Sleepy.....

Well it's 2:42am and zac is finally winding down and hopefully on his last feeding. All he wants to do is nurse and he's so jumpy. I hope he goes to bed soon.

Photo memories

I have been using Shutterfly for the past few years now and love the photo Christmas cards: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards I just made some to send to friends and family this year and they look great! I can’t wait until they come in the mail. In the past I have made photo books but have yet to create a calendar http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/desk-calendars They do look pretty neat though. I might do one for a gift some day. Birth announcements are always a great idea too http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birth-announcements Why not send out great looking cards for a fraction of the cost from a photographer? I think Shutterfly is great and the shipping is pretty fast too. I have used them for quite a few years now and when I give pictures as gifts, the recipients love them so much and thought I spent a fortune. Of course I did not tell them the cost but for what it’s worth, photos are priceless!
I will continue to use Shutterfly for years to come because they make such great products and gift giving is so easy! The best thing is that you don’t have to leave your home and everything is mailed right to your door. If you don’t believe me, try it out for yourself and I think you will love them too!

busy busy busy

Baby Zac sure is busy at night. I have a feeling he is going to be just like Zoe and be up all night and sleep all day. He is definitely squished in there, sometimes seems like he is trying to kick his way out of my belly button! Definitely getting bigger that's for sure. You are estimated about 6 pounds 2 weeks ago. I suppose we might see how much you have grown this week. I am keeping positive for my VBAC and am very hopeful this will happen. My goal is to have a not so painful labor and to do alot of relaxing.

Moving around

Baby Zac is a mover and a shaker! Not much longer now and I have been feeling pretty good, just can't walk as fast as I used to LOL!

Getting there

Monday monday...Went walking at work and must have walked too fast and ended early b/c my tummy was burning. Then off and all day had some cramping; probably braxton hicks. My foot is no longer hurting so that is good thanks to going to the chiropractor for an adjustment last week. Waiting to get the baby's room done soon. I hate cleaning!

Feeling the heat

I feel like all I do is complain anymore b/c I can't do much. Being outside for long sucks b/c it's so humid my hands swell up and my tummy as well. So I like sitting in the house with the AC, that's wonderful!

Tired and sore!

Today felt like a Monday at work and I was so tired! I need to go to bed earlier but I still seem to stay up til 11pm every night no matter what! Just like now I can't go to sleep b/c I have to watch America's Got Talent. I am sore from standing on my feet all evening folding and putting my clothes away but now chilling in my nice comfy new bed, love it!

I haven't posted in 4 years so I might just start again, who knows. I have been inspired!

beach

Well, woke up at 6:15 this morning and am still going. Yesterday we went to the beach and it was beautiful! It was so hot that I just wanted to go into the water so, I bravely took my shirt off and showed off my baby belly and went into the water. It was refreshing, considering it is Lake Erie water.

Monday, Monday...

Wow, this morning I woke up at 5:30am only to find myself unable to go back to sleep. So, I played on the computer for a bit, then decided to get some yummy sausage mcmuffins from McDonalds!! Came home and woke the hubby up and watched the morning news. It was time to take my morning shower and to my dismay, the water was not even close to hot. I jumped in the shower and the water was cold. I thought the cold was on all the way but, it wasn't. I turned the cold water all the way off and found the hot to be moderately warm. Minute after minute the water became colder and colder, and colder... Luckily it is the summer and nice and warm. Needless to say, I took a really quick shower this morning. I came to find out that father in law turned the pilot light off on the water heater the previous day and forgot to relight it. Other than that, my day went pretty well. Have had some contractions on and off today, but nothing unbearable. We'll see if baby Zoe comes during the full moon.

Ebay!!

Yay, I bid on a fall coat for baby Zoe and I won it today for only 9 bucks on Ebay! It says Baby Zoe on the front. I can't wait for it to come in. I need to start selling on Ebay again.

Greeting from white house

Here is a reminder for myself to contact the White House to get a greeting after the baby is born. Here is the link:

Rocky, soaps, and photoshop

Ah, it's Friday and I have not worked in 3 weeks! I love it! I don't know when the last time I was able to sit home and watch soaps. I am getting to know what is going on again so when I go back to work, I will be good for a while. Still no baby Zoe yet so I was playing with photoshop trying to make announceemnts. I think I found one I liked and hope it works out. Right now I am watching Rocky II with the husband and enjoying the AC.

I am such a nice auntie. Today I helped my neices and nephew clean their rooms. I did more of directing than actually cleaning and it worked out well. I am in the cleaning mode but there is nothing to clean around here so, I found work elsewhere. It feels nice not to actually go to work, I could do this full time!

I can't believe I only have a few more weeks left of being pregnant and a little Zoe will be here. Her room is all ready for her and so are we. Here is a peek at her room.

Checks??

I can't believe that people are still writing checks this day and age. Why is it that I am always stuck behind someone who is writing a check at the store? It happened to me again. My hands are swelling today and feel really tight just like my feet. It feels really weird. Maybe it was from all of the walking today.

Last Day!

Today was an eventful day for us. Today was my last day of work, yay!! I went to work around 8:00am and didn't feel quite right around 8:30. I was having some braxton hicks contractions until 9:30 when I knew I didn't feel normal. I felt sick and couldn't even talk on the phone to people. I ended up getting evaluated at the hospital and had only 2 contractions there in an hour. The nurse said that baby zoe will most likely come before her due date. It gave me a feel of what labor is going to be like. I came home and took it easy today and am officially done working until 2 months after baby comes. I am really looking forward to this freedom! Yay!!

Today we had another ultrasound and Zoe looked great! She was moving around a lot in there that's for sure. It was so awesome to see her again before she comes into the real world. Chad got some good video of her hearbeat too. Can't wait to meet our little girl!!!
