Diane - Glad to hear that Natalie's fever seems to be getting better! I hope all of the tests she had done come back with good results! As for me, there isn't much of an update to give really. I am still here and still VERY uncomfortable!!! I haven't been feeling up to doing much but I am trying to do some last minute things in the nursery. I am still trying to find a rocker/glider for in there that isn't a fortune!!! I found one on www.walmart.com that is $99 but then shipping is another $80! And I cant seem to justify spending almost the same on shipping as the item I am buying! Our friend that was visiting from Japan left on Friday to go visit some other friends up in South Carolina, then he is heading to Cali to meet up with his wife & daughter for the holidays. I really enjoyed having him here. He gave Quentin a lot of first hand fatherly advice for when Aryanna gets here! Which is nice because he will listen to him since it came from one of his friends. Advice like: dont expect me to be back to doing normal house work right away, to be patient because the baby will get on his nerves at times, and to be sure to give me a break from the baby sometimes because it will really wear on us if I am doing all the stuff with the baby and he isnt helping. Saturday night, Quentin and I went to the mall and I got a new leather purse and wallet with the gift card that Matt gave me. Ended up only costing me $4. Then we went to KMart adn I got a pair of sweat pant to replace the pair I put a whole in and got Quentin a pair of Thinsulate gloves. They had some pretty good sales on clothes 30-50% off almost everything! Then we came home and watched "The Polar Express" together. Neither of us had seen it before so it was nice to get to spend a quiet evening together. Yesterday I made some chocolate covered pretzels and some Oreo truffles. They were a lot of work but are so delicious!!! I still felt pretty good last night so Quentin and I went to the movies at the theater on base. We saw The Santa Claus 3. It was pretty good, but I loved the first 2 so I figured I would like this one too! After about an hour though my hips started killing me and I was ready to leave! Good thing it was only an hour and a half long! I was able to suffer through the last 1/2 hour! Today I havent done anything but lay around. I am really tired, didnt sleep well last night at all. Now I am watching some Christmas movies while I wait for Quentin to get home!

Could every one please say a few prayers tomorrow for my friend Staci?! I posted a while back about her. She had a miscarriage in October 2005. Well I think I also posted that she got her 2nd BFP about a month before me. She is going in the morning at 6 to be induced!!!! Little Allie Madison should be here tomorrow!!! I will update you all once she is here and I know the details. Please just keep Staci, Tim, and Little Allie in your thoughts tomorrow!!!

What do you guys think? Have I dropped? I am not sure....I think the top of my belly looks lower but the bottom doesn't look any lower to me really.

Hi girls, Diane-I'm so glad that Natlie's temp was lower today. Poor little thing. Still no word on what it is? Jennifer-Woo,I'm glad you are okay. I was concerned until I saw your message today. You take care of yourself. What are you feeling? Linda-Gosh, can that baby girl of yours get any cuter??? She just looks like a precious little angel in that dress! You look beautiful too. I love the picture where the pastor/priest, whatever, is holding her up. Gosh, what gorgeous pics... Jacque, Well, do you think we've lost Amanda and Kristina for good? I hope not. I want to see an updated belly pic of you and Jennifer too...Great idea about scanning and posting the picture for my siggy. I LOVE It! I will send you a photo when I go on Christmas vacation, next week. I think my last day is next Wednesday. As far as the crawling thing, Abri does get into the Xmas tree...little bugger. Her sister was not even close to as much work as she is. She's off and running! I just know the little stinker butt is going to be walking before I know it. She's so advanced!
Abriyel is talking!!! I know you guys all think I'm crazy, but she is. She says, "Mama," "Dadda", "Desi (for Yesi), and "Que?" which is "what?" in Spanish. I'm positive she knows what she's saying, b/c her babysitter told me that she was talking the other day. She said, "Maestra, Abri esta habl...oh my gosh, how funny, I started typing in Spanish. Anyways, she said, "Teacher, Abriyel is talking now." Then she told me the four words that she hears her say, and she was right on! Cool, huh??? Alisha

Hi ladies. I am having another busy week. It seems like I spend all of my free time either getting ready for Christmas or doing paper work (Tax preparation). I wanted to have time today to read and do personals.... but no such luck. So for now, I am just dropping in to let you all know that I am thinking of you today and I hope everyone is having a great day. Thursday is my slow day.... as always, so I hope I can get to it then.

Hi ladies! Well, it is 8am and things are already crazy here. Kailey is home sick. Started feeling ill yesterday and is home from school again today. Between her and the kids there is no way I will have time to catch up. Her temp is 101.1, but she is just complaining about a headache.... no throwing up, no diarrhea. But she is sleeping tons so she is obviously fighting something. At least I had time to read posts this morning, so I know what is going on with all of you!

Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. Things here are not so much. I have been in a lot of pain the last few days and I am not really sure what to make of it. I can't wait to get to the Dr tomorrow! The pain is in my upper back and chest. When I breathe it hurts a lot. Kinda like I have broken ribs or something. Hopefully the Dr can give me advice to help it not hurt so much. It has seriously had me in tears at least 3 times.
Also I have been suffering from insomnia for the past week. Last night is the first night that I have actually fell asleep before 4:00 in the morning. Then after I am asleep, I cant stay asleep. I am usually up at least every 20 minutes, for no reason, I just wake up. It wouldnt bother me as much if there was a reason for me waking up (like being uncomfortable or needing to pee) but there isnt. I am going to ask the Dr if there is something I can take to help me sleep.
I also wanted to give you all an update on my friend Staci. I haven't heard from her yet hopefully tomorrow or this weekend. However, I have seen a picture of the baby. She is so cute! She was born Tuesday night at 8:11pm and was 6 lbs, 13 oz and 19.75 inches long.

Hey all, Jenn, I'm glad that your friend had her baby and all is well. Sorry that you're having pain. I'm sure they'll give you something though.. They don't mind giving people as far along as you are something for pain. Oh my gosh, your baby is in the last box, and you have less than a month to go. You must be getting sooooooooooooooooooooo excited! I can't wait to see pics. Maybe you'll deliver early. Jacque, I'm sorry that Kailey is sick...poor girl. Yesi keeps complaining about her neck hurting. I'm not sure what's wrong with her. As for me, I'm just getting nervous as heck. I'm majorly late on my period. Haven't had a real one in over a month and a half...I'll be testing in the morning b/c I've been in denial long enough. I keep thinking it's probably just b/c I switched birth control pills. Also, I've been really sad lately b/c a very good friend of mine at work died on Tuesday morning. She was only 41 years old and had 5 sons. It's so devastating and hard to believe b/c she's one of those people that you think will never EVER die! She had the best personality, and was so full of life. The death was completely out of the blue unexpected. She had been complaining of headaches, and went in for a CT scan last Monday...then Tuesday morning she died of an aneurysm. It's so sad. Take care everyone, and tell people that you love them, Alisha

Alisha - Sorry to hear about your friend! That is horrible! I'll keep you, your family, and her family in my thoughts!
Diane - I hope that Natalie's fever goes away soon! Glad to hear that it is just a low grade fever now though!
Jacque - How is Kailey feeling today?
I had my appointment this morning. The Dr seems to think that the pain my my back is a pulled muslce and the pain in my chest is an esophageal spasm. So he has me taking extra strength tylenol for the back pain and Tums for the chest pain. Hopefully that will help.
He also said that he wont even think about induction at this point. SO......what are some ways to bring on labor?! He said a lot of walking and sex should help. Anything else?! I really want to have this baby!!!!

Merry Christmas! Lukey saw Santa yesterday at my work, he did so good! He didn't tell him what he wanted for Christmas, but he managed to stand next to him and look at him. Last year he took one look and ran away screaming! LOL! Here's another where Izzy's looking:

HI ladies, Well, the test was negative, but still no period. This is so strange for me, b/c I'm never late. I'm nervous, b/c if you remember, I was like I think 7 days or 10 days late before I got my bfp with Abri. I'm going to freak out until I get my af.
Anyways, on a different topic, things have been rough around here. I'm sure you all heard about the Kim family lost in the woods. That was quite close to me, and now we've got the missing climbers on Mt. Hood. I'm not sure how much coverage on it you guys are getting over there, but I'm only an hour away from Mt. Hood, so it is really hitting me hard. I feel so badly for those poor family members of the missing climbers, and we just got news that one of the men was found dead in a snow cave. The three have been missing for 9 days on Mt. Hood. I've been praying for them and watching the news very closely. I just feel like there is too much tragedy going on around here.
Congrats to all you 2006 People of the Year award recipients... Alisha

Well ladies... I still need to fill you in about my last appointment and about the baby shower, but first let me tell you about Kailey and get personals typed out.... Kailey started feeling "off" on Wednesday. She said her head hurt and she did not feel like eating, but she was not throwing up or having diarrhea. She just had a low grade temp. This continued on Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat and most of Sunday! This is crazy because she is NEVER sick, over five days she ate less then she does in one normal day. I felt so bad for her, she just sat around and watched TV (something else she never does). We gave her some Tylenol Cold and Vick's Vapor rub starting on Thursday.... I hate giving medicine unless I absolutely have to... and that helped a little, but just enough to help her sleep good. Saturday and Sunday she wanted to get out of the house, so we took her shopping... we are almost done. THANK GOD! My Christmas cards are all out. This is the first year in forever that I was able to keep up on them. Now I just have to get the last few shower thank-yous out in the mail and then I will be set until it is time to send out Valentines Day cards and Birth Announcements. Diane: It sounds like Kailey and Natalie were fighting the same thing.... but maybe Kailey's temp leveled out sooner because she is older. How is Natalie doing now? What about your FIL, how is he doing? Jennifer: I have to laugh when I read your posts... I know it sucks, but the last month of pregnancy is awful. Just think, when I am dealing with my last month you will be holding your little baby!!!! I would like to tell you it gets better, but it will continue to get progressively worse until you deliver..... then you will really "forget" almost all of the aches and pains you are having. In fact, you will completely forget about them until you are either 1. filling in a first time mom about what your pregnancy was like.... or 2. pregnant with your second child!!!! --- I love the Polar Express... my step mom is getting it for Kailey for Christmas, and I am so excited!!!! I also really like the Santa Claus movies, especially the 2nd one. Wed did not make it to our theater to see the 3rd one..... but I know we will rent it when it comes out. --- The top of your belly does look different, but I do not think you dropped yet. Do not worry about when you will drop.... I promise it will happen sometime with in the next month. --- I am glad Stacie's delivery went well and that her little girl is so adorable. I bet seeing her baby makes you want your baby even more! --- When I was pregnant with Kailey we tried massive amounts of sex, walking, and Mexican foods to bring on labor...nothing worked, babies are stubborn and they will not come until they are ready! Linda: It is so cool that Luke's school takes so many trips.... Kailey's preschool class was like that too. I think it is so important for them to have "out of class" learning experiences. I looks like he had a good time, and the manger photo is to cute! --- Santa pics are great! Kailey did not get her photo taken with Santa until she was 7 years old, he scared the crap out of her!!!! Alisha: LOL on Abri getting into the tree.... everyone tells me that we were so lucky with Kailey and that she is such a good girl that Garrett is just going to be a handful!!!! --- Kailey's last day of school is on Wednesday also.... they get out a bit early, so she really only has 2.5 days this week. Then they do not go back until Jan 3rd. --- Kris only posts once it a great while, as for Amanda. I sent her an email a while back, but no reply. My guess is that she is just super busy, I hope she checks in soon.... Emily too.... i wonder how she is doing??? Have you heard from her lately? --- I am so sorry about your frined... Mike's sister had an aneurysm when she was 8, and she did not make it either. I cannot imagine losing a family member so suddenly. I will keep you and your friends family in my prayers. --- LIL you are late. LOL you are going to have a little boy..... oh, I just read that your test was negative.... but as we always used to say.... it is not over until AF shows!!! I am sorry, I am being an ass. I hope I did not miss anything, and you can slap me if I did. I am now going to post about my babyshower and last appointment! Jacque
