Reflections of 2004
Well here it is New Years Eve. Time is ticking...Her eon the West coast. Counting down until 2005. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. So much has happened this year.
We have had some rough times. Again we made it through with grace and dignity and of course learned from it all .
My marriage:I think that through the year my marriage is stronger. We have taken to time on this shore duty to spend getting to reconnect and strengthen our marriage. I think we even did it without realizing it.
My children: Lots of stuff happened with DS#1 and his "special needs". Everything from his hearing aid, possible surgery and hospitalization to the triumphs he has had at school and in life. He has grown a lot as a young man. He is learning slowly...but learning how not to let his emotions get the better of him. He is a wonderful child with a heart of gold. I know his future holds so many wonderful things.
DS#2, Oh I have watched him do so many things. Watching him evolve into an even MORE wonderful little man. Watching him in class the progress he is making is astounding. He is so bright and full of life and love. He is so helpful to his fellow classmates and truly has a caring soul. He is still an old man in a little boys body... but it is how he is and it fits him so well. I am curious to see how he continues to grow... whatever will he become??
Friends: I have reconnected with a few friends. Those friends though ...we could be separated by half the earth... we could be apart for years and still come back together like there was never any time apart. Friends that I will never let go.
World events: There have been so many tragedies. Some I cannot even fathom. They all break my heart. I feel so powerless. All I can do is hold those people in my thoughts and prayers.
Hopes for the coming year... Well The most obviously glaring thing... Baby G will be arriving in 2005!!! When I found out we were pregnant, 2005 seemed a lifetime away. Now here it is. I am so excited and so apprehensive...all at the same time. How is that possible? I have dreamed of adding another child to our family... now my dream is coming true. Each movement and yes even hiccup hehe connects me more and more to this child.
I hope DS #1 and 2 are happy and that they grow and evolve more into the gentlemen they are becoming.
I hope dh is happy and is fufilled at work and at home. And that each day he know how very much I love and adore him and how much the boys look up to him as a wonderful role model and great father.
For me.... what more can I ask for? I have it great. A wonderful husband who means the world to me, 2 handsome boys who are the light of my life and a little one on the way who already fills my heart with joy.
Life is good. I will look back at 2004 with fondness and warm memories and I look forward to 2005 and all it will bring!!

Todays FUNNY
This little one; just like my last, has had hiccups for awhile. For the longest time I have been the only one able to feel them. Well he is big enough now his hiccups can be felt and seen by the family hehe. I called over DS#2 since the other guys were out bike riding. He felt it and said wow that is cool. Then he told the baby (through the belly) to drink some of the water he is swimming in! LOL Ayway it is just so cool to feel and now see the baby hiccup I actually giggle watching it

31 weeks today
Well all time is moving along.
Things are going well. Took a good ol' belly shot for the baby album. Something I was not brave enough to do with the other two, the bare belly shot. But heck I am proud to show off the belly. ;) A little disappointed that my old battlescars (stretch marks) showed up like new ones. But It was OK.
Well lets see. I am going to go pick up my last layaway item soon. The 3-in-1 car seat. I have some other things to get BUT I can get them when I can get them.
I had a rough day yesterday. Baby G was way up into my lungs. I had a hard time breathing. Which led to a sort of panic attack. I spent the day battling that. Took an approved sleeping pill and slept. When I woke up I felt much better. Overnight he dropped WAY down. And through today he has come back up again hahaha. It has been a day of the ever changing belly shape,size location.
DH and I are trying to get to the family reunion for his family in October. We tried price checking flights.... yeah unless a family member can somehow comp us tickets. That is NOT going to happen. We looked into taking a train... Would you believe only $200 less than flying?? and it takes that much longer! So we will be driving! We have been talking about getting another car. The one we have is GREAT but it will not work with the the 3 boys 2 dogs and luggage. So it looks like we will be trading in my truck (boohooo) and taking on a second car payment (our current car is almost paid off the truck is paid off). And will be getting a van probably. I look forward to the road trip....... I hope we can hit even more states I have not been to. Maybe this time go across ID, MT, ND, SD, NE and then KS. That way tada 5 states I haven't been to :) Plus anything to stay off the 82 LOL Even with the little one... it is always fun to go on a road trip and experience America :)
I feel good all in all. Tired BUT as DH says I am sleeping for two now too hehe.
We have the bassinet and the swing up. No covers or sheets yet, do not want them to get dusty. Just have them out to get a feel for it and get the dogs used to them. Now to move a few things around in our room to make room for the co-sleeper.
Oh and DH learned that Costco is a bad place to take a hungry pregnant woman HAHAHA

Marriage post
You know it seems the trend lately on the boards I post at that marriage issues and or divorces are running rampant. This is a vent about those situations (no one else)
Seems everyone is having problems with their husband. He is an insensitive jerk, cheating with some girl, just decided he doesn't want to be married anymore etc etc.
In one way it makes me realize how wonderful my husband is. But then again maybe he is just a rareity in this "modern" age I suppose... a REAL man.
I let him know that he is a wonderful husband and that I lucked out marrying him... He says he lucked out with me... there are days though I wonder if that is true hehehe...
I just get so sick hearing all of these problems. Not that I am irritated they are talking about it BUT.... That there is so much of this stuff going on. So many people wanting to just throw in the towel because things are a little rocky... true some of the spouses are true pricks and should have never been given the chance in the first place but still....
Why are people so hesitant to work on their marriages and would rather just give up? A lot of where the term "starter marriage" comes from. I really dislike that term too I was reading one of my magazines the other day and that term was used in the tips to a good marriage section (OH MY GOODNESS!!). Is that what society has come to. Everyone needs a "starter marriage"??? I know things do not always work out. I do not have rose colored glasses. But is nothing worth WORKING for anymore?
UGH anyway I am glad to be in the marriage that I am in. He respects me. He is a good man. He is a good family man a good father, a great friend and companion..............

30 week update
Well today I hit 30 weeks. I cannot believe how far along I am. Heck being in the 30's feel so GREAT. 30 weeks... yup just feels great to say ;)
DH said if this little guy Makes his appearance on George Washington's birthday that we will name him George Washington! lol Hey why not... It will be something that will be special for the little guy!
Anyway the doctors appointment went well. the doc took awhile listening to the babys heartbeat so Baby G kicked HARD. lol The doc said I guess I am done because he has had enough! He said that was a strong kick I said yup you should feel it from this side lol. The heartrate is fine. I gained a pound in 2 weeks which puts me at 12 pounds total thus far. Doc said he would like to see only about 10 pounds more and that will put me under my prepregnancy weight when I deliver lol
We all went up to the labor and delivery ward at our little hospital. They have 2 labor and delivery rooms a few back-ups and a couple post partum rooms. REALLY small. But the nurse was great (no one was in there delivering) she talked to us about everything took the time to show us everything and answered every question we had. It was funny. At this hospital they are VERY liberal in how many people you can have in during the delivery. In the one room there was a recliner, rocking chair and 3 other chairs lol We commented on that and she said if you need more we can get more! hehehe Heck I can have a whole cheering section hehe.
I am just VERY anxious about little guys arrival. So excited. I just want to have him here at home happy and healthy.

Sad and a bit PO'd
Well after my doctor appointment and the tour of Labor and delivery...asking both about cord blood and hitting the we do not do donations here... AGAIN. We then went to a local store and read a poster about a local high school kid who is being sent home from Childrens hospital because the chemo is failing for his leukemia. He is being sent home to spend his last moments with his family.
Here I am trying to donate a potentially life saving thing. Something that who knows may have helped this child. Yet I cannot donate because I am not at the right hospitals (in Seattle).
I offered to family if anyone has a disease that cord blood could help treat they are welcome to it. But still it looks like it will go to waste. It saddens me. Of course hearing about that boy and him coming home to die.... ugh made me cry and feel like I can do more but I am sort of "not being allowed to help"

TIRED
Oh man this week has already been jam packed. We still have the rest of the week full of appointments and all. I just need to be 2 people I think.
I have my 30 week OB Appt on Thursday.
Tomorrow I am taking the boys to the commissary to decorate christmas cookie ornaments. they should have fun.... good ol sponsored FREE event ;) love it
We just watched the kids Christmas program. You know it was actually refreshing. In a state where a CHRISTmas tree lot had to apologize for calling them Christmas trees and said they should of been referred to as "holiday" trees. Give me a break. I am respectful of everyone elses religions but why has this country shifted to people of Christian belief have to be ashamed and walk on eggshells??? OK OK I digress back to the original point of this! The boys' school had a CHRISTMAS program full of traditional songs etc. I enjoyed it. Some of the songs I have not heard in a school since I was in elementary school! But they were so sweet even brought a tear to my eye ;) btw for those of you wondering yes they do acknowledge and celebrate other religions too :)
Well we are pretty ready for Christmas here. Dh ran out on Santas "super secret squirrel mission" as he would say;) he Got the last one in the store (go sales!! )
The last box I was waiting for arrived so the oldests big present is here whew!!
Thank goodness hubby is home I am relaxing a little and I appreciate the extra set of hands. Now If I could get those magical Jeanie powers to clean the house haha but that is asking a bit much ;)
Life is good. Time is ticking down for the babys arrival I feel nowhere near ready that is for sure. But it will all be OK

29 week update (OK so a little late)
Things here have been moving quick. This pregnancy is coming so close to the end. Just so weird how fast it seems to have gone you know? It could be as little as 7 weeks to go!!! Less than 2 months!
I have hit the utter exhaustion phase of things. I cannot function if I do not get a nap. I actually get so tired I am physically in pain. I have to remember when my body says I have to rest that I need to listen.
I am pretty darn big LOL I joke my belly gets into the room 5 minutes before I do hehehe.
I am getting lovely comments from people like "Wow you are huge!! When are you due??" Gee thanks. Or in a matter of two days I heard I was carrying too low to be carrying a boy the next day... I was carrying to high to be having a boy! (different person though haha). But in general people... strangers who make the comments lol they are generally well meaning and nice.
Christmas is almost here. The boys are making out again this year. The boys and hubby are home for the next couple of weeks... Lord help my house! :) As soon as the Christmas tree is down the baby stuff goes up.
I have my appointment at 30 weeks this coming Thursday.
I will have my ultrasound to check out Baby G at about 35 weeks. we will know when he is coming or we should then. I had a dream That I had him on Lincoln's Birthday. The doctor said that he researched history and thought that this little guy had to be born on that day. Yeah weird dreams galore.
Baby G is quite the mover. He likes to really kicks/punches in two places. Sometimes at once hehe
I get the "baby but bulge" as hubby calls it. Where part of him actually sticks out! It is right above my belly button. It is funny as heck to see!
I am going to brave it and have hubby take some belly shots of me! yeah go figure :) No big deal. Great keepsakes for the little guys photo album I started.
Well that is about it :)
Until next time.

28 weeks-doctors update
Well I am 28 weeks today. Still in awe over making it this far and carrying a healthy baby.
Doctors appointment went well. I did not gain any weight. No worries there though. I am still measuring 4 weeks ahead so now I am at 32 weeks. Baby G's heartrate was 138 all perfectly normal. The doc said I was just great perfectly normal. I laughed and told him I think that is the only time someone has called me normal. I am now up to being seen every 2 weeks.
At 35 weeks which will be the end of Jan, They are going to give me another ultrasound. This ultrasound will be to determine his size and lung development. And if everything is good, and no further testing is needed...then we will probably set up an induction date.
This little guy is constantly moving :) he is doing great. A couple of quiet days are followed by very active days. Some back pain, some pelvic bone pain, some trouble sleeping comfortably BUT all in all doing great

Stuff
Well first off my washer and dryer, I am in LOVE :) It cuts down my time on laundry at least by half! It is SUPER quiet. My one complaint...the buzzers are too quiet! hehe but if that is ALL the complaint I have.... who cares?!?!?!
DH said he can see those things getting a work-out with diapers (doing part time cloth diapers) and baby clothes. The boys had a blast helping out last night too... now to continue that enthusiasm hehe. The Washer and Dryer even came with a DVD to watch!!! lol I am now certified to use my own washer and dryer hehe
Lets see... To let everyone know since this is the big question we are getting. YES we know what this little guy will be named. To ease the anguish of a great uncle NO he will not be named after a job or a legal term hehehe. We have his name picked out YET a back-up or two also hehe. Hey you never know we may look at himand say No way does he look like a .... Even the boys do not know Baby G's name yet.
I have my next dr appointment Thursday. I will be 28 weeks Time is flying especially when you think this little man could be here as early as 36 weeks!!! I am excited and nervous as heck. You would think I would be OK with this by now.... Just nervous I suppose.
Well I am extremely exhausted today. Having a hard time sleeping at night so I am going to try a nap now.
Until later

Tomorrow
Is the day the new washer and dryer get here. Stepping into the 21st century with these things LOL.
DH was in the laundry room whistling while he was working at getting out the washer and dryer and the other preps. Kind of scary he is so happy to be working hehe.
Two things going on tomorrow. Then appointments every other day this week UGH. But It is getting to be that time more doctor appointments in a month.
OK well I am off of here to get some cleaning done.
By the way can anyone tell me HOW in the world a laundry room gets so dirty??

27 weeks today
AMAZING isn't it? the Third trimester already. The home stretch.
Depending on how early I deliver... It could be as FEW as 61 to as many as 91 days (my actual due date). I am SOOOO not ready! lol OK I am excited about my baby coming I want to meet him. But I do not have near "everything" I should for him yet. But It will all be ok. We make everything work one way or another :)
I am now in the travel resriction stage of things... no more flying.
Baby G moves around quite a bit most days. He likes to worry me every so often and not move as much. But he more than makes up for it for a couple of days hehe.
I have hit the wall of third trimester exhaustion. I waited for the second Trimester burst of energy. Hate to burst anyones bubble...but it didn't really happen for me! lol I feel OK now some minor aches and pains but not bad at all
I want to do a lot more cleaning now but I fizzle out of energy too soon to accomplish much haha.
The boys have been a big help this week while hubby has been gone. I took them out on a date last night. Movies and dinner. They had a blast I Think they enjoyed being taken out of school a little early to sneak off and have fun :)
Monday I get my washer and dryer delivered. I am SOOO looking forward to it! Seriously I am like a kid getting a new toy! I love appliances and cool gadgets...what can I say?? hehehe
Anyway That is about it for today. I went to the commissary and got my shopping all done on a payday week even hehe
My bagger was one of my favorites. An older guy he has 13 kids!! He always jokes asking if we plan to top him and have 14 LOL He is just a really nice man and love the boys and is so nice. Plus nothing beats not having to carry out my own groceries hehe LOVE that about the Commissary.
OK OK I am off of here!
Until next time
