22 weeks...What a difference.

Really there is no new information. It is really hard to come up with what to write when you do the same thing every day. I have the TV line up memorized and have really become addicted to 2 games on addictinggames.com but other then that no news is good news.

This past weekend was the holiday family gathering for my dads side of the family. It is an ornament exchange. I had fun taking the one my cousin really wanted. hehehe Im a stinker. I ate lots of food so I am hoping for a good weight gain this week. My next appointment is Wednesday which also happens to be my birthday.


I will keep trying to do a better one but here is attempt #1

This must be nesting..28w

All of a sudden I feel like I have no time and a million and one things left to do. I feel like I will never be ready and maybe I should just hold my legs together til I have everything done. I know I still could have between 9 and 12 weeks but at the same time I could have only days.


My goodness am I getting round.






28 weeks baby development (from babycenter.com)

How your baby's growing:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds ((like a Chinese cabbage) hahah they were that big 2 weeks ago) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

26 weeks

Well I am getting bigger. Two of the 4 pairs of pants I fit in now leave a roll/indent on my belly when I sit. When I stand my belly is hard all the time. I am taking it easy like the Dr said and am starting to feel some braxton hicks when I do exert myself. My most exciting news is that my MIL went baby crazy and the last time we went there last week we left with a car full of stuff and one of the cribs being delivered. The best part is that as I write this I am waiting for it to be delivered as the site says it is on a truck in Stockton. This week I did something a little different with the belly pics I took 2 one before dinner out with friends and one after. I feel huge so I wanted to see if there was a difference.

The Whole Story

I have been fo frusterated these last two weeks and really had no place to vent. I hadnt realized til this laps in service how much I really depended on the internet. I missed bloggin and I missed my nestie friends. I mised the outlet that I have that doesnt involve stressing erick out more. So now for the update on me and us. I am sorry because even before writing this I know it is going ot be long.

The new apartment: Yes we moved. That is want started this whole mess. The new place is bigger and smaller in its own great ways. I love the new place. It is only a few (3 blocks at just over a mile) steps from the old place. We are in the new place but not yet out of the old one. How is that? Well we wernt sure we were going to get in the new place so we didnt but our 30 day notice in. Right now we are paying for both apartments. This really was a blessing. It allowed us to move slowly and clean even more slowly.

Service transfers: This was an adventure. Cable took a week. Gas (to get hot water) took 3 days. Yes we lived in a place for 3 days taking ice cold showers. Phone took 2 days then only worked for 3 days. The internet was the most fun though. Phone and internet are the same 3 letter titled company. When I called on a Monday I was told that Tuesday we would have phone and Wednesday would be internet both would be on before 8pm on the respective day. Tuesday phone was on by 1pm. Wednesday by 8:15pm we still had no net. I call the only number for the co that is open at that "late" hour is tech. support. So I talk to 3 people including a manager and get told that I will get a call by 11am the nex day. So Thursday I call at noon give them my ticket number and get told that I will be getting a call before the end of business that day. I try to file a complaint and get the following message "due to an unforseen insident beyond our control we can not accept calls at this time" then it hangs up on you. They same message comes up when I try to call billing. At this point I dont trust them. I call at 4:30. At 7pm I finally get to talk to someone. At this point I break down and cry. They had an influx of calls so they were kicking the calls to any open phone in the company. I wasnt talking to someone that could help me and I had been on hold for over 2 hrs. This kind woman walks me through the system keeping me on her phone and connecting me to who I need to be talking to til I get to a guy that once again tells me someone will call me the next day to tell me if they could rush my repair but the best he could do was give me a request for repair on monday. I kindly ask him what happens when no one calls just like no one called the last 2 times that I was told someone will call me. He gave me a new number to call. The next day (now Friday) I do get a call not from a real person but an automated system telling me my request for rush service has been denied. Figures! We go out Fruday night to get away from this and come home to our phone not working. Figures! I call again and get told they will combine the calls and both repairs will be done before noon on Monday. Fine whatever. Obviously they finally followed though. I also have a new number I will be calling today to complain to today.

My fall: Yes you read that right I fell. The story really is stupid and funny and I didnt fall far. I sat on an icechest with wheels on one end and leaned to get something off the floor. As I leaned forward the icechest went back and I ended up on my ass. It frightened me and I was sore so I called the Dr they said everything was fine as long as I wasnt bleeding, leaking or cramping and because I had felt movement after the fall. They said I would be sore for a week or two and to just take it easy.

Erick: The last two weeks have been really hard on him. He tries to keep it in but I can tell. Friday was his last day at the job he really liked and has held for two years. Along with moving where he has to do all the lifting and today he started his new job. He is so worried and frightened. Everything is changing and the man isnt really a fan of change. He knows it is for the best but he doesnt want to stress me out so he keeps it all in.

The car: Yesterday was a fun day. To get ready for Ericks first day of work we wanted the car to look good. We go to the carwash and pay the $9 for the wash. After waiting for the 6 cars in front of us to go it is our turn. We punch in the code as the car in the wash gets to the dryer per the instructions on the key pad. We pull in. The wash starts. Our car gets covered in soap and then the arrow says our wash is up. WTF. The jackass behind us put in his code ending our wash. We pull out all soap covered because the machine isnt doing anything and it is beeping at us. Park and talk to the gas station clirk who gives us a new code. We get back in line, wait 4 more cars, back in the machine and the guy behind us does it to us again. People it says right there DO NOT PUT YOUR CODE IN TIL THE CAR IN THE WASH IS IN THE DRYER. It is really not that hard. This time Erick is mad and I tell him not to go anywhere. I get out of the car go in the station and tell them to fix it. They come out get us going and we actually get washed. All it took was 3 starts and an hour.

After the carwash we head to sears. Our car was making a noise and we wanted it checked out. Because this one is frusterating I will cut it short. This one involves needing new struts, shocks, rear break pads and 4 new tires. The tires were less then 2 years old the struts were so bad they ate the tires. This whole thing left us stuck at the mall for 5 hours with no money and left our CC with $1400 more to pay off.

Now to reward you for reading my long and boring story belly pics from Thursday 24weeks



.

Check back later today or tomorrow for an update from my Drs appt today at 430.

22 weeks already

and all is well. Life has been a little topsey and we are trying to move so that has things a little crazy right now. We found a great place and are just waiting for a move in date. The new place isnt far from where we are now but it is so much better.

As for me I still feel great. I know you want more but really things are a little boring






If you really want to see the difference look at 20 weeks and at march's post "sick and twisted"

You asked for it

OK its more like you whined that I was late in getting one.



Oregon was fun and below is a pic of the stuff I got. I really don't have an update really til Monday but I thought I would give you what you wanted.

from babycenter.com
How your baby's growing:
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)

He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).


The 20 week belly




baby stuff that has no home right now


15week and 20week side by side kinda

17 weeks

The babies skeletons are hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cords are getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.





I think I have grown what do you think?

ups and downs

I really like my title this week and with the babies the size of an orange when you open this up you will understand. So I wont have any new baby pics until monday but I thought I would post anyway because today I am 15 weeks and I do have some news. I got a call from the other office I had to see last week. They are the ones that did the NT scan and blood test for downs. Well my results are in and we have a one in ten thousand chance of the babies having downs. We were told that this is the lowest chance they assign anyone. wooo hooo did the happy dance. So now that I have covered the downs lets talk about the ups. Oh my goodness what are these boobs and where did they come from? I swear I woke up and one day they were just there. I feel huge and not just in the chest. I had told myself I wasnt going to post belly pics and I am sorry the one is turned but thats how it loaded. So here they are belly pics. I look down at myself and I can see my little bump that is making my pants not fit. I look at the pictures and I just dont see it. I see a girl that looks like she has (and really has) gained 10lbs. So what do you think?





come back monday night for more baby pics (if they give me some)
