1 day till she is offically due...

As for us, we are still waiting. I am having contractions ever 6-7 min but I swear that's the same I have been having for the last month so I am not excited about it. They just won't get any tougher. So we wait...  I do have to say that I have never in my life been in so much pain. I just don't understand why it hurts so much. I feel like someone has broken my pelivic bone and everytime I get up to move I am shifting it around to grind on itself. UGH!!! This part I can't wait to be over with. Knowing that she will be here in a few hrs once labor starts will help me to deal with the pain. But this not knowing is killing me.

So last night I did have a dream that I had Hailey, She was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!! She had this little pudgy face and these long long eye lashes like her Daddy. I can't stand it. She was wrapped up in one of the pink blankets that I got her. She was just so cute. And it was so odd cus I was standing over her looking at her in the little carrier and drinking a glass of wine as she looked up at me and got excited to see me and smiled... it was too funny. I was shocked that she smiled at me. But then I called and talked to my Mom about how cute she was and all that jazz. Humm, can you tell I am excited about it 

Our final inspection is today on the room that was built. It's soooo cool. I will post pictures of it.  As soon as the guy leaves we will start to move all of our stuff up there  I can't wait. Then Mike is going to start on Hailey's room  YEAH!!!!  
Last night for dinner we went over to Christal's house. I love having her so close. She lives about a block from us. She has turned out to be such  a good friend. I have not idea how I was lucky enough to get to meet her.

She is the first contact after my mother when we go into labor she is going to take care of Nik for us so that he can still sleep in his own bed. She said that she will just stay the night here so that little dude can sleep good  Really she has been so wonderful.

Last week, we always get together on Wed nights, I was feeling really down in the dumps and it was my turn to cook and have her and Alex over for dinner. I called her early in the afternoon and told her I was just feeling like crap and didn't have the energy to do much of anything. And I was also being a royal B** and I was sure she didn't want to come be around that.

Her response was.... You like chicken don't you? My response... Yeah. Why? Her response.... I will see you at 6:00 I am making dinner and if you get off the couch while I am there I will be very upset with you.

My best buddy comes over with a complete dinner and dessert. Not only does she serve it up. She feeds my child and hers then cleans up the dishes too.  How sweet is that??? HELLLO, you don't get friends like that. She made me feel so wonderful and blessed to know I have someone who I can count on like that. It was one of the nicest things anyone has done for me. It meant so much!!!!

Anyway. I am looking forward to her getting PG and having her 2nd so that I can repay the favor.  After I am done feeling the way I am I think I am going to make something really nice for her. Not sure what yet but I will figure it out.

Life is wonderful when you have friends and family like I have. I am truly a blessed person.
Alright, I am going to try to organize the office so when the inspector leaves we can start to organize.

All is well here. Although we are still prego... 3 days to go.....

I am listening to the sounds of saws upstairs. They are just about finished with the remodel upstairs. It looks really great!!

We should be able to have the final inspection by tomorrow then we can start to put in the furniture and call it done  That's gonna be nice 

This weekend was pretty much uneventful. We stayed in and painted the room and watched TV. It rained so hard all weekend you couldn't really go anywhere. There was flooding everywhere. Made it nice to be home with my boys.

O.K so as I am putting together this entry my husband just took Nik to the Doc and he got him the flu shot too. ARGH!! I could just shot him. Hello!!!!! Me and most of my family is allergic to the dam shot and he has to go and do something like that right before I give birth. UGH I swear. So I am watching little guy  to make sure he does not get a reaction to it.

I swear....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yes there is still no Hailey!!!

We have 7 days left..... 

I am feeling O.K I have been a bit crampy and have been hoping that it will turn into something a little bit more then just cramps. But we will see.

We finally got little girls car seat cover after the drier ate the old one. That makes me feel a lot better now too. Mike said he would install the base into the car today so it's all ready to go 

I also pulled out the diapers that I saved from when Nik was a little tiny guy.  I can't get over how cute they are. They are sooooo little.

So we are supposed to go for family pictures today. I am so not please about this. My face is swollen, I look like a huge blimp and feel even worse and now I have to go smile for the camera!! UGH. I can understand that Mike and his family want to take pictures. It been about  3 years now.  I am trying to be a good sport about it, really I am but that doesn't make me feel any better about doing it.

Little dude just woke up so I am going to go love him 

Oh before I go. I found this online from our registry from Nik I wanted to save it its just too cute!!! Mike put it together for me.

Inspiration Here is the inspration to the baby's room theme. This is a picture of Snoopy from the "Snoopy on Ice" show that we attended in December. Shanea and I are both fans of the adorable Beagle.	The best gift is still to come Here is the star of our show at seven months into her pregnancy. We may have a lot of Christmas presents under the tree, but the best gift (Nikolas) wont be delivered until sometime in March. Isn't she beautiful?	Almost Done! The old guest room is nearing its transformation into Nik’s new room. We've completely remodeled it. In this pic, the old, single pane, aluminum window has been replaced with a warm, double pane, vinyl window. Also, a new windowsill has been added and new paint has been applied.	New Paint Does Wonders Here’s a closer look at the new paint. The two colors look great together.
Never Ending Project Although it seemed like the never-ending project, I really enjoyed preparing the room for Nik's arrival.	90% Complete Well, it needs some finishing touches like wood blinds, but here’s a pic of the completed room. Notice the new window trim, windowsill, chair molding, crown molding, baseboards and even new carpet. We absolutely love it!	Snoopy Boarder This is the boarder that set the tone for the room. It turned out even better than we had imagined. This boarder is sentimental to us. It was purchased directly from the Schultz Museum, which is located only ten minutes from us.	A Nice Start Nik’s not due for another 51 days. But we just had to start filling up his closet with adorable outfits. My mother in law keeps telling me not purchase clothes for him because we'll get plenty at the shower. But I just can’t help myself. They're just too darned cute to pass up.
That's my prego! Here we are nearing the finish line. 50 days left and counting. I sure will miss feeling her tummy move, but look forward to the joy and excitement that lies ahead.	Rocker Glider and New Crib	Crib Close up	Dresser and Toy Box
The Cutest Lamp We've Ever Seen	Mobile The Mobile is absolutely Adorable. It plays "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and moves the baby Snoopys around and around	Nikolas Shanea's sister did a wonderful job hand painting the letters to attach to the door to his room. Each letter has a different theme. She even painted ducks on the "N" in recognition of my love for duck hunting. Thanks Mena!

I can’t believe Nik is so big!!!! He and I had the best weekend together it was so much fun! He is such a cutie pie. We played hide and go seek all weekend. He has just learned how to run so he gets on his tippy toes and runs forward. Its fun to watch and then when he even thinks that you are going to chase him he giggles hysterically. I just love it. On Saturday night we went to Rick and Maria’s for dinner and to watch the fight. Olga and Martin were there too. Nik totally attached himself to Olga. He just loved her. He grabbed her hand as took her around the house asking her “What’s dat?” Olga just loved it. She went all over the house and told him everything. 

Then on Sunday Nik and I were going to go shopping with Cindy (my cousin) but I just didn’t feel well. I have felt worse with this pregnancy then I did with Nik. I am not as tired as what I was with Nik but I have been so sick. YUCK! I don’t like this part. But as long as I get a happy baby that’s healthy that’s all I care about. J I am going today to fill out a bunch more paper work and get a few tests taken. I am also going to try to see if they will do another ultrasound. I really would like to see what the other “thing” is that’s in there is. I have been pretty nervous about it since she saw it. Just hope that its nothing bad. But this little one that is in there that we saw much be growing like a weed cus I have been puking my brains out for the last three weeks!!! J

So tomorrow is my birthday. WOW I am going to be 27 years old. Where did the time go?? It’s hard to think that I am already 27 years old. I guess if I look back on things it’s really not that hard to believe. I have done so much the last few years it seems like the time has just passed me by. I am really excited to have all of my family around.  Its also a trip to think that next year at this time I will be a Mommy of 2 not just 1 WOW. Mike and I were sitting on the floor last night playing with Nik and we both commented on how much fun its going to be having two little munchkins running around instead of just one. I can’t wait to see Nik as a big brother. He is going to have a blast with a younger sibling.

Alright. I have to get back to work. I will write and let you know how the doc appt goes today. Hopefully I will have some good news to share soon.

This last week has been a whirl wind of things…

Let’s start with the good parts. Sunday was Mother’s day. I had a wonderful time. We got up early and went to breakfast with my parents. That’s where Nikolas gave me his card and two Disney DVDs. He is such a thoughtful kid I tell you. (Thanks Dad…) Then Mike helped him to write the card out.  Now backing up just a little bit, Nikolas loves Mickey Mouse as much as I do. This I think has been prompted for two trips to Disneyland before the age of 1 but anyway that’s not my point. Nikolas picked out a Mickey Mouse card for me for Mother’s Day. The cutest things that I think Nik does right now is every time he sees Mickey Mouse he points… then asks, What’s dat?... Then he starts to dance. This absolutely adorable show of love for the mouse comes from the fact that every time Nik asks me “What’s dat?” and he is pointing at the Mouse I sing… M-I-C---K-E-Y----M-O-U-S-E… Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse… J Its too cute. O.K so anyway, I am sitting at the table and I pull the card out of the envelope and sure enough from across the table you see Nik point and the infamous “What’s Dat?” come out of his mouth. Then the side to side sway that we call dancing. I just ate it up!!! It was so fun.  Then my thoughtful husband wrote inside the card all of Niks words that he say right now. It really was a special card. J Mike also gave me a very nice Mother’s Day card and in the card her reminded me about how next year I will be getting 3 cards instead of just two. It brought a smile to my face. J

We finished out the day watching movies and Mikes Mom and Tony came over for dinner later that night. It was a very nice Mothers day.

So Monday rolls around and I am so excited because I am going to the Doc to date the Pregnancy. I really am just not sure how far along I am. I can’t wait to find out. I get to the Doc’s office and off course my regular doctor is sick. I was really looking forward to see her. She took great care of Nik and I and I have the up most respect for her and what she does. So I have to see another Doc. No big deal cus I am going to see the newest addition to the Thompson clan.  So I get into the office and the do all the regular checks and I have the Ultrasound. Well on the monitor we see on little tiny yolk sac, so cute and perfect. I was thrilled. I kinda had hoped that I was father along then I was so that I could see the heartbeat. It just makes me feel better when I can see their little heart beating away.  But alas I am only 5 weeks 5 days alone.  The hard part is what happened next, the nurse was looking around checking to make sure that everything else looked good. Then she came across another little white blob on the screen. I asked her what it was and she said that it could be one of a few things, a cyst, another baby, or a blood clot of some kind. She just wasn’t sure. I of course freak out from this news… I don’t want anything in there with my new little one and if it is something then I want them to be sure that its another very happy baby nothing bad like a cyst or a blood clot.  Anyway, of course she said to me not to worry. (Yeah right) that in a few weeks they will look again and we can see what it is.

I am trying not to worry to much about it. I just pray that it’s nothing that will hurt the baby in anyway. Hopefully I will go back in a few weeks and it will be all gone and if God wills it there will be either 1 or 2 little ones in my belly growing perfectly.  I am going on Monday for all the blood work and such.

I am secretly hoping that they will want to take a peak again so that I can see the little one before my birthday. It’s on Tuesday and it would be such a treat to be relieved that the little one is growing just fine.

O.K enough said for now.

Luv

Well, 
  
Its official Number 2 is on the way! We are so excited. We found out on Friday. I think I am around 4 weeks PG. I am going to call the Doc later today and schedule and a appointment.  This is really exciting. I can’t believe that we will have to little ones running around J really what an amazing thing. I just can’t wait. Mike is really excited too. He told me that he loved me and the new baby so much and that he can’t wait to meet it :-) Nik is going to love being a big brother I just know it. He loves playing with all the other kids its really going to be so much fun for him too. 
  
Right now I am feeling pretty good. The only thing that gets me is the heart burn and if my tummy is empty then I get nausous. Oh well. 
  
We had a lot of fun this weekend. We went to Forest Hill to celebrate Zak’s birthday and hang out with the Mickel’s. Then Donna watched little man for a few hrs and we went for a short ride on the motorcycles. Mike and I had a nice time. We then came home and had dinner with Tony and Sharon for Tony’s birthday. It was really nice. Then Mike wrote in Tony’s card that we were having number 2 and he got very excited. It was really fun. I love telling people about the newest member of our family. I think I want to keep it under wraps but then again there is no reason to do so I know this little, Walnut is perfect in every way. :-)
