I need to update every couple of days but haven't made the time to sit down to type everything out. I want to post it all because I don't want to forget. I use my blog to go back when I scrapbook. Otherwise I couldn't remember anything, especially since I have "pregnancy brain" in a major kind of way! One day last week (I think it was Thursday) we went to see my Ma Maw (Mom's mom). We enjoyed our visit with her! Here is a pic of her with the kids...



Friday Hannah & I ran several errands. Then we went to my doctor's visit. I had gained 3 pounds and Jaiden's heart was beating 156 times a minute. Everything seems to be great - I am measuring correctly (31 weeks). I now go to the doctor every 2 weeks. It is unreal how time has flown by. I can't believe in 2 months we will be able (Lord willing) to hold our sweet baby! I believe that she turned yesterday because I was having some pressure that felt like contractions and a little pain. Then all of a sudden I would feel her kicking and moving so I am thinking she may have turned herself head down. I am praying that is what she was doing. I really don't want to have a c-section. Some may think I am crazy but I enjoyed being in labor with Hannah and want to experience it again (with medication of course - I am not that nuts). I will do whatever is necessary for Jaiden to be safe but I am hoping no c-section. Anyway, I am feeling better today. A little sciatic (sp?) nerve pain but nothing I can't handle. I haven't been sleeping well & end up on the couch most nights. It feels better on my back to sleep on the couch. Hannah has had a few rough nights lately so that hasn't helped! I guess my body is trying to prepare me.

Saturday Emily & I met Rachel at Ashville Road Church of Christ for their Ladies Day. We had a great day. Emily & I went shopping afterwards. It was a much needed break for me. Josh took Hannah fishing for the first time and she LOVED it! I need to get the pictures from his phone and put them on here because they are really cute.

Sunday night after worship services we went to David & Susan's to eat dinner in honor of Alex (Josh's cousin). He leaves for college in a few weeks.

Monday Hannah & I stayed at home. I was so tired I didn't even make my Publix run. I cleaned the living room, even spot cleaned the carpet with OxiClean. It looks so much better. One room down, the rest of the house to go. I am determined to get everything deep cleaned before Jaiden gets here. Hopefully even before Hannah's birthday party in a week & a half.

Tuesday we met Amy & her kids to bowl. It was their last day of freedom. Then we went to Publix and home. I wasn't feeling good and laid on the couch the rest of the night.

Today we went to see my Mamaw again. My uncle passed away after a brief illness with an aggressive neurological disease. The memorial service is tomorrow night & I dread it for my mamaw & his family.

I am almost done pricing my consignment sale stuff and I will be thrilled to get it out of my house next week (I am going to early receiving). I am also looking forward to Sunday. I am having a small shower for family & a few close friends. Then we will spend next week getting ready for Hannah's 3rd birthday party! She is so excited about it and told everyone in Publix yesterday that she was having a princess party. I hope I can make it without falling over from exhaustion :0)

I'm Behind..

So much has happened since I last posted. Two weeks ago we went to a few nights of VBS at 6th Avenue. Hannah & I both enjoyed their VBS. Hannah went to class like a big girl and she came back in the auditorium like she owned the place. One day that week (I think it was Tuesday) we met Jennifer, Ian, & Maddie at Zaxby's (my craving with this pregnancy) for lunch. Then we went to Fun Factory to play with Jared, Emily, Pam, Xander, & Mrs. Susan. The kids had so much fun playing - even the adults had fun. Some a little too much fun. I won't mention who burst the pump to one of the bouncy houses. I didn't take any pictures. I was just jealous that I couldn't jump & slide!

That Friday (the 24th) my mom took Amy, Bradley, Emily, Clay, Hannah, & me to Sportsman Park in Cullman. It is a great place to go. They have a pond that a train goes around. They have a big picnic area, a park, & a putt-putt golf course. We had a picnic lunch. Then we played putt-putt. Hannah wasn't interested in waiting on her turn (it was really hot) & she didn't want anyone to help her. She ended up running around the course (we were the only ones on it) & playing her own game. Then we rode the train around the pond and fed the ducks/geese. We ended the day with a shaved ice! YUMMY!! I wish I had one right now. That night we went to the youth devotional at the Sylvan Springs walking track/park.











On Saturday I took Hannah to a skating party. It was her first time to skate. She wanted me to hold her hand at first but by the end of the party she ventured out by herself.




Last week on Sunday, Monday, & Wednesday nights, we went to VBS at Adamsville. Hannah went with the 3 year old class because they only had two other kids. She has always liked being around Jace. Heather & I were pregnant at the same time and every time we visit they always play together.

The most exciting news is that on Thursday they delivered Hannah's furniture!!! YIPPEE!! I felt like it was Christmas. I was so giddy with excitement. As soon as the delivery men left, I transferred Hannah's clothes to her new room, & then started washing Jaiden's clothes. I am slowly but surely getting everything together in their rooms. I spent the whole weekend sorting through stuff. I am putting some stuff in the Kids Market consignment sale. Saturday mom & Amy came over to price our stuff. I am still going through our stuff and getting it ready. It is a slower process when you are pregnant and have a toddler running around. I know my house will be put back together before Jaiden's arrival. I just hope I don't go crazy from the clutter in the meantime. :) I will post pictures of Hannah's room soon. Have a great Monday!!
