Again, it's been a little while. I am all healed and big pregnant! I have only gained 30 lbs. at this point and am 35 weeks along! Starting 2 nights ago, in the evenings I contract every 20 minutes until I go to bed. Fun! Getting closer. I go on the 12th for my last ultrasound and to get my cervix checked! I'm pretty sure he has dropped because he looks lower and I can breath better now! I have to pee all the time, so it's just a guess. I am to the waddling stage but I only do this at home! My lower back feels like I have a knife stuck in it most of the time and I have constant foot cramps in my arch!
Non baby related news... I registered Asher for Kindergarten yesterday and he will be starting in July! It's a year round school, so we are excited about that. I also found out that the new base housing we are waiting to move into is 5 houses down from us, has no back neighbors and there is a park almost directly behind our house!!!! Plus a wood fenced in backyard!!!! I am no longer looking to buy now or to move off base. This house has all that we are looking for! 2 car garage 3bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, fenced backyard, Living room AND family room! We are due to move in August sometime! I can't wait!!!
By the way we are naming our 3rd boy Ephraim and not many people like it. We don't care! That is his name. My Mom, Dad, and Mother-in-law all dislike this name with a passion. People keep trying to give us other names to use or say they will call him Efy! NO YOU WILL NOT!!! I will punch you in the face, and I will give your children a horrible nickname! That's pretty much it for me at this time. I will post sometime after Ephraim arrival.
Love- Ali

Bye Bye Gall Bladder
Well, as usual it's been a while. I do have an excuse this time! I have a Doctor's note!!! As you know I am pregnant with our 3rd boy. My other pregnancies were easy and "uneventful". THIS ONE... not so much. I was feeling what I thought was major heartburn for a while. This pain seemed to go all the way through to my back! I chalked it all up to the joys of pregnancy.
We had my oldest sons 5th Birthday party and then went to a movie that night. I was miserable! I yawned and let out this painful yelp! Paul asked if I was alright as did our friend that was with us. I was embarrassed to make such a noise and in a movie!!! After the movie Paul made me go to the Emergency room (it was late). I am so glad he made me go. We had to drive 30 minutes to get there and by that time I was almost doubled over in pain. I was scared too and started crying. They emitted me quickly because I was 26 weeks pregnant!
They take me to Labor and delivery to monitor me and the baby. The baby is doing good. They seem to think I have GAS! Really? I disagree. I hope it is gas! Then all will be fine. They give me Mylanta and check 30 minutes later. Not helping the pain!!! So I'm they take my blood and a urine sample. All check out just fine. Now they give me an Ultrasound, but to check out my Gall Bladder. What do you know...they see something. They think I have a Gall Stone. I'm put on I.V. and will be staying the night. With the I.V. I have to pee ALL the time!!! It is SUPER painful to get up and move.
So I am moved to a postpartum room the next morning. There I ask if I can have a catheter, so I don't have to keep getting up. I HATE catheters! This is how much pain I was in! I am now on antibiotics to see if it helps so I don't have to have surgery. NOPE! So I am put on Demerol to help the pain! WOOHOO! I'm Loopy! Then of course I pass out for a while. I needed the sleep anyway. So the next day I am scheduled for surgery.
The surgery goes great! I am now put in the most fancy room yet, a labor suite!!!! That night I start contracting every 2 minutes. I freak, the best I can on drugs. They ghive me a shot to make them stop. They stop and don't come back!!!! I am released the next day. All the time my wonderful husband is by my side! My boys were there all but the night of the surgery. The baby and I are doing great. I'm healed for the most part, but still can't do all that much. I am blessed to still be carring my baby! If you want to see a surgery like mine go here... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1merv_laparoscopic-gall-bladder-removal_shortfilms

Party!
I am so excited about Asher's Birthday Party!!! We live in a small town now, and on a Military Base. I have been stressing out about many things including Asher's 5th Birthday Party! Where do we have it, who to invite,blah blah blah. Since we live on base, if we decided to have the party at our house.... we would have to go to the main gate and sign people in. I AM NOT leaving my sons party to sign someone in! So having it at our house is OUT!!! Places that host kids parties are limited in this area, so they are pricey and for 10 kids, if you go over 10 then they charge an average of $10-$15 a kid! Most places were about $150 and up for 10. Then we have to think about food and such. So that's out!
My husband said "let's have it at a park and have a pinata and pizza". He was nice and calm about this like that was the answer to my problems. What if it rains?! The parks around here aren't that great. So, I go on line..... I see a picture of a really cool park in a near by town. The name of this park is not listed. The exact location of this park is not listed. So at the fear of sounding like an idiot I call the parks and recreation #. I tell them I am looking to book a park I saw on there website, but don't know the name of it. The guy said "Is it a big wooden one?" YES!!! He tells me the name and connects me to who I need to talk to to book it!!! $25 for the Big Pavillion for 2 hours on the day I want!!!! Now we can invite ALL the people we want to and don't have to leave anyone off because of price!!!
I make things too complicated most of the time. Thank you honey for such a great idea! Although I found the AMAZING park! Now we can decorate the pavillion and order lots of pizza, have great party favors, and a home made cake for cheaper. Plus everyone will be there and have a blast!!! I am so excited!!! Off to find party favors and a pinata!!!!
