The baby made me forget.....

I've just noticed something.
I haven't used my "signature" on my last few posts.
DUH!
I'll be posting my signature now that I noticed my over-sight. Oooops!

"Late" Update



I should have updated yesterday, but I'm a lazy slob! (Only I can say that about myself, thank you!)

Saturday, my mom, sister and I had a "Girl's Day Out". We got two black kittens for my sister. We had Indian cuisine for lunch, went to a pottery workshop, bought some goodies at the Dollar Tree and had afternoon "desserts" at Applebee's. It was a wonderful time being with my mom and sis. Something tells me to enjoy times like that now, because after Baby Moose is born, I'm sure they'll happen less and less often.

My daddy has built me two changing tables for our son. One for his nursery and one to set up down stairs. I like the idea of having a "changing station" on both levels. That way, I won't have to run around trying to find what I need. If I stock them identically, hopefully, I will be able to avoid that inconvenience. And the fact that my daddy actually MADE them is awesome, too! Sure, we could've bought something, but his own craftsmanship makes it more special, to me. He plans to turn them into bookshelves when changing is no longer required. AWESOME!

Mr. Moose moved the computer stuff into our "office" this weekend. Now we can begin working on the nursery. I'm soooooooooooo bloody excited! There is a bookshelf and organizing system that still needs to be moved, but at least we've started. I can hardly believe it! YAY!

I went onto my friend LYNDA'S blog this morning. Seems Lily enjoys being tucked away inside her mommy and didn't make her grand entrance yesterday. I told Lynda what I've always heard: First babies are usually late and not to worry. I'm so anxious for them, though!

Well, the county fair comes to town Friday. I always enjoy going. We never ride the rides because we are winnies. I do like the Ferris Wheel, however. We always like to look at the exhibits, sign up for sweepstakes and sample the fair cuisine. This year, I hope we'll be able to attend with my parents and sister/brother-in-law. I can already tell I'll have to have several breaks, however. I get so winded here lately.

Baby Moose is getting stronger everyday. Sometimes he kicks me and it takes my breath away. I know the little bugger is only 2 1/2 lbs. and 14 inches long, but he's a tough one. I just know he'll be a linebacker one day! :D

I'm gonna go take a nap now. I am partial to resting alot now because I won't get to when our son arrives.

Have a great day, all!

Congratulations, Lynda!


My friend, Lynda, is due to give birth today!

I'm so excited!!
I know it will hurt like the devil, but she's a strong woman and I have no doubt Miss Lily Jean will be PERFECT!

Please pray for Lynda, Lily and their Daddy/Hubby, Miguel.

I'm so happy and excited for them! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi There!

I apologize for not updating yesterday. Mr. Moose would not budge from the computer, so I'm having to update now, while he's at work. :)



My appointment went well yesterday. Baby Mooses's heartbeat is 140 beats/minute (which is well within normal range). My tummy is 22 inches and I've only gained 3 lbs. since my last visit. HURRAY!


My tummmy's swelling and Mr. Moose told me last night that I've never looked more precious. He is such a wonderful hubby and will be a great Daddy, I just know it!


My doctor told me I'll have to begin having 2-week appointments now, as opposed to the monthly appointments I have been having. (It's getting so close now!)


My next appointment (Oct. 8) I have to do a 1 hour glucose blood test. We will also be having our 4-D sonogram. I can hardly wait! Now I can convince Mr. Moose that our son DOES have his nose! Excited much! My parents are jazzed up, too. They will be attending the sonogram with us. YAY!



Last night, around 5:00, I had a craving for Kellog's Corn Pops cereal. Mr. Moose was forced to go to our neighborhood grocery store and grab me a box. I HAD to have them! I haven't had to many cravings, but, the Pops were a necessity. I had some last night and for breaky this morning. OH! They were SOOOOO good! :D


Well, I am not sure what all is on task for today. I know I'll be having lunch with my Daddy and that I need to fold some clothes. Otherwise, I suppose I'm pretty open. Guess I'll just "go with the flow".



Happy Friday, all!

Appointment Day

(An example of a 3 D sonogram)

I'm excited!

Today is OB appointment day. I believe I'll be able to schedule Baby Mooses's 3-D sonogram today. I'll let you know if I'm able to. (It's a little pricey, but well worth it, I believe!)

I will post whatever we find out later today. Wish us luck! YAY!

Nightly Excursions

Last night I went to the potty so many times, I stopped counting after 12. I had a glass of water about 30 minutes before bed. Apparently that was a HUGE mistake!

Being pregnant has taken a toil on my sleeping pattern. I haven't slept through the night in almost 5 1/2 months. I know it will be even worse when Baby Moose is crying all night. Goodie!

I am going to have to have a nap today. Mr. Moose was concerned and told me to "take it easy" today. I think I will!

Pics of My Weekend Goodies



This is a pic of 4 post cards that Lynda made for me. She's thinking of selling these and several more post cards made from images of her photography. Aren't they great?



This is a pic of the "Thank You" note she sent to me thanking me for some goodies I sent her for her unborn daughter. It has an oriental feel, don't you think?

The last pic is of Christmas scrapbooking items she recently obtained in an on-line swap. Lynda doesn't celebrate Christmas and she knows I scrapbook so she hooked me up! They are perfect.


Thank you, so much, Lynda for my goodies! You're a great pal! :D
