First of all let me say THANK YOU to all those who took the journey out to the country for our Baby Shower. Hopefully the margaritas and Lupe Tortilla's mexican food brought you back to life!! Then you were put to sleep after indulging in my favorite ecstasy of all time....CAKE!!!!! My poor friend Donna ( who is 17 weeks pregnant ) over did herself on it and had a little "Meet the Potty Party" when we got back to my house that night! I can definitely say that our house is beginning to look like a Babies R' Us Store now with all your generosity!! I truly had no idea how much stuff it takes to get ready for the little man to get here!!
Jaxton's furniture has finally arrived here in Houston at some warehouse and we should have it here in a few days....14 weeks later!!! Ross may have to run down to Home Depot to get the right tools to put it together....hopefully though I have enough of them in "MY TOOLBOX" to get the job done.....yes, I did say my toolbox because I have yet to see Ross's!! When I married him he showed up with a set of "miniature screwdrivers" and half of those were missing anyways!!
The last few weeks have gone by so fast since my last doctor's apt. One of my doctor's tried to pull up my shirt to see if my belly button had popped out yet!!!!! Thank goodness for quick reflexes or he might have gotten stuck by one of the black stray hairs that seems to keep growing around my belly button!!!! Tweezers were a great invention!!! Then one of my other doctor's was sitting next to me at a dinner program asking me how I was feeling and then said " I see Jaxton is a STRONG boy...you are getting a mustache!!!!!!!" What??? Little did he know that I just can't stand getting my upper lip waxed and I can't use Sally Hansen's hair removal due to the chemicals so I have been just praying it won't grow too long...BUT I guess my prayer hasn't been answered!!! Mach 5 here I come!!!!
Okay, it has been 3 weeks since my last doctor's apt and now they will be every 2 weeks until 36 weeks then we will go every week thereafter. Jaxton I know has really grown these past few weeks because I can feel his kicks are much stronger now. Nothing like detailing my doctor and then going "ugh" when he gets a rib!! I even felt his hiccups for sure twice in one day. They were like little constant thumps for about 5 minutes!! They say that it doesn't hurt them like it hurts us but that if they do it in the womb they will probably do it when they are born. I also can feel his feet kicking on one side of my stomach and his hands punching on the other side when I am sleeping at night so he must be getting longer too!! As for his testosterone....he is secreting WAY TOO MUCH into my blood stream because the unwanted friends are back to PARTAY on my face once again!!
Last, but I wish it was the least, I have gained 6 more pounds to make a grand total of 23 pounds so far!!! I have actually made it into the 140's now!!!!!! Wow!! I knew I was there when I tried to look down and couldn't see my WOOWOO anymore!!!
Please keep us in your daily prayers that the LORD will continue to BLESS us with a healthy pregnancy AND that no matter what Stephanie puts in her mouth over the next few more weeks let her metabolism RISE to this special occasion so she doesn't look like Miss Piggy with a Mustache!!!!
