Already 7 months

I can't believe that I am seven months and in a short time Jeff and I are going to have a little one crying, pooping and peeing every so often, oh wait we do her name is Izzy. Anyways . . . I am so excited but yet I feel so behind because we don't have the little ones room set up, or even have it ready for us to put stuff in it. Jeff and I are just getting around to registering for the little one and I look at the room and tell myself I want to move stuff and organinze it but I really need Jeff and Leslie there because it is their stuff too. I think it would be rude of me just to rearrange things without them there. I want to paint the room but haven't had a chance to ask Leslie if that was ok, figuring this is her office right now and I don't want to step on toes. This is what happens when you have to work weekends and have the days during the week off. Everyone works and my mind starts to wonder. Anyway. . . enjoy the new shot of the belly and I will give you an up-date in the next blog.

Rest in Peace Dauber

Well it is a sad day for the Bazen family. Last night our dog Dauber had to go to the hospital for bleeding out of the nose really bad. The bleeding was so bad that we couldn't get it to stop and after running some test it was concluded by the family that there was a large mass in his right nostril. Unfortunately there was no other options for us in treating him and that any treatment will just make him suffer more and delay the inevitable. So last night my family and I gathered around Dauber said our goodbyes and watched him go into the never ending sleep. For a dog that was only suppose to have lived for only a few year my family had 9 wonderful years with him. My sister and our other dog Rizzo are taking this the hardest and I can only pray that God will ease their pain. For those who might not have seen the pets I will have a picture of him up soon and please just keep my family in prayer for the next couple of days.

LET THE KICKING BEGIN!

So I know that the kicking gets more intense as the months continue but I did not think that the little one would wake me up in the wee hours of the morning to say, Hello, and then keep me up through out the day. Izzy is glad because she has more time to play with me when I get up but I really do miss my sleep at that point. So I will go out and read a book or if it is rainy or windy I will listen to the noise in hopes it will sooth me back to sleep.

I am grateful though, a co-workers sister was six months pregnant and went to the doctor to find that the babies heart was not beating and that she had a miscarriage. That worries me sometimes to know even though I am past my first trimester that my baby is still fragile and I need to make sure everything is going well with it. So I give the baby permission to kick all he/she wants.

6 Months Belly

I hope no one is really expecting me to show off the belly without a shirt covering it. Yeah right. I am not against those girls who do show off the belly, that is them and not me. I figure that people can see just as much with a shirt on then without. Now as for the baby in the belly, I never thought I would feel so much movement this early. I mean the other day my mom, aunt and I were walking around the swap meet and the baby kicked so hard that it stopped me in my tracks. My mom and aunt were excited because they wanted to feel the kicks so they put their hands on the belly and the baby gave two, "Hello", kicks. Hopefully this means no more cold soda attacks from my mom.

Prayer

So this has nothing to do with the pregnancy or the baby. This is more for my friends Sara, Amy and Judy Naluai. I got a message last night the Bob Naluai (Sara and Amy's dad) was admitted to the hospital for having an irregular heart beat. I can so relate to this because my family went through the same thing a little over a year and a half ago. So please pray for Bob to get better and become a healthy, strong man and for the family to stay strong and to find support in their friends and family around them.

Merry Christmas!!

Yes , it is 4am on Christmas morning and no I am not up wrapping presents. I get the lovely task this year of working the holidays. I really don't mind because I still get to see my family and friends during the day. Anyways I just wanted to mention a funny story about my mom trying to meet the baby.
A couple of nights ago I went over to my parents house and was telling my mom how the baby was moving a lot. Well my wanted to feel but every time she would put her hand to my stomach the baby wouldn't move. So she grabs a nice COLD soda and places it on my stomach. The baby didn't move but I sure did and my mom wouldn't stop placing that COLD soda on my stomach. So the big joke for right now is mom wanting to place a soda on my belly to make the baby move. Oh the good times we share.
Well I hope you all have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year if I don't get to write to you before then.

22 weeks

I am 22 weeks, and it is funny to me in feeling the belly getting bigger. I feel the baby moving around and the baby must like the music loud because it moves more when we listen to the band at church. In the beginning of the pregnancy all I wanted was fruit, could not get enough it. Now it is sweets with fruit, not a bad combination. So we went to the doctor today and she said that my belly has grown to 22cm and the bump is there. I will have a new belly shot in a week or so and hopefully one of the ultrasounds up. Until then Jeff and I are doing fine, we are in the mitts of training Izzy in being a good dog and hopefully soon start her in some puppy training classes. Everyone have a great holiday if I don't talk to you then.
