On the move...

Well Jonah is now crawling! And has two new teeth. He sure changes fast.

Here I am with my new iPhone 4s

And I can now post on the go! It's time to get this blog back on track! Jonah is 7 months now! And all over the place already. He is so close to crawling that every day I wonder if this will be the day. Not crawling does not seem to slow him down at all. He is 23 pounds and wearing size 4 diapers. His clothes are 12 to 18 months. We spent the weekend with Selena going to the pumpkin patch and carving pumpkins . It was a much needed break from work for me that I desperately needed. Now back to editing! And taking care of my most amazing kids!

wow 36 weeks!

Well here I am ... my how far weve come. Its a huge deal for us .. and what a glorious thing to have a huge belly.   The count down is on ... doc told me today that Jonah will be here March 22nd ... unless I become preeclaimtic then it will be March 16th. Today my bp was 148/89 and i gained 13 pounds ... holy crap! I am done with this gaining weight business! I was doing so good for so long .. but now I am really retaining water ... and I ate way too many girl scout cookies lately ... bad bad. Almost done!

Ive been extreamly ill with a nasty cold I got from Malia ... thats the hard part about being a mommy ... when your the one wiping snotty noses and getting coughed on .. the odds of getting sick go way up. So I got it .. Ive had a fever for two weeks and so sick. Its been hard not to be able to take meds. Doc put me on antibiotics ... think he wants me ready for birth soon with no virus in my system.

34 Weeks!

This week we had a nst, ultrasound and doc appointment. We found out Jonah is now 5 pounds and 2 ounces. He has hair on his head. I feel fricken huge! Malia has been super sick .. and im super nauseous again.

33 Weeks!

Its been busy busy! I am finally over my cold .. I can see i was way sicker than I knew .. because i feel a lot better! Im feeling pretty darn huge. Its a trip being this far along and experiencing all the joys of the third trimester. I have been cleaning out drawers like a mad woman. Even though I need to get Jonah's room ready .. I somehow focus on the bathroom and kitchen .. but its all on the to do list so it all needs to be done. I love nesting .. its a wonderful part of pregnancy. I put new photos up in the living room and we are re doing our bathroom next weekend ... with is beyond needed. It was the one room to get little attention when we moved in. So here we go. We are still figuring out the crib situation. We got a really cheap set with Malia and it is a one kid set .. hopefully Morgan can fix it but its almost not worth it. I also want a comfortable chair to get away from it all in Jonah's room ... so we are on the search. I just ended up with a last minute wedding to edit which was not the plan.

This week we celebrated Morgan's 32nd birthday ... he's so young! Malia and I took him to Mazzottiis for dinner then out for ice cream. Then Friday we celebrated with his parents and ate yummy cake. I was really tired because I worked my ass off to prepare the house for my best friend to arrive from Oakland. Selena arrived around 10:30 and its been such a fun weekend. We talk talk talk and talk more. Malia asks "when are you guys going to stop talking"? I said in two days and not a minute sooner! Selena and I went out for sushi then the store and selena made us a real meal ... pork chops, rice and asparagus ... it was delicious!

My doc appointment last week was good ... ass is well. Except the scale wasn't working and I had to go to another scale and it showed a 7 pound gain .. I cried and cried ... I told the doc I dont want to gain any more weight and he said ... well you probably will .. ugh.  I wouldn't care if I was thin to begin with but im not so every pound sucks! I will just hope it all falls off after Jonah comes.

32 Weeks!

Since my last post my mama came for my baby shower. My baby shower was really great. It was beyond fantastic to see so many friends giving us love and support as we celebrate baby number two! Most of the people there were witnesses to Malia's fight and struggle for life. So they all could really celebrate this pregnancy continuing with me. We got so many amazing gifts. Wow boy was that helpful! I was short changed out of Malia's baby shower so this was my first and last official one. And it was a lot of fun! I was not taking photos ... so I dont have anything to share :( but I lived it and have great memories. Last Monday I had my non stress test and baby did great. Then Tuesday we had our 32 week ultrasound and baby boy slept through it and had his hand up in his face. I even drank juice and ate before to ensure he would be awake .. but no ... nap time. But we did find out he is 4 pounds and 2 ounces ... which is so amazing to me. Ive never had such a big baby! I cant wait to have a normal experience. Although lets not count our chickens before they hatch :)

Then Thursday i had my weekly doc appointment and all is well. He couldn't find the heart beat which was weired being he is usually really easy. So I had to go back in the ultrasound room and she recorded the heart beat .. she said he was really far back in my back.

Still not much progress getting ready for this baby. I caught a cold and its really been kicking my butt. I can feel a major switch of me slowing down. But thank goodness he wont be here with in the next week. So hopefully i will get more done this week. It is super hard with Malia and her busy school schedule. Its amazing how much time her school activities take. And this is a busy week ahead!

In one more day I am 33 weeks! Yay!

We told the grand parents the babies name ... so i can officially refer to him with his name and not "baby boy"

The name is:

Jonah Michael Abraham Tully

31 1/2 Weeks!

Today I did my first non stress test. I went to the hospital after I dropped Malia off at school and was monitored for about an hour and a half. They were looking for baby boys heart rate to spike three times in a 20 minute period coenciding with movement. He passed perfectly ... and it was nice to listen to him. He is so active and feels really healthy. I am so greatful! The nurse was awesome .. she sat with me the whole time chatting. I wanted to know what to expect with a a normal c section. And she told me the play by play and boy is that different from what I went through with Malia. It will be so amazing to have a normal birthing expirience. They said they will get baby boy right on the boob .. as long as nothing is wrong with him. And i will see him right away and they will weigh and measure and clean him right there with me. I could go on and on about how different Malia's birth was. I am really looking forward to meeting our son. I am so greateful for my doc. Weiderman really is the best OB in Humboldt in my opionion. The nurse said I will be doing the NST twice a week soon and doc once a week and ultrasounds once to twice a week .. whoa! Thats pretty crazy. I better make some progress on baby's room soon. Ive still be working and finishing a website and now taxes. So much to do.

I have my baby shower this weekend .. my mom is coming! so excited to spend time with her and see my friends .. its been too long.
