Girls Room Trial Wall

One Month To Go Today!!!!!!!

I have reached my one month mark. I am so excited. I am 46 inches round now and have gained 41 pounds. It is getting close to time and I am going to try and stay home and keep my house in order so that life is as easy as possible for my family after the baby is born. This is my goal. My husbands goal however is to paint the kids rooms and reorganize Derek's room. I think that this is a great idea. I love getting things put together and organized. I, however, had plans to keep house and rest. He is doing the majority of the work so I am going to take advantage and let him do it. I think their rooms will turn out great.



This weekend I did my major grocery shopping and boy do I feel the time coming near. I am slower than a turtle walking through these stores. I have to double the time I used to be able to shop in. It is amazing how your body just stops going even though your mind is saying lets do more. I am not having that horrible pain I had for the first seven months, which I am very thankful for, but I am totally exhausted. I am having the normal end of pregnancy woes [constant backache, pressure, wanting to sleep all the time, and big rear syndrome (hips aching and spreading)] lol. All to be expected. I look forward to the 2-3 braxton hix contractions everyday knowing that they are just getting me prepared. I am so ready that I am just waiting for some real pains to start (of course once they start I might change my mind). A month will go by quickly.



The kids are sensing the time nearing. Wynter asks me everyday if the baby will be here soon and how long will she have to stay at Meme and Pampa's. She tells me she wants to stay with me and that she will cry when she has to leave for me to have the baby. September and Derek are just ready for life to start with the new baby and to find out for sure what sex it is. Kevin, I think, is just ready to have the whole ordeal over with and to have his wife back. I think like every husband he has great concerns about the unknown for his family and is anxiously awaiting and praying for everything to turn out well.

IntelliGender Prediciton Test!! Girl????

Sister Cherrie Bosch bought a couple of these IntelliGender Prediction tests after seeing Sister Trina's Blog on finding out the sex of her baby. We are all very curious if this is really accurate and I am the first one due to have their baby. I am due on Oct. 24. This morning Cherrie, the great friend that she is, woke up early, came over with one of the tests so that I could use my first morning urine (it is very hard to hold it in now-a-days). I have 2 girls and 1 boy so we were thinking boy. The test results say that we are wrong with the boy feeling and it says we are having a girl. Well, I am not banking everything on this little test but I read their web site and it seems to be fairly accurate. So we will see. I thought that since I still have not figured out a boy name that that in itself may be a sign that a girl was in our future. We will be excited either way and if anything this was a fun little test to take. Above it my actual result after taking the test. Very different from Sister Trina's color.

Friday

Today is a beautiful Friday. The air is crisp and the weather will be beautiful today. I am going to take the kids to the park and let Wynter get some of her 4 year old energy out. Derek is starting to walk a bit and I am going to try and find him another ankle brace.



Kevin and I had our 12th anniversary this weekend. We went to church and went visiting. Nothing to exciting.



I have a little over a month left and I will finally be due to have my little one. He has decided that bedtime is the best time to really move around and keep me up but that is ok. I love feeling him move around and knowing that he is ok. He is big enough now that he has slowed down a bit and I am used to him moving all day. I think he is taking more naps getting ready for the big day.
