32 Weeks Picture

So this picture is actually 2 weeks ago because today I'm 34 weeks. I'm a little slow and 32 weeks is the beginning of the 8th month so that's why I thought I would still send it. It was taken in Oklahoma at Steve's parents house and just for your information the white piece down by my hand is a string from the pants the can be tightened or loosened as I get bigger. So as of today I have 6 weeks until my due date. Yikes! I'm getting a little nervous about the whole labor delivery thing again. Please be praying for me and this baby that everything will go well and we will both be in good health for labor and delivery. I am experiencing some different aches and pains with this pregnancy. For instance, my belly itches a lot this time and I hardly itched at all with Olivia. I also have more pain after sitting for awhile and then trying to walk. It's like my bones are catching and pinching. The Dr. said that's normal after your body has experienced labor once. Even though I had a c-section my bones still shifted and moved a little during the 34 hour labor with Olivia. I worry about this baby sometimes because Olivia is so rough, she loves to be really, really close to me so she'll sit on my lap and scoot farther and farther back pushing my belly in. She jabs her elbows in my belly all the time trying to get comfortable and even trys to sit on my belly when I am laying on my side. Silly girl. I hope the baby is not getting crushed. Anyway, it's harder this time being pregnant because I can't sit down and relax as much, Olivia keeps me on the move. Oh well, I'm sure it's that way with all moms who are having their 2nd or more. I'm not alone.

We're Back!

Well, we made it back from Oakie Land safe and sound this past Monday night and it's taken me this long to get the chance to blog. We had a great time with Steve's family and friends while we were there. To sum up our trip:
- Since we flew down on my birthday, that night after we got in we went to Outback Steakhouse for my birthday dinner, very yummy.
-We were in a parade with Steve's parents church and since their church is a Cowboy Church, Olivia dressed like a cowgirl in an outfit Steve's parents bought her. So many people that were watching the parade kept pointing her out and commenting on her cute outfit and cowboy boots.
-We went to an Indian PowWow. Very entertaining, Olivia loved it.
-We drove to Lake Eufala for the 3rd and 4th of July to hang out with Steve's friends at one of their lake houses. The water was perfect temperature and Olivia played for hours on the beach and in the water. She also rode a jet ski with her daddy and she loved it. Made mommy a little nervous but they didn't go far and didn't go fast. Olivia also saw her first fireworks show.
-We had an awesome dinner at his sister Lisa's and went to our nephew Grayson's t-ball game. He plays on the Stinkpot team. Love the name.
-Steve helped his dad put in a fence. I was very proud of him, they really worked hard.
-All his family came out Friday night for another great meal at his mom's. His sister Shelley made me the best birthday cake ever. She made a Chocolate praline cake with whipped cream and powdered sugar frosting. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. SOOO YUMMY!
-Visited another friend of Steve's Saturday and then spent the night with his sister Shelley and family.
-Spent Sunday with all family and then that night at Lisa's.
-Lunch out on Monday and then to the airport.
Very busy but a great time. Olivia loved spending time with her cousins, she followed them everywhere. It's good to be back but I have a lot of work ahead of me and a lot of other events coming up. Will it ever end? Probably not, but that's o.k.
The pictures here are of our time in Oklahoma. The first two are over the 4th at the Lake, the next one is of Olivia hanging with her cousins Garrett and Grayson, and the last three are at the parade.
