baylie

This last week Daisy got actual Rx glasses because she cant see. Baylie, seeing Daisy wear something she didnt have, begged for a pair of glasses. At first we tried those reader glasses they sell over the counter with the lenses out of them. But that wasnt good enough. So I went to Walmart and bought her a set of frames from off the wall in the eye doctors office that have just plastic lenses...no Rx. She loves them and has been wearing them for the last 2 days solid. So I just had to take a picture.

this week

We made the trip to Denver to have Baylie's sleep study done as well as having her sleep deprived EEG done this week. Both tests went well, we should be getting the results from both in about 2 weeks.

I had my 32 week check up. Everything was fine. My bp was 113/61 baby's hb was 130. He didnt tell me the measurements but said they were right on track. My hemaglobin was low (I think because I am getting sick) so he gave me an Rx for an iron pill and an antibiotic.

Daisy's glasses came in as well. So the pics are for your enjoyment!

from a distance they aren't bad, but we didnt have many options to pick from.

Close up.

Up coming events

Well this next week we will attempt to go back to Denver, the trip was cancelled last week because Baylie got sick the day before (bronchitis and and upper resp. infection). I have held her back from school to get her healthy again, but she will return to her normal classes after the appt in Denver. I will also be scheduling a sleep deprived eeg for her in the next day or so. Her teachers and I think she is having seizures (absence seizures) so the first step to knowing is to have this eeg thing done and then a trip to the neurologist.




(remember the ugly red boppy pillow from a couple weeks ago? Not any more! And she has a matching blanket to go with it!)

On Sunday we will be down to just 60 days left before baby girl gets here. Last night (after months of debate) James and I finally agreed on two girl names for her. Both fit her personality so far, we will just have to see which one fits her face when she gets here. But we decided not to let anyone in on the names becuase people tend to offend or offer advise that is not always welcome. I promise you that the baby to come is NOT your old bosses dog that growled at you everytime you came over NOR is she that girl you knew in 2nd grade that beat you up took your lunch money and threw up on your shoe. She will be her own person no matter the name we give her. And on that happy note folks TTFN!

30 weeks

We had our 30 week check today, I drank the nasty stuff. They did an ultrasound. Baby looked good. SHE measures a week ahead and a pound more than she should, but my due date is the same as before May 20, just means we have a big girl on our hands. Just like her sisters. We are not going to reveal her name until she is born, but we have several that we are throwing around. I would post some ultra sound pictures, but we didnt get many good ones as she had both fists (in fighting position) in front of her face AND the placenta is blocking the view too. But other than that everything looked good. Baby's hb was 145 my bp was 110/60. So an uneventful yet productive appt.

Pictures from the weekend

I am now officially in high nesting mode. (Much to the dislike of my husband and ob lol.) This weekend James had 3 days off so we worked! I rearranged our bedroom to be baby friendly, as the baby will spend the first 3 or so months in there with us.

James and the baby will be sharing the dresser, as you can see a changing station set up!

Next, I got my bassinet in! YAY! I just had to put it together, so this pic was taken in our living room right after I finished. You can't tell it from the picture but the fabric is actually light weight sage green and white gingham, and the wheels flip up to make a cradle.

Here's the baby's corner in our bedroom, the ugly red boppy nursing pillow is going to get a make over with some very soft green turtle fabric.

Daisy and the baby's room almost done! I am missing a changing table (because I dont have one yet!) The glider chair in our bedroom will get moved in right between the two beds when the baby moves into the room.

A picture of the baby's crib with the horse bedding we got...I LOVE it!!

This is a hair clip keeper I hand made for Baylie! I am working at trying to find a D for Daisy as well, but I haven't been able to make it to the craft store.

There is a story to these two pictures!


These two pieces of trim ( the one over the light switch and the one little one in the corner) took me 4 years of nagging James to get done!! But finally after 4 years he finally finished!!!! He also finished the trim work in the hall way (after a year) and in Daisy's room, but thats only been about a week. lol.

Which brings us to the belly shot for the week. This is 29 weeks 4 days and that is ALL baby hangin out there up front, she take up LOTS of room as she is big and very tall. We will find out on Friday what she is (if she is she or if she really is a he) but I wont be telling anyone but James, so I will continue to refer to the baby as "SHE" even if baby really is a "HE".

The week ahead...

Well this week has been relatively normal for us, but next week is going to be PACKED! Baylie will have school on Monday, and it will be the first time she will ever bring birthday treats with her to share with her class. (I am making confetti cupcakes) Tuesday is her actual birthday, I cannot believe that my baby is going to be 4!!! Holy cow where did that time go?! But alas, most of Tuesday will be spent in the car...or rather the new mini-van, on the way to Denver. Baylie has a sleep study scheduled for that night...so happy birthday to her. We will come home Wednesday sometime. Thursday is just a regular school and errand day for us. Friday I have a doctors appt. I have to drink the nasty orange glucola and have my blood drawn-YUCK! But, because my ob is awesome, as a reward for drinking and bleeding he is giving me an ultrasound! So, I get to see baby one last time before due day! My appts have started being every other week now. Luckily, Kayla (our wonderful on call babysitter) will be taking the girls that day so I dont have to try to juggle kids and a lab and the sonogram room!

28 weeks 5 days

going to blow out the candles!

We are still on the quest to find out whats going on in Baylie's head. Her school called today with concerns about her possibly having seizures. This is a concern I've had for sometime but never voiced, so it was startling to hear it from her special education teacher today in Wal-Mart. With that being said, I am waiting on paper work from the Developmental Dept. in Denver to get her re-evaluated and now I will be looking for a pedi. that is willing to give her a referral to go see the neurologist at the Children's Hospital as her teachers and I believe she needs to be seen by one. I will keep you all updated as best I can about all of these things!

after everything was opened

TTFN!
