Been so busy and frankly, I often forget about LJ when I have facebook,xanga and myspace to blog on.


I'll try to work on updating here more.

30 weeks pregnant, about 8 to go! Time flies!!!!!!

Avery Claire is kicking up a storm non-stop now and makes me very tired...I'm loving it though.

Summarized Update:
*We moved to Fort Worth, TX
*FInally in a house, no more apartments!
*Been on bedrest off and on.
*Took up knitting
*Got a new car (my mommy mobile)


Here's a few pictures then I'm off to head home.



29 weeks!

The ladies and I from my 2nd shower

So much has been going on I barely have time to rest let alone update you guys and dolls.

this will be summarized due to me being at work, sorry.

Evan:
Doing great, working his butt off and possibly taking a semester off to figure out what exactly he wants to do in life. With the baby coming he's kind of re-focusing his priorities and more motivated to get done with school ASAP.

Home:
Our lease is up August 31st and we were in the process of renting a home but it turns out we can actually BUY a home and pay less then rent over a mortgage plan with the realtor. This has been my number 1 stress these days since well, I'm the only one doing the looking, the planning and the meetings. Ugh. We need something soon though or we might be homesless.
NO MI GUSTA!

Baby:

Well, we found out July 23rd that we are having a....... GIRL!

Avery Claire Hartfield.

She should be here the week of Christmas according to my doctor because I am having a complication with the placenta and she has told me she will probably only let me go to 38wks. Sooo...that's what's going on with that. I was on Bedrest 2 weeks ago fighting a bad infection but we're doing better now. The complication doesn't effect Avery, she is doing wonderful and is already 2cm longer then most at this gestation period (she's all legs) but it will effect me and complicate my labor so my doctor said I'd more than likely be induced and have to have a c-section if this doesn't correct itself.

Avery is kicking more although it's still light. She had the hiccups yesterday and Evan could actually see my belly move, he was so enamored with it he freaked out in subway watching my belly move. I don't know what's cooler, what she's doing to me or his reactions. haha.

Not enough energy to blog about everything that has transpired the past 3 days.

Lots of family-time. With family we don't see enough.

Lots of food. Food that was too good and will make me gain all my weight back.

Lots of laughs. Laughs are good.

Naps. oh yes, naps!

Hot weather. Ugh. yeah.

GOOD TIMES.

Today after saying bye to Holly, Brent, Ari and Ant(Who have grown up sooooo mcuh!); Nan and I went shopping I thought for both of us but we ended up at motherhood maternity for an hour and half as I tried on a million outfits as Nan "ohhhhh'd" and "awwwwwwed" over all the maternity cloths and looked in envy at how cool maternity clothes are now compared to when she was prego. Yeah her and Gary pretty much bought me a new wardrobe, I kid you not, I am set until like November!

I even got talked into buying a cute dress. DRESS PEOPLE. I hardly wear dresses. Evan loves it, as well as my new Bra size. *rolls eyes* I wasn't allowed to know the end price for all my treasures and am still shocked that Nan bought so much for me. I know, I need to get over it and allow people to spoil me every once and awhile but seriously?! A whole new wardrobe!?!?!?!

So yeah, we went to a few other places and Nan promised we were going back tomorrow to shop for HER! (She better!) We also ate dinner at Black eyed pea and had some deep conversations followed by "wind therapy" in the miata through the country.

Evan leaves tomorrow.
He'll be back on the 11th. A whole week all to myself to pack boxes, clean and try to unwind and not miss him like crazy, we'll see how this week goes, we hardly spend too much time away from each other so....*crosses fingers*

*Sigh* time for bed lovies, I am pooped!

We have a video with 2 minutes of our baby having the hiccups and growing annoyed with them. The baby is doing perfect and my due date is now January 3rd so we're in the 2nd trimester!!!!

We go back on the 23rd of July to find out if we're team blue or pink.

Very long legs and long fingers already, loves to suck their thumb and the best part of the whole sonogram (besides laughing at the baby losing it's thumb from the hiccups and trying to find it again) is the baby has Evans profile! I mean, it's so insane the same forehead and the same nose and lips, the tech froze the frame and there was every detail and it was sooooo EVAN!

He's so excited about that!

We're still feeling a boy and to be honest I think I would become a bit upset if it was a girl now.

Heartbeat was the sweetest sound I have heard in a VERY long time.

With a week we have had it was nice to have some happiness.

I'll try to post a recent belly shot here: @ 12wks4ds on June 25, 2008

Okay LJ, round 3.

Don't disappoint me.


to all my friends, I apologize for yet again having to make a new account, I'll stick with this one I promise.
