On Thursday James had his first doctors’ appointments. The first one was at the hospital. At birth he had failed his hearing test in his left ear. The lady reassured me that it was common and in two weeks to bring him back to get it retested. She said that the reason behind why many babies fail it is because there is still fluid in the ear that isn ( Read more... )

At least that is the order that things happened. On Thursday, May 11th I went to get one of my post dates non-stress test done. Tom, John’s Step-Dad, took me since John was busy. He dropped me off and watched Kailee. I really didn’t think that Kailee could sit still or quietly for that amount of time. Luckily he was happy to take her. I was hooked ( Read more... )

Today is my due date and it goes without saying that I have yet to have my little guy. Baby is still doing fine. I am 3 cm dialated and 80% effaced. I didn’t have to bring up the topic of induction, the doctor did that. He gave me the option of being induced on Thursday or Monday. I told him that Thursday was very tempting but that Kailee had her ( Read more... )

This morning when I got up the baby didn’t do his normal kicks. I thought it was a little odd but didn’t think too much about it. That is his usual way of telling me that he is hungry. I ate breakfast and still no movement. By this time I was worried. He always kicks first thing in the morning even if it is just a little bit. After I eat he goes ( Read more... )

All has been going smoothly that is unless you want to count the constant back ache, headaches and not sleeping due to my huge belly. Other than that things are going alright. Not much to report on. I am still pregnant and getting more miserable by the day. My due date is on Monday. I never made it this far with Kailee. Truthfully I didn’t thing I ( Read more... )

Last Wednesday I had something funny happen that I have to share. John had taken Kailee for the second day in a row to finish her kindergarden registration. He had dropped me off at the library before going so that I could get on the computer to check my mail. It was almost a full month since I had internet access and I didn’t want my email ( Read more... )

Salem's Lot by Stephen King ( Read more... )

I had wanted to write more throughout my whole pregnancy but haven't gotten around to it. Other than the breathing problems and migraines that I had in the beginning, it has been pretty uneventful. Normal aches and pains but smooth sailing. But I figured I would take the time now to write a little bit ( Read more... )

Tonight I was to have dinner with the other moms from our playgroup for a book club meet. Though we only talk about the book briefly. It is more to get out of the house and have a moms' night out more than anything. I had picked February's book, Salem's Lot by Stephen King. I will write my review later. Only myself and one other lady read it. A ( Read more... )

We finally got our one for the thumb! Yeah baby! We had to wait 26 years but what a game it was. A lot of records were broken ( Read more... )
