Week 21 working hard or hardly workin.....

Well this week has just been a VORTEX of time. I can't even believe that it is already Saturday! Carl and I did not come home from Big Bear until Tuesday so maybe that is why this week has flown by!


I had to get my final for Ethics done this week. That was a challenge and a half, but finally I finished it! I’m officially done with school until July 27th so that is good. I will have more time to do all the things that need to get done!


I called this week to get an appointment with a OBGYN in Florida. Mama J gave me some recommendations for doctors. The one she recommended was Dr. Domingo. I called his office first. The receptionist was kind of confused and was unsure if they would take me. After a long conversation she then changed her tune completely and said that it would be no problem! Hahaha…… So I have an appointment for the 28th of July with them. Because the receptionist was kinda iffy about the whole situation I thought I ought to call some of the other doctors and see what they say. Well all the other ones Mama J recommended were no longer delivering babies. So there was another doctor that a girl on a group I am on recommended. So I called that office. The receptionist was so mean that I just hung up on her! She was lecturing me about not receiving prenatal care till my 30th week. I kept telling her I have received prenatal care my entire pregnancy thank you very much. But she kept going on and on and I thought I don’t need this crap so click went the phone. Hahaha!! So I hope Dr. Domingo is good because it looks like I don’t have many options for an OB. Egh….


We are calling the baby the Minkey, it is fitting because my sisters kid is the bug and Abby was the bean so the Minkey is different! My Dad calls her Dingus but Carl dose not like that so we settled on the Minkey. You got to call her something instead of her all the time. So that is cool. She is moving a lot the past few days! It is so cool! She still has not moved for Carl but hopefully soon she will!


All and all things are good next week I have an Ultrasound on the 2nd and a Doctor appointment on the 1st.

Week 20 at the Lake

Well I have been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to post on here! We have started packing for our move to Florida and that seems to take up a lot of time! We went to Home Depot and bought a bunch of boxes. Carl has used the most on his Gun room! He never believes me when I tell him that he has A LOT of stuff!!! We also took all the pictures off the walls so Carl could fill all the little holes from the nails. The house looks really empty!

I have been working away on my school work, but with the move and working a bit for my Dad I just don’t have the time. My current classes are finished May 31st and after them I’m going to take a break! This will allow me to focus on the things that I need to get done before we move. I will start back up July 27th and that class will end September 27th which will give me a month off when the baby comes. So that works out well for me.


This week I have been at my Grandma’s all week. Last weekend we had a memorial for my late Great Uncle Norm. It was really nice. Then I came up with my Grandma in Big Bear and have been up here all week. It has been really nice but I miss Carl SO much! We have never spent this much time apart! I can’t wait for him to come up tomorrow morning! Maddy has missed him a lot too(well in between swims in the lake that is).



The little Monkey is doing good. She has started kicking but anytime I or anyone else for that matter puts there hand on my belly she stops kicking. I have a heart monitor and I wanted my Grandma to hear her heart. So I found it and zoom she runs away, I would find it again and zoom she runs away. It was too funny! I am definitely starting to show and already feeling kinda squished. I will get pictures up soon!

Week 18...It's a GIRL!

Well today was the big day, we got to see our little bean! I was convinced it was a boy and was really shocked when they said it was a girl! I have always wanted a girl and so it's great but I still am surprised!! We also already have a girl name all locked down so that is great too! However, the name is a secret.....so stay tuned for that news! haha! The ultrasound went well! We got to see her heart beating away and her little feet! The only problem they had was that they couldn’t see her full back because she was bent over. So we have to go back in 4 weeks to scan her again. But the lady said all looked good!



My doctor’s appointment also went well. They had the results of my blood tests for downs and cyctifibrosis (spelling?). They were both negative!!!! So that is good news! The heart sounded good and she is happy with my progress. So all in all we had a great day.


I’m still not feeling really good. My nose is still stuffy and I’m coughing! I feel better but still crummy! So hopefully I will be all better soon!! I’m real tired of feeling crummy! Here are all the ultrasound pictures and one of the belly today.
