McBaby

Monday Evening we had a scare- I was told that I had Placenta Previa and to stay low. Which I did... maybe to low... Monday evening I started to bleed and was sent to the hospital. We were there for 4 hours and was able to go home afterwards. Even though I kept telling people that "I was not having this baby tonight" I still thought that I was going to be having her/him. Thankfully I am still pregnant and home on bed rest. Which is hard since I have an 18 1/2 month old that likes to play, read books, run around, play outside and whatever else. She is a great girl but keeps me busy. 

Eric and I are asking for prayers that my Placenta moves out of the range of Placenta Previa area (moves up). And that I don't have any more episodes of uncontrollable bleeding or any other complications for the next 8 weeks and while I am in labor and delivering our baby. 

We have an appointment with a Dr, his midwife, and my midwife on Friday to discuss our options and to get more information about what I am suppose to be doing. Meanwhile please pray for us and that we will turn out great. 

Thank you

A few more pic.

These are her playing with Leena and the ball outside. One of them is her in her doll stroller with Baiey pushing her (she thought she was queen bee in that thing)- and not to worry but she has purse with her. The last one is of us 2 on our way to swimming lessons. And yes, she is pouting because she didn't want to stand up and get her pic. with me. She wanted to sit and I didn't want her, too. Also, now you can see my ugly butt short hair cut for those of you that keep asking about it. 

Say CHEESE! "EEEESE!!!"

I love these pictures of her. I actually caught some really good ones of her smiling- she is saying, "Eeese!" AKA Cheese- and check her out carrying her purse around. Gotta love it :)

The other day we went grocery shopping, and she HAD to take her purse in the store with us. All the ladies we laughing, and saying how adorable that was. Which of course I totally agree. She is pretty adorable. And look at that smile. AHHH just love it. Oh! and if you look closely at the last picture with her holding her purse she ONLY has 1 shoe on. She loves those shoes and we have misplaced the other one. so... we only wear one around the house. 

Opening Doors...BFF...

Ellie has figured out that she can open up our doors. Its really cute to watch her- she thinks she is SOOO BIG. Every time she opens the door she has this huge smile on her face and laughs with an excitement. 

Kinley is one of her favorite friends. She saw a picture of me (mamma) and wanted it. So, I gave it to her. She then saw Kinleys picture on the refrigerator and dropped my pic. and pointed to Kinley, saying, her name and wanted her picture- NOT mine.  

and me note: I MADE DINNER and it turned out GREAT!!! :) go me!!! Yes, for those that don't me, I am not a cook. Ok, I am a cook, but I don't like to cook and don't. The times I have cooked it has always turned out good, great and a must have. But for one reason or another I enjoyed it. WHY???  Because I threw it all together and stuck it in a crock-pot. It cooked it self for 7hrs and put in a bowl and ate it! YUU-MMMY!!!!!

Teeth or should I say....

2 YEAR MOLERS!!!! 

That is correct. I was playing with her mouth and she actually let me stick my finger in her mouth without trying to bite me or push my finger out. Come to find out the Moler that I was feeling was not her One Year Molers but her 2 Year Moler. It has already broken though and popped out. So while my girls friends babies are working on getting their eye teeth, or whatever ones, she is working on her 2 year molers. Let me just say Mommies, I feel for you and I wish it goes fast for them and you to get their teeth. Here I thought we would have a year of not getting more teeth, but I should have known better when she got her first 2 at 4 months old. And hasn't stopped since. The other 3 feel swollen but she wouldn't let me feel to much then. She had enough with my finger in her mouth. 

GO ELLIE GO!!!!!!! Mommy and Dadda are so proud of you. What a great job working on those teeth and being so patient with them. 

SLEEP....

Everyone NEEDS it. 

But why do babies fight sleep so bad?!?!?! My question for the day. 

Ellie is in need of a nap and a long one, too. 15-20min. of trying to get her to go to sleep- man what a work out that was, too. I finally just had to let her scream and cry it out. Which didn't last long. Although, my 2nd question is, "Is she really sleeping or is she playing?" I would give anything for someone to rock me to sleep, or say "Hey! Go to sleep." I wouldn't hesitate for one second and fight it. Days like today I normally would take a nap with her (in my own bed). But for once I am on a roll with my house. My deadline is ticking away and its getting louder and louder as we approach September 1st. That is when I am hoping that ALL projects in the house are completed 100%. The outside stuff is another story- titled: 

ITS TO DARN HOT TO WORK OUTSIDE!!!! 

But hopefully they will be done shortly afterwards. 

Ok- I don't hear any noises so lets pray she is sleeping and will wake up a happy camper :)

Off to go paint the 1.2 bath. E can you believe it?!?! I am going to finally finish one of my projects that I started MONTHS and MONTHS ago. GO ME!!! :) 

18 months....

That is right fokes. My baby is 18 months TODAY!!!! Time goes to fast, but man do I enjoy every minute of it. Today we are off to go SWIMMING for her BIG day. :) Then who knows maybe home to take a nice long nap and then get up and go to the park- its kinda nice outside (for the time being)

But she is getting so big. She signs "Thank You", "More", "Nurse", "Drink", and we are working on eat & potty. Her words are: "Thank You", "Mommy", "Daddy", "Papa", "Pupu", "Kitty", "Horsey", "eat", "Where is it", "there it is", "Kiney", "Baiey", "Tay", "Tanr", "dik", "nak", "Outside", "inside", "Ni-Night", "Moon", "Cow", "Moo", "Meaow", "ruu ruu", "Ellie", "This", "Pease", "lcom", " and so much more. She is my big talker and singer. Her knew thing is singing in the car, as shes playing, taking a bath, and it is so sweet. :) (Last night she sang a song about her Dadda. It was all Dadda Dadda.) She also is trying to wistle which is adorable. Can't quite get it but we are working on it. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday and the rest of your week. 

Love to all

3 Day Weekend!!!

E finally got a day OFF- a 3 day weekend :) Lucky him worked out in the hot sun on Friday doing yard stuff, then came in and did a few things for me. We went over to his Moms home with her side of the family and had or tried to have a cook out. Steves grill didn't work so we grilled them inside. Everything was delicious!!! :) The *kids*, Eric, Chris, Kimberly, & Paige went swimming. While I kicked my feet in the pool and wathced Ellie play with a ball outside of the water. She got brave and would come sit on my lap and kick her feet in the water. What a BIG Girl!!! :) Kimberly and Eric rough housed in the pool and Ellie did NOT like that. She was scared about her Daddy and was pretty upset with Kimberly trying to hurt her Dadda- she got a dirty look afterwards. I was hoping to get home early enough to put Ellie to bed and then go sit on our ruff to watch the FIREWORKS, but I wasn't so lucky. Which was fine- I did hear them off in the distance. Maybe next year... I LOVE FIREWORKS!!! I haven't seen Fireworks in 4 years. I think I need to heard out to KY and have the kids put on a show for us :)

Saturday, Eric and I woke up at 5:00a (only because I had to pee and couldn't hold it for a few more hours) and Eric woke up not being able to turn his neck. Chris and his Dad came over to help lay some tile down. Unfortuneatly they weren't able to get a lot done due to E not being able to move. Afterwards, we had a little family date night. Which was much needed- we haven't done that in a long time. We went to dinner and then came home and watched FOOLS GOLD! Apparently, Ellie laughs like me. tee-hee-hee 

Sunday is our lazy day. Gave Renee a massage, E took Ellie to the store and he's going to make Pork Chillie for church potluck tonight and for lunch for the week. Me- I am off to go take a nap. Ellie has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming. Last night I went in there twice in a 2-3 hr span, and the other 2 times she went to bed on her own. Needless to say, I am tired. 

But I love weekends like this. Even though we had a lot of work to do around the house, its always nice to know *My Love* is home with us. Ellie loves it when her Daddy is home. She gets soooo excited when he goes to get her in the mornings. They play so cute together. El wrestles with him and pens him. Which is hilarious to see. She tried to do that to me, which I let her win but you know, its not as much fun as it is with Dadda... ha ha ha :)  I read better, but Daddy wrestles better. 

Hope you all are enjoying your 3 day weekend and enjoying Americas Birthday!!! :)

GIRLS are still in the lead around here....

Not that I am having a girl- still don't know. But 90% of Moms that I know of are having girls. However, one of my Best Girl Friends just had a boy. Oh and is he so ever cute! :) When Ellie saw him, she got sooo excited and just kept pointing to him and saying baby. She wanted to touch him and love on him. Made me feel happy, since we are just 3 months away from having our little one. But Congrats to her and all the other Mommys out there that are having babies. They are such a joy in our lives and what a great gift from God. One of the best...
