Just Taking It Day by Day

It has only taken me a month to come and update!! Only a month huh?? I dont know if anyone will be reading this or not, but oh well!!





I think I had a bit of self-pity going on. Christmas was somewhat hard. Not unbearable, but still a bit hard. Overall thou, we had a great Christmas!! I started to post about it, but then got sidetracked, and never made it to get it done! So, therefore, still bad Darcie!! I did decide to go ahead and post what I had started...dont know if it will make much sense to anyone but me!! *LOL*





New Year's was good too, but once again, it was hard! Hard to leave the year of 2007. The "Year of Carli" as I have come to call it. I ended up falling asleep because I was so tired. I felt pretty bad though, I woke up 5 minutes before midnight. Mikaela was pretty excited, but I couldnt bring myself to get up out of bed.



Onto Mackenzie I suppose. We went last weekend, not this past one, but the one before, and made her a doggy from Build-A-Bear that we named Lucky. She is a pretty cute doggy!! Mikaela made a really cute doggy that is white with hearts all over it that she named Maddie. Carter made a monkey that he named Buddy and he dressed him as a firefighter. Keaton made a dog too, that was originally named Gizmo (or so the birth certificate says) but he later informed us his name was Chip! Which fits since he dressed him as a police officer!!



I had an appointment with the maternal-fetal dr today! All went really well!! Then I told them that my regular dr wanted me to ask them about getting 2 units of blood typed and crossed for when I have my c-section. I guess they thought that was odd...then I told them the reason was because of the Duffy antibody that I have. The nurse asked me if I was sure that I had the Duffy antibody...cuz that wasnt a good one to have. I told her I was pretty sure that is what it was called. So they look at my chart, and sure enough there it is!! I guess having this antibody can cause issues with the baby. I have to tell you that I am so glad I didnt know this before!! It can cause the baby to have anemia, and it can cause the baby to die. Yikes!! He said Mackenzie looks good thou! According to my due date, I am 29w1d. Kenzie is measuring a week ahead around 30 weeks. Her estimated weight as of today is 3lbs 7oz. Go my little piggy!! My regular dr wanted me to make sure that we were still on schedule for my March 17th c-section that I want. The maternal-fetal (MF) dr said all looks good for that!! I am so excited!! I will go back and see him at least one more time, just to make sure that Mackenzie still looks good. I will see him again February 25th!!

We went and got a new pack n play yesterday!! I am so excited about it!! I was originally going to get a really girly one, but changed my mind. I got the Rainforest one!! And I love it!! It was fun last nite, thinking about how Mackenzie will look in it!!

I also had an impulse buy yesterday. I bought a Sony Viao laptop. But I took it back to Best Buy today. Dont get me wrong, I really, really would love to have a laptop that is just mine, but I just couldnt justify the cost of it. Kinda funny explaining that to the guy at the return counter. I need to return my impulse buy. He laughed and told me that I will be back. I told him he was probably right!!

Well, I suppose that is a good start for now. I will try to make sure to post more often. I have quite a few thoughts going thru my head.
