Good Grief!!!!!!!!

I wanted to change my background and somehow deleted all my links! Give me a little while and I'll try to get them back up! Also, you all could make a comment and I could have your blog adddress easier, too!

Doctor's visit

Well, we have a change of plans! We moved Brylee's birthday up to February 11. I've been feeling a lot of pressure and pain down lower on my belly lately. That's because she is SO LOW! I'm not dilated at all and my cervix is closed. But the doctor asked if I felt like I was sitting on her head! I measured at 36 weeks (which is what I am). The reason for the decrease from 2 weeks ago is because she has moved so far down in the pelvis. We are so excited that she'll be here in 11 days! I've got a lot to do during this week and a half. Austin's birthday is the 9th and we are having his party at the bowling ally on that Saturday.

I hope the weather is good where you are. We've just had a lot of rain today. But I know some of you are getting worse weather than that. Well, I'm off to change over the laundry. Until next time............

Update

We had a great weekend! Jason and Julie came up for a visit and I got some great cuddle time with Jarett. I go to the doctor tomorrow. Not sure what she'll say when I measure full term :)
I am so uncomfortable, not sleeping, and extremely tired. Ya know......everything that comes with the last month of pregnancy. I am SO ready! If she moves up my date, that would be great! If not, I have 19 days left until we see her precious face. Either way I'll make it. Mom and Dad are coming for my shower this weekend. Mom sent some shirts my way.....thanks! It's nice to have a couple that actually fit! I'll post tomorrow about my appointment.

Progress!

My friend Ann began painting today! I am so excited. She is so creative and has some really cute ideas for all around the room. She had 3 boys, so getting to do a girly room is so fun for her. I thought I'd give you a sneak-peak of what she did today. I saw some cute big brother shirts online the other day, but they were too expensive. I went to our local sports store and they had just what I wanted and cheaper. Here are 2 pictures of the boys shirts. The front has "Big Brother '08" and the back is just their name. The boys love them and I think Austin plans to wear his to school tomorrow :)

Tah-Dah!!!!!!!!!

Here it is!!!!! Sorry my head is cut off, but the 7 year old photographer did the best he could :) All my shirts fit tight, as you can imagine. Not sure what I'll be wearing to church tomorrow! And I still have 4 weeks to go! God help me!

Doctor's appointment

Kent and I went for my appointment yesterday. Everything is good and now I'm measuring 3 weeks farther along than I really am!!!!!!! She said Brylee isn't engaged yet and is making the most of her space in my belly. I have a feeling she's going to be BIG! Dr. Watson said if she was down farther in the pelvis it would be cause for concern, but since she's not...no big deal. I go back in 2 weeks and then every week following. I truly can't believe this pregnancy is coming to an end. I really have tried to enjoy it, but right now I just feel like a huge cow! :) So, I got my hair done today. I swear I'm a hair schizophrenic with cuts and color. In the past 14 months I've been a red head, brunette, and now I'm back to blonde! I've grown out my hair, layered my hair, and now it's short again. Maybe I'll post a pic of the big belly and new hair for you viewing pleasure.
