Still Here! I have been having back pain since Sunday and yesterday was very bad. I actually felt like I was getting ready to start my period. It ran from my back all the way around the front.
I woke up this morning around 6:30 and felt a little nauseous. Well I was so lucky I got to vomit again! I hate that!!! My back still hurts but not like yesterday although my belly is hurting also. This girl has got to be making her entrance soon! I think she's waiting though so Daddy will have time to spend with her. I think Thursday would be good though, that would get it soon and yet I think Mikey could survive not working for two days. I'm sure Dennis or Steve would fill in for those days. Brad still thinks that it is going to be this Saturday and he requested that I have her around 12:03 a.m. so that he is the one that got the date just right. I hope she comes before then but if not that day will work for me. I'm just hoping she's not gonna make me wait until my due date. If I make it I have a doctor appointment Thursday and it's suppose to be with Stowell. I'm gonna ask him what the plan is if I make it that long. He talked like he wouldn't let me go past my due date and I really hope he doesn't. Kind of getting tired of waiting.
One good thing though is the boys are out reading meters and as of right now I feel like I can make it today which means I can get everything closed out for the end of the month and Michelle will only have to do postings. So that will work out for us here at work also. All though she is more important that work but if I have to wait on her at least I can get that done.
That's it for now! Hope to not talk to you tomorrow.

I'm still here! I had a really bad morning though. I've been up since 4:30 cause I couldn't sleep. I felt like I was having trouble breathing and I couldn't get comfortable. I was getting up every hour to pee anyway and then I couldn't sleep at all so I just got up and went to the living room. That way I figured Mike could at least get some sleep.
Friday evening he got up and slept on the couch cause his arm was hurting. I was teasing him and said he probably slept better on the couch and he said he did. Sorry!!! I can't control my bladder.
Saturday evening I went out to eat with Dad & Mom and then we went to Target. We ended up at my house and watched another movie. Nathan & Emily came over and Nathan brought me a frosty. That was very nice of him since I called him last weekend to bring me one. No that was nice they didn't have to bring me one.
Mom said she was going to stay until Mike got home and I told her she was nuts. He doesn't' normally get home until around 2:30. I finally got them to go home around midnight. I then took me a shower and went to bed. Mike didn't get home until 2:45.
Yesterday, mom came over and we got in the pool all afternoon. Emily finally came and we talked her into getting in the pool with us. The pool felt so good on my back. I've been having back pains since Sunday morning. And floating around the pool yesterday felt really good. I think the way my back feels right now I may have to go home and do it again tonight.
Dad went and got us all pizza. It was very good. I hadn't had Pizza Express in a long time.
Well anyway, if I make it to my due date I only have 10 days to go! I'm hoping she decides to come before then though cause I am not comfortable at all anymore!
Hopefully I won't talk to you tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Papa Richard! You would have been 80 this year. I was hoping that Josie would make her debut today and share yours and Mama Scott's birthday. But as of the time I write this I still have no inclination that she is even thinking of arriving.
I'm being a little more patient today. I don't really know what has changed but now I'm thinking I would rather she wait til towards the end of next week. I just hope she does come in time that I am able to make it to Riley's birthday party.
I slept pretty good last night for a few hours but when that alarm is suppose to go off I'm already awake and I can't fall back asleep. Evidently Josie couldn't sleep either. She was very active from about 6:30 this morning til around 11:00. While I was getting ready you could see my belly move and it looked like a wave roll across it. It is such an amazing sight and feeling. I absolutely love it and it is indescribable.
I forgot that I had not posted these ultrasound pictures yet. These were taken on May 1, 2008. At this point she was in a Frank Breech position. Meaning her butt was down and her legs were up and over her head. She measured 26 weeks and 6 days.

The ultrasound on July 17, 2008 we didn't' get any pictures but you couldn't see much either. Never did see her head since she is in the down position. We got her on video though. I need to get it all burnt over to DVD but I figured I would wait until after she is here and burn that video with all of her ultrasounds.
Riley and Kayla went and rode in the tractor parade Wednesday night at the fair along with Rick & Michelle. I called Riley to see how his parade was and got some pretty good stories. He was concerned about a tractor that was in the parade that wouldn't keep running. He says him daddy told the guy he would get a chain and pull him and the guy said no. So they had to keep stopping cause that guys tractor kept dieing.
Then out of the clear blue sky he says "I get to race my 4-wheeler when I turn 5." I told him he was gonna be 5 in a couple weeks and the fair would be over. He said he knew and he got to race the 4-wheeler where the mud bog was cause they had a circle. I laughed and told him that gives him a year to practice. He said he could only practice when Daddy was home cause Mom couldn't handle it if he wrecked cause she had Kayla. I told him that was a good idea. He is too cute!
Then he called Mom at lunch cause he found a trampoline at "Nards" (Menards) that he wanted for his birthday. And he would like it to be set up for his party cause that would be fun. Well needless to say Papa Doug ordered it for him so they are going to go pick it up this weekend. I told Riley when and if he got one I wanted to come jump with him and he told me I had to wait until Josie was out of my belly. It's too bad we don't stay that innocent and comical!
Here's a picture Michelle took of the kids on the 4-wheeler this past weekend.


Well that's it for today! We'll see if I make it through the weekend. If I do I'll talk at ya Monday!

Well I'm here again! I had a doctor appointment this morning. I figured it was Weiler's turn but no I got to see Greathouse AGAIN! I really don't get how their scheduling works but if we have another child I'm going to fix that problem. It's not that I don't like her I just don't care for her and she doesn't do the internal exams so I have no idea if I've started dilating or not. I know it doesn't matter because I could dilate and stay that way for weeks but it would still be nice to know. Instead I laid in there on the stress test and she hurries in says baby looks good, measures me, asks if I have any questions and appointment over. I think that is some of why I don't care for her. I have another appointment next week and this one is with Stowell. I really hope I have her before then but I guess if I don't at least it's MY doctor I will see.
Don't get me wrong, I fully enjoy the feeling of being pregnant. Feeling Josie move and seeing her move but I am so ready to meet her and be a mom. People will call me Mom and it still doesn't sink in. I look straight through it when they say it and finish the conversation. I guess that I think they aren't talking about me or something.
I timed myself last night and I am getting up now every 1.5 hrs to pee. I thought I was going to get to sleep in this morning since my appointment wasn't until 10:15 but at 6:50 I was wide awake. I laid in bed after Mike left and watched TV for 30 minutes then I got up and got in the shower. I don't know why I can't sleep in. Now's when I need to do it cause that is most definitely going to be out of the question for quite some time.
Oh well! She'll be here before I know it. I am just thankful that I have had no problems. I could be like Amy and be stuck in the hospital until I had her. Yal she'll probably have hers before I have mine and she's due a week behind me but at least I don't have to lay in a hospital bed waiting to have her.
Well that's it for now. We'll see if I talk at ya tomorrow or not!

Well I'm still here. I think this girl is going to make us wait until my due date to meet her. Which that is only two weeks away but still, I'm ready!!!
Next week Buddy is off of work on vacation and I'm afraid of it happening then. Mike wouldn't take off work like I want him to if it was to happen then. Grandpa Richard's birthday would have been this Friday the 25th and I think that would be neat but then I would only get Mikey for the weekend cause he would want to go to work. If she decides to come before then I'm fine with it but at this point I'm kind of hoping she holds off. I really want him to be able to spend the first week with us at home and not go to work. Plus there is no race on Aug 2nd so he wouldn't miss anything there. The only problem with that date is that it is so close to Riley's birthday. Riley is worried that I won't be able to come to his birthday party. I told him we would be there if I was able to walk. Mikey said he would go either way so that ought to pacify him a little. But I don't want us to miss it either. He wants Josie to be here though so she can eat cake. I thought that was cute.
I worked on another layout yesterday and just finished it today. It's about Cameron's 1st Bday.


Well that's it for now!

Another day another dollar! Still no baby. Last night we had awful storms and I am so tired. Ever since the tree fell on the deck we are both paranoid of it happening again. That and Mike I think is being protective and makes me go downstairs if it's getting questionable. We went down twice last night. I told him if I had to go down again I was going to sleep on the floor. We need to just buy a blow up mattress and when that happens just sleep down there.
My restless legs last night were awful and then the storms and Mike had the TV on and so I watched it and I wasn't really tired. Well I'm making up for it today. I'm hoping when I hit the pillows tonight I can go straight to sleep. The last time I looked at the clock this morning I think it was 2:45.
This morning when I got up and got in the shower I started feeling pukey. Well lovely, I puked again. I have made it this whole time without actually throwing up and I've done it twice now. And it is so weird too cause you don't actually puke anything up. Kind of like you are puking up spit. Mikey had to get me a glass of water and then I puked it up. After about 5 minutes it finally went away and I could finish my shower. Mom said that she puked when she was going into labor with me. Well it didn't work last week when I threw up but maybe today it will! :-)
I done some scrapping yesterday and these are the pages I got done.




Well that's it for now! Maybe I'll talk to you tomorrow, maybe I won't!

Well I made it through the weekend and still no Josie! :-( Everyone thought the day was going to be Saturday but they were wrong. Josie didn't move very much Friday or Saturday, and I told Mike maybe she was resting up for her big day. But evidently, what do I know! :-) Sunday she was very active and so far this morning she's been moving pretty good. I think the little terd is gonna make us wait.
Saturday, Michelle, Mom and the kids came over early morning and we swam pretty much all day. Riley is getting very brave in the pool and I'm glad. He was pretty timid until Michelle put him in the swim classes at IU. They really did make a difference for a class that only lasted two weeks. Kayla just isn't' afraid so I don't' think we will have to worry about her being timid. Shes actually too brave at times.
Yesterday, it was just Mom & I in the pool. It was almost too hot to even be in the pool but I'm gonna use it as much as I can cause we've not really had a very good summer for the pool.
Mikey let Roscoe loose while he was outside and the brat took off again and Levi followed. I am so over that dog! I'm still attached to the dummy though so I have a hard time thinking of letting him go. But with a baby I'm not going to be able to deal whit him much. Our neighbor up on the top of the hill at Lawson showed up at our house around 8:50 and had the dogs. We got them home, locked up Levi and tied Roscoe back up. It will be a very long time before Roscoe is ever let loose again. They both got a wipping from Daddy when we got home. Probably have no idea why they were even in trouble. Don't' know what I'm gonna do with them all but all 3 are wearing me out! Poor Kodi can't see anything anymore but other than her eyesight and her hearing she has nothing wrong with her so I can't bring myself to put her down. But she's getting kind of annoying also because of not being able to see or hear. I don't think she's gonna be around much longer though so I'm just gonna wait her out. If she starts to get sick then I might be able to do it but right now I can't bring myself to it.
