37 weeks

Well I just finished typing up a post about these pictures and it was all erased. GRRR I do not feel like typing the whole thing, nor do I remember it all.
But This is me at 37 weeks. And the picture of me in the chair is where I spend 90% of my time. I am soo sick of that chair. Its funny it was a gift to my mom and dad a few Christmas's ago. But all I do is go from chair to chair to couch to bed. I read and read and type, watch some TV , sit here, do not much. Its getting really old. And its soo uncomfortable sitting here all the time.
I really want to thank everyone for the cards, care packages and just visits. Its been very nice and really helped lift my spirits.
Only a few days left, I just pray that I will be ok after my baby is born. I want to be out of pain and walking again. And I want a healthy baby boy...

Battle Of the Bones-Ashland Oregon 2007

This last weekend my Brother-in-law Jacob was in a BBQ competition. It was out at Emigrant lake here in Ashland. There were about 10 contestants in the contest. You would pay to get in and get a ticket to to vote. You go around to all the booths and try all the different meat. On Saturday was all chicken and Sunday was beef ribs and brisquet. The beef was donated by Kobe beef, which if you do not know its the best meat you can eat.
Jadyn and Kasha helped served the meet all weekend. They were great helpers. Everyone had a great time. and oh my gosh the meat was sooo good.
Well to make a long story short. Jacob won first place for chicken and second for his beef. It was very exciting. He is now being offered to do more competitions and they won a pretty decent prize.
Congrats to Skelton Crew, Jacobs team...

My entertainment

Ginger in her pink dress!!!

Jadyn, our little angel.....
Well luckily I am easily entertained, because right now there is not much that I can do. So I look forward to my niece Jadyn coming over, because I can watch her for hours. And when they come over they usually bring their little dog Ginger over and she is soo cute and soo funny. And for some reason Zac loves to run around and play with her. He has never been much of a dog dog, he is more of a people person.
They really make me laugh, and it does make me feel better when I can laugh that much.
Yesterday my mom and I went to Jadyn's last day of camp and they had a big carnival party. It was lots of fun. There was a dunk tank, cake walk, face painting, nail painting, pizza, pools, all sorts of fun stuff. We went and hung out with Jadyn for a few hours. It was really nice to get out and fun to watch her. So I am being entertained as much as I can and its nice...

Hump Day

Hump day does not really have much of a meaning when you do not work. Today was pretty good but is ending up to be not soo good. Last night was pretty bad as well.
Last night i was in pain all night and it would just not go away. I was also super hot and could not get comfortable. I can not even turn myself over without the help of someone or something. And getting up to turn a fan on is out of the question. i will save all my getting up for when i have to use the restroom. which is 3 times a night.
Today i had my first doctors apt with my new doc down here. I have known her for a while, she is super nice. My sister has worked for her for about 7 years. She treats me like family, so i feel very comfortable in her care.
She thinks all my pain is caused by my not soo little baby that i am growning. And that it will all go away when i have him. That was nice to hear because at this point i feel like i will be in pain and not be able to walk ever again. Everything is fine for the baby, i was glad about that. I just wish that I had some relief. Nothing helps:(:( But i must say being in the care of my parents does help. By the way I added some pics of their house, that is where i will be for the next few weeks. They have a very nice back yard, but i can not get to it.
Well the doc said i will be induced August30Th and hopefully have my baby the next day. We will see what happens. That is only 15 days away. Short considering how long i have been pregnant, long consider i can not walk and i am in pain.
I have my little dog Zac here with me and he has been great. He has been soo worried and concerned about me. He does not understand why my legs turned into wheels and why everyone is always around helping me out. And when i am alone with no help he looks around to see where anyone is, to help me. He is really worried. I wish i could explain. Although he is in for a big surprise when i have my baby.

35 1/2 weeks and counting

Well i am sure all of you know i am pregnant and am actually almost there. But not There enough. For the most part things have been going well. Up until 7/10/07 to be exact. I started to get pain in my legs and was not really able to do much. And no one really knew why. I went to my doctor, they sent me to Physical Therapy, and that did not help much. I went to a chirpractor and he told me i have herniated disc that got worse with pregnancy. So things got worse and worse each day. i was first using a walker to get around and then i was not able to even get up and walk at all anymore. So my work got me a wheelchair and that helped a lot. But when i was at home alone i was helpless, then i got to the point where i could not even make it upstairs to take a shower. My family down in Ashland called and told me to come down there and they can help me. So Dave and I decided that was probaby the best thing ever. So I am now down in Ashland, I have a wheelchair, a ramp to the car, a disabled parking pass, and all the help I need. All I can say is Thank God for wonderful familys....
Since I am not at work and not at my home I do not have much i have to do or that I can physically do I will have time to blog. And if anyone has any suggestions for things i can do while sitting here for the next 3 weeks please please please let me know. I am willing to do or try anything.
I go to see a doctor tomorrow down here and we will talk about when i can be induced. The sooner the better, but i want to make sure my baby will be ok. I am just hoping and praying that I will be able to walk ok when all of this is done...
