39 Weeks Friday & Baby makes 4!!!!!

I had my final doc appt this week, yesterday. All looks great, and we have all the details for the c-section. It is tomorrow morning, January 25th, at 730am. We check in at 6am, and will be all done at 8am!!! We're excited, anxious, stressed, nervous, happy, and hungry (well I'm hungry)..all in one!!! I've not hit the 150lb mark yet, I'm happily at 149--a 27lb weight gain...and I feel like I'm all belly. We'll see when the belly is deflated tomorrow. I measured in the docs office yesterday and I'm almost 47" around!!!!!!! Jealous, i know!

Mabelle is sooo exciting to meet him, and is all set to make cupcakes with Mimi and bring them to the hospital for us. We even bought extra sprinkles this morning (because we dont' already have 9 bottles of them).

Sooooo the next post will be of the new Mr. Tritten....with of course a first name announcement (we really don't know one yet...have to meet the little guy first!).

Love all of you...keep us in your thoughts & prayers tomorrow!

38 wks and some change...

So there has been no change since my 37 week appt, I go for my last appt tomorrow. We'll iron out all the details of time & restrictions for my c-section on Friday. I'm at a 25lb weight gain, pretty sore and uncomfy. I took a measurement yesterday, while I was fiddling around with a tape measure...my belly sticks out a FULL FOOT from my body. Is that really possible?? Yup, it is...I'm proof of it. I'm pretty over hearing "do you have twins in there?"...or "oh my god, when are you having that baby?"...it seems that's STRANGERS favorite things to say to me. Really, strangers...some people have no tact, whatsoever. Friends & family are just being silly, and I don't mind that, cause I'm a silly person...but strangers?!?! Anyhoo...I've included just a pic of me and then the comparison pics.

Ballerina....I mean...Gymnastics Class

I signed Mabelle up for this combo class...which I assumed was ballet and gymnastics. I was wrong...its only gymnastics, but she loves it all the same. We will still be wearing our ballerina leotards & leggings, since she loves them--and thinks she's still a ballerina in this class. And we'll get to move her up to the dual class when she turns 3. It was intense...especially for a 9+ months prego mama...whoa, I'm exhausted (I couldn't get as many pics as I wanted, since it was constantly moving...the class)! She loved everything about it, and it was doubley fun with Charlee in the class too! She loved the running trampolene, the somersaults, the foam blocks, hula hoops, and the parachute...

Really....is it any cuter than this???

Just some random pics from this past week....

Mabelle wearing the baby's first track jacket....it's a 0-3months...gooooofey!

Craaaazy hair!
Helping Mikayla go 'night-night'...it's her baby!
Eating cupcakes with Daddy..for breakfast...he took that pic, he's getting good, huh??
Getting sugar from her Sunny!!

More gifts...

So we had another couple of packages show up this week...moooore gifts!! Here's Mabelle opening to prove it :)

My friend, Kelly, sent us some great gifts for the baby and of course, Miss Mabelle!

Mabelle opening her Aunt Sissy's, Uncle Chris, Nick & Isabel's gifts--she was kind of crazy, so I was only able to get this pic of her staring at Izzie-bell's picture!

Opening her Brando-logna's gifts....it's Johnny Cash....
(she loved the baby's onesie...she got a matching tee)

Thank you everyone...you guys are too sweet!

Weezer's Makeup!

So during our Christmas part deux...Mabelle sweet talked Elise into playing make-up with her. This is one of Mabelle's favorite things to do, play in make-up, and Elise was way more free on letting her do it by herself (Momma's not as nice)...she was in hog heaven. And always wanted to play with "weezer's makeup", even still talks about it. Here's Aunt Weezer and Mabelle playing in the lip gloss..she even put some one me, but most of it was on her and Weezer's lips. It was too sweet!

37 weeks...XXL

So the doc this week: lost 1 pound, cervix not progressing, and I'm measuring 38 weeks (which is only 9 days ahead, instead of the 2 weeks it's been measuring--always measured on time with Mabs). We're still planning on the 25th...that's just 2 weeks from now!! Still contracting, just not as much...which is nice--but nights are the same ol', same ol'. Mabs is too excited about the little guy's arrival, she is so ready for him to be here--she slapped my belly this morning and said "baby, come out!!". I hope he listens, I'm getting pretty antsy and ready for him too!

"I've got stripes...stripes around my shoulders...I've got stripes...stripes around my belly"....hahahahahahaha!!!

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Who doesn't enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror?? Mabelle LOVES it...actually that might be an understatement...hahahahaha!
