Today we are officially 19 days away from holding our little girl! I can't wait to see what she is going to look like! We have had a very great day today and I am enjoying spending each day with Kenny. It means a lot to me to be able to just get things done together.
So our doctor's appointment was good. I hadn't made any more progress, but the way I look at it is every day we are closer to the due date is technically progress! I was bummed at first, but I realize that she is perfectly healthy and doing great! Still a little squirt at around 6 pounds, but active and has a heartbeat that is strong as any boys ever will be! I was praised for losing 3 more pounds of fluid! Woo Hoo! Thank the Lord. I am still really swollen in the legs but I am doing good.
We are just so ready to see Jade and we are excited to make that phone call to let everyone know that it is finally time! WE go back to the doctor next Monday at 2:00. Bummer I know, we are so spoiled by having early appointments, but we will take what we get! Be praying hard! We just can't wait to meet her!

1st Weekly Appointment and Check! :-(
Well Tuesday was our first weekly check up. It went great. I had actually lost weight due to the fluid that was put on at the week prior's appointment and Dr. Partridge was so happy about me being able to get my blood pressure down some and the swelling off a little. I still however cannot wear my rings, but I think I could. I am scared they will cut them off of me and I don't want them ruined! Ha! Jade was getting closer to being near 6 pounds now which was great. Her little heart was beating well and we had an ultrasound just to confirm for sure that her little head was the first thing ready to come out on D-day! I didn't however get to see a new profile picture of her and that kinda sucked!
The exam went well, but I did not like that Group B Strep swab they preformed. As a matter of fact it hurt BAD! She said we didn't have any significant numbers of effacement or dialation, but that I more than likely would Monday at our next appointment. I actually think that she helped us a long a little after that appointment. I had some bleeding for the next 2 days! She said that now we are in the time frame of "any day now!" That made me very excited. I am very glad that our chickens sold Wednesday so that Kenny will be able to go with me to the rest of the appointments until she is born! That is only 3 weeks and 1 day! We cannot wait to hold Jade and dress her up in all of her adorable things! Be praying for a healthy and quick labor and delivery and for a healthy and happy little girl!

Updates from the doctor and our lives....
Ok, so I have gotten a little behind. Everytime I would get around to doing something things would work out to where I wouldn't be able to post anything, but now I officially have no excuse since I am a Stay at Home Mom now! Anyways, things are running right along. I can't believe that it is already 4 weeks and 2 days until Jade is suppose to be here. Time is really getting away from me, and hopefully I will feel better by tomorrow so I can get some stuff accomplished. It is crazy how quickly this pregnancy has gone. I know I say that everytime, but seriously it has FLOWN BY!
We went back to the doctor on Monday the 31st, and I didn't have a great appointment. As of 8 days ago, I started to get sick with allergies. Ewww, but expected this time of year for me. I always get hacky (if that is a term!). However by the time I finally got to go to the doctor it had changed into more than allergies and I am now getting over an Upper Respiratory Infection! It is horrible. But thank God I can take antibiotics. So that was the first big bummer for me! Secondly, my blood pressure had risen to 130/80-ish which isn't too terribly bad, but it caused concern from Dr. Partridge, Next I had gained 8 pounds in fluids in 2 weeks. It was horrible. My whole head was swollen and I mean it I thought I was going to die. I was actually told that she was glad that I had stopped working Friday because she was getting ready to write me off onto strict bedrest just so I wouldn't have to work. Ugh. So instead of waiting to go back to a 2 week appointment we are on our weekly ones. Dr. Partridge also guessed that Jade was around 4 and 1/2 pounds, which made me feel like I was a bad mom for her being so little, however Kenny did remind me that it was just a guess from feeling her from the outside. Plus, Dr. Partridge wasn't concerned at all about her being that size and that she figures she will just be a little girl. Bummer though because I want a healthy girl, not a teeny tiny baby. We are shooting for a 6 pound princess instead, which is likely she will be by the end of the month!
So, that is all the excitement so far, but I will be better at keeping this updated since I will have more to talk about since we go back weekly. Hopefully I will feel so much better tomorrow that I can actually get a bunch of housework done. I may just have to result to staying up later and sleeping in longer! Ha! Who knows, just be praying that Jade will be healthy, I will finish up with this nasty infection, and that we will be able to get everything done before she gets here! We go back to the doctor on Tuesday since Monday is Labor Day and I will post more then. At least I will have some indications of whether or not we are actually close to D-Day!

So Again, I Fail...
OK, I thought I was going to get better at posting some, however that proves to be wrong again! So... per my sister and Lenora's request I am going to update my blog FINALLY! I also am putting pictures at the end of it of all of my favorite Baby Jade things so far! I am just so excited and ready to meet her. 5 weeks and 5 days to go and I am counting down every second of it! Ha! We will start our 2 week appointments next Monday! It is so crazy how fast the first week has already gone! Yikes! She will be here before we know it! So without further ado, here are some of the things that I LOVE already that are Jade's!
Jade's super cute dress, shoes, and hairbow that Lenora got her!
This is her "Chicken House" dress as Kenny calls it! Complete with argyle leg warmers!
Jade's Halloween outfits! We don't know exactly what size she'll be so we got a newborn Flower and a 0-3 Month Pink Kitty! So super cute she may just have to wear both of them!
This is the "coming home" outfit. I have 3 bow options for her. I need imput on which one matches the best!

9 weeks and 6 days to go...
So Saturday Jade was officially at the 30 week mark. I am so excited! I can't wait to hold that precious miracle. This past week I have experienced Braxton Hicks contractions. Well, let me tell you that I really understand what fake pains are. I remained at work all week though, so that made me feel better about myself! Ha!
I am currently in the stages of packing THE hospital bag. Just because What to Expect told me too! LOL! I totally trust that book with my life since I have NO clue as to what to expect! (no pun intended!) We are going to put the carseat in the Tahoe after our shower on Sunday just to be ready. Plus, who knows when she will decide to make her entrance into this world. Better prepared than not, that's the way I roll. I am a checklist freak, so you better believe I am working on that at the moment! I am also compiling a "who to call list". If you would like to be added, let me know! Jill is going to keep everyone updated through the cell phone/facebook I hope and hopefully it will be a quick labor! :) We are just so excited and ready and nervous, and all sorts of emotions. Well if you have any advice as to what to pack, let me know!
That's all the excitement for now! Oh, hope to see you at the Baby Shower next Sunday. 1-4 pm at the Marble United Baptist Church! Baby Jade Party as Julie calls it, and she thinks there will be party hats! Ha! Talk to you all soon!

Life is slowing down.... FINALLY!
Well... we finally have most of the busy summer activities over with! VBS was a GREAT SUCCESS! Jade loved it, she moved like crazy every night at church! I can't wait until next year so she will be up dancing around too! I remember how active Julie was at her first VBS and she was only 6 months old! Jade will be close to 9 months! How insane is that? I have been focusing a lot at night on how things are going to get so much better around our house in the next few months. We just can't wait to hold her and love on her. I know... I guess we are just so excited we actually sound ridiculous! I just pray that the next time we decide to have another baby we won't have to go through all of the problems we did with Jade. She truely is our little miracle and we are so blessed to have a doctor who cares about us enough to help us.
Anyways, I have a busy day full of cleaning to do today. I plan on at least starting on one end of the house and moving to the other end, top to bottom, until it is spotless! I'm sure however, that my husband will somehow manage to mess everything up again though. I'm already raising a toddler I think in that department! Ha! I promise more belly pictures to come, Kenny just isn't the best at taking them! Rounding in on the 30 week mark, and getting closer and closer to single digit week countdowns! Woo hoo! We can't wait!
Oh and our doctor's appointment went very well on Monday. Her heartrate was perfect, my stomach was measuring right between 29 and 30, and we go back the 18th of August, then the 25th for our Labor/Delivery class, then we go back the 31st for another appointment! How exciting! We are in the home stretch as Dr. Partridge calls it! Yay!

Ughhh.....
So I again fail at posting. I am stressing out so bad about things. I literally probably have 11 weeks worth of cleaning to do. I feel like I am not doing something right since I don't feel like I'm "nesting" Oh well. I am going to make myself I guess. Ha! Anyways... in other news. VBS is going great. I can't believe that the week is already almost over. Time flies when you have fun I guess. We have so far had an amazing group of kids. We started out slower this year 29 the first night, 36 the second night, and I'm egar to see how tonight goes. They are all having a blast and seem to be really enjoying what they are learning.
I dread going to the doctor on Monday, I am afraid she will be upset about how much weight I've gained. I haven't weighed at home at all because I don't see a point in upsetting myself, plus the scales there are always way off from ours. I think I may just be in one of those hormonal moods today. Pregnancy can be so hard sometimes! I love this little girl and all of her movements, but I don't like the cry baby I've become even more of!
I am getting very excited however for our baby shower that is in like 2 weeks! I am mailing invitations tomorrow so you should be getting them soon! Hopefully! Well I guess that's all I have to say. Vote on when Baby Jade will be here and see who will win the bragging rights of being the closest one! Ha!
We love you all!
Kenny, Becca, and Baby Jade
