Im sorry I disappeared...

We have had alot going on , which is why I havent been blogging lately.

Right now, we are in New York at a motel. We will finish the trip tomorrow. Stan is preaching Sunday, Wednesday and Sunday. We will be staying at a church members house. Please pray for my sanity... not sure how my boys will act at someone else's house!!! Hope I am not pulling my hair out!

I went to the dr Wednesday for the 3 hr blood sugar test.... I failed. :( Therefore I have the gestational diabetes. I have to count how many carbs I eat each meal and check my blood sugar 4 times a day. I dont know how mom did this finger sticking thing!!! :)

The boys are doing well. Alex is getting tall! He is so excited about Christmas! Aaron is saying different individual words. He is quite the little comic!

Take care everyone!

Week 24

I put the wrong week # last week. Im sorry. But on the bright side, I only have 9 more shots!!! I am so excited. They are getting harder to bear!!!
This week "Abigail has gained about 4 ounces just since last week! She is about a foot long and her body is filling out proportionally and she will soon start to plump up! Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but will start to change soon."

Stan had a phone interview on Wednesday night with a pulpit committee at a church in New York. It went well. The Lord is in control!

I had to quit working. I am having alot of sciatic problems with my back and this weight gain.

I hope all of you have had a great week!

Week 22....

" With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she is 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound, you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes! Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world."

Alex felt Abigail kick for the first time tonight! He was so funny... He said, " Baby Abi kicked mommy!"

Stan had a good trip to PA. We believe the pastor just wanted to meet Stan and get to know him.

Alex goes in the morning for his Neurology checkup. They plan to do an EEG to see if there is any underlying seizure activity. Of course, we are praying for no activity at all!

Hope all of you are having a great week!

21 weeks!!!!!

Well, the shots are going alright! I think! lol I guess I will know more in February if I make it to the end of the month with no preterm labor!
We found out today that our little baby is a girl!! We are beyond excited and still a little shocked! lol
According to the ultrasound, she weighs about 1 lb. and is very healthy! 5 fingers and 5 toes on each hand and foot and she looked beautiful on the screen! It was wonderful to see her! She is measuring right on track!!
We are planning to name her Abigail Grace Roberson... Abi Grace!
What is so funny, is since my first pregnancy in Jan 2005 (the one I miscarried) I have had little barrettes with the name Abigail on them! I have had these for 4 years and I finally get to use them! :)
Hope all of you have a great week!! I am!! :)

The halfway mark....

Well, I am 20 weeks along in this pregnancy and still doing alright! I know I am carrying the baby pretty low, there are times I feel like this baby is going to kick itself out! But this baby weighs about 101/2 oz now andis about 10 inches long (head to heel)! About the size of a banana!
We go next Tuesday to find out the gender! I am so excited!!! I dont like to drink caffeine, but will probly drink some that day!
Our trip to Tennessee went well. This church is small but has a sweet spirit! We are praying for Gods will now.

19 weeks and still going strong! ( I think) LOL

Hello everyone,
This week is interesting to me. The baby weighs 81/2 oz and measures 6 inches, head to bottom - about the size of a large heirloom tomato. The baby's hair is on the scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development. Your baby's brain is designation specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now!
I am feeling the baby kick every once in a while. I am carrying this baby lower than I did the boys!!!
We are leaving Friday for Jackson, Tennessee! Stan is candidating for pastorate there on Sunday. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and visit this church! This is a 9 hr trip for us and Aaron hates his carseat!!! :{
Have a great week everyone!

Week 18!!

" Head to rump, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and weighs almost 7 oz. He's busy flexing his arms and legs - movements taht you'll start noticing mmore and more in the weeks ahead. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you are having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, although he may hide them from you during an ultrasound."

I am sorry I am so late with this. It has been a crazy week with working! On Wednesday I had an emergency dental work. They filled 1 cavity and pulled 2 teeth and 1 wisdom tooth. I am still healing.

Stan received a phone call from a church in Jackson TN . We will be visiting on Oct 9-11th. He will be preaching both services that Sunday. He is candidating for pastorate. Please pray for us as we travel and while we are there that God will show us His will.

The baby is doing well, the boys too! Stan finally felt the baby kick for the first time the other night. Unfortunately, this baby is active at night!!! I think I may be in trouble!! LOL

The boys are being boys! They are very entertaining!!

Hope you all have a great week!
