will be posting SOON

Sorry i haven't posted anything since Gavin had joined are family. Let's just say that life got a lot more fun with him here, so we have been super busy. Give me like another week and I'll start posting. So stay tuned.......

too BIG

Ok so I'm folding laundry this morning and am trying on all my Maternity tops at the same time to see which ones still fit me :(

Sad to say there is very slims pickings left me to wear at this point. Which is good I guess cause that means I am pretty much to the END with only 2 and half weeks to go I am down with not having much of a choice to wear. So all be warned I am going to be dressing in the ONLY clothing attire I fit in!!!! I have realized that Gavin is so stinking LOW is one problem for my tops to not fit me right. On well.... almost done.

It's in.........

Almost 6 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!
What? how is this possible.......? when I feel so stinkning HUGE
I love it when my doctor says " of course you are going to feel huge, when you have such a small figure"
Uh..ok.. thats so NOT what I wanted to hear.
He will probably be around 7 1/2 pounds since 3 more weeks and he'll be gaining a half a pound a week.
Will see....

And thank you Erna for your guess :)

Any guesses......?

• Today I have my 36 week ultra sound appointment where they get all of the final measurements of the baby.
• And I can hardly wait to see the little guy, haven't had my last appointment since I was 6 months so it's been awhile.
• Dr.Bass keeps on saying he thinks he's around 6 pounds, however I DISAGREE with that
• I'm guessing he's 7 pounds.
• You are welcome to guess if you'd like...
• I will be posting his actual weight from ultra sound tonight
• hope you are having a great day!

Poor Babies :(

There is nothing worse to me than a sick kid
Kennedy starting running a temp Sunday night and threw up :(
Continued having a slight tempature Monday was feelind 100% better by Tuesday
We kinda laid low because of the heat and didn't want to push her little body

Friday morning Liberty throws up, and has a hard time holding anything down that whole day
plus she's running a temperature :/
Take her to Doctor Saturday morning tests positive for STREP THROAT !!!
Yuck my poor baby.
they give her a shot to stop her from throwing up so she can start holding stuff down
it works little by little she starts feeling better plus the antibiotics :) really helped
who would have thought that kids can/should be allowed to get sick in the summer LOL
was so bummed out because she was going to say the closing prayer in primary today and because she had gotten sick, was going going to be unable to. just melted my heart.
liberty woke up today feeling "all better" as she kept on telling us.
so grateful for doctors and drugs...it was so hard seeing her so down a frail broke my heart to see her that way. Just hoping and praying that all of the sickness is gone before Gavin get's here

what's been going on

OK so here's what's been going on lately...
Trying to keep cool in this CRAZY Az heat!
Doing every thing that we need to get done before 12 so we don't melt away (plus girls up @ 5:30)
my belly has gotten huge!
decided to deliver at Arrowhead hospital
started washing the little guys clothes
girls have been taking cold bubble baths during the day to get wet and keep cool
been eating LOTS and LOTS of Popsicles
and still on that fruit craze! Pineapple, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, and watermelon...oh my
Having lots of tea parties, playing with Barbie's, and play two of Liberty's favorite games > pretending we are shopping at Walmart & at Church in Primary
I've been trying to take a afternoon nap, but usually doesn't for some reason or other...
Down to the last 3 1/2 weeks tell babies here so that means weekly appointments
getting up almost 3 times in night to go pee!!!!!! so annoying
not very comfortable unless laying on my side, can't sit up in a chair for long without getting uncomfortable because this little guy is such a low rider :/

~~~ SIX more weeks !!!! ~~~

I can honestly say myself that I can not believe that it's coming down to the last 6 week's of my pregnancy! This one has flown by the fastest to me other than the other two. My first pregnancy with Liberty I will say with Liberty drug out the longest.............. :( because I wasn't sure what to expect and she was breech so I never went onto labor only found out from an ultra sound 2 weeks before she was due that she was feet first, and I would be having a c-section. With Kennedy it went by a bit faster because I was busy chasing Liberty girl around all the time :) And with having both Liberty and Kennedy to play with and keep my busy this one has flown by!

With lots of thought and consideration I have decided to deliver this baby at Arrowhead because it is so much closer than Thunderbird hospital to us. And I feel that it just makes since I have lots of friends that have delivered there. I have recently talked to a couple that have had c-sections there and feel good about having mine there too. Talked to the scheduler at my doctors office yesterday and she said that she faxed all my info to Arrowhead and probably won't hear back from them until next week. Hoping I can keep my date and time that I had at Thunderbird July 27th @ 1pm. She didn't really see why I couldn't be able too and would keep me posted! Just thought I would feel ya in on what's going on since I haven't posted in a very long time.

Lazy HOT Summer days!!

This summer we sure have been a lot more lazy than usual summers. Not going to as many places as we usually do. Given my Pregro circumstances I really don't want to be out past 12 in the afternoon it's just too dang HOT for me :( You can't seem to enjoy the park after 9 in the morning either it's just too darn HOT.

Next summer we will be much more active! I just know it. We still have fun here, coloring playing dolls, store, barbies, Library, the girls take cool bubble baths and just play,bubbles outside, munch on lots of Popsicles, and so much more!

We are all getting excited for the little Prince to be here!

~CRAVINGS~

Well pretty much ANY kind of fruit, but surprisingly cantaloupe has been my favorite! I can honestly say that I have downed 5 almost all to myself in the past month. Feel like most of my diet lately has consisted of strawberries, grapes, apples, and of course the juiciest watermelon! I am surprised haven't turned into any of these fruits just yet LOL! I guess I can say that one of the reasons am grateful to be pregnant in the summer is having all of these fruits in season for me to devour :)

testing

to see if my blog will let me post now...

Laundry!!!!!

Why do i fill like that's what I spend half my week doing. And to think that in two months and a week (not to be specific) I will be adding a fourth persons laundry to the mix (newborn you know what that means). My hands go down to you mothers who keep up on your laundry duties, by that I mean don't always have baskets of clean laundry in your room unfolded. If you have a secret to staying top of it please do SHARE. I am in need of a solution to the mess of never ending laundry..........before I completely loss my mind trying to do it!!

Summer Time FUN

It's on it's way I fill it! I'm looking forward to soaking up the sun Swimming at family and friends house Havinng this little guy Watching the girls enjoy all of the water activities Liberty learning to swim on her own Kennedy playing the pool she lOVES it having a better tan eating a the yummy fruits that are in season eating lots of frozen tasty treats

thoughts

Sorry about that really whiny post that I posted previously about my C-section stuff. I am still trying to decide which hospital to have it at... leaning more towards Thunderbird.


Some of my favorite things about being pregnant
~ being able to carry a sweet, sweet baby in my tummy
~ feeling the baby move, which he has been doing A LOT of the now for the past month
~ getting to eat a lot more of the foods I love
~ seeing the baby on the ultra sound video's
~ hearing the heart beat
~ being pregnant with this time with other girls has been fun to share feelings, cravings LOL
~ how complete strangers are just a little bit more nice to me than usual
~ looking at all of the cute little baby clothes


So far this has been a pretty good pregnancy free from any throwing up, which is always a plus. I just the first three months I pretty much couldn't sleep to save my life. And still pretty sometimes can feel like a complete zombie all day long. Am looking forward to the arrival of the little guy in less than four months now :) my good friend Jessica just had her little boy Garett last Monday and I got to go visit them Thursday night and it made me just even that much more excited to have my little guy. Because just like me she already had two girls and now a boy! He was so precious and kissable I love how snugly and squishy new borns are :)

Less than 4 months now...

But who's counting right...? So I have been debating back and fourth which hospital to have this C-section at..? I had both of the girls at Thunder bird Banner and loved it!! But we live so much closer to Arrowhead now so the thought of delivering there keeps on popping into my head. For Seth's convenience mainly, we are in the middle of trying to see who will stay with the girls at the house while we are at the hospital.... I know that everything will work out great in the end it's just the getting there sometimes that seems so scary, the unknown. So far I am am still leaning towards Thunder bird, but I still have plenty of time to change my mind. Oh and yeah I had an appointment yesterday and the date that I am having him his pretty much 100% set on the 29th of July!! Was so excited to hear that :) having the date set makes me stress out less so that way Seth can get time off work to be with me, and I can give family and friends more firm dates that I'll need their help.

And that's another thing that having C-sections has helped me to work on. That is just relaxing and letting people help me out after I have my baby, and not try to do it all my self like Super Women. Since my doctor gave me strict orders yesterday to only take care of my little man for the first to weeks and do my very best to have someone help me out with them. Since I did way too much bending up and down, and just stuff in general instead of just sitting on the couch or a bed, which has been a challange for me. So a result of that with Kennedy my incision opened up a bit from too much movement. So lesson I hope I learned from that was to chill out and just allow others to help me out for this short amount of time.

By the way I am having the hardest time naming this little BOY! The moment I think I have decided on a name I have already changed my mind about it. It's driving me nuts not having a name for him, so I'm hoping soon I'll have one.

Greatful

I have been post this for a couple of weeks now, however every time I get on and try to post one of the girl has needed my attention. Shortly after I found out I was having a little boy so many of my family and friends offered me boy things from clothes to a bouncer, and swing. So needless to say I am set on clothes for him until he is 9 months old. And even three bags of clothes to spare for anyone else in need. I know it might have not seemed like much to the people that gave me the baby items because they were no longer in need but I have continued to have a huge feeling of gratefulness for their giving ness to me of these things, and it has gotten me even that much more excited for him to come.

Calling All MOM'S......with BOYS

OK so I have been wondering ever since I found out I was having a boy what the best diaper to get him? I know what a crazy thing to be thinking but's that's just how my crazy mind works. I know that Pampers Swaddlers are the best while they are newborn's cause I used those on both of the girls too, but after that I don't know what's the best brand to buy? So I am up for any suggestions........... Thanks in advance! :)

It's a BOY!!

What else can I say .... I was SO WRONG!!

BOY or GIRL.......?

I am curious so see what you all think the sex of the BABY will be? So go on leave a comment

with what ya think it's going to BE????

In only 7 more day's and will ALL know for sure, so let's see if you're right.

Only NINE days till...........

We find out the sex of the baby!!! I can hardly wait, so glad that the appointment is an early that morning at 9:30 :) it will be the best Valentines Day gift EVER!!! Even though it will be a couple days after I don't care.

Little sneak peek family pic's 2011

We had so much fun taking these pictures with Lacie Lane a couple of weeks ago. She was amazing! Considering Kennedy did not sit still for ANY of the pictures, and her sister Liberty thought it would be so much fun to join in half the time. Should be getting the rest of the pictures in by the end of the week and will be posting my favorites soon.

So stay tuned in!!!!

Got some news!!!!

So I have been putting off telling everyone the news of me being pregnant for a long time now. I am three months pregnant now and going into my second tri-mester which means that I am more likely than not to have a miscarry from here on out. I'm sure most of you know that back in July I had a miscarriage which was hard, however I grew a lot from. And feel so blessed to already be 3 months pregnant with another angel that is due August 3rd just three day's before Seth and my anniversary so Doctor Bass already knows that I'd like to have the baby in July which he said is fine since I have C-sections. I will be finding out in just a month what the sex is and can hardly wait to see if we are going to have another little Princess or be introducing our first little boy into this Barnard family. I hope that everyone understands why I have waited so long to share this good news with you and is not upset, it has been SOOO HARD for me to keep this in, you all know me.
