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

24 Rocks!!!

24 premiers tonight, it's a 2 hour eppy.....if you have never watched it before you need to start. It's so addicting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay it's back on....hope you all had a great weekend.

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

Plewwwww

I'm so tired

God is good!

God is good!! I just found out that instead of 3 weeks Paid Time off (PTO) I have 4 weeks PTO. They changed it this year and since I've starting working my 5th year I get an extra week.
I can breathe a little easy...Thank you LORD!!!

Please Help

Okay so I need help. I want to change to the private blogger but how do I invite people to be able to view it? Can I still add people without their email address??? I have no idea what to do.
Please help!!!

Changing to Private

Hey guys, I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year.
I'm going to change my blog up and restrict "outsiders" from reading my post. I figure I have a little babe coming and I will be posting lots of pictures so I want to keep the freaks away.
So if you want to be able to continue reading it please email me your email address at this email address that I have set up Texanchic19@yahoo.com and I will add you.
Don't be shy, even if you know me through someone else just let me know and I'll be glad to add you.

I also wanted to tell all of you that are praying for us thank you very much. That means the world to me, as the days are counting down til Tuesday. I know everything is going to be fine, I'm just scared of surgery, but hey who isn't. Anyways thank you for thinking about us and the continued prayer and support and encouragement. I love all of you blogger friends.
Have a great day!

Update

UPDATE:

The surgery is set for January 9th at 12:45pm. I'll go in for a pre op on Monday and to give some more of my blood, like I'm not giving enough already.
Anyways It's 1 week and 5 days away, how freaked out do you think I am???????


Thanks for the prayers

Some bad news

I just found out today that I'm going to have surgery either next week or the week after. I get that phone call tomorrow.
The Doctors will cut an incision starting from my belly button down and remove a 19cm cyst along with my right ovary.
Because of the magnatude of the cyst they have no choice but to take it out now.
If we don't the baby will not make it because she won't have any room to grow.
When I have the surgery there is always the risk of miscarriage or premature labor but the risk of doing nothing outweighs the risk of doing the surgery. My doctor said that I'm looking more like 30 weeks pregnant rather then just 18. So maybe it will make the home stretch more comfortable later on.
I will be in the hospital for 2-3 days and out of work for atleast 2-3 weeks. I only have 3 weeks vacation so I'm hoping that I can just be out for 2.
Of course I'm frightened to have surgery but the thing that really scares me is the slight chance that Addyson won't make it. I know I can't think like but it's really hard not to when everything just kind of hits you at once and becomes reality.
Addyson's middle name is Faith and that's exactly what is being asked of me. I think it's the most perfect name, don't you agree?
Please pray for us
I will keep you posted.

The Priceless Gift of Christmas

The Priceless Gift of Christmas

Christmas is a heavenly gift that only God can give.
It's ours just for the asking, for as long as we shall live.
It can't be bought or bartered, it can't be won or sold,
It doesn't cost a penny, and it's worth far more than gold.
It isn't bright and gleaming for eager eyes to see,
It can't be wrapped in tinsel or placed beneath a tree.
It isn't soft and shimmering for reaching hands to touch,
Or some expensive luxury you've wanted very much,
For the priceless gift of Christmas is meant just for the heart,
And we receive it only when we become a part
Of the kingdom and the glory which is ours to freely take,
For God sent the HOly Christ Child at Christmas for our sake
So man might come to know Him and feel His presence near
And see the many miracles performed while he was here.
And this priceless gift of Christmas
is within the reach of all,
The rich, the poor, the young and old,
the greatest and the small,
So take his priceless gift of love,
reach out and you receive,
And the only payment that God asks
is just that you believe

Pink things are actually adorable!!

Okay so anyone who knows me knows that I hate pink, I just dislike that pinky girly color and I thought if I were to have a girl I would rather purple then pink. BUT everything and I mean everything has changed now. I still don't like pink for myself but for my little girl, she has to wear pink, and purple and all those girly colors because our little girl is going to be the cutest thing ever, and you just have to put pink on a girl, it's a must...and have you seen how much is out there with pink on it, we have such a selection.
So Wednesday I received a package from a lady that I work with on the cell phones, well thinking it was just my phone parts I didn't have time to open it so I left it til yesterday afternoon. When I opened it there was not only my phone cases but there was two pink long sleeved onesies and a pink bib that says "Thank Heaven for little girls". It was so adorable, my first official pink outfit. Then I went to my mom and dad's last night and they had bought me a pack of differen't kind of pink t-shirt onesies just to get me started. OH my gosh, I get so antsy knowing that our little baby girl will be wearing those one day....and it just warms my heart.
Here is just a picture from the website I found but these are the ones my mom and dad got me. I LOVE THEM, and the pink is perfect, especially with the hearts. Too bad they only stay little for a short time.
I don't know what's in store for me in the next couple weeks but I know this, God has a hand on all of us, and even if His purpose is for us to have one child then so be it. But she will be the most special and cherished daughter God has ever placed in our hands and heart.
It's amazing how much emotion and love I have for her.........okay tissue please. :)
I'm a dork I know....but I'm sure as I get farther along the more emotional I will get, so bear with me. :)

Frustrating times

First of all I just want to say that I'm soooo excited to be having a little girl!!!!! i just can't believe it.



Okay so yesterday when I went to the Dr. they wanted to check up on my Cyst during an ultrasound. Well the cyst grew from 14cm to 19 cm and it has been shifting because of the baby growing and everything getting moved around. I believe it's coming up over the top of my stomach. Anyways my doctor is on maternity leave until January so the one I am seeing while she is gone is worried and ordered an MRI. So today I went to the hospital and had an MRI done, which was really scary because I was worried about Addyson the whole time. But the radiologist eased my mind so I went ahead and went through with it. He told me that if I didn't get the cyst out now the baby wouldn't have room to grow because of how the cyst is shifting around. That really scared me. So I am waiting for the results and I'll know more. But as of right now we have two choices that the doctor must decide between. Either they will stick a needle in my stomach to the cyst and drain it, and hope it doesn't come back. Or they will do surgery and take out the cyst along with my right ovary. I'm really nervous about everything because I dont like doctors and I am scared for our little girl. I know God will take care of her but as her momma I just want to do everything to protect her and she isn't even born. I feel totally bonded to her already, it's such an amazing feeling. Anyways please pray that the right decision is made and everything works out perfectly. It should be taken care of probably in the next week or two. The good thing is I will have a chance to have a natural child birth.
The doctors thought it was wierd to not have any pain when I should but ever since the ultrasound and her digging around it is uncomfortable right now. She said that's why i fee so bloated, i've got so much growing in me.
I'm really tired and it's all just kind of weighing on me, but I'm believing that God has her in His hands and will do everything to protect her for me.
So that's whats going on and I'll keep you posted with the news as I get it.
Thank you for all the congrats and encouragement even through all this it's such an exciting time knowing that we have a baby girl growing inside of me. Just an amazing thing I must say :)

You guys are awesome!!!
I'm glad I'm going to be the 3rd person to have a girl on this blog. :)

A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!! MUST READ

Well guys, I have some extremely exciting news. I have some bad news but that can wait until tomorrow when I find out how bad it actually is.

Today I went in for a routine check up and was told they wanted to do an ultrasound to see how my Cyst looked. I was surprised because I hadn't expected it and Stephen wasn't there. So the ultrasound lady asked me if I wanted to know what we were going to have, and of course I couldn't say no, and I knew people would really hurt me if I had turned down the chance to see what Baby Griffis would be. SO we found out......:)




WE are pleased to announce that we are having a............................









GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




I'm excited to announce that Baby Griffis now has a name.

Addyson Faith Griffis

WE are so excited and our family is happy and this is just a wonderful day. I was so surprised but it was amazing because I could even tell it was a girl. She is a very active girl with a strong heartbeat..I just love her
I even had 2 viles of blood taken and it wasn't as bad as I thought.
God is good







Addyson Faith 16 weeks 5 days


Me at 16 weeks and 5 days (Yuck) This is me with a baby and a 19 cm Cyst

Today

I have to give blood today....

That's all

Cranky

I'm tired...

I have allergies....

I left my Christmas Cards on top of my TV instead of bringing them with me to work to mail.....

I have too much to do this weekend.....

Pray for me.......


5 months and 16 days.....

Another week gone by

Well we are all moved in. It was actually a great move, and Stephen and my family helped out a lot. I had the last box done on Sunday evening and I even had the Christmas tree and all the decorations put up. That was my favorite part. I'm enjoying it but Sammy has become more than just a crazy cat, he is possessed. We may end up having to get rid of him, I'm really sad about that, but my allergies are horrible and I'm miserable, he ping pongs around the apartment pouncing on the floor making all this noise, he bites and scratches and then at night he wants to sleep as close to your face as he can. He is driving us crazy. We really don't know what to do, I think he just needs to be outside and not cooped up.
I wore myself out moving so on Tuesday Stephen was off and I took off with him and we finished most the Christmas shopping and just relaxed. It was really nice to just take a day off during the week.
My best friends grandmother passed away last weekend and we went to the viewing on Tuesday evening and then mom and I went to the funeral yesterday. It was such a sad and touching funeral, she was loved so much. I just pray for all the family and friends because this is such a hard time for them.
It makes me think about how I would feel if I lost someone close to my heart.

I'm officially 4 months/16 weeks today...crazy how time is flying. I was going to take a picture today and I'm really sad because I have NO camera, so I dont know what I'm going to do. It makes me sad not to be able to see my progress even though I can see it in front of the mirror and with my clothes. I'll try to figure something out.

This weekend is going to be so busy, we have my work Christmas party on Saturday evening, then a graduation party to go to on Sunday afternoon and then Stephens work Christmas party Sunday evening. I'm already tired thinking about it.
Alright well I need to get back to work, thanks everyone for your recipes and for your encouragment, it's been such a busy week, and I'm glad I have people like all of you bloggers.

Have a great weekend!!!

I NEED HELP

I need some help and was wondering if anyone could possibly help me out.

I need some easy yummy semi healthy recipes.
I'm not good at coming up with things to make and am having a hard time finding good recipes.
so if you have a couple of your favorite recipes that aren't family secrets that you would love to share I would LOVE to try them.

I find it harder to be creative......i'm blaming it on the pregnancy.

I could use anyone!!!1

Thanks so much

15 Weeks and moving

Sounds like everyone is moving into a new place right before Christmas.
Well needless to say so are we. We found a small little apartment for the time being and are moving in starting tonight and lasting until the weekend. I'm tired thinking about it all but I also just want to get it done. It seems we always gain more stuff as we move from place to place. I'm ready for a solid house and no more moving around. Hopefully that will be before the baby is born next year. I'm praying, and I still have hope.
Anyways I may not be able to get on the internet this weekend, I"m not sure if and when we are setting it up at our new place. I 'll let you guys know how it went. Considering I can't lift heavy things and Stephen's ankle is still sprained, it should be quite interesting to see how it all works out. We will have plenty of help though, my brothers and Stephen's brothers are going to give us a hand.
Okay well I'm 15 weeks today, it's somewhat nerveracking because at 10 weeks 20 weeks seems so far, but now that i'm at 15 weeks, i'm 5 weeks until i'm half way....in some ways it seems so slow but yet I look back and can't believe I'm so far along.
I'm going toget ready to get out of here, but I wanted you all to know that even though I havent gotten my ultrasound I really believe I'm carrying a little boy.
It's exciting, and now i'm anxious to see what the u/s says.
In 1 weeks I'm going to post a belly pic....see how big i've gotten in 4 weeks.

PS:
I can't wait to feel him/her kick :)

3-day Meditation

3-day meditation

In God's plan are many things
man cannot understand.
But we must trust God's judgment
and be guided by His hand.
Sometimes HE asks us to give up
our dreams of happiness--
Sometimes we must forego our hopes
of fortune and success...

Not all of us can triumph
or rise to heights of fame.
And many times what should be ours
goes to another name.
But he who makes a sacrifice
so another may succeed
is indeed a true discipline
of our blessed Savior's creed.
For when we give ourselves away
in sacrifice and love.
We are laying up rich treasures
in God's kingdom up above...

For any sacrifice on earth
made in the dear Lord's name
Assures the giver of a place
in heaven's hall of fame.
And who can say with certainty
where the greatest talent lies
Or who will be the greatest
in our heavenly Father's eyes?
And who can tell with certainty,
in the heavenly Father's sight,
Who's entitled to the medals
and who's the hero of the fight?

-Helen Steiner Rice-

Feelings

I can't believe it
6 weeks and 3 days we will find out what our precious baby is!!!
I know i'm a dork and I'm counting down, but this is so awesome to think about.

I felt something the other day....it felt like my stomach did a sumersalt...i'm not sure if it was gas or the beginning of the fluttering....it was cool.
I'm excited for more of these feelings.

Test

This is a test, I can't check my blog and it's upsetting because I'm not sure if anyone else can either.
Let me know

Forgetfulness

Yay! I finally have a valid excuse!!!!

Week 14: Forgetfulness (or, "Pregnancy Brain")
" Am I imagining this, or is forgetfulness a pregnancy symptom?"
Forget about it: Pregnancy forgetfulness isn't in your imagination. Like so many other pesky pregnancy symptoms, it's in your hormones (and there are studies to back that up — just in case your partner doesn't buy that there is a legitimate physical cause you neglected to pick up his prescription on the way home). Sleep deprivation can also play a role, as can the fact that you're constantly zapped of energy — energy your brain needs to stay focused. Even the most organized type A personality can take a disconcerting turn for the scatterbrained during pregnancy: missing important appointments, leaving the oven on, forgetting to respond to e-mail, misplacing the car keys…misplacing the car.…
To help stay focused, get into the habit of writing things down before you forget them. Keep lists of absolutely everything — of groceries to buy, phone calls to make, questions for your practitioner. Frequently checking a daily planner can also help (you can use your online pregnancy planner and take the What to Expect Pregnancy Organizer with you wherever you go). When possible, enlist the aid of those around you who are not pregnant to serve as your backup system (Honey. have you seen my keys?). Have your partner write down your important appointments so he can call you with a friendly reminder.
Most of all, try to keep your sense of humor about your forgetfulness. It's only temporary, and sometime after delivery, you'll notice your memory returning — although the fog probably won't lift entirely at least until your baby (and you) start sleeping through the night.
Here's to a memorable pregnancy!Heidi

Mishaps and baby talk

I hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving!!! It was such a beautiful day, and a great day for Thanksgiving.
We did end up having one little mishap. Us girls were in the kitchen getting some of the last minute things together while the guys were outside playing football when all of a sudden one of my brothers ran inside to tell me that Stephen just hurt his foot. It seems that he had hit the only hole in the front yard and twisted it pretty bad. His ankle was 3 times the size that it should be. He kept it up for the rest of the day and I took him to the ER the next day to see if it was broken or just sprained. He ended up with an inline fracture that didn't move out of place, so they gave him a boot and he borrowed some crutches from a friend. So he's been hoping around here, laying down with his foot up, relaxing....while me, the pregnant one, has been doing everything for him. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around right now. LOL
No I'm somewhat happy to be at his beck and call getting his dinner and drinks and ice and swedish fish, and anything else he wants (needs). I love him. :)
I can't wait for him to be healed. ahhaha


Other then that it's been such a nice relaxing weekend. I got to see my family, and my sister and her husband and then we hung out with Natalie and Jason and Jackson who came in to visit from San Antonio. I'm not ready to go back to work on Monday, but that's the way it has to be.
Only one more month until Christmas and I am in no way ready.....I have such a hard time getting all of the gifts together, I'm wondering how it will all work out next year when i have a 6 month old to take care of too.
I'm so excited about that, I see Natalie and Jason take care of Jackson and I cannot wait to be able to have a sweet baby of our own. It's so unreal right now, mostly because I'm not really showing, the baby is not moving yet, and I don't know for sure what we are having. I can't call him/her by name, and I'm just waiting to feel this baby. Sometimes I'm just so happy, other times, I feel like it's all miserable right now......it's really been a bad 3 months, and I'm praying that this time goes by fast...maybe i'm not one of those people who enjoys being pregnant. I am one that loves the child, but right now, it's just hard.

Come January I'll be half way there, and more pumped then ever, so this is just a rough time right now. God is good though, and He gave us this great blessing. Stephen is so happy, he is always talking about him/her....and sometims he calls the baby a her, which is so sweet because at the beginning he was always calling my stomach Reese. He just can't wait for our healthy baby to make an appearance. I've never seen him so excited about something....it's a wonderful feeling. Okay enough, I'm just going through all these feelings and it's nice to jot them down for someone else to read. It really is a wonderful time right now.

I hope you all have had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, and you didn't get too caught up in the crowds.

Week 12 Appointment

Dr. Apt went well today...nothing much went on, the heart beat was good and everything seemed normal. My next one is December 19th and I get to have blood taken to see if everything is alright with the baby. Like it's my privelage to get blood forced from my body. Oh well right. I did hear that I can't find out the sex of the baby until around January 15th. I'm anxious but I can wait, that's only 8 weeks from now. I can't believe I will actually be 20 weeks in 8 weeks, half over, wow! Anyways I just thought I would give everyone the update on my day. I only have 2 more days at work and then I'm free until the Monday after Thanksgiving. Whoo hoo.


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Cravings

I just want to forewarn you all right now, that I am probably going to blow up like a blimp with this pregnancy.
People have been asking me if I've been craving anything lately....and I haven't really so far, but this weekend has been pretty wierd.
Friday evening I didn't feel very well so I pretty much did nothing, and then I got this huge craving for fried rice from this chinese resauraunt down the street....mmmmm goood. Stephen went and got me that and some soup...it was good.
Now today I'm trying to take a nap and all I can think about is James Coney Island chili, cheese and onion hotdogs. Usually I only eat corn dogs when I go there, but for some reason those sound soooo good right now. I'm going to send Stephen in a little bit. ha
My Dr. apt is tomorrow and i'll post any updates then.
Have a good Sunday evening.

My Sweet Baby

This is my BABY!

Even though I officially turn 12 weeks tomorrow..here is my 12 week tummy. I know I'm fat.

Addyson Faith Griffis

Faith= my great great grandmothers maiden name

My middle name: Lindsey= my great grandmother's maiden name


Reese James Griffis

James= my great great grandfathers name (i think it's 2 greats)

ARGHH

I HATE INDIGESTION!!!!!!


HOW DO I GET RID OF IT???? ANSWERS PLEASE????

2 things

Okay two things real fast.

FIRST:

I PROMISE I will share with all of you a belly picture...may not be a bare belly, but I'll put something up here by Thanksgiving at the LATEST.
My mother-in-law has the same camera...I just didn't want to tell you guys that....

SECOND:

I did forget about a prize, but yes there will be a prize for the winner of the baby game...I'm not sure what exactly, haven't thought that far, but the winner will get something...so keep the guesses coming!!!


Have a good day.

Hint to the Baby Game

Here is a little hint:

Michelle born on August 25th, 1981
I was 3 weeks early
7 pounds 3 1/2 ounces
20 inches long


I'm not sure on Stephen I'll edit this later when I ask his mom.
I believe he was around 7 pounds also.

Hopefully this will help.

Also think about this
My parents have 4 boys and 2 girls
Stephens parents have 3 boys
I wonder if I'll ever get a girl. LOL

A BABY GAME

Okay guys I have a simple game that everyone can play.
I got this website from Lindsay (Thanks Lindsay) and thought it would be fun.
What you do is go to the following web site:

http://www.expectnet.com/game.php

type in the top left corner under name of game
BabyGriffis

You will then be able to put a guess in on weight, length, gender and birthdate.
Let's see who will actually get the closest.
thanks guy!

Remember anyone can play!

A Long fun week

Alright I've been asked to update and I believe that means more then just pictures. So much has gone on this past week, it's been a crazy 7 days.
Last Friday we left at 8:30 in the morning after picking Wade up from class and drove straight to GA. We got in to my Grandmother's house about 9:30 and met up with the rest of my family who had left the day before. We stayed up talking and catching up which was really nice.
Saturday and Sunday was spent shopping and hanging out with my Grandmother and seeing my Uncle. It was so pretty there, I actually didn't think that trees could be differen't colors. Fall in GA is gorgeous, I'm waiting on some pictures from my brother. My camera went on the frits right before the trip so I'm depending on everyone else to send me pictures.
Monday we got up early and left for TN which was a beautiful drive, we went through North Carolina and up through the mountains. We were so far up the mountain we saw ice, it was so pretty. We spent Monday-Thursday going into town, shopping, eating, relaxing, sitting in the hottub, playing pool, checking out the sights, and some more shopping, and just having a good time with the family. Even though it rained on us, we still had a good time. Not as cold as I would of liked but it was pretty nonetheless.
Friday morning we all got up and got ready to come home. Dad, Mom, Kristen, Dennis, Dustin and Josh were planning on staying in a hotel while Stephen, Wade, Ryan and I were planning on driving straight home. On the way we decided to stop in Gulfport to visit my Aunt, Uncle and cousins who were on a missions trip for the people who went through Katrina. They live in Indiana and we thought that even though it was an hour out of our way we couldn't pass the chance up to see them. It's so sad to see all that happened in Gulfport and even sadder to see how many people were yet without a home. But yet the Casinos were up, tell me about getting their priorities straight.
We got home Saturday morning about 3 am...it was a long long drive.
That's our trip, it was great and tiring and all that jazz.
Since we have been back it's been hard on me, I'm tired and not feeling well. My brother came down with something and I think I might of caught the tail end of it. It's hard getting in the groove of things when you have not had any kind of schedule for the past week.
I'm almost 12 weeks along and I had to move my Dr. Apt to next Monday the 20th because I was so swamped at work today. I never should of made an apt right after getting back from work. Anyways so hopefully the Apt after this one will be the one where we find out what we are having. That would be so exciting!!!!! Right before Christmas, what a Christmas present.
I've been told I'm getting a baby belly, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not right now. I feel like I shouldnt' be showing....but I guess everyone is different. When I get a camera to work I;ll take a belly picture for you all. Maybe...hehehe
This week will be so busy. We have our Thanksgiving luncheon at work on Thursday, and since I'm pregnant I've signed up to make all these wonderful things that I want to eat. LOL
I also have my review that day, I'm nervous about that. Friday I have a meeting luncheon at Saltgrass, I know such a hard week...on top of that I have all this work to do. Next week should be a little easier.....we get thursday, friday, saturday and sunday off. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Well I'm going to finish watching Heros, I love that show.
I hope you have a blessed week.

We are back HOME!!!

It's the Family!!!! Love the view

Fun Times

This is what happens when your husband goes with your brothers, brother-in-law and dad to visit your uncle to watch a Georgia Bulldog game.
Do I need to keep an eye on him more or what?

VACATION!!!

I'm in GA and it's COOOLLLDDDDD. I love it.
Took us 11 hours....but we made it.

Prettiest boy

So I HAVE to do it again, I have to post a picture of the prettiest boy ever.

10 Weeks

Well I'm finally 10 weeks along, crazy how time seem to be going to slow but then on the other side it's going so fast. Before I know it I will be half way there. I'm already hoping for a fast pregnancy, my back is already hurting.....LOL
I can't believe that in maybe 6-7 weeks we can find out what we are going to have...that seems so crazy to me. I'm starting to feel a little better, I don't think I've come home and crashed at all this week, so that is a huge improvement for me. I'm actually pretty pumped that I'm feeling better. I hate feeling like my body just can't do anything else. It still is very hard to get up at 5:30 and work til 4, but I'm praying it just becomes a routine again. 2 more weeks until the end of my first trimester, it's just around the corner. I have another Dr. App on the 13th of November, I'm not sure what they are going to do since this is my 2nd apt, so if any of you remember can you please give me a heads up, I like to know before I get there. LOL I hate Dr.'s
Well Stephen, Wade and I are leaving tomorrow at 7:30 on our journey to GA. There we will stay until Monday and head out to TN for the Chalet. I believe we will be back home on the 10th. I'm so excited and happy that it's finally almost here. There is just so much stuff going on that it will be nice to just sit back and enjoy a nice vacation. I hear its like in the 30's and 50's right now....I love cold weather.
Please pray that our drive up there is good and we have no problems.
I can't procastinate any longer as I have so much work to do before 4.
I hope everyone has a nice week and the weather continues to be beautiful!

Happy Birthday Dear

Today is my wonderfu, sweet, loving, adoring husbands 28th b'day.
He is everything i've ever hoped for and everything i've ever needed.
Stephen,
I thank God for you daily and for the love that you have given me.
I can't wait to see what a wonderful father you are going to be to our child
I know we have so many more years down the road to be together and to be a family.
I know God has a special plan for us and we just need to trust him. Thank you for
being the man that I need and no matter what I'm extremely proud of who
you are and who you are becoming.

Happy Birthday sweetheart, I love you.

A little update

Okay so I have gotten some good ideas on baby names.

We are still almost positive about the girl name (Addyson Kailee)

But here are some ideas that I got from some people and I'm going to try them out.

What do you think about these three names?:

Reese Parker
Reese Ashton
Reese Andrew

I want to thank everyone for their help and I would love some more ideas to go with Reese. Stephen pretty much has his heart set on Reese for a first name.
I'm sure we can find something good to go with it.

i'm secretly praying for a girl ;)

So i'm getting kind of thick around the middle and it's in this stage where you don't want to look fat but you aren't big enough to look pregnant, it's frustrating. Especially when your normal clothes feel like they are closing in on you.......so uncomfortable...:(
Also did any of you get the question of the day "how are you feeling?" all day long when you were working while pregnant?
Do they want the truth that i'm sick to my stomach all day long and miserable, ready to fall asleep at the drop of the hat....or do they want me to say "i'm okay"?
I think i'm going to hurt the next person that asks me that question.

So that is that...I only have 6 more days of work before vacation and I'm so looking forward to it.
That is what is pulling me through these next 2 weeks.....
Other then that everything is GREAT!!!!
Until next time, have a great week.

Such Sweet Pictures!

Okay so I have to brag just a little.
My friend sent me two pictures that I HAVE to post because they are the most adorable pictures in the world. They have the cutest little boy. Such a beautiful family, and the sweetest I might add.
This is Jason, Natalie and Jackson (he is almost 5 months)



This is of Jackson he is so cute!!

I'm tired

So I have to tell you that getting up at 5:30 every morning for 5 days straight every week is really hard when you are pregnant and you feel sick ALL day long. This part has really drained me and everyday I get home at 4:30 I end up sleeping til 6 and then it's off to bed by 10 again.
I feel like i'm worth nothing right now, and I'm praying that the next 4 weeks go by really fast.
It's wierd thinking about being pregnant, but after I heard the heartbeat and saw our little baby it became more real. I still can't believe it's really happening. Today at work the CFO asked me if I was pregnant and I told him yes and he gave me a hug and congratulated me. For a minute there I thought he was going to rub my tummy. I'm not sure if i'm going to like that very much, especially when I get really big. A friend from work is going to get me a shirt for Christmas that says " It's not a genie in a bottle so don't rub me". I think that would be hilarious.
Anyways I just thought I would share my thoughts while I was still awake. Please pray for me, as I'm having a really time working feeling like I do.
Thanks for everyone's comments and thoughts and prayers, I appriciate it all so much.
You guys are awesome!!!

Names

Well since I told you we were going to have a baby I might as well tell you the names we have been thinking about.

If it's a girl we would like to name her:
Addyson Kailee

If it's a boy we like the name:
Reese
Ashton

But we don't have any middle names for those.
If you have any idea please feel free to share!
Thanks for the many congrats and the prayers, we both appriciate it all so much.

Have a great Hump Day.

The Cat is now out of the bag!

So we've been keeping a secret from all of you bloggers since October 2nd and finally we are ready to share it with the world.
Stephen and I are expecting our first baby!! Crazy I know...it was a HUGE shock to us as well.
We found out on the 2nd of October but I couldn't get into the Dr. until today and so after looking at everything and seeing that the baby is just fine, and the heart beat is strong and he/she is just wonderful we decided it was time to share this wonderous news. Aside from being sick for the past 3-4 weeks, it's been a blessing upon us. God is amazing and I know that He has been waiting for just the right time for us to be parents, and this is it. Please pray that everything goes according to His plan and we have our perfect little baby next year.
I'm officially 7 weeks and 5 days. ( I thought I was farther along but the measurments say this) and we are due May 31, 2006.

There is some bad news, or some down news as I like to call it. I was informed today that I have an almost size of a football sist on my right ovary (14cm). I'm really nervous about this, but the Dr. is going to keep me under watch. I'm going to have another ultrasound around 15 weeks..so I will probably get a couple more than usually. I'm excited about that because I can see the heartbeat again. It's uncomfortable and the Dr. said I may need a C-Section when the time comes if the Sist is still there so they can take out both the baby and the sist at the same time, I'm praying it goes down like she thinks it will.
So please pray that everything works out there. She said it won't hurt the baby but I will be in some pain if it does rupture. Some great news on such a great day huh?
But we are excited and can't wait to see what God has for us.

Thanks for reading this and being excited along with us. Thrilled cannot explain the feelings we have now. For now here is a picture of our little blob aka our little baby bean.

Just a small night post

It's late, and I'm tired and I'm ready for my vacation. Only 13 more work days and i'm free to relax in the mountains.
I can already picture it:

Sitting in the hottub staring at the nightlights of the city with the mountains in the background while it's crisp and cool outside with some hot chocolate. Now that's a dream come true.

Well I have a big long day ahead of me tomorrow so I'm going to hit the sack. I'll post more tomorrow. Sleep tight all of Ya'll.

A case of the Monday's

This weekend was a nice relaxing one for us. It's nice to have those once in a while.
There was quite a bit of drama going on, but I guess you can't always have a perfect weekend.
It was fun nonetheless.

The rain has really been coming down today, it's a mess outside.
It actually took me and my car pool buddy 30 minutes to get into the parking lot at work today. We were in the area, just couldn't figure out how to get in without going through high water. I thought, this is crazy, why are we fighting to get in to have the chance to get stuck....we are sooo smart.
Hopefully we will get to leave early because we are in a bad flooding area, it would be nice to take off a bit early.
Nothing new going on, just wanted to take a break and post something, I'll try to post more tomorrow. I hope everyone stays dry and remember if the water looks high don't try to drive through it.
Have a great Monday.

I thought I would share a pretty rose I found on google.com

Happy Birthday to my brother

I have one quick post and then I'm out for the night.

Today is my brother Ryan's 18th b'day. I can't believe he is 18 already. It seems like he was just this little red headed kid who hated it when I pulled his hair. The little boy who always threw himself on the floor screaming when he didn't get his way. The little boy who was in his terrible two's for many many years. I really felt for my mom up until he was probably 15 or 16. He has turned into this amazing man of God whom I really look up to. It's funny i'm 8 years older and I look up to him, I never would seen that coming, he is supposed to be looking up to me. Ha
Well today is special non the less and I love him as much as I can love my brother plus a little more. I'm blessed because he can always cheer me up and encourage me and just listen to me rant and rave. Yes he is very special to me.
I love you Ryan and Happy 18th B'day.

PS: Now you can meet me for lunch!!!!!!!

Here is a picture of him and his wonderful girlfriend. I love this one.

Try it-It works!

Another day for my tear off calendar:

Stop wishing for things
you complain you have not
And start making the best
of all that you've got

That is so true, there are miracles everwhere.

Happy Monday

Last year of High School

So my brother-in-law is graduating from High School in May.
I remember when I met Stephen's family, John was only 12 or 13. Time sure does fly.
I really like this picture.

My favorite show!!

I LOVE THIS SHOW!! IT WAS SO GOOD TONIGHT!!

Some Great News!!

Okay so I have some really exciting news.....









No I'm not pregnant.......





No we didn't buy a house.....



No we aren't moving.......



Now I didn't get a new job...............




BUT


I got a new car
If any of you knew my Saturn was giving me a LOT of problems so I fixed that and we sold it.
Here is my replacement vehicle:

Oh how the weekends go by.....

Alright so I guess it is time for an update from me.

We went to San Antonio this past weekend to visit Natalie and Jason and baby Jackson. He is the sweetest baby in the world and also the cutest baby BOY in the whole world. :)
On Saturday Natalie had to go sing at a wedding and so Stephen and I babysat Jackson for about an hour and a half. I was holding him and he was trying to sit up so I sat him up against the couch and got this cute picture of him holding the remote to the TV and one little finger on a button along with his other hand on the top of his baby bottle. He looked like a little man enjoying his Saturday off. Too bad it was on Stephen's cell phone or else I would of posted it here, I was so proud of that picture. LOL
We really had a wonderful time up there, i love seeing how much Jackson has grown between the times we do see him. The next time probably won't be until Thanksgiving and by then he will be 6 months, how time flies by. Thanks Natalie and Jason for having us, you guys rock.

My car was also in the shop on Friday again......I was told to sell that car fast before it fell apart on me....I thought it was doing that right now. So Stephen and I are in the process of deciding on what to do. Hopefully God will point us in the right direction.

There is really nothing much going on, just the same old things on a day to day basis. We have about 6 weeks until our vacation and I'm so ready for it. It's been a long year.
Alright well I need to get to work, it's a Monday again and another week has begun. I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend and have a good week.

Happy Birthday to MEE

It's my BIRTHDAY today!!
I love birthdays, and I love my Birthday, BUT
I hate that I'm 25, I just feel old.

So far I have recieved a million dollar bill
and a Porche, except it's still in the box
so I'm going to need to take it out before I
can drive it.

Plus my department is going out to Salt Grass today for
lunch in just a few. And tonight Stephen and I are going
to Red Lobster...and I'm leaving work at 3pm.
Pretty nice day so far.

Alright i'm off for lunch!!!

The Weekend

We went to San Antonio this past weekend and here are some cute pictures.

Sweet Jackson

Today is a special day

Today is a very special day, today is my brother Dustin's 16th b'day.

Here is that good looking 16 year old:



I'm so proud of you and I love how you are just the crack up and always make me laugh. I love you!

Howdie

I know it's been a while, but not that much going on in our life.

I do have a date with the dentist on Wednesday, it's something i'm NOT looking forward to.
I MAY need a root canal, they won't know til they get in...plus the tooth is in the front SO those shots are the worst. I know it sounds crazy but I had NO idea that I had one that bad.
So pray they don't have to hold me down as they try to numb it, because shots are not my friend.

Our cat is insane, seriously he's worse then a little kid!

How?????

"Not Guilty by reason of insanity", yep that makes so much more sense after a mother drowned her FIVE children one at at time.
The people know how the government works thats for sure.
How can you be NOT GUILTY after what you did?
It's a good thing God is the judge.

Almost the weekend

Well it's official one more month until I'm halfway to 50. I know I know I sound like such a pessemist. I'm usually so optomistic so this is odd for me to be acting this way. I see myself turning 25 and 30 doesn't sound as old as it did back when I was 18. I look back and I thought I would be married,have 2 kids by now, own my own home and drive the car of my dreams. One of those things came to pass but I guess it's not the right time for the other things. That's alright I 'll wait, it's just that waiting is NOT a good quality that I have.

Not much else going on here, just work and work and work.
I told you guys that we got a kitten and that he was soo sweet. Well he still is sweet, that is when he is sleeping. No really he is cute and loveable but sometimes he can be a little brat. I call him my little brat cat. For instance he keeps trying to push the keys on the keyboard....you say to yourself he probably is just trying to walk across it but no I tell you this cat is smart. He knows I dont want him on the laptop so he hides behind it and sticks one paw around and tries to type keys...but he misses so he peaks around the corner and tries to find the keys. It's hilarious. He also likes my mother-in-laws dining room table downstairs. She doesnt like it so much that he walks on top of it and knocks the centerpiece over. So we have started keeping him in our room with the door shut....well every time you even crack the door he tries to get through it and sometimes he is FAST. He will run downstairs and hide under the table because he knows we are coming after him. It's quite humerous at times, but times when I'm trying to just relax and he is biting my fingers or biting my toes.....and then of course the times when you are trying to sleep and he walks on top of your face. Yep it's great having a kitten, I think you should ALL get one.

Alright well I feel like I'm chasing after a little kid (I guess techinically he is my baby) so for now I need to go find him....Stephen opened the door and he escaped. Have a great evening.

I dyed my hair brown....

A Cute picture that was sent to me

Christmas 2004

Things go round and round

I think I might of confused a few people about our upcoming vacation.
We aren't going to TN until the late fall, for now we are just sticking around
home and taking care of things that need to be taken care of.
Which will be nice because we will just get to relax and do whatever we want.
I'm excited about not having to get up at 5:30 in the morning anymore.

This week has been very stressful on me, my car started acting up and jerking every
time it went from 1st to 2nd gear. We took it in and they flushed out the transmission
and that didn't solve the problem, it just made the problem worse. Instead of just jerking
from 1st to 2nd it started jerking from 2nd to 3rd gear also. So I took it in yesterday and
they had to replace a valve of some kind. I have my car back and I'm so grateful that it's fixed, a little sad at how much we had to spend to fix it but none the less hopefully it will last until it's paid off next year. I hate car problems, it's just something you can't get around.
Atleast I have had my car pool buddy and she has been extremely understanding
and has driven every day this week. Oh how i'm grateful for kind hearted people.

So my car is taken care of and I can now drive it with a peaceful mind and I'm going to pray that nothing else happens to it, it always seems like one thing after another, especially when you think you have gotten ahead. Oh well God provides and for that I'm extremely blessed.

Tomorrow is my last day for 10 days, I have gotten just about everything that I need to get done at work. I have a few things left tomorrow, and then smooth sailing next week.
It would be awfully nice to not have to work, yes that would be great fun.

Alright i'm going to get some things done, if you all don't remember last year how obsessed I was with Big Brother 6, look out for this year. Big Brother 7-All Stars starts tonight!!!!! Whoo hoo.
Have a blessed weekend.

Sweet Surprise

So I got Stephen a present today. He lost his cat (it's a very sad story) so I surprised him with a little kittie. We love him, he is SO sweet.

Here is our sweet Sammy

Some news

I have some exciting news....we are going on a family vacation. I'm so excited because we will be staying in the mountains for almost a week.



So the countdown is on! Whoo hoo....TN here we come.

Also friends of Stephen and I just had their second boy the day before Fathers day. Jack Gabriel. Here is a picture of their two sons: Caden who is almost 3 and Jack who is almsot a week old...so cute





Thats about all that is new in our life...I hope you all have a great weekend.

Life is good

Well it's been a while since a real post so here it goes.
Life is really busy lately. Stephen has gotten a temporary promotion until the end of August, he will be a fill in manager at one of the stores until it closes down at the end of August. It's a good step in the door so this will give him the opportunity to move forward come September. He is not looking forward to the drive but it's only 2 months. I'm really proud of him.
A major accomplishment for us is that we signed up for a membership at a gym and we work out every evening after work on the weekends. I'm really excited about getting into shape.
You should be proud, it's hard when you are tired after a long day of work.
God has been really good to us lately, well all the time really. We only have 2 more months until our major credit card will be paid off, and then we can start saving for a house. That makes me excited, becuase I can't wait to have our own place.
Work is work, nothing new there....just every day things. But thats all right, it pays the bills.
Well the heat has finally gotten worse, I hate it with a passion and hopefully one day we will live in TN, I love that state.
Alright well I have a meeting in an hour and I need to get things accomplished. I hope everyone has a happy friday. Have fun this weekend.
My sister and brother in law are coming down tomorrow, so i'm happy about that, havent' seen her since May...maybe one day we will be semi close again.
until next time....
