Summer's on the way out!
Oh my the summer is almost over! We are a little more the half way though August now and it's just moving a long very quickly!
I had my 5th Pre-Natal visit last Thursday and I measured 37cm! I was 26 weeks at the time. She did not seem worried AT all about it and said it's normal for a second baby and my body type. That however does not stop people from asking me if I'm due any day and if I'm sure there is only one in there! I think I might start wearing a sign!
I had to go in for a ultra sound of my right leg since that foot and ankle have been swollen pretty bad but the left one isn't. There is no blood clot or anything bad or they wouldn't have let me leave the hospital when i had the ultra sound done. I have not heard from the back from the DR yet and I had the test on Monday. I'm going to call tomorrow. It's really not bothering me since my appointment it's been WAY less swollen and isn't hurting as bad.
Today Riley and I went out to Carter's and got her new clothes for the fall and winter. She was busy playing at the Lego table and didn't want to help me pick out clothes for her like she normally does.
I'm waiting for her pre-school to call me back to set up a time for me to take her in to meet with the teacher. I want her moved from the older 3/ young 4 class to the pre-k class but they have to access her first. I know she is ready academically it's socially they want to make sure about. I called them last week so I will have to make that call tomorrow also and make sure they didn't forget. I'd like to know because she will be going different days of the week and an extra day.
So they baby does have a name now she has had one for a few weeks. Kennedy Rose! I think it's fits her just right! Some fun facts about the name is...
* All our names end in Y! Amy, Zachary, Riley & Kennedy
* Kennedy is unisex name just like Riley
*It is a surname (Last Name) just like Riley
Kennedy sure is a active little girl! Riley never kicked as HARD as she does. She is even more of a stinker with Zach though. I will just tell him to look at my belly when she is going nuts in there and I can see it moving and she will stop as soon as I say it! He hasn't gotten to feel her kick more then 3 times.
Riley loves her very much and loves to hug, kiss and rub my belly. She always asks where she is in there so she makes sure she kisses the right spot. If I say oww because she kicked to hard or somthing Riley will rush over " Are you okay!" I hope we are not home alone if and when I go into labor!
I doubt very much I will get to have a VBAC as big as I am right now I can't see if happening. If Riley didn't fit I can't see Kennedy when I'm 3 times bigger then with Riley. But we won't know for sure till it get closer.

4th Visit
Yesterday I had my 4th prenatal appointment. Everything is looking great I measured 23 weeks (I'm 21) and baby is very active in there.
Poor baby still doesn't have a name yet! Zach is really set on Madison and I have tried and still am trying my hardest to like it but I just don't see her being a Madison. The other names we are thinking about are Faith, Rose, Haliey and Lilah. None of the names feel right to me. With Riley it was like yes Riley Jo is a prefect fit! I told Zach I see this baby being more of a dainty girl name and Madison doesn't fit that.
We are 8 days into July now so summer is moving along at a pretty good pace. Not fast enough if you ask me! But there's lots to do to get ready for baby first. Riley is excited about the baby coming and asks daily when it will be time. I need to make her a count down chart.
We ordered the baby's room set on the 30th and it should be coming into the store sometime next week. I can't wait to watch Zach put it all together and see how nice it looks in her empty room right now!

Can I help?
Riley's big thing lately is she wants to help. She wants to do everything herself. When I clean the house she wants to help. Yesterday she followed me around asking if she could clean the bathroom. I told her that only grown ups use the cleaning products. She replied with I can't wait till I can clean the bathroom. I think I'm going to have to record her saying that so when she's a teenager I can play it back to her!
She wants to learn how to do everything Mommy does like folding laundry and loading the dish washer and cleaning the floors. Every time I bring the vacuum out she drops what she's doing and runs and to get hers. Yesterday I gave her a damp rag and she cleaned all the baseboard in the house and the chair rails in the dining room and in her playroom. Then she filled the fridge with water and pop and took out all the boxes from that too the trash. Then she swifered the kitchen floor. She also picked up all the carpet fibers in the babies room that Ella had clawed up but were still stuck enough that the vacuum wont pick them up.
She then tells me "Thank you Mommy for letting me help!" She was so proud to tell Zach everything she helped with. And while we are cleaning she likes to say how happy Daddy will be to come home to a clean house. She is just too cute! I hope she continues to WANT to help for quite a while yet!

It's a....
Monday I had my ultra sound appointment and we found out that we are having another GIRL!! Riley is very excited and I'm so glad because she was really stuck on wanting a baby brother. But in the room she said "It's a girl" that's just what I wanted and then went on to tell the Tec all the ways she's going to help take care of her new baby sister.
Zach and I are both excited too of course. We have been talking about name but of course the name we both really like the other one doesn't! Well not really because I'm still considering Madison Rose! He won't even think about Lola Rose. Rose is also a contender but we can't come up with a middle name. And Ruby is still being throw out there although I'm 80 percent sure I don't really like that name.
Summer is finally here well in the sense of the summer solstice. Last week was chilly it was like fall! And yesterday was HOT! We are in the last 10 days of June already and even though it seems to be going fast it's going slow for me 19 weeks doesn't seem like I've gotten every far! My belly is huge already and I fear Riley will ahve to roll me out of bed in the morning very soon here! I'm already having some trouble getting up from sitting or laying down.

World's Best Dad!
This started out as a Happy Father's Day post but time got the better of me but I still wanted to share what a wonder father and husband Zach is!
Since we were 15 years old I always new Zach would be a good father some day but I have to say he really surprised me after I got pregnant with Riley.
He asked me many times when he would be able to feel the baby kick, he went to EVERY one of my doctor visits with me, he read to my belly every night. And in the weeks leading up to her birth ever time I had a pain he would jump up and say "IS It Riley Time?" He was wonderful in the labor room and was there during my c-section after laboring for 15 hours. He even cut the cord when he told me time and time again he was not going too. That kind of stuff grosses him out.
After she was born he struggled to change her diaper and clothes all by himself worried that he would hurt her. (We planned on me showing him but I wasn't able to get up after my c-section)
When we got home he was the one to get up with her at night time. He would move the bassinet to his side of the bed so he could make sure she was still breathing several times a night. He was the one up at 4 am in the morning for hours when she wouldn't go back to sleep those first few days. And he continued to get up every night for 2 weeks then we took turns.
He was always excited to come home in the evenings and give her a bottle and sit and hold her. As she got older it was all about the playing. He comes straight home from work every night and is home every weekend. He doesn't care about going to the bar or playing golf for hours on end he would rather be at home playing with Riley and reading her a bedtime story.
This pregnancy Zach really has helped SO much! This is not an easy pregnancy for me although it's better then what it was in the beginning. Zach took over basically everything in the house hold on top of working at his day job and the 2 other jobs he does to make extra money.
He did the laundry, cleaned the cat boxes, cleaned the kitchen, picked up the house, made Riley dinner, got me what ever I felt like eating, gave Riley a bath and put
her to bed pretty much every night for those first 13 weeks! When I felt so horrible. He even gave up his Sunday sleep in day so I could sleep in both days on the weekend.
I'm so luckily and blessed to have found a man like him to spend my life with.
