It's very late and I'm still up

It's all b/c I got Brook's baby bedding in. I seen it on my steps when I came home from church tonight. Of course while waiting for Ray to come home...I started putting it all together in the crib. It's so beautiful. I had stuff stacked up that Ray had to carry to the office downstairs and am slowly dividing the room that Logan and Brook will share. Tried removing the supposedly "removeable" truck and car stickers we had put on the wall for part of Logans decoration....I gave up. Ray finished the project. Needless to say...will most def have to paint. I'm thinking of doing one wall and a half the pink color in her bedding. Then Logans side of room...in another color. I don't know what color....he has elmo bedding. (in another blog) Most def will not be red on the walls.

So since I've been doing all that stuff in the room...i'm now awake when I should be sleeping. Ray is all snuggled in bed. Logan is staying the night with g-ma.
I'm thinking of putting up the tree until I have to meet Ray's mom to get Logan tomorrow...or rather it's today already since it's so late. Who knows. Depends on how late I sleep in.

"THE" Bedding

So here is the picture of what Little Brook's bedding outfit will be. I purchased on ebay. Through a boutique shop called Jo Jo Designs. It's really awesome. They all new stuff. Boy's and girls, and actual kid bedding...it's beautiful. I love this bed set and very proud that I got it for such a cheap price......drum roll please.....$112.00!

For a nine pc set!

It's a GIRL

I'm so excited and Thankful to God to announce that I am having a GIRL.


It was definitly a cheeseburger and no french fry present...lol


So now the dresses I bought, well they are hanging in the closet. :)


I can begin to look for the stroller, bedding, and all the PINK stuff I can find.


I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am. I'm so blessed and oh man it's just totally awesome.


Daddy is pretty excited too and laughed b/c I cried during the ultrasound while looking


at my little Apostolic girly in my tummy. She is beautiful. Everything that they looked at was perfect.





Here she is...Brooklynn Lauren McFall

She looks as if she is praying b/c she has her hands clasped together. But really she was trying to get her thumb in her mouth.

She had the hiccups during the U-sound. How cute is that?

Anyways....I'm blessed and so excited.

Four more days until...

I have another ultrasound scheduled for Friday. I find out that for sure it's a girl. lol
Hubby says were going to be surprised b/c it's def a boy.
Macy's had an awesome one day sale and I got some things for Logan and two little Ralph Lauren dresses for little Brooklynn. I can't wait to have her and see her in them. I've done told Mother-in law that we will not be putting pants on this baby at all. So she showed me the cutest things she bought from her Gatlinburgh trip just a week ago. They are soooo cute. All purple and pink. lol

I have to admit that I've had some fear about this pregancy. For obvious reasons. But no more. I got a word from God last service and I'm going to trust Him. He said Fear Not. So each day I tell myself the same thing. This baby isn't as active as Logan was. Definitly way more laid back. But today she moved quite a bit.

I've got bronchitis yet again. Not as bad as before b/c I've caught it early. I started the z-pak today. It hurts my stomach something fierce. Does it do that to everyone? Anyways, I want to be over this before my lovely trip to KEY WEST!!!!

Yes Thanksgiving is just a couple days away. I think we are going to do some work around the house (touch up painting, putting up tile backsplash, moving furniture around) My hubby has quite a long honey do list. But I'm happy to report that the downstairs looks fabulous. I've helped him work on the garage, and we did what needed to be done downstairs. It's such a relief.

That's all for now. I will be sure to post about T-day and U-day.

Ouch!

I've pulled my back out, twice. Once Sat and again sunday morning. It's feeling better now, but still having some pain. I wasn't doing anything I wasn't supposed to do. I was actually just bending over and POP. Nothing can be done really since I'm preggers, so I'm enduring the pain.

I've switched doctors and I've met the only guy one in the group. They were all extremly nice and even gave Logan a pop-cicle. I've got an ultrasound visit scheduled for the day after Thanksgiving, 23rd. I'm super excited about that and cannot wait to see my baby girl again.
The little Tommy girl dresses I bought are now hanging in the closet along with a dress Sis Lori and mom gave to me. Pink of course. lol
If we confirm that it's a girl, I've decided to do the room in Pink and Brown. Now that can change, but for now, that's what I've decided on.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I'm glad. We aren't doing anything real big like normal. I'm making Turkey Breasts and all the fixings. Ray's mom has to work and my brother has made other plans. So it looks like it's just Ray Ray and Logan and myself.

Yesterday I didn't even really have any appetite, but today I've seemed to have been starving all day. Like now, it's time for bed, but I'm wondering if there is something I could make quickly. Nothing seems to sound good. Have I mentioned yet my weight gain? I'm in the five months stage according to my expecting book. (weeks 18-22) Since my due date has been changed to April 8th (which means I got preggers on tues) I'm 19 weeks tomorrow. Right? Have to look at calender to be sure. lol I've gained almost 6 pounds. The doctor said that is really great. I think with Logan I had gained about 20 by now. My goal is to gain only 20 pounds the whole pregnancy. We will see....I hope to have another 6 pound baby ( logan was 6.9 pounds) It's nice having a small baby.

Speaking of Logan...he's getting so big. He wants me to pick him up like normal, but with my sore back it's been hard. He loves his mommy and I find myself loving him like crazy. It's amazing how much love you will feel for your kids. When he gets in my lap and lays his head on my chest...ahhh it's totally awesome. Makes ya want to cry. The kid loves bath time and if anyone is taking a shower or bath...he has to join. Absolutely loves water.
He's talking more and more. This morning I was color coding my closet again (had to be re-done) and putting away clothes for after the pregnancy and he was picking up hangers. He's always helping, or trying to at least. I told him good job. He repeated it plain as day.
I'm thinking of buying him a little drum set b/c he loves playing. He always has either two spoons or something in each hand banging away on something. He sits in our drummers lap after church or during practice sometimes and loves the drums.

Well I'm tired and it's near 11. going to bed. though the baby has started moving around again...so maybe not.

Right around 18 weeks...

I was going to post about my doc visit, but I have to say it wasn't the nice experience that I was expecting. Being pregnant should be a joy. Going into an appt for your ultrasound should be great ya know.
I was so excited about going in. We waited 40 mins and finally I couldn't hold my tinkle any longer. Coming out of the restroom, the U tech lady told me that per her calculations I wasn't 18 weeks yet and she didn't want to do the ultrasound. Now what? I told them that we had no prob with the ultrasound with my son at 16 weeks found out what he was. Ya know.
They are the ones who sceduled me for the appt! Duh! The last few visits haven't been nice at all. The doctor, whom shall be nameless, is majorly arrogant. Who needs the added stress. Everyone has a bad day, but I've had enough of the junk they've been trying to feed me.
The last visit I waited for over an hour half before the doc decided to show up at the office. Popped into my room for oh maybe two mins and didn't even do the registering of the heartbeat right. The machine never registered the number b/c he didn't put it on the baby! He rambled off oh it's about 150. When uh last time the baby heartbeat was 167. Come on people. He had me so flustered and aggravated that I didn't even get the chance to question him and ughhh he was out of the room in no time. I was supposed to sign some paper saying I refused the blood work scan. Never happened. I ended up signing it when I came in for this last visit. B/c the U tech lady was so mad that I asked them to do the ultrasound, it was real crappy. She said we couldn't see the heart chamber...uh that's a lie. I've been preg 5 times now, and I've had many ultrasounds. I saw the heart chamber on this ultrasound and I've seen it in previous U-sounds.
She knew we wanted to get the sex of the baby. This baby lays with her back to my stomach. But there are ways to get the baby to roll over. She did push once to do that and it started rolling over but b/c she didn't continue to do so, we only got a partial view of the baby sex. Then when she moved the belly thing it was gone and she printed that pic! Now how aggravating is that!? Not to mention They refused to schedule my next u-visit b/c they wanted to talk to the doc first. It's likely I will be 8 months pregnant before I would find out the sex.
It looks to be a girl. Yes if it truly is, I'm to be super excited and preparing to buy all PINK!
I was so aggravated as was my hubby, and mother-in-law, that I got home and contacted my insurance comp. I got a complete list of new OB docs. I talked to an office that ended up being not far from my house. They were very nice and understanding when I explained the situation.
Not to mention I now have a doc visit the 8th of this month. Then within two weeks after, will have my next Ultrasound. This is a woman doc, whom I will feel much more comfortable with. I will still be delivering at St. E south.
I'm holding off on buying anything PINK until after that visit. But it's killing me to do so! lol

Other news...since NY trip didn't happen, I'm happy to report the Hubby and I will be going to Key West FL. Blue water, white sand, 70 degree weather (even in dec), hotel room, fresh seafood....oh man!
It's going to be like a honeymoon, since we didn't have one when we got married. Got a really good deal on the trip. It will be Dec 9-14th I think it is.

Well I'm off to bed. Should already be in bed considering church tom morning. But I took advantage of the extra hour we get by turning our clocks back.

Oh and I've gained 4 pounds so far. My belly has rounded out very nicely. They baby is moving and last night head butted my cervix twice. Guess logan sitting on my lap wasn't giving her much room. lol Had to shift him around. Logan used to headbutt me in the cervix all the time. In the ultrasound once I had with him the lady doing the Usound thought it was funny. I didn't b/c it hurts! lol
Ok...night

Here's whats new

I find out tomorrow at 9:20 am what I'm having! Yipppeee! I can't tell you how excited I am.

Logan is talking more and more lately. So I figured by the time he is two, he should be carrying on a conversation with me or anyone else.

Since I didn't make it to NY, Ray and I just planned a trip last night. (more me planning then him)
He refuses to do a passport, so we couldn't go to Cabo San Lucas Mexico like we talked about.
Instead we are going to Key West Florida.
Dec 9-12th. It will be our honey moon since we never got one. Gatlinburgh on the church vacation was sort of a honeymoon, but this one will be a real one.
I've looked up the average weather, and it's mid seventy's that time of year. I'm hoping to not be too much bigger then what I am now. it's not the tourist time, so it should be easy to enjoy all there is to offer.

Last night was Halloween. Even though I don't celebrate it, Ray does. So he sat outside on the steps handing out candy to all the kids. Him and Logan ate more then there share I'm sure. Logan woke early this morning with a belly ache. Has since then pooed twice and now if finally down for a nap about 30 mins ago.

Will post if I'm Having a boy or a girl......ahhhhhh! There should be a picture I can post too.
