Once again I am up at 2 AM stressing!!!! I know it is completely out of my control but I am nervous that this kid in my belly will not turn. I went to the hospital the other day due to not feeling any movement all day and everything was fine. I was informed that the baby was lying transverse though. They said they can do a version (trying to manually move the baby by external manipulation On your stomach). But I have heard that it is really painful. Plus there is only a 58 percent chance that it would work. If it doesn't work or my midwife decides I am not a good candidate then I would have to have a C-Section. This scares me beyond belief. It isn't that am that scared of the C- Section itself rather I am worried about trying to heal afterwords. We live on the 3rd floor and I can't even imagine climbing up the 3 flights of stairs. Then I am concerned that I will have to take care of this new baby and Elizabeth by myself. Elizabeth still requires me to carry her around and hold her a lot. Ahhhhhh.....It just stresses me out. Anyways, I just have to hope that this baby will turn on it's own. It would make me very very happy and relieve a bunch of stress.

Elizabeth Is Three!
I can't believe my little girl is three. She is no longer a baby. She is a big girl. Elizabeth cleaned up on gifts this year. She is one spoiled kid. Her favorite gifts so far is her tent,new baby doll and baby accessories (pack and play,baby carrier,bouncy seat). I hope she will enjoy the toys at least for a few days. Next year we will probably have a big party but we just had strawberry cake and ice cream as a family this year.
I am glad that we have such a sweet little girl in our family.

Easter Weekend
Lame me forgot to bring my camera to Houston this weekend for Easter. So I will have to just tell ya'll about it.
We headed down to Houston Thursday night so that we could be at the hospital at 6AM for Elizabeth's MRI on Friday morning. Poor Elizabeth had to be sedated for it so we had to be there an hour and a half early. The MRI went fine. Elizabeth was beside herself when she woke up from anesthesia . I felt bad for her. The rest of the day we just took it easy. On Sunday we watched conference at my parents house and got to hang out with Richard and Maria. We also had a mini Easter egg hunt for Elizabeth. She really didn't get the concept of finding an egg and putting it in the basket. It was still fun to watch though.
On Monday I hung out with my sister and her kids. It is always fun to hang out and catch up.
On Tuesday we went to the eye doctor to have Elizabeth's eye looked at. Her right eye has been doing this weird rolling up thing. It has gotten really bad in a months time. The doctor wants Elizabeth to have surgery on it. I figured we would do the surgery in 2 weeks so that we can recover and everything before the new baby comes in June. We also got the MRI results back. She is clear of growths on her optic nerves and brain (children with Neurofibromatosis 1 can sometime develop growths anywhere on their bodies). So that is a sigh of relief. The MRI did show that she has a cyst in her brain. Some people have cysts in their brains and it is no big deal. But this cyst is larger than normal so we are going to hopefully have a consult with a Neurosurgeon.
I am so ready to be over all of these issues with Elizabeth. She was officially diagnosed a few weeks ago with a sensory disorder and I had come to grips with that but now with the surgery and everything else. It is a lot for a child to go through.
Anyways I will keep everyone posted on the outcome.

I was Deceived
Cory is on my hit list.

Tonight we were invited to one of our friends houses for dinner. I asked Cory if he knew what was for dinner before hand. He told me roast and potatoes. It is not my favorite meal but I will still eat it. So we get there and start to eat. As I am eating, the husband asks me if I liked it. I was like "sure". Cory kept laughing and smiling. Finally I was like this is pretty good roast. Our friend said "what, this isn't roast". I was like then what is it. Then he said it was deer meat. I am very disgruntled. Cory knew the whole time and had even told our friends not to tell me. I have never had deer meat before. It wasn't as bad as I thought but I was tricked. I can't believe he would do that to the mother of his children. He better watch his back.

Crazy Rants of a Pregnant Woman
Okay seriously....I am soooo ready to move out of this apartment complex. I walk up the stairs (all three flights) today to find a mangie nasty stray cat that has been pooping and peeing all over the place eating my neighbors trash. I might add he is missing half his tail and looks diseased. There are two problems with this. One being that I really don't like smelling cat pee as I am walking up the stairs. The second being that I really don't like having to look at trash strung all over the place. The other day I walked out my door to find a chicken bone on my rug.I called the complex to complain yet again and they act like it is my problem. I guess it wouldn't bother me as much if I were blind or closed my eyes every time I walked out my front door. Ughhhhhhhh......I feel like I am the only one who takes pride in a clean area.
Anyways, that is all for today.
Anyways, that is all for today.

We have A Really Mischievous Kid On Our Hands
I thought the world had come to an end when I got in the car tonight from Enrichment Night and checked my phone and had 8 new voice messages. The first message was from my next door neighbor (who I have never ever spoken to before). Stating that my husband was trying to get a hold of me. Then after almost having a heart attack I checked the next message and it was from Cory. He basically said that Elizabeth had locked him out of the house and that he was stuck on our back balcony (which is one the third floor). So I called Cory and he and Elizabeth were luckily okay. Cory said he was outside for 45 minutes and Elizabeth was inside alone. She would run up to the door laugh,check to make sure the door was still locked and run away. She also took her diaper off. Cory said that they had to call maintenance and maintenance tried to unlock the front door but the dead-bolt was locked. They threw the keys to Cory and luckily the keys are able to unlock the back balcony doors (I learn something new everyday). So Cory was able to get back into the apartment. I swear.......This kid can figure out things that normal children would never think to do. I am just lucky that no one was hurt or the house didn't get burned down.
