Arise at Pinelake....

Last night 2 friends of mine and I decided to go to Pinelake to the Arise Womens Service. It featured Barbie Bassett. On the way i wasn't quite sure what i would be experiencing at the service if anything. We got there and had a few laughs along the way. We got in a found a seat and i started thinking is this really gonna be good? I questioned myself and thought ok come on Nichole your in church surely it will be fun. They had a music worship before Barbie spoke and it was GREAT. I was so touched by all those women that sang and praised God with there voices. I began to think this is gonna be something good. Barbie came on and spoke and let me just tell you that women has a fire in her for the love of Jesus Christ. She touched my heart so much. She told stories to make you laugh, and cry. If you missed it you missed a great thing. One thing she talked about was being a missionary a servant. When we become Christians we are missionaries, we are servants, and i realized i havent been a very good servant or missionary. She talked about God being our center and ONLY our center he cant be left or right and he has not been my center lately, but he will be!

Our Sweet little girl!

21 Weeks

Ok....now she's a CARROT? Last week she was a banana, week 16 she was an avacado NOW A CARROT! Whatever!

My First (Pre) Mom Mother's Day!

Sunday was a great day. I spent the day with my Mom in law Lola and Scott's family. We had a blast eating, not having to clean, taking pictures of Andrew, and just being lazy.

I wasn't expecting to be recognized as a mom at all yet, but at church the GA's handed out flowers to all the mom's and they gave me one too. They said i was just as much a mom now as i will be in 4 months!

My wonderful sister in law Rachel gave me the sweetest card ever for my first mother's day, and my mother in law Lola gave me a frame for mother's day that i can put a sonogram picture in and it says "Coming Soon".

It was truly a day to be remembered. I cant wait to Scrapbook all about it! I know next year with Little Girl being here it will be even more special!

I hope all of my friends had a great day!

Week 20

My sweet little girl is a BANANA! It amuses me how they compare your baby to fruit!

The Baby Blues.....

Today makes us 20 weeks and 3 days.....you would think that would mean the nausea, and vomiting would be gone.........NO NO NO MAM!

I feel like the person from the Pepto Bismol commercial....nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, minus the diarrhea add some VOMIT! But it is all gonna be worth it in 19 weeks when we get to bring home our precious little girl!

I went last week with the help of my wonderful husband and very best friend Tierney and got registered for baby stuff. It was so much fun. I loved all the little clothes, and shoes, car seats, blankets, bottles.....oh i cant wait! I got registered at Babies R Us (majority of my stuff), Target (crib, changing table), and JC Penney (some little cute odds and ends). The only thing i cant make my mind up on is her bedding. It is the hardest thing to pick out in the whole wide world besides HER NAME!

I dont think we will ever find this child a name!!! Ugh.......what do we do! I guess when she born and doesn't have a name something might come to us that we can decide on and both agree on!

I am such a blog stalker and i found this web page called Baby Center on this other pregnant girls page and it shows you how big your little baby is!!!

Our little GIRL is the size of an AVACODO this week!!!! I just think that is the coolest thing.

Ok so update...... Last Tuesday 3/31/09 i started having some menstral like cramps on the way home. I brushed it off and said it would go away. Well i hurt all day Wednesday and ended up having to go home instead of staying at church, and i did call the Dr. I got to talk to this really mean nurse who must have been in the middle of stuffing her face and didn't want to fool with me. Thursday morning i called my Dr office and they said i could come in to see Dr Nichols cause Dr Ory was out. So Scott came up and we went to the Dr got a ultrasound and found out my Fibroid Tumor is larger (measuring in at 7cm) than it was 3/25/09 when i went to the Dr and my cyst on my ovary was still there(they had said it was gone) and it was like 3cm adn that the baby was a GIRL!!! The Dr examined me and said my uterus was way too large for 15 weeks and it was dehydrated and my tumor was larger and all of the above could attribute to the cramping so i got "BED REST" for a week. WONDERFUL!

Amongst all of the above my great grandmother got sicker and had to be put back in the hospital (i was on BED REST and couldnt come see her)! It was horrible. My Grandma passed away last night and i know she is in no more pain and in such a better place with the Lord.

I came back to work yesterday and had some pains on and off but nothing major then we had some drama at work and i got to Wal-Mart grocery shopping and i started having trouble catching my breath, i could feel my pulse about to POUND out of my neck, and it felt like an elephant sitting on my chest. So i wobbled over to the BP machine and my BP was 164/100 and pulse 120!!! Oh that is just stinking GREAT!!!()#^&*()#%$&*^

So i finished shopping quickly and went home and propped my feet up! Scott came in and checked my BP around like 8:30 last night and it was 130/70 or something so it was better!

Update.........

Ok so my dear little friend Amy wanted me to update my blog i think cause i haven't in a while.....SORRY!

I dont have another appt till Wed 3/25/09 and i will be 14 wks 3 days then so hopefully they might be able to tell what the baby is....OH I PRAY! The anticipation is KILLING me. I wnat to buy stuff and start decorating and i cant cause they cant tell if it's a little boy or little girl...UGH the frustration of not knowing....but anyways!

On tuesday my dear friend Leigh that i work with who was 9wks pregnant lost her baby. Please say a prayer for her. I know you might not know her but God can comfort her and her family through the prayers of people.

I have been having some strange pains in my lower stomach almost my groin area. It hurts when i walk, sit up in a chair, turn at the waist, EVERYTHING. Its like a sharp pain that goes across the whole front of my lower abdomen. It was so bad i called the on call nurse last night. She told me it was probably Round Ligament pains, and to not worry if i wasn't bleeding. She suggested i keep taking tylenol and take a warm bath. The bath helped for a BRIEF moment.

But anyways....im still throwing up EVERY morning. It skipped 3 days last week and i thought it was gone but no mam...back again and then this past sunday no vomit...i thought it was gone but....no mam back on monday and then all of a sudden today no vomit...so PRAY no more!

Ultrasound pictures of the baby from last week!!!

10 Week Appt.....

We went wednesday for another appt. Of course i had to get my blood drawn.....yuck! My blood pressure was up once again this time. So when we go back in 4 wks i have to do a 24hour urine to make sure i dont have protien spilling over in my urine...not gonna be fun! We also got another ultrasound to check the heart rate cause we couldn't get a good one on my belly. It was good though 178 and strong. We got to see the baby moving and waving its arm and kicking its little legs....so sweet! I wanted to cry, but i couldnt move cause the ultrasound lady felt like she was digging into my spine! She measured the baby crown to rump and "IT" is measuring 1 wk ahead....which is good! My cyst on my Lt Ovary is smaller, but now i have a HUGE fibroid on my uterus...UGH what else!

But otherwise all went well, oh and we set up our payment plan....i feel like a have a car note once again! The ultrasound tech is going to email me the sonogram pictures so i will post em as soon as i get em!!!

Heart Beat check up...

We had our appt this morning to check the baby's heart beat. It was 128bpm. She said that was great! We go back in 4 weeks on Wednesday Feb 25, 2009 at 8:10 for another appt. We will do our prenatal blood work then and probably check the heart rate with another ultrasound. She said we will probably induce unless i go into labor myself during the day, because she likes to deliver all of her own patients. She explained the appt's what would happen and what to expect over the next 7 1/2 months.

Im so EXCITED! She did say i could change no kitty liter NO PROBLEM i HATE cats and i dont have one! Also she said i couldnt eat raw fish but i dont think ALL SUSHI is raw? Is it? OMG i will die with no sushi! UH! But it's worth it so so worth it.

Wish us luck over the next 4 weeks until we go back. The Lord has already blessed us so much with this pregnancy and I know He has so much more blessing for us to come.

6 wks

Im 6 wks 3 days but i was going to give the 6 weeks info.....

The Baby is around 1/4 inch long - think of a small lentil with a tail! But this is one busy legume. If you could see your baby you would see dark spots where the eyes and nostrils are begining to form. Those little holes on the sides of the head are where those little ears will be. The baby's arms and legs are now tiny buds, but by the end of this week those buds will be moving, thanks to the muscle fibers that are forming. By the end of the week, that precious little heart will beat a regular rhythm. The baby's backbone and rib bones are starting to form.

I haven't really felt different except for CRAVING Dr Pepper everyday! Which i know i shouldn't have. I have felt kinda sick a couple of times and almost all of those times has been when i have been eating eggs! YUCK! So im staying away from those eggs from now on. I dont even know if i want to eat them afterwards! My boobs kinda hurt at times but not all the time. Im thankful for that!!! Tomorrow we have our appt to hear the heartbeat YAY!! I kinda hope it's two baby's in there.....i know i know everyone reading this is thinking OMG she has lost her flippin mind. Maybe i have but i would love every minute of it! They would have to call an ambulance for Scott tomorrow if they says it's two! Haha

I blog tomorrow and let ya know how it goes. Pray for us and the Baby. God has already blessed us with so much. I am eternally grateful for this opportunity.

Catching up on Baby Webb.....

The day we found out about Baby Webb...
We had been trying for 1 month to get pregnant and i knew i could either expect my WONDERFUL period on Jan 11 or expect NONE which would be a blessing! So on Monday Jan 5 i took a test --- it was NEG, and i had bought a test that had 2 in it, but i saved the other one. On Thursday Jan 8 i was about to get in the shower getting ready for work and i decided what the heck im takin the test. So i did! The whole ENTIRE time i was in the shower i was praying "PLEASE LORD LET IT BE POSTIVE"! Well. I got out of the shower and looked and low and behold there was TWO pink lines! YAY.....i was so excited. I immediately got on my knees and thanked God for what He was giving us! I was 3 weeks and 4 days pregnant!

I went to work and had to make sure i wasn't crazy so when Leigh got here i made her look at my preg test i had taken at home. Of course she was like "yes". So i called my new Dr Erica Ory (who is wonderful) and told them i thought i was pregnant and i wanted to come do a blood test (we miscarried in June so i wanted to make sure i got all the attention needed quickly to prevent that happening again). They let me come on up stairs and drew my blood, and then they made me wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes! Ugh....it was the LONGEST 45 min of my life. Then this Nurse came around the corner and ask to speak to me.....she had NO facial expression at all. I just knew it was bad news. So i got up and went arpund the corner with her and she said "CONGRATULATIONS YOUR PREGNANT" the words i NEVER thought i would hear her say! I just started crying. I told her i was so excited and i was so scared. So i went up front and my our first appt for Feb 10, 2009 @ 8:00!

That day i was on pins and needles could not wait until i could go home and tell Scott. So i went to Kroger got 4 pink balloons and 4 blue balloons, i stopped and got a digital EPT test (cause i still couldn't believe it), 2 bibs (said "my dad rocks" and "my dad is cool") and i wrote him the sweetest poem (i will post it later). We had went to a FD Mtg and came home and it was like 8:30. I ran into the bedroom and got my camera ready. I had everything layed out and ready for when he walked in. I hollered down the hall for him to come in the bedroom. He cracked the door and saw the balloons and other stuff and he said "What's that?" i was like "come in the room" so he walked in and said "hum, well how about that" and i cried and we hugged and kissed! Then he said "well just cause your pregnant can you not cook supper now?" Haha

The pain................
I had went across the hall on Friday Jan 16 and the girls from work did an ultrasound and said she saw a cyst on my left ovary, my uterus was inverted, and the baby sac was attached really low close to my cervix. Well on Satirday Jan 17 i started having A LOT of pain in my left side. I tolerated it over the weekend and on Monday i called the Dr. and they made me an appt for Tuesday Jan 20 @ 8:00 i was 5 weeks and 3 days. Scott had gotten off work that morning and we went to the Dr. They did and ultrasound and we could see the sac. The Dr said everything looked good. I do have a cyst but it should be fine. It comes with it sometimes. So she made me an appt to go back on this Thursday Jan 29 @ 8:00 for another ultrasound. I will be 6 weeks and 4 days and we hope to hear the heart beat! On Wednesday Jan 21 the girls at work wanted to look again and we got the sweetest picture of the baby it looks like a little pacman! And they said my cyst was A LOT larger! Yikes. The pain isnt really that bad but at times though.

We're having a BABY!!

Well I have some big news. Scott and I will be expecting the arrival of Baby Webb on September 20, 2009. We are so excited. Im beside myself. I have no idea what to think or do! So i guess this now turns into a blog for Baby Webb!

Lots to catch up on....

Ok so i took a somewhat LONG break from the blogging world. Sorry. It has been a long long long several months. Tierney had Kye (he is so sweet and handsome), the clinic i worked for was bought out by Baptist and that has been a LONG and DREADFUL change!

I have so much more i want to let anyone know who pays attention!

Maybe later.....this was for you Amy!

Babies gallore....

I have so many friends having BABIES!!! One of my best girls Tierney is in her 6th month. She is going to be a GREAT mom i just know it. I am so happy for her and Josh, and i cant wait to see little Kye. This is a picture of her from this weekend.

Friday we found out Jenn and Lee some other friends of ours are going to be welcoming a 2nd little bundle of joy into their home February 28th, 2009. This is the same day that our baby would have been due, the same time Tierney and Josh got pregnant this year, and the same day Grandmother died this year. Funny how things work out some times.

We also have a new addition to the Webb family. Baby Boy Andrew Noah Lawson born Tuesday 7/15/08 @ 4:16 pm, Weighed 7lbs 9oz, 20 inches long. I will post a picture of him soon.

The Waterslide.......

Yesterday was our church's annual 4th of July gathering. This year was a little different. Usually we just have Watermelon, but this year our new Pastor decided we would try something new. It was GREAT! We had homeade ice cream, watermelon, left over ham sandwiches from church lunch, a dunking booth, petting zoo, and Space Jump of Jackson brought out 2 inflatable obstacle courses, 1 inflatable dual slip and slide, and 1 inflatable high slip and slide!!!!

Talk about heaven. I was so excited i could hardly hold myself back. My husband did NOT want me getting on the slides......but......i got one of the obstavle courses first. It was a blast i just knew before i could climb over the wall i would fall down and bring some small child to an early death with my extremly large self......but thank the Lord he was watching out for me and the small children and He helped me manage to get over that wall to be able to slide down to MY death!!!

****NO SMALL CHILDREN OR ANIMALS WERE INJURED DURING THIS TIME****

Well my friend Steph and i had already decided we HAD to go down that slip and slide. It was no question to it. So i figured while my husband was getting ready to do the Fireworks thats when i would make my move!!! Steph and i some how managed to get Shelly to go on the adventure of Big Girls Gone Wild down the big inflatable slipping slide! We climbed up.........Steph was first and down she went (after the panicing adults grabbed all of the small children out of the wade pool thinking the splash alone from us would kill them!!

Again....

****NO SMALL CHILDREN OR ANIMALS WERE INJURED DURING THIS TIME EITHER****

Shelly was next to go down and she slid down with no problem...........well i kinda hung around the top thinking "this really is high and what if i look like Reshbusha from Norbit flying down this slide and go straight thru the fence ahead......." well Steph left me know time to think of what i was going to do.......nope she didnt she came back up the slide grabbed my arm and down we went..........it was sllllloooooowwww motion all the way down. I could see people watching us and the whole time i was thinking i was going to die or kill someone. I was hitting the replay button in my head the whole 5 seconds down watching Reshbusha as she climbed on the slide and slid down to find herself flying thru a wood fence and landing ALMOST on top of a small child into a small pool of water..........but after she landed there WAS NO WATER!!!! I just knew we would knock all of the water out of the pool at the end of the slide!

Steph had my arm and i had her shirt because if i went thru the fence so was she! As we tumbled down the slide i realized i was turning kinda side ways and felt as though i was going to fall off the side!! Well i didnt fall off......i landed on Steph! After my legs hit the side of the slide it turned me around and i landed on top of her..........I just knew she was dead!!!! But she was ok. Still breathing.... me on the other hand i almost had a heartattack thinking about it trying to write this!!

I couldnt leave this without some great pictures my friend Ashlee managed to get.......

Enjoy.

Here we come.............

There we go............

See i told you we didnt injury any small kids!!! Just us!

Love Chole

A fresh start...

OK so i haven't been doing so well with my weight loss. I started off really well with the Easter Challenge thing (thanks girls!) then i went down hill :( Grandma got sick and was put in the hospital in February and then she passed away and during that time i missed several WW meetings. So i didn't go back knowing i would have to pay a whole new joining fee and i didn't have the money for that. So i kept going with the Easter Challenge i wasn't losing as much as when i was going to WW but that was OK i figured the slower it comes off the longer i keep it off. Well then the Easter Challenge kinda CLOSED and that was BAD for me! It helped so much having people email me and leave comments and keep me encouraged. I don't even have my best friend here where i live that will keep encouraging me because she cant stay on the wagon!

Needless to say i stopped losing. Then in March i went to Orlando for a week with my bis sis Melanie and i didn't do to awful bad i didn't gain any weight i just didn't lose, but as time went on i started creeping back into my old eating habits and then i started gaining back. In the beginning when i started this blog and the Easter Challenge from the time it ended and i started gaining i had lost a total of 26pounds which was awesome! I have never lost that much weight.

Let me rewind back to October when i went to see my OBGYN. I was way larger than i have ever been. I asked her about if she thought when Scott and I where ready to start trying to have children if i was OK as far as healthy. Well she said, "Nichole there is no way at the weight you are now you will get pregnant and if you do it will not be easy getting pregnant nor will it be a healthy pregnancy." So that afternoon on the way home i was crying thinking my worst fear was going to come true i would never be able to have children because I'm so overweight and there is no way i can lose it. I thought and cryed and cryed some more then i remembered the WW meet in Richland at the Methodist Church on Tuesday nights and it was Tuesday night. So i pulled in to that church and marched in to sign up! I was so excited and there was 2 other girls there that were overweight and wanted to lose weight so they could try and get pregnant so i had someone who could relate to me! I have never had that. I have some of the worlds greatest friends but I'm the Fat Friend. I'm the one that they feel sorry for and don't want to invite swimming or laying out because i might feel out of place me being so large. I'm the girl that takes up the most room and others have to sit in my lap when we try and all go out and fit in the same car. I'm the friend that my husband cant pick me up and twirl me around because I'm so big. I'm the friend that cant borrow clothes because they would never fit!

So i dropped WW, The Easter Challenge was dropped, and i was left to start gaining weight so i did. I didn't gain back all the weight i had lost but i gained all but 8 pounds. My middle sis Amanda called me Monday and told me about this TOTALLY FREE site called sparkpeople.com. She said she had signed up and wanted me to check it out so i did. And i signed up as well. It has so many great tools to help you. Well since i signed up Monday i have lost 8.6lbs!!! Yea for me. I don't know what it is but the encouragement you get from people you don't even know telling you, you can do this is so wonderful.

So this brings me to the FRESH START! I want to lose X amount of weight by my 26th Bday 5/27/09. It is a large amount but i CAN and WILL do it. I might not have my friends as great encourager's but i have my online buddies and my sister Amanda. Ill keep you posted on my progress.

Love Chole

Melanie's graduation

I have some great news. My oldest sister Melanie graduated and got her GED last night! Yahoo. I am so proud of her finally doing this. It has been something she has wanted to complete for some time now and she finally stuck it out and accomplished a HUGE goal in her life. Next goal is either Dental Hygene school or Cosmetology school.

She got a scholarship to go to Hinds so she will become a college student next semester. I can remember my first day of college - nervous!! She will do fine though because she is such a people person.

I'll be posting some pictures of the new Graduate tonight.

CONGRATS big sis i am so proud of you! I love ya.
