Another Update

Well, I had another scare this week. This time I was admitted over at Labor & Delivery. (This was Wednesday night) My contractions just wouldn't stop so after three hours we went to the hospital. I was have contractions but they were not regular. The doctor on duty decided to run a test to see if I was pre-disposed to going into pre-term labor. Thank god I was negative, but since it was already 1 AM they decided to keep me until the morning. I just sent Roland and the kids home after that. Andrew thought it was neat to hear the baby's heartbeat and to hear him move and the nurse thought the baby moved around a lot as well. Yes baby Alex was trying to kick off the heart device again. I just I have to rest and drink lots and lots of water. Like I don't drink enough it anyway. Instead of peeing every 10 mins, now I feel I have to pee every 5 mins. Soon it will be every 3 mins. (oh goody) Oh and I don't have diabetes, but I am borderline but Roland reminded me that I was borderline when pregnant with Alexis. I have to do another test at 32 weeks. More yucky drink! YUCK!!! =(

In other news Alexis turns 3 this Saturday. We bought her a doll that cries (not very loudly =) ) and some clothes that you can change it with. She's very good with it. I've noticed that she does try to pick it up like a real baby. Tomorrow we will be going up to Nana and Poppy's to celebrate her birthday. Nana is going to make cup cakes this year. Good thing too, Alexis has been asking for cup cakes. Let's hope she doesn't cry when we sing "Happy Birthday" to her. I sung one to her earlier today and she just cheered after I finished. Let's hope that is a good sign. I will have pictures later and whenever I get to posting them.

An Update

Let's see what happen this past week.

Well, I already have a trip to labor and delivery this week. Thursday I had cramping while at work, called the doctor told me just to drink water and take some Tyenoly and I told my boss, my boss told me to go home, since it was slow and while on the phone with my doctor they told me that my diabetes test came back high so I had to do a three hour test. =( More yucky drink at higher dose of sugar. So I told my boss I would have to take I would have to take Friday off as well. I decide to stop off at my doctor's to pick up the paper work I need for the test and told the nurses I had three cramps in the car that took only five minutes for me to get there and and had one right there in front of them. They told me they wanted to see me "now". So I got seen and I wasn't dilated but they wanted me to go to labor and delivery. GREAT!!!! So stayed there for two hours and I have decided that I would nickname Alex "Wiggle worm" I couldn't believe how much he moves and neither could the nurse. I know Alex doesn't like anything on my stomach but jeez whiz, quit trying to kick off the heart monitor. The nurse had to move the monitor several times just so we could hear the heart beat. He would move away from the monitor and just kick at it. After a while I just moved it so the nurse wouldn't have to come in every 10 to 15 min. After about an hour Alex stopped moving away from the monitor, guess he got tired. I might have not felt him move or kick but you could still hear moving. Little wiggle worm.

I will find out the results of my second diabetes on Thursday. Let's hope it's good. I just hope I don't have to stay home until Alex is born. I would go mad being on bed rest and how can I be on bed rest if Alexis stays home with me, which she would since I couldn't afford day care.

And that is about it for me for this week.

Andrew is very proud of himself this week: Hear is why:

Roland showed him how to get Alexis on his back. Miss Alexis loves it but after a while she gets to heavy for him. She get upset if he can't carry her, but after a while she gives up.

And that is about it for for now.

Pics and an update

Just some pics and an update:

I finally got my picture of my kids and my mother. HURRAY!!! =)

Aren't they cute?


Just goofing around.

Having fun with stickers:


On Saturday I found the house a little to quite. So I went looking around and this is why I found it so quite:

Don't you just love sleeping kids? I know I DO!!! =)

Here is one of Gizmo:

Every time I see Gizmo lounging like this, I keeping thinking I need to put a beer in front of him. But of course if I leave the room, I'm sure Gizmo would follow. (Well most of time he does, he's kinda my shadow and sometimes a shadow I don't want.) For some reason Gizmo has been doing something new. He gives me little love bites and they're only on my arm when I'm trying to take a nap or when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. I do have to watch him, if I don't give him some lovings he starts going for my face. (Is it because I'm pregnant or he thinks I don't pay enough attention to him? Yeah right, we play with the laser light every night before going to bed. He never gave me love bites when I was pregnant with Alexis.)

Other updates: Well I'm 6 months pregnant now and my next door neighbor asked if I was having twins. (Am I that big? I do feel big.) I was having braxton hicks contractions the other day, and while walking around the house, Andrew asked why I was holding my belly. I told him it felt heavy. Would you believe that Andrew started to hold my belly for me.
Alexis likes to tickle my belly. I ask her if she's tickling the baby. She says "yes".
I go to the doctor on Thursday for my diabetes test (that is where they make you drink something really yucky, you try drinking a cold flat drink with a lot of sugar in it) =(

Roland is helping train new employees at work, but they are at code "orange" at USAA, means everyone stay on the phone. Some training.

Well things at my work improved over the last week. We hired a new Admin. Asst. to come in the afternoon, but I found out today that she's not coming at all. She told the bosses "it's to hectic" HA!! No one has seen hectic like today. Two sets of project with lots of specifications (with a lot of edits, in which I only receive last Thursday and today) that had to go out today at 100% (100% means: all drawings should be finished and edits done as well) I didn't get to the printing but I had some help from the guys in the office. Oh and I found out that I got a raise today too! Surprise for me! Roland said "They really don't want you to quit do they?" I said "Guess Not."
Hopefully it's enough to pay for two kids in day care, because I really don't want to quit. I love the hours and now I really love the pay!!!
