I went to the Dr today. Zoey and I are both doing good. Her heart rate was 155. I gained 7 pounds!!! Ug. I am so ready to start losing weight!!! I plan to lose around 100 pounds once she gets here and I get the OK from the doc.
Zoey is moving around a lot these days. But she sleeps at night, so that makes me happy :) I just have to get up 2-3 times a night to potty. I have been getting leg cramps too. Those are no fun. But for the most part, still no complaints. Well, besides these dern HOT FLASHES!!! I may only have to go through 1 month of summer, but I am going to be sweating like a witch on trial in Salem! lol.
We are getting everything in order around the house. Trying to get closets cleaned out and the play room rearranged, the back porch in order, etc..... I want to get on a schedule (for cleaning) before Zoey gets here so that we don't get overwhelmed with everything. I am so grateful that my mom and sister are right next door because I know that I am going to be very dependant on them for a little while. Levette is doing great with the housework and dinner and all but I know he will be just as overwhelmed as I will be.
Speaking of, Levette will be having (minor) surgery on Monday. So, keep him in your prayers. He is very excited about it. Also, he has quit smoking!! I am so proud of him. The Dr told him it would help him out with recovery if he would stop smoking. And he had always promised, when we have a baby he would stop. He was smoking about a pack a day, then he cut to 10, 8, 6, 4 and now 0!!! Its only day 2, but he is doing good. I know some days will be better than others. But regardless, I am very proud of my dear husband.
Well, I guess that is all for now. I go back to the Dr March 22. I have to do my glucose test :( yucky!! Pray I pass!!!!
Lots of love from me and Zoey!!!

24 weeks, tomorrow
I can not believe that I will be 6 months pregnant tomorrow!! Where has the time gone? It seems like I just found out yesterday!
Zoey is moving so much these days. I am not sleeping that great bc I cant get comfy. I am a stomach sleeper, and obviously I cant lay on my stomach. The body pillow isn't helping much either. I have been having a lot of cramps in my legs and butt. So, I have started drinking more water, and it has helped. I believe I was getting dehydrated.
Other than that, everything has been great. The clothes are continuing to get tighter :( My pants are cutting the circulation off now. Not good. So, Levette is supposed to take me shopping the first of next week.
So, as you can see I posted a new ultrasound pic :) No, Zoey isn't shrinking! lol That is my bff's little "Gidget". She finally got to go to the Dr today. She is 7 weeks and 4 days. Her due date is.... 9/27!!! My birthday! Yeah!!!! I am super excited. I think it is a girl. Her name will be Bridget, so that is why I call her Gidget. Gidget and Zoey will be bffs. I absolutely can not wait.
This is really going to be the best year ever! So many great things are happening. God is so good. I know that there are still many more wonderful things to come. Please keep a friend of mine in special prayers. God knows her problems and her wants and needs. He will provide.
I guess that is all the update for now!!! I don't go back to the Dr until the 22nd, so I may not update til then!!

finally!!!!
The nursery is finally finished!! The only thing we have to left to do, is get the bedding, put new socket covers on, clean the carpets, get a bookcase and hang a couple of pics :) It looks fabulous. I keep going in there and sitting on the lounger. Zoey is going to love it. I cant wait to bring her home to it.

Sewing.......
So, for some reason I have totally been wanting to sew. Not that I can or am good at it! I never took home ec in school. And mom never taught me to sew. So I kind of taught myself a few years ago. I have no clue if I am even doing it right!!! lol. Anyways. I have been all about making the baby some "pillows". The first one turned out waaaay too small. So I decided to make a few more of those and make my own crib mobile! The second one turned out cuter. But its more of a stuffed animal than a pillow. But I love it. Hopefully Zoey will too. And hopefully it wont fall apart!!! I hope to do lots more sewing in the future. :) Maybe I will learn how to really sew and maybe use a machine. Enjoy!
