Summer Fun

Well it has been a long time since I have posted any pictures so I have quite a bit to add. It has been quite an eventful Summer. Brent and Marti came to visit. We took Brent to the Science Museum and both of them to Gameworks. Marti and I baked my first homemade apple pie, sorry the picture is of it half eaten :) Coytt has learned to love the water and has become quite the fish. He loves to put on his swimming suit and go to the pool. We took Coytt to his first MLB game with Mark's childhood buddy Rickey GO D-BACKS!! And now we are just loving hanging out with eachother and visiting with family. I wish we were headed to SJ for the 24th but with all my contractions and stuff I am nervous of what the altitude change will do to me, so we will be staying home this year, but we hope everyone else that goes has fun.



Mark taught Brent how to make Texas Party Burgers. It was so cute watching them and listening to Mark explain every little step including washing hands and cleaning up the mess as you go.



Coytt loved the science museum and wanted to try everything and push all the buttons.

Future Pilot?

Coytt Dancing

Well it turns out Coytt like his mother loves to dance. He has learned how to change the radio station until he finds something he likes and then he just dances around the room. He will even get up and start dancing if a comercial on TV has music. It is so cute to watch him stop what he is doind and just start to boogey around the room. One video is vertical because of the way we were holding the camera, and I don't know how to rotate it, sorry.

...and the Dr. Said

Well I went to the Dr. today and it was a pretty eventful visit. I had my glucose test and that went fine, except my iron is low so they did a full blood test to measure my blood count more completely. Baisically I need more green veggies and iron suplements for now until the results come back and the Dr. knows more. Next we of course checked the heartbeat and like always Dalon kicked hard enough that the doppler lifted off my belly. Dr. Kimbro laughed and looked pretty surprised to see such a strong kicker. After everything checked out ok with the heartbeat we discussed whether I should have another C-section or not, and we decided that I should. Mainly becuase the reason I had one with Coytt is becuase he didn't progress, and since I did actually push and he still didn't progress she said that this baby probably wouldn't either. Baisically I can't push babies out on my own so surgery is pretty much necessary. So we scheduled the C-section for September 26th. I can't believe it is only 11 weeks away. I told Dr. Kimbro about the contractions and she checked me and it turns out I do need to take it easy becuase I am 50% effaced and his head is down. She is running some tests to see if any of the labor hormones are present and when we get those results she will let me know what action to take. For now she just said to take it easy and not push myself too hard. That's all for now. We are excited to have an actual date and that the baby is doing well and growing properly. We will keep ya'll posted.

Good News

I got the contractions under control! I can now get out of bed and do some stuff around the house. I just can't go shopping becuase when I push the grocery cart or walk to long they start up again. So I may be confined to the house, but at least I can get out of bed. Hopefully I can keep them under control for the next 10 weeks or so.

Bedrest Bummer

Well looks like this baby thinks it is time to be here already. Yesterday I started having pretty bad contractions and now standing or sitting up for too long cause them to start, so I along with stong directions from my mom have restricted myself to the bed. I can't even get up to go potty without my stomach starting to get tight and contract, so I am being very careful to stay down as much as possible. I still have 12 weeks to go, but he can come safely in 10, hopefully I won't be down the whole time, and I can get control of it, but if I am I will definately need some good reading sugestions, and if you are bored feel free to call or stop by, I am sure I will be bored of being a bedrest bum pretty quickly. Mark is a great help and is taking care of Coytt and making sure I stay down, but outside company is always welcome. Well I better get back to the bed, even this short time at the computer is starting the pains, so I will have to go lie down until Mark is here to type for me. (That sweetheart is out doing the grocery shopping and getting everything ready for lunch and dinner). I will keep ya'll updated on what's going on and what the Dr. says after the holiday and I see her.
