Moving and Settling in!

We have finally moved in this weekend. Everything is in the house, but not put away! Thankfully just in time before we start on our world win Christmas trip to four families. I will get to meet my new nephew on Christmas Day. Pictures will follow of Princess Cobra (no name as of yet), Joshua Stephens, Christmas, and our new house!!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!
P.S. For those who are concerned Princess Cobra was not injured in the move. I have a wonderful and protective husband. He is completely exhausted from moving and trying to keep me from over doing it!

Princess Cobra Pictures

Here are the pictures from our last ultrasound. Princess Cobra is definitely a girl!





Here Spine looks great!!!!



Look at that cute chicken leg!




The side of her pretty face!



The doc was pushing so hard on my very full belly to find "my little princess"
I think she got scared and decided to duck and cover.

Princess Cobra's Check up


Have you ever spent a complete day at multiple doctor's offices? I have. I left at 8:00 am and didn't get home to until 6:00 pm. ( I did go home for lunch.) P. C. is perfect she is 26 weeks along and the perfect size in my belly. Her heart beat is 156, and I gained 4 more pounds. This is a feat when all I did at first was lose weight.
My sugar test went well, but I failed the hemoglobin portion. My O.B. sent me to another section of the hospital to have blood drawn. I will know soon if I have to have shots or just more pills.
G (my husband) and I did get to take a tour of the hospital were I will deliver. It's pretty nice. Did you know that the baby stays in the room the whole time. They won't take her to "the nursery". We did get to ask a ton of questions.
Do you have any advice or questions we should ask?

After lunch, I was sent to an allergist that sees pregnant women. I told him I didn't have allergies or asthma, but he didn't believe me. I was then given 60 pricks to find out what I was allergic to. Guess what! I'm not allergic to anything. What a concept, I was right. After another series of tests, (because there had to be something wrong with me - I had a cold) the doctor came in and said, "You have pregnancy asthma." Who in the world has heard of that. I have asthma brought on by hormones. I have 4 new medications to help me fend off sickness and help me breath.
Now here is the fun part, I have to go back in two weeks for a check up at both both doctors and a dermatologist who is going to "dig out" my birthmark. I do love feeling Princess Cobra move inside me. I just wish all the other stuff would disappear. I even called my mom asked her if I am a mental case. The hormones are making my life difficult at best.
Does it get better or is it like this until they graduate?
