Alright so this took me awhile to post! haha! We went last week for our 4th ultra sound. This time baby Minkey cooperated only to show us her back. Other than that she would not budge! She was hunkered down really low and would not move despite the ultra sound tech many attempts. All we really needed was the back so she called it good. The tech. said everything looked good! So that is a huge relief! I'm glad to have that done!

In other news... the hose we had put an offer an and it had been accepted fell through this week. The people who own it are n "pre-forclosure" and have been for a year now. They have left the cuntry and could care less if the place sells. So they will not turn the water and electricity back on. So we decided it was going to be more trouble than it was worth and we resended our offer. SO the search is on..... I found one that looked eally nice turned out to be a pot grow house! haha! It had alt of interest and the financing for it would be a nightmare so we nixed that one. There was another one our relator kept pushing so we took another look at it and he was right with a little work the place will be nice! So we put an offer in on that one and should hear by weds. SO fingers crossed!! Buying a house is a crappy business!! Yo find something you finally like and then you don't get it. It's s discourageing! I think that is all for last week. We are still packing and prepareing for our move.

Week 23 Update

Went to the doctor this morning. The doctor said everything seemed ok. She did not have an explanation for the bleeding other than these things sometimes happen. So it's 2 weeks of bedrest for me! Hurray fun fun! haha! I have my baby shower this weekend, so that will be nice!I have an ultrasound next weeks so we will get to see the Minkey agian.I will let you all know if anything changes!

Week 22 ER Visit!

I started to bleed ALOT last night! Blood was every where and Carl and I freaked out! We got dressed as fast as we could and headed to the ER. They were great I have waited for 8 hours to be seen but with this they took me right in to Labor and Delivery! They checked to see if my water broke and felt my cervix. All was good there. The blood was not nearly what it was when we were at home. So they hooked me to the monitors and the baby was going strong and no contractions. So they had an ultrasound tech come in and check me out. Everything looked fine on the ultrasound. So they kept me over night the bleeding is now just spotting. So they let me go and told me I needed to be on bed rest till I see my doctor. I have no idea what happened and they have no insight either. So that is the latest update I will keep you all posted as to any more information. Hopefully I can get in to see my doctor tomorrow and have some answers.

Kick Kicking into week 22

Still a GIRL!

We had our second ultrasound Tuesday. Everything looked good but once agian they could not get a good view of her back so we have to go back in two weeks. The Ultrasound lady said that the legs, arms , and head all measure normal so she is not worried about the back but they have to be able to see it. So everything is good with the little girl and yes it's still a girl! haha! I go in two weeks for my gluose test it is a litte early but my doctor wanted me to have it done before we leave so if I have any diabetic issues we will know the end of the month. The Minkey has bee kicking a lot this week and Carl even got to feel her! I can watch her kicks onthe outside of my stomach its weird! haha

Our huse is offically for rent!! We have asign in the front yard so hopefully someone will want it soon!! The landlord was saying they are hving a problem with people stealing there listings and posting them on creigs list for rediculasly cheap. They post the addresesses and everything. Then people are going to these houses and demanding that they can rent them. It's not good! So hopefully that will not happen to us!

All in all this has been a productive week! Happy Birthday Mama J! Hope you had fun at the Glen Beck Comedy show!

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.
