1 week

Ok so I am finally down to one week left before my baby comes. I can not tell you how excited I am to have a wee one again and to no longer be pregnant!!!! I am to the point that there is one position I can sleep in that doesn't cause pain in my hip or back but it does cause pain in my neck lol. Lately Gracelyn has been hitting nerves in my legs that almost cause me to drop. It is the most uncomfortable feeling ever. Allie and Trevor never torchured me like this. I can't wait to see which one of us she looks most like. i sure hope that Trevor will be understanding to the fact that the baby will have to take his place at being held all the time. HE HE HE the next post will probably be baby pictures.

Dentist

So our kiddos went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. Allie did very good at sitting still and getting the x rays done. The lady was very impressed with her. When Trevor finally got in the x ray chair he sat so very still and she put the "blanket" as she calles it, on Trevor and told him she was going to take a picture of his nose. Then she got the film all ready and told him to open his mouth. He looked at it for a while then finally opened his mouth. she put it in his mouth and told him to bite down but he wanted to hold it with his lips instead. She kept telling him to bite down and he finally shook his head and said "uh uh, no mo" and he pulled the vest thing off him. After they were done with the x-rays we went into another room and Allie sat down in the chair to get her teeth brushed with bubble gum toothpaste. As she got her mouth rinsed out with the water she got sprayed in the face due to the water pressure. She was nervous after that to get her mouth rinsed again she kept moving her feet side to side. She got to watch a barbie movie while she was waiting for the dentist and had headphones on. She would laugh out loud at the funny parts of the movie. The dentist said that she has excellent teeth but that she must have bumped her front tooth because he could see nerve damage in the x-ray. They put "finding Nemo" on for trevor to watch while he got his teeth brushed but he barely layed down in the chair and there was no way he was going to get his mouth looked at. We had to sit him on my lap facing me and lay him back on the dentists lap to get his teeth looked at and brushed. The dentist said that Trevor is a litttle stubborn and it is hard to get his teeth clean and we need to work on his a little more when brushing.

Elmer

Our dog has had a hard winter this year. His health has deteriorated and he doesn't run and jump and act like the hyper dog we know him to be. This past week has been very hard. He stopped all together. No eating, drinking, walking, barking, or wagging of his cute little tail. It was sad to have to tell Allie that elmer went to live with Jesus. We have had him for six years. He was my very first baby. Trevor was always getting in the closet to give elmer a bone or dog treat. Sometimes he tried to feed him his vegetables but Elmer disliked veggies as much as Trevor does. He loved to play in the backyard with the kids and fetch anything we would throw for him. Visitors were his favorite cause that would mean more hands to pet and scratch him behind the ears. We love and miss him and his cute ears (always one up and one down).

The Count Down Begins

I went to the Dr on the 25th of Jan and he informed me that Gracelyn is right on target for her due date. He then asked me if I would like to be induced early....What is a girl supposed to say to that? HELLO! OF COURSE I WANT TO BE INDUCED EARLY!!!!!! He said lets look at the calendar and see what day will work. I then informed him that the next day would work for me. Of course I got the lecture on how the hospital will only allow expecting mothers to be induced a week early. Then he said that a week early would be March 15th. I told him then March 15th it is. So now i have one less week of pregnancy and I am hoping my water breaks before that so I can go even earlier.....At the same time I want my baby to be healthy enough to not need machines to keep her alive so I must learn Patience!
