NST and a ton of Pictures!!!

My first NST was yesterday and Hayley passed with flying colors!! I am so relieved!!! I hope she continues to do well! My dr is talking about an induction in the 39th week so that means I will probably have a May baby if I don't go into labor first! I wanted to go in the 38th week! I am already miserable and can't sleep!! Also I had the AVI done, this is where they measure the fluid. Looks like I have to much just like with Ashton. It is OK though. I gained 41lbs with him and walked out of the hospital 31lbs lighter! I have only gained 25 with her so far! So keeping my fingers crossed that I will weigh less after having her! LOL Yeah right! I am dreaming I know!

Hayley's nursery is done!!!! We went with a little girl theme so we didn't have to change her room at 2 like we have had to do with Ashton's room. Pictures of this are included as well!






















Easter Egg Hunting at home!


We changed Ashton's room as well. He was growing out of the Winnie the Pooh. We got really lucky because we didn't have to paint!!

Nervous, Nerves

Ok I was handling being preggo and nervous OK but the last few days have been horrible for me.

I still have my doppler and yes I use it everyday even though I can feel her move. However, in the last few days she has been moving a little less (which I know is suppose to happen, just can't tell my brain that) and I have noticed some slow down in her heart rate. Like last night it was down at 120-125 which is freaking me out but really what can I do. Go sit at L&D just for them to send me home when it comes back up. This happened with Ashton so I know this is what would happen.

Yes her Heart rate has come back up but that is what is so terrifiying for me. Ashton, did this right about this time in his pregnancy (31 weeks), I sat in L&D a lot for the very same reason. Then when I was induced with him he had a terrible time. His heart rate kept dropping etc....... I just remember how terrified I was the last few weeks of his pregnancy.

I just hope and pray that this little miracle is going to be the true miracle for Carl and I to keep. I get so nervous knowing that at anytime during a pregnancy maybe the last moment. It is extrememely nerve wrecking! I thought I would be better this time but I am not. Actually the closer I get the worse I feel about it. I just can't help myself. How am I ever going to make the next 70 days???

U/S!!!

Hayley looks really good!! She is weighing about 2 pound 15oz (+/- 3oz)She was really active and again they had a hard time getting any photos of her. The office just got the 3/4d u/s machine! I was really excited to have it done! They couldn't print the photos off in color yet but I got to see her on the monitor with color. Let me tell you she looks exactly like Carl!

28.1 Week Belly Photos and Ashton Photos!

Here I am today 28w1d belly photo!

I can't believe how big I am!!

Here is Ashton playing on his coaster! I guess he is bored with it now because he stands up and rides the track. He also rocks the coaster until it spills over on him!

The stool that Ashton is standing on was a neighbor of mine. They were like grandparents to me. They passed away in 1999. I used to stand on this stool and help Mrs. Green bake cookies. When he was standing there at the sink that is all I could think about!

Happy Angel Birthday Lorna!

I won't be able to post tomorrow so I am doing this a day early. Again, this year it is to cold to send her up balloons so I guess we will do it when we have a warm day. I was going to do it yesterday. It was so warm here but the wind was so bad. I just knew it would get stuck in a tree. I can't believe that my angel has been gone 3 years. It seems like only yesterday.

Happy Birthday Lorna. Mommy and Daddy miss you so much. We think of you everday.

Happy 2nd Birthday Ashton!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe he is 2 already!! Time has flown by since he came into our life!! What a joy the last 2 years have been for us! He has been a beautiful miracle in our lives!! We had his birthday party yesterday at his favorite restraunt Ryan's!
Opening the loot!

His Cake




He was scared when we lit the candle!

Pictures from Snow on Thursday!

On Thursday I woke up before Ashton and got on the computer. I left the door open so I could hear him. My cats aren't allowed in the bedroom but this is what I found!






Ashton took his shoes off in the snow!!!

As our Job comes to a close.

I have been on short term disability since Oct. and I really haven't talked to much about the fact that Carl and I were losing our jobs 1/21/08. I did make a post back in Sept I think about it. I am really sad about it. I didn't think I would feel bad about not being able to do my job for GM anymore but I seem to be. I hate the fact that we do contract work and can lose it.

GM awarded the account to another carrier due to an underbid. We could have gone with the new company but Schneider offered a bonus to stay with them for the drivers. The bonus is $5000 which of coarse I am not eligible for! We really need this bonus because this year I didn't sign up for afflac and I am only getting 1/4 of my pay. The bonus is paid out 2weeks after the account ends and money every month until it is $5000 So we decided that staying would be a good idea for us right now.

Anyway, it has been difficult for Carl to find something else at Schneider to do and be home. He could have easily transferred to Ford in Winchester Va for the same pay and been home every night as well. However, there are things about working there that Carl didn't like. Him and another guy decided they were going to work as instructors in Carlisle PA. This is 90 miles away. 4 day work week. Carl and I did this from '00 to '02 when they decided to downsize the facility. Only a little later to reopen it again!! Anyway, the cost of driving there and the fact that the pay was less was bad. In the last week, however a new account opened for him, it runs out of Scanton Pa. and is for Sears. It doesn't get him home every night but it pays more and he can just bring home the truck. It does get him home every weekend. So now I am going to feel like a truckers wife again. This is why I learned to drive in the first place!! I didn't want to be away. I do hope that when I am ready to return to work that I can find something! Well, I will worry about that in May!!

Couple of video's

This was me trying to practice with Ashton on saying the baby's name. Sometimes he was cooperative and sometimes he wasn't! LOL
