wow so much has gone by, sometimes I'm really good at this stuff and other times well not so much.... let's see Meeka's Birthday was a hit!!! We got everyone to help us chip in and we were able to get her a new swing set. It's really nice, it took Nixon and my uncle 2 and a half days to put the thing together, but Meeka loves it!! I over bought on the food, what's new. I always say better to have to much than not enough. All the grandparents were there, my mom was able to come up with Aalleia, who is now 4 or 5 I believe, she still drives me crazy though. I have to give it to my mom for being able to manage her like she does, I know that she wouldn't last a month in our home. I had my first appt with the dr on 8-3-08. Everything seemed o.k. heart beat was at 170 which is strong and healthy, the baby was 7 weeks 5 days, so right on track. My next appt is 8-31-10 This one I get to talk with my actual Dr. I have a lot of questions this time around. Especially since I will be having a repeat c section and my last one went horrible... I recovered o.k. but I bruised really bad I think back to it and just cringe. I'm a trooper in any situation though so I know that things will be o.k. I'm a lot more at ease now that I know my mom can come out for sure this time around ( by herself) and help out for a month. I was stressing out what we were going to do with Meeka during the whole thing. I didn't know so now I feel a lot better about that.

This pregnancy has been very different than Meeka that is for sure. I"ve had to switch my eating habits already, my diet, and a lot of other things. I'm always bloated and gassy, yuck :( I don't think I'm quite showing yet, which makes me a little nervous. I don't know why but this time around I'm not as excited as I was with Meeka, I'm more scared. I just hope and pray that everything is o.k. with this little one. Maybe because he's giving me such a hard time I'm not sure? I'm just really excited to go to my Dr's I'm hoping that we'll be able to hear the heart beat that will put a lot at ease for me if that's possible. Also like I said I'm not really showing yet so it's still hard for me to believe. I did get ultra sound pics though, so that was pretty cool :) It made things pretty concrete.

There are so many things already that I want to get, a new bassinet, a new swing, we need another crib and bedding. The list goes on and on.... I've been looking on ebay and craigs list to try and save some money cause everyone knows how expensive baby stuff is.. especially on a tight budget like ours ;)

That pretty much sums things up for now. oh I forgot to mention that Meeka got some polly pocket stuff from the neighbor girl, Nixon and I thought it would be a little too much for her since it's so tiny, she won't let the stuff go, it was so cute today for her nap she brought it all into her crib to sleep with her... She always brings a toy with her to sleep and this time she brought her polly pocket stuff. I'm so amazed at how much she understands all the time. She still doesn't talk a lot but she sure does understand and is absolutely adorable!! She just melts my heart.
