She's Here and I'm Back

Here's some pics of her first few days:

I'll post more later. I'm still in the process of getting everything caught up and also the feeling of wanting to be at work.

I have never NOT wanted to do something so much in my life. I want to hit rewind so bad on the last 6 weeks. Not on her growing up but me being able to be off of work. It sucks that we aren't in the early days where the mothers were expected to stay home and take care of their children. I so much want to be able to do this. I keep trying to talk Mike into selling everything and moving to a trailer so that I can stay home. He's not going for it so I guess I will keep on working!

Well here we are again!
My appointment is tomorrow and I'm really hoping I find something out! I told Mom this morning I think she has decided that she is comfy and she's not leaving.
I created a ticker for this blog today and it says I only have 8 days left. Wouldn't that be nice if that were true. Could be but maybe not!
I also created a playlist for the blog. I didn't know there was a song that was "Josie." I even knew the song when it played but didn't realize that was what they were saying. Stuff like these playlists annoy me when I go to a site that has one but I had to make one for me cause I love music! Josie will most definitely have a wide range of music that she will be exposed to. I like everything but opera. I can listen to it but not my choice. And Mikey likes the heavier stuff. I like the music of the heavier stuff but I can't stand the screaming and not understanding what they are saying. That and the cussing! I mean come on can you not get your point across without saying the "F" word every other word. I do believe you can! Sound like a prude don't I?
Well that's it for now! We'll see if you get another day out of me! :-)

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!
