Ready for Our Happy Ending

    I haven't updated on our pregnancy in awhile and I've had a lot of people ask how things are going. Things are going good but about to get very busy!! We are seeing Dr. sellers every 2 weeks now. We saw him yesterday and baby Colts heartbeat was 155. Very good and strong heartbeat. He's measuring a little big and momma isn't gaining weight at all. GO FIGURE THAT!! Lol..... My dad just doesn't believe that at all!! Haha.....We go for a growth scan in 2 weeks to make sure he's measuring good and that my fluids are The right level. I'm also getting a 4D ultrasound on October 4. We are excited about that. Once I hit 32 weeks they will start doing stress tests on me and the baby to make sure baby is moving like he should be and that his heart is good and strong. My doctor doesn't think I will carry till 40 weeks... He's guessing somewhere between 37-38 weeks. He's trying to prep me and Cody for when I hit 34-35 weeks for our anxiety to kick in, because we lost Tinlee at 35 weeks. To be honest I'm trying not to think about it, but its always in the back of my head. 

   Emotionally, Cody and I are doing really good. We've gotten past some things we were dreading, like packing Tinlees things up and baby registering. I really really dreaded Registering. I wanted to go because I know baby Colt needs some things that I don't have, but I dreaded looking at all the baby stuff. But, it turned out to be a lot of fun and we ended up laughing a lot!! 

   Physically, I'm doing good. My back and hips bother me a lot, but I just try and go slow and take it easy as often as I can. This pregnancy is different because I seem to be carrying him straight out front and its pulling my back. I've finally started feeling him move!! I've been very glad about that. I was beginning to think I would never feel him move. After our 18 week ultrasound I was told that I had an anterior placenta, which is rare but not bad. It mainly meant that it put more cushion between me and the baby so I wouldn't feel him move until he got bigger. I started feeling him move around 25 weeks. And since then he hasn't stopped!! I love feeling his little kicks and feeling him roll around. Sometimes looks like a little alien in my belly doing cartwheels, but I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything. The biggest thing I want at this point is for him to be fully grown and get out of my body. I sometimes feel like his life wouldn't be as in danger as it is with him inside of me. I know many people will not understand that, but since losing a baby, I'm so nervous having a life grow inside of me. I know it's in God's hands and I trust Him, but that's my biggest fear. 

   Ok, to the good stuff!!! His NURSERY!! We hope to have Tinlees stuff completely cleaned out and put in attic by this weekend, so that my dad and Cody can paint next week. Then Cody can finish painting the furniture and I can decorate. I can't wait to see it all together. I'm doing a theme of antique trucks. We are painting the furniture black, one wall red/khaki stripes, one wall red, the others khaki, and my ceiling a light blue. I think it's going to look GREAT!!! 

   Please continue to keep us in your prayers. As we get closer and closer to the end of this pregnancy we get more and more anxious. We are so ready to hold this little guy in our arms and show him how much he is loved. It feels like we have been pregnant for 2 years;).… lol... And we are just so ready for our Happy Ending and to bring our healthy baby boy home.
