Leo's lil corner of the world...

First and foremost, the armoire that my hubby began building for Owen and has now finished for Leo. :) It turned out beautifully and I love it!!



The armoire and the crib, along with some decorating tidbits. :)



Yep, the lil man has a ton of stuff already!! This is just the stuff that was in my closet. He still has a bunch more stuff in the basement!!




My most favorite finishing touch........Angel Owen sitting atop the armoire that daddy built for both of his boys, watching over his baby brother, Leo. LOVE!!

Time is going fast. Our lil guy will be here soon and we pray that he truly is healthy and all goes well with labor and delivery.

Love,

December is here....

I am 30 weeks today!! :)

I am doing well and so is baby Leo. He is quite the mover and hiccuper!! He gets them at least 3 times a day!! I had a checkup last Friday and he is measuring a smidge big, was head down at the appt, and I am starting my two weeks appts. Holy cow!! That makes it all seem so........close.

Although things are ok with Leo, I still have a hard time believing its real, that Im really going to bring home a baby this time. I guess after what I went through with my angel Owen, that is perfectly understandable. Sometimes, I find myself slipping up and calling Leo by Owens name. Its such a weird thing, being pregnant with a baby, going to the hospital and having that baby, and then not bringing that baby home. It messes with your head a bit. I know that my Owen is in Heaven watching over us, but sometimes my mind gets confused. Im sure once I see Leo's little face looking at me, everything will fall into place and make sense. I look so forward to that day!! Leo Russell Owen, I cant wait to meet you!! Angel Owen is watching over his baby brother and namesake, keeping him safe. <3

Enjoy this Christmas season with your families and remember to live each day to its fullest!!

Halfway, baby!!!! :)

Today marks 20 weeks!!! Halfway!!! Woohooo!!! :)

To update and catch yall up to speed, I had my Level II ultrasound and baby is a HE and he is healthy!!!! Hubby and I couldnt stop smiling after we left the Perinatalogists office.

Speaking of the Peri's office. I had to go to the same place I did with Owen. Remember Dr. Dickhead? Yeah, he was standing right beside the receptionist when I walked in. I was like, really?? Then, when we were talking with the super nice nurse, she told us that we would be seeing Dr. Dickhead today. I started crying and said no, we are supposed to see the other doctor, they promised I could see the other doctor. She said the other doctor was on vacation. Ugh. I explained to her our experience last time with the Dickhead. I think after she left us she went and told him because he was kissin my butt!! lol The Ultrasound Tech was fabulous!! Dr. Dickhead only popped in long enough to see if I wanted an amnio to which hubby and I said in unison NO! The tech let us know everything she saw and said everything looked good and she had no reason to be concerned. Dr. Dickhead met with us after she was done and gave us the doom and gloom speech he always does about how we wont know for sure unless we do an amnio. We stuck to our guns and said no. He said he would like to see us again in 4 weeks to make sure baby is growing. But then......as we were walking out he said we really didnt have to come back if we didnt want to. So, does that mean he feels confident that baby is ok based on the Level II we just had, or that he knows we cant stand him? lmao I dont know but I dont think we are going back. My OBs have a machine in their office and they will know the measurements from the Level II and can compare it.

Oh, I bet yall wanna know babys name, huh?? Ok, it is.......Leo Russell Owen __________. :) It brings tears to my eyes each time I see it because Leo's big brother Owen got to have his name as a middle name. Thats a big thing for me and my childrens middle names.

So, thats where we are at!! :)

Til next time....

XOXO

17 weeks :)

Weve had a bit of a weather shift and it was actually cold today!!! 66!!! Gasp!!! lol I had on two shirts, jeans (Yes, they are maternity, but they are skinny jeans!! lol They didnt fit me with Owen. WOOT!!!), knee socks, and my tall Uggs!!! Brrr!!! I dont think my bump is any bigger than last week, but I took the pic, so what the heck, why not post it? ;)

Til next time....

XOXO,

Pregnancy pics thus far :)

This one was taken at my first appointment and also on the day we got the ultrasound done. I am 12 weeks in this pic. :)

This was taken today. I am creepin up on 16 weeks. These are actually not maternity jeans!! Gotta love low rise!!!!!! lol

I am feeling little bumps every now and then. Im thinkin "hes" givin those long legs of his a stretchin!!

Some folks have asked me if I have names picked out. Umm, yes, but you should know by now that I dont share that info until much later!!!

Im feeling good and pray each day that baby is healthy. Thats all I want!!

Til next time....

First pic of the lil one....

"Hes" just chillin and loungin around. :) This was 12 weeks and "he" is measuring 13 weeks. What long legs he has!! :)

SURPRISE!! :)

Well, as you know, I use a picture to go along with my blog of the moment. I think this picture pretty much sums it all up without writing anything.......but, I will anyway. ;)
We are expecting a baby in February!! :) This baby was planned, in case you were wondering. lol
We had an ultrasound last week and everything looks as it should for this date in the pregnancy. Baby is measuring a week ahead which is awesome. My tummy is also measuring a week ahead. I guess we are both just overachievers. ;)
I have a Midwife and three OBs that I am seeing and they are all very nice, caring, and compassionate, and although I will miss my former doctor so much, I feel this is a great trade off.
We will have a Level II ultrasound in a couple of months with a Perinatalogist. They will look at every single part of baby in great detail. We are hoping and praying that we get great news.
I know that yall were with me on last years journey, and I hope that you will still be by my side for this one. I love yall and I couldnt be strong without your support.
I am feeling different with this pregnancy, more like my first three. Ive been queasy, Ive thrown up, Ive been exhausted, Ive cried at the silliest things. That, along with the very good ultrasound we got last week, gives me a great deal of hope that this baby will be ok. :)

I guess thats all. :)

Til next time...

XOXO
