Still Waiting

Uhuh, I'm huge!! My sciatic nerve is shot and hurts like heck when I walk, sit, move or lie down. It kills me. Hard to sleep in any position cause my hips hurt. I'm so ready to have this girl.

I'll be 40 weeks on saturday and my doctor has already scheduled me to be induced on the 9th. Not planning on keeping that appointment. Sean and I decided to wait at least a full week after my due date before considering that option

We are pretty much ready and waiting. Finished my bradley birth classes and breastfeeding class. We have the hospital bag, pillow, blanket and baby seat in the car ready to go.

Compare These Two

Pretty cool, huh? I really need to buy church clothes. I keep wearing the same 3 dresses and they don't fit all that well anymore.

Eight Months

Christmas photos of baby bump. This was about 2 weeks ago. I'll be 8 months tomorrow!!!! Scary close. I'll be taking the Bradley Birth classes on DVD, so hopefully I'll feel less freaked about what's coming. Baby Busby moves all the time and loves to kick my right side. I love it when she has the hiccups. Sean can put his ear on my tummy and hear the heartbeat. Cool, huh?

I have also finally registered and let me tell you - that was a whipping. Thank God for Ana because I would have registered for 20 things and then left. I finished it online and it also took forever. But it's done.

I'm obviously not wearing maternity pjs in this picture.

Growing and growing

I'm 28 weeks tomorrow. My belly is growing and growing and growing. Some people see me and say I'm huge, others say I'm just right and others say I'm still small. So? Who knows. I think I'm just me. It's a little uncomfortable to sleep and to get up in my truck, but otherwise I feel fine.

I don't have diabetes, which is great. My iron is a bit lower so they asked me to take iron supplements. I hope it doesn't constipate me cause I go potty just fine right now.

The baby moves all the time and I felt her have the hiccups the other night. Pretty cool. I wonder more and more who she will look like and what her personality will be like. We pray for her all the time and ask God to bless us with wisdom. Sean reads psalms to us at night, which is nice. Most of the times I fall asleep, but I hope she's still listening.

We pretty much have all our big baby items. Ana's boss has become our fairy godmother and blessed us with a crib, carrier, strollers and various other awesome things. I do need to register soon for all the numerous other things a baby needs.

We really could not ask for more. God is good all the time.

Baby bump

This is a really horrible shot, but I have no really good ones. I'm 21 weeks and EVERYONE says I don't look it. I can still wear some of my clothes. Hey, at least my butt's not growing. She moves a lot and kicks my hand.

And Heeere's Oprah

Went to the fair with Ana, Michelle and Raquel on the next to the last Sunday and we saw Oprah and Gayle. She passed by right where we were and stopped to shake Raquel's hand. Raquel was so tired and wanted to pee and had no idea who Oprah was. I also fed my unborn child some cotton candy, fried peaches, tornator tators and funnel cake. Oh, my!


This is right after she leaned down to hold Raquel. Gayle was by us longer and I got more shots of her. She has big teeth.

The Busby's are having a girl.

We had our sono on Friday and they told us that they're 99.9% sure it's a girl. She was moving all over the place and I didn't feel anything. She was sucking her thumb at one point, but we couldn't get that part on the video. I felt her move today and Sean keeps trying to feel it, but she stops.

I feel much better now. I still wake up at night with stomach pain due to gases, but it's not so bad. Anything is an improvement from before. I had to have a root canal last week and two cavities fixed. All the acidity and eating every hour for a month didn't help. I also don't drink milk and eat little dairy. I started taking some cal-mag that a friend suggested, so hopefully that will help.


This is my favorite shot. Her little hand kepted moving in and out of sight...like she was saying hello.
