10-06T20:00:00.000-07:002009-10-06T20:07:06.893-07:00Violet's first trip to Belleville, IL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wM6XxNtsJa4B3sHlk13HXJTIK_I1U_LEbvA__q-BRggzSo-8XSIFmckmuaQ3opTbbMjPqIF23Wv6vg6mM1-_h6gY8HA04ipD88mpwk2bQmETbyzTCyNHZhe6BCtMOMWTbvE_NHheI9M/s1600-h/DSC05240.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wM6XxNtsJa4B3sHlk13HXJTIK_I1U_LEbvA__q-BRggzSo-8XSIFmckmuaQ3opTbbMjPqIF23Wv6vg6mM1-_h6gY8HA04ipD88mpwk2bQmETbyzTCyNHZhe6BCtMOMWTbvE_NHheI9M/s320/DSC05240.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389688054484436274" /></a><br /><br />Here is Vi wrapped up all snug and cozy at the Belleville Chili Cook-off. We've gone the past few years and I think its becoming a tradition. Its usually a lot of fun. Violet had never been in such a dense crowd of people and she freaked out when she couldn't see us anymore sitting in the stroller. So I had to hold her for a while. It was about 54 degrees outside. We didn't really sample that much chili for some reason. I was more interested in the funnel cake! Which was awesome!! I think I prefer going during the day though. We went at about 7pm and it was SOOOOO crowded. According to their website 40,000 people came last year. Its only a 2 day event! It was nuts. <br /><br />Anyway, next year when we go she will be walking and talking. It should be lots of fun. I cant wait!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-64034470553226067882009-09-29T07:41:00.000-07:002009-09-29T08:02:53.228-07:00random pics.

Violet is just shy of turning 8 months old! Can you believe it?! She is crawling, standing, cruising, eating 3 solid meals a day and is also learning how to eat finger foods. She is still in cloth diapers and I'm still nursing her at every feeding. She naps once in the morning for about 45 min and once in the afternoon for 1-3 hours. She's usually in bed by 8 and wakes once or twice in the night. I only nurse her once in the middle of the night. Not every time she wakes. I am trying to get her to only wake once in the night and hopefully by the time she is one, she wont wake at all. (fingers crossed) <br /><br />She loves to explore all over the house and is beginning to mimic sounds. (like a dog barking) She gives high fives, kisses, hugs, waves hello and goodbye and she likes to talk a lot. She says yaya, mama, dada, aaaa, oooo, eew, eye-eye, sssss, etc. Those are the most common. She just learned yesterday how to play peek-a-boo with a cloth all by herself! <br /><br />She still doesn't have any teeth yet...which is ok with this nursing mama!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-55112632334154579372009-06-24T12:27:00.000-07:002009-06-24T12:32:32.084-07:00pics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPnxkuaCLETJS4KOHELb1PzaWj1CMUbOuNay0iFa18trFXoanN3e1VwSCOUN_pxT2WHwKhnwNzr7mhyphenhyphenGXsYYIOirk1U7nMMHuPaTjrSq5PrOeidxze6eVbHVrVO1sIh3hAQLqwMBgcaoQ/s1600-h/DSC04753.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPnxkuaCLETJS4KOHELb1PzaWj1CMUbOuNay0iFa18trFXoanN3e1VwSCOUN_pxT2WHwKhnwNzr7mhyphenhyphenGXsYYIOirk1U7nMMHuPaTjrSq5PrOeidxze6eVbHVrVO1sIh3hAQLqwMBgcaoQ/s320/DSC04753.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350979216523304114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVmIrRk_XTV8MgZHHXV1RvG174LGbPGpRRJQlikEM3NphyjfceDRDSk9vWbbOufbitUE77UnnC7Ziaof9urnCoS2engUsZzHFJbCarzczNQiRpMIKMaZXiu76_GeqJ-xXaq_8ZRXpeZEE/s1600-h/DSC04698.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVmIrRk_XTV8MgZHHXV1RvG174LGbPGpRRJQlikEM3NphyjfceDRDSk9vWbbOufbitUE77UnnC7Ziaof9urnCoS2engUsZzHFJbCarzczNQiRpMIKMaZXiu76_GeqJ-xXaq_8ZRXpeZEE/s320/DSC04698.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350979215179145202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70toBt27Wu9bJhcmB7b5xSH_xec5a-z4X9hki0Tv4eNoO_hmW2vQ83MbmHpv1YPOKjy_aGjUL7Ka9KViRbcbvhlCQBIXvxGzuEpfL4GckLfGXnvq_xTIv1TfROg3ZdUORiONIyewsmMY/s1600-h/DSC04511.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70toBt27Wu9bJhcmB7b5xSH_xec5a-z4X9hki0Tv4eNoO_hmW2vQ83MbmHpv1YPOKjy_aGjUL7Ka9KViRbcbvhlCQBIXvxGzuEpfL4GckLfGXnvq_xTIv1TfROg3ZdUORiONIyewsmMY/s320/DSC04511.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350979209159511986" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBf0nwoMWsC4IcrbTP-8rYOiWobe8WGOEzXXU4A_4kmJSQGRF_c99GCLUNjBg3txFEvEDLtxKfR64O948DkWuX3WNmtykyo03fXeewQxho_ugc0-viO9YBy0zYLX0MTQwJ-QtdGrNaIOo/s1600-h/DSC04569.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBf0nwoMWsC4IcrbTP-8rYOiWobe8WGOEzXXU4A_4kmJSQGRF_c99GCLUNjBg3txFEvEDLtxKfR64O948DkWuX3WNmtykyo03fXeewQxho_ugc0-viO9YBy0zYLX0MTQwJ-QtdGrNaIOo/s320/DSC04569.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350979205714314226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZNklP15iasfg8IsIwAbCau2ewgYTp5xFHwxURq6x9Egb0KBpjpNvQLbGOOWsXAXktO00alYHjAdWKpoqK0Pgv0AauJi-S4x7iheNmHzNyUNfs4QsYXXJk4CPCjghokiwQSP75YMdHIU/s1600-h/1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZNklP15iasfg8IsIwAbCau2ewgYTp5xFHwxURq6x9Egb0KBpjpNvQLbGOOWsXAXktO00alYHjAdWKpoqK0Pgv0AauJi-S4x7iheNmHzNyUNfs4QsYXXJk4CPCjghokiwQSP75YMdHIU/s320/1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350979202293296882" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-21378371373780935852009-05-01T09:06:00.000-07:002009-05-01T09:19:03.886-07:003 Months old!So Vi hasn't really hit any HUGE milestones yet. Which is why I haven't really posted anything for a while. She likes to suck on her hand a lot and she has started taking long naps, YAY! She follows mommy and daddy's voice pretty well. Not all the time but she's getting pretty good at it. She likes the swing more. I can sometimes get her to nap for about 3 hours in the morning. She sleeps 8 hours at night. She gets up between 5:30 and 6am, every day. She has laughed out loud at least twice. But only one little "ha." She talks up a storm now. We have her on video yelling at her mobile. She drools a little now too. <br /><br />I still dont have a job. I am currently looking for either a massage job or some kids to watch in my home. I have also come up with a line of nursing gear. Hopefully I will be able to make a bunch and sell them online, or possibly in a local store. I'm hoping to be able to start selling by the end of the year, maybe sooner.

Ok, I can definitely admit...a little bit of a hassle but cute! OK, I quit my job and I'm currently working on a contract for in-home day care. I hope to start in a couple weeks. ( We cant afford not to) So I guess technically I will be a stay at home mom! YAY! Until it drives me crazy at least. I hope to eventually start doing some massages on the weekends. I have to do 50 hours a year to keep my license and I think I'm only up to about 15 so far. (sad) Anyway, this isn't supposed to be about me.<br /><br />Violet is 22 inches long and my guess is just under 9 lbs. She is still super skinny. She is too long for newborn onesies but still doesn't quite fill out newborn sized pants. She is still sleeping in her bassinet and she is sleeping around 6 hours a night. During tummy time a few days ago she rolled over from her stomach to her back. She has started a little talking and if you leave and come back before she cries she smiles really big that you are there. --I hope that makes sense.<br /><br />We really want to get some professional pictures taken but haven't gotten around to it because we're busy or lazy or just suck...I dont know.<br /><br />She still likes to be held ALL DAY! It kind of get annoying but I can get a few things done if I wear her in my sling. I use the Maya Wrap. Its pretty awesome. Vi really likes it, she usually falls right to sleep or just stares at my face the whole time she is in the sling. She still hates the swing and sometimes I can put her in the bouncy seat for about 5 minutes. I have been sitting her up in the boppy and she likes that sometimes. She has started to be ok with the carseat sometimes but mostly hates it. (she hates everything! -Just like me)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-90102701017815911262009-02-19T14:48:00.000-08:002009-02-19T15:12:17.454-08:002 weeks, 1 day and Dad is back at work!Hey everyone.<br /><br />Things are going well here in the Fisher Household. Baby Violet is doing well. She's eats so much I feel like I never put her down and she doesn't like to be put down much either. She saw the doc today. She weighs 6lbs 8 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. She's still a little too small to fit into newborn size clothing. We have her in some preemie clothes and they will soon be a little too small. She is just SO skinny. I cant wait until it gets a little more warm outside and she gets a little bigger. Its going to be so much more fun.<br /><br />I have been a little (let me strongly emphasize "A Little") depressed but Justin and some of my friends and family have been helping me. I am so lucky to know so many awesome people! Justin has been so wonderful for the past couple weeks. I'm so sad that he's not going to be home with me for the next few weeks. One day alone and I miss him already!<br /><br />And once again, a huge THANK YOU for all the gifts from everyone. We love you all!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-30753578725357495132009-02-07T13:08:00.000-08:002009-02-07T13:26:52.114-08:00Baby Violet is here!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9fNaPCBuwR_QnINtuZQMwmEbmbLGujmf8QzL0EWeHmK21HNGREEbxEsUGyfrTZ6DokTaVWpUN7WX30-akDkxPfo4LFadv4ioSD740HJ5M0S_44Sf980dMK0dq8pvKgQDj_J3qlDvMHyc/s1600-h/DSC04129.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9fNaPCBuwR_QnINtuZQMwmEbmbLGujmf8QzL0EWeHmK21HNGREEbxEsUGyfrTZ6DokTaVWpUN7WX30-akDkxPfo4LFadv4ioSD740HJ5M0S_44Sf980dMK0dq8pvKgQDj_J3qlDvMHyc/s320/DSC04129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300170039701056002" border="0" /></a><br /><br />First off...I will try to write a more detailed blog the next time I have a minute .<br /><br />Second, Violet Maren Fisher has officially graced us with her presence. She was born on Weds February 4th and 4pm. She was 6 lbs 5 oz and 19 in long. She is super tiny and super adorable! She has brown hair and her eye color is yet to be determined. Right now they are a super dark blueish color.<br /><br />We were in the hospital for a day and a half and she's been doing well at home. I haven't really been getting sleep but expect to some time soon. I think I've had about 12 hours since Monday night and its now Saturday afternoon. Maybe I can get some sleep during the week when we aren't expecting company. Other than that I have been doing fine. I haven't really had too much pain since delivery. Violet on the other hand has been a little gassy last night and today. So I changed my eating habits a little and hope that it helps. She is a really slow eater. She likes to take around and hour for each feeding. Hopefully when my milk comes in she wont take quite so long.<br /><br />Justin and I really appreciate all the help and gifts from family and friends. We are so blessed!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-42773488570345463682009-01-29T19:31:00.000-08:002009-01-29T19:34:04.100-08:00no more work....I have decided not to go to work anymore.

Its blue but, eh.. it was $5. I figure we wont use it much since the baby is due in Feb. and will be at home for a long time.

We are waiting to get our diaper champ, a hamper, and a snow suit (if we can find one we like). That's all we need! --I think. I've been knitting some sweaters and booties for the baby this weekend.<br /><br />Also, Thursday I started feeling like crap and took my temperature and it was only 100.9 but my doc recommended that I not go to work and to get some rest. Friday morning I woke up and it was 101.4 and decided to stay home again. Later in the day Friday it went up to 102.5 and didn't go any lower until sometime in the afternoon on Saturday. Sunday it was around 99.9 and Justin and I did a bunch of housework. Today (monday) I went into work and it was a little over 100. A few hours later my boss sent me home because he didn't know if I was contagious or not and I had massages scheduled for the rest of the day. I came home and took a 2 hour nap and my fever went back up to 101.5. I hope I start feeling better soon because I need money for when I'm out of work during my maternity leave. But I did make a huge pot of super yummy chicken noodle soup!<br /><br />These are the monkey decals Justin put up for me.

The baby's heart rate was 140 bpm. My blood pressure was a little high, 126/70. I'm thinking its because I have been stressed and overworked lately. I am 1 cm dilated and the baby is SUPER low! yay. The doc says 1 month to go.<br /><br />As of right now, I'm ok with that. If they baby comes 1 week early I would be ok with that too. I'm also still measuring 1 week small, which the doc didn't seem too worried about. And, if that means the baby is a little small then it can stay in there as long as it needs.<br /><br />I start seeing the doc on a weekly basis now, wah-hoo. Nothing like a vaginal exam every week!<br /><br />Justin and I have a busy weekend planned to get everything bought and ready to go. We still need my bag for the hospital and we need to get the car seat installed in his car too.<br /><br />I will try to keep everyone updated but, I have been getting more and more tired as the days go by.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-62876374667948398192009-01-12T15:33:00.000-08:002009-01-13T15:44:33.857-08:0035 weeks and 4 days!I had another baby shower on Sunday and it was wonderful! A ton of people were there and we all had a blast. I feel so blessed that so many people were there and care about the baby! We got a ton of awesome stuff. I cant wait to use it all!! We have a few more things to buy and we'll be ready for the baby. The nursery is almost complete!<br /><br />Thank you so much to everyone who could make it! I'm so glad that you could! I have to send an extra special thanks out to Bridget and Erica for throwing the shower! I know they both have a lot going on right now and didn't have to do it. I really appreciate all the hard work on the shower and love you've both shown me since Justin and I have been together.<br /><br />And another special thanks goes out to Tiffany (Bridget's co-worker) for the cake.

It will probably change a little when we make final decisions where to put everything. I am proud to say that none of the furniture is new! Even though none of it matches.. haha. I love each piece for different reasons though. I need more things to put on the walls since we're not painting, it looks really boring in there. I like the green hue the curtains give off though, it almost appears as if its painted.<br /><br />Just in case you're wondering why we aren't painting...we don't plan on living in this house too much longer and didn't want to have to repaint when we are ready to move.<br /><br />Also, you can click on the pictures for a larger view.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjWq9iUS3QdAE8l8AFB5BxigflLDu49QuIwBpO4o2yPt-ejB3fA7rgtC1xIqzOKnAxNWZ2iyJkXXzn7Bcs02unlP9Mj19O_t8sgWITiPXblRQ2LYOiU03SUHtkj8vGxIeONn8sqstXK0A/s1600-h/DSC04058.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

My blood pressure was 112/70. I've gained 23 lbs (according to the doc). Baby's heart rate is around 130 bpm. I'm measuring 32 weeks. Everything seems to be going well!<br /><br />I've been having braxton hicks contractions a lot more often, especially when I have to pee. Sleeping is a royal pain in the neck/side/legs/low back! At least I'm not up all night with acid reflux though! I do get it after I eat sometimes, which is supposed to be a sign that my baby will have hair. We will have to wait to prove that theory.<br /><br />My next baby shower is coming up and I'm super excited. I cant wait to finish the nursery! I fully expect to have to buy a ton of stuff but I have to wait until after the shower to make final purchases...but I'm still really excited.<br /><br />I plan on working up until the baby comes. I have a really laid back job (when I'm not massaging) and will have no problems keeping up. Plus, its a straight shot to the hospital now that the highway is open again. It shouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes to get there from my work, or from my home. And, since Justin works a mile down the street its super convenient. I have been told to get a trash bag and a pillow for the ride to the hospital just in case my water breaks in the car. And we'll have the car seat and my bags in my car ready to go.<br /><br />I cant wait!! I'm really starting to get excited. I think its finally sinking in that I'm going to have a baby!<br /><br /><br />And for those of you who like to ask generic pregnancy questions....<br /><br />No cravings, no nausea, yes back pain, yes tired, yes excited, no swelling, I'm due Feb 13th, I'm not ready to be "done" with pregnancy--too much preparing left to do. I'm only really uncomfortable after I eat and when I wear my jeans with a button and zipper. <br /><br />I will take a picture this Friday on my 34 week mark!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-22213579666528493932008-12-14T18:49:00.001-08:002008-12-14T18:52:41.282-08:00nursery update<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3XzTkDvR4hsEbFlQDlvwMnvMsL1ZTr-ZnaoeZ82AQzfFILcHcJDJEMZW-yakhw1j6J5Lt7pOpJ-i95fS0FdrjiGPfpeUakO98OKdYdmxl0TSzhtHIZJtORppYdMyeHwCzmqUMt3fyK7M/s1600-h/wall.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3XzTkDvR4hsEbFlQDlvwMnvMsL1ZTr-ZnaoeZ82AQzfFILcHcJDJEMZW-yakhw1j6J5Lt7pOpJ-i95fS0FdrjiGPfpeUakO98OKdYdmxl0TSzhtHIZJtORppYdMyeHwCzmqUMt3fyK7M/s320/wall.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279843769438339954" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is the canvas that I made for the wall in the nursery.

I was just finished with my hair when I got dizzy broke out into a cold sweat and my heart rate went up. No fever or anything.. I had already eaten breakfast too. So I got a glass of orange juice--which usually helps but it didn't. I had milk this morning too, which is why I thought it was so weird. Milk is supposed to help lower your blood pressure. Anyway, I called the doc and she wanted me to go to the hospital to have some testing done but since we dont have any money and I dont have insurance, I decided to stay home and wait it out a little.<br /><br />I then realized that I haven't really been eating the way I normally eat and I haven't had any really good source of iron this week. So I had some raisins and then Justin and I went and got some beef, spinach, and broccoli for lunch. I took an hour nap without even realizing and now I'm tired but am trying to stay awake so I can get some decent sleep tonight. I am feeling a little better, my heart rate has normalized and I have been getting up really slowly so I dont get dizzy anymore. I feel like I just ran a marathon though and I really want to sleep.<br /><br />On a normal day I feel great! I'm moving around with a little more difficulty but still moving. I get out of bed like I'm 80 years old. I feel the baby move a couple times an hour now.<br /><br />I have been having strong feelings(this week) that its a girl..we'll have to wait though. On Thanksgiving the Fisher's and Hendrickson's all think & hope its a boy and the Bellinger's didn't really talk about it..(which is what I prefer) We are still planning on naming the baby either Logan or Violet(Vi). I wish our last name wasn't Fisher because I LOVE the name Victor. But, Victor Fisher sounds dumb.<br /><br />I also decided to take a picture of myself....so here I am at 29 weeks and 5 days. I cant believe I only have 10 weeks left! Last night I was really grossed out with the thought that there was something living inside my belly, but then I got over it. haha. I'm a little crazy.<br /><br />I weigh around 134 which is about 24lbs more than before I was pregnant. I think I was closer to 114 when I actually got pregnant but I never wrote it down because I didn't think I was.. In any case, I've gained a lot of weight. My waist is now 38 1/2 inches, and its a pain the the neck to sleep b/c I'm a belly sleeper. I was able to sleep on my stomach until about 25 weeks but now its impossible. My chest is 37 inches and that makes it 3 inches more than I want... I cant wait until my milk comes in(not)....I'm going to need a whole new wardrobe.<br /><br />hmm...I'll shut up now.<br /><br />To everyone in KC, see you Saturday!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidF9kZZsv9DUN49Z0t4E0jKe9xh5w7Ywphyphenhyphenm1aGbzUcvt_7Cz-urmgdD4rk6-4oHd7sFaXVqBfBY-kStNXwxKDRPqZBp0hh6aMZ9SB9Ryz5St1in4ysN6yGeRljOGUpwumLKiA1ftFYBE/s1600-h/DSC03991.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidF9kZZsv9DUN49Z0t4E0jKe9xh5w7Ywphyphenhyphenm1aGbzUcvt_7Cz-urmgdD4rk6-4oHd7sFaXVqBfBY-kStNXwxKDRPqZBp0hh6aMZ9SB9Ryz5St1in4ysN6yGeRljOGUpwumLKiA1ftFYBE/s320/DSC03991.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275697040121247938" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-13747161993848436392008-11-25T17:24:00.000-08:002008-11-25T17:38:47.252-08:0028 weeks and some change....I went to the doc today. He said everything was going great. I'm measuring 27 weeks. I had the rho-gam shot today and some blood drawn. The baby has been moving a lot lately. I've had a little trouble sleeping too but I have been making sure to get some rest during the day. <br /><br />I also just checked the Chinese gender prediction calendar and it said girl. Plus, on my birthday I got a fortune cookie that said girl on the back of it...So according to the Chinese its going to be a girl. We'll just have to wait and see in February.<br /><br />I'll try to take some pictures of myself and the progress on the nursery this weekend.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-47681765086954756172008-11-19T15:13:00.001-08:002008-11-19T15:18:44.049-08:00Baby kicks and belly laughs...Everytime the baby kicks its an earth moving event. I know I'm not that big yet but I swear my whole stomach shifts. The poor kid already needs more room to move around. I also think its funny that whenever I laugh my belly moves up and down a lot. Which typically makes me laugh more when I pay attention to it. Anyway, the leg cramps have gone away for the most part. I think I may have had 1 in the past week.<br /><br />I'm also gearing up for another trip to KC this weekend for Aaron & Angela's wedding and for Grover's funeral. I dont know how easy Grover's funeral will be for me because I cared a lot for him. I cried a little last night while I was doing the dishes. I was just remembering Halloween & Christmas' from my childhood. We had so much fun! I will definitely miss him!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-62477417120948221022008-11-11T17:00:00.001-08:002008-11-11T17:22:07.062-08:00Worst so far....So, lately I've been having cramps in my legs at night. OUCH! The baby has also been kicking me in a really ticklish spot a lot. I think the baby tried to impale my liver earlier today.<br /><br />I'm staring to make progress on the nursery. I still need to buy some fabric for the canvas and some hardware for the crib. Justin and I also still need to buy a new dresser so the baby can have the whole set in its room. We still haven't decided if we're going to put the closet door back on. I guess it depends on what we plan on storing in there. <br /><br />Justin's dad bought us a camcorder. (thank you!!) It will come in very handy for catching all the cute little things that babies do. Hopefully I will be able to post some of the videos online so everyone can see them. I just have to learn how to use iMovie.<br /><br />Also, I have finished my baby registry for now. I promise not to look until after the shower(so I can edit it for my next shower). I'm also getting a bassinet from a friend, I haven't seen it yet but its sounds cute.<br /><br />I can't wait to see everyone again when I come to KC for Aaron's wedding.<br /><br />I'll post a picture when I find my camera.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-81643429001563276612008-11-02T11:11:00.000-08:002008-11-02T11:20:20.992-08:00Saw the Doc....Everything is going good. Of course, its not like he did anything to me. The baby's heart sounded good and I'm measuring right on target. Dr. Behm says I've gained 19 lbs but I've only gained 15. He's just mad at me because I have refused every single test he's wanted to do. I have really started showing a lot and people are starting to notice. Justin and I were buying some groceries and the cashier asked when I was due. I hope that doesn't happen much. Its not like it matters. I think I'm going to start lying to people just for the enjoyment of hearing what they have to say. "wow, you're too big for 15 weeks...." hehehe. I have decided that the first stranger that touches my belly is going to get their arm chopped off.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-76074624526170127282008-10-17T13:04:00.000-07:002008-10-17T13:09:57.573-07:00A Little Crabby...Today I'm 23 weeks... whoa! Is this really happening or what! I took some pictures but I'm huge and think they're wrong but here there are anyway. I'm 124 lbs, 35 inches. So, I'm a little over half way and I've gained 10 lbs. Doing good! Last night the baby woke me up twice because I was laying on my right side and its feet were kicking my side in a way that tickled a lot. I think I woke up Justin because I was laughing. It was so cute! Anyway, here are my pics.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjo767veAWk88WONt7RbyxM6aoMe5xMJKe56JgJapYSeQZ3vGAAVCiLA6nPXP-V95SKFnC5eOEC6RL-g8tfuF90HLvXIxtJqCgBnqg84EbFn2DelFnV8Ki5p4IUPQC19vbQvfWJi-9a8/s1600-h/DSC03901.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjo767veAWk88WONt7RbyxM6aoMe5xMJKe56JgJapYSeQZ3vGAAVCiLA6nPXP-V95SKFnC5eOEC6RL-g8tfuF90HLvXIxtJqCgBnqg84EbFn2DelFnV8Ki5p4IUPQC19vbQvfWJi-9a8/s320/DSC03901.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258217458342777698" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisoYDfqRPtpRnMruUCQojsgrYRtDaHCcJxHhYZJLPR_thqoOsLqez429IC0DjMOg7vNQUJiJMBJPt-1zJ6MTS9NssbbhdDXmfXgYZv6Fv4E38VV614FBS88mL_HbHHbyWJJfFKfm4YXKU/s1600-h/DSC03889.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisoYDfqRPtpRnMruUCQojsgrYRtDaHCcJxHhYZJLPR_thqoOsLqez429IC0DjMOg7vNQUJiJMBJPt-1zJ6MTS9NssbbhdDXmfXgYZv6Fv4E38VV614FBS88mL_HbHHbyWJJfFKfm4YXKU/s320/DSC03889.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258217245216782130" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-81153779828345997992008-10-15T20:18:00.000-07:002008-10-15T20:23:27.077-07:00This week...22.5Justin and I have been buying some random things for the nursery. We bought some sleepers, a crib mattress, and some more diapers. I keep trying to not buy anything but its really hard when I see such cute things especially when they're cheap. Anyway, the baby has been kicking a lot lately. I think its staring to become a little more regular. I've also drawn up the animals for the curtains & the canvas for the nursery so maybe I can get started on that project once I'm done with my quilt. I cant wait to get everything done so I can relax for a bit before the baby is born.<br /><br />Also, my belly is way bigger than I think it should be..I feel huge already. It could just be me though.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002781402587613206.post-32792626746028857152008-10-12T20:14:00.000-07:002008-10-12T20:26:34.242-07:00KC TripI had so much fun going to KC this weekend. It was really busy but fun. First of all Justin and I stayed at Aunt Jan's (Thanks again!) and had a blast. We got to see Lindsay & Drew, who is super adorable. I forgot my camera though, so when I get my pic of Justin, Drew & I, I will post it. <br /><br />Here is a pic of Aunt Jan and I before we left this morning! We're so cute together.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEdDoBVSev50ZgD1MgNQVvY2yTkx1w4KU3fVZtm1VFBrOt_h6tZDv5h6F8-JsxX47QYQimvCSuJRBPkC1oLwjXI9tkFrOaXAHSaMwPZL3dhFE1bFWuuU2c4WqGI3lcU83vnO8ahxdJJvU/s1600-h/DSC03868.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEdDoBVSev50ZgD1MgNQVvY2yTkx1w4KU3fVZtm1VFBrOt_h6tZDv5h6F8-JsxX47QYQimvCSuJRBPkC1oLwjXI9tkFrOaXAHSaMwPZL3dhFE1bFWuuU2c4WqGI3lcU83vnO8ahxdJJvU/s320/DSC03868.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256472217793060322" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Then Justin and I went to see Grandma H and all the Hendricksons. I knew Denise was going to be there but I didn't know Amanda was too, so that was super exciting. It was so fun seeing them and reminiscing about Christmas' and slumber parties from 15 years ago! Here is a picture of the three of us. I think we look pretty good together too! (Of course, I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">no </span>comparison to those two.) All in all, it was an awesome weekend. Plus, we got a free matress set!
