Things are Looking UP

I had my 37 week doctors appointment today. The baby has been transverse since 34 weeks. SO they sent me for an ultrasound. Well today when I went they said that the baby has decided to move down to the head down position. I am very excited about this. I hope this little girl continues to cooperate and stays down there. I am hoping that this pregnancy continues to go well and that she will be here sooner than later. My blood pressure has been fairly low this time around and I have gained about 30 pounds. I keep telling Cory that I don't know what it feels like to be pregnant this long. I had Elizabeth at 37 weeks. I feel huge and uncomfortable. I am fine with having this child in me for a few more weeks as long as she stays where she is supposed to be.

Sneaky KId

So the other day I was in the other room and I realized it had gotten suspiciously quiet in the house. Which means only one thing.....Elizabeth has gotten into something. I went out and low and behold she had ripped off some of the fake wood paper off of the entertainment center. I looked high and low for the ripped off paper. A while later I was picking up some trash and when I went to the trash can there it was. That little sneaky kid thought she could hide it by putting it in the trash. I couldn't help but to laugh. Never a dull moment in the Anderson house hold.

Me being a Worry Wart

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.
