just another day in the neighborhood

everything is going well. work, home, family, hubby, friends...everything is good. (well as far as i know). baby is doing good. i feel weird. my insides feel weird, like they are moving around. i've spent my entire life sucking in my stomach and now i can't and i feel weird. it's a strange feeling. my stomach muscles feel sore but i haven't done anything. is that normal. all the strange body changes that you go thru, no one prepares you for that. or even explains that to you. yeah the books say you will be going thru changes but they don't go into detail b/c i guess we are all different. 2 more weeks and i get to hear the heartbeat. haven't gotten to actually hear it so i'm so ready. chip has to work so my mom is going with me. i know i'm going to be very emotional and i don't want to be there alone. need someone to hold my hand. so far it's been an easy pregnancy. but i'm waiting for something to happen. i'm an optimist at heart, try to look at the brighter side of life. but we have prayed for this baby for so long that it can't be this easy. I just pray that LC is healthy, happy, normal (considering who the parents are) and all the good stuff parents pray for. also if the Long's genes are more dominant, then this baby will probably look just like his cousin. (see the pic below). that is ok with me. he's absolutely adorable.


so my sis-in-law sent me new pics of my sweet nephew today and he is getting so big. they live in Hattiesburg and we don't get to see them enough. they are some of my favorite people. This is Hudson Long, isn't he adorable.

Baby Long

so i know that this baby is only the size of a grapfruit (according to all the books i've read). what for some reason it feels like he's huge. (yes i call him a he b/c i refuse to call him an it) anyway, sometimes i have trouble sitting bent over leaning on my desk, getting out of a low sitting chair. what am i going to do in 5 months when i can't move. i'm in so much trouble. if i didn't know better i would swear that this kid is going to be huge. i also feel like i'm starting to show and that is not suppose to happen for at least a few more months. am i just paranoid or could it be true.

this is so new and i'm loving every minute of it. it's just weird.
oh and baby loves some Buffalo Wild Wings. we went saturday night and i swear my body left the conversation and all i did was eat. no one else was in the room. they were so good. it's a good thing we don't live closer b/c baby & i would be eating BWW every other night.

ok it's time for lunch.
later

blah day......

ok so i'm feeling blah today. wish i was at home enjoying some mindless tv time.


CONTENTS HAVE BEEN DELETED!!!



that's the motto for the day
GROW UP!!!

Baby Long's 1st photo.

we were so excited to see that the heartbeat was strong and there were 2 arms and 2 legs (well numbs but they are there). Dr Fulton said that everything looked perfect. my heart is so full right now. I can't believe it. I have dreamt of this time in our lives for so long. I have prayed and begged and our little miracle in now on the way. I am determined to stay healthy and do what ever I need to do to bring this baby into the world safe and healthy and happy. Please pray for us on our journey into new territory that we are so unaware of.

God grants us miracles and this is ours. Truly a miracle of God.

my mind is crazy

ok so i notice strange things now.

for some reason my customers want to touch me. it's cold and flu season and i'm preggers and they want to hold my hand and hug me. what the crap is that all about? these people are crazy. i've almost used an entire bottle of hand sanitizer. it kind of grosses me out.

next my clothes are starting to fit weird. i haven't gain anything but i think it is starting to shift and my clothes feel weird. my pants are too big. and when your pants are falling off don't wear silk undies. what was i thinking!! i've literally lost my mind.

people need to use deodorant. they stink and i bet money they don't know it. everyone should wash their clothes after at least 2 wears and where deodorant. YOU STINK!!! my senses are so sensitive.

it's so weird the changes - and no one knows i'm preggers but i still feel like hurling in their lap.

i'm feeling crazy

ok is it normal for me to feel like I'm going to snap.

no seriously my customers are driving me crazy and i feel (at times) that I'm either going to snap or just break down and cry. I'm pretty sure that crying won't get me fired. so Lord, please let me cry. cussing out a customer isn't very nice.

ok my hormones are so out of control. i just don't know how to act. how do you handle it. I'm refusing to take any meds. I'm going to try and make it to the end without any medication of any kind. i know you probably think I'm crazy but I'm scared. we've prayed for this baby for so long that I'm not going to jeopardize this pregnancy in any way.

anyway, i need sugar to keep from snapping. so i try to snack all day long.
not good for my hips but really good for keeping my job. ha ha!!

EXCITING NEWS...........

OK drum roll please...................................


We're EXPECTING!!!


I am so excited I can't stand it. But I'm trying to contain myself and if I start jumping up and down the baby might fall out. ha ha!!

We went to the doc today for blood work and talk about money. Then I go back next Monday for my exam, glucose test, sonogram and visit with the Doc personally. I am so ready to see a picture, it is driving me crazy.


Since we haven't heard a heartbeat or seen the sonogram yet, please say lots of prayers between now and Monday. We need all the help we can get. This is our little miracle baby. Two years in the making and we have finally had our prayers answered.


Little Chicken or LC is expected to arrive on August 18th.


Aug 18th is actually my cousin Jacob Dunn's Birthday. Jacob passed away a few years ago one week after his 16th birthday. I would be so proud to have LC arrive on his birthday, it would actually be an honor. Jacob was a great kid and one of my favorite people. But I pray that the Lord will make sure Sondra, David & Bridget will be ok with that. I don't want to take the celebration away from them on that day.
ok on a light note, I found this onesie online and I have to have it. Chip will absolutely think I'm crazy but it's too cute. Daisy (my pug) is going to be so proud. Now I have to find one for Macy (my lab). I have to get her one too.
