Third Trimester!

Can you believe it already? 12 more weeks and my little girl will be here? As you can see above, Ryden wanted in on the picture this morning!

Lena Fetus has been moving around like crazy recently. Especially after yesterday when her brother kept jumping on her. So that had me on the couch all evening just to be on the safe side. But she is bouncing away and up in my ribs all day long. So either she is super long or just that high up in my belly. Either way, it is REALLY annoying while I try to sit.

Where did the year go? When did the year pass us by? I remember getting up and finding out about her and now I am closer and closer to her being here! Christmas seemed like a distant though and now look... its Friday!

Ryden is currently walking around banging a laundry basket in the living room. Why? no idea but it is keeping him out of trouble for now so its nice. He has been a terror lately but hopefully it will start to die down. I am hoping it is more from the change in the family coming soon than just being a terror but no one can really tell for sure.

3 Months...

3 months until my due date. In 3 month, I will be the mom of 2 children under the age of 3. It is a scary thought. Where the hell did time go? No really, someone please tell me where time went? I still feel like I just found out yesterday.

All is going well though. Lena Fetus beats me up on a daily and more than daily basis. Ryden likes to talk to baby sissy when he feels like it. Just the other day he was laying his head on my belly and ribbiting to her haha. I cracked up only for him to sh me which made me laugh even harder. He has felt her move a couple times but I do not think he realizes yet.

Jameson got the numbers on how much it will cost for insurance through his work. I do not know how on earth we will afford it. It cuts out so much from his paycheck it is scary. Makes me wonder if me being a stay at home mom truly worth it?

Ryden is trying to escape his room so I will be back...

25 Weeks Already...

Amazing how fast time flies huh? I can not believe that today is December 1st and I am 25 weeks already!

Had a appointment this afternoon. All is well with Lena Fetus and she is measuring on target. I mention about the horrible Pubic Bone pain and now I must keep off my feet as much as possible. With a potty training toddler running around? Yeah right haha.

While I had my appointment, Ryden got to spend some time with Uncle Charlie and Aunt Chrissy. They took him to the Crayola Factory. Very nifty place for little kids. He had a blast they told me and I am so glad. He is currently sleeping at the moment and I know he is going to be up late but I guess it is worth it.

Thanksgiving wasn't too bad. I was all excited for Ham but it tasted ick. Then the apple pie I have been craving for weeks...not great at ALL. So sad but I will have to just go buy some more Mrs. Smith or something. Here is to hoping Christmas dinner is better!

Where did time go?

Between the FREAK warm weather in Pa recently and the holidays right around the corner, things are moving around here quickly!
Above is Super Ryden or Gymnastic Ryden landing his dismount...either way, he is enjoying the freak 60 degree weather we have been seeing lately. Its nice don't get me wrong but when it is the END of NOVEMBER and i can take him out w/o a jacket on? Just a tad over doing it. But he is not coupe up in the house for too long thankfully. Those days are the ones I wish I had more duct tape to hold him to the wall. ( I KID!)

Lena has been becoming more and more active lately. The moment I stop moving, she decides to move around. I mean it is a good thing I feel her so often but when it is midnight and I just want to crash, not so much fun. Though I do believe that Jameson is coming around to having a little girl. He probably will not admit it but I am sure she is going to have him wrapped around her little finger haha.

The holidays are upon us. They started the freaking Christmas music already also. Its not even Thanksgiving yet but apparently you can not wait until Black Friday to start. Speaking of which, there is not one good decent sale in those ads this year! I am so disappointed on that one.

Just over half way...

We are just past the half way mark! Today is 21 weeks and 2 days or you can just tell by the ticker on the top of the page haha.

Things have been calm for the most part. Lena is moving around like crazy some days and Jameson can now feel it! If only he would have the patience to sit still long enough to feel the really hard ones. Ryden doesn't understand it yet, will not stay still either but that is okay. I think when she is bigger he will get it better.

We finished Ryden's Christmas shopping! Just waiting on the confirmation that the Train Table is at Walmart Site to Store pick up and he will be officially all done! I also have the nieces and my father in law done yay! I think for once I may actually get done early w/ the shopping!

Just dont ask me what Jameson is getting because I have NO idea!

Yesturday was such a whirlwind but now i can sit and tell all about it!

My mom calls me like 20 minutes before i have to leave (instead of the hour before) that she is running late. so i fast throw the car seat and everything back in the car and FLY to the hospital.

We get there and switch cars since Ry fell asleep lol. she takes him and i get Gimpy ( My sister) and I head to Radiology. They took us back pretty fast actually.

The tech had a student so i knew right away it was going to be a bit more detailed to teach her hehe. We chatted a bit while heading to the room and told her how we MUST know what the baby is!

We were there for a good HOUR taking measurements and shots. It wasnt until the very end they got a fast picture of between her legs. (i love it HER legs!) she was being so stubborn! but they got the shot fast and Gimpy i think was going to fall out of the wheel chair hahaha. The tech was like ' i dont see a penis so i am really thinking GIRL! ' i cried! i did. the tears just fell i was so happy :0)

So we get all cleaned up and Gimpy is like 'omg hurrry up and call Jameson! Hurry up! i gotta tell ppl!!!' so try steering through a hospital w a wheel chair while trying to text message and call hubby haha. i should mention how her leg is straight out since she has a immobilizer on it haha.

But we finally get signal for my phone, and i hit send on my 30 person mass text haha. When i called Jameson, he was shocked but i think he is excited. My poor phone couldnt handle all the text coming back in hahaha. every like sec i was hearing ' new message, new message'.

We went over to get some lunch and she called the food store to get ahold of the bakery to make the Pink Canolis haha. But it was done and we had out Pitas. Then she was like ' we are not leaving w/o going into Children's Place and getting a outfit!' (and they are having a great sale this week! got Lena a pair of cute sneaker for only 5 bucks!)

So we headed to my moms and get the dessert. we got there and had the girls and Ry gather around. Ry opened the box and EVERYONE was shocked! my mom swore up and down it was a boy haha.

Jameson's parents were so hoping for a girl. So i put the sneakers in a box w/ the canolis and headed up there. my MIL:

Opens box " its canolis...and there PINK?!?!?!!? OMG!!!' so they are uber duper excited now.

A little girl! I am going to have a little GIRL!

Life in General...

So things are going okay. Jameson LOVES his new job. The car is getting fixed finally and Ryden is doing eh on potty training.

Next week, we go for a ultrasound! Get to find out what the baby is and I can not wait! Crouton has become more and more active lately. Still can't feel it on the outside but definitely can tell I am pregnant! I can not wait until Ryden can feel the baby! I am sure he is going to be weirded out at first but then think it is fun. He likes to give baby hugs and kisses so that is a start right?

Many Changes Are Coming....

...yes they are!

Jameson quit T-Mobile. YES! He got a job offer from the place he went to the interview for a couple weeks i think ago. Same day as fender bender mention below. He is on his own little 'vacation' this week while he waits for the 12th to roll around to start the new job. More money yay!

With the quitting happening, we lose our insurance at the end of the month. Meaning I HAVE to have my ultrasound before 10/31...it is now: 10/22! So on that day, we will know what Crouton is. My mom is coming along to watch Ryden in the waiting room. He isn't allowed in the room apparently which really sucks but that just means I get to have a secret all day! I went for a check up this past Friday and after the Phy. Asst took awhile, we found the heartbeat and it was a nice steady 159 bpm. Little one was hiding down at my pubic bone..little sneak! I have also been feeling him/her moving around more and more each day. Sadly, not enough force behind it yet for Jameson or Ryden to feel BUT Ryden does like to lay on my belly and listen to baby. I find it really cute. He also like to give baby kisses and hugs :0)

Nothing else really going on. BUT I must give a shout out to my BBC SAHM Chat mommas! Naked, Penise, Tara and all you other ladies!!! Now get back to chat so we are not cleaning or ding laundry!

An Evening Of...

...Silence and well, Ryden's movie over the monitor.

It is going on 10pm my time (Eastern) and here I am in bed. Jameson is snoring away on the couch. It is his new bed since he snores so badly. This he knew was coming due to being pregnant and a horrible sleeper.

Ryden is in his room sleeping I hope. I am listening to Ratatoulli ( did I even spell that right?) over his monitor. He has slept like crap the last day. He woke up from his nap yesturday (yes he REALLY napped for once!) with a 101* fever. A big pile of mush the rest of the afternoon. He did not want to eat anything nor drink his spiked juice. Yes, I put his Motrin in his juice or milk. He will not take it any other way and it sucks if he sees me do it! But I let him just be a mush and have whatever he wanted from the fridge.

Well that did not go over well for bed. He decided he was not sleeping alone and proceeded to use his sick cry to get into bed w/ me. So here we laid for a hour or so...it was midnight at least at one point. He then went back into his room and either dozed off or just started to whine at 1am. I was exhausted. So Jameson got up and laid w/ him. He apparently crashed at 1:30am but the time is still not sure. But by 5am he was crying again! So I made him another cuppy of milk and prayed for sleep. Jameson left for his nerd convention in Philly and I went back to sleep hehe.

No idea what time he woke back up but I did not move until after 9am. So then our day started. But it was not too bad as Ryden did semi okay w/ the potty. He stayed dry the entire time we were out shopping so that is good right? But a couple accidents and well...I will be redoing the carpet cleaning in his room again this week. He has this one problem w/ his potty: forgets to make sure his wizard is behind the splash guard. He is learning and one of these days he will get it.

Crouton is making him/herself known to me. Popping around and sitting in odd spots all the time. I know I know, it is still so small but still! I am wanting the 27th to hurry up and get here! I want to know what the baby is so we can fight about a name already. Now lets just hope the insurance holds out.

Yes the insurance. Jameson is pretty much going to be fired sooner or later. i personally hope for later. Stupid ass T-Mobile morons. You tell him what you want and he does it but still screw him over? Do you not KNOW he has a wife that is pregger and a toddler to take care of?!?!?!?!?!?! I hate them and I hope he does get this other job. He had a interview in Wind Gap this past Friday...same day as fender bender.... and it went REALLY well he said. I am so worried he is going to get fired and we are going to be SCREWED!

Fender Bender...yes must add that to this long blog! Friday, we were running to Wal-Mart to get a tie for his interview. B/c ya know, Ryden just HAS to play w/ daddy's ties and lose them. So while stopped at a light, a Dodge Ram rams us in the rear. She cracked our bumper. So now when you cause the accident, wouldn't you get out and apologize? No not this wanna be druggie hillbilly. No, I am the one that sees if they are okay and tells her she cracked our bumper. She just sits in her car. No sorry, no asking if we are okay. Nothing. Did not even bother to check and see if she had any damage or what she did to my pretty car. Bitch. Get her information and leave.

So while Jameson drives to the interview, I am on the phone w/ her insurance filing a claim. Except the policy number is CANCELED that she gave me! So after a bit of searching, they find her in a new number and get things going. Long story short...they will be paying for my repair, plus a new carseat for Ryden and a rental car if it is needed. I am hoping they do not take his carseat he has now and destroy it. Since it was such a low minor impact, it doesn't REALLY need to be replaced but they have to so we may just save it for Crouton...again as long as it is not destroyed.

Can you tell it has been a great weekend yet?

One Month...

In one month, we will know what we are having! One month from today I can give this baby a name other than Crouton or it lol.

My energy is back but late at night. So I rarely sleep most nights. It sucks but I think I am dealing. Ryden likes to snuggle up to baby and give my belly kisses hehe.

Speaking of Ry, he is getting better and better as this potty business goes on. He is telling me most of the time when he has to go and when he does have a accident it is more on purpose than anything. But one step at a time. He is still wearing Pull Ups at night but takes it off in the morning since it has pee in it hahahahaha. I keep his little potty in his room just in case and he tries to use it but doesnt always tuck his wizard behind the shield. He will catch on one day!
