Well, As it turns out, its true that each pregnancy gets a little bit harder, and the difficulties start a bit earlier. As most people know, a mere 2 days before Justin was born, my blood pressure shot up from 112/60 to 139/98, and late the next night, my labor was induced and ended in a c-section.
Fast forward 2 years to my pregnancy with Ada Grace and I my c-section which was scheduled for 38 weeks and 3 days, on July 7th. A little more than 2 weeks before that, I was having serious contractions every 2 minutes and was placed on bedrest for the last 2 weeks of the pregnancy, and she was born right on time, at 38 weeks nad 3 days.
Now, Here I am, at 34 weeks and 4 days, and my blood pressure has shot up again, more-than-likely a result of either the clotting disorder or the shots that treat it. 4:00 yesterday my doctor put me on bedrest. He wants to be sure that she isn't born before 36 weeks due to size as well as the immaturity of the suck/swallow/breathe reflex. Both of these things could result in a stink in the NICU which none of us wants. So--here I am, on bedrest, and out of work for the remainder of the year, all in the hopes that Ella Sue won't be born before 38 weeks.
Oh, and by the way, just for good measure, Ada Grace came home from from Auntie Donna's house throwing up and with a fever of 102.8. I have it down under 100 now, and she's getting some good sleep, but it just feels like with our reduced time frame to finish getting ready for Ella's arrival, maybe someone hid a candid camera in our house.

Wow--I STINK as a blogger!!
Its only been exactly 3 months since I posted anything on the blog, which I apologize for, but about a week after my last post life got really crazy at work unexpectedly, and won't calm down until school is over!
A few updates since my last post...
The baby's name is no longer Lilly--it is Ella Sue. My maternal great-grandmother's name was Louella, which she wasn't all that fond of, but we are still going to use the 2nd half of her first name, and my middle name for our little miracle. Ella Sue will be making her grand entrance into the world on June 15, as long as all continues to go as planned. Thus far she has been incredibly strong and healthy, and after a few scares, and me finding out that her placenta is on the front, which is why I can't feel her, put my mind at east in a BIG way!
Secondly, I am now teaching 4th grade full-time. I am no longer teaching music, and although I don't know what next year holds as far as a teaching assignment, I do know that I have been recommended for continued employment.
We are going to do a party for kids only on June 28 at Jumpin Beans. We will have a family birthday party the night before Ella is born (June 14) so that the family can be here and go to the hospital on the 15 if they would like.
That's it for now, but I wanted to let you all know.

Ada Sillies
Well, my darling daughter has officially made me belly laugh even when it maybe wasn't appropriate.
Tonight I had asked her to stop pushing the page button on the phone base and she reached to do it again. I told her not to, and asked her to sit down on the couch next to me and put her crocs back on to get ready to go to Grammies. Her response?!?! Well...it went something like this....
"Well, Mommy, I just popped my pants, what do you think about that?"
Then there was this deep snort followed by, "Oooooh, I smell it!"
What in the world is that? I cracked up.....she is too flipping funny!

It's a........
GIRL!!!!!
Barney was right, and is now 4 for 4 in predicting the sex of our unborn children.
Her name will be Ella Sue, and it appears as though she will be born on June 15, 2009.
I'll post pics later, but they are pretty difficult to make out. I will be getting a 3d/4d ultrasound around 28 weeks, which means that the baby's features will be very distinguishable, and look more like pictures than an ultrasound. I may hold off and post those when I get them!

mixed emotions
I had my 13 week ultrasound yesterday and found out that this pregnancy started out as twins. I'm having very mixed emotions about it....I know that the last thing in the world we needed would be twins, but it still hurts to know that we lost another baby. I'm also very happyt hat we have a healthy happy baby cooking in there, but sad for losing one. Life sometimes seems like such an oxy-moron.

Justin's surgery update
Well--for those that didn't realize it because of my poor communication, Justin got tubes put in this morning. He was a bit cranky when he woke up from the anesthetic, but he is wide awake and doing well. He did awesome, let the doctor carry him back to the OR, and didn't even cry before the surgery.
We are going today for an ultra-sound to test for the chrosomal abnormalities for the baby. I'll post ultrasound pictures when I get home this afternoon.
