So today is the day for the Supermoon to occur and strange things are suppose to happen. I can tell you what strange things have not happened and that is birthing my baby on the full moon. She just won't come out! According to science, March 19, 2011 is suppose to be biggest full moon in 2 whole decades and also the closest moon to the Earth. It was beautiful, that's for sure but it didn't make Brayleigh come out any quicker. Needless to say, she's still in my tummy and I'm still pregnant! Haha :)
Brandon and I went to breakfast this morning and I absolutely love that small quality time with him. He works the craziest hours so I don't get to see him as much as I use to and I miss him all the time. We went to eat at Lovick's and it's been a while since I've had a breakfast that didn't consist of a biscuit combo with a Dr. Pepper! I ordered 2 pieces of french toast and country ham, along with a side of grits. I think Bray wanted the grits...I could have done without the way I felt when I walked out of there. We then ran a few errands in town and came on back to good ol' Deep Run afterwards. Most of our day consisted of being lazy and we actually took an afternoon nap together while attempting to watch a movie we found on Netflix. I couldn't tell you what the movie was about or what it was even called for that matter. Brandon was craving Mexican for supper and I didn't have ONE problem with it. It had been a while since I had Mexican food as well so yesterday was full of yummy surprises! OH while I'm thinking about it, I attempted to make peach cobbler and the keyword to that sentence is attempted. I have no idea what happened but it was not peach cobbler when it came out of the oven. Brandon tasted it and you should have seen the look on his face. All I could do was laugh and I do not know what happened to it. It was disgusting, that's all I know. I have made it before and used a different recipe, so maybe I need to go and find that recipe instead of the one I used!

Hey Due Date, Bye Due Date.
Today is our due date! Wow, it's absolutely unreal to think that we've made it this far and that 9 months have came and gone. It's even more unreal to think that I will be a mother in just a matter of days. I am so thankful to have been blessed with such a healthy pregnancy so far, I hope that this stays the same through labor and delivery. I cannot wait to get my hands on her and see her for the first time. I have heard that it's an undescribable feeling and the thought of it gives me chill bumps. I can honestly say that I am ready to have contractions and I am ready to go into labor. I am pretty positive that once it happens, I will be begging to take what I just said back. I have felt better this week though than I have in a while. Why, Im not sure but Im loving it and can continue this pregnancy as long as I am feeling good.
Everyone is telling me the dates they think she will come....I think it's going to be March 25. I just have a weird feeling that it will be towards the end of next week. Normally my feelings are completely wrong but that's the feeling Im having right now. Alot of people are going with April 1. That is almost 2 whole weeks away and crazy to think of being pregnant that much longer. My mom is so ready to see her granddaughter, actually I think she is more ready than I am. Nah, just kidding but its close to it.
I did forget to blog about this but I am an Aunt again as of march 10, 2011. My brother and his wife had their baby boy and his name is Ian Maddox Cromer. He is adorable and I will post a picture of him too. I cannot wait to get to meet him and for Brayleigh and Ian to meet as well :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Well, as you all can see...I have been the WORST blogger ever. It's been a while since I've even logged into my blog so you'll have a lot to read today and I promise, I'll get better at it.
Today is St. Patrick's Day...Yes, I'm part Irish so I enjoy this day alot and the funniest part, I didn't even wear green. When I got to work, I had to print out a shamrock and I colored it in with green...that way NO ONE can pinch me!! I sure wished my baby would have come out by now because we bought her an adorable "My First St. Patty's Day" outfit. Hopefully she'll be here before Easter since her due date is tomorrow!
I will update everyone on my pregnancy and Brayleigh. Our due date is tomorrow (March 18) according to all of our ultrasounds and my last period but the Dr has a due date of March 23 and that was from our very first ultrasound we ever had done. Some doctors go by that, some go by her measurements. I guess she will come out when she is good and ready to! I haven't had her weight checked in over a month now, I am sure she's not a small baby by any means which is scary to think I have to push that out. ;) She's worth it though! We go back to the Dr next Wednesday for another check-up if she hasn't arrived yet. Im feeling rather miserable to be honest. The thought of her going another week makes me want to cry! We've had a pretty good pregnancy for the most part with some minor issues. The funny part about all of this is that the doctor just knew we wouldn't be able to carry Brayleigh to full term because of my cervix already being dilated at 34 weeks. She got 2 steroid shots to boost her lung development and needless to say, she is still just as snug as a bug in a rug. I've also had some tachycardia and some pre-eclampsia scares but tests are showing normal results so that's a plus as well. Hopefully everything will turn out great in the end and everyone will be healthy and I'll have a safe labor and delivery.

Week 31
Every Friday, the number of weeks lessen. As of 1/19/2010, I am on week 31 which means I have 9 weeks to go until my baby is expected to enter this world. 9 little weeks........the emotions I am feeling at this time are unbelievable. I am so excited, I am so scared, I am nervous and anxious too! Being a mom will be the biggest and most important job I've ever had along with being the hardest, but I have never been more ready to take on this task. I had an ultrasound done yesterday, and she weighed 4lbs and 5 oz and she's still measuring a week ahead of me. When I see her on the screen, I just want to grab her off of there and kiss those precious chubby cheeks she already has. Brandon is very excited as well! He loves to feel her move around and all he can manage to talk about is her arriving into the world. We are going to take a Lamaze Class on February 19, 2011. That should be interesting, haha. I will definately post back and let you know how that one goes!!
Week 30
Time has flown since the day I found out I was pregnant! I can hardly believe that I am 30 weeks pregnant and only have 10 weeks to go. When I look at my stomach, I am amazed because an actual human being is developing inside. She has been so active and such a joy to feel move around and I think that is what I am going to miss the most once she's here. Ofcourse though, I will be even more excited because I can actually hold her once she's here. At 30 weeks, she weighed 3.3 lbs and measured a week ahead of me. I could deliver a big baby girl which scares the crap out of me, but as long as she's healthy, Im okay with it!3D/4D Ultrasound Pictures
We decided to pay the extra fee to have the 3D/4D pictures made of our baby girl. It was such a wonderful experience and it is AMAZING what technology can do these days! Here are some of the pictures that were taken:
Week 29 Appt
On Dec. 29th, 2010..we had our 29 week check-up along with the Glucose Test. YUCK! I heard many horror stories and prayed that I passed the test so I wouldn't have to come back for the 3-hour test they give you if it comes back positive. Today they let you take the drink home and drink it before you come to the appt. With our 45 minute ride, I had plenty of time to drink it. You have to drink it 30-45 minutes before your scheduled appt and you get 5 minutes to drink the drink. I definately suggest to use a straw! I chose the Lemon-Lime flavored drink and it was actually rather tasty. I never felt bad after I drank it like I heard some people do, it just gave me a slight headache because I was so hungry. I got my blood drawn shortly after and the test came back negative so that meant we didn't have to come back! YAY!! :)
