Well baby Amelia Lauren was born today at 12:06pm. She is 19 inches long and weighs 6 pounds 13.7 ounces!!! She was born with a full head of black hair, that is about an inch long. Both Amelia and my sister are doing well. Amelia in on oxygen because her oxygen level was low and she is also on sugar water because her sugar level was low. The dr said it was normal because my sister has diabetes. So as soon as she is off the oxygen, sugar water and is able to suck, she will be able to go to the regular nursery and be able to come home soon after!!!!

There is a belly pic in my siggy if you want to see how I am "carrying". I will take them every two weeks from here on out, I did take one at 10 w 6 d, but I had jeans on and to be honest with you it is a horrible photo.... so you will not be able to compare photos for a few more weeks. I also weighed myself this morning, I have not gained any weight since my last visit..... I think I will stay pretty much the same in the weight department for a while because morning sickness kicked back in yesterday..... Anyway I am back to freaking myself out that there is something wrong with the baby. Wednesday is my birthday, and I hope and pray that Mike gets me a heart monitor so we can hear the heartbeat. The one that they have at Wal-mart says that it cannot pick up the heartbeat until 20 weeks though... so he is really not to keen on buying it. Jennifer: I love your new siggy, your belly looks so cute. I am also very happy that all is going well with the new baby. Alisha: I am sorry you had to go though all of that with your tub/shower combo. I hope you end up getting all of your money back.... I cannot believe that is all they gave you to tie it down with. Anyway, we are very excited about Kailey starting school... she now has everything she needs. Her first day is Monday. I really got used to having her around, I am really going to miss her during the day. Where / how is everyone else?Jacque Jacque

Sorry I havent been posting much lately! Things have been pretty busy around here! Between my sister having her baby and us trying to get Aryanna's room painted we haven't had time for much else! Quentin finally finished the painting last night so today I have been working on drawing the flowers on the walls. I am going to try to get some of the flowers painted this evening. I still have about 1/2 the room left to draw though. There is no electric in that room right now so the ceiling fan isn't working and I just realized that Quentin had the central air set at 80 so it was like 85-90 upstairs. I had to come down and take a break because I was sweating so bad up there!!!
Other than that, I am just getting ready for our trip to Ohio. We are leaving here on Saturday morning and coming back next Sunday. We have my sister's baby shower this Sunday. I hope baby Amelia is out of the hospital by then! Then on Monday Quentin, my mom, and I are going to take my nephew to our local county fair. Monday is opening day so we are going to take him to see the parade, the animals, and to ride rides in the evening! It should be fun. Then on Tuesday, we are taking my nephew home and visiting with my sister and Amelia. The rest of the week we will go to the fair everyday and try to catch up with some friends we havent seen in awhile.

Jacque --- I LOVE YOUR BELLY!!!! It is sooo cute! Cant wait to have pictures to compare it too! Good job on the weight gain. I havent gained any either. I am actually between 7 and 10 pounds less than I was when I got pregnant. But my doctor doesnt seem worried so neither am I! Its actually kinda nice! I hope that Mike gets you the heart monitor for your birthday, but dont be too disappointed if you cant hear the baby's heartbeat for a few more weeks. I have yet to hear mine on the heart monitor but I havent tried for a week or so.
How is everyone else?!

Jennifer - congrats to your sis! Jacque - cute belly pic!!!!!! When is your next appt? will it be worth getting a doppler now since you will start to feel movements very soon? Last night I was watching on TV a show called in the womb and they say at 26 weeks, people can put their ears on your tummy and hear the baby's h/b, so DH did that last night and can hear it.

Hi girls, Diane- I'm so glad that your dh could hear the baby's heartbeat. Mine never could hear it. Jacque- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even know that your birthday was coming up. So, are we just not going to post on the 2006 mommas board any more? Where in the world is Emily? I would love to know how she is and how far along she is. Can you update me, since I can't contact her right now? I think you might as well just close that posting board down, b/c we can just chat here. About the doppler, I'm not sure if he bought it for you or not, but if he didn't, don't worry. If it's the one I got at WalMart, I never could hear the heartbeat. All I ever heard was kicking. I think mine is called, "Bebe sounds" or something like that. If he did get it for you, I hope it works for ya' and that it's a different brand. Don't worry about that sweet little nugget. She's fine...ha! Don't tell Mike about that comment. Hee Hee! Jennifer- Congrats to you on the new niece. Cute belly shots. Kris, Amanda? ?? I haven't spoken to you two for EVER!!! Linda- I bet you are getting so excited. Time is ticking by so fast. As for me, I had the best day ever...well kinda'. Tonight as we were eating dinner, Yesenia came up to me and in her sweet little voice said, "I love you mommy. You're the bestest mommy." It brought tears to my eyes. I just adore her so much! Nutrisystem is going great. I lost 4.5 pounds in the first week, and will weigh in again on Saturday. I can't wait! Abri is fantastic. She's just such an adorable...you'll have to take my word on that for now...baby in the world. Of course, I am a little biased. She's an angel baby and only cries when she's hungry or tired. She's not fussy at all. It will be really hard for me to go back to work in a couple weeks. Serge finally got the bathtub in tonight around 6 pm. He's planning on installing the shower tomorrow. So, if all goes well, I should be taking a nice, hot shower FOR ABOUT AN HOUR tomorrow night. I'm sick of taking showers at the aquatic center after I work out, or in the kitchen sink. UGH! Take care girls, Alisha

This has been copied and pasted, I am having a hell of a time catching up today... the good news is that this is my last day of summer care... school starts on MONDAY!!!!
LOOK AT MY TICKER, MY BABY IS IN THE 4TH BOX!!!!!
Kailey's school open house was really cool last night. We really like Kailey's teacher... she seems awesome. There are also two 3rd grade teachers there from Visitation (they started working at Irving last school year) and they both said Kailey's teacher was a really good teacher. Plus all of the teachers in each grade work with all of the kids.... so Kailey will also be working with the Teachers that used to work at Visitation. We also looked at Joe's room(my brother) and met his teacher, his class is right below Kailey's so she thought that was cool. We also looked in Cole's class room (a day care kid that is in the second grade) and said hi to his teacher, he is on the opposite side of the building as Joe and Kailey. I was really nervous, but by the time we left I knew that we made the right choice and that Kailey is going to like it there. Plus, there are 5 kids in Kailey's class that she knows in passing, so that will help her get adjusted to everything new.
Mike got me a DVD burner for my birthday.... now I can make the video at home instead of going over to our friend Chip's house. It will make things so much easier! I also got Remember the Titans (next to Hoosiers this is the best sports movie ever) and the 6th Harry Potter book in paper back. The biggest surprise was the heart monitor, he bought one and I was soooo excited, but it does not work, so we have to exchange it for another one. Bummer.
Anyway, it has taken me 3 hours to type this, I am going to post this now and then get to personals in a bit.
Jacque

Hi all, Jacque-So I made it back on tonight after all. I am happy you had a good bday. My mom got the same gift as you for her bday, and they are almost the same day even. How funny is that? I'm glad that Kailey likes her new classroom. I'm sure she'll do great in the new setting, and it's good that she knows some people already. When does it start again? Any more thoughts on the team green thing? Amanda- I'm glad that you stopped in and said hi. It is so nice to hear from you from time to time. Is baby lexi getting so big? She must be what, about 2 months by now, right? It sucks that we have to go back to work, doesn't it? Wish I had the luxury of being a sahm. Lucky bums. Take care all, Alisha

34 1/2 weeks OB appt udate: So, found out today that I'm measuring 6 weeks ahead!!! Yes, that's right I have a belly of a 41 week pregnant person! My blood pressure was fine, urine was fine, heart rate was fine. Doc wants to start seeing me weekly and I get another u/s next week to check on amniotic fluid levels and the baby's size. He said that if my contractions start up and don't stop to give them a call and they will admit me and won't stop them seeing as I have a full term sized baby in there. He guesses I'll have a 10 lb baby again, oy vey! Oh, and I gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks! I think it's water, but anyway that makes a total of 15 lbs! ETA: belly pics from today
