37 weeks!

I cannot believe I have only 3 weeks until my due date!

I have posted a few photos; of me, the adorable cupcakes from my shower, and I felt like I hadn't had a picture of my "big boy" in there yet, so here is our other baby Payton! He won't get much blog time after the baby is born so I thought I would give him a shining moment!

Thanksgiving last week, made it difficult for me to post my weekly blog, and so much has happened since then. First of all we left for Thanksgiving in Madison on Wednesday night, Tim's whole family was there, so it was great to see everyone! Especially the little nieces, I can't believe how much they have grown and how their personalities are so different! They were definately fun to play with and watch! Thanksgiving was great, I don't think I have ever eaten as much as I did that night and I don't think Tim has either. There was a close call, where he actually thought he was going to throw up from eating too much! He just does everything to the max! We are so Thankful for our families, health and this little guy in there cookin away! I can't believe next year at this time we will have almost a 12 month old!

Friday morning, I was awoken by our big man payton! 5:30 Payton had two seizures. We stopped them with the diazapam. We just can't seem to get those darn things under control. He recovered fine and left a little early from Tim's parents so he could go home and rest.

Then We picked up my mom from the airport on Friday night.

Saturday was my shower! It was great to see people I hadn't seen in awhile. I have such great sister-in-laws and mother-in-law to throw me such a great party! It was a tailgate theme, which is very fitting since Tim has been obsessed with College football this fall. We had Michigan cupcakes and everything! Very cute. The idea of the Tailgate was my father-in-law Al! Good job Al! I got a lot a great stuff and felt more prepared with all the baby gadgets that you REALLY don't need but feel like you would be lost without. Thank you to everyone who came!

Monday afternoon, I was walking down the driveway to get the mail after we had gotten about 5 inches of snow, and I slipped and fell landed on my tailbone, then hit my head! I laid there for about 2 minutes, it was hard getting up and I was in shock that my big body had hit the ground that hard! Came inside laid down and tried to figure out what happend. My ass hurt so bad and the headache was throbbing! Called my doctor. She suggested I go into the ER. I was not to thrilled about this, but I needed to listen to her. Got checked out at the ER, nothing broken just bruised! They then sent me to the Columbia Center, where I am going to give birth. They told me they were going to monitor myself and the baby for the next four hours. I was there with my mom for a few hours, then Tim came. I was ready to go home and eat! I was having contractions, but couldn't really feel them. They were about 6 minutes apart and lasting about 1 minute. The baby was moving around good in there and his heartbeat was good. My doctor came in and said she wanted to keep me over night. Now I was not happy! I understood that they wanted to monitor the baby, but that was the last place I wanted to sleep. Sleeping, was not really what I did. I listened to the baby's heartbeat most of the night, (which was reassuring) and tried to get comfortable! I was glad when it was morning. My doctor came in again, said the Baby looked perfect and my contractions slowed down. So I was leaving the hospital with out a baby, which I was a little dissappointed about, but he's not done in there, and I would rather him let us know when he is ready!

So that was monday! My mom left the next day! I was a little crabby with her and Tim towards the end there so I apologize. I need to get better at handling things that are out of my control! So thanks for putting up with me both of you!

Other then that recovering fine, other then being a little sore, feeling good! I had an appointment today and doctor checked me again, I am almost 2 cm dialated and 60% effaced! So he is making his way down, which I can feel in my hips!

I will keep you all posted on if Baby Marco decides to make an early arrival! Otherwise, I will post next week!

35 weeks and getting uncomfortable!

It has been two weeks, so thank you fellow blog followers for your patience!

OK, I know, I have had the easiest pregnancy so far and that it is about time, I start feeling the effects! Well I have! So if you don't want to hear me complain you can stop reading now! :)

I am achy, sore, my pelvis feels like I have been kicked in it multiple times esepcially when i stand up, I feel like I couldn't get any bigger, my skin is stretching to it max! Our wonderful baby boy is resting in my ribs, and sometimes he will give me a little kick to remind me that he could make it worse. There aren't those slight little kicks anymore, they is full on belly movement. It is getting difficult to sit at a desk all day, so walking around is a must. Laying down is probably the most comfortable position, but that is unrealistic!!

Ok, I am done complaining for awhile now! Tim tried to compare these side effects to things he has experienced and that he really knows what I am going through! That is sweet and all, but he has no idea.

We meet Cameron Biller last weekend and he is adorable. It is weird to see your friends as Parents, when you have seen them do so many stupid things, i.e. Joe and his one armed push-ups wasted! Melissa and Joe are great parents and it seems to come so naturally to them! He is a sweet boy that is for sure!

So we have got about 5 more weeks to go, and I know it is going to fly by! Michigan plays Ohio State this weekend, then College football is done, so if baby Marco can hold off this weekend, I think we will have Tim at 100% attention if I go into labor! :)

I start going to the doctor every week now, and at my last appointment she said I was measuring a little bigger then normal, I was like "no kidding, look at me!" I am not sure that means anything but that I am a big girl right now! They check next week Tuesday to see if I am dialated at all!

33 weeks!!

33 weeks pregnant already! I can't believe it is almost here. Starting getting things in order this week, made an appointment with a pediatrician to meet her in December so we are all set. Scheduled to get our carpets cleaned as well as a got a housekeeper lined up to do some deep cleaning of our entire house. Thanks to my mom! That would not be in the budget otherwise! It is getting harder for me to clean. It took me 4 hours last weekend, and I was out of breath the entire time! Usually it takes me about 2 hours. So I am thankful, I have people coming to take care of the major stuff in the next few weeks! Then we just wait!!

At our appointment this week, I asked my doctor how long she would let me go before she induced me. She said they don't go any longer then two weeks! Right now, I can't imagine being pregnant for an extra two weeks. If I am everyone stay out of my way, because I will be in quite a mood. I remember just a few weeks ago, thinking, being pregant isn't bad, I am not even ready to have a baby yet! Well, everyday that feeling goes away a little more. I get ready more and more everyday! Which is a very good thing I guess. I start weekly appointments in two weeks, then we get to check to see if I am dialated at all.

We are going to Madison this weekend to meet Cameron Biller, and I can't wait for that! Melissa was 10 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy, so I am excited to hear all the details.

This has been an exciting two weeks for the Marco/Lytle Family. Two weeks ago my brother Brandon and his girlfriend got engaged! We are very excited for them, they make a great couple and seem very happy together! Then last week Thursday Tim's sister Krissy got engaged to her boyfriend John Mackey! Love is in the air! Brandon and Andrea will probably get married October 2009, and Krissy and Mackey, June, 2010. What an exciting next few years! Congrats to all of you!
