21 Weeks & Another Checkup

We are 21 weeks today & still kicking!

Today I got
to sneeze snot all over myself in the waiting room & overfill my pee cup, that dripped everywhere, & a new vitamin regimen added on & got a note to wear tennis shoes to work & heard a very strong heartbeat & got to ask the doctor to perform a prostate exam on the dear husband since he likes to be difficult at the appointments & got told I have gained back the last 2 pounds of the 10 pounds I had lost earlier on...oh & we got to schedule a sonogram for Monday afternoon! What a day I tell ya!

The new vitamin I get to take is a calcium pill with vitamin D since my bones hurt so bad that sometimes I feel like I need a walker just to walk. I do not like the taste, much less the smell of milk, so I do not drink it. So I have to take my prenatal vitamin with all of its glorious contents in the morning & the calcium pill in the evening before bed.

So, I cannot wait until Monday now to cure my curiosity of whether this little being is in fact a boy or a girl & so I can stop hearing
"when are you having a sonogram" "had a sonogram yet to know what you are having" "have you had a sonogram & you are just keeping it from us" "know when you will get one" etc. I guess it is only down hill from here. I remember getting testy when the farther along you get people start asking "you ready to have that baby yet", "you haven't had that baby yet" "when are you due, you look well over your due date" etc. I am just thankful this time it will be a planned c-section so as soon as we set a date I can tell everyone (hopefully) one time precisely when this little beaner will make the grand entrance into the world.

Until then, thank you Lord for giving me this opportunity to carry & nurture a precious life & please give me patience as I have been a little testy with people lately.

A Dad is....

a Teacher.
Strong.
a son's first Hero.
Helpful.
a special Person.
a Coach.
the most Beautiful thing in the world.

*I truly believe a girl cannot grow into the woman she is to become without her father there to guide her. My dad has always been there for my brothers & I. He was a young dad, but I think he did an awesome job.

Thank you Dad for always being there to support me, even when you did not agree with some of my decisions & for helping me grow into the woman I have become. I love you!

P.S. 'DJ' says you are the father he never had & appreciates everything you have taught him & for not giving up on him!

My Daddy is the best dad in the world &
married to the greatest woman
God could have ever made for him...


Here are 3 of us he raised...
Now my brothers
are wonderful fathers themselves..

**My husband is another great father I must acknowledge. Tho we started out young & have had our own trials to overcome, I think we have only grown that much stronger together.

I love you sweet man & would not have asked for a better man to father my children.

Here is my honey as a 1st time dad...

& he is one special guy too!

Our beautiful children are lucky
to have you in their lives.

A Mother is...

Born
a Guardian Angel Everyday
Something to be Loved
Worth
Truly a Blessing
Like a Queen
Something to be Honored
Irreplaceable
Something to be Treasured
The Purest Form of Love
Superior
a Life Giver
a Special Friend
Like No Other
Here is my mother @ 11months of age.

Here she is with four of her nine grandbabies!

Let me tell you a little about my mom, aka Granny.
She was born on Halloween 1958.
She met my dad in 1975 & they married May 11, 1976.
My brother Michael was born, October 21, 1976.
I soon followed on November 9, 1978.
Finally, there was Bo who was born June 17, 1980.
She is the sweetest, loving, most hardworking & supportive mother a girl could ever ask for & I know I am the luckiest woman alive to have been raised by her, along with my dad.
I would never trade her for anything!

I love you mom, thanks for giving me life & thank you God for giving me this wonderful woman I call MOM!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MOMS EVERYWHERE!!
