That's my boy!

Dear Little man- I hope you are enjoying being a  pain now and are getting it out of your system before your big arrival. A little cooperation at some point would be nice- and moving upwards a bit would also be appreciated. Love, Mommy


 After much prodding and tilting- Squishy wasn't going to cooperate. He is still upside down and very snug next to my bladder- which explains why walking and standing are very painful at this point. Since he was happily squished pretty low in my pelvis- we tried 3D and got something that resembled a Mars mission photo. He was also being shy and was reluctant to show off his man goods. Hands were still on his face and in tight little fists. He measured in at 2 pounds 1 ounce and everything looked good.

We have reached the viability point and while we have no desire to test any theories- if he was to debut today he would be able to make it with a little extra TLC and medical help. I was prescribed a belt for the abdominal pain, since he is sitting so low it is causing issues when I stand or walk- I think I will look for one online first, and see if it helps. I have found that sleeping on my back is about the only comfortable position, and even saying that- it really is more like sleeping reclined since I have so many pillows and supports on either side of me.

Still wanting to do maternity pics- one to capture this on film- even though I have been taking the weekly shots- much to my husbands reluctance- I want something a little more professional, and it will be nice to get a final picture of the two of us before Squishy arrives. My goal is to schedule them for mid-September so I have time to get them printed and incorporated into thank-you cards for the shower. That's about all for now- massage therapy next week and anxiously awaiting the glucose results to see if I have to do the 3 hour test again, which is HORRIBLE! Hoping that daddy can make it to the next ultrasound appointment and that for once our little peanut will cooperate and give us some good shots

Just one of those days

" Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here...THE TANK IS CLEAN?! The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish. - curse you AquaScum !!! "  Quick- name that movie! ... anyone?  Finding Nemo of course! The sun IS shining, it IS a temperate 63 degrees out, and I am at work- with my beautiful view of the dumpster where the elderly man frequently confuses the stairwell for a bathroom and the trashbags for a free buffet!  In addition to that little chunk of heaven- I get to go rounds with one of our companies. Without getting into too many details- it's like trying to explain to a deaf person what sound a cow makes- doesn't matter how many times you write, act out, draw or mime- you get the same result- a blank stare. Normally, I can tolerate this company and the stress, craziness, stupidity and insan

Caden William

After a short two hours in the outside world, Caden, our perfect happy little boy was taken to the nursery to get checked out and cleaned up. A nurse came in shortly to let us know that regrettably, Caden was breathing a little faster than he should have been and that he would be moved to the special care nursery (NICU) to be evaluated. Usually babies are there about 24 hours and then are good to go back to mom and the regular nursery- and he just needed a little extra attention for a few good hours.  Dad had just left to go home and shower and gather himself. I called him, still calm and collected, and still surrounded by family. I was worried sick about my little boy and my dad took me in my wheelchair later to see him in his incubator. To sit and only make contact through a little hole with your baby is about the most helpless feeling ever. His little chest was going at what seemed like a million miles a minute. The nurse explained that his box was helping regulate his oxyge

Intestinal-Abdominus Who- I. Hate. You

This is how I feel currently- insert various stomach/ abdominal organs where Who-names are located... I am on Day Two of an antibiotic for my Bladder, in addition to the "pre-diabetes" med- which my Chiropractor kindly commented, aren't we all "pre-diabetic?" Thank-you Dr. Bill!, the prenatal vitamins, thyroid meds, Align, the extra Fiber, the colace, and the spiked apple juice that are all trying to combat my overstressed and non-working intestines. It's really like a party in my stomach right now! I feel like my medications have enrolled in e-harmony and are looking for their perfect match and just keep getting more friend to visit! Someone really needs to cancel their 90 day free trial! Basically I am miserable, I am up constantly at night to pee, then I can't go back to sleep (even though I don't turn on any lights so as not to disrupt my body's internal clock). By the time I do fall asleep my husband is leaving for work and then I have
