Snow!!!I said i was going to get up and do something...but instead i was catching up on blogs and decided i should post one! I had such great CVS deals to post about...but, i never did. I'll probablly post them later (once i find the reciepts b/c i absolutely won't remember what i payed for things)...
Yup, the bun is still in the oven. Tuesday made 38 weeks - the end is so near! Not that it really feels that way though. Tomorrow is my clinic appt, maybe something will be going on. My NST & sono were good yesterday. Lexy weighs 6 lbs 10 oz. I think she's going to be smaller than we expected. I...
They were yum! I wish i could have chopped the meat really thin, like restaurants - but i don't have a food processor. So they were thicker pieces, but still delish!...
for my black beans!they were delicious - i mean, manny only had 3 servings ;) they were worth the onions burning my eyes :D manny says between the breadsticks last night & the beans tonight, i'm setting the expectation bar really high for yummy-O dinners like this way more often. we'll see LOL ;-)we...

i had full intentions of posting how dinner came out last night with my homemade breadsticks - but the printer wasn't working to pull my pictures off of the memory card and once the printer was working i had full intentions of staying on the sofa!it must be pregnancy, b/c unlike before i was preggers,...

WEEK 36!
36 weeks preggo! It's the final stretch :)
I had my doctor appt yesterday - they did an internal exam & took blood. My cervix is still closed - lexy is snug as a bug in there for the time being. Oh, and at my last sono Lexy weighed 5lbs & 13 ozs! I'm now going to weekly ob appts and...
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our family and friends! We love you all and miss those that can't be near us today!
Manny & i enjoyed a nice dinner of turkey, gravy, mashed 'tatos, deviled eggs, corn, green beans, rolls, yams w/marshmellows, & cake! Now comes the horrible cleaning part ;)
I...
About being thankful and giving.
We may all have hard times but there is always someone out there that has it worse.
I have SO much to be thankful for this season. I have my amazingly wonderful husband who will do anything in the world for me. I have my beautiful daughter that will be making...
Lexy got a swing tonight :)
I got it from a very nice thrift shop close to here.
It's the Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing - it's in great condition and a really good price. We payed $64 for it and it goes for about $150 in stores.
It's really cool b/c it has nature sounds and music, a mobile, and...
Lexy is 100% a confirmed GIRL! Now i can finally wash the rest of her clothes! She's healthy, happy, a big mover/kicker, and weighs 5 lbs 4 oz. And has cute chubby cheeks that everyone is going to want to eat up!
And i guess my NST looked good enough today that the doc who overlooks them says i...
Lexy is good! She wasn't moving a whole lot for about 1 day & a half, but she came back around and has been kicking good once again. And squishing what feels like most of her body across my stomach (so very uncomfy! which is why she does it, so manny says LOL). We tryed getting her on video tonight,...
Week 32
Week 33
I had a blah, busy day at the hospital yesterday. I was stuck there for almost 5 hours! I'm now going for 2x weekly NST.
Lexy decided she didn't want to participate in her NST yesterday - she wanted to just move around and make it hard to trace. And then she had a horrible case...
My beautiful baby girl is finally kicking so hard you can see it just by watching my belly :) I was laying in bed last night, just bonding with her. I'd rub part of my belly then wait for the big kick off to start ;) I don't think i've enjoyed this pregnancy as much as i should have. I think it took...
Fall, Family, & Halloween...Oh, my!

It's officially the first day of November!! And no better way to start my favorite month of the year than with an extra hour of sleep :)
Lately, i feel i'm so scatterbrained and torn between work and doc appts to do much of anything. I should really ask Old Navy to cut my hours, i just haven't...
I'm too busy being tired & blah from working and being preggo to do stuff i really should do, like clean, cook and update the blog!
So i'll try to make this a good one :)
First off - my last clinic appt with the OB was on Thursday. It went well. I lost 2 lbs, so i'm down to 217. The doc &...
Yep, from now on i will be at the hospital once a week. The joys of pregnancy.... < i'm being sarcastic, i think it's a miracle how a body can create and nurture a baby and i'm especially glad mine can!
This pregnancy has been so different than what i had always dreamed about. But, i guess that's...
Happy Birthday to Tobes - he's the big TWO years old :D
I can't believe how fast time flies...it feels like we were just bringing him home!
And sorry for the lack of belly pictures!
Here's week 26!
Next week i'll start my THIRD trimester! Can you believe it?! Cuz i can't ;)
P.S...
And i can't forget - it's officially the first day of my favorite season!!!
& only 2 days until Toby turns the big TWO years old :)
Wonderful cool weather, pretty leaf colors, just the perfect crisp time of the year!
Before we know it, it'll be halloween then thanksgiving, then christmas, and...
This is only the gender neutral items! LOL, i didn't realize i really had that much stuff stored everywhere :)It's 4 loads of laundry and thats not counting the bedding i still have to wash.
But i can't wait to put away all the tiny adorable things :)
I'm in my last week of the 2nd trimester - and for being this far, i generally feel pretty good. I tire easily and my feet swell sometimes, but i don't have too many big complaints. And my appetite is starting to pick up!
The room is all set up, furniture wise. It looks really good - i'll take pics soon and post them, i just need to pick up a little. Now, i just need to organize and find homes for everything and decorate with pictures and such.
It's going to be a great nursery when we're done.
Only 98 days to go...can you believe it?!
Nothing beats this time of the year! My room smells delicously like pumpkin spice, i have the exchange holiday catalog here & i'm catching up on all my fave shows that came back - it just doesn't get much better. Unless manny was here with me :)
He's on a duty-drive run right now but should be...
I'm not usually crafty - not that i don't want to be, i just am not usually great at it.
Well, i love these glass coasters Arisbel gave us - i just never got around to putting pictures in them. I mean, who really has pictures that will work that small? I decided today i was tired of looking at them...

Ms Jezabel found a new purpose for the basket from the baby shower.
She's now peacefully napping in it ontop of the kitchen table, safe away from toby :)
So, big news! The baby started kicking a few days ago!!! Manny & i were laying in bed watching tv and i felt was i call a flutter in my stomach....
Here's "the belly" picture of week 23. I'm officially out of regular pants and into maternity pants. Luckily my regular shirts are still working good, for the moment.
We got the crib in the mail yesterday - i'm itching to put it together, but first we have to empty out the baby's room, paint...
I had my regular OB checkup today. It was actually one of the best ones, i really feel like the pregnancy is going on a good track now! My blood pressure looked good, even though i still need to take the medicine. My urine and blood tests came back normal. As far as my sono, she said the good news is...
So manny and i went out to the city last night for a show at Webster Hall (the club/concert venue that manny's brother works at). Well he so nicely and awesomely got us in to the show and upstairs in the balcony so i wouldn't get pushed around.
The show was AWESOME. The opening band was Parachute &...
We had our ultrasound today!
It was absolutely amazing :) It made everything seem REAL! It's so reassuring now, and i feel like i have a baby growing inside me instead of just thinking i'm pregnant lol.
I haven't felt the baby move yet - but boy does it move!!!
But first - everyone wants to know...
So, if any one is curious on what we're thinking about for the babys room then here's some ideas :D
Manny & i were walking around Ikea last night and found some really cute baby room stuff!
Here's the 2 duvets we really liked - and the blue elephant one also comes in pink.
We also found...
So yesterday was my 1st high risk OB appt, and it wasn't much different than the others. I saw the same nurse practioner that i saw my very first time at the hospital. She thinks that some of my high blood pressure might have to do with the machines, so from now on, i'll ask for a manual reading. Yesterday...
This is for ya'll North Carolinians at heart...You know you're from NC if:
1. You've gotten used to the smell of cow manure on a car trip to Raleigh.
2. Saying "y'all" isn't just a cute expression; it actually means something.
3. There are big labrador retrievers in the back of every truck.
4. You...
17 weeks.
So i had my o/b appt today to discuss the results of some testing i had done.
My glucose test came back negative - no diabetes!
And my quad screen genetic test came back normal as well :)
However, the doctors are putting me in the high risk clinic to keep an eye on things. Since my previous...
I think i'm going to combine the 2 blogs - and put family & baby all this one.
So - update on baby villa.
I went to my appt a few weeks ago at NUMC (the hospital here). Luckily, it wasn't as bad as i expected - most people seem friendly and nice. And it's clean. Hopefully, my opinion will stay...
Since dinner is delayed b/c manny is running to the store for cheese since i didn't realize we were out of..i guess i'll post an update :)
Lets see...
Jezzy had her cast replaced last week and it went well. She goes in again next thursday for another cast change. Then she'll just have 6 more weeks,...
