The third trimester
Finally in the third trimester, 32 weeks!! Its been a long haul but we have just June to go though before Rebecca arrives. We have her dresser ready and her clothes washed and put in it. I have most of the hospital bag packed and am working on Kyle's Big Bro Bag. Once everything is done I will post pics. Next Sunday is the shower that the DTS is putting on for us.
Troy had his surgery a couple weeks ago. He is still a bit sore on occasion and definitely can not have anything hit the spot. Otherwise he is doing great and says he hurts a lot less then he used to and the numbness is almost gone.
I am still very uncomfortable. I am getting anxious and am ready for her to be here. I am ready to be able to sleep a bit more comfortably at night. Honestly I got more sleep when Kyle was a newborn then I did while pregnant, so I hope that is the same this time.
Well that is my update for now, I know it is not much of one. Maybe I will have something more next week.

Things are going pretty good
Pregnancy is progressing beautifully. I have hired a doula. Rebecca kicks like a champ. Shots still hurt like hell. Sleep is pretty inexistent lol. Though I have my GD test on Wednesday and I doubt I will pass it. I have not been able to control my sugars lately. :-/ I guess we will see.
I have gone though all of Kyle's old clothes and taken a bunch to goodwill and then I have some I will sell that are in excellent shape and are name brand. Then I will go and buy Rebecca some. I have cleaned quite a bit out of our room and still have more to go before I can get a crib in plus a changing station. Kyle's closet needs revamped to hold both his and Becca's clothes. I also need to look for two tall dressers to replace Kyle's one long dresser so both kids have a place to stick things.
There are quite a bit of things I need to still do.
Troy is off work for 3 more weeks cause of his back. He goes on the 12th for an epidural steroid shot and then they reevaluate a week after that to see if he needs surgery to correct it.
It gives us a chance to get things done and organized so later on I dont have as much to do.
I also start a new school next fall. Which means I will be taking an infant with me so she can nurse while I learn to be a nurse. :-) I am so excited to finally see the end in sight with this nightmare of schooling.

Its that time...
To begin making lists and getting things bought! Lordy I did not realize how much we got rid of in the last 3 years and to top it off we have to get girl stuff.
Plus to top things off Troy meets with the back surgeon next monday. Come to find out his back in much worse then we thought and he has to have surgery asap. So he will be off of work for 3 months to a year. *head verses desk* Well one thing is he will get to see baby girl be born and with her for a while. Hopefully we can get it done asap so he can be recovered enough to not have issues when I am in labor, but thankfully I have an amazing team to help us during L&D. It is going to be a stressful 4 months.
Baby girl also has a name now... Rebecca Michelle! I am so glad to have a name for her and now Kyle and I can connect better with her.
Things are going good but rough at the same time. Hopefully it will stay towards the good side.

Catch up...
Everything is going great. We have a lot to get done. I have had my birth plan approved by my ob. The doula is hired. Anatomy scan went great....
We are having a GIRL!!!
She weighs about 11 oz and is measuring a bit behind but only by a few days so they are not worried at all because I am still on track and no issues going on. Now I have to go though everything and sell Kyle's old clothes and begin buying for the newbie.
Ok so here is a photo for you.

Planning things out
Do you know how hard it is to plan 5 months in the future? It is difficult. I still don't know what we are going to do with Kyle when I go into labor. I know I dont want him there because he does not like seeing me in pain. Heavens he does not even like seeing me get my shots. I do have most of his big sibling bag planned.
Read More
- Big bro/ big ? matching shirts
- Big brother scrubs
- Big brother/new baby books
- Harry Potter Quiet book
- Snacks
- A special prize
Plus the bag its self. I still need to write my birth plan again or find my old one. I think I may know where I saved it at. I have most of our amazon wish list down to what Troy and I both like and want all we have to do from there is weed down one gender or the other. We are also waiting on our tax check to come in so that we can purchase all 4 of the new carseats. I still have to bring all of our baby stuff out of storeage so I can clean it up and see what we can get rid of or need new. There is so much I need to do and I may be planning now but I doubt most of this will be done until May lol. 5 months is not enough time to get everything done.
My pintrest boards are over flowing with ideas for the baby and kids' room. Once we know the gender I can remove a lot of them becuase its difficult to plan ideas without knowing one gender or another. We only have 26 days until we find out! I am ready for it.
Our 16 week appointment went great. She found the heartbeat quickly and without issues. She also told us that she does not want us to do the amnio unless There is reason to indicate otherwise. So we did the triple screen which to come to find out does not have false positives, if there is no makers for a defect it usually means there is an issue with the placenta and the mom needs more watch. I am still continuing with my biweekly appointments and the long drive to the hospital. Although at my March 6th appointment we will be at the new hospital at the top of the hill so I wont have to drive down the curvy hill side.
Its been fun filled weeks and they will keep going and see what else is going to happen.

Getting excited and other things...
So we are past 15 weeks!!! I am so glad to finally say that. I have also gotten to feel some movement. Its not anything big but there are some very adorable movements. Kyle is getting very clingy. In fact he is sitting on my lap now. We have only been able to come up with girl names and Troy wont talk boy names which is probably jinxing us and we will end up with a boy lol. But all the names he likes begin with an R, So I think its safe to say that if it is a girl she will be referred to as Baby R until we come up with a name.
Although my dear mother in law has chipped in her 2 cents about boy names and is once again pushing the name Grant on to us because it is her Dead grandfather's name that she never met. Well if we are going to play that game then I have a dead grandfather that I never met to name the child after OR OR! There is all of the kids' great grandparents that they will never met that I can use considering I have no grandparents or beyond left and Troys side does... Its always difficult when your in laws are a whole generation behind your family. Sorry a rant of not agreeing with family.
We went swimming yesterday afternoon and let me tell you I was tired and I defiantly can not do laps like that very often but I need to.
I did create a birth pool to see when everyone thinks we are going to have the baby but I wont make it public to FB till after we know the Gender and we find out on the 6th of March. Its gonna be a long wait... Birth Pool link! Go cast your vote!
