Blessings

A few days before my date to be induced my Dr ordered a 38 week ultrasound to see how big the baby was. well... the ultrasound said my baby was measuring way bigger at 9.3. she called me later that day and talked to me about how the ultrasound size can be off a pound or so so close to the end of the pregnancy. so he could be closer to 7 pounds or 10! she urged me to do a c section because I am small aND I really struggled with aspen when she was born bigger. I was very nervous because I didn't want the recovery with 2 kids home on christmas break. she said I had a day or so to decide. I am a firm believe in intuition. I like to wait and pray and listen to know what to do.  I didn't have a firm feeling on either way.  I asked for a blessing.  so colbys dad came over and helped Colby.  it was nice.  Colby blessed I'd know best aND the dr would know best and it would go smoothly.  it was kinda late like 10pm aND Colby went to bed.  as I've stated before I can't sleep.  I stayed up, cleaned a little, watched tv abd played on my phone . I went to lay down at 245am tired... then my water broke .  haha I got my answer! my water has never broke before.  my labor has never progressed before.  I was barely dilated for weeks.  I got my blessing answer in the most straight forward way possible ! ♡

3rd trimester

So I'm about 31 weeks right now.  I had a long 3d ultra sound last week.  They wanted to check heart patterns since the baby was so stubborn the lastfew times. He's so big.  When I first saw the screen i stated he looked chunky. But as the tech measured you it was showing your size between 33 to 31 weeks and I was 29 weeks with myou new due date! 27 if you go by my old number.  So crazy! Almost 4 lbs! And I still have almost 2 months to go. Ahhh. I've gained only 22 lbs. I don't have any real cravings but I do enjoy chomping on ice as always.  Don't worry I've had testsome. I'm not anemic.

3d ultra sound

Due

Measuring big! Ultrasound show's his due date should be 12/8 instead of 12/21 that the dr estimated!!

Social media

This is how we shared our news with family and friends on Facebook.

Baby boy!!!!

About 2 weeks ago Colby took off work early to see aspen go to her first day of Kindergarten and then go to our ultrasound! We found out the placenta is in front so it makes it harder to hear heart beats and feel kicks. Then we found out you're a boy!!!! Colby literally jumped for joy!!!

 we haven't decided on a name but colby has one he thinks he can convince me to love. 

Formula

I'm jumping for joy and so happy I can't sit still. My babies usually end up formula fed. But it's expensive. Many people use a government base program called wic to get free and reduced price formula. But it is income based and we don't qualify nor do we try to use government programs. Anyway I follow lots of coupon blogs. I saw this one for generic Similac formula on sale at walgreens. It was almost a week ago..so I figured I was out of luck. I went 3 places and found a bunch!!!!! Normal price 359.00. I paid a total of 23.00!!!!! Twenty three dollats!!
