Seems like all I do these last days of my pregnancy is complain. My back pain is getting worse again. I'm nauseous and fatigue. And hot.

I will try to end the complaining there! Wish me luck with that! Ha ha!

So, I'm a few days shy of being nine months, I mentioned that in the previous blog. Seeing that I went into labor on the last day of my 33rd week with Chloe, I've nearly gone two weeks longer than I did with her! Exciting (and excruciating...there I go again...)

On another happy note, today is my mama's birthday! Yay mama, I called her at like 6 this morning, 7 her time.

I'm not even joking! Everywhere I turn or every channel I watch there is SOMETHING about a baby! Yesterday a friend of Alex's wife had her baby. Today a girl I went to high school with had her baby (born 13 weeks early so praying for the little angel, but my friend says she is doing well!). Also yesterday, Alex's bike went dead right across the street from the hospital from where I will be having our baby. So I had to drive over there. Last night we were watching one of those birthing shows on Discovery Health. Today on House of Payne a lady ended up having a baby.

Welcome to the updated site! Hope you like it! Still working on it a little bit but this is pretty much it!

Let's see, I'm now 35 weeks pregnant, which officially means this pregnancy has lasted longer than my first. A blessing and a curse. My next appointment is next Tuesday. From what the nurse said, my doctor should take me off the Procardia (Nefidepine) next week. From my research, once I'm completely off I could really go into labor at anytime!

Boy did we clean up at that consignment sale! Got a crib, mattress, clothes and some things for the girls at an amazing price! I'm already looking forward to the next one! We kept eying this play place for outside, but someone seemingly bought it. But when we went back to pick up the crib and mattress, it was still there. Buyer had changed their mind. We decided to wait for the next consignment.

Hi all!

Went to the doctor this past Tuesday. Test came back negative, so I'm not going into preterm labor! Yay! She also said if Rusty can cook another three to four weeks he will be just fine to deliver! That makes me excited and nervous.

We will have another baby in the house. So tiny and helpless. This weekend and the beginning of next week they are having a huge consignment sale in Fort Worth for baby things! We're going to go on Tuesday when everything is 50% off...I'm sure we'll hit the jackpot.

Hi All!

Just checking in....went to the doctor. For the last few weeks I've been having minor contractions on and off. They're not constant and it only happens maybe once or twice a week. The doctor said it is more than likely Braxton Hicks. But since I've had a pre-term labor, we're being very precautious.

She gave me a check up to see if my cervix was dilated. She said I was one cm on the outside.She gave me medicine that should completely stop the contractions. She also gave me a steroid shot that will help the baby's lungs develop quicker. I have to go back today and take another.

I'm sitting here with my cellphone on my belly watching and feeling the baby to Muay Thai or something in my stomach! It's funny to watch the phone bounce around.

We're making plans for the arrival of little Rusty. What to do if Alex is at work when I go into labor. What to do about the kids. If Brittany is in school and things like that.

This morning I woke up and felt different. Alex asked me how. Not bad, just different. My body feels different. I think it's preparing to have this baby in the next few weeks.

Just wanted to let everyone know, my glucose test came back normal. No signs of gestational diabetes! Yay. I must be eating right a little...lol...

Although the nurse I spoke to annoyed the crap out of me. She wasn't either one of the nurses I have usually talked to. And it doesn't take much for people to annoy me lately. Something annoyed me the other day...oh a comment someone made to me on a site I frequent. Talked about it with a friend on there and she told me not to let it get to me. Someone took something I said and twisted it all around...

It's been more than a month since I blogged...there's been quite a bit going on!

We celebrated Chloe's third birthday! Took her to the zoo, Build a Bear, and had a little cake and ice cream at home.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant now...ten to go, four until when Chloe was born. And I have a feeling little Rusty is going to come early just like his big sister. As long as he's healthy, the arrival is more than welcome! But of course we want him to stay in and get bigger and stronger and all that good stuff.
