Oh Deer!!

What an interesting week!! I have been trying to go back to the gym a few times a week. I have really missed going and was glad to get back. But, last Sunday night I was driving home and came upon a deer standing on the side of the road. I was driving at a speed to where I couldn't just stop so, I held onto the wheel and closed my eyes and braced myself for whatever was going to happen. Poor little thing (well, not really) decided to run smack into my car. I opened my eyes and was still on the road, so that was a relief. But, I knew I had hit it pretty hard and had to have alot of damage to my car. So, a little shaken, I reached down to get my cell to call Brandon to tell him what had just happened, and it was missing from my cupholder (the usual spot). Thank goodness I was able to drive home because I could have easily been stranded if I had ran off the road. Well, my bumper had to be replaced and I was out a vehicle all week. Thankfully, Brandon had taken a vacation week this week and we were able to drive his truck all week. The poor little deer caused $1200.00 worth of damage to my car. Thank Goodness for Insurance!!

Campbell Reese

I just wanted to post a few pictures of the newest addition to our family. Campbell Delaney Reese was born on September 2, at 8:47 am. She weighed 8lbs and 7 ozs and is doing great. She is eating really well and is sleeping a pretty good bit at night! She has been getting up only once in the middle of the night and then up again around 5:00a.m.-6:oo a.m. We are trying to increase her formula intake so maybe she will go a little longer. Abby is doing well with her, although she never wants to leave her side. We went for a checkup yesterday and poor Abby was so worried we were going to have to leave her. So far, she has been a big help and is going to be a great big sister!

Baby C is on the Way!!

I went to the doctor yesterday and they scheduled a c-section for Wednesday, September 2. I am glad it is scheduled, but really wished it was sooner. Two weeks is a long time when you have been pregnant since last Christmas!! I am also scheduled for a possible tubal.....which means no more babies for us! I can change my mind at any time, but I think we are positive (if this baby is healthy at birth) we don't want any more little ones. I think two (especially being girls) is enough....we don't want to be outnumbered.

I really don't think it has hit me or Brandon that we are about to have 2 kids. Abby has been the only child for so long. I am sure it is going to be a big adjustment for all of us!!

Abby's 1st Day of School

Abby's 1st day of school was on Wednesday. She was excited about going back, but when we got there she was a little clingy. I guess it was the new teacher and new faces she saw when she walked in. When I picked her up she was all smiles, and she told me she had a fun day. I am so glad she enjoys going to school!

34 Weeks!!!

Iwent to the Doctor today for my 34 week appointment (although I will be 35 weeks on Monday). Everything is looking good, and I feel like this baby is no longer kicking but rolling around in my stomach. It is amazing to sit and watch my stomach change shapes when she moves around. I go back in 2 weeks and I think they are going to do an ultrasound and check the postion/size of the baby and hopefully schedule my c-section!

Playing some Golf

Brandon has been playing a little golf here lately.....so Abby decided she had to start playing too. We had to get her a small golf club at Target so she could hit golf balls with Brandon. Thank goodness she was hitting plastic golf balls!!

28 weeks!!

Yesterday I went for my 28 week appointment and everything is going well. I am starting to have trouble sleeping at night and I am tired by the end of the day, but other than that I feel pretty good. We also had a 4D ultrasound yesterday. It was amazing!!! We got so many good pictures. We had the 4D with Abby, but she didn't want to cooperate and was almost too large to do a 4D. We got lots of facial shots with this baby and we even got a few shots of her "Girly Parts". When I got home I pulled out Abby's 4D pictures to compare. They really look alot alike!
Everyone keeps asking me is Abby excited about the baby. Well, I believe she will be when it gets here, but for now she is just worried about the baby taking her toys. She keeps asking me when we are going to Babies R Us to buy the baby her own toys. She also knows her birthday is coming up right after the baby gets here. I think she is more concerned about herself than getting a new baby sister, which is okay.
