Been a few.

I'm getting closer and closer to my due date. I'm almost 36 weeks along. For the most part, this has been an enjoyable pregnancy. Except for the aches and pains, but you know what, giving life to someone, it's well worth it. I'm finally at a happy and satisfying point in my life. I have the ideal family I always dreamed of, 2 boys a girl, pets, a great home to raise them in, and a wonderful and amazing husband who made it all possible. And now he's even talking about plans of getting a contracting job next month so I don't even have to return to the horrible work place that always puts me in such a bad mood. I truly am blessed.



         I had friends throw me a baby shower a few days ago and I appreciate all the work and time and money they put into it so much.   It truly meant the world to me that they did that for me. I'm happy to have made a new friend that tries to do things with me and give me a life outside of the mommy world.
             My last day of work is the 23rd but I'm hoping it's sooner than that. If this little guy is anything like his big brother and sister, he will be here no later than 2 weeks. Summer is the cutest thing. It just saddens me sometimes that she didn't get to be the baby for very long. But at least I know she is going to be thrilled when he gets here and I know she is going to be an awesome big sister and help out as much as she can. Probably too much, lol. And Alex is excited that he's gonna have another boy to play with. I'm scared, very much so of what it's gonna be like when he gets here and especially if Bryce gets this job working 12 hour days plus motomart, he's gonna be gone a lot and it's gonna be up to me to take care of the three rugrats all on my own. that's the only part I don't like about it. Summer may be able to start head start next year and so that will help out a lot with 2 of them in school.
       Well, I guess I will close this now. Enjoy your happy cheerful blog post from me, they don't come around that often lol.

Baby Update.

I had a pretty good birthday yesterday. Silas is perfectly healthy. He weighs 3 pounds and everything is as good as it should be. The SUA (the umbilical cord issue) turned out to be nothing.  He is transverse though. And I failed my glucose test. I have to go back to Columbia next monday to do not a 3 hour one, but a FOUR hour one. I failed these tests with Summer and they said I was borderline for having gestastional diabetes, so I bet I have it this time. I also asked the doctor if he would schedule a c-sec and he told me no that it was not needed and it would be better if I went the other way. I almost cried. I'm so scared I'm going to die. He said he would schedule an induction after he checks my cervix whenever he does that. I told him I had both my kids 2 weeks early and did not want to be stuck in rolla and have to drive to columbia in labor. So besides the glucose test next week my next appointment is Halloween. I should be 34 weeks then and I'm hoping I get checked so he will schedule the induction date. But apparently my heart is doing well enough he thinks a c-sec is not necessary. Well enough about that.
 After the appointment, Bryce took me out to eat at Longhorn Steakhouse then we headed home and he made me the most amazing dessert ever. I have a pic on my phone whenever I can get around to uploading it. It was chocolate french toast with a layer of strawberries and whipped cream, carmel syrup and chocolate syrup, then another layer of the chocolate french toast which was made of brownies and french toast and another layer of strawberries, whipped cream, syrup and topped with an orange zest.  And then for some TMI,  he gave me the best birthday sex ever, lol. My husband is the best. So I had a pretty good birthday.
