11 weeks to go...

Wow! I cant believe how fast time is going!! Lately I have been busy with Taylor, dr appointments, my first trip to the dentist to have "work" done - Oh and a 3d ultra sound of Addyson Lynn. Where should I Start?

Ill start with Taylor-

She now Can stand all by herself, for me this is a HUGE accomplishment and I am ecstatic everytime she does it!
She walks all over the house with her walker- and has taken 3 steps by herself... it wont be long!
She was cleared by the early interventionist to not need any therapies- they believe she is just laid back and will do things on her own time.
She knows how to stack blocks now! wooo I worked on this for 2 weeks with her and believe me there were many times we both wanted to throw the blocks at each other!
She cuddles with her baby well and all of her toys!
She can eat a WHOLE banana -- im not kidding she is a eating machine!

So to wrap up on Taylor - I could go on and on... She is doing great considering she was 9 weeks early. :) Thank goodness it could have been worse.

On to Addyson Lynn

she rolls from side to side now in my tummy.
She has the hiccups at least once a day.
She weighs around 1 lb 10 oz ( yes I know that seems tiny, give her a break! )
Everything looks great!

Again I could go on forever about my girls but ill save some for later!

On to Nick.

He is finally settling in to the swing of things in Korea. Although we miss each other very much this is a "bump" in our marriage that we will look back on and say "yay us we survived it!" He knows a couple of the guys that he works with and finally went out with them for a guys night the other night. ( i was proud.) <--- cheesy huh? lol Looks like if things go well he will be here in december for the birth, something we were both unsure about him getting to do but decided to take our chances and send him to Korea anyways... Im glad we did! Right now his only complaint is the amount of walking he has to do oh and the food... except for the Cake ( he eats a piece every night)

A quick update on myself.
I am doing fine. A little bit exhausted these days but I am embracing this "single" motherhood with open arms as Taylor and I have bonded in a way that we had not previous to Nick leaving. I do miss my husband I miss him a lot but I am so proud of his service and the sacrifices he is making to serve his country! Health wise things are looking a lot better since I was in the hospital, it was a wake up call to take care of myself. My BP has been normal and controlled with the medicine, Im just praying that I can hold Addyson in till december! My goal however is 34 weeks but I will keep pushing week by week after that!

I need to stop here and say a couple of thankyou's -

Mum- Thanks for keeping me sane without your level head I think these last 3 weeks I would have wanted to give up throw in the towel, but you didnt let me. Im gonna miss you heaps when you leave in ( 11 weeks) but i know that your happiness is far greater than me missing you. ( if that makes sense.) and we will be visiting next christmas you can count on it!

To my mother in law- geez i got lucky when it comes to having a mother in law. Most in laws would not have done what you did. Allowed me to live here helped me with Taylor and on top of it you sit with me at appointments! Thanks. Between you and becca and the rest of the family I have been able to keep my mind occupied!


whew I think im done - lol

well peace out readers and enjoy the rest of your week!! I know I will!!!

woooooooo 11 weeks to go!!!
