So I can still paint my toe nails, that is a plus, although it is getting alittle harder and just because they look good from my view doesn't mean that I did a good job!! LOL I am just glad no one looks at them up close! That is my accomplishment for the week I guess, pretty pathetic huh!
All looks well with little Scooter (LOL), I had my appointment lastnight after work. HB is 150 and she said everything is progressing really good, I go back in another 2 weeks, then I will start my weekly appointments. She did give me instructions and the number to the hospital if I were to go into labor now, plus she told me she wouldn't stop it if it were to happen. That is kind of scary! I know I won't go early, but it is just the point!
Accoridng to BBC the baby is approx. 4 3/4 lb and almost 18" long, isnt that wierd? I can totally feel it too, like I said before this kid is nuts inside and I think for the most part he is pretty much sprawled out and/or likes to stretch! One night he was really moving around, so I decided to play tag with him, he would jab me so I jabbed him back and then he would and so forth, it was funny, already alittle stinker!
So we made alittle progress on gearing up for this baby, we got the treadmill that was in our room moved back downstairs, thanks to our neighbors moving it for us! Yup that is our progress! LOL I plan to do some of it myself while Rodney is in Sturgis, in hopes I can find a dresser to match Brady's room, I can get his dresser moved in our room for the babies clothes, then I can wash all of our finds that we got from garage sales. We are not having much luck on the stroller/carseat travel system though. I was told Graco was a good one and every Graco at Target or Walmart was so something I didn't like. I do not want Winnie the Pooh or blue print or swirls, ect... I just want something plain for this little guy is that too much to ask for? I will have to check and see what Red Wing has I guess, Hastings didn't appeal to me at all! I am not worried though!
Weird how laid back both Rodney and I are about the arrival of this little guy, I am usually a planner and like to have everything ready and in tip top shape, but this time around I am the total opposite! LOL
Well I have babbled enough, until next time.....

Baseball
This ends another year of baseball, you know the first day of school is close by when baseball ends! LOL They kids have really progressed since they started 3 years go, it is fun to watch them, when Brady lets me that is!
Weekend at Rodneys parents in Wisconsin
We decided to take a stroll to Rodneys parents in Wisconsin. The boys always love going there and it is nice to get away! They decided to try fishing out, but I don't think they caught anything. We did get to take a nice stroll on the pontoon though.
Swimming Lessons
So this was Brady's first year of swimming lessons and he loved it! We decided to try the private lessons this year and Bailey liked that alot more than the group lessons, so I think it will be private lessons from now on. Both boys did an awesome job and loved thier teachers and we couldn't of asked for a better week!

Poll
I have made up a poll for naming this baby! We obviously didn't plan on naming our children with names that started with "B" it just happened that way. Rodney is the one who named them both, so I blame him for this confusion I am going through! Some have told me that if we don't name this baby with a name that starts with a "B" he will feel left out.... not sure if that holds true or not. What do you think?
Week 33
I had a dream lastnight that the baby was born and he was just adorable (which I am sure he will be anyways), he was so tiny and soft, his hair was the same brownish color as Bailey's hair was when he was born and his diapers were so tiny....... reality check!!! YIKES! At least it was a good dream and not something happening to him. I continue to pray this little guy is healthy, happy and NOTHING like Brady! LOL
I have been feeling ok for the most part, my skin really itches though, first it was my legs now it is my arms and the tops of my hands, who knows if that has anything to do with the pregnancy, I just thought I would whine and you all don't have a choice but to listen because you are reading this! LOL At least I know you all will listen to me, seeing how my boys never do, meaning all 3 of them!!!
So someday soon we should probably pick out a name, get the crib out of storage, re-arrange our bedroom, wash the baby clothes we picked up from garage sales, shop for a car seat, stoller, bottles and all that other fun stuff.... someday!! LOL We have made one purchase and that was a baby monitor, Rodney thought that was really important to have! I honestly have no motivation to do any of this, I don't think Rodney does either. Getting our room ready will have to wait until Rodney gets back from Sturgis, I don't have the muscles to move the treadmill downstairs by myself, what's another couple weeks, right!?!!
Alot of you wonder where I get the time to write on here, I can't tell you!! Let's just say if I didn't have a full time job I would not beable to find the time to update this every week like I do! I have to pat myself on the back for updating like I have been, I didn't think it was going to be possible. Should be interesting on how often I update when I am at home with the baby..... time shall tell!
Until next week........

Week 32
Pluggin' away I guess! I do have to admidt I am so tired of being pregnant, I am back to feeling sick again and it gets really bad at night, which sucks. I have to either push myself to get up and at'em or try to explain to the boys that mom doesn't feel good and I have to lie down, which does't fly with them, I just want to feel good that isn't much to ask for is it?!
I went last Thursday to my appointment and got sent home because my doctor had to go to United and deliever a baby, not her fault but I wasn't happy. I did go back on Friday for my appointment. All is well, HB is 156 and I gained a few pounds but I really dont care at this point, I will just have to work extra hard afterwards. She did check me again because she asked if I was having any contractions, which I do usually late at night, but nothing consistent. Still closed up tight, good for the baby but hard on his mom!! I dont' go back until the 29th.
Maybe this little guy is just giving me a hard time while baking and he is going to be an angel when he comes out..... a mom can only hope right!
I will just continue to keep plugging away.............. until next time!

Well I am still alive at this point in the game, that is a good thing. Sure wish my boys would pamper me though, I mean really, I give them non stop attention you think they could return the favor. It must be a boy thing and I assure you that after this kid is born I am so getting an all day spa for myself!!

Most of you know that being preggo really does a number on your self esteem, it does mine anyways, and it is nice to hear that you look good, big belly and all!! But you know now that I think about it, most everyone who told me that was drinking......hmmmmmmm, oh well I will take it!! LOL Luv ya girls anyways!

Weekend pictures
We took the boys to the fair Saturday night and let'em go for 4 hours! They had a blast and even won a few prizes playing the games.
Brady passed out Saturday morning, we didnt get to bed until 2 on the 4th, and he slept in until 11:30!!
At the parade
Trying to figure out how to eat this hotdog without spilling on his new derby shirt...
At the derby with his favorite Aunt...
Since Rodney was off of work, he brought Bailey to the pedal tractor pull on Thursday at the fair. He got 3rd place and willingly admits to being beat out by 2 girls! LOL
Fireworks at grandpas house, he has the best fireworks and I think we lit them off for 3 hours!

Week 30
What do I even write about week 30, nothing is really new. I am starting to get uncomfortable, not miserable just alittle uncomfortable. Although I keep telling myself that I am fine and just to keep plugging away, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I don't push myself like I normally would, must be because I am getting older, which is what everyone tells me!!
Anyway we are kind of freaking out alittle as the date draws closer, this little guy still doesn't have a name. I take that back, the boys call him Scooter and insist we call him that.... Scooter Braatz, I DON"T THINK SO!! But I am beginning to think that is what his name is going to be if we don't figure something out! So what do we name him, good question! Rodney thinks his middle name should be Stanley, which is my dads name and a great idea, but we need to figure out a first name before we can pick a middle name. I am going to be honest, this name game would be so much easier if this was a girl!! I had a few names picked out and actually have for the past 9 years!! Any suggestions, ideas would be helpful and we are open to anything! Feel free to post suggestions here, email me, call me whatever, this name game is hard and making me crazy!!
Alright so I have babbled enough! My next appointment is next Thursday so I will update then. I still can't wait to sleep on my belly, 10 weeks and counting!!!! LOL
