Week 26 - Still No Name!

Hello all! Yeah, its been a freaking long time. What is wrong with me?? Well lets see if I can catch myself up. (because I know the only person to read this is going to be my future self, lol)

So we have made it over halfway! I'm now, dare I say, getting close to 30 weeks?? 26 is closer to 30 then 20, right? ;) So yeah pregnancy is still not that fun. I am pretty much done with it. Done with being big, swollen, feeling full after five bites, peeing all the time, a violent child kicking me ALL DAY off and on. This has been so different then Chloe. Oh lets add back aches and heartburn, forgot those. And basically feeling like a 70 year old woman moving around.

So on the good news front. No more bleeding still. Baby is growing well. My health is good. I am bigger with this one at this point, but not a whole lot. Maybe 5lbs? I'll know for sure tomorrow at my next appointment. This will be my glucose screening appt, yeah. I'm sure I will fail, almost everyone does until they do the blood test and are like, o your fine. Really? Can we not get a better system for this?? Oh, here is the belly this morning:

I just went back to find a 26 week post to compare from the last pregnancy and found THIS! I am 28 weeks here and SO MUCH SMALLER! GAH! 

Holy moly. I'm mean I knew I was bigger then before but GOOD GRIEF! What is going on! And I know its not just the "you get bigger with your second baby" crap. Jamie was smaller with her second pregnancy! Granted her first was a boy and this was a girl. But seriously if girls are supposed to be smaller what happened to this heifer child?? Sigh. I'm going to be a BARGE by the time I pop this kid out! :(

So anyway, I was supposed to be talking about good things. We sold the mustang a while back! Got a lot more out of it then we put in it, which was awesome. We paid off our car loans and got some money back too. It has been SO nice not having to worry about how I'm going to pay the bills. Although I worry about what is going to happen later. Lee and I nixed the fifth wheel plan and have moved on to the 'build a shop' plan.

Yeah so he says he can build a shop for around 5k. Which is something he has always wanted, and really will boost the house/property value. Plus I am loving the idea of a garage to park in. No more frozen/snowy windows and running and jumping in the car when its raining. The first perk will be REALLY nice this winter with an infant. 

So we have to get a loan for $2500 anyway to pay the stingy hospital (who says I have to have them paid by the time I deliver, the dr office is letting me pay by month) and then add the other on top. We should be able to stay at 200 a month for 4 years. So that is probably what we are going to do. We are holding off as long as we can though to catch up on stuff and put off that payment.

Got Chloe's room painted! We went ahead an did purple, I just couldn't go with my plan, she LOVES purple. It actually looks pretty decent. I'd still like to get her a purple bedspread and a few things to put on the wall. But her furniture fills it up so good it looks fine for now. Oh yeah, I found her a whole REALLY nice set of furniture for $200 the other day. The grandparents bought it for her birthday, thank God. That was a big worry taken care off! It looks great too. It has a nice sleigh bed, night table, entertainment center, and a dresser with mirror. It all fit too! I'll have to take a picture of it. 

So now we just have to do the babies room. Decided on one light pink wall and the others grey. Gotta find some pink and grey bedding. I'm hoping to get it and a stroller for my baby shower. I got all the clothes organized the other day, just need to wash them now. I figured I'd be getting a lot more before she gets here so holding off on washing till I have most of them. Oh and the fact that my washer is KAPUT doesn't help either. Thank God for the mother in law! She always did the laundry on the days she watched Chloe anyway, so she just takes them to her house and does them. I really should buy her some detergent. I doubt she would take it though, thats just the kind of person she is.

Oh! We are going camping this weekend for Labor Day! So excited. Although I'm afraid we are tent camping which makes me a little less so, but it should still be fun. The places we usually go with a camper are all booked already, boo. I'm still going to look around a bit today though. Chloe is going to be so excited, she loves camping.

So yeah, I have a three year old now! She had a blast at her party. It wasn't anything big, just family and such. We did it in the back yard which turned out really nice. She is such a sweet baby, love her so much. Her spirit is so sweet and willing (most times) I feel so blessed to be her mama. I hope this next one is similar! (by the way it behaves right now I'm pretty worried!!) She had her 3 year old check up the other day. 27lbs and 36 inches. Very low percentile still, lol, but thats fine. 

Baby Olivia made her entrance!! She was born the first of this month, little bitty thing at just over 6lbs. Jamie was about a week early. She is such a sleepy thing! She is almost a month old (Thurs) and I have seen her awake maybe 3 times, lol. She eats like a little pigger though! Sounds like her daddy! Here she is visiting me one day:

Oh! To get to the title of the post. Yeah, this kid still dosen't have a name. We have sort of settled on Shelby, but it still doesn't thrill me. So we got Shelby from the Shelby Mustangs, lol. Since we had to sell the mustang for her, haha. So far its the only one both Lee and I like. I will probably tack one of my other favorite names on it for her middle and make her Shelby Noelle Mickle. I still really like Kennedy, or Kennadie. But she will have to spell her name her whole life with that one. But then she won't be as likely to be associated with our 35th president. I wish I could just LOVE Shelby and be done with it! I'm kind of holding out for the 4D ultrasound, hoping when I see her face it will trigger something. That should be in about 3 weeks! So excited!! I'll find out more about that tomorrow I bet.

Soo, I think thats about it. Will try to blog about how the appointment goes tomorrow. After this one I start going every two weeks! EEP!
