Doctor update

I passed an EKG I took yesterday.  Nothing abnormal with the heart.  They did order some blood work. If things look "off" then they're going to order a manual EKG.  Doc says being prego wacks your entire system up!  Wow, who knew:)  Anyway, I also passed my Glucose test.  Prego Doc was amazed how it shot up the first hour as high as it did and then went to complete normal.  He's says I'm normal, if that's really possible.  I love him....he put the baby heart thing on yesterday to hear the heart beat and get the rate.  It was 140 at first, then he poked the belly and we watched the heart rate go up and up!  152, 157 ....... He said that's what happens when you scare the poor baby.  They live in a dark bubble and have no idea what's poking them.  I laughed because I do the same at home and Straty scolds me.  So, all is good.  Baby is great, I'm as good as it gets and now the countdown continues.  11 weeks!!!!!!  I have till end of September to go anywhere.  6 weeks prior to due date, 11/4, I have to stay within one hour of home.  We're trying to plan a short Babymoon, before Baby Hadj II arrives.  I'm really shooting for Napa or something of the sort, where as Straty is looking at Colorado.  Colorado of course is amazing, but doc says I could be sleepy the entire time, due to altitude.  Wait and see where we'll be in September!  xoxox

Sunday........what another great day!

Sunday, man oh man, what a weekend!  To top it off, we ended our weekend with some oh so yummy food: Grilled chicken stuffed with homemade pesto (basil from the garden), sun dried tomato and mozzarella cheese!  Tossed Angel hair with olive oil and herbs!  After that we walked over to the park to enjoy a New Orleans style band playing in the park.  We brought along a berry mix, biscuits and whipped cream for desert.  Amelia loved the music.  She was clapp'n and snapp'n her fingers.  We love where we live! 

Saturday YEEHAWWWWWWW

Saturday we chilled at home.  We walked to the park, picked up some Pumpkin Bread muffins!!!  Fed the ducks and came home and relaxed.  Straty made an incredible dinner!!!!  That night Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch Ame as mommy and daddy went to see Trace Adkins and Tobby Keith.  I LOVE Trace!!!!!!  He's a pretty sexy dancer:)  I love how my husband takes me to see my men, knowing he's the one I come home to at night!  xoxox  Mike Ness and now Trace.  Thanks Babe, even the the traffic sucked the evening was wonderful!  Love you.  Speaking of LOVE, the look on my husbands face is a man who truly loves his girl.  I've seen that look at time or two:) xoxoxox

Friday at BabeTown

Friday night we made our way to BabeTown for a fabulous BBQ from Mr. R and yummy homemade fries by the Mrs. R.  It was cool to sit in the living room, eating dinner and looking around realizing our family was complete.  Meaning, the girls were all married.  Not complete by chitlins!  Ame needs cousins:)  No rush though!!!!!!  That night we also placed our bets on Baby Hadj II.  Hands down Boy, except for myself and Auntie Krista!  We have to keep the faith:)  We have to find a girl name too:)  I know I've already lost!  Dr. told me yesterday that I could induce day of due date if I wanted to, this being my second baby, the rules change.  He's the one that told me I'd most likely be late and bet November 8th.  He can't seem to make up his mind.  He also informed me Baby Hadj II is weighing about 3.5 pounds and will start to increase .5 plus per week.  WHAT!!!  I'm 75% done, 29 weeks into prego and 11 more to go...WHAT!!!!  Oh dear, it freaks me out when it's on paper!  Babe, we need to get organized.  Oh Amelia picked girl too!!!!

What a busy weekend! It all started THURSDAY....

Straty found out that Panda Kung Fu movie was playing downtown Main Street.  We packed up the SAAB, stopped by KFC, picked up Grandma and headed to the beach.  Grandpa was there and later Auntie Sarah and Uncle Dean joined us.  They even had a band playing music beforehand.  Ame was all over that!  How amazing it was to watch a movie at the beach!  Amelia brought her Panda and had fun cuddling up with him during the movie.....

Shuuuzzzzzzzzzz Lot's and lot's of shuuuuuzzzzzz

and then some! Thanks Grandma!!!!!  

Amelia told Grandma she couldn't live without the Gynormeous panda bear!  So while I was looking at clothes next door, Amelia got a bear and came walking into the store with it!  Those two, you can't trust them alone.  I have a shopping buddy like that....Garth!  We are forbidden to shop together:)

Oh and when we got home, lit'l miss opened each box of shoes as if it was a gift!  Ooooo'n and ah'n.  As if she'd never seen them before, as if they'd never been slipped onto her feet...ok Cinderella.  Such the drama princess.  Oh and bear had to be there with her.  I wish I had taken a photo of her sitting in his lap, his arms draped over her shoulders, swaying back and forth as Daddy walked into the house.  "Look at my new buddy daddy.  We're best of friends."  I do love how she tends to Miss Bunny.  Offering her binkie, sippy cup or the best...lov'nz.  She's going to be a great big sister.  Tonight at dinner as we celebrated Auntie Sarah's job, Amelia showed off her big ole belly and then lifted up everybody else's shirts to see their belly's.  Indecent exposure party of 6!  Food was yummy!  If you're a local HB, you gotta go to Flight on Beach and Adams.  Half off menu items till 7pm.  Today was another great day!  Tomorrow, not so much.  I'm taking my 3 hour glucose test!!!!  Great, what can I do for 3 hours in a stink'n Quest bldg??  I'm going to plan the new decor for Ame's room, then they layout of the Master bedroom, then hit the guest room.  Doc said to relax and keep my feet up, but never said anything about my brain:) Babe, get ready to flex those muscles.  Monday I get to see another doctor about the good ole heart.  I had another odd feeling tonight.  As if it was clogged for a second then painfully shot something through something, leaving my heart pounding extra hard.  I also get to see my baby doc on Monday.  It's shot time!!!  Why'd I get funky blood?  Gee, getting poked and probed will be so exciting!  It's worth it though.  Gotta make sure this little one is growing safely in d'belly.  Better hit the hay!  xoxoxo

What a day we had!

We started off with a lovely walk in the park.  We met a lovely lady from France.  After a nap and lunch we headed to Fashion Island for some fun.  Daddy met us there!

Amelia couldn't get enough of water today.  She came home and needed to water her garden.  For some reason she put the hose to her ear.  Daddy made amazing burgers and zucunni.  Amelia ate it up!  We ended such a wonderful day with another walk in the park.  We are so blessed.

Miller was exhausted:)

Girls Weekend

Daddy was at Vinnie's Bachelor Party this weekend, so the girls had some play time to themselves.  Jewels and Bubbley.  No, not shopping and drinking champagne:)  Amelia enjoys playing dress up with jewelry.  I think I've said it before, but she loves jewelry.  Another thing she got from her Great Grandma Inez.  Of course mommy refused to fold laundry:)  Grandma stayed both nights with us.  We woke up this morning and headed to Alice's for a fabulous breakfast.  Then we walked the park and found a blue balloon for Amelia to play with.  Amelia was avoiding her nap, so she had Grandma blowing bubbles until she was feeling a little wompy in the head.    Amelia came home from dinner with the Grandparents with Minnie Mouse balloon!!!!!!  Mickey Mouse balloon from Grandpa's b-day just deflate!  I thought I'd be free from feeling like someone was starring at me or seeing it's shadow in the corner of my eye.  Thanks Grandpa!!!!  Great weekend!  We missed Daddy and we're glad he's home safe!  As for Baby Hadj II, we are in week 28 and things are good.  There's a lot of activity in d'belly.  Sadly, I failed part of my tests last week, the glucose test.  It wasn't a huge fail, but they are cautioning on the safe side and wanting me to take the 3 hour test.  GREAT!!!!!  I have to do it before I get my Rogram (sp) shot next week!  Everything else passed with no problems.  I didn't realize you were suppose to fast before taking the test.  It only said not to eat/drink 2 hours before test.  I'm talking to Doc tomorrow.  My heart hasn't been feeling to swell the past few weeks, and my legs and feet get restless and tingle.  I was told to take it easy this weekend.  Drinking lots of water, Tylenol and feet up.  I did as much as I could, although while sitting on the couch while Amelia slept, I'd sit there re-arranging the dining room and master bedroom, as well as painting them in my head:) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the mess I'm dealing with about our bathroom.  They installed the shower glass walls on Monday and during the final tightening, one wall blew up!  Seriously, it was pretty loud.  I ran in there and the guys were in shock and covered in glass.  It chipped the shower and new flooring, as well as the vanities and new drywall!!!!! I was so looking forward to showering with a shaving shelf!!!!!  The belly is kinda in the way:)  I also started the first leg of FALL!!!!!!  August has always been grapes and sunflowers for me.  Sadly I didn't get any Muled Wine scent from Illuminations before it closed down.  I have one left.
