Your 2nd Month

4-8 weeks

After Christmas it took us a little while to settle down again. There was so much happening and we were both so exhausted. So we spent the day after boxing day - NYE just laying low at home and enjoying being a little family. Laura and Cristiaen came and hung out we went and has your first fish and chip experience at Monte's down by the Gosford Waterfront. They also came and hung out for NYE down at the waterfront too. Nanna, Boof, Scott and CJ also came too. You did so well. You slept the whole time so mummy didnt have to try and feed you in the huge croud. Daddy walked home with you in his arms the whole way. You will know how long of a walk that is when you read this one day. We went home and waited up for the Sydney Fireworks thinking you were going to wake up for another feed. Lo and Behold this was the first night you slept for 7 hours straight for the first time. We got 3 hours of that sleep lol. We kept thinking of he will wake up soon and you just never did. I have learned. GO TO BED even if you think that. :-P

On New Years Day we ventured down to Thornleigh to introduce you to some of our favourite people. Kate, Mark, Lily, Eli and Baby Miles Jennings (who was in the womb). This was our first big trip with you going on the freeway. You were a little champ. I loved that I got to see Kate while she was pregnant and was so excited you got to meet them. We didn't stay long but it was sooo worth the trip. I cant wait for you and baby Miles you get to know each other and be good friends :)

Daddy was off work for another 2ish weeks at Christmas time. YAY!!! We didnt do heaps but we just did little day outings and just spent the time being a little family of 3. I would go out on my own to go and get food or something and I would come back and find you with your dad in this position alot. I'm sure your  going to learn very early on the art of the computer and games. Your dad would buy you a computer now if he could lol.

You really starting to smirk and smile this month. Your facial expressions continue to make us laugh.

In January we had a heatwave where we had the hottest day ever on record. I didnt even want to take you outside but we quickly made a dash for the car and went to Aunty Mel's house and we spent the day with Mel and Hayley. It was so hot that you were feeding every 2 hours. I swear i burnt 10000 calories that day from how often you fed :-P We had a pretty lazy day but it was our goal to just survive and wait to go and get daddy from work so he didnt have to ride his bike home on such a hot day. You will get used to hot days here in summer.
Here is an article all about it :

You went to your first wedding when you were 7 weeks old. Ali and Johnny "babe" Feuerstein. You looked like such a stud. It was very hot but such a beautiful wedding.

Some other random photos from the month. You are smiling heaps and holding your head up very well.

Your First Month ...

Hey little man.

Well One month old hey! What a month it was. We bought you home after a few days in hospital. I was so excited to come home with you because we could be with daddy at night and also because i have NO sleep for 5 days being in the hospital. I was utterly exhausted. Daddy and Nanna came up to get us packed up and out to the car. We had to get the all ok from your pediatrician and from the nurses who were looking after me. The only thing that we found was that your feet were curled in because you had no room in the womb and we just have to massage them so they go out. (which they did) and i noticed you had a tongue tie. I think your mum should be a pediatrician because i found that not the lady lol. Apparently you shouldn't have been able to breast feed with the degree of tongue tie but you ate like a little champion. :-)

We were on our way. Balloons, pressies, bags and baby. I think once we got your into your car seat we we knew we had to get your a little head support so for the mean time we used some of your wraps. I think daddy drove at like 5km an hour home hehehhee. Precious Cargo we had.

We got you home and Nanna took some photos of us outside your new home. I honestly dont remember what we did that day it was a bit of a blur but i remember the first night specifically. You screamed nearly all night lol. Nothing we could do would settle you and we of course had no idea what to do. I was determined to not call the hospital for advice but pride was demolished and I did. She told me to bath you that a bath on your belly might help if its gas and can relax babies. We realised we had NO idea how to do that hahaha we were both so tired and trying to bath you and you HATED it. I think because i was so long in the hospital they thought we had been shown. How hard seriously can bathing a baby be. Well on no sleep and having a little slippery skinned wet baby on our hands not as easy as we thought. Mary came to show us and gave you your first real bath and you now LOVE the bath. I was trying to work out who would be awake early in the morning to come help or show us before we both lost it in pure exhaustion and Aunty Tam had to drop Wy to the station so she came to the rescue. We finally got this parenting thing down pat and started to get into some sort of a routine after that first night. Sleeping was rare but i had an amazing man next to me who would wake up and help me every feed. Id feed you and daddy would burp you. He has the magic touch getting you to sleep to. His chest puts me to sleep quickly so im not surprised you liked that place too.

We both tried to get into reality as soon as we could. Doing little trips to the mall because it was way too hot outside and you didnt cope with the heat at all being such a newborn bub. We went to visit Boof and Uncle Dot at Terrigal for lunch. Your first trip to the beach. I went to coles on my own between feeds and that is still my little trip on my own that i love :) You are such an easy going baby. You have your dads temperament i think. The first day your daddy went back to work i was a bit scared being on my own thinking i couldnt do it but we survived the day and i soon came to realise just you and me and our little routine during the day was great. When daddy was home you never got put down so when he went back to work i had to once again get you back to going to sleep without being held all the time. *hope you one day realise just how much he loves you* your his little man. Dads sidekick i think.

Your first Thanksgiving with the Americans from Church.  (You were born the day after Thankgiving here but when we told your Mimi and Papa you had been born it was still Thanksgiving in Florida :-)  ) Boy did mum love the food.

Christmas was  just around your 4 week birthday. We decided that we still wanted to do a few things with you this year even though people thought we were crazy. We still went Christmas light looking on Christmas Eve (even if it was only one house lol - its tradition) We went to Carols at Bluetounge Stadium with all the family and Uncle Dans parents too. You slept through the WHOLE THING. Which was good because i was little nervous about how you would go.

Nanna, Boof and Ma came over on Christmas morning for breakfast and to open a few pressies with you. We usually dont see anyone from my side of the family Christmas Day because they all go to their spouce/partners family christmas. We had pancakes and Nanna and Boof had bought you some pressies.

We skyped Mimi, Papa, Aunty Tiff, Uncle Dan, Aunty Ang and Noah. They were all together in Florida for Christmas this year. We saw them open their pressies and we opened a few here too. Skype is the best being in the international family that we are. Mimi and Papa got you a little book about some disney characters and a orlando magic blanket. Aunty Tiff made you a fun ornament for our tree with your birth date weight and details on it. She also sent you a pair of Noahs jeans he wore around your age. I love the "cousinhood of the travelling clothes"

We went for Christmas Lunch at Aunty Tam and Uncle Wys place. Tam is an amazing cook and it was a feast. You will get to know this of her. Nothing is done unless its beyond amazing. They got you a fun tool kit (just like Boofs) toys and a cookie monster toy (her nickname for you since you were in the womb was cookie man - she guessed boy all along)

Boxing Day is at Nanna and Boofs and you again were spoiled by the fam. You once again slept through all of it but Nanna had made it so special for your first Christmas. We cant wait to start little family traditions with you as your grow up around this time of year.

You are so good at facial expressions

You love the bath and being swaddled to sleep

The day you arrived.

The day had arrived. After 6 weeks of being in DAU (Day Assessment Unit) 2-3 times a week for pregnancy induced hypertention (High Blood Pressure) they had finally convinced my to have an induction. I tried so hard to go into labour naturally by stalling but they were not going to let me go past my due date so the 23rd November was the day!!! Your actual due date :-)

The day before your dad and I had to be in the hospital at 4pm to have the gel and stay overnight for induction the next morning or in case the gel put me into labour. Dad took the day off so we could spend out last day as just the two of us together. We went for brekky at Coffee Club did some errands then went to see the new James Bond movie "Skyfall". It came out that day and we both were so excited to see it. You enjoyed it too sleeping through most of it (as you did through the pregnancy - not a huge mover or kicker. I had to count your kicks or movements some days to make sure you were ok)

Aunty Mel came over to drop us up to the hospital so we didnt have to worry about the car. My idea of going naturally and walking to the hospital becasue we can see it from your bedroom window went out the window :) Memore (Aunty Tam) bought us dinner. For your dads sake she bought pizza and some yummy cinnamon bites for me. I wasnt very hungry I was quite anxious about what was about to happen. The sunset that day was gorgeous. Made me remember God was looking out for us.

Your dad slept alot more than mum that night. All I could hear were babies crying all night knowing that in a few hours we would be holding our well awaited for little baby. We would finally know if we were having a daughter or a son. :) I was ok with going through the pain to know at the end we would have our little bundle of joy in our arms. All the nurses were lovely. Coming to check on me throughout the night. They got us up at 6am so we could shower and have some time. At 7am a nurse came in and took us through to the labour ward. We settled into our room and Elanora (the doctor who had seen me throughout my DAU days was rostered on. YAY!!! She was so lovely and we both had hoped she would be.She found the gel had worked enough and so they broke my waters at 8:15am. They then put my drip in to bring on contractions and there was no turning back now.

Our student midwife Kate Taylor was with us the whole time. When she started with us about 6 weeks ago to watch the process and be apart of our journey we just loved her. We found out that she was a Christian who went to Liberty Church right here in Gosford. Was fun to be with someone who knew just how amazing and special you were already. God had created you through our love and designed you so specifically just for us. 10 precious little fingers and toes. Your little feet we fell in love with when they were only 3mm long at 12 weeks. I sat on the gym ball and rocked back and forth for about an hour and was in good spirits. Kate, Dad and I were talking and laughing and the midwife kept coming in checking on me and upping the drip to bring my contractions on quicker. I would breathe through them then start chatting again. Gloria the midwife kept saying to me oh you have a long way to go your too chipper. A funny thing though was i thought i better get up off the ball and go to the toilet becasue my waters had been broken. Your head must have been stopping the water from leaking but as soon as i stood up i think they finally flowed. I was all embarrassed and felt bad for the midwives but they made me feel so special and not at all a bother. I guess they do do that all the time lol. *first time mum moment*

Aunty Mel came at 12 noon. I was so glad she could be there. I wanted her to see you be born. She was so excited about you. I had been contracting for 3 hours and 45 min by that stage and they were about a minute apart. Dad and I went into the shower because i had started to get back pain now and they were getting stronger. When they were just at the front I could handle it but when the back pain came it brought back all my anxiety from my back injury when your dad and i were first married. I remember looking at your dad and saying to him "I cant do it if this back pain keep up ill need something for the pain". I was determined to do it all natural. We got out of the shower and your dad and Aunty Mel took turns rubbing my back. I had my arch pillow with me and i would bury my face into it and smell those familiar smells of home which seemed to help me. I even brought mangos in with me to make the room smell like my favourite fruit of Summer. I would smell those smells and it seemed to relax me. Everyone laughed at me when they saw the Mangoes :)

They checked how far I was dialated after 4 hours and i was only at 3cm. I started at 2cm. I was so disappointed but that was ok. On we kept going. At that stage i asked for the water injections in my back to ease the backpain. I wanted to try those first to see if i could get back to only having the contraction pain at the front. THEY WORKED AMAZING!!!!! Elanora even commented on your mums pain tolerance because when they have done those people swear or scream. It was just like a wasp sting in 4 places. It hurt a bit for about 40 sec then the pain was gone after 2 contractions. They were brilliant. My body relaxed and once again i went into my zone and just breathed through the contractions. I would recommend those injections to anyone!!!! At 2:30 they checked me again to see how far i had dilated  I was up to 5cm. They said to me that i had about another 5 hours to go probably. In an hour from then i said to Gloria that i felt like i needed to push. Every contraction I felt like i had to hold back from pushing because i didnt think it was time yet. After three times me saying that she said ok lets check again. As I turned around your little head was there and they said "its push time". I had dilated 5cm in 1 hour. Those injections relaxed me enough i think that's what did it. I was so determined and wasn't really listening to anything anyone was talking about. I was so determined to think about you and how my body was working to bring your into the world. I felt so exhilarated. I was going to meet my gorgeous baby so soon! Your dad kept telling me how great i  was doing and how proud he was and all i wanted was him. This was our time. Our final minutes hand in hand over the top of the bed breathing and pushing your dad cooling me off with a cold flannel on my neck. Gloria said your heart rate was dropping and we needed to get you out soon. I was so determined to not have a c-section so i pushed for dear life. You came out in 2 pushes. I had about 40 seconds between contractions so that process didn't take very long. Little did i know pushing can take an hour. Your were out and i will NEVER forget that moment. The feeling of accomplishment and knowing i did it. All my fears went away with every contraction.

All i can remember is saying what is it what is it.. Zach and Gloria both said just wait just wait a sec. I heard your little cries and i instantly was in LOVE. I still didn't know you were a boy but your sweet little cries melted everything inside of me. I looked at your dad before seeing you and his face was pure joy.
They passed you through my legs and all i saw was penis and balls. Might be funny me saying that but that was honestly my first thought. I guess when you don't know the gender that the first thing you look for lol.
I cheered because i had a SON then cried with all the emotion from those 7 hours !!!!! A gorgeous SON!!!!

Throughout my pregnancy Boof would say ooo i hope you have a boy. So the first call after having your was to Mum, Dad and Scott to tell them. They were not together so we had them on different mobiles and on speaker so we would tell them. Boof was VERY excited. "You lil beauty" Then Aunty Mel got to cut your umbilical cord :) After all that happened we finally got on skype with your Mimi, Papa and your Aunty Tiff and Ang. We showed them you on skype and they guessed boy! :) I called Nan to tell her you were born too. Before we told anyone else I had to feed you and you were weighed and measured. 9 Pound 1 oz. 54cm long. Head circumference 36cm. We were all shocked. You were long so you didnt look BIG. We all thought a good 8 pounder and when she measured you even Gloria was surprised. Our BIG boy completely stole our hearts. It was a bit of a blur so im glad Aunty Mel took photos because i felt like everything was quite rushed to get my to surgery.

Then i was wheeled off and you stayed with Dad and Aunty Mel to get your shots measurements and all your checks done. I went with Kate to surgery to get stitched up. I had no pain medication or anything while in labour except those water injections which isn't really medicine and then went to surgery and had to have a spinal block. So i was numb from my stomach down to my toes. Made for an interesting night.

Holding you in my arms once i got back to the ward was the greatest moment. Daddy and I had a photo we took with Kylie (Firefly Images) for our announcement of gender when we had our photos done. So we put on Facebook after texting some special people and announced that you were a BOY!!!! You had comments and likes galore. You are LOVED all around the world.!!!

Daddy went home because he couldn't stay the night which we both cried. I knew i would love you forever. I looked at your sleeping little face and just couldn't get over just how gorgeous you were. I couldn't sleep at all. I just wanted to stare at you. Half way through the night you let RIP! I thought oh my word how can that noise come out of such a little person lol. I went to pick you up and you had pooed out of your nappy all up your back and all over me and my bed. Since i couldn't move i called the nurses to help me get a new nappy for you and i would change you. She ended up doing the meconium poopie change for me. ;-) one day you will know just how lovely that nappy can be.

Daddy came back at 8:30am to see us. We had some family time then Nanna, Boof, Uncle Dot, CJ (his girlfriend) Aunty Mel, Uncle Dan and your cousin Hayley came to visit. It was so exciting seeing them meet you. The ooos and ahhhs and you crackin off again made Boof laugh. We think you have his hands or should i say PAWS. Uncle Dan wasnt feeling great so he didnt have a good cuddle but he was excited to see you. Then the visitors started coming. We kept them to just a few but it was so good finally being able to introduce you to your soon to be friends and family :)

So that was your first 24 hours.

Pregnancy - Baby Wenny

It all began on the 28th March, 2012 - The day we found out. :-)

A lot had been happening in our family with Aunty Doris passing away a few days earlier and trying to get her funeral organised as well as Mum having her nervous breakdown. I was at work and was feeling emotionally drained and so exhausted. My boss told me to go home or do something nice and have some time out. I called my sister and said to her "I don't need this stress i could be pregnant for all I know. BAM. The realisation was there that I couldn't remember how long ago i had had a period. I got off the phone and looked at my ap on my phone and realised that I definately was late. I was so convinced it was stress that I did a test on my own before Zach got home from work because i "knew" it would be negative.  

Well lo and behold that line came up quicker than i could count to 10. No waiting 2-3 min to see if i was there was the second lil line we were waiting for. SHOCK. OVERWHELMING. EXCITED. all at once. Yep! I don’t think anyone can tell you how you feel that first moment you see that second line and its not just one. I swear i sat on the toilet for 10000 years just in shock. I got in the car and drove to Zachs work. Since I had the afternoon off i thought id surprise him and we could maybe go get something for dinner because it had been a few hectic weeks. He didn’t think anything of it cos  I had only just realised I was late and well who would have guessed lol. I picked him up and we went to subway at Lisarow for dinner. I had no idea what I could eat so i figured subway was a good choice :P

I put the test in the top consol of the car and pretended that my sunnies were in there and asked him to get them out. He opened it and closed it and i was like AHHHHHHH. He said babe they are not in there. I said “ are you sure... im sure i put them in there.. can you check again.?” He did again opened and closed it. I thought oh my word lol. I opened it and went “Whats that??” He saw it and went “ What really... two lines thats positive right?!!! He practically jumped into my seat. That made me heart feel so much better. The 50 min i knew without him knowing was torture! We ate and couldn’t believe it with all thats happened this month. Very quickly did Zach get used to kissing my belly and all that J

I had been so tired and going to bed early but i thought that was just cos everything was crazy. It only got worse. I had severe fatigue. 

I spend Thursday with Mel and Hayley at Erina DYING to tell her. She even asked me if I did a test and I looked away and went “yeah” and shrugged my shoulders. Nothing more on the topic lol. We went to get food and once again i wasn’t sure what i could eat. Mel suggested sushi and i knew i definitely couldn't have that so i got a piece of cheese pizza and a caramel donut lol. 

All of us were meant to go to mum and dads for dinner that night to talk about the  funeral but didnt. I usually go to Mels on Thursday night to hang and sometimes do crafts. I made it out like Zach had cancelled his guys for the family dinner so he might come too. HA! We got there and i gave mel a pressie for Hayley. I bought a lil pink jumper which she thought was so cute... i was sitting there thinking HURRY UP and look what else is in there.... she went to put the bag down and realised there was something else in there. When she pulled it out it took a while for her looking at the shirt “I'm gonna be a big cousin” to comprehend it because i had told her that day i had done a test and she just thought it was negative. Lets just say she was close to Zachs reaction. She jumped up and down. Squealed.

We quickly realised we needed to tell mum and dad tonight. Not only did they need good news but mum was going to Manly with Jen the next morning to rest and then figure out about getting help. We had always said we would tell the Wenners first since we couldn’t tell them face to face. It was at that moment 430am in Florida. We went back and forth and I knew i couldn’t wait 2 weeks to tell me parents so we called. Both Mobiles... the home phone... nothing.. I told zach to try the home phone again... finally his mum picked up. He asked her to get on skype cos we really needed to talk to them about somethings. She said cant you call in a few hours.. said she might get on and then hung up. I was like AHHHHH!!!!! Lol. I had my phone and saw their name pop up. They were defiantely more than half asleep when we told them but I got a cute photo of their reaction.

We then got into Mel and Dans car with Hayley in her shirt to go tell them the news. We got there and mum was all over the place and well didn’t notice it. None of them did. They were all looking at her and showing them her tooth slowly coming through. Mel put Hayley every which way to make the tshirt obvious.. Finally dad saw and looked at me. That face of good news and relief will never leave my memory. He got teary eyed and asked me "Really?!?". They all said it was finally some good news.

We got to tell Tiff and Daniel on Saturday as well as Angeley. Tiff asked if it was April fools at first. We were confused until we realised it was the day before April Fools here in Australia. She was excited and Daniel told us that us and Angeley are the only way he would become an aunty. Lol. Ang was excited too. Second time aunty in the same year!

I had trouble keeping water down without gagging in the mornings. I had to have OJ or my fibre drink it water and eat something bland. Water didnt agree with me lol. Go figure.

I had been liking Chunky Beef pie from Pie in the Sky. Singapore Noodles. I actually even liked a sip of Zach's coke zero and i HATE soft drink especially coke. I have not been able to eat choc or anything sweet. Im off every sort of sweet food. All i wanted is savory.

Our first ultrasound was amazing. We went in there to have it by Janet at Dr Farags office in Gosford. She was LOVELY!!!! I was convinced there was nothing in there (how do you really comprehend) and she sure proved me wrong very quickly lol. She wacked that ultrasound Doppler on my belly and BOOM there was our gorgeous lil baby ! Wow there is nothing that can prepare you for what thoughts run through your head that day! I was relieved, thrilled, emotional, anxious all in one. This lil person is a product of the love we have together and boy is that baby created out of ALOT OF LOVE!  We asked a lot of questions and the lady was so great answering them all for us. She took a pic of its little feet (3mm) in length. What a miracle. Only God could create something so small yet so perfect. Everything forming even when it was so little.

  

The Announcement

It was Mothers Day 2012. We were 12 weeks 2 days and well thought Mothers Day would be a great day to announce to the world i was going to be a mumma!! J

Mum, Dad, Scott, Mel, Hayley all came to HOP that morning. Meant alot to me that they were all there. The day before we told Luke, Leesa and Bek  VT and Rach and Ben.

Sandra was doing the lesson that day on mothers. It was organised that through that she would talk about the future mothers and that there were not just 3 but 4 babies coming to HOP. Everyone was looking around trying to figure out who it was and she said Zach and Elisha. For not telling the young adults group before the reactions were PRICELESS!!! The one i will never forget was Richard turning to Karyn and being like “WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME” thinking she knew but she said i didn’t know either :P We kept it very secretive. J Everyone was so excited, I just got super overwhelmed and hid. I don’t know why I had convinced myself people wouldn’t be excited for us. Boy was I wrong in thinking that. Zach was surrounded by all the guys showing them our 12 week ultrasound video. Lol. I thought it was cute how they all huddled around him. More than the girls did for me. I was totally fine him taking the spotlight on this for me. J
As soon as Sandra announced it at church we posted it on Facebook. I really could have waited for the world to know a bit longer but knowing people knew we knew it would get out and we wanted to be the ones to share that.

FACEBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT

We were so overwhelmed with the excitement from everyone that I ended up turning my phone off because it constantly beeped lol. What a blessing to have a world wide group of friends who shared in our excitment!!! This baby was going to be LOVED!!!! Or should i say already is :)

It wasn't until about 18 weeks that I got really excited. I felt great, I was seeing little changes in my body.

Zach is the sweetest daddy already. He comes in from work and greets me with a big kiss then bends down kisses my belly and tells bub that he is home and that he loves it. Our text messages now are daddy misses baby and medium baby. He is big baby i'm medium baby and then there is lil baby. (Sappy or sad i know lol but that's the way we roll) He kisses my belly before bed and before he leaves in the morning. He sings baby monkey to it and apparently at 20 weeks they tell each other secrets as he lays his head on my belly. Im not allowed to know apparently. :P I am just so abundantly blessed to have that man as my husband and I wish I could tell this baby already just how abundantly blessed he/she is to have him as his/her daddy! Our bed has become a pillow kingdom and he just finds me within all the pillows that help me sleep more comfortably. :-P

The Saturday night I was 22 weeks 1 day (21^st July) Zach and i went out to see “The Dark Knight Rises” (Batman) with Luke and Leesa Robinson. We saw it in the VMAX which is amazing sound and bigger seats etc. I swear if the baby hadn't been awake it most certainly was woken up. I hadn't really felt it and what i thought was bub i just didn't know until at movie! It was so loud and the vibrations from the noise were amazing and baby went crazy lol. Zach kept his hand on my belly the whole time trying to feel it. I figured that since i only just felt it that he wouldn't on the outside. The following day after we skyped Tiff and Baby Noah i was laying on my back in bed and lo and behold Zach put his hand there and felt a little kick. I was watching his face to see if there was any changes in his expression and when i felt it and saw his face with the “I wonder if that was a kick” look i told him he must have. Ill never forget that look. J

 I'm still off chocolate. I don’t really have cravings. Not for anything specific. I defiantly like plain, somewhat savory foods. I'm trying really hard to only eat healthy. 

I get up in the morning as late as i can to jump in the shower and leave. Zach leaves home at 7:50am to get the train and i generally wait til about 810-15 to get up and shower. I'm pushing it for time these days i just wanna lay there in the warm bed. I get to work and I generally have my green apple and sometimes a fruit English muffin. About 2 hrs later i have an orange or a banana. Then for lunch I have one slice of brown toast with avocado, tomato an egg and cheese on it. DELICIOUS. I've started to have a bit of variety and take some one minute steaks with me to give me some iron. I pretty much just eat fruit veggies and add some protein like eggs or meat to my day. We eat pretty plainly at night. Brown Rice with either mince or chicken. Lots of veggies. I make a nice pesto meal which i say the baby likes it so I can eat it more :P

I ordered our wall stickers from amazon and they got lost in the mail. I was trying to find something that was heaps cheaper but something that was similar and would look cute. I couldn't so Zach said i could order them again. Tomya and Craig Peters are over in the USA at the moment for their daughters wedding and they are going to bring some things back for me J YAY!!!! One thing i miss about America is the shopping.

So time just passes by. Between work, church, midwife checkups and just our general life its been rather busy. I just grow and keep getting told how little i am. I don’t think bubbas little (he wasnt being born at 9 poind 1 oz) i just think im carrying more in my back than out front at the moment. Its funny... i was scared to get pregnant with the thought of puffing out like a big balloon and getting bigger in every aspect of my body but that just hasn’t been the case. I have never felt more beautiful and gorgeous since being pregnant.
