22 weeks and 3 days!!!
We went to the MFG better known as the highrisk dr. yesterday.. We are doing well.. He was head down and boxing away inside of me.. now I know when I have been getting uncomforatable and why.. It was precious to see him doing so well..
I have not posted pictures lately so hopefully i will posted some ultrasound pic's by the end of the week.. I apologize for that..
Well, obviously the "nesting syndrome" has kicked in so I have highlighted weeks of certain things to do around the house and daily stuff to accomplish set out on a list.. along with a color coded calendar.. sounds ridiculous but it helps tremendously to know that I am accomplishing something.. And I never know when they may possibly say you need to go back on bed rest.. I am still taking it easy.. No lifting or straining and no vaccming I make sure that I leave that kind of stuff for Brad.. And yes I even asked him what day of the week does he want to vaccum.. He has only agreed to one day I would do it more than that but I can't so that is where compromise in a marriage comes in.. LOL..:) Some say nesting dont start till third trimester but it has hit me early or I am just going stir crazy.. I sit alot when I do things..
I have even tried to cook some more and the wifey stuff.. tonight I have set some round boneless steak in the fridge to thaw.. Tomorrow night we are having Pepper Steak.. I have not cooked this version before but if you are like me i am always trying to find something new to cook...So I am going to try out the recipe and if I approve cause I am picky I will share the recipe with you the nest time I am on..
May God bless You ALL and I pray that you all have a very blessed week..

Just sitting here...
I have been extremely lazy today.. I guess dreary Sundays are good for that... I am thinking about what all this last year or so has taught me and my family in general.. It is just absolutely amazing.. I know that I mentioned to you about a book I read after losing Samuel.. Well I am about to start reading part 2 of it.. It is call A NEW KIND OF NORMAL BY: CAROL KENT
We are definitly about to embark on a new kind of normal.. God knows I am scared and excited all at the same time.. we have a 22 wk checkup tomorrow and I pray that we get great results.. There is alot that we need to get done to prepare for Salem but I just have not wanted to do anything major till we can get past the 23 to 25 week points... We are so close to get over them hump.. I am so excited but trying to maintain balance.So many ?'s go thru my head..
What is really going to feel like to hear a baby cry right when it is born?
what will it be like changing a diaper outside of a incubiator? Will Salem pee on me the first time like Samuel did? What will it be like to feed Salem right away and not just let him get one time taste from my finger like Samuel? What will it be like the first night home with Salem? So So many more ?'s go thru my head... Will I keep him clean enough... Will I keep him feed enough.. I am just in awe of all these ?'s that constantly pop up in my mind.. I don't remember having these kind of ?'s before..
I guess it is good to have these ?'s so we can highlight these as we go throughout this new journey we are so close to...
Well.. I thank all of you for your love, prayers, and support.. We serve an AWESOME God!!!
May You each have a blessed week!!
