About 3 Weeks to go....

After the ultrasound on August 19th, they have scheduled me for a c-section on Sept.20, if nothing happens before then. I'm hoping something happens soon. I'm getting so umcomfortable and I'm out growing some of maternity clothes. It's crazy!! I'm 36 weeks. Saturday I'll be 37 and I say let this baby come on. We are ready to meet this little boy/girl!

Corn on the Cob







Mason LOVES corn on the cob! He ate it at Nanny's house about 2 months ago and she used the little "grippe things" that you stick in the side of the cob. Ever since then he can't eat corn on the cob unless he has those "grippe things."

We're Just, HAPPY!





















"I swimming, momma!"

We finally got Mason a pool. He loves it, of course.




Just having fun!!

Phil slept while Mason splashed around.



He rides over the bump just so he can get stuck and watch his wheels spin around and around.

"I gotta peepee momma!"

On the Count Down....(Pregnancy)

I had a doctor's appointment this Tuesday(8/3/10), everything checked out fine. I'm now 32 weeks along but by looking at me, you would think I'm going to deliver any day now (that's what a lady told me on the elevator the other day.) I've gained a total of 20lbs thus far, which is a lot better than I did with the first pregnancy at 32 weeks. There's a really good chance I will be scheduled for a C-section this time, since I ended up having to have one the first time after almost 24 hrs of being in labor. The only way she will let me try a VBAC is if I went on my own, like my water broke or contractions started. But since it looks like this will be a good size baby as well (Mason was 8lbs 10 oz), then she doesn't want to wait for me to go on my own. Honestly, I don't either, I'm ready for this baby to get here, very soon. So, I only have 5-6 weeks left(baby could be here the 1st or 2nd wk of Sept.) I have an ultrasound on 8/18/10, and she will schedule me a day from that ultrasound. I still feel pretty good. I believe my belly has stretched to it's MAX!! All the weight I've gained is in the belly area. I'm carrying 20lbs out front. LOL!

Keep us in your prayers, for the baby and for us as a family. I know having Mason turned mine and Phil's world upside down, but this time it's not just mine and Phil's world, it's Mason's too. My biggest fear, besides my patients level, is that I will lose what I have with Mason. I know that may sound silly for those who have more than one child, but I can't help but have these crazy thoughts wonder through my mind. I'm sure it will only make our family closer and stronger. When I talk about the baby to Mason, he seems excited. He'll say,"I like babies." He does have to say something about every baby we see, no matter where we're at or what we're doing. I am looking forward to watching a relationship grow between Mason and his sibling. Oh, and just think of all the pictures to come!! Although as you can tell, I've been pretty slow about updating the blog, so you know it will only get worse when the baby gets here. :)

Have a great weekend!

Silly


Bath tub hair!!




Mason and Daddy goofing around.

That's a Huge Fish!

We made another trip to the river in Alabama on July 24 & 25. IT WAS HOT!! The motor home had two blowouts on our way there. Luckily, we had several people stop to help, and one man new somebody that owned a tire shop, and was able to have them come out, get the rims, put new tires on and help mount the tires back on the motor home. We sat on the side of the road for over an hour, but it could've been worse. Then we headed on out. Phil did not get to make this trip, since he had to work on Saturday, and we came home on Sunday. We didn't catch many fish on the pole, but A LOT on the trotlines!



Mason loves being on the boat!!



Putting out the trotlines.



Bringing in the trotlines. This is a workout, just ask PowPow!



The catfish were SO BiG, we ran out of room in the livewell and just had to start piling them in the net. We've never caught that size of catfish before on trotlines, it was exciting!





Mason looking like he's about to cry!

Then he decided it was more fun to laugh!
