The Tot Clock

My friend Lindsey has two twin boys......the daylight savings time has them waking her up at the crack of dawn. She is praising the tot clock and is doing a giveaway. Go to her blog and check it out....http://adam-andrew.blogspot.com/ her precious boys Adam and Andrew.....

We are making progress on Rory's room......i have started to feel a bit overwhelmed lately. There is so much to do, but Baby Rory is coming whether we are ready or not. This weekend, Greg was at a bachelor party, but as soon as he walked in the door....did i let him sit down and watch the cowboys like a good wife.....no I was a crazy hormonal wife who made him switch out the guest bedroom furniture that is in Rory's room to the other guest room. And like a good husband (who doesn't want his wife to breakdown in tears that won't stop) he obliged. I had a good case of the water works all day sunday....even crying over the Khloe Kardashian wedding. pathetic I know....it's the baby. Thank you to my Mom and Rick, and Jerry and Vickie.....an early baby shower gift is on the way....Rory's bedroom set. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Above are a few pictures of the newly guest bedroom and Rory's furniture that is on the way. :)

I also had a doctor's appointment on Monday.....i didn't know whether to get the Swine Flu shot. I have been reading and hearing too much. But after listening to my pops and Dr. Vaughan I agreed to have it. The nurse said I tensed up right as she put the needle in....and boy did i feel it. Then I took the sugar test to check for diabetes. You have to drink this stuff that at first taste like kool-aid but towards the end just taste like thick cough syrup. Then I sat around the doctor's office for an hour and had my blood drawn. I did however eat two cookies about 2 hours before the test so my results could be off. :) My sweet tooth has gotten out of control lately and I have promised myself no sweets till thanksgiving. 7 days..... I think I can do it!!!

Doctor's Visit....no more High Risk :)

Greg and I had our 2nd visit with Dr. Payne (perinatal high risk doctor) yesterday. He said everything looks wonderful and that I only need to go to him one more time next month and then I can just stick with my ob, Dr. Vaughan. :) So no more high risk for me and Baby Rory. :)

Her head is already down to the pubic bone.....which is good because once she gets big enough she won't be able to move around as much and we don't want her coming out feet first. However, there is a lot of pressure down there making it uncomfortable and sometimes painful. She weights 1.5 lbs and we got to see her eat....it was so cute!!!!

Greg and I ate yummy Christina's Mexican Food after the appointment. :) I did miss that margarita i usually have......:)

This weekend I drove down to Georgetown again because I was a one of the hostess for my dear friend, Britni's, wedding shower. I was still recovering from my two week illness with the flu and then a sinus infection followed.....so I hate to admit this but I went to bed at 6:30pm on Saturday night. An all time early bed time even for me. We went to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch on Saturday for my sister, Merezie's birthday. HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY Merezie! Then we did a little bit of shopping and then Reagan and I went back to her house to watch TV. We were both in bed at 6:30pm....however I went to bed immediately and she watched a couple of movies. (Thank you for not judging me Leaganater) Needless to say I was up at 5am ready to start the day. :)

Amanda, Shannon, and I held a wonderful shower at Annarella's for Britni and Brian. It was a great Sunday of girl talk and snacking. :) We have a doctor's appointment with the perinatal doctor tomorrow afternoon....just a monthly check up. :)

I am fairly large now and uncomfortable.......i wake up ever couple hours during the night and my biggest complaint so far is I am having teeth pain. It might be the sinus infection wearing off. But my teeth hurt hurt hurt. Hopefully, it is just leftover from the sinus infection and will be gone soon.

Happy Halloween!

Greg and I decided to drive to Austin for Halloween this year......since it was on a Saturday. It was supposed to be just me, but Greg switched shifts and was able to make it. YEAH!!! We haven't been to Austin since June I think for Lindsey and Aaron's wedding. So it was very nice. We drove down early Saturday and met the family at Tres Amigos. (my families favorite restaurant) Every Saturday or Sunday I call my family and they are always eating somewhere together. This makes me so sad because I miss being near them, so it was nice that Greg and I could be there. Afterwards, the boys went home to watch football and the girls went shopping at Barton Creek. My mom bought me a lot of new maternity clothes since I have been wearing the same 3 shirts every weekend. Thanks MOM!!! Then we came home and took a nap. That night Reagan, Fuller, Greg, and I took Cooper trick or treating. He was very hesitant at first to put on his costume, but with this uncle's pumping him up he put it on. Last year the same thing happened and he didn't want to put his costume on or go trick or treating. But after we took him to a few houses he was on a roll and having the time of this life. He would say, "Trick or Treaty." It was very cute. And when they opened their doors he just walked right on in. After about an hour we went back to the house and watched football, had pizza, and passed out candy. It was a great Halloween!

Greg or Emilio Estevez???? This morning we were watching Young Guns on TV. When Cooper said, "Hey Greg your on tv." Referring to Emilio Estevez. Everytime Emilio would win a fight cooper would say, "Good Job Greg." This went on throughout the movie. I guess he does look like him.....we were laughing so hard. It was so cute and we got a kick out of it.

Sick-FLU??

It started with a headache on Sunday evening.....it progressed into chills, body aches etc by Monday. We already had a doctor's appointment planned for Monday, so we went in and he said since I didn't have a fever it was probably just a cold, but could be the early signs of the flu. They checked Rory's heartbeat and said it sounded great. So even though Mom doesn't feel well Rory is doing great. Well, by Tuesday AM I had reached a 102 degree temperature, with the worse chills and any light gave me the worst headache. The doctor called in Tamiflu and told me to take that with Tylenol to get the fever down. Yesterday evening, my temperature had gotten down but then I woke up in the middle of the night and it was back up to 102. It was down again this morning and now I just have a sore throat and stuffy nose. Much better then the chills and body aches. I just hope it doesnt go back up tonight. :( On a positive note, while taking one of the dozen baths I have taken the last few days to sooth those chills....i witnessed Miss Rory moving around. I was just watching my tummy when it looked to be twitching wildly in various spots. That was very neat and comforting knowing she is bouncing around in there! And last night greg too could feel and see her making her moves. I suppose my coughing has been interrupting her sleeping schedule. Let's just hope the fever doesn't come back tonight. My teachers assistant Ms Kelli called and told me Monday that we only had 13 out of 21 kids in attendance. The rest were out with stomach bugs, flu, and strep. I guess it is that time of year! :(

Cooper and Auntie's Weekend Of Fun

Greg had a golf tournament this weekend....so Reagan and Cooper decided to drive up to keep me company. These are absolutely my favorite weekends when my sisters and Cooper come to visit. We have so much fun!!! On Friday, we went to Target and my wonderful sister bought me some comfy maternity pants and we of course bought Cooper an adorable Pirate pajama set. He loves coming up here and watching Pirates of the Caribbean....which his Uncle Greg happily introduced to him to. He says "Pirates of the Caribbean" with a country twang and it is so cute. Greg was able to meet us for dinner at Cheesecake Factory. It was delicious!!! After dinner, Greg and Cooper went back to the golf course to get Layla. Cooper loves going to Uncle Greg's work and hanging out at the golf course.

On Saturday, Reagan, Cooper, and I met my good friend Jamie at the Rainforest Cafe for lunch. Cooper enjoyed it, but covered his ears most of the time due to the loud animal noises. It is a great restaurant for kids, however, it was very hard to hold an adult conversation with all of the hootin and hollerin courtesy of the gorillas etc. We then went shopping around Grapevine Mills. Cooper and I had some delicous Dinky Doozies from the Great American Cookie Company!!! :)

We then came home and watched Pirates of the Caribbean....of course. :) And then took the dogs, and Cooper to the park. Thanks to his Aunts....Cooper had been eating sugar most of the day...fruit snacks, marshmallow, dinky doozies etc. He went crazy on the playground.....it was very funny to watch. We made him have a sensible dinner.....even though he kept wanting more sweets.

Greg worked late, but we had to wait up for Uncle Greg. Cooper was watching Lady and the Tramp with us in the bedroom. (Cooper and I were watching Lady and the Tramp.....Greg was keeping up with the Tech/A&M score....i am very glad that game was not on tv) :( Anyways, while we were watching Lady and the Tramp....Cooper kissed my tummy and said, "Hi Rory!" He then proceeded to talk to her. It was so cute!! He is ready for his cousin to arrive....and makes little comments like...."Rory can share my toys."

Today Greg and I went to church and then to Jason's Deli for lunch.....finishing the evening watching the Cowboys.

Thank you Reagie for coming up here to visit and bringing Cooper......i love you and yall make me so happy!!!!
