so...um...yeah

Had the doctors appointment today...and now panic and nervousness has set it. He measured me and looked at me like...I had 4 heads. I'm 34 weeks and 4 days and I'm measuring 38 weeks 1 day. I have gained 13 pounds in 2 weeks, with that being the only weight gain this whole pregnancy, he just looked in disbelief and joked around with me for the most part. He said if I haven't gone in 2 weeks, he will see me back at the office and possibly order an ultrasound to see how big the baby is, if the baby is big the thought of induction is a possiblity. I don't want to be induced but if I can easier plan where the children will be than it will be better. Brandon left today to spend the night with Tim's father who's home from Florida and I told him that I will most likely have this baby while he's at his mothers the next 2 weeks, he wasn't impressed! In a way, I'm hoping that could be better because that's 2 kids I don't have to worry about where they are going...now my other fear is that I will go Labor Day weekend and my mother will be at camp with no cell service and miss the birth!!!! Hopefully she will be here soon!!!

48 days to go

...but really whos counting! I subscribed to babycenter.com and every week on my "weekly time" i get updates on what the baby looks like, what I should expect, etc. I saw on Saturday that there were not many days left and I kind of freaked. It surely is going by fast.

Summer is starting to wind down and I start thinking about school clothes and things for school. I have yet to find a babysitter, so we will even see if I get to go back to work/school. I'm looking for someone actively, but like my search for Fiona, i need to have full trust in this person. Especially now, with a newborn.

Things are coming together for baby Alexa, we are heading to Syracuse tomorrow and possibly picking up her carseat, yes we have 2...technically 3, but just as Kara got a new one, I think it's only fair for Alexa to have her own. I need to get the bassanet from my moms and we shall be ready, a few arrangements in the livingroom to accomadate her things, but no big deal. We set the baby swing up today and just to my prediction, Kara was sitting in it before we could get things picked up. She is getting ready, she's constantly pulling up my shirt saying baby and sticking her finger in my belly button (which is almost closed!!!!) I'm really surprised I'm not packed yet, as I was with Kara at this time. That reminds me, I'm still looking for a diaper bag as well, I'm anal about "bags" Kara has graduated from a "diaper bag" to a bag she shares with Tyler with "stuff" in it for when we go out! This shall be interesting with 4 kids and 2 bags, I'm nervous, scared, and excited all in one!

We are heading to the Syracuse Zoo tomorrow with our friends and there 4 kids, yup thats right, 4 adults and 7 children, it's always an adventure when we all get together.

The boys spent 2 weeks with their mother...a whole other story, that would take me all night to blog about...long story short, Tyler came home with a bald head and a diagnoses of Chicken Pox, which are really flee bites from her 5 dogs...we are anxious to see if his Chicken Pox come back when they go back the last 2 weeks in August...Court ordered visitation, not our choice.

We are all doing well, just hanging out and anxiously awaiting the arrival of this baby!
