We've had a heck of a time picking out a name for this little girl.
(Okay okay....I have had a heck of a time. I keep changing my mind and driving Launi insane.)
But...she's now officially been named. :)
Care to take a guess at what we picked?

33 Weeks and Counting....
33 weeks........HOLY!!!
We're in the home stretch now people!!
(And Im terrified..)
Its been a very busy couple of weeks with company, Lijie, more company, traveling out of town, and on and on and on.
It seems that I am taking a nap DAILY now.
Launi has been off work for awhile and thank god. He has been such a huge help.
He'll go back to work soon and Im dreading it.
I get tired SO easily. Its pathetic. I am looking forward to having my body "back" and for my routine and abilites to return to "normal".
(If that will ever happen with 2 kids. Some days I feel so unprepared..)
Anyway..not much new to report on the pregnancy front.
I have been going to the Doc every 2 weeks now. And things with the beebee have been very good. I go today for my GD test. (Very very late in the game. BUT..better late than never..) And then later tonite Launi and I go to the better beginnings at the hospital. Its mostly just a tour and paperwork to pre-register. We did it with Lijie to, but the nurse said that alot has changed so its worth going to.
I have another Dr's appt this week as well. I have to have a group b strep test done again. I was positive with Lijie, so I have a feeling I will be with this one to.
I also have another ultrasound in about 2-3 weeks as well to check everything out.
I have to get everything at home organized to.
I have all the "stuff" it just needs to be put away, etc.
All her clothes have to be washed, Launi needs to build her dresser...we have some furniture to shuffle and move around.
Its getting so close...and Im getting so..NERVOUS!
Okay so here is a belly shot, taken yesterday.
(Notice the one lovely squiggley stretch mark. Bastardly thing...)
Yep indeedy. She's in there. Im Huge. I want her out.

30 weeks!
Okay so...
I had another prenatal today!
I am darn near almost 30 weeks!!
Bloodpressure was perfect.
Im measuring right on target.
Heartbeat was greeeeat!
I was weighed again and thus far I have only gained 10lbs for the entire pregnancy.
He brought up thee subject of pain management during labor.
He said he wanted me to know that he would have absolutely no problem ordering me up an epidural anytime that I wanted it.
When I told him about Lijies labor and delivery he said...
"You did it natural? WHY?"
When he found out I had pushed for 3.5 hours without any pain meds he said.."Well thats just ridiculous!!!"
(I laughed at him.)
He said.."Look it...seriously...(in his lovely african accent that I OH SO LOVE!!!) I don't give out medals for women who suffer through pain. I really recommend the epidural...ok?"
Launi was with me and he says..."OOH she's having the epidural this time. Even though she did really well (thank you bunches..) I thought that natural stuff was crap!!"
So...it looks like Im going to have thee epidural.
Everything else has been fairly "normal". I can't sleep at night and its driving me insane. If I happen to fall asleep before 4:00am , then I doze in 20 min cycles and Im up usually 6+ times a night to pee. *UGD*
Im getting rather huge. Though Im deffinately not as big this time..as I was with Lijie. Everything is getting squished though...and I can feel that. My stomach is always eiher up or down. Im hungry to the point of starvation...or Im slightly nauseaous, uncomfortable, and full of heartburn or Gas. So attractive.....
I feel like Ive completley run out of room for this baby and there is still 10 weeks left.
I go for another ultrasound in 5 weeks. :)
