Cleaning

Hello Darlings,

    Today we are just relaxing here at home and having a lazy Sunday. I think I am going to pick up the house a little since I have been slacking. I am tired but I need to clean the house. It s a little chilly here so I made some coffee this morning and Zo got some hot coco. I made her put a little sweater on cause it is a little chilly. I love this weather. I get to dress her in cute clothes. =) She is coloring and watching cartoons. My back is really hurting me this morning. =/

    I am on over clean mode. I am hoping that I can clean so much that I work this little man out and have a super clean house. The kitchen is the first room I started on. It is looking pretty good. I still need to sweep. I am watching the rest of the patriots game then I will be back at it. =) I also made pasta salad for lunch. I made myself a classic pasta salad. Josh loves ranch pasta salad so I made that for him. Zoei ate some corn dogs. =)

 

    I cleaned the kitchen and Josh helped me clean the living room! It is looking great in the house! I am excited I love a clean house. We made some brownies again. We are in the process of making fajitas for dinner. It smells delicious in the house. We are still watching football. My back is killing me. Zoei helped me vacuum the living room with her little toy vacuum. =) She even swept the kitchen for me I of course had to go behind her to re-sweep it.  We are going to watch the Walking Dead tonight.

    Zoei got her bath she smells like grapes! =) She is eating her brownie before she has to go brush her teeth and lay down! The Dogs are cuddled up on the love seat with me. We cleaned out Cupcake's cage she was excited. I gave her grapes for the first time she loved it. We are watching the Broncos vs. Colts game. I hope that me cleaning all day helps boost labor if not then I guess he will come when he does. =)
 

    This was Daisy playing with Cupcake when we cleaned her cage! =) I think I will soak in a hot tub tonight maybe even make a warm glass of tea. I am going to have me a brownie and then just relax since I have been cleaning all day. I hope I go into labor here soon. This will be it for tonight. I hope y'all had a great Sunday! Good night y'all! <3

Expo

Hello Darlings,

    I am sorry I did not write a post yesterday. WE got up semi early got dressed ate then went to a baby expo that our hospital on post had. It was a load of fun there was a load of information there. We actually won a gift from there. Zoei got to bounce in one of those bounce house things. =) It was nice to go there and get information and free samples. One of the booths gave us 2 cute little knit hats for Weston.  This is what I wore. I am 40 weeks and 3 days.

    After the baby expo we headed to our house picked up the stuff to make gumbo then headed to my  moms. WE love spending our weekend at moms for family time. The dogs love going over there to play with her pups. I had to go to a baby shower so Josh stayed at moms while Zo and I went to the baby shower. It was fun Zoei got to play with kids.

    We went back to moms after the baby shower. It was nice Josh made gumbo for dinner. It was absolutely yummy. We watched football and hung out with friends. It was great to have friends to hang out with and just have fun. Josh got to cuddle with the dogs and Zo to watch some football. We stayed there for a while then we headed home and went to bed a little late. Zoei went to bed early though she was pooped from the fun she had. =)

    I guess I will end this post so it wont be a long one. I will write a new one for today! =) Sorry I  was unable to post yesterday! =) I hope your Saturday was a good one. <3

Pajamas

Hello Darlings,

    I woke up fairly decent today. I made Zo her morning cereal. I ate then I got Zoei and myself dressed. I let Josh sleep in a little bit since he wasn't feeling well. Then I woke him up to get ready we had a doctors appointment today. The doctor checked me today I am finally dilating. She stripped my membrane so hopefully It will help bring labor on. WE then went and ate lunch with my mom. We went to McAlister's cause we all wanted some soup. It was so yummy. After lunch Josh took our car and went home to relax cause he felt like poop. So Zoei and I went with mom to walk around thinking that would help some what with my contractions. I have been having loads of contractions. I really am hoping that I go into labor I really want to meet my little man. While we were at the mall I had to pick up some things for a baby shower that I am suppose to go to tomorrow. I also picked up Zo some pamjams cause she is growing out of hers. We also got her christmas jams cause every year we get pamjams on christmas eve. That is the tradition that we have made for our little family! =) You can never have enough pamjams. So I had to hide Zoei's christmas eve ones. Zoei took her bath for the night and is in her new pamjams. They are really cute she picked out the unicorn ones. I am drinking me a hot cup of my raspberry leaf tea to try and help progress this labor. I am about to tuck Miss Zoei into bed then I think I might head to bed myself. I will read a little bit. There is this baby expo tomorrow and I am thinking about going. I also have a baby shower to go to tomorrow as well. I am hoping Josh will go with me but I don't think he will. =/ It is okay though at least I will be able to get out of the house to have some adult time with friends lol. My lips have been horribly chapped I don't know what to put on them to make them feel better. I have put coconut oil , hydrating lip oil, and some lip butter on there but they are still dry and hurt. =/ I hope everyone had a great Friday. Good night y'all!

Bleh

Hello Darlings,

    I am up pretty early today. My nose is stopped up and I can barely breath! =/ this really sucks cause I don't know what kind of medicine I can actually take! =/ I am making me some oatmeal. Maybe even a hot glass of coffee or tea. We have a doctors appointment today to check on baby Weston. I am 39 weeks and 2 days in these pictures. <3 I can not wait until I meet this little guy! <3 Zoei picked her outfit out today and she matches. =)

    Last night I went to check on Zoei to see if she was sleeping and I caught her sleeping with her ninja turtle! It was the cutest things I have seen. I couldn't help my self so I had to take a picture of her. I love her so much. I am blessed to have such an amazing daughter!

    Well the appointment went well Weston is doing good. He is still not ready to make his appearance. We scheduled our next apt and induction date. We are hoping he will come naturally cause I do not want to be induced. I am going for an all natural labor and delivery. If I get induced then I can not have the water birth that I want. My allergies are killing me. All the sneezing and stuffy nose. UGH I feel like poop. I think I will lay down for a bit. We made pork chops with pinto beans (Zoei wanted them) and some garlic butter noodles. I didn't think Zoei would eat the pinto beans but she ate all of her pinto beans. =) 

 
     I made us all some hot chocolate. I figured maybe it will help me feel better. My nose is still stuffy. =/ I don't think I can take any medicine. I love these cups. I got them from the dollar store. Zoei is drinking her hot chocolate and watching cartoons then going to brush her teeth and off to bed for her. I am thinking about getting some primrose oil to try and induce labor. My tea isn't working. I hope I can sleep good tonight! We are going to my mom's again tomorrow to watch the red river rivalry game! =) Josh will be making ribs. I hope y'all had a great Friday! Good night y'all! <3

uncomfortable

Hello Darlings,

    Good morning. I am tired yet again I was unable to get comfortable! =/ I woke up and my lips were super dry. I wish I could wake up with energy just like Zoei! She has so much when she wakes up.  I am going to catch up on bones since we did not get to watch it last night since we were at the football game. After the Weston is here Josh and I plan on working out together and getting healthy. =) He should be here soon. I don't think we are going to do much today. It will be a relaxing day! I plan on trying to relax a little today since we were pretty busy yesterday.

    Helped Zoei semi pick up her room. She has been playing with her Lincoln logs all morning! She is watching hoodwinked and playing in her room! She is simply amazing. I am blessed with this beautiful girl! Then she told me that I was the best mom ever! She really knows how to make me feel good! =) 

    I was able to put a load of laundry on. I need to put Weston's clothes in his room. I have to figure out how and where I want to store his diapers. Right now they are in a laundry basket. I still have to do the dishes and pick up the living room. I think I will do the dishes when we start dinner. =) We are making chicken fried steak, Mac and cheese, and green beans.

 
    We just finished dinner it was delicious! We are about to play with Zoei's Lincoln logs in the living room with her as a family while watching shows that we have recorded! I love when we have family time! I go the dishes done. =) After we are done with family time and then take a relaxing bath.  I am tired I am making my cup of tea then laying down to read.  This was pictures of our family time. Josh made the house with a garage! Zoei had loads of fun. 

    After we were done with our family time Zo took her bath got her new pamjams on and is in bed now. Josh is playing the video game before he goes to bed! =) I am going to read and drink my tea! Tomorrow I will be 39 weeks pregnant with baby Weston. Well that is all we have done today. I hope y'all had a great Tuesday! Good night y'all. <3

Getting close.

Hello darlings,

         Well I am 38 weeks and 2 day Pregnant with baby Weston. We had a midwife appointment yesterday. We were told that we are at 2 cm dilated but that really doesn't mean anything. I have realized that the numbers they tell you don't mean anything and they just make you MORE anxious. I am super anxious for him to make his arrival. We are ready for him to make his appearance. Well My midwife told me that I can drink raspberry tea to try and naturally help the labor process a long with a list of other things. Well I invested in some raspberry tea to try and help. He is suppose to be due the 16th of October. So I do not have much longer. I have to do everything naturally or else I can not get the water birth that we have been planning on getting. That means I can not be induced, no pain medications, and not complications. I have had mild contractions since sunday but nothing intense. We are just taking it day by day. Weston got the hiccups for the first time on Sunday I was able to see and feel the little hiccups it was the cutest. The midwife said that I am measuring great and Weston is head down and in my pelvic area ready to make his appearance.  Here is a belly picture for this week. Do not mind my looks I was getting ready for bed and those clothes are comfy when you can not fit anything else. =) 

         Enough about baby Weston how about a little on Zoei. Before our appointment on Thursday Zoei asked me if the appointment was for her baby brother. It was so cute! She is extremely excited about Weston. She calls him baby brother. After our appointment we went to our local cloth diaper store they have these awesome earth friendly recycled toys there. Zoei has been wanting these magnetic blocks that they have there. They are called Tengu I believe. Well we were hoping to buy her some but when my husband (Josh) seen the price he said no. They were $60 bucks for a set of 22 blocks. We felt bad because she has been wanting some for a while. Instead of buying those we told her we would take her to look at Toys R Us to see if we can find her some blocks and they may not be the same. She was okay with this deal. We found her some lincoln logs that she wanted a way better price and she got more than 22 pieces. She was excited. We also found her Halloween costume there she is going to be Robin the super hero sidekick to batman. It is super cute. Zoei has been working on learning how to write her name. She has gotten the Z and O down now we have to get the in between down. I am so proud of her. She is simply amazing. She loves helping me with house hold chores. For a 4 year old she is very well behaved and helpful.  

           We had maternity pictures done a little while ago as well I will post a few of those pictures later.
