- I have been sleeping better. I had a few rough nights there, but it’s because I ran out of some of my new formula! The tip from Sarah was more potassium – supposed to help with the jumpy legs. My new bedtime combo is, aside from making sure my extremities are warm enough, 2 Tylenol (this week it has been necessary to have them every night – as much as I hate taking ANYTHING, even something as mild as Tylenol), an antacid (the heartburn has gotten really bad again – especially when lying down at night), a banana + a glass of milk, and some stretches. Seems to be working pretty well. I still get a little jittery, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was. I prefer to add a massage in there as well – but Andy’s schedule doesn’t always allow for that, especially since my schedule is so not the same as his – it’s nice when we are able to add that in too though.
- Jarvis had his first soccer game this morning! I wasn’t feeling up to sitting in the bleachers for over an hour, so Andy took him and hopefully I’ll be able to get to the next one (turns out the game wasn’t where the bleachers are so I could have just used a camp chair – but I was getting some good sleep, more so than I have in months, so it all worked out I guess. I do love watching him play though). Anyway, his team won 7 to 2! Jarvis is a naturally good soccer player, and he loves it.
- Jacob has started doing magic tricks. He’ll be all “there’s nothing in my hands…” as he holds them up, then he’ll reach into his sleeve and pull out a coin or something. It’s pretty funny.
- According to me, I’m due on April 4th, according to the midwife it is April 12th. My original due date was the 4th, but with that first ultrasound they shoved it back, but then I saw on the 20 week ultrasound that the baby was measuring a little large – and hello – NONE of my other five kids ever measured large, they were either small or right on track. So I was like “I’ll just go back to the 4th when I’m not talking to the midwife!” According to *my* due date, I am 35 weeks today (according to hers, I will be 34 weeks tomorrow). I’m thinking this baby should be born on March 13th. Darby and Jacob were BOTH born on Friday the 13th and I think it’d be totally cool if Paige was too (it would be something to freak out the superstitious people with – I obviously am not superstitious in the least).
- Have I mentioned that I’m totally done being pregnant?!?! I mean, I want her to stay in the womb until she’s completely healthy enough to survive without problems – of course. But still – can we just fast-forward through these next couple or few weeks?!?! Please???
- Andy finally got his orders for our move – but we still have lots of details to work out. I can’t wait to have dates for the movers so I can really start planning our trip to NC.
- My husband is amazing! I know I say that all the time, but it’s just so evident to me all the time. And he just gets better with each passing day. Just when I think our life is perfect, he becomes an even better husband/father/Christian/man. I am so grateful for what God has done in our marriage and in our lives.
- Oh yeah – I forgot… I was going to make an amendment on the post about getting our new car! When I put that part about it being out of character for Andy – I didn’t mean the praying part or the listening to me part. I meant the fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants part and just head down to the dealership with a vehicle that may or may not start (when we were trying to get a decent trade-in value) without making plans and with the weather being less than ideal. Just thought I’d clarify. He’s not some tyrant who never goes along with the things I want to do, and he certainly brings our life issues to God in prayer. Just in case anyone took that the wrong way. lol!
- I wonder if, after this baby is born, I will EVER want to eat my daily dessert again in my entire life (Breyer’s Natural vanilla ice-cream topped with coconut and chocolate chips). I don’t think it’s something I would have eaten prior to getting pregnant, but lately I *must* have it nightly!!! Surprisingly enough, I’m not really gaining a lot of weight. I don’t think I’ve really gained in the 3 weeks since my last doctor’s appointment – although I’m getting enormous! Maybe our scale is just broken – it’s not the most reliable scale in the world (it could possibly be the least reliable scale though – not sure why we still haven’t gotten a new one).
- I have several friends and family members that are due to have a baby within the next month – I think 5, maybe more. It’s definitely baby time! I wonder who will go first?!?!? I think Kendra is due the soonest. What’s up Kendra? Anything happening there? Get that baby out already!!! lol
-
when is Kendra due? There is a lady due in our church tomorrow(March 1st) with her 1st baby. Most people think I will have Allie before her….we will see.
-
Yay I got photos to look at! Keep ‘em coming girl!
-
Glad you are sleeping better! Good thing you ‘clarified’ that about Andy! LOL! Hopefully the next few weeks fly by for you.
-
Glad you are sleeping better! Paige will be here soon!! We can’t wait to meet her. I’m sure she will be gorgeous as ever!
Family members preganant… that’s fun!!
-
Glad you’ve been getting some good sleep. It’s always good to hear you chipper
-
Are we starting to each guess when the baby will arrive? Have you ever noticed if the moon had an effect on you in your past deliveries like it does the tides?
There is a Full Moon on March 11. On March 20 – The Vernal Equinox occurs in the northern hemisphere. There will be equal amounts of day and night. This is also the first day of spring.
-
On Sunday, March 13th, 1921 Theresa Myrle Augustine was born. She later became my mother. Are you dead set on the name?
-
A full moon on March 11? YAY! I just realized earlier that my due date is also the 1st day of spring:) Petra you haven’t commented….where are you?
-
Sorry haven’t been commenting… my brain is fried. lol
-Kendra is due in a few days, I think.
-I don’t think the moon has had an effect, but then my last three babies were finally induced so I guess it wouldn’t have. I went into labor the evening of October 5th, 1993 with Brittany (I guess there’s probably a website that shows past moon cycles, eh?). With Justice, I woke up the morning he was born and my water had broken.
-I think it’d be cool if Paige was born on her great-grandmother’s birthday, but yeah – I think we’re sticking with her name. No offense to her, but I’m not a big fan of any of those names.
-Steph, I was sleeping. lol -
Ok. I can let you sleep.:-) precious commodity that it is I understand.
