Update

Belly at 16 weeks.


Well Grandpa did a stress test and he passed. Dr's were surprised!! He had surgery on Sunday morning. Good morning to do this on!! They got everything out!! And now its healing time. He's in alot of pain. Guess what ... grandma is now scheduled for surgery next Tuesday to get the all the cancer out of her foot. If its not one thing... its another.

As for the house, this week we had two people fill out an application. Please pray that one of these people will work out. It makes me so sad to see our old house in Lebanon. I cry every time I see it. Jeff is always there to cheer me up. And then when he gets sad... I cheer him up. We can definitely lean on each other.

Otherwise... I am doing good. I thought I felt the baby move about 2 weeks ago but some say you cant feel it that early. But this Monday, it I felt it all day. It was like butterflies with discomfort. Nobody told me that there would be discomfort. Maybe its not the baby. I know I did feel a poke though. Yesterday I felt the baby again but not as much as Monday. Last night I was poking around trying to feel a poke again.. which I thought I did and I had Jeff put his hands on my belly to see if he could feel anything and he said no. But then Jeff said.. stop poking around.. you might break his leg. LOL... break his leg. I told Jeff that I cant hurt him by poking around. It was so cute. I told him that we have to add that story to the baby book.

16 weeks and alots of other stuff

Well everything is great with the baby. I am getting bigger and there is no hiding it. We had a checkup on Tuesday and I got my triple screen blood work done along with hearing the heartbeat. The bloodwork came back normal and heartbeat is strong. On Sept 16 at 10am is when we find out the sex of the baby. I am super excited about this. I think its a boy but now I am thinking its a girl because I think its a boy. Poor Jeff and his luck!! I know we will be happy with whatever god gives us but I really hope for a boy. Jeff would be so much more involved and watching him with Nicolas was great. But like I said, we would be happy with just a healthy child.
As for other crappy stuff going on in our life.....
First we cant sell our house or rent it or lease it. Our neighborhood sucks. Simple as that. As of right now.. I will be working for about a year after the baby is born. So much for the idea of being a full time stay home mom. Oh well shit happens.
More crappy stuff.... So we moved Jeff's grandma and grandpa here to Ohio. Well grandpa is in the hospital. He's been sleeping more than normal, wasnt eating and couldnt even hold himself up to walk. So he is in the hospital and getting lots of tests done. They found two lumps in his colon and we are waiting for test results as we speak. Also even if the lumps are cancerous, we cant do surgery because 1) he has had a triple by pass years ago 2) He is now in the process of Dementia. We just discovered this too. And they dont know if they can do chemo b/c he is very weak and old. He has been having hallucinations and is very confused. Grandpa is very mad and is being mean to the nurses and his own daughter. Its so sad. I guess he said yesterday that he wants to die. =( I dont care what he says.. we are saving his life. Back in NY, he would of kept sleeping and eventually died. The thing that pisses me off is he's been feeling this way for about a year now and he went to the dr(back in NY) and they really didnt find anything but yet this new dr said that there are all kinds of signs that showed this. It just sucks right now. I am going to see him today. I havent seen him hallucinating yet.. but I have been warned. It might not be a pretty picture today. Prayers and Prayers please!!!

By the way... I am so proud of my husband. He's been reading the bible every night before bed. Now that I have him going to church and reading the bible.. I am finding it hard for myself to believe since I have been praying for our house to be sold, rented or leased for months now. Not one sign. I am losing all faith. I dont understand his plan. I prayed for our new house- we got it. I prayed for a child - we got pregnant. So why cant he do something with our house? Why give us a new house and then not have things work out for the old house?

14 weeks

I am growing!!! I hate buying maternity clothes because they are made for tall or average size people. I'm short and I have a short torso so... everything is long on me. I went shopping this weekend and found a couple of items but I still need alot of clothes for work and for relaxing. Jeff and I are going to MI this weekend! I am hoping this is what I need. I need to get out of Ohio and stop stressing about our damn 2nd house. I really hate that house and cant wait for it to be sold, rented or leased. I rather be sold because I dont want to ever see that house again. I hate it!! Otherwise life is good. Work is picking up and Jeff is busy at work. I've attached a pic of my belly. Our next appt is on Aug 22nd. I dont know if they will tell me the sex of the baby at 16 weeks or 20 weeks. I heard 16 weeks on line but I'm not sure. I want to call the office but if they tell me 16 weeks, I am going to think about it non stop about the sex. I still believe its a boy. I havent had any pregnancy dreams yet but I do have the weirdest dreams. As for symptoms, I have a MAJOR headache everyday!! Still sleeping alot. Good things: My skin looks great. Its been this way for awhile now. Otherwise, life at the home front is great. Oh we did move Jeff's grandparents to Ohio from New York. We've been there everyday unpacking for them. I think last night was the first night they stayed at the new house. I am so excited for them. Now at the family dinners it will be 9 adults and 2 babies. WOW and in February it will be 3 babies. Big family huh!!

Oh yeah... is it possible to be pregnant with twins without knowing it?? I was listening to my little one's heartbeat and I normally hear the heart rate at 140 but every once in awhile I will hear a heartbeat of 170's!? I dont move it very much. I know its true because the heart is filled on the doppler so its a strong beat. I dont know. Maybe I make the baby's heart rate jump when I am listening. I told Jeff about it and he said we've seen the whole body of our baby and there wasnt another baby around. I guess.......... but still... could this happen???
