The Bare Family

Only 5 left!! YAY! So lets see... today is the first day that I've really ate anything besides bread and crackers since being sick on Monday and it was only some Mac.. and was at like 11 at night, lol! Thank you Dean for the second wd run of the night and bringing home 4 boxes since I was eating something else, lol!! I'm not sure how much weight I lost with being sick but I'm sure I've gained some of it back, though I'm at this point now 6 lbs below my pre-pregnancy (3 lbs less than last week! wow was I sick!!) I do believe that Peyton is or has started to drop. and OUCH! I never went through this with Zane and I'm certainly glad that I didn't! lol! Here's just a quick pic off my phone...

He was so worn out that he fell asleep on the way home WHILE he was eating, lol!!

It was certainly an interesting weekend at our house. I started having contractions Thursday night about every 3-5 min for about 2 hours and then they faded... though they would return every few hours and stay for a while. Dean stayed home since I was hurting and hadn't got much rest. Sat I was feeling better but still having contractions. Dean was doing a tile job so it was just Zane and I home. We were suppose to go to Miss Hannah's bday party but with me having contractions {though only Braxton Hicks} I thought it would be best to stay off my feet instead of making things worse or something happen while I was driving.. who knows! Dean didn't get home till late.. Zane was already in bed.. and I was pooped... Sunday we all slept in till about 10:30!! So needless to say we missed church yet again. Dean's mom watched Zane while he finished up the tile job next door and I took some time to do absolutely NOTHING, though all I thought about the whole time was cleani...

6 to go!!! YAY!! I've gained a pound since my visit last week... still puts me 2 below my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm measuring exactly 33 weeks... which is I guess kind of comforting seeing that the pic we took yesterday made me look like a whale! Everything is great! Zane actually asked to see and hold Peyton today.. that was a first! and when the dr did the heart beat I asked what that was and he quietly said "Peyton" with a huge grin on his face :) Still having the Braxton Hicks contractions. Next appt is in two weeks! Here's the pic from yesterday... 32 weeks, 6 days...

Dean decided to take half a day today to assist me with Zane at the zoo, lol! He LOVED the Dinosaurs!! and of course the rest of the animals, feeding the giraffes, riding the carousel and the train. It was def a nice day for it too, nice warm and breezy!! Oh!! and the craziest thing!! We saw pelicans trying to eat turtles!!! lol, Zane kept saying "Crazy Birds!!" Then as though that wasn't enough to wear him out he and Dean went outside when we got home to fly his kite :)

Ok... So first off.. I felt Peyton with the hiccups for the first time Wed {3-16-11} night... and so did Dean :) and can I just say... I'm SO ashamed at my lack of picture taking lately and especially this week! :/ My Aunt Judy and Uncle Glenn came in on Thursday from Virginia and I'm so upset that I didn't get a picture of them and Zane together!! We went shopping Thursday when they got here for Miss Peyton since dad and Dean were working... had lunch and then headed home. Zane had a great time running around in the yard playing while we talked and waited for everyone to get home so that we could head out for dinner. Friday didn't start off so well at our house. I had started having what I thought was Braxton Hicks contractions Thurs night and just paid no mind to them and tried to get some sleep. I woke up in lots of pain this morning plus one other complication and decided to call the dr.. in which lead to me heading to the dr. Thankfully dad was off so he spen...

something to take Peyton home in!!! lol!! I went and got Miss Peyton's car seat today courtesy of Grandpa and my 20% off coupon :) Here's Zane breaking it in for her, lol!

This weekend consisted of LOTS of home improvement! Friday Dean was gone most of the day for jury duty and then spent pretty much the rest of the day playing with Zane... with the exception of laying the subfloor in the bathroom and building the shelving for the hall closet. Saturday... LOTS of tile work today... Dean got the floor layed and the shower pulled apart. I painted a little on Peyton's walls to bring some color to one side of her room... can't wait to get everything and finish it all up, lol! We ended up being one tile short for the floor and needed to run in and ended up doing dinner with my dad and Mrs Bennett at Texas Roadhouse... and boy was it good! I ate WAY too much! After dinner we headed to home depot to get the tile we needed and ended up leaving with paint for outside too, lol! Sunday... we had such a late night that Zane and I ended up sleeping in and we ended up missing church {not to mention we forgot about turning our clocks ahead! oops!} Dean tiled...

31 weeks!!! Woo hoo!! 8 weeks to go... EXACTLY! I found out today that Miss Peyton will be making her arrival a little after 7:30am on May 5! :) I'm one happy momma right now! The whole sugar deal is behind me... problem solved with the dr... I'm still 6 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight and just can't wait for these 8 weeks to fly by! We have the bathroom project to do this weekend, along with a little more painting going on in Peyton's room and shelves in the hall closet. Then family visiting next week, followed by Miss Hannah's first bday party and a session of a friends little one the next weekend. My maternity pics and shower... then two bday parties two weekends in a row, Easter then Miss Peyton! I think the 8 weeks should go pretty fast, lol, how about you!?!?! Oh... and this is my desert for tonight since I no longer have to stress over my sugar! {and no.. I didn't eat all of it.. Dean and Zane helped! lol!}

Today was def a lazy day... no chores, no nothing.. including cooking lunch or dinner! lol! Just hung out and played with little man ALL day!!! :) These are the days I know I'll miss when Peyton gets here... I don't have to share time now...

Went to the dr this afternoon and got little man's stitches out!! His eye is looking REALLY good!! His chin is def still on the healing side though :/ Dr said he would have just butterflied that one together too, so that made me feel a little better. I'm so thankful that Aunt Kim was there to hold him because just from the screaming and crying I heard out of the room I was about to loose it, poor little guy! After torchering him we took him to go see Gnomeo and Juliet. SUPER cute movie though Zane fell asleep before it ended, lol!

Today we made plans to go see Rango with Aunt Kim, Granny, Aunt Deanna, Uncle Lane and Hannah while daddy stayed home and got started on the bathroom floor. It was a cute movie, from what we saw anyways, we ended up leaving because of a restless little boy in need of a nap who wanted to just run around and play musical chairs, lol! Here he is eating twizzlers waiting for the movie to start....

Well along with tax returns of course comes time for those home improvement projects :) This morning we started off by getting our new washer and dryer!! umm.. YAY!!! lol.. they're SO quiet that we keep checking to see if they're running, ha! Then after getting them unloaded we dropped Zane off with Aunt Kim and headed to Harbor Freight for boat stuff, floor and decor for shower tile and then home depot for our floor tile. Now for it all to get done! lol! When we got back to Aunt Kim's they were outside running up and down the hill in the back... this is after chasing airplanes, playing soccer and drawing on the side walk. Needless to say he didn't want to come home with us and actually asked if he could stay with Aunt Kim :) He's so sweet! Here's a pic of Zane talking to Aunt Kim on our way to drop him off....

I was 30 weeks yesterday {3-3-11)... but had my appt today.. and boy was it a doozie! I just need a little break please! First I had an ultrasound of Miss Peyton... found out I no longer have a low lying placenta {which is what we were hoping for} and that she's already head down... not like her brother who stayed breech! lol! She's got LOTS of hair and they're estimating she's about 4 lbs. Then off to see the dr. Found out I once again failed the one hour sugar test :( NOT HAPPY! I did all the research to figure out a diabetic diet.. followed it and failed worse this time {163} than I did the first time {153} when I was eating TONS of sugar!! Talk about frustrating! So then I was like ok... on to the agreement we made that I would just stick myself at home and test my sugar along with the diet they gave me. Well apparently my dr forgot about that whole conversation and agreement which in turn made me even more upset. She started pushing the 3 hour test again an...

Woo Hoo!! Today Zane and I went out and did some clothes shopping for him and his sister :) I was def hurting after walking around the Avenues mall but it was certainly nice to be out of the house! And I used coupons for every where I bought stuff!! Yay me!! Oh.. and super funny... while in Dilliards checking out some shirts and shorts for Dean there was this pic of Kelly Slater... well Zane just starts yelling and repeating... "there's daddy!!!!!" I could have just died laughing :) Love that boy! I think I may have wore him out today too! Or maybe it's just been the events of the last couple of days, lol!

What a week we've had! Goodness!!! So let's see... Tues (2-22)... I started to have some anxiety about my blood drawl the following morning so I decided to take one of the pills the dr gave me... after all.. that's what they were for! I have NOTHING but night terrors ALL night about needles :/ Needless to say I didn't go the next morning for my sugar test! Wed (2-23)... We already had made plans with Aunt Kim and Grandma to do lunch after my sugar test... so after sleeping in a bit we got up and got ready to go eat some yummy Cracker Barrel.. though this momma just had a salad since I still had to do my sugar test! We then went and played at Grandma's a little bit before heading home :) Thurs (2-24)... I decided to suck it up and just do my sugar test this morning with Zane in tow. I took another anxiety pill about 20 min before we got there. I was actually doing great until about 20 min before my stick time and then panic set in :/ Got through the stick...
