wow did i read right, my ticker says there's 10 days until Thanksgiving? wow!! it was Halloween it seems. that also means it's only 14 days until Branson's 5th birthday, oh jeez i'm so not ready for that!! i think it's going to be worse than a child's first birthday. he got a new "big boy" seat last friday and now he thinks he's something since he can climb in and out by himself and buckle and unbuckle.
Jaxon has also been a total ham! he's learning so much and his speech really has exploded lately. he completely understands 'yes' & 'no' and exactly when he needs to use them. he repeats everything you tell him, he can understand and follow simple directions. he's really impressed me. i don't remember Branson being that able to communicate that well at his age. he comprehended a lot he just couldn't express it. now if we can just get the potty training thing started we'd be pretty set!
now for the 'official' baby update. i had my diagnostic scan last week to measure her and see how everything looked. Kelly said everything looked good, oh yeah and that she was still in fact 100% a girl haha. she measured me at 20 weeks 5 days and i was 20 weeks 6 days. her weight was 13 oz, which is small. weight and measurements are 2 different things. just like Branson was born at 34 weeks weighing 4lbs 7 oz, 18" long and when i had my ultrasound done at NE with Jaxon at 34 weeks he was 3lbs 9oz. and was born at 5lbs 10oz, 18" long. so the only way i'll know her true size compared to them is either she's born at 34 weeks or i have a scan done at 34 weeks. she feels little to me, i've said that all along. i don't expect her to be big and honestly i don't want her to be big! so many people think big fat chunky roll babies are just oh so cute, well not me or matt. "big" to us is 6lbs. i prefer my small babies and it would be really hard for me to even have a baby over 6lbs anyway even the dr has said that. so to all of those that just keep on & on about well "i had.... and they were.... so you never know...." seriously just keep your comments to yourself. i really am truly sick of it. that is you, not me. i know my body VERY well, the one dr i do trust knows it very well also. also past history is a good indicator of present actions. which means it's been proven TWICE before that i have preterm labor and problems so i really wished everyone would STOP saying "well maybe this time will be different, you don't know that" how many more flippin kids do i have to have to prove that it does NOT get better with me. it only gets harder and worse. as i just said, keep your comments to yourself. this pregnancy my filter doesn't work to well and i am not in any mood for anyone's bull. but enough of that...
her room is coming together nicely. omg it is so gorgeous i just love it!! i painted it this weekend and i still just couldn't get over that i was actually painting something not blue or green. it still just doesn't seem real. although i'm not questioning my ultrasounds anymore i just doesn't seem as real with her as the boys. at least i've finally stopped throwing up for the most part. i'm still smaller with her than the boys too. but i'm so glad to have the major parts of her room done. now all i need is a few little decorations and her bedding and then her :)
oh yes, she's definitely still a girl :)
comparing her & Jaxon. i was definitely much bigger with him
her beautiful room that i already want to spend all of my time in. i'm constantly walking in there looking at it through the day like "is this really happening??"
do i look like my big brother? mommy doesn't think so
this week matt & i are planning another no kids day so we can go get some birthday presents and decorations for a little 5 yr old and start on some Christmas shopping. gosh i can't believe it's almost here! because after Christmas that means it won't be long until she arrives. it seems like forever away until she gets here too.
