35 weeks and the 4th

Well, I only have 4-5 weeks left! I have gained 6 lbs so far and my doctor can't believe it, I can't either. This past weekend we went to the beach for a family reunion, kinda. The weather was perfect for me, just under 60. The kids had a blast and Patrick got to fly his kites. I didn't get to do very much, but it was still nice. Seeing all my Dad's siblings was cool too. Here are some of the picts.

32 Weeks...and counting!

Only 8 weeks to go!! The doctor says I'm doing very good. I've only gained 2 lbs since Jan 9th! Can you believe it? I can't. She says my contractions aren't close enough to worry about, so I'm not. Hopefully the next few weeks will pass very quickly! A wedding, 4th of July at the beach, baby shower and more. I know the picts aren't that great this time. What can I say. The first one was Patrick and the second was Nellie. I wasn't having that great of a day anyway, so smiling was hard to fake. That's about all for now.

2 days later...

Her eye keeps getting worse! The blood is pooling and making it more swollin. Poor girl!

28 Weeks

Yesterday was the 7 month mark. It's not going fast enough for me. I'm hoping he comes early, only because I feel horrible all the time. Other than that, things are good. I go to the doctor on Wednesday and we'll see what she says then. I have been having LOTS of contractions for about a month now that have made me slow down a bit. I will be a lot happier when this pregnancy is over! In other news, Nellie's lovely eye was due to a "horse" accident. Daddy was being the horse and her and Samantha were on his back at the same time. Needless to say they got bucked off and Samantha fell on top of Nellie's eye. She screamed for a good 2 hours. I think daddy is excited for a boy to be in the house. Today also marks Samantha's 4th birthday! I can't believe she is 4 already!! She wanted doughnuts for breakfast and then we went to DQ for ice cream after pre-school. Her party will be this Saturday so I'll put up picts after that. If there is anything important after the appointment I'll post more.

*New Look *

So, for a long time Nellie has hated her hair brushed, things put in it, or anything having to do with hair. Every morning is a fight! I keep saying I'm going to shave it all off, but I know that would just make her happy. The other morning she said her hair was getting too long and it needed to be cut. So we went that day and I told the person just to cut it all off. This is what she did. Nellie absolutely loves it! She even told the lady that that was exactly how short she wanted it. It is so easy to do! I couldn't believe it. We just blow dry it after bath and then when she wakes up in the morning it is the same as the night before. It's great! Hopefully it won't grow too fast and we can keep it up.

24 weeks ~ 6 months

I think he is growing! I do see a change from the last month. We are both doing good. Samantha is very happy that it is a boy, but Nellie wanted a girl so she is not happy. It took me about 3 days to get her ok with the fact that she can't change what is in there. Hopefully she will be happier when he actually comes. Patrick is a proud dad. He has the "manhood" picture on his phone and watch and shows people regularly. I guess that is all for now.

It's a BOY!!

All the family knows now so we can tell all of you. It is a boy and we are very excited! As you can tell in the picts it was very obvious so there is no doubt. Everything looks good with me and him and we don't have to go back to the doctor for 6 weeks.
