"El Bebe" Update

Well we went to the OB again today. I begged and pleaded but they will not take "El Bebe" out! I go back in two more weeks and then every week after that. She says the baby is gonna be another biggin - bella was 8 lbs, 11 oz. Right now she is measuring at 6lbs and I still have like 4 or 5 weeks left! I feel like I am gonna explode! This pregnancy is definately not as enjoyable as the 1st time around. Oh well we'll just have to be patient..........

My Impatience

My impatience has set in - well actually it has been set in for a while - I have just recently made it known! I could not imagine making it until my c-section on 11/2/07 so I asked my OB when was the soonest we could do it. So our new date is 10/29/07 - and he promises I can be out by Halloween for my peanut girl. I will probably not be up for the whole trick-or-treating but at least I can be around to get her dressed and take some pics! So that only leaves us like 5 1/2 more weeks to come up with a name for "El Bebe" as we call her now. I still can not believe we have let this go for so long! I think we are both just holding out for the other to give in to our favorites! Too bad no one has budged. But I still figure I should get the last say since I am the one getting sliced open - again! Just my viewpoint though!

My Little Book Worm

One day all got quiet and you know quiet usually lead to trouble. So off I went in search of Bella and this is what I found.



She had gotten into her room, helped herself to a book off her bookcase, and sat down at her table to read.



And she had pulled out a book about dogs - all of which she calls Bubba after our dog Roscoe - who we call Bubba.



I just love the serious face. She is so funny too - she loves books as much as I do but she will not sit for you to read one to her - she has to do it on her own. She will sit for 45 minutes and "read" by herself - but if you try to read to her you'll be lucky to mnake it through two pages before she tells you no and closed the book saying all done!

Car Wash

Daddy was outside washing all the cars yesterday so Bella and I decided to join him. Before she realized what was going on she got distracted by the flowers - she loves to smell flowers! Although at the moment - these look more like weeds - but they are flowers - promise!



Bella found the bucket of soapy water and had to check if it was okay to get into it! I am not looking forward to this stage ending and her doing whatever she wants!



Here she is getting into the bucket of water.



She thought she could carry it away to play with it - until she realized how heavy it was. Little does she know Daddy has the hose!







I love how she hates to be in the shower but it's totally okay when its the outside hose instead - talk about a country girl at heart!



Sorry about the cut off head but she was running away pretty quick and its still a cute pic. Plus I was using my mom's camera and am still mastering the difference. Needless to say Bella had a blast out there - even if she never did get around to helping Daddy wash the car - by this point her diaper was lugging her down and it was time for lunch anyway.

My Sis Is Having A Boy!

My sister called me after her ultrasound today and told me she is having a boy! I was completely wrong - I thought for sure it was gonna be a girl. I am so excited! I went out today and bought him two little outfits - don't tell hubby - he took my debit card away! But I had a secret stash of leftover money to spend! I can't help it - I love to buy baby things!

My wonderful hubby also just bought me a 2001 Dodge Durango. I LOVE it! It has every option you could imagine and then some! He is so pretty! (my truck - not my hubby - I would never call him pretty!) And I am so glad because he went to the auto auction and not only did he get a fabulous deal on it but he almost came home with a minivan for me instead. Not to knock them but they are so not my speed! So I am forever grateful to him for that. I really like that it has a 3rd row seat that folds down flat too - not taking it out. So when we move to NC and I start watching my new nephew I have room for all 3 car seats! Not sure where I will be able to go with three tiny ones by myself but hey - other people do it - so can I!

We decided to move in January - we are going to rent our house out to a friend since the market here sucks so bad. I am so excited to move and be close to my sister again. We are probably gonna rent a house for a year or two until we sell ours in FL so we don't get in over our heads with 2 mortgages! I am not looking forward to the car ride with my two beast dogs though - especially my Roscoe (Bubba) as he likes to stand over your shoudler and pant and drool the entire car ride!!! We will have to sucker someone else into driving him! And he is so not allowed in my new truck!

My dad has been greatly improving - they have taken his trach and his feeding tube out and he is sitting up and feeding himself. They have started getting him up to stand and walk a little bit although he is still very weak and unsteady. But he looks so good compared to the 1st day in the hospital. I am so impressed with how far he has come. They are trying to get him into a nursing home or rehab facility soon.

I never did get my new camera - Justin found the warantee on the stinkin Sony that doesn't zoom. Hopefully thay will not have been able to fix it and I can get a new one! Here's to hoping anyways. I have borrowed my mom's in the meantime - she has the same new Sony that I was gonna buy to replace my old one. But of course - Bella is staying the night with her tonight - so no pics! I will post some soon though I promise.
