38+ Weeks - Feb 25th

Anytime now! It's getting more and more scary as you just don't know when it's going to hit! My due date according to my chart is March 9th, so that means from today, it's only 10 more short days to due date. So these pictures I have been taking on Saturday's, in which I thought was my week bump ups, are actually a little passed that time. So this pic is 38 and 2 days. Every day counts as he just gets bigger and bigger. they say he's growing 1 ounce per day! So every week, the guys gaining over 1/2 lb! Dr. says he's probably about 6 - 6 1/2 lbs right now (I asked if she could tell).

Sadly, our furniture is not in, and will not be in until.....end of April! Can you believe?? I know they screwed up. We're working on the details right now. But word to the wise, don't ever order from Simon's in Rochester. Every person I know who has been pregnant or is pregnant, is getting (bleeped) over by them. Wrong color, damaged goods, late delivery...etc... Do not go there. Sad part is they know they have a niche. There is only Babies R us and Burlington other than them.

I've decided to teach my last PiYo class this Wed. Passing the PiYo torch onto Char. I just don't want to put her in a bad spot by calling her last second when I go. It's only fair to the students and to Char. So I need to force myself to rest anyway. It's just so hard to chill. So I will be officially done teaching this Wed, at 39 weeks prego. I should get some of my sewing projects done anyway.

We will be delivering at Highland Hospital, 1000 South Ave, Rochester, NY. For family and friends who need directions:

I90 to Exit 45, 490 West ~13 miles, Goodman Street Exit 17 inner loop, LEFT S. Goodman, RIGHT Rockingham St., LEFT South Ave.

Until next time...who knows WHAT I'll be posting, another picture of me...or a picture of the new expanded family. =)

Feb 11th- 36 weeks!

Well, I finally believe my husband and others who have said having a baby is expensive. Wow-wee! We finished getting everything we will need to get and have it all spread out waiting in the "Dallas" room. That's our second bedroom filled with, can you guess? Our furniture was suppose to be delivered within 8-10 weeks. We are now at 12 weeks waiting, and they said it's going to be another 4 weeks. Well, I better go pay them a visit and get a little something out of this. They don't want to have a crazy pregnant woman running after them.

We didn't hit the record with WOWY (online beach body gym) on Feb 11th. However, we managed to have 150 people turbojamming at the same time! That's exciting! What's even more exciting is that Chalene will be on QVC hopefully at the end of this month. This is fantastic! Turbo will be everywhere! Just in time for me to get back into doing certifications. My first certification will be in the Albany NY area in May of 2006. So check out the calendar for when it gets scheduled. Gotta get those round workshops in as well as earn some free rounds by referring others to get Turbo certified! So I would LOVE for you all to start passing the word.

Today my friend Carol and I decided it was time to get a picture of us together. She is my faithful turbo buddy. We are only 1 week apart (she's 35 weeks). She is having a girl and naming her Rose.

Here is a picture taken just before we started TurboKick/Pump at the gym this morning. She has been SO awesome doing turbo right along with me every week! I tell ya, anyone who's looking to get pregnant, get into Turbo, it will keep you happier and fit! She hasn't said much of any complaints with her pregnancy. Mine has pretty much been free sailing as well with some exceptions of sciatica, and the lil' guy starting to drop.

I'm dropping my classes down from 5 TurboKick's a week to 3 Turbo's a week. I'll continue to teach the 3 Turbos and the 3 PiYo classes at the Greece Women's club. I just want to be sure I'm not overdoing it and to be smart. I just don't want to stop and love to feel like I'm superwoman...super"turbo"woman..LOL...but again, I do have to be smart....or at least try to be. =)

POST SHOWER-hose the house down

We had our Co-ed Baby Shower this past weekend, night party. It was a great time with lots of great fun! My husband surely had a great time getting my brother in laws participating in some good ol fashion "fun". I was so happy to have my entire family here at my shower. This is a very RARE occasion. Last time was my wedding, but they HAD to for that. Most of my family lives about 2 1/2 -3 hours away from me. So I was so glad to see we could ALL get together. We took this time to take a family shot....another rare thing...to get everyone looking and smiling at the same time. Wish we knew little Mikey had a toy!

We also took the opportunity to get a "Jones Girl" (4 of us sisters) picture as well. From Left to Right: Denise 38, Connie 35, Christine 33, and Dawn 37. Connie is my pregnant sister in crime. She is 4 months pregnant with her 4th child. You would never know it.

Everyone outdid themselves and we really appreciate the support and friendships we have. My husband as well outdid himself. He bought me a ring for the birth of his first born son. Let's all cross our fingers that lil' Johnny comes out in March. He bought a ring with Johnny's birthstone, aquamarine.
