Blast from the Past

The weekend started early even though we worked on Friday! My lil sis Aunt GiGi I think is what Savvy will call her came over to spend the night and of course create a new hair do on this head of mine! I needed a change! I colored it dark brown Wed night then chopped it all off Thurs night.... and let me say the color and cut look FANTASTIC.... by the way if you do not know GiGi is my 16 year old sis who is done with High School just awaiting graduation in May and is in cosmotalogy school and doing an awesome job... she will graduate from there in June!!! To be 17 and already finished with all your schooling... WOW!

Fri we made our way to Turkey Creek Rd and enjoyed some quality time with hubby's family... Saturday morn we cooked some yummy breakfeast then packed up and headed to the LOVELIEST VILLAGE ON THE PLAINS....... Auburn Alabama.... where hubby and I met and fell in love... I still do not know how anyone can go to Auburn and not fall in love with the city... it is such a wonderful place to be and I so miss it! I would love to move back if only we could!!!!

Saturday we took Savvy around campous and took pics of Sanford Hall and Tomers Corner and the beloved Auburn University sign in front of Sanford Hall.... Savvy enjoyed running around in the green green grass! It was nice to be back in the old place! Then we met up with some wonderful good friends of ours and hung out until 1/2 time of the Auburn game...

Sunday we went to a family reunion and got to see cousins and distact relatives of mine who I had not seen in years!

It was a GREAT weekend all thogether!

I think Savvy has her a boyfriends and my good firen Mel needs to watch out cause she has some compitition!

I will post pics later on!!!!

We are back in the real world today and my work is giving me a Baby Shower today... Ill post pics of it later too!

ENT... possible surgery

I had to go to the ENT yesterday for this sinus crud I have been dealing with for months now. And his verdict was.......

I have a bad sinus infection with Broncitis and he called it something like Brocial-Sinusitis... I am sure I mispelled that! Nothing contagious but something that cause me to get really sick when allergies flare up. He also said pregnancy does not help this it makes it worse but with me it did not matter either way cause pregnant or not I get it just as bad! So here is my future:

After little moebaby is born I have to go back and get evealuated, then I get to have a CT scan... I have a deviated septum that is causeing major issues on my left side... I have to sleep elevated forever (which is fine with me I am use to it now!) and the possibility of major sinus surgery is in the future.... which my wonderful huby says I don't need to do....

He says that it is not worth it, that everyone he has talked to says it does not work and they would never do it again.... he has only talk ed to 2 people... but my sis in law had it done and she does not really fight this crap like I do... and my lil sis boy friend had it done and he said it really was not that bad... I need to research this alittle more. Not that I can have it done for a few months anyways!

But on a good note my EARS looked great... I have had multiple ear surgeries so was expecting them to say something about them being bad!!!! But I have tried my best to avoid those problems like not swimming under water, becareful not to get water in my ears.... so on and so on!

Well that is my update on sickness.... the Moore household is a sickly bunch right now, Hubby and Savvy are fighting the same cough and crap! But none of us are contagious... just our wonderful allergies!

Head Down, Butt on the Right and Feet Kicking the Left

That would be how my little man is chilling out in my tummy right now! I was wondering what parts I was feeling where.... on my right side I feel a large item moving around... on the left side I feel medium movements... and down low I keep feeling small little movements.... so his head is down low and I feel his little hands moving around down there.... then his butt is on my right side and when he streches it kinda hurts! then his little feet get to going on my left side....

That is what I thought but could not decide if he was head down or up!!!

Blood pressure is perfect... no swelling so far... still hurting down low but now we know it is because he is head down putting pressure down there!... everything else is going good...

I have dropped some so he is VERY low.....

7 to 10 weeks and counting!!!!

____________________________________________________________________

Little irritated with the husband right now.... but I am trying to get over it... he is not quite understnading that in a few weeks going to sleep at 7:30 is going to be a thing of the past and that I can not and should not be the only one up at night taking care of both kids...

I expressed my worries this morn and he said he would come up with a plan today and we would talk about it....

HERE IS THE PLAN..... (no questions)

He needs to get up at night and help... not just let Savvy crawl in bed with him and go back to sleep she needs to understand that we sleep in that bed she sleeps in hers and baby L will be in his soon enough... but instead the wonderful hubby of mine just lets her curl up with him so he does not have to actually WAKE UP or GET UP and do something ..... ARGH I was a little peeved last night when she had some tight terrors that woke her up at 930 (I had just gotten to sleep) 100 and 300.... oh yeah and 430 but by then I was about to get up so I just let her sleep on the couch next to me.... I mean if we are about to get up then yes it is fine to let her sleep the last little bit with us but not all night long starting at 930....

Okay sorry for my rant this morn.... lack of sleep.... uncomfy... freaking out a little bit that I will be doing EVERYTHING....

A long productive weekend, a short work week

This wonderful long weekend provided the Moore household some time to work on some much needed house projects. My wonderful hubby finished up the screened in porch, cloroxed the house and eves... and started to add a fresh new coat of paint to the exterier (who could not match the greeny color the house was but found a close grey color that looks bright and clean so fresh on the house) I on the other hand had the indoor jobs....

Friday night I was full of energy for some reason and came home and swept, vacummed and mopped the floors.... then Saturday I pretty much vegged at the house while chaseing a 22 month old around and around.... then Sat night I got to enjoy a night out with some girls watching Auburn football... oh yeah and Bamma but I was more interested in the Auburn game of course (but the way they looked AWESOME and I am impressed, but back to my productive weekend)..... Sunday we went to church then came home and I started my "NESTING" well I started last weekend with the Kitchen organization... Sunday it was time for living room and dinigroom then to finish off some painting projects that I have been meaning to do.... all finished! Monday morn I got up hubby had to go to work and Savvy and I cleaned up the living room AGAIN and I organized her toys, then worked on her room organization and the nursery.... also I rearranged the DVDs in the livingroom so I could have some storage for some of my stuff....

but this weekend I am going to have to redo the DVDs and have them in ABC order..... my OCD annual "NESTING" is driving me crazy to have them in ABC order!!!!!! Also I have to organize the closet (my shoes are a mess thanks Savvy who loves wearing them) and the bathroom.... I swear the "NESTING" is driving me a little crazy cause I can not sit at home and do everything I want to do....

All this being said my mom seems to think that the wopping 8 weeks until I am full term will not happen she seems to think little mr is gonna come in mid Oct.... she and everyone I know keep telling me how low I am how much he has dropped and how HUGE I am.... which is fine with me cause I agree! On a positive note I am all baby so far... from the back end I dont look all that pregnant from the side BAM no mistaken it!!!! Can't hide it not at all!!!!!

So we have some busy weekes ahead of us.... my mom is working on the bedding.... I have some organizing to do..... hubby has some painting to do.... on top of that the 1st weekend in Oct we have a family reunion (that would be 3 weeks away) in Auburn which I really want to go to... then the following weekend some good friends are giving us a baby shower.... then the next weekend I plan on orgnaizing baby shower gifts.... then the next weekend I have a wedding reception to help give (oh Ill be so much help) then the last weekend in Oct on Halloween Savvy's Birthday party..... I can't wait..... get me through those few weekends and little mr can come on out and join us!!!!!!!

Well the week is 1/2 over and after today I have 1 day then the weekend.... short weeks are nice but schedules get tossed out the window and things tend to be a little CRAZY! Ill be happy for the weekend once it gets here!

Glucose Screening and 26 Week Check Up

My wonderful husband slept a little late this am, got up got ready for work, got Savannah ready for school and they headed out together leaving sleepy momma on the couch to continue catching the zzzzs since I could not eat anything this morn... he gets an A+

So I went to the dr this morn to chug down the ORANGE suger drink that they force upon you... just to make sure your glucose levels are good to go... okay so yes this is an importnant step in the pregnancy... let's hope I pass with FLYING COLORS... I def do not want to have a 3 hour test and a special diet in the future.... I think I am official at +2 or 3 lbs.... the special diet I would have to follow would keep me at those 2 or 3 lbs and the dr would be VERY unhappy!!!!! I am slowly gaining weight.

Well I am measuring right on and dr said to continue what I am doing which means modified activity still a to do.... husband is doing well to help keep me on trackand he is doing well caring for savvy without my help!!!! I feel like a bad momma... esp when she is crying in the middle of the night wanting me to hold and snuggle her and I have to walk her to Jason.... she could get on the couch with me but my belly takes up most of the room... I feel like I am losing my contection wih her and I am finding myself jelous of daddy's conection... she wants him more than me now...

Well I have my next apt in 4 weeks then I go to every 2 weeks (for 3 apts) then it is every week... there are only around 7 more visits before baby will arrive!!!!!

I am 26 weeks... measuring a little over that! I have 10 ish weeks before baby can come at anytime and 14 weeks before my due date.... time is flying and I can't wait to meet this active little boy!!!!!!

I am not SUPERMOM....

Well we are back from the beach and the Moore family had a WONDERFUL time.... Savvy didn't really like the sand and ocean but she sure did love the pool.... she would take off and splash and jump in the 1/2 to 3 foot water in the wade in area.... her and her 2 crazy cousins (all 3 are crazy) were the center of attention and it took the adults every ounce of energy to keep up with them... I can't wait until next year when Savvy and baby get to play together at the beach!!!!

I came back to work with a load of emails, questions, and STRESSSSSSSSS man it has been one thing after another, we just can't please the big bosses here... and most of the time it is because of lack of communication from above... I AM NOT A MIND READER!!!!

Savvy started a new room/building in the daycare this week... Monday was shaky at drop off but then Tues she took off and didn't look back... it helps that there is an indoor playground for them to play on... and that she and Kyekye (my neice) are in there together!!!

Our nephew Kaka started school on Thursday... I can't beleive he is old enough to go to school... where have the last 5 years gone????

Wed morn I woke up spotting... I had to go to L&D for observation... baby does not like having monitors on... he was in kick mode all day! Which I enjoyed cause I knew he was A-ok. I had an ultrasound and all checked out to be okay... he is now over 2lbs.... what a BIG boy he is!!!!! I have an irittated cervix.... I can't lift anything over 10lbs... which cause a problem cause Savvy is 26lbs.... it is so hard for her to understand... and well I cant exactly follow the orders 100%... I am just not carrying her all around the house!

Days like that make me aware that I am not supermom... superwife... superemployee... and that I really just need to stop and slow down... of course I came back to work yesterday to more STRESSSSS and work CRAP which just helps with a pregnant lady!!!!!!

I get to go back and see the doc on Tues for a wonderful glucose screening test.... YUMMY

No more Infant Building

As the Moores prepare for a new arrival in just a matter of months we find our little Moesavvy growing and changing. Our next exciting change comes Aug 10th when she starts the toddler building... and starts POTTY TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!! We have worked with her at home but to no avail because in the room she is in right now they will not work with her... this is all about to change and our little savvy little girl will be wearing "BIG GIRL PANTIES" and learning to use a potty!!!!!!!!

I am torn, I will miss the infant building but it will be so nice to have only 1 in diapers come Nov!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------

Communication Breakdown

At work at this time I am experienceing comunication breakdown... where the big bosses seem to forget to tell the peions what they are expecting them to work on.... I am not a mind reader by any means... wish I was!


-----------------------------------------------------------

To The Beach We Go

5 days until the BEACH!!! WOHOO

5 days relaxing on the beach as a family!


------------------------------------------------------------

Count Down to Moebaby

17 weeks until due date, 16 until where he is measuring, 14 until I can have him at any time!!!

We were in a meeting today and I realized that July is OVER and that I have Aug (1) Sep (2) Oct (3) and then Nov is here.... 3 months until the month I am due

I will be 37 weeks Nov 1 so anytime after that I can have Moebaby

Deep Sleep, What is that???

So all night long I tossed and turned (as well as a 5 month pregnant woman can do) my back was hurting and Moebaby thought it was party time! Well then the storm came through and actually got me relaxed and I was drifting to sleep. Then Moedaddy left for work, I was 1/2 asleep at this time but remember him telling me bye and to get up early and get on the road because of the rain... that is when the DEEP SLEEP took full effect over me. Next thing I know it is 5:45... I got up and headed to my bedroom to get ready, very happy that Moesavvy was still in her bed sleeping.... I did not check on her but she normally is either on the couch with me or in her bed...

NOT THIS TIME......

I walk into my room and there she is sound asleep on mine and Moedaddy's bed... I call Moedaddy a little irritated that he did not wake me up and let me know she was in our bed... Moedaddy was so confused when he left he checked on her and she was asleep in her bed.... so after he left she got up walked past me in the livingroom and climbed into mommy and daddy's bed all by herself... what are we going to do with this crazy girl???

I felt horrible, what a bad mom I was to sleep through this entire event... at least she did not hurt herself...

Moedaddy and I have decided we are purchasing some baby gates for the house... we have a wondering little girl!

22 week Dr apt

So I took the day off yesterday and ran to a few stores!!!! I finished getting some baby and birthday presents, got the material for Moebaby's bedding, got letters to hang in both kids rooms, got a few storage bins, just alot of items to finish up the rooms!!!!

I then went home and started painting!!!!!! The letters look GREAT!!!!!

Moebaby's are LCM.... L and M are orange with blue poka dots, the C is blue with orange!!!!

Moesavvy's are SLM.... all are purple with green pink and blue poka dots!!!!!

I will post pics once I have them hanging!!!!

I have another project to work on... I bought 4 canvas to paint on... 2 for each kid....... they will be the colors that cordinate with their rooms! I am going to have Moedaddy's, mine, and both of their hand prints on the canvas!!!!! I think it will be neat to see it all together!

So then I went to my drs apt.........

I gained like 2lbs, so I am finally gaining! But he said still I was not gaining much... well I am trying...He said he did not think it was a problem YET... my iron seemed good and everything else looked good too! I go back in 4 weeks (Aug 18) for my GLUCOSE test.... yucky!

Moebaby is on the move!!!! He is a little kicker!!!

I am 22 weeks, acording to ultrasounds he was measuring 5 days early so by that I am around 23 weeks....

So I have 18 weeks until my due date (Nov 22), 17 until the day he was measuring (Nov 17), and 15 until I can have him at anytime (Nov 1)!!! I am going to guess he will come around Nov 11... that was Moesavvy's due date.....

Apparently we are not "FEELING" Grant

So i thought we had agreed on a name. Alexander Grant Moore.... but no Moedaddy informed me last week that he did not like the name anymore. He said everytime he heard it he thought Alexander Grahm Bell.... silly boy!!!

So our little growing boys name is Landon Christopher Moore!!! I love it, I have always like the name Landon so it is perfect!!!!

Moedaddy cracks me up! We were painting Moebaby's room yest and he was looking around and said... I just dont think this room looks like a boy room... we need to switch the furniture around in these rooms! So we did!

Moesavvy's room is yellow and white, the bedding is bright blue and green, we added pink and purple to those colors! Very bright and fun!!!!!

Moebaby's room is AUBURN!!!! It is yellow but with Aunburn pics everywhere!

I am glad we swaped the rooms because the furniture in both rooms looks so much better!!! Both rooms look bigger!!!!

Still have some organizing and baby bedding to make make it is coming along nicely!

Moesavvy All GROWN UP

Moesavvy moved into her new bed Sunday night... this is the 2nd bed transition in a few months!!!!

We were not making her move beds Sunday night just getting things set up to start the process but she fell in love with the bed and as we set the room up she started bringing stuffed animals and blankies in with her to put on the new bed!!!!

She is now sleeping in a daybed, we pulled the trundle out for ease for her getting in and out and incase she rolls off during the night... but she is very good about moving away from the edge in her sleep....

Also on Sunday she had quite a few BIG girl things to show us.... like saying "COOKIE" and singing "Clean up clean up..." song while picking up her toys...

Our house is a mess right now as we transition it for another baby....... it is an interesting experience chasing a toddler while organizing a house!!!!

19 weeks until my due date..... 18 weeks until the day he is measuring.... 16 weeks until I could have him at anytime!!!!

4 wonderful years

Today is our anv!!!!! 4 wonderful years with such a fantastic man! God has truly blessed me in my life. Moedaddy is such a wonderful husband and great dad but on top of that he has a yerning to be more God like, he is a great spiritual leader in our household. We are growing together in the Lord and raising Moesavvy to follow in Christ foot steps, there is nothing more I can ask for in life than that! Now we are expecting Moebaby that will join in our walk!!!
Thank you God for placing this wonderful man in my life, I have enjoyed growing together and am looking forward to raising our kids in the church and to have the love for the Lord that we share, and the compassion that we hold.

Jason, my wonderful hubby.... you are my strong hold, protector, and comforter. Thank you for loving me!

Last night my girls and I finished our 10 week study.

A Women's Heart God's Dwelling Place by Beth Moore

What a wonderful bible study!

I have enjoyed the fellowship, food, tears, laughter, talks, complaints, and the time to be a women and nothing more with some Godly women in the word of the Lord.

Every single one of you have a special place in my heart and I have such a deep respect for everyone of you. I pray that our group continues on this road together and lift each other up and hold each other accountable!

I needed this study and had longed for something more since high scholl when I belonged to another study!

Esther here we come!!!!

Here is a pic that I took from Rachel's Blog!!!!!! Thanks Rach!!!
