Now What??


Well Granny E left us this morning. Thank goodness she had a safe trip and made it home safely! But now what? We went to Annapolis yesterday and were given great news...my placenta has moved therefore I can have a normal birth and no more bed rest...taking it easy but I can go back to my normal life...I just cant remember exactly what that is....I think I had gotten use to Granny E being here and I woke up this morning thinking I was going to do all of these things I used to do before all of my pregnancy issues...but I had nothing to do, which was a good thing so I got to rest for most of the day pretty easily knowing everything was taken care of (for now at least, until the kids and Cameron get home). I had not had a good nights sleep in a very long time but knowing my pregnancy issues are clearing up and the world did not fall apart by letting someone else take over, I was able to have a big sigh of relief and a wonderful afternoon nap! Annapolis Dr. also said I was probably about 2 weeks further than what we thought and Lane looks very healthy at right around 6lbs!!

Pumpkin Patch















Today was a beautiful fall day so Granny E took the kids to Mr. Peppers Pumpkin Patch. They all picked pumpkins and went through the corn maze! Here are a few pictures from their pumpkin adventure. As for me....I am still horizontal...waiting for my own pumpkin!

Our Everyday Life!

I do not know if my body is going to let me go a full 40 weeks. It looks as if I am already at 52 weeks!! Luckily (keeping my fingers crossed) I have not had any more hospital episodes for almost 2 weeks! I have started to feel somewhat normal lately. I have been getting up for about an hour a day just to feel like I'm alive.















We also went to see Miss Julie's new baby, Mason. What a beautiful child and how quiet he is and of course Ms. Liza looks like she's protecting her baby! We love getting in all the baby practice we can!! Bring on the babies!!




















And then of course there is Mater, he is just waiting for everything to be over with and someone to notice him!!!

Family Photo Shoot


We just wanted to share some pictures of the prego family. Enjoy. We had a good time doing these and making our memories of our family and expecting Lane.

We want to thank E (who is getting in her baby practice here with our friends baby Lynleigh) for being in Maryland since the beginning of September to take care of us. She has done the cooking, the cleaning, running the kids EVERYWHERE and even doing projects around the house to get ready for Lane. Without her, we would be in total chaos with me not being able to get up and do anything and Cameron working and going to school. She is giving us some normalcy in our lives. We should also thank Poppy J for letting us have her for so long. Hopefully, he is wearing clean clothes eventhough she isn't there to take care of him LOL. We are planning to let her come home the first of November for a little while, but Arkansas has to give her back when Lane is born. Enjoy her while she is there! If given the chance I could not have picked a better set of inlaws, we are very lucky to have them!

These goofballs are keeping me sane through all of this bed rest. I have never had 3 people make me laugh so hard. I am very blessed to have them. They have had their world turned upside down the past few months due to my hospital episodes and they have managed to come together and keep our family going. I am very proud of all of them.


Collin was the Star Student the first week of school!!
