11 days and counting.....
WOW!! Are there really only 11 days at max until our little one is here? On one hand that seems like forever away and on the other hand it seems like it will never get here. I have officially...I think I said that before, but now SERIOUSLY officially I only have two pairs of maternity dress pants that fit (sucks when you have to wear dress clothes at least 4 days a week) and only 2 pairs of maternity jeans that fit....UGH!! Most of my shirts are getting too short (or at least they feel too short). I feel like a house, but I know it is all worth it for the little one who will arrive shortly. :) I have gained 34 lbs as of 2/16/09...hopefully I don't gain much more.
I don't remember having as much discomfort with Jayden, but they say pregnancies are totally different from one to the other. I can't sleep for more than a couple hours at a time, I have to get up at least once...some times twice a night to go to the bathroom. Poor little man....he wanted me to lay on the floor with him the other day...so I did...I was in so much discomfort when I tried to sit up, he says "Mommy I help you." (SO SO SO SO CUTE) and then he says "I kiss it." so he thought he should kiss my leg as he thought that is where I hurt, he wanted to make it better. What would I do without him, he is so wonderful!! :) My perfect little rambunchious man, who can't wait for his little sister/brother to arrive. He keeps telling me the baby needs to wear diapers and will go and get one for me. I can't wait to see how he is when we bring little one home. I took part of next Friday off so that I can spend some time doing something fun with Jayden before baby gets here (although I try to spend as much time with him now also) and also to make sure everything is ready.
Little one now doesn't really kick much....I think it is more like booting me in the stomach saying he/she is ready to come out. :) We will see how far dilated I am when I go in tomorrow to the doc....I was at 1 1/2 on 2/16/09...maybe it's changed....or maybe not. Scary enough I only have 7 more days of work and only 2 more doc appts...including tomorrows until baby is here. We need to be at the hospital by 5:45 AM on March 9th to meet our newest edition.
Oh yeah....we are no longer set on names....none of the names we had picked out before will probably be for little one/ We keep adding to our list again and again and then crossing them out again and again. We get to a point where we narrow them down and then think oh we need to add more....I guess we will see when little one arrives. :)
Other than that everything is going well! Hope all is well with everyone else and can't wait for you to meet our newest edition. Talk to everyone soon.

18 days and counting....
With only 18 days and counting...reality is starting to set in. :) Tons of diapers to change, clothes to wash, and limited sleep are on there way....Oh well, it is all worth it. I think Jayden will be such a good help. I think Mike is getting excited now also, we were just talking about when Jayden was little and he loved to snuggle and was so dependant on us. Now little man is SO independant and doesn't want to cuddle as much (although he loves to cuddle with mommy when it's time for bed, I love that). He loves to be out doing stuff with Daddy now too...4-wheelers, trucks, mowing lawn, shoveling, plowing...anything outside with Dad (it is really cute). Still working on potty training...it has it's ups and downs....maybe some day we will get there. :)

Closer & Closer.....
Ok is the date getting any closer....yeah I guess it is. 24 days and counting. Today I feeling like a little foot is going to poke out at any time....ok not sure I am ready for that yet. :) Oh well little one will join us when they are ready.
We have now narrowed down names even further...although we will still probably change our mind 10 more times before baby arrives (still have to pick out middle names though).
Girls Names Boys Names
Kyla Ashton
Brianna Noah
Shelby
Eve
Why is it so hard to pick a name this time around??? With Jayden we were set...Jayden for a boy and Ava for a girl. Now there are two many Ava's so we want something unique....starting at square one. :)
I went to Target today (this tells you I go to lunch there too often)...the ladies know my face and name. Anyway that cashier says "so has anyone told you that you really dropped already?" I just laughed....Yep a week or so ago. So does dropping really mean anything in baby world....I don't know. Jayden never dropped so....what does that say. :)
I think we are all ready....bottles, diapers, cradle, clothes (which by the way, no matter what...not many baby clothes are neutral even if the color is...they all have sayings), nursing gear is ready (I mean the pump...well and I guess the attached body pump). :) Oh and of course little man is so ready for baby to be here. He is such a grown up for only being 2.5...he told me last night (with his arms swadled), "Mom this is how you hold the baby....and you rock them back and forth." So right he is!! Where did he learn that, we don't have any little ones at home, must be from daycare...man that was cute. Along with his dancing to "I like to move it move it" and his little butt shaking back and forth. :) What would we do without kids?? I would be so lost. Little man is the best! I think he is going to be such a good helper.
Well that's all for now!

26 days and counting....
I have to laugh when I say so many days and counting as everyone asks..."How do you know you only have that many days left?" Well I know that because we are being induced on March 9, 2009 if our newest little edition has not arrived by then. :) Which is one week early of our due date (March 17, 2009)...Jayden was so big though, so hopefully this helps. It is kind of weird to kind of know the day your child will arrive...well I guess we don't totally know because little one will probably come when he/she wants and not when we are planning...Oh well, I guess it leaves you guessing. :)
As of now we still don't know if we are having a little girl/boy, so they will be a big surprise for Daddy, Mommy & Jayden. Jayden still insists he is having a sister and if you tell him anything different he is NOT HAPPY!! :) We have a list of names at this point, but nothing narrowed down....guess we should probably do that soon....sooner rather than later as there are only a max of 26 days left.
I am getting nervous now.....I want the little one to be here, but at the same time I just keep thinking about what labor was like with Jayden and how I said I would never do this again (for the labor part, I love the little ones)....Well here we are....but this time it really is the LAST time. :) We will adopt if we want any more little ones.
This is a start to the name list....no particular order
Girls
Paige
Ava
Jasmin
Lexi
Savannah
Brionna
Kyla
Natalia
Natosha
Shelby
Adrianna
Boys (why are girls names so much easier to pick out)
Ashton
Dakota
Blake
Emerson
Parker

31 days and counting......
Ok the real countdown has begun....31 days at the most. YIKES!!!! I repeat YIKES!!! Now I am getting nervous. :) Don't get me wrong, I will be excited when baby is here, but boy is our world going to change....two little ones. WOW!
Well my stomach is now hard as a rock....SERIOUSLY there is NO NO NO room left in my belly. I have more faint strech marks than I did with Jayden (which sucks) but ok I will deal with it. But I am so uncomfortable at this point it is unbelievable....I was never this uncomfortable with little man...I guess what they say is true...No two pregnancies are the same. I feel like such a baby...OH well so worth it when the newest edition arrives. :)
Last night my back hurt so bad that I couldn't sit or bend, I had to lay down and then there was so much pressure on my pelvic area and the pelvic pressure continues today....WOW this is different. :) Going to the doc for my check up today, so hoping she will tell me it is normal.
Other than that, Little Man is doing GREAT!! He talks just like an adult. He asked me the other day "so mom how was your day?" I just started laughing, and so he asked me again. So we had to sit and have a conversation about my day and his and what we did. SO CUTE!! I LOVE IT!!! :)
Take care!
