So No sono!

I'm finding myself pretty sad at the moment. I went in to my midwife appointment and was very sad to find they wernt going to do a sonogram on me until I am 22 weeks. Looks like I have to wait another month. It's okay, I guess God only wants me to deal with one excitement at a time. Thats OK!!! I am posting a baby bump picture. This one isn't very good, but I had to wear the shirt Tristin got me with his allowance. It says "worlds coolest mom". We all know this to be true!!! :) I'm still pretty busy packing and cleaning for the move coming up in hopefully less than a week. I even tricked Tony. I will be cleaning the bathroom, and doing laundry while he is washing the dishes, and watching two out of three of our currently sick children. Please keep Tristin, Chris, and Jordin in your prayers. I do want to make one quick recommendation. DONT EVER TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO METHODIST FAMILY PRACTICE CENTER!!!! Not only do they seem to have trouble helping our little ones, but well, no negative posts so just take it from me. Going there, BAD idea!!! I'm currently on the outlook for anything to go in a home. Right now I dont care if anything matches. I do have a crib (minus mattress) for Jordin which is poopy brown, so me and mom are going to paint it white. WOO-Hoo craft project!!! Everything is moving along quite well with Star. I very much am starting to feel this will be my third boy. Why? Well, when Mary (my wonderful midwife) used the dopplar to listen to the heartbeat last Friday she was hearing more movement than heartbeat. Tristin and Chris where movers, and my little Jordy didnt move so much. My conclusion? Boy. Mom says dont base this off of the other pregnancies, but its SOOOOOOO hard not to. I cant feel any movement yet, but Mary says it shouldn't be too long now especially with how much Star moves. I also talked with Mary about birth control, and medicine for my ADHD since I cant concentrate on more than one thing for two seconds and as a result I get overwhelmed pretty easy. Well, here is the baby bump pic I promised:


I know I dont look very big, but when you cant see your feet anymore unless you lean forward you feel pretty big. Believe me. Well, thats all for now. I hope people comment on my post. Its something I look forward to. Much love to all from the Sinks Cottingham Clan.!!!

Two months too long!

Well hello there everyone!!! I am so sorry it has taken me so long to update. I have been really busy and really stressed out. We are finally coming to the point I think we are going to be able to move into our own home!! I called the IRS after reaching my boiling point (heres where being a hormonal pregnant lady comes in handy) crying. I was very lucky to speak with a very kind lady named Miss. Derrik. She filed whats called an economic hardship form for me, and informed me that by filing that form it gives the IRS one week to give me my money. It looks like everything will work out after all. Praise God!!! Tristin has started school. He does really well, although we are dealing with a bully problem. But I know everything will work out. I can say the teachers assistant seems to be on top of it. Oh, I musent forget to tell everyone that my baby Jordin cut her first two teeth about a week ago. I was so excited I went around telling everyone at Wal-Mart. Jordin did have to tell Mommy to calm down, but was biting me really neccessary? I go in for a midwife appointment this Friday. We are hoping that they will be able to tell me the sex of the baby as I will be 18 weeks. I'm not posting any pictures in this post because I'm hoping they do the sonogram so that I can post those pictures and of course an updated belly bump picture. I would give you one now, but I'm wearing a Mario Brothers one up shirt and a pair of sweats. Very comfy yes, fattering, NOT!!! I'm going through nesting syndrom. I am so exctied about moving into our own house that I'm already looking through books trying to find cheap craft ideas to decorate the house. Well, thats all for this post now. Sorry its so short. Tony had a tooth pulled, and Tristin is sick, plus I'm packing and cleaning, so busy busy busy. I'll post more this weekend. BYE!!!!!
