Yikes!

So we went to the doc. today for my 28wk appt. All is well until he measures me, i'm measuring at 33wks! So now we go back on monday to have an ultrasound to see how big Carys is. I'm excited to get to see her again, though not thrilled at the thought of having a huge baby! The doc said this baby would be more like my first, Kaitlyn was 8lbs 6oz, Abby was 7lbs 7oz. He also assured me that I would probably tear again....but then said even if she's 9lbs I should still be able to push her out in like 20 mins....gotta love the male docs! A women would know not to talk about pushing out a huge baby that tears you open! Oh well....guess I'll know more in a few days!

Tickers!

Too cute had to share....

girls, girls, girls

So baby #3 is a girl! So i'll still be in my element when this baby comes! I know how to be a momma to girls! So we're thinking Carys for the name, but we'll see if we come up with anything we like better.....

Happy New Year!

2008, the year I become a mother of 3, I can't believe I have so many kids!?!?! The only thing i've ever always wanted to do was be a mom so i'm exicited and thrilled I am, but wow, 3 totally out numbers us! We go Monday for the ultrasound, 3 more days and I know if it's gonna be 3 girls or if Scotts gonna get someone on his side! Everyone predicts a boy, i'm sure it's just because we have 2 girls already, Scott and I don't care either way. I'm kinda thinking boy, but probably just because everyone has been putting the idea in my head. Either way i'm excited to find out! I can't wait to tell the girls one way or the other either, they're gonna be so happy! Speaking of our girls....how cute are they?!?

Motivation

Ok so I actualy read some Dave Ramsey books over a year ago, but now with baby #3 on the way and really wanting a different life style i'm totally ready to jump on board. I've joined on at Daveramsey.com and have been reading the message boards, very motivating. I'd going to try go get the hubby to join me at Financial Pease University, I found a church in our area that is doing the program, it's on Sunday afternoons and they even offer childcare, perfect. I think Scott and I realy need to be on board together, plus we'll need each others support to stay strong and not break down with the "i want it's". I'm feeling really good about making a huge dent in our debt. I'll think i'll maybe be able to lose some of the bitterness from the ex when i'm not still paying for stuff he stuck me with, and that would benefit the girls. I'm really excited about this new chapter in life. I was looking through an old notebook from when I first read DR's book, Total Money Makeover, I wasn't even following it, and I've paid off almost $10,000 in debt since Sept. 2006. We are in a different position then I was then but even with all the changes I think we'll do great....

Sigh....

The holiday rush is over, I feel that same let down I always do after Christmas....not that anything was bad it's just with all the build up it goes so quick. On a positive note I'm still off work and that's a good thing....it'd be better if I never went back but that'll be a while. We're really focusing on making good financial decisions so my being a SAHM can become possible. I have taken over our money because I am much more strict and decisive in that area. We are also following Dave Ramsey's principles, though not to a T yet.
We took the girls to see The Chipmunk Movie this afternoon, too cute. I love to do things with them like that, it's a nice rare treat for all of us.

Popping out!

So this little one is really starting to show...this week my belly has really begun to pop.....well mostly it's just chunk but since i've been wearing maternity clothes (can't fit into much else) you can really tell what it is. Talk about some rude ass people about it too....said out of love of course....uh huh! So one lady at work says how she shoulda saved me some cookies, well another lady pipes up, Steph don't need any cookies, she's getting big enough! I was gonna take her hout right there in the break rooom. Ok so it was funny and I do really like this lady, I know she meant my tummy and being preggo that is supposed to happen, but still. Today I was talking to this guy who didn't know I was pregnant, it came up in conversation and I leaned back in my chair so he could see my tummy ( he made a comment about me always wearing a jacket and being covered) and he was like "damn!" Ahhhh they sure know how to make a girl feel good! That's ok cause my little bean is dancing around in there and I love to feel him/her move! I'll take the belly along with it all.
