35 Week Appt.

Yesterday evening I had my 35 week check up appt. Besides getting forgotten about in the room, or I guess you could say, "misplaced", everything went great ;) My poor dr. felt so bad, but it was pretty funny! I hadn't gained any weight, my BP was 120/80, C's heartrate was good, but she didn't tell me the number (too busy laughing about "losing" me) :), and I am measuring right on track still. She also checked me and I'm not dialated. It was sort of surprising to me given all the contractions I have been having, but she said it is a good thing :) I go back next Tues. three more appts. w/ her at the most and one w/ the specialist in 2 weeks! I really am hoping to make it 'til the 24th b/c that would work out best w/ my maternity leave and my mom being off for the summer the week I go back to work... but I guess we will see if Mr. C decides to come out before then or not... if he does, I'm sure I'll be ready then too :)


28 more days!

35 Week Belly Picture

35 Weeks
Wow.
I don't feel like I can get any bigger.
I know I probably will though!
Yikes!

Weekend

Friday night, my cousin and his wife brought over homemade pizza and chocolate chip cookies- YUM! lol. We got to visit with them and their little girl, Kaydee Mae. She is just getting so big already, I can't believe she is almost 4 mo. old. They didn't stay too long and we just rested the rest of the evening.
Saturday, Ryan and B went to Wal-Mart and I did some laundry and hung out while they were gone. We didn't do much all day really.
he wouldn't put his gun down to smile for me lol
and then we had to do a "fighter" one. lol he cracks me up. he said he was "guarding" our house :)
I went to visit Vanessa and baby Zane for a little bit.
me w/ my bff's two boys, Tyler and Zane
Zane.
He slept the whole time I held him.
He just seemed so tiny!



That evening Rich and Melissa and their two boys came over and we ate pizza again... this time Papa John's lol. We all just visited and had a good time. We hadn't saw them in a long while so it was nice to catch up! We were so busy catching up I didn't take any pictures!



Yesterday we were just around the house and then went to my parents to watch the Colt's Game. My aunt and uncle and cousin's came over to watch the game and then we all ate chili for supper (and dirt pudding for dessert!) :) It was a fun afternoon/evening.


My happy boy!

He always loves to watch football and has always said he wants to play. Well, he asked Ryan, "Daddy is football real?"... Ryan didn't know where he was going w/ this, but said, "yes." Well, B said, "I don't think I will be able to play then b/c they hold you down". It was funny, but kind of sad too! You just have to know B, he HATES being held down, even if it is an accident or just an arm or leg, he FREAKS. I thought it was amazing that he had even thought about them holding you down in football... he's right, he wouldn't like that at all!



he said this is his face to scare away the other players ;)



Kayla and Kaydee Mae (in her cute little colt's cheer outfit).
I asked B to sit beside her so I could take their picture together in their Colt's outfits and his response was "I don't go near girl babies" lol. Seriously, glad Corbin is a boy!
We got home last night and I took a bath and got B his bath and TRIED to go to bed... but I couldn't sleep :( I am as big as an elephant and just can't seem to get (or stay) comfortable.
30 more days at the most!!!
I think he has dropped even more b/c today I can't keep my jeans from slipping down- yikes! My belly looks like it could touch the ground!
I'm going to have Ryan take another belly picture tonight so ya'll can see for yourselves!

No Pictures

I haven't been so hot at taking pictures lately... but I still want to update on what we've been doing... just for my own sake. I do enjoy keeping this "journal" of sorts... so this post might be pretty boring and feel free to skip it!





Friday night John and Sonya and their kids came to visit. She brought chili and a cake and we had supper and just hung out. The kids played (they play really well together) and we watched parts of American Idol from the week, crack me up!!





Saturday morning Ryan went to Wal-Mart for us and then came home and did some stuff outside (burnt boxes, cleaned in garage, etc). We also got all the kitchen cabinets cleaned out and reoranized. Since getting our island we have a lot more storage space, but it was wasted b/c I didn't really know what I wanted to do with it. Well, it is the perfect places for some of my tupperware and all C's bottles/feeding supplies! I'm pumped to have all that done! Who doesn't love a little organization anyway?! I also cleaned the fridge out- that always makes me feel better too! lol. I had been putting it off. Did I ever post pictures of the kitchen? I know parts of it were in pictures probably from B's party... I really should get on that! I need to post some before and after pictures b/c Ryan really did a great job in working with what we have to create a whole new kitchen! Saturday evening we went to my parents best friends/neighbors to watch the Colt's game. It was a late evening, but relaxing to sit around with people ya love! B spent the night at my parents so he could go to church with them Sunday morning. I missed him as soon as we got in the car, even thought it was bedtime.




Sunday afternoon Ryan's parents came to visit for awhile. We didn't do anything that evening... just rested and enjoyed being together just the three of us.. I really was enjoying the fact that I didn't have to work again on Monday due to Martin Luther King Day.



Monday B and I did NOTHING all day. Well, I did laundry, but otherwise we just sat around and played and hung out together. It was a niceeee break. Usually even on my day off I'm rushing around trying to get things done. My grandma had cleaned for me on Friday though so I didn't need to do that. She is spoiling me! And Ryan is doing the Wal-Mart shopping so my responsibilities are a lot less right now. I can't say that I mind it either! It is giving me more time to focus on just playing with B and enjoying this time w/ him before C comes. Ryan didn't get home from work 'til pretty late Monday evening so we just had a quick supper and hung out- him and B watched "surf's up".



Yesterday I went to work and was super busy all day. I love being busy at work. Ryan and B picked me up at quarter 'til four and we left for my appt. Our friends, The Hamilton's, who live in Owensboro were in Evansville and wanted to hang out w/ B while Ryan and I went to the dr. so we dropped him off with them to have some fun and went to my appt. I was in and out at the dr. and we picked B up and then had supper at Fazzoli's. We didn't get home 'til it was pretty well time to get ready for bed.



Today B and I are just hanging out at home. It looks so nasty out and I'm glad we don't have anywhere to go. I really am such a homebody! I am so ready for spring and nice weather. I am thankful I'll be off during the spring instead of winter (well mostly) so that me and B and enjoy the weather instead of being stuck inside. I am already dreading going back to work and I'm not even off yet (although, don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for a wonderful job that I do enjoy).



My BFF Vanessa had Zane last night. Zane Maddux Ray DeCoursey finally made his appearance at 9:13pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 2oz and was 21 inches long. From the pictures he looks just like his big brother Tyler and his daddy Clint. I can't wait to meet him in person! It def. makes me more anxious for C to get here since we've been pregnant together this whole time!



Well, that's my boring update, but I feel better having it done! Hopefully, I'll do better on taking pictures!

34 Week Appt.

I had my 34 week check up today. Not much news to report on b/c everything is going SO GOOD. I had gained another pound so that puts me at 20 (YIKES). My BP was 100/60 and C's heartrate was 138. I go back in another week. She said she will probably start checking my cervix at 36 wks just to see what is going on if she doesn't need to next week. I have started having more "crampy" contractions, but never more than 5 in an hour. I can tell it's not "real labor", but my body does seem to be gearing up more and more.




My BFF Vanessa is having her baby boy today! She was induced last night and I just got a text from her that it is FINALLY time to push! He has been stubborn all day! I am sooo excited :)

34 Week Belly Picture

34 Weeks.
He def. looks lower to me this week.
Maybe that's why he feels like he might fall out. haha!
I am so grateful to be 34 weeks and 1 day pregnant AND healthy with a kicking, squirming, punching baby in my belly!
I am grateful that I had no sleep last night because Corbin decided not to sleep and I couldn't get comfortable.
Last year at 34 weeks and 1 day we met our angel baby Andon.
So feeling C today kicking and squirming gives me comfort.
The next few weeks really just can't get here soon enough for me.
I can't wait to meet this little guy.
But for now, I'm happy to still be pregnant and healthy!
Thank you God for hearing our prayers.
