We are at 37 Weeks...

21 days to go!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it. This journey has just been totally different from with Ty. Of course a major reason being we both are working full time jobs, Phil's not on bed rest and just the added responsibilities. Honestly, all this has just made the time race away.

Now, here we are at 37 weeks and I can't help but look back at where we were and what was happening at this time with Ty. If we looked back, Ty was on his way as with Phil in being in labor and everything was just crazy exciting. Fé's due date is May 3rd, but after Phil's last appointment and finding out that she was 3cm dilated, it's a very strong possibility that Fé could be here before that 40 weeks mark. Now, fyi.com (ha ha ha thanks Kane Show) Phil has said this Thursday, April 14th, she is going to be going into labor. (Nervous laugh) We'll see.

Even better, stay tuned. Also on Thursday, she has an appointment, so we'll keep you posted on that. Oh, we finished the belly case. It's all painted and ready. I'll snap some pics and show everyone. It's pretty cool. Okay, I'm out for now.

We can see that finish line and we are excited. We are all packed, the kids' room is almost there and one day we'll get a van, because, wow, we need it.

Sorry, getting side tracked.

Later.

My Body Week 8

Sorry so late.

I was suppose to send this yesterday but got really distracted. Yesterday we reached week 8 of our pregnancy and still going strong. As always here is a link to what the babycenter.com has to say about our progress week 8.

As for me: I am doing a little better. I haven't vomited again and I am not as nauseous (but it is still there). Still light headed and a woozy. I am starting to feel okay in the mornings and most of the symptoms start coming up in the mid afternoon and worse in the evening. I think as more food gets in my system the more I act up. I had a few puke scares but most of it has subsided quickly. Still praying that everything is going smoothly and that the baby is fine and healthy. Still have miscarriage scares here and there but not as bad as before. Each day that passes is a good day.

I am still so tired and sleepy but I think we are beginning to get a handle on that also. I have started to take walks in the afternoon when I start feeling the sleepy feeling coming along. That usually helps and I get a little boost of energy. Chris comes with me on the walks. Today we all went, Chris, myself, my dad and the puppies.

Oh and the last thing is I am starting to get a little moody here and there. It hasn't been too bad but I can really see how my mood is changing often. I just hope it doesn't effect Chris.

Peace Out

My Body Week 7

Today begins week 7 of my baby journey. I think this is going to be one of the longest jobs of my life and if you ask me right now I don't see myself repeating the process (but this may be a bad time to ask).

According to good ole' babycenter.com here is what is happening with my body this week. My little alien is starting to take on somewhat of a human shape now. Week 7.

What I am really feeling:

Still super tired: I don't take as many afternoon naps any more but I do lay down and watch TV during that time now. I just sleep longer nights. Go to bed around 10pm then wake up around 6:30 and eat a bowl of cereal. Then back to bed by 7:15 and wake up again around 9:30 for another breakfast.

Eating more then usual: After my two breakfasts I usually have a sandwich around 1:30. Then another snack around 4 and dinner sometime between 6:30 and 8:00. Then probably some ice cream and cake around 9:30 before going to bed. That's a lot for me.

All previous symptoms: I am still going through all the nastiness from last week just some not as bad. I haven't vomited again yet ... well just a little sometimes when I get up to fast and burp and ewwww a little something comes out. But no real bending over vomit.

Emotionally: As expected I am a emotion reck. Mood swings like crazy and soo soo sad that we haven't been able to land a job yet. I know God is providing and protecting but one can't help but to be concerned.

Peace Out,

Philippa Channer
