Not much longer

Well, we have hit the point where we are going to see the doctor every two weeks now. My thyroid has gone down a bit and I don't have diabetes, but I do have low iron. Now I have another pill I have to take. I am a pharmacy now. Lucky me. I thought this won't hit until I was a grandparent. Oh well, teach James early. Our next appointment is Nov. 2nd. We also went in for an ultrasound and everything looks great. She is growing just great. She is almost 3 pounds. She wasn't very happy either because we woke her up. She was kicking me up a storm. Not a happy baby. But good news is that we are on WIC now. That will help a lot. We were the last people there on Wednesday night. It was super quiet and the staff was cleaning when we were leaving. At least we have some stuff to get food. I will be eating it mostly but I don't think James is too upset. He seems to be handling it ok right now. We are excited for Thanksgiving. It will be our first as a married couple. I will be cooking dinner, which I am nervous about, but I am happy too. After Thanksgiving, we turn our heads to Christmas, which I will be making homemade potato soup and having bread bowls. A tradition I want to do. My mama started it a few years ago and I love it. The soup is so good. I just hope I can make it as well as she does. I guess we will see. At least I can call her and ask for help. She won't be able to be here but I think with her help and her being on the phone, I will be able to do it. This will be the first Christmas alone as a married couple. We are going to start our own traditions which I am happy about. But that is what is going on right now. Nothing really new yet. Hoping for pictures soon still. I need to get over this extra fat thing. I know, it is good fat. If I hear it one more time, I just might scream and I don't think James will be very happy about that. Anyways, I will keep you posted as time goes on.

Busy week

Well, I had a busy week last week. I have a cold and I had a fever at one point. I am fine now, just trying to get rid of this stupid cold, but good. James is still looking for a job. We had a few that we would be happy with but he took a little to long to fill out the application, not his fault though. He had to get a number to where he is working now and by the time he got that the jobs we were looking at were filled. He is still looking though. We are not going to give up any time soon. We have an appointment for an ultrasound today so we will see what happens. My next doctor's appointment is on Monday and we have an appointment for WIC on Wednesday. Very busy schedule right now. It won't slow down anytime soon, I know. But at least this I can handle. I am happy about. As long as I don't get nailed with something huge then I will be fine. I won't lose it to stress if nothing huge happens. At least right now, I am fine. Anyways, that is our life right now. We are just taking the punches that it throws at us and we are growing stronger. At least we can grow from everything happening right now. It is nice to know.

It has been a while

I know I haven't written for a while. We have been pretty busy with life and everything. I went to my appointment and everything is looking good. I am about to hit my every 2 weeks visits. I am doing ok. My pulse has gone down a lot, which is a good thing, and Lexi is doing just fine. We will be doing a couple more ultrasounds to make sure she is growing just fine and that she is doing ok, better safe then sorry says the doctor. We also talked about Lamaze classes and we found one we like. It is two classes, Friday night and all day Saturday. We just need to call them and get in the class. We will talk it out and get it done. It will help calm me down a bit about delivery and things like that. We can even walk the labor and delivery area and see what it looks like. That is pretty nice. We also have cable, internet and phones now. We are happy about that. We are connected to the world again. It took some time but we got there. James is going to a job fair on Wednesday. He is pretty happy about it. We are hoping that he gets something. It would be nice. Pray for him. Anyways, that is us right now. Hopefully now I can keep you all updated on what is going on. Someone asked about my pregnancy shots and I am not doing them until my belly is a bit bigger. Self conscience body and mind. When it gets better and bigger then I will post pics that show off my belly. Just letting you know.

We are feeling her

Yep. We are feeling Lexi move. It is really cool. I know it is a little late but she had some things to do to get through. But we can feel her kick and hit now. And boy does she kick and hit. If I am sitting wrong she will kick and hit me. If she doesn't like it, she will let me know. It is really funny too because James finally got to feel her too because everytime he would come to feel her she would stop moving. It was funny. But both of us have felt her and it is a wonderful feeling.

My mama

My mama sent this to me and it is freaking awesome. It made me smile. Watch it and listen to the music as well. You will see why.

Half Way There

Well, I have made it half way there. I am still having trouble but at least I shouldn't worry too much about a miscarry now. If my thyroid doesn't go down then I will worry again but I think it is going down. I have an appointment tomorrow, not with my doctor. She is on vacation. I will be with someone else so I don't know how I will be. We are hoping for nothing but good news with everything that has been going on.
James is still looking for a job. He is applying everywhere he can. The only problem is that he isn't getting any calls. It is really dumb. We are hoping to hear from someone asap. I emailed a former teacher of mine at the college and see if I can do tutoring in accounting there, even though I am not a student. I am just waiting to hear back from him.
That is our life in a nutshell. We are just living the best way we can at this point. Thanks for all your prayers and help. We appreciate it.

We are registered

We have finally finished registering for Lexi. We registered at Babies R Us and Wal-Mart. We got everything we could think of and on top of that more then we could think of. We are excited about her coming to be with us. I still have a long time to wait though. But at least we are registered.
