Mike's Baby shower, which was May 11th

Feelings are hurt

My camera is broken and it can't get fixed. I'm sad. No pics until I get up and running again. I did manage to get some from today, so as soon as Mike downloads them to me I will be ON it!!!

Long waiting some good news to the family

I didn't think that I was gonna post today, but today deserves it. I went today for my O'Sullivan's Glucose Screening which for those that don't know... it tests the blood to see if gestational diabetes is present or not. Well guess what?.... I passed it I actually passed something. I passed by 3 points!!! The orange drink tasted bad, atleast to me. The other girl that was taken it with me loved it and wanted more. Anyway, my doctor said that it was time for me to see her twice a month and keep a close eye on the placenta (a test I took showed that there could be an issue at my 3rd trimester) Guess what?.... Annika is measuring 1cm advanced. Yay!! My doctor was happy to know that I'm doing prenatal yoga and taking a 7 1/2 hour birthing class on Saturday. Also, she refilled my Reglan that seems to be doing the trick for me with n&v and my IBS, which in all has helped me to gain weight and keep stuff in. I went back to work all happy. I was so happy that I cried that things were looking up.
Around 5pm, my mom came by my work and asked what time I got off and what I was gonna do, I told her and she was wanting to grab a bite to eat. Well, I changed my plans in an instant and decided (well WANTED) to hang out with her. We had great conversation and I told her that it was okay to cry over a cat. I told her she was well validated to be sad. She kept counting her blessings and how lucky she is to have Kelly and I, 2 daughters that want to hang out w/ her. I'm like, we're lucky to have you and why wouldn't we wanna hang out with her.... she freakin rocks. Today was a good day.

Good bye Basha (Bear)

It's official, he's gone. It happened today around 4pm. I don't have much to say right now, but the fact that I'm just sad. My mom, I'm worried about her, she loves that cat. Mr. Basha was our family cat for 16years. Now, he's not in pain and he doesn't have to suffer anymore. These pics were taken Easter 2006 and yesterday he just looked pittiful. Thanks everyone for your kind words with love and support. He will be terribly missed. I love you, Basha. I'll see you again one day!!!!

Sunday, May 6th

Today I met my parents at Church and then we went to eat brunch at La Peeps. Afterwards, I headed to my parents house to spend some time with them and to also say my "good-byes" to the family cat, Basha. Basha unfortunatley hasn't been doing so well and he just gets worse each day. We are all devastated, especially my mom. Atleast he won't have to suffer anymore.

Annika's Grandparents

This is Neal and Lynne ( my parents ). They both are very excited about the new edition. Aren't they cute?

April 21

This is me at a wedding

Jury Duty Day

Tuesday, April 17th I had Jury Duty, what fun!!! I got called to serve and when I went in the courtroom and talked to the Judge. Thank God I didn't have to be on that panel... lets just say I got dismissed. I still had to go back to the assembly room. Jury duty wasn't THAT bad, I was entertained and I met some people. The funny thing is that a friend of mine's mom was on duty herself. I ate lunch with her at The Penguin and it was a 2 hour lunch break. YAY, can't wait til next time.......psyche!!!

My niece Madison

Here are some photos of my niece Madison that were taken last Sunday at my sisters house. We had a blast. The girl in the red jacket in the background is my sister, Kelly. She is a great Mommy!!!!

Grub Time

Last, but not least, the chocolate molten that we shared after a hard days work, yummy!!!
Lora on what she does best...... ha ha!!!
Lora and I being silly!!!
Here's Lora smiling ever so pretty at Chili's on Saturday after our big adventure to Babies R Us!!!!

Finally Registered

Yesterday, Lora and I went to Babies r Us to register for me. My baby shower is set to be June 3rd so I needed to get in gear. It was a lot of fun but at the same time very overwhelming. Lora seemed to have a blast (like a lil kid in a candy store). I'm glad she came with me b/c I didn't know what I was doing and she has a 1 yr old so things are still fresh in her mind of what works and what not works. Here is the address to my registry Babies"R"Us - Baby Registry if anyone wants to check it out AND also thinks of anything else that I may need for Annika.

Leah Catherine Benton

Here are some photos of Beth and Brian's baby girl. Beth is a very busy mama so I'm gonna post some photos that were taken several weeks ago. Hopefully I shall get more.

Annika's cousin Madison

This is Madison Grace McCarty (my cute niece). My Dad is in the background, AKA Pee Paw. Madison understands that her "cool" Aunt Meagan has a baby in her belly, so Madison thinks she has a baby too. She said to me on Easter Eve, " My baby moved to, feel it." Of course, I looked at my sister and bro in law and we all raised eyebrows. Anyway, she's a ton of fun and I can't wait to have my daughter.

Moving along

Okay, here's the deal.. I've let too many weeks go by without any posts. Some of you guys already know my adventures with my pregnancy. To move things along...
1) baby Annika does NOT have spina bifida ( YAY ) after a long journey to get that answer
2) she does NOT have cystic fibrosis (I'm a carrier, Mike is not)
3) was in hospital Feb.21 for a couple of things
4) still get sick from time to time (I'm maintaining)
5) placenta seems to be good YAY again!!!!
6) Annika's heartbeat 146-160 GOOD TIMES!!!!
7) she kicks/punches me

That's all I can do for now.
I have some pics to put up, but this was taken on Easter and I'm 6 months

Me

13weeks or close

Ok, I'm trying to back track. This pic was taken close to 13 weeks more/less. This was taken at Beth Benton's baby shower Jan. 13th,2007. This day was a nice day. Beth and baby got a bunch of cool stuff.
