My how the time flies eh? I'm so sorry I haven't been writing much lately. Baby has her nights and days mixed up, so I've been sleeping whenever Harley will give me the opportunity.

We moved into the new house on the 25th. Exciting, but so stressful. Anyhow, we're here now. I love it! But I don't seem to have the energy to get things out of boxes, so the house in only half in order. Not to mention I really want to paint the house. Most of it is a mint green, and the den is a peachy pink color. Other than color though, Im so happy to be here. This place felt like home the minute I walked in, and the more things I'm able to take out of boxes, the more "at home" I feel. I can definitely tell that Harley is thrilled to be here as well. Walks out one balcony door, and comes in the other. I think he's amazed to have such a large back yard (fenced) that mom will just let him come and go as he pleases.

Summer is doing great. On the 10th it will be a month already! Can you believe it? I haven't had a chance to just focus on her, with all the moving, I feel like I missed so much. She holds her head up great now, and loves to be on her tummy. As a matter of fact she gets mad on her back. She is started to like the swing, but prefers to be held. And that is posing a problem for us. But how do you "unspoil" a baby? Harley adores her. He wakes up and shouts "Good Morning Baby girl Summer" Its really funny.

Things are progressing great! My incision is almost healed now that the infection is gone. I was having a terrible time nursing with this one, so I did decide to try the medication, and so far so good. I think I'm ready to come off of it and continue with just trying. Problem is the meds cause terrible head aches, and I'm bleeding again from them... (not that you needed to know) but I got enough issues to deal with don't need to add more.

I'm learning to adjust to having 2 kids. Its not a real problem actually, the biggest issue is the lack of sleep. I'm up all night with Summer, and then have to be up all day with Harley. And of course Harley doesn't nap! So I'm literally running on 3 hours of broken sleep every day.

Anyhow thought I would touch base. New phone number is 780-760-7620... don't you love the 780 now?!

I was having terribly stomach pains and a constant back pain. And every couple hours it would get even tighter and much more painful for a few minutes, then that pain would disappear. At first I thought it was the food. My in laws all think its just wonderful to go out for dinner, even though I have tried many times to explain that restaurant food makes me ill. It was FIL's birthday, so we went any ways. That was Friday night, but midnight Saturday I decided to get checked just in case it was the real thing. Which right now I pray every moment is the real thing. So we went into the hospital and I was too happy to be given T3's with codeine and get a real sleep... but they gave me a prescription and I haven't needed the Tylenol since that night.

Last night however, getting Harley ready for bed i was sitting on the floor and I got this horrible wrenching pain from the top of my belly button straight down into my "womanly parts." I shrieked. It hurt so horrible. But only the one. That was at about 9pm. Then by midnight I had a flow of these pains like every 5 minutes. We started keeping track of time. And by 1 am I was fine and baby was moving like crazy.

I just cant help but wish right now that everything that goes on with my body is the real thing.
Needless to say. STILL NO BABY!

We got approved for the house and possession date is the September 26th. I am too exited about it. Fenced yard! 4 bedrooms plus den.

Thats it! Ill try to get back as soon as I can.

Im sorry I havent been around blogging much. I just having been feeling up to it. Today is FIL's birthday, so I suppose this mean I HAVE to have a baby today. Well... I don't think that its really up to me. So do ya think ya could stop hounding me dad!? Isn't it bad enough my first has to share his birthday with christmas? Why would it be fair for the second to share with Gido?

Regardless anyhow, my due date has been changed to the 1st. And the math doesn't add up. I am contracting any how though. So we'll see. Baby is head down, but face up. Same as Harley, only they aren't too worried about it. I have something called an "opy' belly? And if everything goes like it should, baby should "cork screw" her way out.

Whatever?!

We're in the process of buying a house.... hopefully... So things are crazy there, and I have lost all my energy, and all my patients...

Will write as soon as I can....

12 days to go ladies and gents. Finding it a little weird knowing that its that close to happening, but I don't feel like I'm gonna have a baby. I could complain the way moms do when prego. But I just dont have much to.... Oh okay I'll complain!

I CANT BREATH! no matter what position I try
I CANT EAT
I Can bend... but it hurts every other part of my body
my hips are aching, the head aches, the nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, the lack of sleep... or feeling like a lack of sleep...

Harley went camping again with my parents the long weekend. (Spoiled kid) Wade and I stayed here and hung out, although I didn't really feel like we spent any time together.
And next weekend... we see ELMO live at Rexall... Too exciting!

I have a docs appt tomorrow, and again my sis in law will be watching Harley for me. So I will post back when I know more. This one will also be telling me the results of my thyroid tests.


P.S. We found the perfect name for baby..... Miss S. Dawson

See ya soon!

This is more than likely the last long weekend before our baby is born. Harley once again is going camping with Grandma and Grandpa (My parents.) He is too excited all he keeps saying is "Grandma's Car... Camping again."

Yesterday I went in for my blood work for the Thyroid and next Wednesday we'll find out if that is whats going on with me. Janel was here to watch Harley, and has watched Harley for almost every appointment I have had so far. Its so nice to have someone to rely on like that. Every one insists this baby will be early, but I have a strong feeling she'll be late.

Because of the basement flood I've been working extra hard trying to get things in order. Almost everything from the basement has made its way upstairs. Harley's play room seems so boring now. But to try and find some place else to live has been too challenging, especially since baby will be here soon.

Any how I have more work to do in that basement

Be back soon...
