The Suspense Is Over
Ok, for those of you who couldn't find out what I'd changed. Here's a clue, I changed the growth chart from rainbow colored to blue! That's right, we're having another little boy! In the words of Doris Day, Que Cera (how ever you spell that.)Yay more boys. Logan will have another little buddy to play with.

Spicy Forrest
Forrest just took the spicy test and this is what he is.
You Are Black Pepper |
 You may be considered ordinary by some, but you're far from boring. You elevate the mood of any discussion, and people miss you when you're not around. You are secretly very dominant and powerful. Most can only take you in small doses. |
Tomorrow's The Day.
Well let me first start off by saying, WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THE SNOW?!?!?!?!?! QUIT ALREADY, IT'S APRIL!!!!!!!
Ok, now that I've gotten that off my chest...Tomorrow is the big day. I'm nervous yet excited. I already know, I just know what it's going to be. So, lets see if I'm right. I hope all goes well and that it cooperates! They're going to make me drink 32oz. of water. The last time I drank that much, it hurt so bad to walk I thought I was going to cry. Now if they're pushing on my bladder, I just may wet myself. soooooooo... Anyway. That's it for now.

Feeeeeel the Endorphins Kronk....can you feel it?
wel, I'm in love with today. The sun is shining outside and it makes me feel all green-thumby. Ahhh, can't wait to plant stuff.
Well on another note, I went to the Dr. yesterday and they said that my 3hr glucose came back fine, I was so estatic I think I clapped for joy. The nurse laughed at me. The baby's heartbeat (when it wasn't moving ) was in the 160's at a fast count for her. Squirmy little thing. The dr. who was awfully young looking told me that they still wanted to do another test at 28 weeks. So, that's several more weeks without a sticking so my poor wittle arms can heal up.
They tried to schedule the ultrasound for when I was 19 weeks which would be next week, but to my horror and much expectedness, I do end up having to wait until the 22nd of April to find out. Man, it's like a Christmas present that it just sitting there tempting cause you just know theres something AWESOME inside, and you totally want to open it and find out what it is, but then someone tells you, you have to wait for 11 more days to open it. I think I just may go crazy waiting.
Well Forrest has been working a lot on the house. The basements looking pretty neat. He's put in the egress windows and framed the rooms in, now he's working on the sheet rocking. It's awfully cute to watch him work, cause someone likes to do what their daddy does. So Logan's got the tape measure that he shares with daddy and is helping him measure stuff and pound stuff in. He sits back and surveys the work with his hands on his hips and says...hmmm let's see. Then rubs his chin like daddy and then crosses his arms as he rubs his chin. It's so very mini-me and so very cute.

Baeya who was only 5 months old at the time

December 14th,20th and 31st 2005 I think they were a little confused.

His heartbeat dropped between contractions and when they took him out they found the cord was wrapped around his neck and under his arm, so therefore I'm guessing is why I didn't ever dialate or drop.

Logan's Imagination
So, the other day, I'm downstairs and Logan keeps trying to get the phone. I told him to use his own phone. The next thing I see is Logan, with his hand to his ear, this is the converstation that followed:
"hello?"
"Hi, Domini!!!"
"um...."
"333"
"um"
"blah, blah, gibberish"
"um"
"Ne ne? At home."
"um"
"333"
"blah, blah, gibberish"
"ok, bye bye" waves at his hand then pushes his hand like he's turning it off
That just cracked me up that he had a whole conversation with Dominic on his hand phone. It looks like we're just starting to enter the realm of make-believe. How fun!

Great....just great!
When you think life just can't get any better, the dr.s office calls with some wonderful news!
I went in a couple days ago and had my glucose test done. The nurse called me back today and let me know that I was going to be a lucky contestant of the 3 hour glucose test cause my levels were raised. Yippppeeee Kiiiii Yaaaayyyyy!
I'm praying that this doesn't turn into gestational diabetes, I didn't have it with Logan, granted I was about 20 lbs lighter then. I'm just worried about the effects it will have on the baby, being that it can be quite large if you don't watch what you're eating and doing.
Just...great!

Where's Noah When you need his ark?
Well, Renee was wondering when I was going to blog again. Here it is. I've had a fun week already? Monday morning had me up at 7 getting ready to get all the laundry done early in the day. I started the washer and walked out of the room. Upon leaving the laundry room not 10 seconds had passed when the washer starts to make a funny sound like it's winding down on a low battery or something, or struggling with a realllllly large load (which it wasn't) so I promptly go back into the laundry room to discover that the second flood has happened in my basement. There was water pouring out of the washer. After turning it off. I proceeded to mop up the water as fast as I could before it could reach the furnace, which is right next to the washer. Luckily I corraled the water with some towels and proceeded mopping. Two and a half hours later, after mopping, dumping pails, wringing out towels that weighed what felt like 10 tons, wringing out all the clothes in the washer that weighed 10 tons and ladeling out the rest of the water into a pail. I was finished. Thanks to that little fun escapade, I have a back that hurts so bad I can hardly stand up. Do I get any sympathy from my husband? ....um,duh....NO! I tell you what, never mind, I'm not even going to go into that subject.
So, the second lovely part of the day comes with Logan in my room watching Clifford. The next thing I hear is him screaming. He comes out of my bedroom just crying his fool head off, rubbing his eyes that are red. He comes closer and I think I've already discovered what the problem is without him even coming near me. He gets closer and I smell his face. You guessed it, my child has sprayed my perfume in his eyes. That took about 15 minutes to wash out.
So, theres my wonderful blog in a nutshell.
