The rocking chair and one for him when he gets bigger--it was actually mine and Heidi's when we were little.

Our weekend
Friday the Anahuac Panthers won their first district game, which was also homecoming, against Buna 26-14. We are very proud of them!
Due to the win George was off Sunday and we got to spend some time together. It was very nice! We went out to eat in Baytown and had a fun date at the car wash! hehe! Then, we went to Lowes and spent the rest of the day working on Kyle's room. We put some tint on his windows to prevent the sun from being so bright in the mornings. We picked up his diaper changing station and put it together and then hung his name above it. We also bought some Faux wood blinds to go in his room, but I have to take them and get them cut down some, they were just a little too wide. The room looks great. Next we need curtains. Here are some pics of our progress.
Oh, and I finally called the Dr. office today and they said my labs came back normal. Which was hard for me to believe since I still feel so exhausted all the time, but I guess that is just normal for the third trimester. We are still waiting on the results of the gestational diabetes test though. Kyle is doing good-still kicking and moving like crazy. He likes the sound of his Daddy's voice, music, and when I sing to him.

Doing Better
Well, I am feeling a little better. Maybe I just needed a couple days rest. I went back to the Dr. yesterday and they released me to go back to work. I am still supposed to be on modified bedrest while at home, and gotta try to eat six smalls meals a day, even when working. Easier said than done thats for sure. I still get tired very easily, but now that I am starting the third trimester that is normal. I had an ultrasound yesterday and Kyle looks great! He already looks so big! The good news is that my placenta did move up and so we dont have to worry about a previa any longer! Whoo! One less thing to worry about. My next ob appt is schedueld for October 9th. None of my blood work had come back yet, so they are going to call me and let me know the results when they are available.
George is doing good. This week is homecoming and we are playing Buna. This is also our first district game, I think. We lost bad to Splendora last week, so we are hoping for a good comeback against Buna. George's finger is still giving him some problems...don't know if I ever mentioned that he fractured his finger playing quaterback with the kids. He said today that maybe the bad luck streak had been because he hasn't been able to wear his aggie ring! Haha! I bet that is it. But, his finger is still to swollen to be able to wear it tomorrow night. Hope all is well with you!

Happy Birthday to me....ok, so I am 25 years old on the 25th, and 26 weeks pregnant. Kyle is doing great, but Mommy hasn't been so good the last couple of days. I have never felt so exhausted in my life! I thought I might just being coming down with the flu or something, but no fever or anything. Then, I started having frequent "spells" that consist of sweating, dizziness, and feeling like I am going to pass out if I don't lay down. I called in sick to work Saturday and Sunday, because I just didn't have any energy. It was like I couldn't even pick my head up off the pillow. Then when I started feeling bad again today I decided to call my OB.
I went to the office and they did alot of bloodwork and decided to put me on bedrest for the rest of this week. They are trying to rule out toxemia, gestational diabetes, or maybe just anemia. The results of the bloodwork will be in Wednesday and then they should be able to tell me something. So, until then I have to be on bedrest! **boring*** Please keep us in your prayers! Thanks,
The Taylors

Bursting with Anticipation!!
Yes, my friend worded it perfectly. I am bursting with anticipation. My favorite thing to do now is go into Kyle's nursery and rock in the rocking chair and sing along to a lullaby CD I bought. Not sure if he likes my singing or not, because he does kick alot with the rocking.... I talk to him constantly. It is a cool feeling to know that I am never really alone now. If I forget a little kick is the only reminder I need!
I can't believe I am only gonna be 26 weeks tomorrow! It seems like things have slowed down. Now that I can feel Kyle moving so much it is so very real and I just want to see and hold him! I know, George said "calm down, we will have plenty of time with him when he gets here." I am not miserable or anything, (knock on wood)I am just so ready! My ankles are not even swollen now and I feel great. Just big,slow, and hungry! LOL! But, pregnancy so far has been fun and everything I expected. I get to rest alot and no one complains about it! And, so many more people talk to me when I am out, just asking about my soon to be baby. At first it was hard getting used to feeling like I am being lazy or letting other people do things, but now I am enjoying it! (guess I better not get used to it huh! LOL!!) Plus, having a little "belly table" can be very convient at times.
So, 14 weeks to go, 98 days of waiting...guess I can take it. In the mean time I just love on and rock all the little babies at the hospital, with the exciting realization that I will have one of my very own soon! Yay!

WHOO!!! GATORFEST!!
This weekend was gatorfest in the Wack. We had such a great time! George had to work alot due to the loss Thursday night, so that was disappointing, but we still got to spend some time with him. Mom and Vince came in on Thursday and went to watch George coach (bad game to catch!). Then, Friday George worked and Mom, Vince, and I went shopping. I got some new maternity clothes from them for my birthday. We also went to Baby's R us and Registered! This was so much fun...and now I am finally done registering.We are registered at Baby's R Us, Target, and jcp.com. Heidi and Kirk got in late Friday night and we all stayed up and visited. It was so nice to catch up!
Then, Saturday we hit the gatorfest! Jimmy and Natalie were here too and we were excited to spend time with them also. We all touched live gators and Vince, Heidi, and Kirk rode in the air boats. We had good food (gator, roasted corn, sno cones, funnel cakes, fried pickles....a pregnant woman's utopia!!! LOL!) and shopped the vendors. Much fun! I got a painted tattoo on my arm that said Kyle! Of course, this started a new rumor I am sure...since people weren't sure why it didn't say George! Ha!
Saturday night we went to the concert and heard Corey Morrow and Roger Craiger. They were good and we saw alot of friends that we hadn't seen in awhile, and hopefully I made some new ones that I can start hanging out with....One bad thing did happen this week though! :( My ankles started swelling! We call them cankles! I have been trying to stay off of them and they look much better now. Kyle loved the music so much I thought he was going to jump right out of my tummy!!!
Sunday we put up the border in Kyle's nursery! It looks so cute! I am so excited...I can't wait for him to be here! I had such a good time this weekend, but was definately tuckered out when everyone left! Thank goodness I was off today so I could rest!
Oh, and my Nanny had to go in the hospital this weekend. We aren't sure exactly what is wrong yet, but please send up some prayers for her! I would be devastated to lose her....she is my Nanny!! Well, that catches things up. Can't wait for my next ob appt on Oct. 5th...Here are some pics from the weekend!

Catching you up on the Panthers...
The Anahuac Panthers are now 1-2 for the season. I haven't blogged on the last two games, so I thought I would catch up. We played Fort Bend Baptist at home on the 8th and we won! Our offense seemed to really wake up and the recievers were able to hold on to the ball this time! George was very proud, his defense once again held them to a small number of yards. The final score was 33-7.
Then, we get to this weeks game. George would rather forget about this one! We played Thurdsday night (due to gatorfest weekend) in Deerpark against Hitchcock. Our team seemed to play with no emotion or want to win. It was like they had never played football! The final score was 40 to 6....not a very exciting game to say the least. But, we aren't giving up on them. Next week will be better! Go Panthers!!!

24 week appointment today
Today was our 24 week ob appointment. Everything is going great. Kyle's heart rate was again in the 150's and strong. He is kicking and punching like a pro now, so much in fact that Mommy is having a little trouble sleeping, but still thinks it is so fun to feel!! I have gained a total of 7.5lbs, and the Dr. says that is great. I am not having any swelling so far, and my blood pressures are within normal limits.
My next appointmet will be October 4th. This will be the big appointment! I will have my glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. They will do more bloodwork to make sure I am not anemic. I will have another ultrasound to mainly view my placenta and see if it has moved up some. Then, I will have an antibody screen and get my first (hopefully only) Rhogam injection. Then after that they said I will start coming to the Dr. every two weeks. I get to have a 4D ultrasound done at my 32 week appt, which I can't wait for that! SO COOL! Well, just wanted to update you all on the pregnancy. Here is what pregnancy.org says is happening with Rookie right now at 24 weeks--
Your baby weighs about 1.2 pounds and is about 8.4 inches from crown to rump (or just under 12 inches from head to heel). His or her lungs have started secreting surfactant, the substance that keeps the moist, interior surface of the lungs from sticking together; and he or she is practicing breathing. Your baby's eyes are also watching for light and its ears are listening to your heart beat and your stomach growl.
