If you think about it please pray for my husband, he has a HUGE interview coming up on Monday at 10am.
I'm totally confident that he will blow them away.
Thanks so much!!!

23 weeks
Week 23: Dancing baby alert!
Fetal development in pregnancy week 23:fetus in sixth month At this point, you’ve pretty much adjusted to the fact you’ve got a moving little gymnast inside of you, but now they’re going to kick up the party a notch because they can hear and react to sounds from the outside world. Sounds from your alarm clock, a thunder roll, or that darned car honking at you across the intersection can actually jar their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent bout of squirming. Of course this also means that their little ears are picking up the sounds of your voice and those near you. So go ahead, sing a lullaby to your little angel—if they start kicking, it’s likely they just want you to stop… or maybe it was a kick of approval? You decide. Their little pink taste buds are still growing and their bones are continuing to ossify (harden). Your baby's tiny veins are visible through their translucent yet wrinkly skin. (Think of it this way: they’ve been swimming in the equivalent of a long hot bath for the past 23 weeks, so you can’t blame them for being a little prune-like.)
I decided my last post had no positive meaning in my baby post.
Today I'm 23 weeks along and our little girl is 1.25 pounds and 1 foot long. She has been moving about the same as the past month, nothing harder yet. I'm really looking so forward to Stephen being able to feel her kick, it's going to be so wonderful.
Today I realized that I miss my coffee so much. Usually I drink one cup a day and an occasional Starbucks, but coffee without caffiene is really no fun at all. Baby come on so I can get my coffee!!! ha
I'm looking more and more pregnant and that's really nice, better than just looking fat. People are always passing you thinking "she looks like she has gained a few pounds", now they can be like "is she pregnant?" It's actually pretty fun because men don't usually ask they just kind of look at you funny. Yes I'm having a baby and yes it will become more evident in the next month.
I don't know if I mentioned this last week but I get to have my Glucose test on the 22nd of Feb, I'm not really dreading it becuase the juice looks really good :) I know I'm wierd.
The blood still freaks me out but hey I feel like a pro at it by now.
Alright that's about it, I'm feeling more tired this week then normally so hopefully it won't get too bad, it's really hard to work all day when all you want to do is sleep, you know what I mean?
I hope you all have a fabulous week and hopefully we will get our camera next week so I can post a picture :)
Have a great weekend
Bad Week
This week started off really rocky has has continued to go down hill from there. Monday started with me being told that Katy and I had to copy 2 years of invoices for one particular job for an audit on Friday. We were told that our job had to be put on hold so we could work directly on this project. Well when you work in accounting cutting checks for suppliers and helping people with phone issues it's extremely hard to just say no. So Katy and I have been working our behinds off trying to get this done. They finally had to bring in a Temp to help us out because it was just too much work for the two of us. I mean come on 2 years of invoices needing to be copied...that's insane. INSANE....we weren't exactly happy with who told us either, lets just say she likes to pass the buck off to others.
This morning I decide to get to work early but wake up with a horrible leg cramp, charlie horse what ever you want to call it. It was HORRIBLE. Needless to say I worked 10 hours with not so much of a lunch break, my back hurts, my feet hurt, and I'm exausted and I get to go do it all over again tomorrow. BLEH this is such a bad week.

Two things I love about being pregnant
1) Everyone thinks your fat is cute, even if you think it just looks like a big fat roll
2) The constant moving of the babe in your belly, even if sometimes it feel like you are on a roller coaster.
Two things that I dislike about being pregnant:
1) The constant running to the bathroom especially when the babe decides its gymnastics time.
2) My feet disapearing little by little from the fat roll that just keeps getting bigger.

22 Weeks and 2 days
Okay so we went to the Dr. yesterday and I found out that my due date is actually May 30th instead of the 31st. So we are 1 day a head of schedule!! Whoo hoo. So I had to change my tickers and all that fun stuff. That's alright though I'm sure she won't be born on her due date.
I'm feeling her move more which is so much fun, and I can't wait for her to kick me harder so that Stephen can feel her too. We had a good apt yesterday, everything looks good, measurement is good, incision is doing very good, so it's exciting. I only have 2 more 4 week apt and then its down to every 2 weeks. The end is quickly approaching. I also got an ultra sound so I'll post all those fun pictures at the end of this post. We most definetely have a girl on our hands. We also get another ultrasound at 32 weeks so thats nice. She did say that because of my incision and scar tissue the 3D probably won't work for us, it was hard to get these pictures yesterday. Stephen is bummed about that, but we will see, maybe it will work out.
I'm tired this week, not used to getting up at 5:45 and working 8-9 hours a day, but I'm sure the body will get back into the hang of things.
Well I need to get to work just wanted to give you a heads up at 22 weeks. I'm still waiting for the camera but it's still in production so it probably won't get here til the 1st or 2nd week of Feb, and at that time I'll post you guys a belly shot. :)
Have a good weekend!!!

Such a GREAT day!!
Alright so today was my first day back at work after being off for 2 weeks. I was a little worried about it last night when I had such a hard time getting and staying a sleep. But this morning I got there and felt great. I only had 4 Tylenol the whole day and just really enjoyed the day. My co-worker/friend filled in for me the last two weeks and she did an AMAZING job. I came back and I wasn't overwhelmed by all the work I had to do. She kept up with it along with hers even though she worked almost 70 hours for the past 2 weeks. I love her so much! Ha
So needless to say I did what I had to do and I didn't feel like I couldn't handle it. I praise Him for such a good day. I haven't taken any medicine since 12 and i'm still feeling pretty good, a little tired and a little pain, but it's all worth it right?
Some other good news that I'm so excited about is that Stephen and I decided we needed a camera for the little addition coming in 4 months so as our Valentine/Anniversary present we bought a digital camera. I'm so excited, its going to be so awesome having a camera to take those precious first pictures of our sweet Addyson. We bought it from Dell and got a great deal on it, I'm a little sad though that it won't arrive until the first week of February, but hopefully they are faster then what the email says. Oh well, it will all be worth it in the end. So you will be getting belly shots as soon as we get it in the mail.
I was bored over the time off so I went exploring on other people's blogs, I hope they don't mind....I just connected through someone elses. Anyways the person that I found was quite interesting and she has a post for almost every week of pregnancy, and I really enjoyed hearing everything so that's my goal to start blogging everytime I start a new week, just to journal what's going on and how I'm feeling. It will be nice to go back and look at it one day. Too bad I couldn't take a picture every week.
Also it was great, on the way to work today Addyson started moving and kicking so we had our own little conversation before the day began. I told her that she needed to make sure not to drive like all the crazies on the road and that she should drive like her mommy because sometimes her daddy goes to fast. It was so wonderful to have that time just talking to her. I love feeling her move. It's the most amazing feeling in the world.
To think in 4 months or so give or take a week or to we will be holding our precious baby.
Okay so I thought I would blog all my feelings for today. I'm going to go help Stephen with dinner, I'm feeling so great!!!
Tonight is Hero's and 24, I'm a little bummed it's on at the same time but we will just have to record Hero becuase I'm not waiting to watch 24.
I hope you all have a fabulous week, until Thursday my friends.

21 weeks today!!
I can't believe I'm 21 weeks today, only 19 left, wow, I'm so anxious to see our baby girl and the time just seems to be going by so fast. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy the last 19 weeks more than the first 21. Isn't it just the most exciting time thinking about what she will look like, smell like, and just how beautiful she is going to be. Oh my I get emotional just thinking about her. I can't wait to see you my precious baby girl Addyson Faith.
Today I get my staples out, yes I'm thrilled to get them out, I'm really looking forward to the healing process after these 20-30 staples are removed from my stomach, they annoy me. I was supposed to get them out on Tuesday but the weather turned so I had to wait til today. Plus in one week from today Stephen and I get to go back to the Dr for another ultrasound, and Stephen will actually get to see her since he missed the first one I got. We are so excited about that, only one more week.
I just can't believe how the time is going by, probably because of everything that has gone on.
This week has been extremely boring, I'm resting like I'm supposed to but I feel like I'm in a blah world all day long. If I see another NIT(Everest)"Money wasn't tight but it wasn't right if you know what I mean" commercial i'm going to go through the TV screen and strangle him. I've actually considered being a medical assistant since it seems so easy....
I'm not a DEAD BEAT I'm just recouperating!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to get back to work and use some of my brain power instead of just guessing the answers on Family Fued or siding with people on Divorce Court. LOL
Anyways it's been relaxing but I'm ready to get back to my normal life. I have seen Stephen for lunch every day, he comes home to check on me and eat lunch, so that's been nice. Katy is just ready to have me back at work, so Monday here I come!!!!
Alright well I guess I'm going to get a shower so I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week.
Melissa, you are so close to having your baby, I can't wait to see pictures of him and hear of your experience of birth. Every day you are one more day closer to seeing your precious son.
THE COMMERCIAL CAME ON AGAIN, SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THE TORTURE!!!!
PS: I want to get you a belly picture but that will wait until these staples are out and you will only get a side view, you won't be able to see my scar that way. LOL

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't think I've ever been in so much pain in my life.
I just thought you all wanted to know that.
Also after all this I'm sure even if I decide to have Addyson al la natural it won't be as painful as what i'm going through.
That is all
I'm tired

An update
Hey guys, I'm back!!
I actually just got to my parents house about an hour ago.
I'll catch y ou all up to date.
I'm a little tired so be easy on my grammer and spelling.
Tuesday I went in about 11:15 and got all set up in the room, changed, got my IV in and heard the baby's heartbeat. I was doing good until they started wheeling me into the OR and when Stephen and my mom had to stop following me I just couldn't stop the tears from flowing....so I get to the OR and they sit me up getting me ready for my spinal which really freaked me out so of course my anxiety came back and I started up with the tears again....the nurses were great they just really took care of me and tried to get me to relax...before I knew it I was lying down again and everything started getting distant. That was the last thing I heard and saw before I woke up to extreme pain frommy belly down. the first thing I asked was did we have the baby's heart beat, can I hear it, and I'm still pretty much out of it but I heard the nurses saying it was a good sign becuase I knew where I was at. So then we got the heartbeat which was hard because she was hiding behind my incision but we did find her. Then I told them I was in so much pain so they gave me some stuff that really helped. I got to my room and found out I had had the surgery and was in recovery for an hour before I actually woke up.
At that point I was hurting but not bad at all, I thought I was doing good. I'm not good with medicine names but it was through my IV and it was dopomean or something like that. Mostly I was in and out of sleep along with visitors Tuesday evening, and we got to hear the heart beat like every couple hours. Each time I was nervous because she was hiding behind my incision but we found her and she was moving so much...I actually can feel her now so it realy helped me cope with everything. By Wednesday I was in more pain but getting up and walking and feeling good about everything. I will say when I looked down at my incision I freaked out...its above my bellybutton all the way down, so it hurts to have anything touching it. By yesterday evening they had to stop giving me the IV medicine and start Vicaden (sp?) That didnt work very well and I was feeling like I was going to throw up and this was about the time Pastor came in to pray for me. It was not a good time. Anyways last night I had Vicaden again and didnt' sleep much, had aches and pains and just couldn't sleep very mucb. By this morning I was ready to go home...so the Dr came in scheduled me for an apt to get my staples out for Tuesday and said I could go home around noon. It was actually easier then I thought because the nurses and doctors were extremely nice and helpful I just loved having them around. I do have to say Wednesday morning I got woken up about every two hours and even had blood drawn at 3:30, yeah it was crazy. Stephen stayed with me the whole time and my mom came up every day to help. Right now i'm trying to get used to Vicaden, I'm not sure if I like it, but it does help a little. But it's nice to be out of the hospital bed and all the tubes and here where I'm around my family. I couldn't of done it without everyone's prayers and loving support. I'm sure its' going to be an interesting couple weeks but I know everything will be okay, God will give me energy and take away the pain. thanks again for everyone who kept me in your prayers on Tuesday, it was by far one of the scariest things I've ever gone through but my little girl is safe and she is moving all around....I can't wait to see her!!!
Tht'ats it for now, i'm tired and hurting nad waiting for more medicine. But I have a picture to show you all of what the cyst looked like, I wasn't about to have this thing taken out without getting to see what's been growing inside of me. Tell me what you think. It was about 18-19 Cm Take a look at this sucker
Love you all
