27 weeks

Wow. This pregnancy is FLYING by. I'm officially in my third trimester and I can barely believe it. Little baby tres will be here in a little over 12 weeks. Gulp. That makes me panic just a little. Although I am starting to finally get excited about meeting our newest member of the Allen boys wrestling team, I'm scared to death on how I will deal with 3 small boys and a husband in Graduate school. We got Brazos singed up for Daycare/PreK a couple days a week and he will start full time at the end of May. This is a HUGE releif. I was worried that our poor nanny may up and quit if she had to take care of all three boys after I go back. And with her here to help, I'm feeling better about handling maternity leave at least. Now if Beckett can continue with his sleeping through the night, and not having to rock before bed, my anxiety will be that much less. Baby tres just needs to be an easy baby and I think I'll be able to handle this crazy bunch for a few months at least. 
Other than the worry about adding the new member to the chaos, I'm feeling ok. Starting to get fatigue again and hitting that uncomfortable stage. Fighting a little bought of depression at the moment as well but hopefully I'll push through that soon. Those are pretty typical things and I can't complain overall. Feel pretty good for the most part.
My soon to be sister in law Brandy has asked to throw me a baby shower which I was pretty flattered and honored so of course I said yes. We are having that mid April. I think some of my coworkers are planning something for me at work as well...which either way, I'm fine if they do or don't. This is my 3rd baby after all. I'm putting a mental list together of all the things I need to do before he gets here and really need to start putting that list in to action. Baby clothes washed, set up a space somewhere in this tiny apartment for a bassinet, pack hospital bag, etc. it's just coming way too fast! Gonna be a crazy summer and trying to mentally prepare as well.

Romping In The Bluebonnets

This weekend was our weekend in Texas for J's buddy's wedding. So, J, j, Gemma and myself all loaded up, and we drove down Thursday night (overnight) to BCS to spend some time with J's family too. I, of course, have never been down to Texas in the spring, but the wildflowers are GORGEOUS, especially the bluebonnets. It just looks like they exploded all over the country side! They were everywhere. J's mom wanted us all to take some pictures in the bluebonnets so we drove out to the side of a road in the middle of wherever and took some pics. They turned out great. It was quite entertaining to get the kiddos (J's nieces were there too) to cooperate and the puppy, not to mention J's mom losing her balance to kneel down with her grandbabies . And she had to wrangle all three kids and a puppy to take J & I's pic together...God bless her. It was NOT easy. Ha! The most adorable picture of them all was of my little baby girl: How precious is this picture?...

29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks exactly. I'm at +24 lbs which is a little higher than I would like, but after a week of crappy eating on vacation, I won't complain too much. My blood pressure is good and just got word that I passed my glucose test. Yay! My emotions get the better of me a lot this pregnancy, but I don't know if its all pregnancy related or if some of it is just me trying to work through a lot of emotional issues - either way, trying to hold it together some days has been rough. I just wish I was able to enjoy being pregnant...but alas, its just not meant to be. Trying to enjoy it as much as possible, all the little kicks and wiggles and special time with Beckett. Also, trying very hard to stay focused on eating healthy and walking as much as I can, although, I can't walk far anymore without the belly cramping. Still trying to keep from gaining that 50 lbs like I did last time ;) Beckett is extremely active, and according to the baby center emails I get, he...

Beckett Anthony Allen

Beckett is here! (Well over 2 months ago) Born 11/26/13 at 5 pm 8 lbs 14 oz 20.5 in Contractions started 10:30 pm on 11/25. I was having r egular contractions but they weren't very strong. Around 2 am, they were getting a little stronger and we decided to go to the hospital. Jason grabbed Brazos out of bed, blankets and all, and took him over to the neighbors house. Then we were off to the hospital. We called all the grandparents to let them know we were on our way. They hooked me up to the monitors and watched me for an hour. I made about a cm progress and I was a day passed my due date so they admitted me (about 3 am) Mom, dad and heather first to arrive. I didn't know Heather was coming so that was an awesome surprise! She didn't get to be there with Brazos so I was beyond thrilled she could be there this time. My dad arrived shortly after. Contractions were still not painful so I waited for a couple hours to get the epidural, around 6:30 am. That was pro...
