big ole belly!

soo my belly grew!....I'm now 37 weeks and i feel like a balloon! i dont know where this belly came from....I'm hoping it's just Payton gaining wait and not mee being FAT! haha So I went to my 36 week check up(my first internal exam) and everything was great....i was 50%..meaning everything was "medium" i dont really know how to explain it i guess but there was no dilation or anything and my cervix was normal and not thinning out yet or anything.....theeennn we went THursday for the 37 week exam and he said that she was still kind of high although when he went inside he could reaach her head!!! ahhh thats crazyyy and I'm 1 cm dilated only 9 more to go but im still about 50% (100% is what we're trying to get to) and everything is pretty much medium...but im deff excited about being 1 cm even tho thats not much but hey its better then nothing....he also gave me all my records just incase i go into labor one day...I've gained about 21 pounds all together so far and i feel pretty good....i go again Thursday October 1st....OCTOBER!!! isnt that crazy we will already be in October...I'm due to have a baby in October! ughh CRAZY!!! i really am excited tho and i know Jason cant wait!! little Theresa has deff made us more anxious! i get to hear all of Kate's stories about being a new mommy and i cant waiiitt to share mine with her!! it's weird being pregnant without kate :-/ but soooooooooon we will be mommys together :-D

speaking of Theresa..she had her first outting at my work of employment..HOOTERS!! shes soo coool! she even got to meet Jonathan Vilma aannnddd Scott Shanle.....every thursday a Saints player comes to hooters to talk on the radio....the first thursday that she came everyone was kind of confussed because me and Jason were walking around with a newborn baby hahha they almost thought she was mine!! it was funny!

5 weeks left!!

Well I'm offically 35 weeks...which means i only have 5 weeks left...although i could come earlier or later so we'll see...but my first "internal" exam is this coming Thursday...I'm nervous but excited because its always good to know whats going on down there but im a little nervous because well duuhh "internal" exam kinda explains it.....i started getting those Braxton Hicks Contractions which are just small contractions where your belly tightens up for about 30-60 seconds....they dont hurt which is good although its a weird different feeling....soo my uterus is getting ready for the big day!! aahhhh cant wait....

well little miss Theresa was born Tuesday, September 8, 2009.....she was 7 pounds 12 ounces and 20 inches long...shes beautiful!!! i love her soo much!!...If im not feeling well or aggravated i just think of her and she makes me smile!.....i mean she had us waiting at the damn hospital for like 9 hours i think but it was welllllll worth it!!! when i finally saw her i couldnt help it i started cryingg!!! haha its just soo amazing!! i guess because i was there with kate for a lot of things and i guess because im going through it right now that to know that she made it through it and we finally got to see her little face i just got soo emotional!!

this is me and Beckham waiting for Theresa!! he was such a good boy the whole timme!!! my little monkey man!!

Theresa makes Jason and I sooo anxious!! Jason keeps telling me "babe i hope Payton is as beautiful as Theresa"

This picture is right after she came out.....we thought maybe she would have light skin although just the next day she was darker already.....

this is the next day me and Jason stayed there for a few hours visiting....

this was the day Theresa finally came home from the hospital.. me, jason, jack, robin, and kates friend Ashley were waiting around for her.....she had on her pretty little pink dress....shes sooo pretty!!!...see how dark she looks?!?!? and dark hair too....

okayyy soo back to Payton.....her letters finally came in....the colors match really well with everything...we also got the light switch plate cover that matches the letters....and as you also see Jason just HAD to get the huge giraffe.....we named her Eliza...she is Almost as tall as me....we strapped a monkey to her back...thats what those little pink arm things are...Jason swears Payton will love it....the lady at the store said that alllll this kids would try to ride it haha i didnt think it was necessary but now that shes in there i like it...
