Hello all... Not much to post today... Still no baby.. I am now starting to get impatient about it.. only b/c I'm ready to know what I'm having and what this baby looks like.. Not b/c I'm uncomfortable, b/c really... i could carry for another month! So i know its not a 10 pounder! :) I better not be putting a curse on myself by saying i could carry another month. Imagine how impatient I'll get by then.. Have a bachelorette party to go to tonight and a bridal shower tomorrow for my 2 friends that happens to be getting married on the same day.. August 9th is going to be a crazy afternoon/evening! But already told them both that theres no guarantee if I make it to their party this weekend.. (Please be here long before the 9th of Aug. baby doak!!)
I'm up to having this baby today or tomorrow!! Pray that my water breaks! :) Maybe i should go mop the floor on my hands and knees and see what that does to the body..
I better go.. Have some laundry to fold..
Pray for me!!

So Proud...
of Carson.. I am going to say he is officially potty-trained!! He just went in the bathroom by himself, peed and put his underwear back on by himself.. :D Thats huge for him! Usually one of us have to help him and help him put his undies back on.. we still dress him.. lol.. now is the time to let him dress himself.. Its just a thought that never really clicked to me till recently, its just us so its easy for me to do everything for him.. I guess you will have that when its just mother and one child at home all day..
But i'm proud of Carson for being potty-trained!! I know we will still have accidents here and there but he at least knows when he has to potty and holds it til we get to a toilet. Yesterday at Wal Mart after checking out, we went to the bathroom and Carson was intimidated by the toilet and saying, no mommy, too big!! too big!! He was talking about the toilet being too big and not having his toilet seat(which is what i HATE, need to find a different one) but I encouraged him that it will be fine and that i will hold him... blah blah... he peed in the big toilet!! I was happy! A lady walked in the same time as we did and she was done the same time as we were so she heard everything and at the sink, she asked if he went and i said.. he did!! She said "Good Job!" to Carson.. For you mothers out there, you know thats a great feeling!
Ok.. off to take a shower then make lunch.. we had a relaxing morning.. :)
Oh, pregnancy note... I have been feeling great.. no contractions as far as i know.. pains in the back here and there but nothing big.. Just one night i was in pain and i wish i knew what night that was?! Saturday night i believe.. ( i need to start documenting things.. I cant even remember when i started potty training carson.. I'll have to look at previous posts to know.. losing my memory!! I cant be that old!! This is something i used to be a pro at!)

our weekend
Well we stayed busy this weekend and relaxed some.. We love our new living room set up! we rearranged all the furnitures, even the entertainment center. Living room has a lot more open space now. We also hung pictures up yesterday, in my opinion, that turned out good. So... I'm pretty much ready whenever baby wants to come.. I'm glad the living room and bedroom is over with! We still have to paint the bathroom, hallway and 2nd room but I'm in no hurry for that.. Not even on my list to do right now.. I feel like i can relax now!! I love it! Today is do laundry and dishes and snap diapers. Carson peed at some point in bed last night so washing the bedding is on the list for today.. It needed done anyway, so him peeing in bed gives me a good excuse to get it done now :).. I also just reminded myself that we need more food so i guess I'll be grocery shopping this afternoon..
On top of everything, I am waiting patiently for baby Doak 2's arrival.. My dad left yesterday for a business trip for 2 weeks so I was kinda bummed about the fact if i had the baby this week but I guess we can at least email him pictures.. I'd hate for him to have to wait over a week to meet my new baby.. I know he will be bummed too.. I wouldn't mind having this baby on the 12th. :) We'll see!! I just don't want to go TOO late... I'll be getting impatient then!! I know theres ways you can try to start labor but I wont even be bothering with that right now, like i mentioned I am waiting PATIENTLY..Carson says.... "Baby is stuck!!" Its soo cute when he does that, he tries to pull on my belly to get baby out but ends up saying, baby stuck! We will just wait till we least expect it! I was also going to mention.. When Carson was born, some may think this sounds selfish, but there were times i wished i could put him back in my belly b/c I felt like that was the best protection i could provide for him. Protect him from all the exposed germs/viruses out there, no struggling with eating(since nursing was a struggle) and to have baby with ME at all times... So this helps me be patient knowing that right now baby has the best protection there is and I'm also enjoying my last moments with just Carson and I..
I shall log off and get moving with today's chores.. Have a good Monday! To my labor announcement ladies, be sure to keep your cell phone on you! EVEN in the middle of the night.. (had a dream that no one got my text b/c it was in the middle of the night so no prayers/thoughts for me while i was in labor.. lol)

No baby yet
I'm bummed to say baby is not here yet.. :) We thought it'd be cool to have a 4th of July baby but baby didn't want to make its appearance.. I will wait patiently for baby's arrival.. I will continue to enjoy the pregnancy and having an only child right now. I feel like i could carry the baby for another month! No, i don't want to but thats how great the pregnancy has been.. With Carson, i was complaining at this stage, the right side of my body was swelled up, i couldn't sleep comfortable. No more hip pains these days, I can still sleep good.. just hard to get out of bed with a belly in front of you with baby in a weird position but it moves as soon as i get up. So for those who texted me yesterday, my phone died last night so thats why you didn't get a text back.. Nope, no baby yet and not in labor either. I do have some pains here and there but nothing serious yet! Baby will be here eventually!!
A different subject.. I wanted to say I am very thankful for 2 awesome sister in laws, Heather and Traci.. I couldn't ask for better sister in laws. I've been blessed to have them in my life! Anyway, about them, they threw a blessing way party for me on Thursday evening. It was very neat! Got some neat gifts from everyone! Blessing way is kinda like a baby shower but its more of a focus on the mother. Heather made a necklace for me that I will be wearing when I am in labor to be reminded that others are praying for me while I'm in labor and will have candles lit too as well as the other ladies that attended my blessing way shower will have one to lit and a prayer card that was made with my prayer requests on it. Theres lots of ways you can do a blessing way, check it out online! I will LOVE to have one for the ladies that attended on Thursday, so someone needs to hurry up and get pregnant!! :D I had a great time! Special thanks to: Heather, Traci, Tami, Breanna and Laura!!

come out whenever!!
Carson and I told this baby, he/she can come out whenever now.. No, the painting is not done and no i did not complete all 24 diapers but i have enough that will get by for now.. :) I'm tired of all this stuff to do, I'm just ready to have the baby now.. I do want to tidy up a bit around here.. put my sewing machine away and the card table can go back under the bed.. People will obviously tell that the house is under construction, well that is if baby comes soon and not completed.. But who do i need to impress?? Could be worse!! SOO if this baby does come soon... excuse the bare walls and lack of decorations around the house.. It'll get done EVENTUALLY.. Sounds like we WILL put the house on the market after baby is born so by then, we'll get the walls done and "designed to sell".. :P

gloomy and dark...
well.... last night ended up to be a frustrating evening.. I was getting to the point where i told myself.. SCREW THE PAINT AND PUT THE HOUSE ON THE MARKET!! What happened was... the green paint we had picked for the living room/kitchen wall... its a beautiful green but unfortunately, it is WAY TOO dark for the kitchen.. So the kitchen is looking pretty gloomy and dark.. Don't like it, Alex agrees too.. *whew* So today we will be making another trip to Sherwin Williams and get a new gallon of paint.. brighter paint.. possibly a tan/beige color.. Somewhere in that color family category. I think i will let Alex do the paint.. :) He is a lot faster and better at it than me.. I plan to help him.. So maybe I'll find a sitter for Carson this evening so we can paint tonight.. Not sure if Alex has any plans but i hope painting is part of the plan.. lol He has some dirty furnitures(I'm talking, gross dirty!) in the garage that he has to clean with the carpet extractor for some guy he works with. So i think he plans to finish the chair tonight and start on the couch.. hopefully that wont take forever.. But the chair, according to Alex, is looking nice and clean now.. I haven't checked myself so i wouldn't know.. Well I don't plan on making this too long.. Have things i want to do today.. So have a good day everyone!
