It's been a while since I have posted

I guess a lot of you didn't know that I was in the hospital last week with double pneumonia. I can tell you that was the sickest I have ever been. I don't know how I got sick cause I've been on bed rest since Oct. I am feeling 100 percent better than I did, and I don't ever want to have it again. With me being sick, Rylan and Scott was sick though they just had a bad cold. My mom had to take Rylan to the doctor cause he had little bit of a ear infection, then she got sick, and then Scott. So we all have had the crud... But I am better now.
Yesterday, I decided to go through Rylan's clothes and toys... I am trying to make room for Levi. I only got like 10 or 11 weeks till he gets here, and that's not even if he comes early which I predict that he will. So, I cleaned one side of Rylan's closet for Levi. I really didn't realize how much stuff that Rylan had. He is very blessed. Some kids don't even have a fraction of what he has. Though one good thing is that I don't have to buy clothes and toys for awhile...

Doctor Again Today..

Well, I had to make another trip to the doctors office today. I really didn't want to go cause I was afraid of what they might tell me.. I had leaked the last two mornings, and was hurting in my lower left back.. So I went and they checked me and said that everything was looking good. Though I need to stay off my feet more and try not to lay on my left side to much, since that is where Levi wants to stay... Then after I left the doctors office I went and got my medication filled which took forever, and got a movie at Walgreen's.. I got that movie The Story About Bee's. It was so good. Later tonight I took it back at got Fireproof. Fireproof was excellent.. Probably one of my favorite movies...

I just got done watching this movie, and it's the best movie I have seen in a long time. I couldn't stop the tears, the just kept a rolling... You have to see this movie if you haven't yet.

I think Levi thinks it a circus inside my stomach. Every night about the same time his starts to rumble around lol... It's about 12am cause I am usually up on the laptop and I can't sleep. But he has been very active here lately which is good. I went to the doctor yesterday and they told me that everything looked good. I am getting excited more and more. I really haven't bought nothing for the baby yet.. I just want to make sure everything is okay. There is so much stuff that I need to be getting out of storage and getting ready for the baby. Rylan is getting excited. I can't wait to see his little face when Levi gets here. I know he will do just fine with him, even though he says he is going to pinch him lol... I don't think I will be able to turn my back on Rylan...

What's for Dinner

Well, I tried a two new recipes that I found on here today. They was pretty good.. Here they are. If I was thinking I would have took a picture. This was so easy to make, and clean up was a breeze..

We have a name, I think!!!

Our baby boy is going to be named Levi Garrett.. I think that goes pretty good with Rylan Jameson. Hopefully Levi will be healthy. I keep having these weird dreams that something is wrong. Like last night I dreamed that they put me in the hospital cause the baby had insulin in his ears.. I know its my fears that plays a part in my dreams. With everything that has went on with this pregnancy, make me wonder. I have to trust in God, and everything happens for a reason. God would not deal us a hand that we could not handle. I have to believe that everything will be alright. Sometimes it's hard though....

I am a coupon user now...

I have never used coupons before yesterday... I don't know why I haven't. I have been clipping coupons for 2 weeks now, and we went to Bi-Lo yesterday. I was shocked how much I saved. If I knew I would save that much, I would have been doing it a long time ago. Everything that went in the buggy I pretty much had a coupon for. It was hard trying to find coupons and fighting with Rylan. He could not make up his mind where he wanted to set in the buggy. We got our grocery's we went to check out. We had a full buggy. I had spent 140 dollars before coupons, and after coupons and tax I only spent 111 dollars. I was ticked pink. Couldn't believe I saved that much.
