You know, I would love to be a blogger, but I still don't have internet at my house. Speaking of house, Jordan and I moved into one! We are out of the apartment/duplex phase of our lives and onto the HOUSE phase! Still in the renting phase for now, but I am totally okay with that. It is a big commitment to buy a house and a big decision. We aren't ready for that yet. Jordan is just starting his firefighting career and we hope that he'll land a bigger town closer to Georgetown within the next 5 years... For now, we are living in a little two bedroom house in downtown Georgetown in the old town district! It's .5 miles from the trail that Katie and I run/walk on with our kiddos and there is a sidewalk from my house to the park! I LOVE it! Old town is seriously ideal. I've been wanting to live there since I was a kid. It's an old 1950's red brick house that has been completely renovated and made to look like new on the inside. Seriously, this house is a huge blessing! It's very affordable and PERFECT size for us. A very big step UP in size from the last 500 sq ft duplex we were in. God knew what we needed and provided it for us. I'll post pictures of it soon, the inside still isn't completely decorated yet. I finally have a nursery though for my little tyke! THAT makes me happy! It came complete with blue walls and everything! :)
Justus is doing great... he is a strong little boy! He's started to try to crawl and he can flip over onto his back from his stomach... usually he'll have his head strait up while he's on his tummy. He's also becoming a great sleeper! Sometimes he sleeps though the night and sometimes he just needs a little extra lovin at night. Mostly he is a happy baby. He'll get fussy before and after eating, but mainly... pretty awesome. He's started cooing and smiling a lot too. Jordan will talk to him and he'll just smile away! He's actually starting to watch cartoons with us too. We will put something on TV and he'll watch it, so we have to be careful what it is. I watched Jurassic Park the other day and I had to turn him to face me so that he wouldn't get scared of the Dinosaurs. I don't know if babies know how to be scared of things they see yet... like, do they know what a scary image is yet? I don't know... seems like they wouldn't know the difference between a monster and a butterfly! He's growing right on target too, he's now about 12 lbs 10 oz 24" long! I took him to his check-up yesterday and the Dr. said everything looked great! I'm such a proud mommy... he sure is growing into one handsome boy! :)

The labor story...
Ok... so it's been a week and a half since my little baby boy was born. 10 days ago, little Justus James was born after a long, exhausting labor that I thought would end in C section. I went in on Monday for my 39 week check-up. My mom came with me because it was going to be my last ultra sound and I wanted her to get to see my little man! I had the ultrasound then went in to see my doctor. The nurse who takes my stats whenever I go took my blood pressure and very casually mentioned that my blood pressure was higher than normal. It is usually the same every time I go in, 117/70. This time it was 136/90. Not typical for me.
Well, my doctor comes in, checks me... informs me that I am still very closed and the only progress was that his head was a little lower. She starts wrapping up the appointment and I mention the high blood pressure thing. She decides to check for herself. "Well, this is where it gets interesting." she said. I was very surprised to be sent to the hospital to get double checked.
They took my blood pressure lying down and sitting up. It started to normalize while I was laying down and as soon as she sat me up, my blood pressure rose again. She said that since it was that high while I was just sitting she didn't want to send me home to walk around where it could rise even higher. She told me I was going to be induced starting that night. I was really nervous and not excited at all. I was excited to have my baby, but I was dreading the induction because most people whose bodies aren't ready have terrible labors and end up having a c-section anyways. I was so scared!
That night they gave me cervadil, which is supposed to help soften the cervix and dilate you.. That was Monday. Well, they thought I would have him by the next night but when they checked me in the morning, I had only dilated 1 cm. I was very disappointed and dreading the pitocin they were going to give me. Pitocin forces your body to have contractions and push the baby down. If your body isn't ready, it's hell. Well, my body wasn't ready. I knew going in that it was going to be a miracle to not have a c section.
Well, the contractions weren't all that bad during the day, I could feel them and could tell I was having them but they weren't super painful... well, they started getting painful... I was having pretty strong contractions for 3 hours.. and around 7 or 8 they checked me and I had dilated one HALF of a cm. I was so upset. I had gone all day with contractions and was hoping for a couple cm at least. They offered to give me an epidural and I was hesitant because I heard that having an epidural can slow down your contractions and make your body kind of come to a halt as far as labor is concerned. I mentioned that to my nurse, and she said that I was in for a long hard labor no matter what and to take the epidural.
Oh, did I mention that they told me I would be having my baby around 7 or 8 Tuesday night? Yeah, that came and went... I hadn't eaten or had anything to drink for 24 hours and was heading into a night of no food or water. The epidural helped a lot... in the middle of the night, I started getting TERRIBLE heartburn... imagine that, heartburn and nothing in my stomach... it was disgusting. Well, I asked for heartburn medicine and the only thing they could offer me was this disgusting drink that tasted like bile and salt... what a thing to put in an empty stomach! Well after a couple hours, I started feeling really nauseous. Started throwing up that disgusting drink and the nothing that was in my stomach.
Well, needless to say, I didn't sleep that night much at all... even with the relaxing epidural... Feeling sick with heartburn and nausea... ya, no sleeping for me. Well, my doctor seemed to think that being on pitocin all night would make me have the baby Wednesday morning... yeah, I hadn't dilated at ALL when they checked me in the morning. Still one and a half cm. I cried. obviously. I talked to Jordan about just opting to have a c section if it was just going to end up that way anyways... It was rough... even with an epidural, i was miserable. I kept getting sick throughout the day. Most horrible experience ever... throwing up nothing and stomach acid. SICK!
They checked me sometime in the afternoon and I was 3cm and 75% effaced! I was making progress! I told Jordan that if I was still making progress, I wouldn't ask for a c section. I went all first trimester without throwing up, what was a few more hours of throwing up... bleh. Well around 3 or 4, don't remember... They checked me again and I was 7 cm and completely effaced. I was so excited! She told me I would probably be pushing around 7! I then just started praying that it would actually happen and that I would deliver naturally!
The nurse came in around 5:30 and told me I was ready to start pushing! I was shocked! and super excited... well I pushed for an hour and a half and my epidural almost completely wore off by the end. It was really rough... those are the contractions I was dreading... But it was all worth it! There was a little scare when he came out though, he had the cord wrapped around his neck and he was all blue and limp. There was a FLOOD of nurses and doctors who came in to make sure he was okay. It didn't take long for him to start breathing and making noise. It was precious!
All the crap and days of not eating were so worth it. Right when he was born, I asked for a huge glass of water... I was dying of thirst! I'm pretty sure I drank 64 ounces in like an hour. Best water I've ever had. 48 to 50 hours without food or water... yikes.
Anyways, thanks for all the prayers! I was so thankful to not have a c section! God really blessed me! :)

My pregnancy so far...
I am now 35 weeks and I feel like I'm going to have the baby tomorrow. I have been having contractions every day that DON'T feel like braxton hicks... I went to the Dr. yesterday and she said that the contractions aren't doing anything yet and are just "practice contractions". That's great and everything, I just wish they didn't hurt so bad! They definitely stop me in my tracks and make me think about different ways I can breathe or sit to be more comfortable. So I have been thinking about my pregnancy and what about it I was expecting and not expecting. It was definitely smooth sailing through my first and second trimester! I could work out, eat what I wanted, sleep comfortably, I wasn't sick at all... I was just spoiled throughout all of that time... THEN the third trimester hit. I felt it immediately. Mostly with the acid reflux and indigestion... But there are a few more things that have started happening recently that I did not expect...
Here is a list of things that I wasn't expecting during pregnancy...
1. painful "practice contractions" that don't do a THING!
2. Terrible acid reflux and indigestion. No dinner after 4 or 5:00
3. hemorrhoids... TMI?? whatever.
4. taking a simple walk feels like I ran a marathon... even getting up from sitting sometimes.
5. getting up 3-6 times a night to go to pee
6. restlessness. I lay in bed for an hour before falling asleep and wake up with the sun... maybe my body is just preparing for when the baby is here.. but it could have just let me enjoy my last couple months of SLEEP!
7. strange dreams
8. The crazy urge to set up and organize baby stuff ALL the time.
9. ligament pain in my stomach... youch!
10. my hip bones actually getting wider
11. Gaining 30 lbs
12. I honestly wasn't expecting to get any stretch marks because they don't run in the family, but Jordan noticed some last night. :(
13. Not being able to settle on a name!
14. HOT FLASHES!!!
15. Bras being sooo uncomfortable because the underwire rests on my now humungous belly (oh, and did I mention the sweat that gathers between my tummy and the ladies? Not pretty..)
16. People are kind of judgy about some of my decisions and very opinionated.
Ok, so pregnancy hasn't been only terrible... I have enjoyed a lot of things about it...
Now the GOOD things I didn't expect:
1. All of the love and support from everyone in my life basically!
2. All of the free stuff I have gotten from people I know... I've pretty much not had to buy anything for my little guy! :)
3. Finding out that i was having a BOY!!!!!
4. Being pregnant the same time as my sister!
5. How strong my hair has gotten... which I know will change once I have the baby.
6. How healthy my nails are (probably from my prenatal vitamin)
7. This summer is extremely mild compared to most Texas summers... Very doable in the state I'm in.
8. How excited I get when I feel the baby move. It really is an amazing thing.
9. Jordan actually gives me back rubs when I ask now! :)
10. I am so not as moody as I thought I was going to be
I'm sure there are more things that are pluses but they're just not coming to mind right now.
So this week started my weekly appointments. I should only have three more until the baby comes... hopefully not more! The appointment went okay, but I was very disappointed to find out that my contractions aren't "REAL". Made me a little upset. I don't want to have him early but I just wanted to know that I wasn't being over dramatic. I have heard that "practice contractions" like the ones I've been experiencing, feel like REAL ones! It worries me that I'm not going to know the difference when it comes to going into labor. Sometimes the water doesn't even break... so... how will I know?? I just get really nervous thinking about the next weeks to come!
Interesting side-note... I could be further along than the Dr. thinks. According to my calculations, my baby should have the due date of August 3... I thought I was pregnant for a whole month before I got the confirmation that I was... I had so many negative pregnancy tests.. and I just KNEW I was pregnant. I got so upset with every test I took. I remember crying to Jordan... not because I really wanted to be pregnant, but because I was mad at the tests for being so wrong. I knew I was pregnant. Then when I went in to the Dr and got my first ultrasound, it told me I was going to have the due date of August 18. So... I could have the baby earlier than I thought! Here's hoping that he's born healthy and with no issues no matter when he's born! (earlier than the 18th I hope!!!)
Pray for the next few weeks and for my contractions to not be so bad please!!! :) Hopefully, the next post I post will have pictures and the final name decision of my new baby BOY!!!!!!

30 weeks
Here is another little pregnancy update. My summer has started and I am trying to soak it all up before the little one arrives. I am excited about him coming but I'm also just trying to take it easy and one day at a time. One thing I do wish is that I could drink as much iced coffee and beer as I want... and wine... and I want to work out. I want to work out HARD! I really miss it. Sometimes i feel like getting up and trying but I know I would hurt myself. I only have 9 weeks left... that's not very long! I need to stop looking forward and start enjoying now. While it lasts. I really am just kind of done being pregnant though. I want to meet my little rascal! :) Ok, now for the little update:
How far along? 30 weeks, 5 days
Total weight gain: the dr. told me I've gained about 17 but my scale at home says 25... hmm...
Maternity clothes? Definitely. Right now I'm wearing yoga pants and workout clothes... pretty much the comfiest thing.
Stretch marks? No! God has blessed me!
Sleep: Yeah, sleep would be nice... jk... I sleep pretty good but get up at least three times to pee and I also wake up every time I turn over because it's so much work.
Best moment this week: Hmm... I dunno, anytime I'm with Jordan is the best moment. I love him.
Miss Anything? I miss beer. Especially right now at the beginning of summer. I want an ice cold beer.
Movement: My goodness, yes. He is a mover and a shaker.
Food cravings: I want sweet things... but is that abnormal?
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not so much.
Gender: Boy. woop WOOOOP!
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms: Ha. where do I begin? Back pain, acid indigestion, hot flashes, emotional, hungry all the time but no room in my smooshed stomach for food...
Belly Button in or out? in still.. it looks like it's smiling.
Wedding rings on or off? on. :)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Seeing Jordan when he gets off of work every day. I am soaking up every moment as just Jordan and I before the baby gets here...

22 week update!
How far along? 22 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain: 12-15 pounds
Maternity clothes? oh yes. I have shoved myself into some of my old jeans and i have to pull a shirt way down so you can't see that my zipper is undone... haha... but yes, lots of skirts and dresses and stretchy leggings!
Stretch marks? No I do not! I really hope I don't get any! I heard steady weight gain and coco butter help.
Sleep: ugh... I want to sleep on my tummy so much... I've been putting a pillow underneath me to prop me up so I can... but I still get up at least once a night to pee. I never sleep all the way through the night... but I better get used to that.
Best moment this week: This week? Seeing Annabelle and Katie again! My baby shower that my wonderful work friends threw me! :)
Miss Anything? I actually really have been missing working out hard. I am noticing my body getting softer, which is fine I guess, but I really do miss it...
Movement: Yes! Last week he was VERY active! Kicking and punching at the same time! This week, he's been a little less active, I think he's in a different position though.
Food cravings:Anything, everything... I'm starving ALL the time. Nothing fills me up. Pregnancy hunger takes a lot of self-control!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Labor Signs: I better not! But no.
Symptoms: Hungry, tired, clingy, emotional. haha
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? On, I think my fingers are actually smaller than they were before. My ring spins around on my finger.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I would say happy, but ask Jordan I guess...
Looking forward to: Jordan getting a job and SUMMER!
Total weight gain: 12-15 pounds

It's a....
BOY!!!!!!! I am SO excited that I found out it's a BOY!!! I am beyond happy. I knew my whole life that I was going to have a boy someday. I have always had a desire to have a boy first and I am being blessed with that coming to a reality! At the ultrasound yesterday, I was laying there on the table... freaking out that they were going to tell me it was a girl and I would have felt very different. I know it would still have been awesome if we were going to have a girl... but when they said it was a boy, I couldn't stop laughing I was so happy. Jordan just looked proud. Like he accomplished a trying task successfully. haha... he was certain it was going to be a girl and I was on my way to thinking that we would have a girl just because we wanted a boy so badly. Now, I am taking any advice that other moms have to give. It just seems more real to me now that I could see the little man in there moving around and feel him kicking. I just want to be the best mom I can be... But while also being the best wife I can be. I don't want to put Jordan and my relationship on the back-burner while all of this excitement is going on. It should still be Jordan first, baby second, everything else next... Well actually more like, God first, Jordan second, baby third, and everything else next. :) I have gotten some great advice from some great people in my life already and am open to more! I would love to hear feedback from other moms about what things they couldn't live without when it comes to raising a baby... and what techniques they find work for bringing up a baby in the training and instruction of the Lord. That's my main goal... I want my kids to know Jesus' love and grasp it. I want them to see Jesus in me and Jordan also. I just pray all day long that my little boy will be healthy, happy, and comforted by the love of Christ through us. That's really all I can hope for.

Movement: hmm.. not sure yet. I have felt a couple little flutters here and there. Could be the baby!
Food cravings: Not really... Just anything, everything... salty foods. not so much sweets.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, haven't been sick once! Praise God!
Gender: I find out on TUESDAY!!!!!
Labor Signs: NO!
Symptoms: Very sore back, sore tummy ( I can feel it stretching), and I cry about EVERYTHING!
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on... I don't get this question though.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'd say happy... then I'll get sentimental and cry. not really crabby.
Looking forward to:TUESDAY when I find out if it's a little girl or a little BOY!!!! :)
