Finshed blanket

OK I don't have a picture yet of the whole thing done but I took a bunch of the animals, because they are the best parts of the blanket hope you all like them!

Waiting game begins

So I finally got an appointment for the echo. My OBGYN called and asked if Primary had called me yet, after I said now they called them and got me an appointment for me. Which is more then fine by me. I wanted I was getting really frustrated at the lack of someone calling me. Now the new annoyance. They were booked until Mid January! I won't be able to go in until January 20th, which *sigh* talk about frustrating. Now I know its not something that will not effect my little Aiden right now, the heart defect that he may or may not have will be something to deal with once he gets here. I just... I want to know. This not knowing if he has it or not is not easy. I'm trying not to think about it to much. I am doing my best to keep busy at work, which is hard we've slowed down. And any down time for me means me thinking way more then I should *sigh*. Anyways Christmas was good and I have pictures just haven't downloaded any to my comp, feel to overwhelmed with other stuff to get around to it.

Also I finished my blanket and Christmas eve and I know I need to take pictures of it to I just I dunno just not up to doing all that right now, just sounds and feels like a lot of work, that i don't want to do right now. My motivation for it is near zero. Oh well I'll get around to it eventually.

Let it be ok

Right now I am on edge, been crying and just well freaked out. So I had my US at 20 weeks and all they said at the time that my little guy was positioned strangely and that they did not get a great view of the heart. So they had me do another today. Again he was in a strange position, hes facing towards my stomach (and breach), which helps explain why his kicks feel so soft. Anyways what they saw was the same as last time and apparently what they think there seeing is extra growth in the atrium of his heart. So they know want me to do an echogram which will give a clear picture of his heart and will tell for sure if that is happening.
I did feel like everything went a bit blurry at that point, because my Doc started explaining what could happen if that is the case. Right now my LO is fine, he measured at exactly 27 weeks, due date March22, my original is 23, so no problems there. Its after hes born that there could be problems. He said it could repair itself but if not could require heart surgery and he said some people who have it do live normal lives but can have heart problems. I'm just scared right now and just waiting for them to call me to set up the appointment at the best children Hospital in the state. My guess is they won't be calling me until after Christmas.

Ugh!

I really am sucking at updating! Of course this time of the year I have less time to update so very busy. Thanksgiving went well. Loved seeing how Connor was with my cousin's babies gave me hop to how he'll be when his little brother comes around!. I've been really slow at working on the blanket, got a bit more done just no pictures. Hmmm lets see what else. Well last week we went to the Festival of Trees, I love going to it every year and really feel its for a great cause. All the proceeds go to the Children's hospital.

Only heard one thing that I am still beyond disgusted about. A girl I use to work with found this guys wallet that had 270 dollars in it. She left her contact information so the guy can get into contact with her so she can return his wallet. Well he called the cops and  is claiming that 500 dollars is missing and claiming that yes she stole it.. the one who was trying to be a good person and tried to return a lost wallet! well now she has a court date and has to defended herself that she did NOT steal the money. I mean who would steal money from a wallet and then leave contact information for it! AND how does the guy even have proof that he had that much money in it? Just goes to show why less people are doing good deeds for others, its has a tendency to bite you in the ass anymore.We had plans to go the Hogle zoo tonight for the zoo lights but Connor is getting over a cold hubby has the cold full blown and I may have it, its either that are our crappy air.

Guess the only update for cross stitching is a pattern I just finished making for a pattern. Here it is below. hope it turns out never used my own pattern before!

Blanket closer to getting done!

I woke up at about 5:30 this morning and could not get back to sleep so I'm on here making an update. First of Happy Thanksgiving and yay 4 day weekend for me! Boy do I NEED that. Well I went to my Doctor n Monday, everything seemed fine, though I have to go back in for another Ultrasound in a month. Apparently my little guy was not cooperative when it came for them to check the heart they couldn't get a good look at it and so want me to go back in so they can get a better view. Now what they had a clear view of looks great. Also I am at 22 weeks and have YET to gain a single pound, wow. Now my Doctor has said nothing about that fact and so it must be fine. I have noticed that places I was a little chubby am not really anymore. Seems my weight is just shifting form one place to another. I'm also feeling him kick a lot more now. I am really curious how Connor is going to react when he finally feels the baby move. I imagine hes going to freak out.

Lastly my blanket I had a goal to finish the cross stitch part of it by well today. I did it! Now on to the back stitching :). Once again I tweaked these photos with photoshop, the colors was really dull in my photo which is not like the blanket at all! bad lighting I'm thinking. Now I am going to follow the directions and the the back sitiching of one color at a time, first off pink.

Sorry took so long to update!

Boy has it been an interesting few weeks. Works been.. well not the greatest to say the least. I could go into a whole thing about it, but wanted to do it in a non public post but do not know if you can do that on blogger.  So I;ll just leave it there for now. I had my big ultrasound  two weeks ago and yes I am definitely having another boy. we've agreed on the name Aiden, middle name to will be Hawaiian like other son, whose middle name means watcher of the winds.

Sunday, snow, cross stitch and all that

I am having a hard time keeping up with posts! Work has taken my life over. This last week I worked 56 hours AND hit the half way mark in my pregnancy. I've been extra moody and crying a bit right now, just so very tired and the in-laws will probably be here Tuesday. Thet fky by stand by so you never know. It'll be a shock for them though they are from Hawaii and just take a look of the picture I took yesterday morning!

My nephews and niece have never been around snow so this could be interesting/ memorable. I worked 8 hours yesterday and hubby hasd to work to so I dropped my son off at Grandma's who the moment got out of the car started throwing snow balls at me :).

Short cross stitch update haven't had time to do much. Have three squares to go then back stitching will definitely get this done before March! My next big project will be making Christmas stockings for my kids and if I'm very motivate for hubby and myself!

lastly if anyone else has a pinterest account.. something I can't seem to stop using so addictive.  here's my account:

Oh and yes Halloween went really well, people were actually home this year an my son won cute factor cause everyone gave him like 3 or 4 pieces of candy, lol.

Halloween

Had a disappointment today took my little man to the Utah Olympic Oval which was suppose to have trick or treats. Got him all dressed up was standing in line and apparently the vendor who was suppose to do it didn't show up so it was canceled. Well we had to go back to the car with a confused and unhappy kid who was crying the whole way home :/. We do have stuff to do Monday but still hard to explain to him what happened.

At least  I was able to take pictures of my little pirate in his  costume made by my mom!
