Update on Aiden

So I went back to the Dr. on Thursday the 20th and everything is going great with Aiden and Mommy! When I went to the Dr. about 8 weeks ago he was measuring almost 2 weeks small and my Dr. told me that if he was still measuring that small that she would do an ultrasound when I came back on the 20th but when I went back this time he was only measuring a week small so she said she isn't going to worry about it because its only a week and she is going to keep me with the same due date because everything else looks great. His heartbeat is really strong and he is getting to be very active, the only thing that I have to complain about is that he is constantly in my ribs and my ribs are actually sore from where he stays there all the time. I have only gained a total of 8 lbs which I thank God for everyday seeing as how I gained 60 with Ava and I had almost gained 30 with her at this point in my pregnancy with her. Hopefully I won't start gaining rapidly now though, which is what worries me the most. I really don't want to have to lose as much weight as I did with Ava. Anyway, our due date is still set for February 16th but my Dr. wants to induce me a week early so that I don't have the complications of a BIG baby again. I go back to the Dr. on Dec 5th!! We are at 2 week appts now and time has been going so fast that I hope with going to 2 week appts it doesn't slow down. I cannot believe that on my next visit I will be 30 weeks! Crazy!!!!

Ava turns 2!!!!

Wow this post is really old but I'm literally so busy these days I just don't have the time to post! Here are a few pics from her actual birthday on November 3rd and then some from her party on November 8th (my b-day)! We took over 200 pictures and I didn't want to bore you with all of them so here are just a few! :)

Reese's 2nd Birthday Party

So on the 26th of October, my mom, sister, Ava and I headed to Merritt Island for my little cousin Reese's 2nd birthday party. She was born only 14 days before Ava and her mom Hayley and I are very close cousins so it was great to share in almost a whole entire pregnancy with her. Well, she turned 2 on Oct 21 and Hayley had her party on the 26th so we all ventured to MI for her party and it was so much fun. Here are some pictures I took at the party! Enjoy....

This is one of my favs I took, Ava wanted to help Reese so bad with opening presents but I told her to be patient and watch. She looks so innocent and patient!

Ava's 2nd Gator Game Ever! 10/25/08

Wow I'm really far behind! Pumpkin Patch 10/19/08

Sorry its been a while since I have made a post but I have been extremely busy with work and not been able to spend as much time with Forrest and Ava so when I am off I spend my time with them. There are going to be many updates going up today so hopefully everyone can keep up with me. :)

We took Ava to the Pumpkin Patch on 10/19 and she had an absolute blast. She was trying to hard to pick out just the right pumpkin so it took her a while but she has so much fun while looking. Here are some pics of her playing and picking...

Friends...Ava and Eli

Ava, 4est and I finally had a weekend last weekend that we actually got to do something besides me having to work and having a football game to go to. Well, we went to the game and had a absolute blast but it was a late game so we had time to do other things before. We went to little Forrest's 2nd birthday party (my little cousin) and I didn't get very many pics but I did get these pics of Ava and Eli. Ava loves this little boy and we can't figure out how she remembers him so much because they hardly ever get to see each other which we wish we could change but life is just too busy sometimes. Check out the pics and tell me what ya think. Eli is just too cute and with him and Ava in the same pic it just makes the pics adorable!

Eli sittin tall - he is gonna be a heartbreaker one day!

Go Gators!! FL vs Ole Miss 9.27.08

So, everyone I'm sure knows that 4est and I have season tickets to all of the Florida games. Well, Kara got a sideline pass to go to the game Saturday so she came over on Friday night and stayed the night and then rode with us to the game. These pics are from the morning before the game! Kara went ahead and took my 20 week picture a day early but I've been so bad with taking pictures lately I figured yesterday was good time as ever. I can't believe I am half way done with this pregnancy already! We had a great time yesterday and I know Kara had an even better time being on the sidelines!! I took som pictures with Ava as well because its hard for us to get her to take her picture these days but she was in rare form yesterday and was cheesin for some pics! So anyway, enjoy the pics!!

Its a.....BOY!!!

We went to the Dr. on the 26th and had our big ultrasound and found out we are having a little BOY! We cannot actually believe we are having a boy. I honestly have felt that we were having a boy since I found out we were pregnant (which no one believes me. I felt the same way when I was pregnant with Ava. His name is going to be Aiden Parker. My due date stayed the same which is still Feb 16th, we are planning on inducing me a week early if he starts getting as big as his big sister did. As of right now I have only gained 3 lbs total, my Dr. said she isn't worried about it because Aiden looks very healty and I'm not having any complications so if she isn't worried then neither am I because I don't want to have to lose as much weight as I did with Ava. We are thinkin he is going to be a little squirt which is fine with me. :) Anyway...here are his debut pics!!

Aiden 19 wks 5 days

Wow so much to post, so little time!

So, I am going to update everyone on the progress of this pregnancy all in one post with pictures and everything! I know it has been a long while. Since the last time I went to the Dr. on Aug 1st I have been to the Dr. again, which was on Aug 29th. Since the appt on Aug 1st I lost over 8 lbs due to being sick all day everyday. I figured out that my prenatal vitamin was making me sick, so after almost 3 weeks of not knowing what was making me sick, I decided not to take my vitamin one night and noticed the next morning that I wasn't sick. So I called my Dr and she put me on a different vitamin and she also put me on Phenegran and I have since almost gained all of my weight back. We will find out what we are having at our next appt on Sept 26. My Dr. seems to think that I am having a boy because the heartbeat is alot lower than Ava's was. Ava's was between 160 and 165 and this baby's is between 140 and 145. We will see if she is right on Sept 26. We have names picked out, Girl Name - Graclyn (Gracie) Rose Westmoreland and Boy Name - Aiden Parker Westmoreland. We are so excited. Well, I am now going to add some pictures!

So, here are some more updates! Ava is getting so big. I cannot believe that she will be 22 months old on Wednesday. We are still potty training, she is comin along, we do very well for about a week and then it seems like we go backwards for like 2 weeks. She will eventually get it, we just have to keep working at it. She is to the point where she repeats every single thing you say. She is a trip! She has learned to open all the doors in the house so we will soon be getting the child safety door handles. She realizes there is a baby in Mommy's tummy but I don't think she can comprehend that it will be in our house one day. She kisses my stomach everyday and tells the baby that she loves "it." She says, "I love you baby!" It is the most adorable thing ever. She is going to be such an awesome big sister.

Another update! I have now moved to a different store and I think this is going to be a very good move for myself and my family. Today was my first day and I really think I am going to like it there. It was very strange to leave my old store on Friday bc I have almost been there 4 years but its something that had to be done. So everyone just say a prayer that this all works out for me and my family! Well, I think that is all for now! Hopefully I will be updating this thing alot more and more often. Im sorry I have been so behind. Everyone enjoy all the updates and pictures!

WOW! Its been a long time!!

Hmmm, Where to start?! I went to the Dr. today for my 11 wk check up and everything was great. We got to hear the heartbeat, that is still so amazing to me even though I have already been through all this. It was hard to hear the heartbeat though because I was so scared they weren't going to find the heartbeat that my heart was pounding and all we could hear was mine. I get like that everytime I go in for the first listen to the heartbeat. Ava is so excied about the new baby! When she heard the heartbeat today she started clapping and saying "YAY!" It was so cute. I think she is going to do very well with this baby. I am not worried at all. Anyway, Dr. said baby sounds fine and I am growin really fast this time which she said was normal (which I already knew). She didn't get to deliever me last time and said that she is going to deliver this baby if she has to induce me a week early and I said perfectly fine with me. I so do not want the Dr. that delivered me last time. She is so rude. Anyway, I go back in 4 weeks which is Aug 29 and get to hear the heartbeat again. Will update again when I go to that appt.

Ava is now potty training and it is going very well. She hasn't gotten it quite down that she has to tell me she went to the bathroom before she goes but when she remembers she tells me and we go to the bathroom and she goes potty. I think the part when she is sleeping is going to be the toughest part. For some reason she uses the bathroom ALOT at night which is not a good thing. We will work through it though. She is doing great, I just hope it is very east like it has been. She is getting to where she is putting words together when she talks and it is so stinkin cute. She tries so hard to get it right but sometimes she has to say it 2 or 3 times before she gets it right and we can understand what she said. She is growing up so fast.

My friends Sheena and Brandon had their little bundle of joy Aubrey Kay on July 29th and she is absolutely adorable so I wanted to say congrats to both of them! I can't wait to see her guys!!

Lots of stuff going on in the work front for myself! I have decided that I am completely unhappy at the store Im working at and I could be transferring as early as next week to what's called our "Alachua Store!" Its alot closer to home so I won't be spending as much on gas. Its about 45 mins for me to get to work right now and if I get to transfer I will only be about 25 to 30 mins away which would be wonderful. The store I work at right now has 16 selling reps and the store I would be transferring to will only have 6 selling reps including myself so that means alot more opportunity for me to make money as well!! Woohoo, that would be awesome. I will miss everyone that work with right now at my other store but I have to do what is best for my little family and I believe this is the move I have to make. Everyone just say a little prayer for me that everything will work out the way it is suppose to. Sooooo, anyway! I thought there was alot more to talk about but I guess not really! :) Hope you all enjoy!

Our New little Munchkin!

I had an ultrasound yesterday 6-30-08 because about a week ago we had a little scare and I thought I was having a miscarriage. I called my Dr. immediately to try and get an appt but they didn't seem too concerned about it so they made me an appt to have some bloodwork done. The bloodwork came back perfect so they scheduled me for an ultrasound yesterday. I went for the ultrasound and Dr. said baby looks perfect and healthy, great heartbeat and all. I have never had an ultrasound when the baby was that small so that was an experience. I even saw the little heartbeat and it was so small. I am including some pictures of the baby in my post! Hope you all enjoy. As of yesterday I was 6 wks 5 days and I am due on Feb 19, 2009. The day after my sister's b-day. She is so excited about that. Anyway, here are the pictures!! They aren't great but at least you can see the little munchkin!
