Just have some pics to share

ok, so I have been hassled for pictures. So here are some. I really do need to try to be better about this. The first picture is me at 17 weeks. The second picture is me at 19 weeks. I just took it this morning. And the last picture is me this morning. Just thought I would give you all a smile! Does my face look like it might be getting fatter also? I don't know if you can tell from this pic, but I have been having awful acne problems with my pregnancy. More so than I have ever had. My makeup covers it pretty well in the morning, but don't come see me in the evening! haha
Anyways, my belly is definitely growing!!!! YEY!!! I just want a big healthy baby. But big in moderation not big! LOL

Baby Movements

19 weeks (tomorrow) Whew half way there!
Well I am now feeling the baby. I have been feeling movements for about 2 weeks now! It's the most wonderful thing. And very neat! Most of the time its mostly flutters and bubblies, but the other day it was like a thud. Just one but was really cool. Only 2 more weeks until I find out what the baby is! JULY 8! And I can't wait. I have so much to do! My sister-in-law Donna send home a whole bunch of stuff with her parents this last weekend. I have like 5 or 6 boxes of stuff I need to go through. Lot's of clothes and blankets and things. She collected a bunch of stuff from people she knew also. She sent Ryley's crib also. I need to get it out of the box and clean it up and make sure I can use it. There are a bunch of things that were in her garage so we moved to our garage and I need to go through outside and clean it all! But that should be fun, because its all baby stuff. So if you wonder what I'll be up to this weekend....wonder no more! lol There was one box of clothes I did go through and all these little 0-3mths clothing, and somehow it just makes it all seem so more real! Weird, but it was just different you know.
Things have been good. Getting bigger! I wish I had a new pic up. I will try to get one soon!
Hope all is well with everyone!

A Blaze of Glory?

Ok, so not exactly a blaze of glory, but a blaze none the less. Well I guess I better fess up and tell everyone what happened. I have experienced and learned alot while being pregnant. And my most important lesson came this last weekend. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK, PLEASE DON'T TRY TO, WHILE YOU ARE PREGNANT! Robyn almost burnt the house down this weekend. If Clint wouldn't have been there, I am sure I would have. I was cooking supper, and Clint had just brought in some fresh squash and okra from the garden. So I start to heat up the grease. Well I knew the grease was a little dirty, but figured I could get another cooking out of it. So I start to cut up everything. During this time my mind is also preoccupied with the chicken fried steak I have going and when to start the potatoes and when to start the gravy, and the million other things that occupy my mind during a day. So anyway I notice before I put the okra in that I have more that likely burned the grease. But I tell myself oh well, it should still be ok. So I dump in the okra. That's when it all happend. The grease started overflowing out of the pan. HOT GREASE mind you. I don't know if I screamed for Clint or just panicked and he knew to come running, but he came in there quick. I was just standing there not sure what to do. Clint's daddy was burned really bad last year by hot grease, so I yelled at Clint not to touch it. Well he disobeyed. (probably a good thing) he grabbed the pan and took it off the hot burner. (something I could not have done without burning myself) he was going to turn the burner off, when the flames began blazing. They reached to the top of the vent and were big and huge. I though to grab the fire extinguisher, but Clint told me no, you can't put out a grease fire with a regular extinguisher. So I know you smother it but its a flat stove top and grease is everywhere. SMOTHER WITH WHAT! (later I thought about the baking soda in the fridge or flour, but not at this moment) Of course by now I am crying!! Anyways, long story short, my wonderful hero of a husband got everything under control and cleaned up all the mess. Dinner sucked that night but we lived and so did the house. If he wouldn't have been there, I have no clue what would have happened. As you can imagine, I cried for an hour or two, and then felt like poopie afterwards. It took me all night to get myself back together. Clint tried to comfort me, but at the point I was at, there was no return.
Moral of the story......you husbands are absolutely good for something.....no j/k. Really, just be careful while cooking and pregnant.

16 week Dr. Appt

Well I am 16 weeks.
Went to the Dr. this morning. The appt took all of about 30 min. That included the blood work they did on me. She was testing my hemoglobin's for an iron deficiency. We will see how that comes out. We listened to the baby's heart beat. It was strong, and she said very good. She said I have only gained 2 lbs since my last visit, which she is ok with as long as I keep gaining. She said as long as the baby stays healthy her goal is for me to gain 20 lbs.
NO SONO done today. She said next visit we will do another sono and see if its a boy or a girl. Next appt is July 8......Is it July yet?
I will be almost 21 weeks by then.
Anyway it was a good visit, she said the baby and I were healthy. That's all I can ask for.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
