Balloon Glow




Friday night at the Longview airport they had a balloon glow of all the hot air balloon's that they were going to race the next morning. Kevin and I drove up there and parked in the field to watch in the truck It wasn't anything hugely exciting but it was nice outside and nice to get out of the house for a bit. As always I have to sneak pictures of him or else he will block his face. The pictures didn't come out real well it was hard to get a picture, but here is what I was able to get.

32 weeks




So as you all can see I am getting huge and thanks to the pregnancy hormones and the Texas humidity my skin looks horrible and blotchy. Thankfully I have been lucky enough to not have any swelling.

LOL

I saw Tarah's post the other day of her 16 week pic and I had to laugh! TARAH YOU DON'T LOOK PREGNANT! I on the other hand I look like the Michelin tire man. I love how worried you are about everything right now but you cant tell. I promise though you'll wish you still looked that good in a neither 16 weeks!

Bad News :(

So most of you have heard by now that I went to the doctors yesterday and I was told I can not come to Arizona. I am still having contractions and the top part of my cervix is starting to open. I was placed on a daily medicine to stop my contractions, but as well was told I am not to do anything to prolong going into labor or my cervix dilating which I would then be placed on bed rest in the hospital. I am so upset because I was wanting to come visit so bad, but I know my priority right know is making sure Prestyn stays put and does not come out till he is ready.

I need to learn to keep my mouth shut this whole pregnancy I have stated that I just want him to hurry up and come because I hate being pregnant. Maybe I should have clarified better on when I wanted it to happen. I guess the lesson for me is be careful for what you ask for sometimes it comes true!!!!

Just Reminding Us Who's In Charge!

Well Friday was an eventful night and Prestyn definitely wanted to remind me who was in charge. I was admitted into the labor and delivery ward with contractions. After being their a while and having only small one they became closer together and very strong. I was given shots to stop them and thankfully they released me after I went a hour with no more contractions. Unfortunately I am on bed rest at least until Thursday when I go see the doctor next. I am really hoping I will not have to stay on. I am no where ready and Kevin has been constantly out of town so I am really on my own to finish things up. I Hope I am still able to make our trip in three weeks to Arizona, so please pray for me!!!

I am feeling as good as I can be at this point I guess I'm ready for it to be over, but I am definitely not ready for him to come yet. This child is so stubborn I wonder where he gets it from?

Wild Life







Kevin and I yesterday were relaxing on the couch watching TV when our female lab (Tia) went nuts over something in the yard. Much to our surprise their was a baby doe! They are all over the place but for it to be walking down our road was weird. I couldn't help but take pictures it didn't even mind that we were that close. This is what I love about Texas the wild life always is giving you new surprises. As long as it's not skunks, armadillos, or possums and then were good!!!!

Full View


I'm sure this photo will make Dana happy since she's been requesting a full view photo. I look like crap I'm sorry I had to get dressed today with no electricity because of the storms rolling threw. I also just got done cutting up onions for dinner so needless to say this photo is far from cute!

A Comedian for a Doctor!

So I had my doctors visit today, I so far have been very lucky to not have gained much weight with this pregnancy. Everytime I go in my doctor he tells me that Im doing great staying fit and trim. Well today he clearly was in a joking mood because he told me I make it look easy and I should have about 8 kids. YEAH RIGHT I believe were the words from my mouth he just laughed and a walked out of the room. I may be able to keep my weight low during this pregnancy, but all the other issues ive had im not even sure if im willing to get pregnant again. Well see what happens I need to make it through this one first before I make plans for any more.

Belly @ 27 weeks




Well since lately people have been asking for updated belly pic her are some I took today. I will try to get full shot ones that are better when Kevin gets home, but for now these will have to do!!! Everything is going good as long as I stay on my med's I feel great except for the rib and bladder pounding sessions!! I cant wait till he is out I swear he gets stronger and stronger by the day sometimes I want to cry he kicks me so hard! not even out yet and he's already giving me trouble man what I have to look forward to when he's here. I hope he does not follow in his dad's or my foot steps or were in BIG TROUBLE!!!!

Special Olympics!

So Saturday Kevin's mom and I drove to Dallas and volunteered at the Special Olympics. It was fun we were assigned to the track and field where we escorted each team member to their spot where they got ready to race. Some of these kids amazed me considering their disabilities of some they did a really good job. It was very hot and humid though so it made it very uncomfortable at times. I for the first time had my feet starting to swell needless to say by 3 o'clock we left. We had a hour break before the next race, but the heat was just getting to bad. I would do it again next year I hope they have this opportunity available again. I don't have any picture though I forgot my camera but don't worry their really was nothing to show except a fat pregnant lady baking in the sun!!!

Killer, Killer DEAL!!!

Yesterday I went back to the baby boutique that I found bedding that I liked. I was taking pictures of certain ones and sending them to Kevin for his feed back while he was working. One that I had liked before I was taking a pic of it to send to Kevin when the lady told me everything that was in the crib came FREE with the purchase of the bedding!!! That sold it for me $300 dollars worth of accessories free! I got the bumper, quilt, sheets, bed skirt, 6 accent pillows, 2 area rugs, mobile, lamp, throw blankets, and the hanging diaper bag all for $160 Bucks can you believe it I am so excited!

Bathroom art! (Not)


Ok so here's the story, when we moved into our house their was areas that I was touching up with paint. Unfortunately the bathroom was 2 shades lighter than the rest of the house so when I touched up the wall above the sink I made it 10x worse. As I am rearranging things for the new babies room I am having to bring all my beach stuff from that room to add to my bathroom. Since I had completely repainted the washroom the paint was much lighter so I decided to retouch up what I had already done in hopes it would fix it if not at least look a lot better. So as you can imagine I fixed the area and it looked like it was going to be ok! So I thought I walked out of the room to clean my brush and when I walked back in this is what I saw!!! A GIANT PENIS! No it's not a joke and now I cant fix it unless I repaint the whole bathroom so I just covered it with a picture.

The second one was the ultrasound I just had at 16.4 weeks this one is showing between the babies legs. From this picture the doctors very sure it's a BOY. No more girls for the Garvin family at least for now!!

A few of my favorite views











There is one thing that I love about texas whether its the sunsets or just taking a drive it never fails to stumble across a few georgeous views.

We gave back the dog :(

So we had our new dog for one day when the old owners called and asked for it back! Even though we didnt have to do this we chose to be nice and return the dog. I am so mad and irritated about this expecially since i drove over eleven hours to pick this dog up. Owe well right!!!
