Excuse me can you repeat that!.....

Unfortunately I am still dealing with my computer crisis, I wish there was a way that I could motivate William a little more to fix the issue. But I am trying to be patient both with the tech issue and my sweet sweet hubby.

But anyway, I wasn't able to blog last week because I was at my family's river house all week, and despite how much fun it is there is no Internet so I was unable to update you guys on what happened the Friday before last at the Dr.'s office.

The appointment started as usual i.e weigh in, blood pressure, questions, concerns, etc. Then my Dr. pulled out the magic measuring tape again. She measured me for the first time two weeks prior, she really didn't say much about nor explain what it did, and I really didn't ask. This time she measured and said "35 inches" so then I proceeded to ask well what does that mean? That is when she dropped the bomb she said that I was measuring 35 weeks (note that at the time I was only 31 weeks) I then asked her well what does that mean. And she replied, "That he is a really BIG BABY" she proceeded to tell me that since last appointment that she has been thinking about INDUCTION (insert the music of dun dun dun). And I said ok well when would you be inducing me, or rather how early would you be inducing me. I was concerned that they would take him too early. She said no no, we don't induce earlier than 39 weeks. So that made me feel a little better. But knowing that I am such a tiny person and he is such a big baby I asked what were the chances of having a c-section, she said it all depended on how things went during my delivery, I would just have to wait and see how I was progressing, she said that she would not let me labor for too long with out progressing. Which was terrifying and reassuring at the same time. I left the Dr.'s office over flowing with so many different emotions. I was so excited that he was doing well and that he would be here soon, but at the same time I was nervous about the unknown.

My Dr. did say that she would be doing one additional ultrasound to get a better idea of how big he really is, but that wouldn't happen until we got closer. So I am excited that I will get to see him one more time before I see him in person. I guess the only other thing that has been eating me up is that I really don't want to pick his birthday, I want him to come when he wants to come. You see I take birthday's really seriously, I think they are so special so I want his special day to come when God wants it to come, but at the same time I want things to go well. So I guess I really don't know anything other than the fact that I need to let things go and put it all in God's hands. Well to sum up this picture less blog post I will say that there will be more updates to come this Friday when I go back in to see the Dr. so I am sure there will be LOTS to share about our growing boy!

Computer Crisis!!! GRRRR

Well as you can see I have fallen off the blog bandwagon AGAIN!!! Except this time it is not my fault you see when we got back from our fabulous vacation to the beach with our best buddies Grace, Matt, & Michael; William and I came to realize there was something wrong with our computer. Well to be honest it was me who noticed, once we got all settled back home I headed to the office to upload all my pics from the vacation, unfortunately it was giving me trouble and the next step for me in the troubleshooting checklist is to call out for William. Well after some inspection he came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with our monitor. So to make a long story short I can't upload my pictures so as a result I can't blog, which is super depressing! So I am trying to wait patiently to see what happens and what our solution to the tech issue will be.



Just to catch you up (Without pictures!!!) on what has been going on... Well I am trying to juggle moving my classroom and organizing and setting up the new one before school starts AS WELL as get Willie's room ready. I have made head way in both places. My classroom is about 98% moved thanks to Annie & Danielle & of course William, without them I probably would still be walking in overwhelmed not knowing where to start.



I am starting to get really nervous/excited about his arrival! With me being 31 weeks tomorrow I am starting to feel like it is crunch time! There are so many first occurring. I started going to the Dr.'s every two weeks. About two weeks ago the Dr. measured me with the nifty tape thing and said he is measuring BIG, like I did not know that (insert picture of me looking like I swallowed a watermelon seed =) ) I failed to ask her how many weeks my belly is measuring but I will be sure to ask her this Friday during my appointment. Another 1st was at the last appointment I had my glucose test, which I had heard was AWFUL, to my surprise it wasn't so bad I just inhaled the whole thing through a straw. It reminded me of a flat orange soda. This Friday another new thing is about to happen, William & I are meeting with a pediatrition, yes I know your probably thinking yeah no big deal, well I just think this is surreal, I mean meeting with a pediatrition is something parents do, & yes holy mackrel WE are about to be parents, that just jumps me every once in a while.The last new thing that has happened was this new trick that Willie has learned, ha ha, he will be rolling around practicing his trapeze act while I am walking none the less, when I will feel this insane sharp pain which makes me think I am going into labor. Even though it happens frequently, after talking with my more experienced mom friends I was told that is just part of the pain of pregnancy, "JOY!", note the sarcasm.

A Sneek Peek of What He Will Look Like When He Gets Here!

This past Saturday William & I got to go see what our sweet baby boy looked like. We had a 4-D done! It was absolutely amazing!!!!! I was so excited and over joyed when I saw him for the first time! I of course think he is perfect in every way including that he is adorable. I am sure that you really could care less about me going on and on about how cute he is and would rather see the pics of him. So below are some of the pictures.

When we were looking at his face I asked the ultrasound lady if we would be able to see if he had a chin clef like William and while we were looking at it we saw the picture below. And if you can’t see it the answer to my question was yes! I just can’t believe how much he looks like his daddy. And I am sure I don’t have to tell you how very proud his daddy is that his little man looks like him.

I haven’t been able to post a lot because we are at camp meeting this week and there is little to no internet here, but I will be sure to post pictures from this week soon. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

OH AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHOUT OUT A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LAUREN WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS TOMMORROW JUNE 18, 2009!!!!!

Swept Away....

Hello everyone out there in the blog world! I know I have AGAIN fallen off the blog planet! Things were just so crazy with the end of school. But now that school is over I will be posting WAY more. To start with after this post I will post a few posts later this week about things that have happened since my last post, but for now I want to fill you in on what has happened this past weekend.

Well to give you some background information I have been REALLY stressed these last few weeks of school. I just felt like my days never ended school would just follow me home and I had no time to rest. And to top things off I had trainings for school this week and next week so I needed my classroom all cleaned up by this past Friday, because oh yeah I have to move classrooms. Like I don't have enough to prepare and do over the summer, you know with the upcoming arrival of our sweet little man.

So Friday I was hitting the ground running finishing my end of the year checklist and then working on cleaning up my classroom when William called and wanted to know what time I would be done. You see we had arranged for a dinner and movie date that night to celebrate the end of school and stress. I knew it was raining and kindly asked him if he finished up work early I would greatly appreciate his help. And him being the sweet husband he is around 1:30 he called and said that he was on his way to come and help. I was so happy to hear that because I was sure that I would NEVER finish it alone. So he and I worked and finished at about 3:45. I will be sure to post a picture of the final result of my classroom as soon as possible, because it is funny how many things you can stack on top of each other.

So with my classroom clean I turned in my key and we headed home. A few minutes after we walked in the door William was giving me a hug and asked me if I was relieved. I responded yes and I could not wait to rest. Well he responded with you can't rest yet you need to pack a bag because I am taking you away for the weekend. I asked where we were going and of course it was a surprise, and I LOVE SURPRISES! So I packed and we were off.

I soon found out that we were going to St. Augustine, to hang out at the beach, spend some time in old town, go to the IMAX to see Night at the Museum 2, and do some outlet store shopping. I was so excited!

When we got to the hotel we checked in and headed out to dinner at Barnacle Bills, to eat some yummy fried shrimp "mmmmmmmm". We finished Friday night with a romantic walk down the beach under the moonlight, it was great! Saturday the weather was kind of yucky so we headed to old town instead of to the beach we spent the day wandering through shops. After a while we headed back to the hotel for a much needed nap (I love naps!). That night we went to the IMAX to see Night at the Museum 2. We finished that night with dinner at this awesome restaurant that is on the water. Sunday we got up early went to the beach for a little while then cleaned up checked out and headed to the outlet mall. I found some great tops and dresses at the Gap. We finally headed home and just rested.

I had an AMAZING weekend! I was completely rested up for this week. I love how romantic William is! He is truly a wonderful hubby, I could not ask for a better partner in life. And if you read this William, thank you for a great weekend! I Love You SO Much!

I figured I would post some pics from this weekend below...

The welcome sign to our hotel which may I say was very cozy and private.

Of course we can't go on a trip without bringing Willie a Souvenir! Isn't this the cutest turtle you have ever seen!

The beach, it was kind of hard to walk on because it was covered in shells, but it was still so pretty.

My big strong man!

Us at dinner. The waitor took this picture. We were surprised it turned out becasue at first he had the camera upside down and facing him. It would have been hilarious if he would have taken a picture of himself.

WARNING!!!!!!

Below is a picture of a VERY pale pregnant woman!

(I can't belive I am posting this picture on the internet)

I am trying to embrace my body hence the 2 piece.

A Wonderful 1st Mother's Day followed by a VERY EMBARASSING MONDAY!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday, either being celebrated or celebrating a special mother. I love this holiday because yes it is important to celebrate your mother year round, but who loves a special holiday to celebrate someone special in your life. I love the top 3 hallmark holidays, i.e. Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, & Father's Day. I showered my mother and grandmother with cards and special gifts and most importantly TIME! William and I had breakfast with my mom & dad and then finished the day with a yummy dinner prepared by my dad. All in all the routines of the day were quite traditional, but unlike every other year I was celebrated as well. It was really weird when I woke up Sunday morning to William saying, "Happy Mother's Day!" I guess both he and I were still getting used to the idea of me being a mother. William then stepped out for a moment and brought me a gift from him. He bought me a new razor.


I kind of thought it was somewhat odd but very sweet. Then he walked out again and came back in with Izzy walking in on her 2 back legs holding a box. I wish I would have had a camera because it was adorable. =) The gift came with a card from Izzy and Willie. And the gift was a pregnant Willow Tree woman. The card said so that when I looked at it I would remember the special 9 months I shared with him. Isn't it sweet! I am truly married to the most amazing husband he is so sweet and he is going to be the most amazing father. So all in all I had a wonderful Mother's Day! And I look forward to next year when I will have my sweet baby boy to share Mother's Day with.

Of course as you can tell from the title of this post you know that there is still MUCH more to tell, so I will start from the beginning. I decided last night that I was going to exercise on my elliptical at about 5:30 AM so I would have time to still get ready for work. So that is what I did. I woke up and headed straight to my machine and watched last night's Desperate Housewives. I finished up and proceed to shower and get ready. I decided to get to work early and get stuff together because I had hall duty (watch the students in the hall while they wait to be let into their classroom. So at 7:40 I headed to the hallway and got to my post and sat and watched suddenly I felt very hot and then over the next 10 minutes I became nauseated. Then it progressively got worse my mentor teacher suggested that I go and retrieve a trash can just in case I did get sick. So I did. As I sat there all of the sudden I got really dizzy and my vision got blurry and I started seeing black dots and then all of sudden I projectile threw up on the floor and the trash can as well as on my clothes. Be sure to note that ALL my students were still in the hall way as well as parents bringing students to their classroom. I was mortified. As I sat there sick to my stomach I waited for the school nurse to come and get me, she took me to the clinic and checked my blood pressure and temperature. All normal. So I went home changed and came back to work and went through the day somewhat nauseous. Now I am fine, but I still don't know why I got sick. Because I have not been sick this pregnancy thus far. If you guys have any idea please fill me in. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. =)

Updates on our Little GUY!

I am not sure if I told you in my last big post, but due to the fact that our sweet little boy was being difficult the ultrasound nurse was unable to check off on his left heart valve. And apparently they can't say he is 100% until they have checked off their list of things to look for. So she scheduled us another ultrasound to check him out again hoping that he would behave a little better. The nurse reassured us that he was fine, that she just couldn't check it off with out seeing it.

So this past Monday was that appointment. We were very excited to see him again. Apparently our little boy can be quite active when you are trying to look at him because the moment she started the ultrasound he wiggled and swished around the whole time and then when he was sitting still he was curled up in the "fetal" position. He is such a STINKER!!! I just love him so much already. Every time I think I couldn't love him more, I find myself opening my heart even more. I guess that is why they said you love your children more than you can ever imagine! I just can't wait for him to be here!!

Anyway back on track. I was hoping to get some better pictures of Will, because our last ultrasound we didn't get the best pictures. Not only did we get MORE ADORABLE pictures of him but we double & tripled confirmed that he is DEFINATELY a B-O-Y! Below are some new pics of our William Michael Whitehurst Jr. Oh and by the way the latest wight stats on our little guy are as of April 27th he is 12oz!!!

OOOPS I forgot to tell you something!

I completely forgot to tell you guys that my due date has been moved to September 9, 2009. Yes that is right 9/9/09. William is hoping we have the baby at 9:09 A.M. or P.M. so that we can make Inside Edition or at least the local station TV 20. Like we have any control of when the baby comes.

You see my Dr. wanted to use my appointment to see how far along I really am. So I am 19 weeks today. Nothing like speeding this process up just a little.

Also our sweet baby is 10oz almost 1 lb. !

So I think that is all that I forgot to tell you. I will be posting soon! =)
