"Not Me..."

Oh Where to start with the Not Me's?...All of these situations are "not me" but they are all Nate's fault and due to pregnancy brain. Is that fair to blame your unborn child? I would never blame Nate for my serious sweet tooth that usually is the strongest around 9 oclock at night and can only be satisfied with chocolate!

I would never buy new knives and then proceed to dull them by using a glass cutting board! Apparently everyone "except me" knows that you don't cut on glass.

I would never make three different meals in one day to freeze and be prepared. And then go to bake one of them for dinner only to realize that we are out of gas. So, I made three meals and we ate sandwhiches for dinner!

I would never tell my family that I was totally ok with not coming home for my little brothers wedding and then cry about it for weeks! Only to find out that I do get to go and then cry about it because I am so excited!!

I would never stop eating chocolate because my OB/GYN only thinks you should gain 16 lbs. when you are pregnant only to eat around the chocolate in the chocolate chip cookie dough that I made for Allen. All along thinking that not eating those tiny morsels of goodness is going to keep my weight down!

Ok, so I think that I have shared enough of my soul and silly ways of thinking for this monday! Love you all and miss you!

Nate Update

We went to the doctor on Sunday and got to see our beautiful son during the ultrasound. I get teary every time!! Nate is 25 weeks and weighing in around 1 lbs 11 oz. It was a great visit for several reasons. The first and best, was that I got permission to go to the states for my brother, Daniels, wedding in May!!! YEAH!! Now we are just working on the logistics of going. My doctor is great and because of my history we know that I am not going to go into labor.

We also talked to my doctor about labor/c-section and what to expect with Nate. It was good but hard to hear. I basically have a cervix that is hard as a rock and am never going to be able to have a natural delivery, which is sad for me. I know there are lots of people out there that prefer to schedule and only have a c-section. Anyways, it is a blessing to know and a blessing that we have the ability to have c-sections. Plus, now we can schedule Nates arrival. So, it looks like between June 21-28 Nate will be born!! Can't wait to meet this little guy!

A great weekend

We went away this past weekend. We have talked about doing this trip for a while so it was fun to actually get away and see some things! This past weekend we went with our great friends, John, Angela and their son, James. It was a great time and we are so blessed to have fun people here to make memories with!

Bath time...

Ben is loving bath time right now. And I am loving sitting watching him have tons of fun. I was able to put pictures on Allens computer. We are going out of town for the weekend tomorrow, so look for so great pictures after the weekend!
