Is it Winter yet?

Who is ready for winter? :)

My blog is.

I am great about keeping up with the seasons on the design of my blog :)

I am so ready for cold weather and snow! Ok maybe I am really not... my dog is alone outside since her big warm companion had to be put down last spring so I have to figure out what to do with her. (but maybe she got rabies from that opossum she had her mouth running around at midnight then I wont have to worry about her)

Then there is Ty's commute, winter driving to Everett sucks (but there is a big chance he will be cutting his commute in half by getting a transfer to Renton very soon)!!!

And the baby coming anytime in the next 6 weeks maybe later...

Oh but I love snow and cold weather so much :) Ok I am excited for winter and Christmas time!

update

It has been to long since I posted on here.

Some updates
Allyson had a check up last week and finally weighs more than 20lbs. 20lbs 7oz that is.


At 31 weeks the little boy moves like crazy at night. I have gained 19lbs. I am sure the next 9 or less weeks will go by faster than I want. My doctor said to expect a 36 week ultrasound to see how big he his.


My grandpa's tumer shrank in half and the doctors are planning on doing surgery next month. Things aee looking good for now. The first 2 chemo treatments did not make him very sick but he has been very sick with the last 2.


I hate the idea of renting but we need a place sooner than we can close on a house. So... we are looking for a house to rent. It is not much fun.

The diaper rash is back

It is terrible... poor baby is miserable. I have tried rash creams, anti fungal creams, prescription from the doctor, no diaper. We are trying an oatmeal bath in the morning. Now is it the soy or the apple juice causing the frequent diarrhea. I have been changing her 10 times a day... I am so tired of doctor run arounds I just want her to feel better. Anyway...

19 weeks



How far along: 19 weeks as of August 26

Weight gain/loss: 5 pounds total

Maternity clothes: got out my favorite under belly jeans

Stretch marks: blah  

Sleep: I am so tired and sleeping a lot

Best moment: found out we are having a boy

Movement: a little bit

Food Craving: I just love food in general

Gender predictions: It’s a boy

What I Miss: Ty was asked to go on the new zip line at North West Trek but he isn’t going because I can not. 
The doctor said the baby should be just fine if we go to the Tim Mcgraw concert just not a Ricky Martin concert (he had a bad experience) I wouldn’t be interest in that anyway.

How I am feeling: I feel fine :)

Some random thoughts

Some thoughts I wrote last week with updates from today

8/23We know what our little boy's name is but what about sharing it before he is born. I worry about someone stealing it. Although it is his name so it wouldn't matter we would still use it. I also do not want to hear opinions about the name. 8/27Ty told his mom the name we are thinking about so I guess I will tell more family.

8/23Who would have thought that after waiting so long for Allyson to finally start sleeping though the night I would be awake at 1am wishing I was cuddling with her. I guess its part of having a husband that works nights. Sooner than later we will have another little one that will be keeping me up all night. :)

8/23Can you prepare for loss? My grandpa has been sick for many years and has had multiple heart attacks. He has now been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer (his fault for smoking so much) Some many questions that still need answered to know his true prognoses. Lots of 30% chances and a max of 5 years. I just taking it day by day because the doctors only give us information little by little. He has surgery in the morning to find out if it is also in his left lung. 8/27The cancer in the right lung has doubled in size in the last month. He starts chemo next week. They have given him about a year to live.

8/24The house buying... we didnt qualify for the loan we applied for by 6 points. So disheartening. So many things to figure out. The biggest is where we are going next, our lease is up at the end of September and there is no way we are staying in this apartment or any apartment again. So do we find a house and waste more money paying rent. Plus that would most likely get us into another lease which would make it longer before we could buy because we would be in that contract. 8/27Ty is going to work on transferring so what ever happens with that this week will help us decide what we are doing in the next few months.

a house???

To buy or not to buy

Oh the joys of trying to get a home loan. Lots of nervous waiting. We know what we can afford, but is a bank willing to lend to us? We should hear from the lender that my cousin who will be our agent recommended tomorrow and know if we are pre-qualified for the amount we want. If so we will be going to look at this place some time mid week.

Property Photo Can you see why Ty would be in love with this place. It needs some cosmetic work but I like it. Any way I think this is post #99 I have a plan for #100 :)
