I am glad to hear that. MAke sure you listen to your body and don't try to push it. Body gives you signs before you get to the pass out point, so please be careful.
How are you feeling this last month??? everything ready for baby??? You will be lucky once you have Aryanna you will have some mommy pros to help you out.
How cool is that, finding a doll with the exact same name, I should look for one for Natalie

Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know how my appointment went today.
I saw a different doctor than my normal doctor (which is nothing new). Anyways, I gained a little too much over the holiday weekend, up 5 pounds from my last appointment. I don't understand it though because our scales at home are only up about 2 pounds, maybe it was the bottle of milk I drank right before my appointment?! Her heartbeat was good and strong, right around 140 bpm. And I am FINALLY measuring where I should be instead of 2 weeks ahead!!!! He said at my next appointment (36 weeks) they will do the first internal exam as well as the Group B test. And he also said that if I were to go into labor now since I am almost 34 weeks they most likely wouldn't do anything to stop it! That means I really need to get my butt in gear and get things ready in case things start happening!!!
How is everyone else today?!

Hi girls, Well, good news from the pediatrician. Abriyel does have esotropia, but it's only intermittent esotropia. That means that it can still "fix itself" up to 12 months, according to him. He said we do have to keep a close eye on it though, b/c if it continues and goes untreated, it can lead to loss of vision in the bad eye. But, that won't happen, b/c we are being very vigilant, and won't let any turns go unnoticed. He said to keep track of how often we notice it turn for the next month, and if we don't see many turns, we will contiue watching it, but not treat it yet. If it is often, they will send her to an eye Doctor and begin treating it as soon as next month, with a patch, A PATCH, NOT SURGERY!!! I'm so happy about that! He said it is definitely not a bad case, and we don't need to worry, just watch. So, thanks for your prayers girls, they worked!
Linda, Look at her! She's so adorable. I love pics when it looks like the brand new ones are sitting up. I have one like that of Yesenia. I am excited to show you pictures of mine too. Your house looks very pretty. The inside of mine is decorated, but not the outside. I love Christmas! I finally figured out how to view the video. It was so fun seeing her live, and in action. I LOVED it. How do you do that?
Jennifer, I love the necklace. It is so pretty. Serge got me a past, present, future necklace last year. I loved it! When Yesi was born, his gift to me was a heart necklace with her birthstone inside it. When Abri was born, he got me two new charms for my italian charm bracelet. One says, "It's a girl!" and the other says, "I love my daughters." For Christmas, he's getting me one that says, "I love Abriyel." I love my charm bracelet. I think all of the gifts that you got for everyone in your family are awesome. They will all love them!
Jacque, Thanks for trying to make me feel better about Abriyel's eye. I'm sure everything will work out. I'm glad that kailey's eye got better without surgery. That is so cute about the newborn boy cabbage patch kid. When I was her age, I used to collect them. My family bought me 9 over the years, and I still have every one of them, and their original clothes. I have them displayed in Yesi's bedroom, along with the two that we've already purchased her. She plays with my old dolls, and it is just such a special thing for me. My very first cabbage patch was named Thelma, which is very special, b/c that was my paternal grandmother's name. She was, and still is, one of the most influential and special people I have ever known. I miss her so much. She died when Serge and I started dating, but it's neat b/c before she passed, I told her that I was going to marry him one day, and I did. So in a way, it's like they knew each other. It's fun to see Yesi play with Thelma, b/c then I talk to her about my grandma Thelma. I know, I'm such a sucker for emotional stuff. That's weird about the Doctor not letting vaginals go over 8 pounds...I"ve NEVER heard of such a thing! In Oregon, you NEVER hear of such a thing. Most Doctors will not induce labor until the baby's are at least 2 weeks past their due date. It majorly sucks. And they won't change your due date, practically EVER! Tell your Doctor, that we need more of his kind around here. Oh, by the way, about that "Us being to dumb to pump our own gas in Oregon" slam... What's wrong with you Hick from the sticks Illinois women, too wimpy to deliver big babies!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, you know you had that one coming.
Love, Alisha

Jacque, Abri's ears are doing a little better. They aren't infected anymore, but there is still fluid in there, and has been for two months. Doc is pretty sure tubes are in the forecast for her. Poor baby! Diane, I'm so sorry to hear about your fil. I hope that the infection goes away and that his blood sugar returns to normal. Keep us posted.

Hello Ladies... no time to read posts. I just wanted to drop in to say HI!!! And, to ask Linda and Diane.... are you two supposed to get a TON of snow? The weather report just said that we can get between 12-19 inches!!!! Since you are both so close to me I was wondering if it was the same for you.
Ok, Time to have hot coco with the kids!

HOLY SNOW!!!! I am not kidding, this is just fantastic. Our entire town is closed. There are areas of our yard that are almost 5 foot deep, and we live in town. I am still open today, but only one kid was able to make it to my house. And that is because his dad drives a snow plow. It is so beautiful outside right now, and since Kailey and Brendon are the only ones here it is just like having the day off. Diane: How is your FIL doing? --- We put up even more decorations today, the house is starting to look very festive, I will post photos when we are done. --- We are very lucky when it comes to storying gifts, my dining room and kitchen have shelves all around the ceiling, I do not keep much up there during the year... but at Christmas time I put all of our wrapped gifts up there. It is nice because the kids cannot get into them and they also make a nice decoration. --- Jennifer: Your photos are beautiful! I cannot believe how great they turned out, you must be so very happy with them. --- It sounds like your appointment went great, I cannot believe that you are to the point where you will start having internal exams. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!! Exams mean that you are almost DONE!!!! Yes, you need to get your butt in gear, you have about 40 days, if you figure Christmas and baby preparation in there then that 40 days is just going to fly!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!! - Hey... PM me your home address, I am getting Christmas cards ready and I have everyone's address but yours! Linda: I love your new website. I am glad you put a page on there for Joshua also, he was so small..... but so beautiful. I never realized that you have a grave stone for him. That is perfect, it is important for Luke and Izzy to know about their big brother. I was looking at his footprints, and noticed that it has his size written down. He was less then one pound and only a little over six inches? How far along were you, around 20 weeks... right? I hope it is ok that I am talking about this so much...... --- CHRISTMAS PHOTOS!!!! They are great, I especially like the one of Izzy in her baptism gown. Alisha: A Patch??? That is awesome! Kailey wore one for a bit when she was younger (because she scratched her eye when she was 8 months), and it was much easier to keep on her then we thought. In fact, she did so well with it that her eye healed in less then 2 days. Our DR was impressed!!! --- Not all Illinois women are wimpy, just the ones in our county.... it was not like this when we lived closer to where Linda is at. I am not going to argue with it though. I would rather go a few weeks sooner then later.... that is as long as my baby is good and ready. --- I love the story about your Grandma and the cabbage patch kid. It is nice that your girls have your dolls to play with (Kailey plays with my CPK's also)!!! --- Sorry about the tubes, that has to suck. Yesi has tubes too, right? How old was she when she got them, how old will Abri be? OH.... How much snow did everyone else get?Amanda, Kris, Chrissy: Not sure if you are still checking in, but I wanted to say HELLO!!! You all seriously need to post more. Jacque

Jacque - wow, thanks for looking at my new website! I just set it up and will be working on it and adding more stuff! I'm always afraid to put stuff in about Joshua since I don't know how people will react. Yes, he was 4 oz and 6 1/2 inches long, I was 20 weeks along when I had him. He was small for his gestation though because of his condition. Most babies are supposed to be almost a pound by then. And, you can talk about him as much as you want! I love to talk about him and think about him! I often wonder what he would have been like.
Jennifer - I love your pg photos! They are great!
Alisha - I have a little video option on my digital camera and I just uploaded it to a hosting site, I think I used jusspress.com? Not sure, lol!
