Landry's Birth
By the way...the doctor went fine yesterday. I was hooked up to the monitors for nearly 30 min. due to some contractions I have been having. They wanted to check everything and make sure they were just braxton hicks and not signs of pre-labor. Apparently you should call your doctor if you are having more than 4 contractions in an hour...I was having like 8 - 10! Soooo...thats something we are having to watch! It was nice to lay back in a recliner for half an hour though, I almost fell asleep, and listen to her heart beating! Very relaxing! So, October 15 is the day we are scheduling the c-section. I am very excited I have exactly 7 weeks from today! It has special value too. It is the day my grandparents were married and would have been their 56th anniversary.
Busy Busy

Another Day in the life of Crazy!
I can NOT believe how long I worked on this house yesterday only to wake up this morning and think that other than the hurricane that has blown through here, I have SO MUCH more to do! YIKES! I went to Wal-Mart at midnight last night to get boxes...didn't get home until 1:30 and I am eshausted and eat up with mosquitos! Ughh.... I hate them. I am so tired! I seriously dont even know what to do with this house....I have thrown a LOT of stuff away, but there is still stuff everywhere! And now...my house is a mess and I still have a lot to do. As far as moving into the new house....
I am beyond annoyed with these people! First, we find the house...then we have to wait a week because the owner is on a cruise, then she gets back and looks over our paperwork (Monday) WE got our own credit reports, WE got a letter from our landlord and previous rental history, WE got a letter from JR's boss showing the amount of time he has worked at his company as well as his salary and paycheck stubs. After all this they say...okay, but there are no pets allowed....okay so JRs mom says she wants them because she doesn't want us to split them up, so we tell the owner, no problem! Then on Tuesday her realtor tells our realtor that we need to provide them with a criminal history....ummmm....isn't that their job, I mean we have already done everything else for them. So JR calls and every company he calls sayd that they cant give him his own criminal history, that there had to be a third person! Ughhh....so The owner has said that we are unofficially approved pending his criminal report. Ummm...Lady....we have to move THIS weekend, we have to transfer utilities, we have to set up the water which we cant do on a Saturday, so that will have to be done by Friday. I am sooooooo pissed at these people....Anyone who knows me knows that I dont handle stressful situations very well...and yet I have been extremely patient. Yes I have gotten irritated but I have done well not to take it out on JR...until today. I quickly corrected myself, however, and just laid it out for him. I told him he has to be a little more aggressive, and I told him to please explain to these people that the lease needs to be signed this afternoon because we will still have to go up there to pay a water deposit so that the water can be turned on, I have to transfer my electric, tranfer cable and the mail...I mean this stuff isn't done over night and I need to get it taken care of ASAP! Anyway...I am at my end, I feel like one more wrong turn and I am going to explode!
On a better note...I go to the doctor in 4 hours....I will let you know when Miss Landry will be born!

What do you mean its Tuesday?
Holy crap! I feel as though I have been beaten with a bat....I am tired, sore, stressed and appauled by the fact that it is only Tuesday! Geez!
We are hoping to hear back from the realtor by tonight....she said she would have an answer for us by this evening, but I am not holding by breath. I am working on the house today after I get home from the fairgrounds...16 hours left after today! WOOOHOOO! I can NOT believe how much crap we have accumulated in this house...I think I may have more trash sacks full than I have boxes! LOL.... It does feel nice to be getting rid of so much junk though!
I feel like I haven't seen Logan in weeks, and it has only been 2 days....I want him to come back home!
My baby shower is right around the corner! YAY! I have a baby shower to go to this weekend, and then mine is on the 13th! I am excited! WooHOO!

weekend update
Last week was excruciatingly LONG! maybe because I worked three days out of the week, and I am not used to that...maybe because Logan was gone for two days with my sister and I missed him terribly...I dont know, but it was long and now I am beginning what will no doubt be another long week. :(
Friday I got grocery shopping done...but not much else...Boo...But it was nice because we got to go over to our friends Nikki and Travis' house...I got to play with their nearly 2 month old baby Aiden...Dinner was great, as well as the company...Even JR held Aiden which I thought was good...there is so much you forget about. You forget how wobbly they are when they are so new! LOL...Aiden is just a doll...he smelled so good and has these perfect little eyes and nose and tiny little feet and hands...okay, he is basically just perfect all over, but it is so hard to not fall in love with him!
Saturday, I worked until 3, got home, and got right back in the car and went to Houston to watch the Astros....I keep saying that I wont go back, but then I keep going back!!! HA....These games just aren't where pregnant women should be...I was hot and sweaty and SOOOOOO tired! But I knew my sister and JR were having a good time which made me have a good time! Logan....he was good most of the time!!! After the game we went to our friend Brendan's house....we hung out there and played Apples to Apples...which I had never played before and the game is going on my Christmas list!!! It was fun...I was shocked to look up and see that it was already 12:15 AHHHH.....
Sunday, I worked again until 3....my mom came by and picked Logan up on her way out of town at 2. When I got home I saw one of his trucks and started crying....I hate not having him here! I miss him so much and he wont be back until Saturday or Sunday...I dont know what I will do without him!
I will be working today through Thursday....only 32 hours left....I am so stoked! JR and I went to Wal-Mart for some boxes this morning at 5:30...ughhh...I hate waking up early! So I will be working by day and packing by night.
Officially on 60 days until my due date...which means that it is really somewhere around 53! I will know for sure on Wednesday!
Good luck to everyone this week....hope you alll have a good Monday!

Swelling
I am at home with my baby today....yeah! We are going to head to the park in a little while, he doesn't really like anything at the park, he just likes to walk around kicking dirt! Ha! I am so glad to have him home though..I missed him terribly and now I have to come to terms with the fact that he will be gone for an enitre WEEK...I dont know how I will get through it! My friend Delicia is watching him tomorrow while I go get more hours, then I will have him again on Friday, unless I can get a babysitter, which would be AWESOME! Then he is going to stay with my parents for all of next week so that I can finish my hours. I only have 7 work days left. I am so ready to be done with them! I hope that he will be good for my parents, at least he will have his cousin Isaiah to play with while Isabella is at school! I am so glad he and Isaiah are close in age (kind of) Isaiah is 3...he will be 4 in December, and Logan will be 3 in March. Although it is a big gap now, I know that later it will be nice for them to be so close. Poor Landry and Isabella....Izzy will be 7 in Sept. so she is much older and Landry wont even be here until Oct. At least I have several friends that have just recently had babies, so we can do play dates and things like that! It will be good for him to play at his Nanny's house though...plus I can get the house packed up! Grrr...... I should be doing that today, but I dont wanna!
I go to the doctor one week from tomorrow!!!!! I have officially gained 30 pounds (GROSS!) but the end is near and I am very excited to schedule my c-section! The swelling that once went away has now come back. I am still wearing my rings but they are very tight at night and in the morning so I am back to not sleeping with them on, and my ankles are swelling quite a bit....mainly at the end of the day. I have had some VERY uncomfortable braxton hicks contractions that I am not enjoying at all although I will say that the nausea is starting to wear down a little! Thank you! Saltines are saving my esophagus at this point!
I am so ready to move...I cant wait for Sunday to get here...the owner of the house will finally be back from her cruise and we can look forward to an answer! There is so much to do....I have to go get more boxes tonight...yuck! Anyway...I am done rambling! Talk to you guys later!

Logan going up the slide with Lisa
Here are some pictures of Davin's 3rd birthday party...you can see how tall this slide was!! Ahhhh I was so scared!
Only 56 more hours of work to get completed and then I am through with it! YEA! I will be so relieved when I finish all these stupid community service hours!

part 2
So...we spent Saturday morning looking at houses...and luckily we actually found one that we liked so we put our application in right then and there....JR called this afternoon to get an update and GUESS WHAT....the lady who owns the house and has the final say on the application left on a cruise yesterday and wont be home until this coming Sunday, which means that IF we get approved and IF she get back to us by next Monday we only have one week to prepare...which is fine IF we get approved. If we do NOT get approved that means we only have a few days to find a place put in an application and hear back...I am officially over the top stressed. Basically, if we dont get approved, it means that we will most likely end up in an apartment. Ughhhhh! I am so pissed, why in the hell would you leave town at the end of the month when you are trying to rent out your house????
Davin's 3rd bday was fun....there wasn't a lot of mud because they put the water slide in the front yard! I really didn't want Logan to get on it because it was wayyyyy to tall, but JR talked me into it and I finally agreed. He went down, and did NOT like it so he never went back up which was fine with me because I didn't like how much his head got thrown around. It was a good party I guess. I have a pic or two that I will post later but I have to go now!

weekend update part 1
Sorry this is part one because I have to leave soon to go work some community service hours...Grrrr. I have 9 days left (including today!).
I will save the house and birthday party for later (Saturday)---
Sunday I did community service then came home tired as could be and decided that since no matter if we get the house we want or not, this move is coming and it is coming fast and I would really like to be done with all my hours! So I racked my brain thinking of anyone I knew who didn't work or who at least didn't work mon - friday and I cam up with 3 possibilites...Ashley, who just got back from Hawaii, my little sister, who lives in Huntsville, and Dana...who works like crazy but has a day off every once in a while! I called Ashley but they start teacher inservice tomorrow...she is a teacher in clear lake, Dana has a test today but said that she would get back to me after today to see if she can do it at all this week, and Luckily Vanessa starts back to work on Thursday...she works at a daycare/school and she doesn't go back to school until the week after next (I think)...So my wonderful sister offered to watch him until Tuesday evening which means that I get to go get 8 hours today and 8 hours tomorrow! Yea! I have 72 hours left, so after Tuesday I will be down to 56! yipeeeeeeee! Hopefully Dana will be able to keep him a day or two...but I would be so greatful for even one day! I hope it all works out! I am sooooo ready to be done with this crap! Anyway, so I met Vanessa in Spring (north Houston) and dropped my little boy off and I now miss him terribly! I am very ready for tomorrow to get here, JR is going to meet her in the Woodlands after he gets off work and bring my baby home! I cant believe how hard it is to just go two nights without him! Its so weird because in a way you feel happy that you have a babysitter and you can do a little something for yourself but at the same time you miss your baby sooo much! Okay well I gotta run....I will put up part two after I get home!

Addicted...
Okay, so I think I am officially addicted to Farm Town on Facebook...its all I can think about...
My mom and I dont really talk all that much, I mean I call to check in with her and see how everything is going about once a week, but she never calls me, and we dont talk for very long...last night however I started a chat with her on facebook and we talked for about 30 minutes...pretty much about farm town but still I thought it was funny that we were talking! She is way more addicted than I am...she even sets her alarm to go off in the middle of the night if there are crops to be harvested...NOw see, I think thats borderline crazy, but oh well! I told her my sleep was far too valuable! Anyway, I am starting to get the hang of facebook, or at least making a good effort!
I cant remember if I already said this, but we are going to look at houses tomorrow morning (if we hear back from the realtor!!!) Then we are going to our nephew's 3rd birthday party! I am a little concerned because JR told me they are renting a 17 foot water slide...I dont want Logan to miss out on fun, but 17 feet is VERY Tall for such little people...not to mention there is some rope thing on the side that you have to climb to get to the top....I dont know of any 3 year olds that can pull themselves up a rope, but I guess we will see. Also, They dont have any grass in their yard so I am a little worried about the sliding into the mud thing...I think it could definitely be a major accident waiting to happen! However, I am going to give it a good look and watch the other kids before determining that Logan can or cannot go on it...maybe JR was exaggerating or just trying to get me riled up....I just feel kind of bad because I know that Lisa (Davin's mom) already thinks that I am strict. I am really not...I promise, but I have always believed that there is good natured fun and fun that can get someone hurt, and I choose to opt out of fun that someone will get hurt...I guess this is why my sisters always called me the "fun police" growing up...I never wanted to do things where I thought would end in disaster, and now I am doing the same thing with my child. Maybe I should let him....I mean sometimes no one gets hurt, but I just cant get past the idea of allowing my child to do something that I know is potentially dangerous. Plus, I dont want to go to the ER! I think there will be plenty of time for that later...he isn't even 2 1/2 yet!!!
Do you think I am being overprotective????
Okay enough rambling I have to go check my crops!

Exhaustion!

Random
Last night our landlord came by with a realtor, so I spent the day cleaning...yuck! I asked him to bring a copy of out rental history since we need that to include with our application for a new home...not that we have found one yet!
When we brought the dogs in last night JR and I got a big kick out of how big our Dezi Lu is. She has about 3 weeks left until she becomes a mom (give or take a few days)!
Logan was a cuddle bug all day yesterday, he didn't really want to do anything but have me hold him. I got hundreds of kisses and we read several books, but it was very hard to clean with him all over me!!
Today would have been my grandfathers 75th birthday, so it is going to be a difficult day for my grandmother.
2 weeks until my next doctor appointment when we schedule my c-section! I am so excited! 2 weeks from now, I will know the exact date my little baby will be here...barring any complications of course!

Today would have been my grandfathers 75th birthday, so it is going to be a difficult day for my grandmother.
2 weeks until my next doctor appointment when we schedule my c-section! I am so excited! 2 weeks from now, I will know the exact date my little baby will be here...barring any complications of course!

Weekend update!
This weekend was a long one. Didn't do much...I went and worked out at the Galveston County fairgrounds from 8 to 3 both Saturday and Sunday. JR and Logan stayed home and picked up the house for me on Saturday and went grocery shopping on Sunday! How nice! The house hunt is beginning all over again and I am already starting to stress out! Grrrr. I am so sick of my husbands "It will all work out" mentality. I dont want to sit around with my thumb up my ass waiting for things to work out! This has always been a major difference between the two of us, and probably one of the reasons we are together. He has always had someone in his life to get things done for him....in his head he thinks, oh it will all work out, but he doesn't realize that it works out because someone is putting in the effort to MAKE IT WORK! Hahaha. I truly love the man...and because I stress about EVERYTHING (more so when I'm pregnant) I need him on the other side of me to keep me somewhat calm!
Funny story...last night, I was having some Braxton Hicks contractions...sometimes they can be somewhat painful, but these were just on the uncomfortable level....I was watching TV, working on a new blanket, and JR was in the kitchen cooking dinner. I told him I was having the contractions, and I think he has finally gotten used to the idea that these aren't the kind that mean the baby is about to "pop" out of me! All of a sudden I got a major cramp in my foot....it is the first cramp I have had so far. It hit me so hard and so fast and I started crying out "Owwwwwwwww, oh my God....owwwwww" I was trying to get up and trying to stretch out my foot...apparently I was a little louder than I thought because JR cam running into the living room, spatula in hand saying "what is it, are you okay...Sara, what do I do." Although I have tears in my eyes and I am in still in pain, I realize that he thinks that I am going into labor, so I start laughing and tell him that I have a cramp in my foot. The look of relief on his face was absolutely priceless! I love my husband!

10 more weeks
Holy cow! 10 more weeks left (roughly). I will know the exact date of delivery on August 26. I am very sore today, again! Although I didn't do a lot of holding Logan, my body just aches....but I am very glad we did it. Plus, I get two back massages for it! Yay! I was so tired last night, I only got up once at 7:15 this morning to go to the bathroom, and then I went back to sleep until 11:30...thats right, I slept for 12 hours! I feel so good today. I have to go do some grocery shopping though...blah! The House Hunt begins again this weekend! Yuck! I wish it wasn't so darn stressful! Grrrr!
Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!

My day in Houston
Gonna be quick because I am tired and want to go to bed....got up early this morning, went to see my grandmother, ate lunch with her....she isn't doing well. Left her house in Galveston and drove straight to Houston (Reliant Stadium) waited in line from 2:15 to 6:00...It was miserable! JR and I got our wristbands and left, went to Dana's for some A/C, went to dinner, went back to reliant, got in the autograph line....and Finally after 2 1/2 years of trying, we got Logan's Andre Johnson onesie autographed! We also completed the signatures for the 2009 Texans team ball. We left and drove home...It is now 10:30. I am exhausted! See you all later...I will try to elaborate on some of this tomorrow!

More 3rd Trimester woes!
Okay seriously....I am going to try to make this my last complaint - at least for a few days....I, once again got a horrible nights sleep. I am so freaking tired...I was up every two to three hours, which I know that I will be doing once the baby comes, but at least at that point JR and I can take turns. ughhhhhh. The sad part is that it was mainly because of Logan that I was up. He kept waking up and coming and getting in bed or waking me up to let me know he was going back to his bed. Then he got up at 5:30 this morning and woudn't go back to sleep until around 8...I slept from 8 to 10:30, and I kid you not it was the best sleep, but I woke up to my nose being all dried out, a slight stiffness in the neck, and a headache! I am still tired, but oh well, at least I got some sleep! Something crazy happened last night too, during on of the periods of being awake, I took off my rings because my fingers felt like they were balloons that were about to pop...ugh! Very uncomfortable and also I woke up with my chest and neck soaking wet. It wasn't my entire body, but my chest and neck were covered in sweat....very strange!
Tomorrow is going to be a very long day, so hopefully I can get some sleep tonight....I would also like to not throw up today! I'll take what I can get I guess! I would hate to ask for too much!
I haven't even made it through the first week of my third trimester.....PLEASE let it get better!

Welcome Back
Sorry for the double dose of blogs, but just thought I would let everyone relish in the wonderful news....my morning sickness is back! Yay! I have been nauseated for a few days now, but today was the big one....ughhhh I hate vomiting!
What?!? It's only Tuesday?
Maybe I am so off because the extremely long day on Sunday, but that seems like a week ago. For some reason I keep thinking that its Thursday or Friday, or maybe it has something to do with the fact that we are already making weekend plans...I dont know, but I can NOT believe it is only Tuesday! I have done pretty good about staying off the housing websites....staying away from them has been really good for my stress level...I just keep telling myself not to look at them because there isn't anything we can do right now...I am planning to start the looking process again this weekend. Ughhh.... My soreness from Sunday is finally starting to go away, but I honestly haven't had to use this many ice packs and the heating pad so much since high school workouts! Ha!
As far as pregnancy land goes...I am back to being a basket case. My emotions are running wild, and poor JR is being so amazing about them. I had a really hard day yesterday, and woke up today determined not to let anything get me down, and then my grandmother called me. So I spent the next hour crying. She is so sad. I am going to see her on Thursday, but I just wish I could do something for her. I cant take hearing her cry. I also am going back to Texans traing camp on Thursday..so it will be a very long day. I am hoping to get Logan up early, go see my grandmother, and leave her house by 1:00 I need to be in line by 2 which means I will be outside in the heat for 4 or more hours before JR gets there. I think we are dropping Logan off at a daycare center. It should be very interesting! But I figure I definitely owe my husband after the break down I had last night. Anyway, I think I just need some good company which makes going to visist my grandmother a good thing in a way. I might even make a trip to go visit my little sister. I really need some companionship I guess, and as much as I love Logan...I want to have adult conversation! I am sad that my friend Ashley is leaving town tomorrow, and I wont be able to get together with her until she gets back from Hawaii. But I am super excited that her and her husband Scott are going. I am also hoping that I get to go visit my sisters-in-law sometime soon. I miss them a bunch and havent seen them since May....way too long!
Well thats pretty much it, I'm big, hot, and emotional.....WOW! maybe there is a reason no one wants to hang out with me!!!! Hahaha

Test results
Test results came back today....I do not have gestational diabetes, but I am severely anemic....Ughh. I have to take iron supplements 3 times a day! If any of you have ever been in this situation you will know that iron pills (especially this dose) WILL lead to constipation...So I am upping my water intake, and I will have to take some stool softeners..(Sorry for being so blunt!) I am so not excited about this.....I had to do this with Logan as well, and while I tried like hell to take the iron pills 3 times a day like I was told, it only lasted two weeks, then I told my doctor that I could only handle two a day! I have decided that I am only going to take 1 a day for the first 4 days and then move up to two for another 4 to five days and try to go up to 3 a day, but we will see! I am also going to up my green leafy veggies, red meats, and any other food that is rich in iron as well as taking all of this with orange juice for better absorption!!!! If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share them with me....
Weekend with the Lucks!
This weekend.....was very very LONG! Ha! Saturday was pretty much a laundry day. I did a bunch of laundry, worked on the baby blanket, gave both Dexter and Dezi Lu a bath (the dogs), cleaned their kennel, washed the pad that they sleep on (twice!)...Dexter and Dezi both got double doses of being shampooed. Let me just say that they looked so beautiful when they were all done. I had decided to try to let them stay indoors a little more but was quickly reminded as to why we put them out in the first place. On Sunday, we got up very early, drove to Houston and went to the Texans training camp. It wasn't too terribly hot at first, but then the humidity set in and I just felt sticky all over. Logan got 4 cheerleaders to sign an autographed cheerleading team photo, He got a picture with Toro (the bull mascot for the Texans), Then right as he and I got in line to get the football autographed he fell asleep. So there I was 7 months pregnant, holding my 34 pound little boy and a football...after about 45 minutes, a guy in front of me asked if he could hold the ball to help me out....at that point I would have let him hold my baby I was so tired! My legs were shaking, my arms were burning, I was sweating profusely and was desperately trying to figure out how to sit down on the concrete. Finally I tried to wake Logan up and put him down, but he was so sleepy and basically just slithered down to the ground so I had to pick him back up. As more time went on, I started to go past tired to angry! Finally, the players came ut and sat down, and behold!!!! Logan woke up! We walked through the line to get the team ball signed, and all I could think about was getting that last signature, finding JR and going straight to the car...but then...I was stopped by the Houston Chronicle news people, I was interviewed and finally I was free.
Now for those of you wondering...Where was JR and why wasn't he holding Logan??? Well, I asked myself this too many times during the hour and 20 minutes that I spent holding Logan. JR had gone over to another line trying to get some player autographs and while he was over there the people put up baracades....everyone that was on one side of the gate was stuck there until every last player was off the field and on their way to the locker room...So JR and I were on opposite sides and he couldn't get to me. I quickly realized this when I tried to find my way out after being interviewed. Luckily, Logan was awake by that point so I was no longer holding him and it only took about 10 minutes before they opened up the gate and let people cross. JR was waiting for us, so I was glad I didn't have to go all over to search for him.
Because of Sunday....I spent the rest of the day in bed....I had lots of contractions that were far from pleasant and I did a lot of sleeping. I had to use lots of Icy Hot and the heating pad, and as for waking up this morning....I am sore all over, especially my arms and back, and I am very tired. Anyway, although it was a long day, it was actually a good one! We all had a relatively good time. By the way this marks the second year in a row in which I went to training camp and ended up on the internet!
