so bad at posting

Well Christmas and New Years has came and went. Now we can start focusing on what we are going to have to do before this baby gets here. We have 68 days until our due date but they say only five percent come on the due date. I hope we have our little bumpkin before and not after. I cant imagine what it will be like if we have to wait any longer. It would also mess up the time I requested off of work. We are going over to my moms tonight to start making the invitation list for the shower. We thought it would just be a small shower but C and I both have people asking us to send them an invite. I thought people hated going to these things so we were just going to invite mostly family but I was surprise at how many people want to come not even knowing us that well. We also start our first birthing class this Thursday. It always makes me nervous to go somewhere and not know if that one person that hates "gays" is going to be there to ruin our special time. I haven't ran across any but I know they are out there and I hope I can be strong and ignore them if and when it happens. Happy 2010!

name change update

Last Thursday we took a half day and went down to the courthouse to turn the final paper work for the name change. The lady at the courthouse had no idea what she was talking about and was sort of rude but who cares some people are just that way. I don't think it was us, she looked like a B from the beginning. After that we went to our favorite restaurant and had dinner to celebrate. Then we went to see the musical A Christmas Story it was very good. We are not really musical people but we thought it would be nice to get out and do something we wouldn't normally do and I'm glad we did. Today I went to get a new social security card and my new license and change the name on my bank account it is so hard to sign a different name after signing the old one for 33 years. I feel like I am back in kindergarten I have to think about how to wright it. C and the baby are doing amazing I am still a little mad because c has only gained 10 pounds and I have gained 15 something is wrong here.

week 26+4 days

Name change

Well today was a good day after waiting six weeks we found out that the courts accepted the name change. Now it has to be posted in the local paper for three consecutive weeks and once that is done the name change will be finalized I am so happy we will all have the same last name now.

nursery pictures

Here are a few pictures of our nursery. We already have all the drawers full of onesies, sleepers and sheets. On the 30th of October I was able to feel the baby kick it was so cool C said that was the hardest it had ever kicked so I think it wanted me to know it was listening. I hate saying "it" but what else do I use? Last week was a very bad week for C we ended up in the Emergent Care clinic on Sunday with here back killing her she thought she must of over did some yard work on Saturday. The Doctor gave her muscle relaxers and sent her on the way. The next morning she still was in pain she even called into work and if you know C you would know that it must be bad because she never calls into work. She was in tears and throwing up everything nothing would stay down. Thursday I think she had enough and ended up going to the OB Dr. Friday. Well to make a long story short she passed a kidney stone. She said it was like night and day the way she felt. The OB put her on a anti-b and at dinner I noticed her face was turning red she was allergic to the anti-b so she called the Dr and they said to stop taking it and she didn't need any because the test they took showed no infection. That was good news we both hate her having to take pills with the little baby bumpkin in the oven but she was in so much pain what do you do? So C was wondering has anyone passed a kidney stone and had natural child birth? Which one is worse?

Belly picture 19 weeks 5 days

Here is the first belly picture. Tomorrow will be our 20th week so we are now finally on our down hill slide.

The Best Thing

The best thing about pregnancy so far? The movement. I felt movement for sure the first time in weeks 18/19.

The worst thing about pregnancy? Not feeling movement for two days in a row when you have been feeling it consistently for a week.

I am not completely freaked out by this yet. The movement has been light and we have been busy at home and work so I can see how I may not notice the movement. Yet it is unsettling. I wish I could just sit here (at work) nice and still until something happens.
