We Have An Announcement...

Beckett would like to announce, he's being promoted to Big Brother. Baby Allen #3 will be here on/around May 27, 2015. This baby is a BIG surprise...frankly, I'm kicking myself for being so stubborn about the whole "I don't want to mess with my milk supply so I'm just going to count my days in my cycle and not take my birth control" decision. But we are just going to move passed all that and my total panic attack over what the hell we are going to do for 7 month [or more] till Daddy finishes school and starts working. . .[pardon me while I freak out for a brief moment for the billionth time] but I digress. We are slowly moving passed shock and in to excitement, as we start to announce the news to everyone. At least we've had fun with all the responses everyone's had. Babies are always exciting good news, right?
Moving on, I had my first dr appointment yesterday. All is well so far and I got to see our newest little bean and his/her heart beating in a sonogram. I'm about 11 days behind in this pregnancy where we thought we were which totally explains how I miss counted in the first place (obviously I ovulated much later than I should have). Baby is measuring just under 7 weeks. I feel good except I'm super, duper exhausted as per the usual and I just don't really "feel" pregnant for some strange reason. Maybe I'm in denial....heh. But it's happening, it's official. I'm even wearing my first maternity clothing today. 
Definitely more bloat this baby at this point but it's out there already [sarcastic yay]. I'm still breastfeeding Beckett at the moment but I'm thinking in going to have to wean Beckett sooner rather than later because my supply is slowly dying. It's not going to be easy, Beckett loves the boobies. But nothing has been easy with Beckett so far so why start now. Ha! And yes we are definitely hoping for a girl this time. Brazos says he wants a sister and that it's a girl. We asked which he wanted and he said girl without hesitation, so I hope he's not disappointed. We'll see a little after Christmas. We hope to do a fun little gender reveal so stay tuned for that. But I have to say if it's a boy, I won't be sad...just slightly less excited than if it was a girl. A girl would just be perfect and finish our family off nicely.
So that's our exciting news. I'm terribly behind on posting in this blog but I'm just going to pick up where I left off and just go with it. Poor Beckett's whole life is missing from here but I'll catch up in a few posts leading up to his FIRST BIRTHDAY coming up in a couple months. Plus Brazos needs some updates too.
Out for now.

Copy Cat

I'm contemplating doing a Project 365 blog... Such a cool idea and I think it would be fun to look back and see how my year was in pictures :) And, yes, I'm copying off my sister's 365 blog . Opinions?

Almost Fainted Yesterday - Not. Cool.

Yesterday late morning I was sitting at my desk and I felt...funny. Then the "funny" feeling turned into ears ringing, hot flash, seeing stars, light- headedness . Scared the poo out of me. So I sat at my desk for a good 2 to 3 minutes with my head between my knees - or atleast as close to my knees as I can get right now - trying not to panic and make it worse. I never actually passed out/fainted but got pretty close. The thing that scared me the most though was that NO ONE AROUND ME NOTICED! Not that I wanted all kinds of people flocking over to me to see if I was ok , but would have felt a little better if one person would've atleast thrown me an "are you alright?". I hope I never go into labor at work, good grief. I'll be driving myself to the hospital and two hours later people will be going "Where's D?" That diva moment aside, I finally felt ok to stand up and walk to the breakroom to get a glass of water and then asked my boss to go d...

[Im]Patiently Waiting for Baby Allen - 4 weeks to go!

I started out this pregnancy looking like this: And here I am at [almost] 36 weeks: Holy crap, I sure hope that tiny tummy comes back to me after this baby is born...and I lose a couple chins...and a couple pounds off the cheeks, both sets. I think I'll leave my hair long though. Not cute in that first picture. Anywhozit - 4 weeks to go!! Yay, I'm so excited. I had my doc appt and BPP yesterday. Baby didn't want to do his breaths at the BPP so we had to do an NST (Non-Stress Test). Basically, I sat in a big comfy recliner while they hooked the monitors up to my belly and recorded his heartbeat/movements and my contractions. I dozed off a couple times while I was sitting there listening to his heartbeat beep...it was rough. He passed the NST with flying colors - Dr even told me they could use my print out for textbooks because my results were EXACTLY what they should look like. (My child's perfect already - jealous?!) Next week is his growth scan [possibly his last one] ...
