Panic!

I was alone this weekend and had that panic of “Oh my God…Am I going to be a good mom? Will I be an enabler? Will I be too hard? Will she hate me at some point?” I finally concluded that my answer to all of these questions is simple….YES!
I think this is the only simple answer I could come up with to make me feel better. I figure I'm going to be great at somethings and not so great at other things.
One thing is for sure...I will be the best mom that I can be. I will not feel guilty when I do things different from other moms. I will just try to do my best job!

34 weeks and a Model Pregnancy!

Yep, that's what Dr. Bailey said today at my 34th week check up! I cannot believe we are right there at the end! I honestly have to say that I have really enjoyed being pregnant. I'm going to miss it. Although, that does not mean that I'm going to be ready for another one right away.

We are finishing up all of the details for Mila. We've compiled a list of things we still need before she arrives and we are finishing up decorating her room and washing and hanging all of her clothes. It's so crazy, but so much fun!

I cannot wait to see her smiling face...I just have a feeling that she is going to be such a happy girl!

Baby Shower

My best friend, Ashley Deason-Palmero and Kari Cantrell, threw me a baby shower on October 16, 2010. It was so nice to have friends and family over to our new house. We received tons of great gifts that I can't wait to try out when Mila gets here. Hopefully, I will be able to post pictures in the next few days.

Love, Sandy

32 weeks!

I had my 32 week check up yesterday with Dr. Gorman. So far, everything is looking good! I fell the other day comnig in from the garage and he explained how protected Mila is and that made me feel so much better! Elvis had his own doctor's appointment for his back, so he couldn't go with me. BOO! But, Ashley asked if she could go instead. She got to hear the heartbeat for the first time. It's still so amazing! My next appointment is in 2 weeks with Dr. Bailey...it will be my 34th week. We are getting so close, yet time seems to be standing still.

I finally met Mr. Acid Reflux. I don't like him and I hope he never returns! Sleeping is getting more & more difficult. I have ended up on the couch twice now. I feel awful leaving Elvis, but I just can't sleep. Between the bathroom breaks & the aching back, sleep is short coming. However, I truly believe it is a way for my body to prepare me for when Mila arrives.

We have all of our ideas and everything in motion for Mila's room. I cannot wait to have it finally done. Until then, I will try to stay patient and calm!

55 days to go...at the most...um, hopefully!

28 weeks

I had my 28 week update today. Dr. Bailey said everything was superb! That's always nice to hear. Unfortunately, Elvis missed this doctor appointment, but he didn't miss much. As usually, I got to hear the heart beat...a strong 155 beats per minute! I, however, told myself I would lay off of the Dr. Pepper. PopTarts are too tasty to give them up!

We have everything for the baby room and now we have to start putting it all together! We're so excited!

12 weeks = 84 days to go!

It's Kickin' Time!

Mila is already on a schedule. She kicks around 9am, here and there during the day, 9pm, 2am, and 5am. Elvis talks to her every morning before he goes to work and she goes crazy! If he puts his hand on my belly or hears his voice, she goes wild! I can already tell she's going to be a daddy's girl!
