Surprise!!

Isn't Aiden the cutest little squish me sign you have ever seen?! I can't wait to hold him! Probably on August 20th. I haven't scheduled it with the doctor yet but that would be when I am 39 weeks which is when they do c-sections. Seven weeks and 2 days!!!!!

So yesterday I didn't have that great of a day at work. Not because work was bad, but my brain was bad. It just wasn't working and I was having huge brain farts. It continued as I came home too. At work I realized that my phone where it would normally say "AT&T" said "Unregistered SIM". The day before the screen would go white sometimes. I came home and before I could say anything about my phone, Sean said that he had been trying to call me all day. This made me upset. I didn't realize that my phone was not receiving calls. I went to my phone and I couldn't call out and Sean was calling my phone and said my voicemail box is full. Rah!! I told him about my bad day and now how it is even worse b/c I have to go use my upgrade to get a phone I don't want.

I have been holding onto my upgrade in hopes of one day getting an iPhone though I knew it was probably a dream and I would never be able to. (My phone was in such bad condition I had to use my pinky nail to hit the select button but I was just waiting for it to completely fall apart before I would get anything other than an iPhone) So I changed clothes and started to get ready to go to AT&T store. Sean was on the bed and said to come rest for a minute. I plopped down to find a box among the pillows. I pulled it out and it was an iPhone4. Ummmm... Is this what is really in the box? It is heavy. Is Sean showing off what he just bought for himself cause that is mean! Sean said "Open it. It is yours!!" WHAT?!?!??!! HUH??!! Mine? My iPhone? Those two words don't go together! I am always stealing Sean's iPhone. He explained how my mom and him have been planning it for months and that is the reason he left the house at 6:30 this morning, to go to the AT&T store and wait in line to get the phone for me. I can't believe it!!!!!!! I was in shock. I am still in shock. I have an iPhone and not only that, but got the iPhone4 and not only that but got the iPhone4 the day it came out for regular sale! I am loving it and going to enjoy it more and more everyday!!!

Today I got a free re-do of the 3D/4D ultrasound. Here's the results...







Aiden cooperated a lot better this time. :) Plus he stuck his tongue out at us! And yawned. Oh I can't wait to hold him! Only 8 more weeks!!

Boy crib bedding:
So, Sean and I have registered for a few things, especially since this time we are having a boy. I liked one kind of bedding whereas Sean liked another. What to you say? A or B?

A:


OR

B:


Okay. Now I am going to confuse you and I even more. When I went to get the pictures of the two beddings, I found a couple more that weren't in the store that I like...

So now what do you think??

Crazy, I know!

Hailey refused to eat dinner tonight. The rule in our house is that she will not be getting something else to eat if she doesn't eat her dinner. (We leave it out and offer the dinner to her later) We worked with her and did all sorts of things to entice her to eat but failed. So we had her sit at the table, fussing and all, until Sean and I were done eating. Sean let Hailey down and she walked over to the time-out corner and sat down. Ummm.... what??? I whispered to Sean who was facing the opposite way of Hailey and said "She is sitting in time-out." He said "But I didn't say anything about time-out." "I know!" I said. We let her sit there for maybe 30 seconds and then Sean went over there to talk with her and give her a hug. It was just darn cute! She is a quite obedient child most of the time but I must say her obedience has been upped a notch the past few days. I don't know what it is but I like it!

PRAYER TIME
Hailey will now repeat after us when we say something. Yesterday at dinner Sean had her thanking God for the food. Then he said "God, I love.." and Hailey said "God, I love.." Sean said "You" and Hailey said "Mommy!" It was so cute I just couldn't help but laugh. At bedtime we say prayers too. She did the same thing but said "God, I love... daddy!"

ROUTINES
Hailey now has a pillow in her crib with her. She lays on the pillow, gets her blanket put on her just right and lays her bunny, glow-worm and dolly on the pillow next to her in a line and they have to have some of the blanket too. :) She likes to share.

FUNNY THINGS
Hailey drank from my water bottle at the dining room table when she was coloring and it dripped on the table. Not a lot of water, just a few drops. But she says "Messy! Messy!" Then she took her hand, rubbed the water around on the table and said "Water bye bye!"

Hailey loves her baby Bible. Her favorite pages are the baby Jesus page and there are a few pages in it with fish. She turns to them so much that her Bible automatically opens to those pages!

So tired!

So I try to not complain that much but I am so tired!! When I start to complain though I think about my friend who has a sweet but wild 2 year old, is a fellow preggo, going to school, working, wife, etc. I don't know how she does it. Snort caffeine??

Tomorrow I am 30 weeks pregnant! This is what an email I received says:
Your Baby in Week 30 of Pregnancy
Your belly’s increasing size is a definite clue that your baby is getting bigger every day, weighing in at over three pounds now (he’ll be packing on the weight at a rate of half a pound per week for the next seven weeks). Also growing daily is his brain, which is actually starting to look like the real thing with those characteristic grooves and wrinkles. And now that your little genius can regulate his own body temperature and turn up the heat, he'll start shedding lanugo, the downy body hair that's been keeping him warm up until now.

On another news front: Our short-sale of our house went through! This is a much better option than a foreclosure. We are continuing to pray for Sean to get a job as we will be moving out and needing to rent a home. (God has already provided a home to rent!) So what is in my schedule the next coming weeks? Packing, packing and packing. Have any boxes you need to get rid of?

The 3D/4D and graduations galore!

We got a 3D/4D done of Aiden at 28 weeks pregnant. He didn't cooperate that much so we only got a few pictures of him. We get to return for a free re-do in a couple weeks!






Hailey has a double ear infection. :( She had a fever all day yesterday and then it went dangerously high during the night. So, first thing this morning we went to the pediatrician. Yay for Publix who gives out free amoxicillin! I always loved the "pink stuff" when I was a kid. She does too.

Sean is still looking for a job. We are hoping and praying he finds one soon as it is getting closer and closer to when Aiden arrives. Speaking of Sean, he graduated from ICM with his Bachelors in Theology!!! I am so proud of my hubby!




My mom blessed us with a new mattress! We received it yesterday and it feels oh so good. A huge difference from the mattress we have been sleeping on for almost 6 years and was used before that. We have a few weeks to test it out and make sure it is the right "fit" for us but either way, we have a new mattress! Thank you mom!

I must mention that my sister Rachel just graduated from high school Tuesday night! We are extremely proud of her and can't wait to see her blossom as she decides on a career and makes college choices.
