Preparations!

Its so exciting to be getting ready to bring another baby home! Jaycee is BEYOND excited. She will love being a big sister. She is so sweet. She never stops cracking me up, last night we picked up Matt and he and Jesse were going to go play basketball at the park, well it was too wet so we were dropping him back off at his house and Jaycee said Matt you can come to my house and play barbies with me, Matt was like oh yeah and Jaycee said Yeah I have a boy barbie! He laughed, Jaycee just loves him. We're really lucky that all our friends love Jaycee too, she is a pretty entertaining little girl too!

So Tuesday is the big day, I can't wait. Jesse is getting really excited too. He will be off a week to stay home with us, and that will be great, when Jaycee was born he had just went full time and had to use two personal days to even be there when she was born and the next day, then he had to go back to work! I'll be very happy to have him home this time! This weekend is going to be really busy for me! I need to get a lot of laundry put away, clean house, we need to pick up a recliner from my moms house, pack our stuff for the hospital, figure something out to do with Jay while we're in the hospital and tons more. I know we'll be busy after Tuesday so I better get everything done! Jesse will be working, which sometimes is better because when he's off we're usually busy running around doing other things!

Last night we went for a walk around our neighborhood. I love going for walks it always makes me feel better, more energy and such. Jaycee had gotten a new bike over the weekend so she was excited to ride it. We did close to a mile and it was really dark out so we headed home! She did great on the bike, and Jesse even enjoyed walking. I'm trying to prepare things at work for this coming leave! I have so much stuff to do, I know it will mostly be ok until I get back but I hate leaving thinking that I need to finish things! I am going to see about working from home some. I work at Williams Bros. and i'm a computer girl lol so I can do just about everything from my desk. If I set up a go to my pc account I should be able to help them out quite a bit from home. I'll have to figure that out though. I have been here just about exactly a year and LOVEEEE it. There are only three of us computer people and we kinda have our own parts we do. Kelly is the boss and he delegates things and helps with different things. Bob is the hardware guy, so he deals with our phone system and actual computers and things like that. I'm kinda both. I do hardware and software so I deal with all the software systems we have, and some hardware. We run quite a bit of software, pharmacy software, billing software, word processing software, TONS of different things. Since i've been here we have started THREE new pharmacies, now I think we have nine, so you can imagine three computer people, nine pharmacies, that keeps us busy! I think i'll post a few random pictures. Enjoy!

FINALLY

So after a second trip to the ER because my blood pressure was outrageous (156/117) and a trip in to the dr's office this morning, Dr. Baker is inducing me TUESDAY at 6:30 AM. I'm sooo excited. He said i'm definatly on my way to preeclampsia (not sure how you spell that) because i've had protein in my urine the past two weeks. And my uric acid level is too high. It went from 5.2 on Friday to 6.2 last night. Not really sure what that means, but its another sign of preeclampsia. SOOO we're very excited, need to get our bags packed and get the last few things we need, playpen, mattress and a diaper bag for goodness sakes... lol

Ready

I'm so ready to have Kolt here. I'm considered full term TOMORROW. I can't wait. I have an appointment today and they start the weekly exams. Not looking forward to that but hey its part of it I guess. I have a great Dr. he's super nice so that makes it better, I'm excited to find out if i've made ANY progress. I never got anywhere with Jaycee, they had to induce me, after my due date because my amniotic fluid was dangerously low. I was ready to be induced, and glad they checked so nothing bad happened. This go around I have gestational diabetes, thats not so fun, but its been pretty easy to manage. I haven't had to take any shots or do anything to keep it under control. Jaycee weighed almost nine pounds and i wasn't diabetic with her. They say with boys they tend to be bigger, and with diabetes they tend to be bigger. I'm kind of afraid he will be HUGE. I asked Dr. Frances how long they usually let diabetic people go before they induce and he said 38 1/2 weeks. Thats about a week and a half away, but i've been having some blood pressure problems too so lets hope he sends me before that! I still have some things we need to pick up before he is here though! I need to get a playpen, a mattress for his bed and a diaper bag! The bag is the only thing i need bad, he won't be sleeping in his own bed for a while, i'm sure we'll keep him in the bassinet so i'm not too worried about the mattress but its definatly something I need to get soon! My sister is awesome and has loaned us a lot of the things she had for her boys, ( I have a closet full of clothes and we haven't bought ANY) she also borrowed some of the things we had for Jaycee so she gave those back too. I'm SOOOOO READY!! I'll post pictures as soon as he is here. Lets just hope its soon!

Here are some OLD pictures. The baby is my nephew Max.

Thoughts

So I have been thinking about what to talk about on here. Its kind of nice to get some thoughts out there! Last night we went to Bloomington right when I got home from work. We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings, and then got dessert to go from Olive Garden. We had to pick some things up at SAMS and then we headed home. It was such a nice night with Jesse and Jaycee, I wish we had more time to spend doing things like that. Usually its work, home, dinner, bed and up again for work. Jesse is in his second week of vacation, so we have a lot more time right now. He goes back on Monday and I'm not sure how thats going to be! I'll hate getting back into the routine of getting Jaycee up in the mornings and taking her to the sitters, she is such a bear in the mornings! Hopefully won't have many of those days before the baby comes though! I go back to the doctor on Tuesday, can't wait to hear if we have an induction date or not! Spending time like that with the family really makes me appreciate Jesse though. He is SUCH a good dad, he is amazing with Jaycee. She is quite the daddy's girl. If we meet somewhere after work, she ALWAYS demands to ride home with daddy. If he goes to the store, she must go with daddy. She always wants to do things that he does. Its really cute. It really makes me happy that she has such a great dad and she has a good infuence in her life. I never had a dad in my life and I honestly don't think there has been a day of my life that I didn't think about that. My freshmen year we moved close to town in Odon. I lived maybe two miles away from my dad. How ironic that I lived that close to him yet still had nothing to do with him. He is married now and has two other kids and seems to be very involved in their lives and in the church. I don't see how someone can be so involved with two of their kids and not even care that they have a third child. Not only that but they have a grandchild, and another on the way and could care less. It has always bothered me, alwaysssssssssss. He has a great extended family though. I have been close to his sisers and their kids, and have always felt welcome with them. They are very special people to me, especially because I know they have been through a lot and had a lot of grief given to them just because they treat me that way. They came to my baby shower for Jaycee and they come to her birthday parties, I really appreciate that. It does help me a lot. But thinking of things like that make me appreciate Jesse more then anything. He is wonderful and I know he would do anything for Jaycee and I, and Kolt when he is here! Thanks for listening!!

Crazy

I think i'm crazy lol. I have been reading Blogs for a while but never thought about starting one. I love facebook and things like that but never really take the time to talk about anything going on. I figure this way everyone can keep up with us!

So a little about me, I'll be 26 in September, and have been married for going on 5 years. My husband Jesse is an amazing guy. I am really lucky to have him! We have an awesome daughter named Jaycee Ray, she will be 5 in May and will be welcoming our son into the world in the next couple of weeks. We've decided to name him Kolt. Jaycee has been gunning for that name since we found out it was a boy, actually since before that. I remember telling her that it could be a girl, and she just said no its a brother. Kids are so funny. Anyway I have a great family for the most part. We're very lucky to have so many people in our lives. Growing up I was never really close to my mom or sister but since starting a family we've grown pretty close. My mom is a really good person, she still thinks she is a teenager sometimes but all in all she's a good mom. My sister is great, I really respect her, she is smart, beautiful and has an amazing family. We love being around them, they are a lot of fun. She has a good job, marriage, kids and still has time to go back to school. I think thats pretty awesome. I hated school and would avoid going back at all costs! lol. Her husband is great too. Mitch has been with Jennifer since I was probably in 5th grade. I think we scared him quite a bit when we were younger, my sister and I were SOOOO mean to eachother!

My husband's family is great too. He has a sister who he is VERY close to. Her and her husband own their own tanning salon in linton named Paradise Tans. It is a VERY nice place and they are very busy with it. His mom and him have had an off and on relationship. They are pretty close now, and she's great.

I have worked at my current job for about the last year. I LOVE IT. I feel SOO lucky to have my job and this is by far the ONLY job i have ever liked. I enjoy what I do, love my co-workers and almost everyday leave work feeling like I really did something. I hope to be here for a long time! Williams Brothers is a great place to work.

Now that my life story is down on paper i'll have to think about what I want to talk about in this! I have a few things that i'm sure will end up on here. 1. For sure, family information. 2. probably how crappy of a time i've had my whole life because of my dad! and 3. my grandma and her husband.. but those are WHOLE other stories!
