Crazy Dream

Ok, this could be the strangest dream I've ever had! Last night I dreamt that Mike gave birth, to kittens in a bath tub with Lucas and Sami (from Days of our Lives) assisting in the birth!
He was in this bathtub, in a room and Lucas was in the tub with him, helping. When the kittens were born they were very tiny and they just kinda floated around the tub until Sami caught them. Something happened in the middle of the birth because Lucas and I were yelling at each other and he kicked me out of the room!! LOL. I don't know how it ended because Landon came running into our room in the middle of the dream and woke me up!
How crazy! This is the first really strange dream I've had this pregnancy, but I think it tops the list!!

27 Weeks - 13 To Go!

I had my monthly doc. appointment last Tuesday. Everything was good. I gained a few pounds from the last time I was there, but I guess that's to be expected. The baby's heart rate started out at 160 bpm, then it moved away and when the doc. found it again it was 130 bpm. So we really have no clue about the gender of this baby. (The wives tale is that above 140 is a girl and below is a boy.) I don't remember Landon's heart rate. Oh well, I'll just have to wait.

We have been talking about names again... it's so hard to pick a name. You want something that will work for them even when they are 80 years old. I got a new name book, so I'll have to flip through that later.

Not much to report. Just waiting for our miracle. I'm so excited. I wish it was June!

26 Weeks, 2 Days - 14 To Go!

This baby is so active. Seems like I am always getting kicked or head butted. The other night I woke up because the baby was moving and I put my hand on my stomach. I would feel something hard. I figured it was either a head or a butt.
The ladies on ivillage.com that know they are having girls say that they are more active than when they were pg with their sons. Hmmm... another clue at the sex of this baby? I'm not sure, but it won't be long until we find out!!
The other day I was thinking about Grandma Tines and how much she wanted girls in her family. It would be nice to name this baby after her if it is a girl. I think the family would like that. Not to mention she's a pretty great lady to be named after!
I guess I must be nesting because I have a list sitting beside me of things I need to do! WOW. I'm running out of time and there is a lot to do.
Mike said last night he's ready for the baby. I have to agree, I can't wait for this baby to get here. Time is going to fly... I hope.

25 Weeks - 15 To Go!

Well, I got lots of cute clothes this weekend. Even a dress I can wear to a wedding we have coming up. I was pretty excited. I might have went a little bit over board, but it felt like I didn't have anything to wear. I'm sure I will wear them with the next baby!

I'm committed to working out now! I will walk at least 4 times a week. It's good for me and I need to control my weight!! Maybe it will make this labor a little easier!! I'll try anything...

Getting Closer...

I was looking at my Doc Appointment Ticker at the top of the page and thinking about my next appointment. I hope this isn't the one where I have to drink that sweet crap! Yuck. I had Lemon/Lime with DS, I'll have to try something else this time.

Wow, I'll be almost 7 months by the time I have my appointment. I'm almost to the point where I have to go every week. We are going to have a new baby in the family before I know it.

I'm part of an ivillage message board for women who are pregrant again, for the 2nd or 6th time. There was a woman who posted the other day because she was pregnant, and she had a 7 month old. She was worried that she wouldn't love the new baby as much as her DD. I'm not worried about having enough love, but I'm worried about having enough time. I don't want Landon to think that the new baby is more important than him. I know that I'll have to spend a lot of time caring for the baby, but I want to remind myself that Landon needs attention too. A good reason to NOT hold this baby every hour of the day. "It" is going to have to get used to sitting in a bouncer or swing, because my little man will want to play with his mommy too. I know I can do it and I'm glad that DH will be home for a few months after the baby is born. It will help keep both my boys busy if they have each other. (They both get kinda jealous.)

24 Weeks (6 Months) - 16 Weeks To Go!

I can not believe I'm so close! 16 weeks... isn't very long. The first 16 weeks didn't take that long. But I know that these will because they are at the end. The end always takes longer than the beginning. Besides that, no one but DH and I knew until 12 weeks.

Well, I'm trying to exercise more. I've been doing pretty good. Been out at least twice this week, which I know isn't great, but it's better than not at all.
