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!!!!

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.

Okay ladies.....it's been very eventful day today for my family.
First off, I want to ask you all for your prayers for my cousin and her family. She found out today that she lost both of the twins. She said her doctor is supposed to call her tomorrow and let her know when she can come in to deliver them since she is so far along (almost 20 weeks). I'll keep you all updated on her. Thanks for the prayers.
Secondly, thank you for all the prayers for my sister and Amelia. All of the prayers paid off because Amelia was able to come home today!!! ;D

Hey girls...just wanted to update after my appointment today. I have gained alittle over 5 pounds since my last appointment (6 weeks ago) and apparently my Dr wasn't too happy about it. He said I should have only gained about 3 pounds in that time. And I am measuring about 4 weeks ahead, so he is sending me for ANOTHER 3-hour GD test on Monday morning. Apparently passing 1 of them isnt good enough because he swears I am going to have GD sometime during this pregnancy. He says with my family history that i tis about a 90% chance I will develop it. Aryanna's heartbeat was in the 150s, just like it has been the whole time, so that is good. I have my next appointment on Sept. 21st. I wont be seeing my regular doctor though because he didnt have any open appointments until the afternoon of he 22nd and by then we will be on the road to Ohio. Since I am going to be away for 5 weeks he wants me to see a Dr right before I leave and then again once I get back.

Jennifer: Can you believe that you are almost done with the second trimester!!! I LOVE IT! I cannot believe that our pregnancies are going by so fast, I hope it is the same way for us the last few months. My Dr told me that I will also have to have several glucose test. He said that he thinks I will end up with it because of my weight. WHATEVER!!! Speaking of my weight, as of my last appointment I had still ganined 0 pounds. Well, he was actually a bit worried about that, said that he would have expected me to gain something.... so if I do not gain any weight by my next appointment then I am going to have to keep a food journal, I have no time for that! So, is everything in the baby's room yet? I love the photos, you did a great job with the flowers. Have you done anymore shopping? I know a ton of the stores are getting ready to stock up for winter so all of the summer stuff is on clearance. I bought some things the other day - a pair of bibs and a little summer dress, they were only two dollars a piece. Other then that I have just been looking. I love the fact that I am due in February because all of the winter things start to go on clearance the end of January, with a bit of luck I will get some good deals on the clothes baby will need between birth and spring!!! I have a ton of Internet catching up to do. I fell behind this week because I spent the majority of my free time typing up my Maternity leave notice to all of my day care parents. That way they all know well in advance what my plans are when it comes to leave. I will be taking about 4-6 weeks off, unless I have a c-section. Which I am praying that I don't! I am feeling better, have not puked all week. My next appointment is in 9 days, and within 9 days from that I will have my big ultrasound..... so, within 18 days I will know if I am going to have a boy or a girl. Mike and I were talking about finding out the gender again yesterday and Kailey walked in. She told us that we are going to find out (we keep changing our minds) and that is all there is to it. She said she can not handle all of this back and forth about finding out the gender. Then she told us that our third baby's gender can be a surprise. Nice to know that she has it all figured out for us. Well, we had a soccer game to go to yesterday at 8am then at 10am we had a football game. Then Kailey and I took down the crib we have and put it in the attic with the other one we cannot use. So now we have two cribs in our attic that we do not have all of the parts for. We also decorated for fall/Halloween!!! I love this time of year. We have not done much shopping for baby lately, so my guess is that we will hold off a bit longer and not even look for a crib (or anything else) until after we know the gender. So, we will be registering for a baby shower, buying for baby, and Christmas shopping all during the months of October, November, and December. I think we will be gone almost every weekend!!! I hope I can handle it, I will be kicking myself if we have to do it all online. Fantasy football also started this week, we now have a 12 team league, and I am still the only girl. Now I am the pregnant girl, I guess it will make it all that much more humiliating for the guys when my team kicks their butts. So far this week I am winning (because the opening game between Pittsburgh and Miami was on Thursday) so I hope this is a sign of good things to come. Mike and I both play on this league (it is a group of his friends) and the super-bowl winners gets 300$ and the other team that makes it to the super-bowl gets 200$, considering that baby is due right around super-bowl time it would be really nice if one (or both) of us made it to the big game this year. Anyway, I am behind a belly pic, and I should post photos of those clothes, I need to stop finding so much to do and just take the photos!!! Jacque

Jacque - I cant believe I am almost 2/3 of the way done with this pregnancy either! But I am so excited that the time has flown by so fast! Let’s just pray it continues to do so and the last trimester doesn’t drag on forever!!! I can’t wait for Aryanna to be here!!! It seems like I have been waiting on her for 3 years now!! (which I have I guess since it took us so long to conceive her in the first place).
I am still waiting on the Dr to call with the results of my GD test from yesterday. Usually he calls the day after I take it with the results but hasn’t so far today. Do you really think that a 5 pound gain in 22 weeks is too much? I guess I am just frustrated with him for making me do this test so much. I don’t really think it is too much considering I am 22 weeks and was just getting my appetite back around my last appointment so I have been eating more since then. Make since? I hope that you gain something at least so you don’t have to keep a food journal! If you had to do that then it would cut into your internet time and we would all surely miss you!!!
We still have some stuff to do in the nursery before it is ready. Glad you like the flowers I did….they turned out pretty well in my opinion too! We still have to get a rocking chair, rug, and a mattress for in there. As well as clean the floors from where the paint splattered on it, we didn’t lay any plastic down when we painted since it wipes right off the hardwood floors. We also have a dresser that is at my parents for in the room. I am hoping it will fit in the closet but I don’t have dimensions for it yet. It still needs to be stripped and painted white as well.
All of the shopping that we have done (clothing wise) has been on clearance. I can’t stand buying retail price!!! I think the most expensive thing I have bought were 2 outfits at WalMart over the weekend. They were $5.50 each, but they had a skirt, shirt, and sweater all together. The WalMart near us had their clearance apparel 50% off that day!!! I have also bought some stuff at a consignment store near us. Over the weekend I picked up some sleepers there, as well as a pink gingham night light and a Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium thing that goes on the crib that plays music and has lights and stuff. It was only $15 and they are like $30 in stores. We are going back tonight to see how much they will give us for all of the Blue Jean Teddy stuff we have. Hopefully a decent amount since we have A LOT of stuff!!! I am also hoping that they still have the Jumperoo that they had over the weekend. They had it marked at $36 and I really want one but don’t want to spend $70 on one.
I love shopping for Aryanna!! I can’t seem to stop! We have really stepped up the shopping since we found out she is a girl! I am sure you will be the same way! I thought you already had a crib? Maybe I am thinking of someone else. Who knows….Preggo brain I guess!!!
Speaking of shopping, I need your opinion on some purchases we made this weekend. Quentin and I bought our Pack N Play and high chair this weekend and are picking up our travel system tonight because they were out of stock on Sunday and were supposed to get some on their truck this morning. Anyways, once we got home I read the reviews on www.babiesrus.com and they weren’t very good. I am hoping that they were just a few unhappy customers since there weren’t many reviews on there in the first place. Here are the things we got: Pack N Play --- www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2307286&cp=2255983.2256188&parentPage=family High Chair --- www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2267009&cp=2255981.2256180.2256184&parentPage=family Travel System --- www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2401288
Glad that you are starting to feel better! M/S is finally going away for good I hope! I cant wait to hear all about your next appointment and your u/s at the end of the month!!!

I also want to ask you all for prayers again.
My sister is back in the hospital for the 3rd time since having Amelia. They arent sure what is going on with her. Alittle over a week ago she was diagnosised with acidosis. And she didnt have any episodes for a whole week while she was staying with my parents, but she went home on Sunday and was back into the hospital yesterday afternoon.
Also, Quentin has a problem with his hand. He saw a Dr this morning and had an x-ray this afternoon. I dont remember what he told me was wrong, something about a tendon in his hand got inflamed and then it busted through something else and now it is causing him alot of pain. He is waiting on a referral for an orthopedic doctor and he will either have to get cordisone shots in his hand or have surgery depending on what the orthopedic doctor says.
