Boy Clothes Sizes Newborn - 3T

I'm having a yard sale this Friday and Saturday. I have tons of cute name brand boy clothes and I know my friend Tiffany Smith is going to have some girl clothes. I also have a crib w/ mattress, changing table, strollers w/ car seats, all kinds of baby boy stuff (blankets, bibs, etc.), kitchen table and chairs, computer desk, two bookshelves, adult clothes of all sizes, and much more. So if you would be interested in coming and do not know where I live, just email me and I will give you directions.

Update on Me and Ivy

WHEW! What a weekend! Thursday I woke up at 7 having pains that kinda felt like contractions but I really didn't think they were. They were really sharp and coming every 2 to 5 minutes. I finally got through to my doctor's nurse and she got me in to see the nurse practitioner at 1:30. She checked me and said my cervix was good and thick and closed. So I wasn't in preterm labor. That was great news so I really didn't think about how much pain I was in until we got back home. So I called and my doctor had me admitted in to OB and they put the monitor on and nothing was registering as contractions, which I knew it wouldn't. They couldn't really figure out what was going on. They said it could be round ligament pains and gave me some pain medicine and sent me home. Friday was a little better. I was still having the pains but they weren't regular or as intense, and Saturday I hardly had any at all. I feel really good today and we are going for my check up and another ultrasound tomorrow, so maybe my doctor can figure out what went on. As for Ivy, she was kicking all night on the monitor. The nurses were amazed at how active she was! Alan kept hearing her kick and roll around and was like WOW! Now he knows why she keeps me up all night! LOL!

So Alan and Ben have decided.....

To name our baby girl Ivy! Elizabeth is still up in the air. Alan likes Ivy Addison too. But Alan has been feeling her kick and talking to her calling her Ivy and Ben will kiss my belly and say Ivy! How sweet. I'm happy with it. It is definatly growing on me. Thanks to everyone who voted and helped us decide.

Babysitter?

I'm looking for someone who would be interested in watching my cousin's baby boy Lake. I have been watching him, but I'm not going to be able to anymore. My cousin Tiffany is looking for someone who would watch him in their home. She doesn't really want to take him to a big daycare. He is almost 4 months old and a very sweet rolly polly baby. If you would be interested or know someone who might, just leave a comment! Thanks!

Ok, so I feel like I've really popped out this week. I'm 21 weeks today.

Bad Dreams

I don't know if this is normal but with this pregnancy I have been having the most awful dreams I have EVER had! When I was preggo with Ben I had good dreams except for the occasional dream that Alan was leaving me because I was too fat (lol). I still have those dreams but they are much worse, and I'm having scary dreams about dead babies, people coming after me trying to kill me, all kind of things! They seem sooooooo real and I can't shake them for the rest of the day. I know this is affecting my sleep because I am so tired these days. I know some of you know that I have been having a hard time emotionally with this pregnancy. I feel like I'm going NUTS! I just don't feel like myself and I think these dreams are connected to that. Do you guys know of any way I can stop these dreams?

Helpful Scriptures

Just thought I would post some scriptures that help me get through life in general. I think I will start posting a few everyweek. I hope they may help someone else through a difficult time.


Heb 13:5 KJV- Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Col 3:2 KJV- Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
