Day 361

Ok so the last few posts will come later today I hope, Liam is in his swing crying and I don't know why he just ate so he should be ok but he isn't I think he needs changed.

Day 360

Tuesday July 26- Rough day, I cried a LOT! I asked for help and my mother-in-law came over to keep me company. When she left Ethan started to act up again I honestly cant wait until we get back to normal. I cant handle stressful days like today. Again tons of photos to pick from. Ethan helped me give Liam a bath so some pictures will be from that.

First time in his crib

daddy dressed him and put it on wrong.

He didn't like it lol.

Ethan washing Liam's leg.

Day 359

Monday July 25- Today was a good day I was not down but I think that was because I knew I had help coming over before the boys got up from their nap. We had a great day! I have several photos to pick from so I will use one of them, Liam is ready to eat I have to go.

Day 358

Sunday July 24- Well today I got to go home, I missed Ethan so I went to the lake to be with him. I am going through baby blues so I stayed with my family so I could have help. I am going to use the picture of Liam I took right before bed. His first night out of the hospital.

Going home

Day 357

Saturday July 23- My posts are behind but I have a great reason for that lol. Well today was a hard day! I slept great heck they came in drew blood and I didn’t even wake up but at 8:00 they started getting me ready for my surgery. I went and got Liam at 8:30 to feed him real fast before I went in because I knew he was due to eat and I was going to be gone for at least 2 hours. So as soon as I got done with him they took me down and did my surgery. I was worried not about the surgery itself but the pain after. Well after the surgery I was in some pain but not to bad. I was so tired form the stuff they gave me to relax but I fought that off the best I could. A few hours after the surgery I was up walking not as good as yesterday. I honestly felt 100% better yesterday than today. I am busy with the boys so my blog is going to be short. My photo is of me before surgery and one after.

Day 356

Friday July 22- Well today was a GREAT day! I was sound asleep and at 2:50 a.m I woke up in a puddle of water. I was unsure if it was pee or if my water broke. Well Keith was just getting home so I went in to talk to him and told him I didn’t know what was going on. I was not in pain so I didn’t think much of it. Well then all of a sudden I was in so much pain it wasn’t funny. I called Shawnda and she came over to sit with Ethan Keith took me to the hospital I knew this time I was in labor. I got rushed to a delivery room and they checked me I was at 9 cm, 40 minutes later Liam was here. He was born at 4:23 a.m I didn’t have time for any type of drugs so I went all natural. The nurse asked me what my pain level was when he was born and I said 0 she thought I was crazy or misunderstanding her she was like 0 is no pain do you mean a 10 I was like no I am in NO pain at all. All day I have only had 4 pain pills! I was up walking around by noon. Liam timed this all so perfect. His daddy was home, My aunt who was keeping Ethan was off and Keith did not have to work today. He is 7 pounds 15.3 oz 19 inches long. I have several pictures I am going to use today!

My two favorite boys!

Just hours after he was born.

Liam with Daddy

We needed a nap.



He pooped all over himself so they took him for a bath.




Bath time







Liam James Beamish he is blue because of brusing he came so fast so it caused him to bruse.

Day 355

Thursday July 21- Well today was a good day. Ethan and I had fun playing in the cold tub of water. This heat is killing me I wish I would just have this baby and be done with it. I have had 2 cold showers so far and thinking of getting the third. I wish this heat wave would pass I am so tired of being hot. My photo is going to be of Ethan in the tub. and of him talking to "Liam" on the phone he told him to hurry up and come. 5 Days until my due date! 6 Days until I get induced and no more than 7 days until Liam is here!

Day 354

Wednesday July 20- Well last night was a sleepless night I was up every 20 minutes going to the bathroom and the contractions were pretty strong. Then around 3:00 am Ethan came into my room and wanted to cuddle but he did more playing then anything. If I got up he would come with me and I could not leave his side. So around 4:00 I started to get him ready to go back to his bed and a half hour later he finally stayed in his bed and went to sleep. Then he got up at 8:30. I am tired and in a ton of pain I wish I would just go into labor and get it over with. It is 11:00 now and Keith just got up so I am going to go lay down for a little while. I will add more to this blog as the day goes on. I tried to nap but that did not go so well. I spent the rest of the day very uncomfortable. I ended up going to the hospital for a false alarm and I told everyone I will not go back until I am in labor I want to know for sure even if that means waiting until his head is coming out lol.
My photo is of Ethan sleeping on the couch.

6 Days until my due date! 7 Days until I get induced and no more than 8 days until Liam is here!

Day 353

Tuesday July 19- Well today is the day of my doctors appointment! I cannot wait to go see if there is any change. Ethan still says his belly is ouchy. We played for a little while then I went in got a bath and tried to relax for a little bit but couldn’t. After I got up I put Ethan in for his nap and waited for my Grandma to get here to sit with Ethan. Shortly after she got here I got ready ran over to the doctor. He said I could go any time now and it felt like I was going to go soon. But he set up for me to be induced on the 27th in case I don’t have him on my own by then. After my appointment I ran by work to get my check then came home and got ready to finish dinner. Tuesday is the day Kim comes over but I did not hear anything from her, I am glad I didn’t because I wasn’t going to answer her any how, But when I knew it was to late for her to come over I sent her a text asking for my stuff that she has and still haven’t heard back from her. I am getting a little pissed because I asked her a week ago to drop it off so I can get it ready for Liam. I have not heard from her in a week, I could care less if she doesn’t want to come over or if she doesn’t want to text me because I honestly don’t feel like dealing with her brats. But it would be nice if she would give me my stuff! At around 8:00 I started having strong contractions but they were not close together. So I got Ethan ready and in bed then I got a cold shower and laid down. I did not sleep because of the pain.

My photo is of Ethan doing what he was told he is not aloud to do. He was sitting in the baby’s bouncer seat.

1 Week 0 Days (7 days) until my due date! 8 Days until I get induced and no more than 9 days until Liam is here!

Day 352

I am playing the catch up game right now I had all my blogs done until July 21. My wireless isn't working so I have not been on my laptop much. So here are the rest of my blogs.
Monday July 18- I still don’t feel to great, Still in a lot of pain I am so ready to have this baby and be done. Because of the pain I didn’t do much of anything today, I didn’t even feel like cooking dinner so I ordered some pasta from Pizza Hut. Ethan and I don’t feel to great so we didn’t eat much he just kept saying his belly was ouchy. He laid around and watched Cars most of the day. My photo is going to be of him laying on the floor with his new blanket.

1 Week 1 Day (8 days) until my due date!

Day 351

Sunday July 17- Well I got up got my shower and got ready for church. I went to church then on my way to the lake my mother-in-law asked if we were going to make it to the family reunion and I forgot all about it so I told her Ethan and I would stop over for a little while but because I was half way there I was not going to go back for Keith plus he didn’t want to go. So we went and hung out with my mother-in-law. After the reunion Ethan and I went to the lake got changed and went swimming. After we got done swimming we played back at the camper for a little bit until everyone else came back from swimming then the boys all rode bikes and I relaxed. Then we ate dinner and Ethan laid down for a little bit and Shawnda and I went for a walk. After our walk I got my stuff ready and came home. I put Ethan to bed then I went to bed. My photo is of the stroller.
1 Week 2 Days (9 days) until my due date!

Day 350

Saturday July 16- When I got up I did not feel to bad but as the day went on I started to get cramps like crazy. I ran down and got my sister and her boys so I could call the doctor and if he wanted me to go to the hospital I had someone here with Ethan, If he didn’t want me to go to the hospital we were going to go for a nice long walk. Well after I got a hold of the doctor he told me to go get checked and make sure I wasn’t in labor. So I went over and of coarse when I get there my contractions stop and I have ONE the whole time. The nurse checked me and I am 1 cm 50% thinned, Tuesday I wasn’t even close to that so it makes me feel better that the contractions are at least doing something not much but 1 cm and 50% is better then nothing. After I got home from the hospital we got something to eat then got ready and went for a long walk. When we got back I took Shawnda and the boys home then came home got ready and went to bed. My photo is of Ethan playing outside by the tree, I think it is a few days old but it works.

1 Week 3 Days (10 days) until my due date!

Day 349

Friday July 15- Well I woke up this morning having pretty strong painful contractions, They were not close enough together to do anything about them so I tried as much as I could to ignore them but that was hard. I went with my dad to help his fix his truck. Well I went to drive the other truck home after he got the tire fixed on the dump truck, I stopped by Wal-Mart to get a few things then came home. We had to run my dads truck back to his house I picked up some baby stuff we had there that I need to wash for Liam. Then when we got home Ethan Keith and I played outside for a little bit then we put him in for his nap. When it cooled off we went on a long walk, By time we got home it was past Ethan’s bed time so we put him right to bed then I went in to relax. My photo is of the stuff I got from my dads.

1 Week 4 Days (11 days) until my due date!

Day 348

Thursday July 14- Well I didn’t do to much today. I sat at home and waited for Kim to drop my stuff off to me but she never came. I took Ethan outside and let him play for a few hours my Aunt stopped over to drop off a gift for Liam and we sat and talked for a little bit then she left and I put Ethan in for his nap. Other than that my day was slow and we didn’t do much of anything. My photo for today is of the stuff my Aunt dropped off.

1 Week 5 Days (12 days) until my due date!

Day 347

Wednesday July 13- Well I got to sleep last night even with the itching hands and feet. I had two alarms set one for 9:00 in case Ethan wasn’t up by then that way Keith could wake him up get him fed and ready to go to the dentist then one for 9:30 for me to get up and get ready because I only take 10 minutes to get ready. We got down to his appointment sat and talked to my Aunt and Grandma (my Aunt works there making dentures) then when it was time took Ethan back to get his teeth looked at mostly and we were going to try to get them cleaned. Well he was scared and wouldn’t really let Lorna look in his mouth but after a I sat in the chair with him and she looked at puppy like he had teeth and showed him what she was going to do he let her at lest look at his teeth, then she got the tooth brush out and showed him on his finger it didn’t hurt and that just made him want to brush puppy’s teeth, So she acted like she brushed his teeth then he let her brush one of his, Then he was done so she got the dentist and he came in to look and see if there were any problems and as far as he could see no cavities or decay no teeth growing in strange, He said he doesn’t have all his top teeth yet but he is working on them, That explains why he is chewing on everything! After he got done looking at his teeth we took him out he got a prize and a sticker. Then we waited in the lab for lunch time and went to lunch with my Aunt and Grandma. He was tired when we got home but Keith and I played with him for a little bit. Well after we built a block tower we tucked him in to bed then left the room. Keith left for work and I came in to bed to try to nap. I got up to go see if someone was at the door and saw Ethan asleep on the couch, I took a picture of him because he looked so cute. I came back in and slept for a few hours then got up, I got chicken out to defrost really quick then made some cheesy chicken strips that I found in my cook book, By that time Ethan was awake he slept until after 6 it was the best nap he has had in a few days. I got dinner in the over around 6:45 Shawnda dropped the boys off and at 7:00 the food was done and I fed them they all inhaled the chicken and William told me he would like for me to tell his mom how to make it. So I got the cook book out wrote down how to make it and then cleaned up the dinner mess and took the boys outside for a little bit. It was almost 8:00 and I thought that their mom was going to come at 8:00 to get them so we played outside and waited for her to come but at 9:00 when she wasn’t here I took them back in and put the four of them in the tub. Xavier wasn’t happy so I washed him off then he fell asleep in my bed while the other three played in the tub and I washed their clothes. I was just getting them out of the tub when Shawnda and John showed up. So I got them dressed in underwear of Ethan’s then they ate more chicken picked up the toys and left. As soon as they left Ethan ran in to his room got in bed covered up and told me he needed a kiss, I gave him a kiss and tucked him in then left his room and went to get in the shower. Now I am thinking it is bed time seeing how it is already 11 and I am pretty tired. Still no wireless we have to figure out what the heck is going on with that. My photo for today is of Ethan sleeping on the couch. 1 Week 6 Days (13 days) until my due date!

Day 346

Tuesday July 12- Well today I am exhausted because I got maybe 30 minutes of sleep last night the rest of the night I was up digging at my hands and feet because they itch so bad. Ethan got up around 7:30 and we played until about 11 when Keith got up. Then I tried to take a nap but I couldn’t sleep then either because of the itching. I got out of bed at 1:00 and got Ethan Keith and I some lunch then put Ethan in for his nap by that time my grandma was here, she was going to sit with Ethan while I went to the doctor at 2:45. I got my shower and left our house at 2:35 thinking that would give me enough time to get there seeing how I am less then 5 minutes away from the office but I had no idea the road was a one lane road and traffic was backed up. I got there right at 2:45 and I like to be at least 5 minutes early. It was busy today so I had to wait what felt like forever it is the longest I have ever waited there. So when I went back I told the nurse about my itching and she told the doctor and all he said was there is nothing he can do for it and it will go away after the baby is born and if I needed to use lotion, but that does nothing for me. He checked me like he does every week and said it is going to be a while longer and NOW he is worried about how big he is going to be. He wants to keep it “easy” on me but thinks he might be a little on the big side. I sure hope not. Well all that just made me depressed! I was wanting him to say that I was at least soft or starting to dilate but he didn’t. Just said a while longer. Well after I left there I ran to get my vitamins then came back home and talked to my grandma for a little while then she left and I got ready to finish dinner I had pork chops in my slow cooker all day, Kim and the boys came over we ate dinner then I started to get cramps, I got on google to see what they could be because I have never felt them before while pregnant it kind of felt like menstrual cramps and all I could find was it is early labor and they are contractions so I started to time them and then they went away. After Kim left I washed the dishes then put Ethan in the tub he has a dentist appointment in the morning and I know how much he hates morning baths. After I got him in bed I painted my nails then went to bed myself. Oh I almost forgot Kate (a friend) came over to drop off a booster seat so I can keep it here in case I go into labor and need someone to come pick me up, This way I can just toss it in whatever car I am going in and buckle Ethan up and don’t have to take the car seat out of our car and keep putting it back in when we need to use it, and I don’t have to fight to buckle it in while in labor. I got that washed up and ready to use for whenever I do go into labor but I don’t think I am going to go anytime soon I will probably end up being late and needing induced. My photo is going to be of the booster seat. My wireless is still not working so I am just going to blog a few days in word processor to keep up then post more than one at a time because hooking my computer up all the time is a pain in the butt.

2 Weeks 0 Days (14 days) until my due date!

Day 345

Monday July 11- Well my goal for today was to clean the whole house, Well the rest of the house. I had Ethan’s room done and the living room I just needed to do the kitchen, bathroom and my room. I wanted to deep clean them like I did the living room. Keith got up with Ethan and let me sleep in. I got up at like 9:30 and started to clean right away. I started in my room, I had some Christmas stuff still in my room that I have been asking my dad to pick up so I got ready and Keith and I ran it over to his house and then we went to Wal-Mart and I got some cleaning supplies and lunch meat for Keith. Then we ran to goodwill to drop stuff off and then to rite aide to get my iron pills and prenatal vitamins and I have two other prescriptions as well, well they gave me the refill on three of the four prescriptions but the one I needed they did NOT refill so I have to go back tomorrow for my prenatal vitamins. Well when we got home I put Ethan in for a nap and got back to work on cleaning! I got most of the kitchen done and the bathroom done then a huge storm came in and woke Ethan up so he wanted to lay in my bed and listen to the thunder. So we laid there for about twenty minutes and then I got up and got back to work. I had to finish my room it still had some toys in there and the floor needed swept. I got that done the bedding washed and back on then I swept the bedroom and kitchen, That just left dishes and laundry. I was going to wait to do dishes when Ethan went to bed but then I figured I wanted to be done so I did them real quick, Then we ate dinner I finished the dishes and then Ethan played I sat down I had everything done but laundry. After I put Ethan to bed I got a quick shower to get the stuff I used to clean off me plus I was so sweaty it was nasty. After my shower I cleaned the pack-n-play. I knew it was dirty but I did not realize how dirty it was until I started to clean it. I know Ethan slept in it for 2 months as a baby then I took it to my dads house for when we were there for his naps. He puked and leaked out of his diaper and spilled juice and other stuff on it. It was pretty nasty! I finally got that clean and looking a lot better. I just got the last load of laundry in the dryer and got dinner ready for tomorrow, Now I am watching secret life and relaxing. As soon as it is over I am going to bed. During the storm a tree outside got knocked over and I heard it fall but did not go look to see what it was then when I took trash out I saw it was down so I took a photo of it to send to Keith and that is my photo for today.

2 Weeks 1 Day (15 days) until my due date!

Day 344

Sunday July 10- Well today I was going to go to church but slept through my alarm and did not get up until 11:00. I got up ate and then got ready to go get Ethan. We hung around at Keith’s moms house for a little bit had lunch then got ready and went to the lake. As soon as Ethan saw where we were going he started to say Papa I want to Bish. He did not stop until his Papa took him fishing. After he fished for a little while he got ready and took a short nap and once he got up he ate and when my dad got up to use the restroom Ethan thought he was going to go fishing again and said Papa I want to bish too and my dad was like well I am not going fishing and your still eating he dropped his fork and said ok I’m done jumped down from the table and started to follow my dad. I made him wait in the camper until I was done eating then I told him we would go for a walk to the potty and maybe go fishing. Well by time we got half way to the bathroom my dad was done talking and told Ethan that he would take him fishing so they went to the boat while I went to the bathroom. When I got to the boat it was running and Ethan said hurry mommy were going for ride. So I told him I had to run back to the camper to get a life jacket for him and he was like hurry up mommy. So I went back got the jacket and then we went on a nice boat ride and fed the ducks. When we got back my Aunt had dinner made so we ate then played outside and my Aunt painted on my belly again. While she did that Ethan and the two other boys painted a cardboard box saying it was Barney’s house, After my Aunt finished her painting I took pictures then washed it off. Then cleaned everything up and got Ethan ready to come home. The road I always take had a huge accident on it and was closed so I had to go a way I was unsure of so I pulled over and called my dad to see what way to go. Finally I got home and Ethan got his bath and we put him to bed then I sat and relaxed for a little while and when I went to type my blog I noticed our wireless is out and I have to type it in Microsoft Works Word Processor just so I have it typed. Now I am getting ready to go get a quick shower then go to bed. Oh Keith and I talked about the baby’s name and I told him I was not crazy about the middle name I did not want to name him Liam Nicholas so we talked and now we are going to name him Liam James. I gave Keith the choice between Liam Jace or Liam James and he said he likes James better. So it is official we are naming him Liam James Beamish. My photos are of Ethan and my dad fishing, Ethan on the boat, Ethan with a fishing net over his head, and a few of the picture my Aunt painted tonight.
2 Weeks 2 Days (16 days) until my due date!

Day 343

Saturday July 9- Well I got up played with Ethan baked some cookies and rested on the couch. At 1 I put Ethan in for his nap then got my shower and when he got up his grammy was here to get him to spend the day with him so Keith and I could go shopping. We stopped my our mall to look for Big Brother Little Brother shirts but none of the stores had them so we went to Canton. We were going to go the the 10:00 showing of Transformers but when we got to Canton we went to dinner and Babies-R-Us found the shirts for the boys then went to best buy, After that I told Keith because it was only 7:00 we should run to the theater in Canton to check movie times and lucky for us the movie was just starting so we went and saw that then we headed back into town to stop by wal-mart. I needed to pick up diapers to pack for my grandma so when I go into labor she already has all Ethan's stuff and we don't have to worry about anything. Then we wanted a gift to give to Ethan from Liam so when he first comes to the hospital we can give it to him from his brother. We already had a gift for Ethan to bring to his brother so we have everything we need now. We ended up getting him a plane and a pack of cars from his baby brother. I hope he likes them. Now I am getting ready to go to bed.. Not sure if I am going to go to church tomorrow or sleep in until Ethan gets home.  My photo is going to be of the shirts we got the boys but I am going to post it later. For now I am going to bed.
2 Weeks 3 Days (17 days) until my due date!
I hope he comes next Friday on the full moon I did research and it said that the chances are possiable so fingers crossed he comes in 6 days!

Day 342

Friday July 8- Well today was a long day! Ethan got up at 7, fought with me about what he was eating for breakfast, He wanted fish sticks I made him eat a pancake first. Then I started dinner in the slow cooker and when his dad got up We all played in the bed acting like we were sleeping. Keith left for work but he came back home to drop off wendy's for me then he went to work and Ethan fought sleep unitl it was to late for him to nap. I cleaned the living room. I have everything dusted, I even moved the sofa and cleaned under it and the rocking chair. I took down all the curtians and washed them and fed Ethan again another fight he wanted fish sticks I told him no he had them for lunch then, He ate his potatoes but nothing else, Then I got him to eat my chicken and then I hung the curtians back up and got Ethan ready for bed. I made him go in at 8:00 tonight because he skipped nap time and was super fussy! I have been having trouble with him going to bed and staying there the past few weeks so what I started to do was put him in bed and shut everything off in the whole house and shut the gate so he cannot get out of the living room, his room is right off the living room so he only has the two rooms he can get to. Then I come to my room and either read my book or get on my computer until I get tired then I shut off the little light I have by my bed and go to sleep. Then when Keith gets home he opens the gate so Ethan can get us up in the morning. Well tonight after I put him in bed I got my shower and when I got out I went to see if he was sleeping but he was still up playing in the rocking chair so I walked him to bed and tucked him in again then came back to my room. He finally fell asleep at his normal bed time 9:00. I am going to go to bed here soon it is almost 11:00 now and I am tired. Tomorrow I am going to clean Ethan's room wash his curtians then do the kitchen, bathroom and my room. I am looking forward to some family time with Keith but I need to get our room moved around so we can have the pack-n-play set up for Liam and not be moving it when we need to get dressed or what ever. I have no idea how we are going to set it all up but we at least need to clean our messy room. I am in the nesting stage, something I never went through with Ethan! I have no idea what I am going to use for my photo today because I honestly did not take one yet.

2 Weeks 4 Days (18 days) until my due date!

Day 341

Thursday July 7- Well my landlord did not come again today so we still have the leak! I slept in today because I was up from 4 until 7 with contractions and was almost sure I was in real labor! Then they got dull enough to sleep so I slept in. When I got up Keith made me pancakes and then I got my shower and spent time with Ethan until his nap time. He fought so long and hard I gave up and locked him in the living room with the t.v off and he finally fell asleep in the rocking chair. I think he was to hot in his room. So while he slept I laid in bed and relaxed. We did not do anything today but play and snuggle. My photo is of Ethan asleep in the chair at nap time, He wanted to sleep there for bed time too so I let him.

Well today was a pretty boring day! I got up with Ethan and we played and snuggled then when Keith got up I got ready and ran to my dads to drop off the five tubs of baby clothes that are to big for Liam and a few toys that Ethan doesn't play with but will be to old for Liam right away. Then I ran to the store for a few things came home and took a nap. I waited around for my landlord to come back like he said he was going to but he didn't so I guess he will come tomorrow. I started a new book today since I finished the other one last night so far I am not able to get into it but I guess it will take time. I also got almost all of Ethan's stuff out for when I go into labor I just need a few things that I cannot pack away until he is leaving like shoes and tooth brush but I need a bag or something to put his clothes in because right now they are in the crib. My photo is going to be of the new book I just started today.

Well I had to be at the doctors by 3 so I got Ethan ready and waited for my grandma to come get us. Of corse the day I have some place I HAVE to go my landlord comes back he said he was sick and could not come back over the weekend, he worked on the leak and I kept an eye on the time. It was 3:00 and my grandma was not here yet. Then at 3:10 she comes in my landlord was like do you have to leave I was like yea so he left the leak still not fixed because he thinks the whole pipe needs changed. Well he told me he wold be back tomorrow. After he left I rushed around to get the seat and Ethan in the car then I called the doctors office and told them I was running late but I was going to be there. I got there at 3:24, Well he checked me and said he could feel Liam's head but I was not dilated any yet, After my appointment I had my grandma run me to wal-mart to get her house key made and she picked up a few things. then we ran by her house to make sure the key worked and then to sears to pay her bill and then home. Next week my grandma is just going to sit with Ethan while I go to the doctor so that way he can take his nap. I wish my appointments were ealry morning again that way I would not need a ride but I have to take what I can get. While I was at Wal-mart I picked up a magazine that a lady at work let me look at of hers and it had a ton of cute cupcake ideas and things I wanted to try so I got the book and that is my photo for today!

While the boys were all sleeping my sister uncle and I ran to the store and by time we got back they were all awake and had lunch so we went swimming for a few hours. After swimming we went back to dry off and get dinner then we went back out on the boat to watch fireworks we wanted to get a good spot so we went out at 8:30 when they did not start until 10.
Keith and his dad made me so mad today too. We planned this day over a month ago! We all were going to go to the lake as a family and spend the day together seeing how he works so much we never have time with him. Well he changed his plans and wanted to change Ethan's too but I said NO! He went on a bike ride with his dad they wanted me to go with them but I am way to pregnant to do that! I told him I made plans for Ethan and I and he was NOT going to change them! He told me they would only be gone a few hours then he was coming to the lake well at 7:30 he texts me saying he is on his way back to his dads and wants me to pick him up! A few hours my ass! He left at 1 to go with them! I told him he was to be ready and waiting when I got there because I was NOT going to get out of the car and I was NOT going to sit and wiat for him. They were all mad I would not let Ethan go because Keith thought I said he could when I never did. We had way to much fun going to the lake and I think Ethan would of been tired cranky and hungry and would not have sat still long enough to go on a ride! Oh well they should know from now on I am not a push over and my mind cannot be changed!

Day 337

Sunday July 3- I got up went to church but I left Ethan at home because he was not awake yet when I had to leave. At church I worked my last day in the toddler room until after Liam is born and I feel up to working again. One of the girls e-mailed me asking if I would be in a photo of the pregnant women who are due soon at the church. There are 7 of us due in July or the first week in August. So after church I found her and got the picture with 4 of the other girls. We did not plan it but we stood in order of our due dates. 2 of the 3 are scheduled c-sections so they know 100% sure they are having their girls on the day listed in the caption the rest of us are natural lol. Well after church I went picked up Ethan then went to the lake. We went swimming for a little while then went back to eat dinner and when it got cool we all went for a nice long six and a half mile walk! While on the walk my car keys fell out of the cup holder in the stroller and I was not going to go back out to hunt them I was stiff enough as it was. plus it was dark and late. My dad got Ethan in the car because he was sleeping then we ran to my house put Ethan to bed then took the spare keys out so I could get my car. After I got home I had Keith rub my back for a little while then went to bed because it was after 1. My photo is the one from the church of all us pregnant ladies. I put a caption with due dates and what we are having. Oh and after all the babies are born we are taking another photo of us with the little ones!

Day 336

Saturday July 2- Well today I got up got a shower and got ready to go baby shopping. Keith's dad and step mom came over picked us up then we went to get the mattress for Liam's bed. After getting that we figured we would go to the cheese factory and then a few other amish stores. It was fun but they did not think about Ethan it was past nap time and he did not have lunch yet and it was 4 by time we got back home and I had to run to the store to get something for a cookout and then to meet my dad so I knew where I was going and the cookout started at 4 so we were late and that made me mad because I told them I was going before we ever left our house. While at the cookout we fished and had a lot of fun after we ate my sister dad and I got the 4 boys ready and went to see fireworks. Ethan loved them he kept askign for "bean" ones. I have no idea why the green were his favorite but he loved them. Then after the fireworks we came home Ethan was out cold and we right to bed. My photo is of Xavier with the fish he cought with his daddy,

Day 335

Friday July 1- Well it is July so Liam can come any day within the next 30 days lol. As long as it is July I will be happy! Well Ethan has been getting bruises so easy that I said something to his doctor and she ordered blood work so I figured before Keith went to work I would run him over to the hospital to get it done, I did not think it was going to go so well but the only problem we had was when she put the band on his arm and took puppy. He fought that a little then the one nurse said I needed to hold his right arm and she would hold his left and the other would draw his blood. Well she stuck the needle in and he just sat there she took out the blood she needed and then took out the needle and when she did Ethan just said thanks. So on the way home we stopped by McDonalds and I got him his own smoothie, that is my picture for today him drinking his smoothie.

Thursday June 30-  I kept my sisters boys for a little bit today while she worked and my brother in law tried to fix their car. Then after she got off we all went to her house to go swimming, The water was cold but it felt great! Before we went to her house while the boys were still here my landlord stopped by to see if he could fix a leak we have and he did not bring any tools and William kept telling his dad that I had a plumber here with no tools and he was going to tell his uncle Keith I had a guy here. Needless to say Keith knew he was coming and the leak did not get fixed, My photo is of me my sister and the 4 boys in the pool.
