Bored!

I went to the Dr. yesterday and my blood pressure was 134/94 my NST monitoring was fine. The baby was very active and the Dr. assured us that the baby is very healthy. The bad news was I had protein in my urine. So he decided it was time to send me over to the hospital for a 24 hour urine test. So I will have been here for 24 hours at 3:00 which is just a few minutes from now. We are unsure what is going to happen from there. He told us yesterday there were several things that could happen. They would not decide anything until they got the results from my test. So we are either going to be induced today. Be asked to stay until Wednesday and they induce then orwe will get sent home then I will go to the Dr. Tuesday afternoon to have my cervix rippened and then I will report to the hospital Wednesday morning for Dr. Peach to get this party started. We would like to go ahead and have a baby since we are already here. What's a few more days when I am scheduled for an induction for this Wednesday. Well they just came and got my jug.
I had some bacteria in my urine yesterday so today they had mentioned starting me on an antibotic and I also have had a cyst come up that they are watching as well. So I am anxious to see what is going to happen.
We are getting bored. Bricen has been up here to see us twice. We miss him and we hope he is being good.
He has said from the day we told him I was pregnant that I was having him a brother well he has changed his mind in the last couple of days and he thinks its a girl now. He wants a pink bow for our door. So it will be interesting to see what this baby is. I hope it will be sooner than later.

Remodeling

Albert started tearing our house apart the first of January and then he seperated his shoulder by being a big kid and was out of work and out of doing anything for 3 weeks. He was working on Bricen's room when he was injured. I have a few pictures to post of how the remodeling is coming along. Bricen is back in his room. He picked out his favorite color- blue and Albert scraped the popcorn off the ceiling and put down new baseboard and put up new crown molding. He also got a new fan and Albert put a new closet organizer in that has given us so much more organization in his closet. We are also changing out the doors in our house. I have a picture of that as well.
Our room will hopefully be finished tonight. Albert has been working hard on getting our room done. We have all our furniture in the nursery which has NOT been done yet. He scraped all the popcorn off our ceiling. Our ceiling had been painted from the previous owners and it made it extra hard to get it looking good. He added some crown molding in the tray ceiling and new baseboard. Albert wanted to paint the room green and I picked out the color. He doesn't really care for the color but I like it. I have a picture of what it looks like right now and I will post more as we progress through the week. He has until next Tuesday to get my house back in order since we will be going to the hospital on Wednesday to have this baby.
He hopes to start the nursery tomorrow!

Which one will it be?

Amy had us some really cute bows made to match the dress so I wonder if she will be wearing them home of if he will be in blue.

Diapers Diapers Diapers

We have had two diaper showers. We have 1895 diapers and 1770 wipes. I wonder how long they will last us? Diapers are great when you already have one child and you really don't need anything else.

SNOW!!! March 1-2 2009

Bricen had so much fun in the snow! Albert and Bricen played in the bathroom sink with the 4-wheelers Sunday night and that was great entertainment for Bricen. Then they played outside all afternoon and they went to our old house and rode the rhino. Derrick, April, Champ and Chloe came over and we ate lunch and the kids played outside for a little while and then the guys took the kids over to ride 4-wheelers and the rhino over at our old house. April and I had some quite time and we played cards. The kids had so much fun in the snow and were wore out that evening.

Peanut

I have had two Dr. visits since I last updated. Everything is going good. I saw Dr. Peach this past Thursday and I have had two NST monitorings as well. The baby is doing good and so am I. I have been here on the couch for a little over 3 weeks now and I am on the home stretch. I go back to the Dr. this Friday and I will have another NST. As long as everything is fine they have scheduled me for an induction for Wednesday March 18th! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. So I should have a baby by next Thursday. I have felt like this baby was a girl. I felt like Bricen was a boy but I am starting to second guess myself with this one. I had a feeling all day yesterday that its a boy. So it will be very interesting to see.

Update on Peanut!

We went to the Dr. to have an ultrasound 2 weeks ago to make sure my placenta had moved away from my cervix and it had so that was great news. My blood pressure was up a little bit and it had been up a little bit at my appointment 2 weeks before that. So Dr. Peach told me to start resting 2-3 hours on my left side and if that didn't work I would be put to bed. A week ago this past week I was getting ready and my blood pressure shot up. So I haven't done much of anything since then. I have been laying around on the couch resting trying to get my blood pressure down. Our insurance will not cover any complications since I had high blood pressure with Bricen. So I am doing my best to keep in down. I went back to the Dr. on Friday and my blood pressure was up higher than before. I have 5 weeks left and he told us to plan on having this baby within the next 2-4 weeks depending on my blood pressure. He told me to continue doing nothing and to do my best to keep my blood pressure down. So I am home doing much of nothing. I am going to the Dr. weekly and I go back Friday and I have a NST to monitor the baby this Friday.

Time is passing us by!

WOW- How time is passing us by so fast. I haven't blogged in over 2 months because we have been so busy and every time I look at this blog I get overwhelmed because I am so far behind. Just when I think I am catching up I fall behind on something else. So I am just going to start with now and move forward and not try to go back over the last couple of months. We had a great Christmas and it went by way to fast.
Peanut will be here in less than 10 weeks. I tell you the past 7 1/2 months have flown by so fast. Albert and Bricen have named the baby Peanut. I am not sure where that name came from. Albert started tearing our house apart about 2 1/2 weeks ago. He was just getting started good and he decided to jump on a blow up kid slide as the air was going out and he seperated his shoulder so he has been out of work and on the couch. He hasn't been able to do much of anything but rest. Today he started messing around in Bricen's room getting it ready to be painted. He scrapped the popcorn off the ceiling and has put up new crown and base board. When he gets done with everything it's going to look like a new house. We have lived here for 2 1/2 years and we have only done our office. Albert made a room that was just like a little playroom into our office and put cabinets and painted it. I will post pictures once everything is done. I hope to blog again before long. Hope everyone has had a great new year!
