There is no "written" rule your socks have to match, I suppose.

~Insert quick back story here~
Hi, I am Supermom. I have been a blogging mom for over 3 years now, at various sites online. I am married to HB and we have 3 (almost 4~she will be here in 13 days) children. H, B2 and Lil O. The new one will be known as Baby M, I think.
I purchased my own (dot).com name awhile back and I am FINALLY putting it to use. I have been COPYING & PASTING for DAYS from my WordPress Blog to my own (dot).com name.
Here is a picture of me, I just took it for your viewing pleasure. Yes, it is just my belly. Trust me, that is all you would look at anyway, well my belly or my boobs. So, I am showing you what I'd rather you look at. You are probably thinking, like everyone else, OMG, that poor woman looks like she is going to BUST open at any moment. Well, I am not. My EDD is April 21. Soooooo........

Well, that is a quick Bio for now. Please come back and see what crazy things are going on in our house and feel free to comment. I could be your next BFF!!!!! :)

Okay, let's start my very first OFFICIAL BLOG ON The Adventures Of Supermom!!!!!

Right now I taking off my Supermom Cape and throwing it onto the ground. Jumping up and down on it while saying a few foul words. Okay, maybe more than a few foul words. I am not WORTHY of such a title. A title I gave myself but none the less. I AM SUPERMOM. Cape and all. I am still working on the invisible jet though. I don't think minivans come in that color.

I have been neglecting my Lil O, ME and the unborn child I am carrying. I have been a focused crazy man woman trying to change all my archives over to this name. I WILL NOT MENTION I STILL HAVE 3 MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!! Be patient with me please. It's rather annoying having to go to every blog I have written for over a year and COPY & PASTE into my new blog. Without forgetting to change the date as well. I have been living off coffee, banana moon pies and Little Debbie Oatmeal Cakes. Ummm, dammit, now my husband HB will know the whole REAL truth of the junk food in the house. Oh well.... He can start organic boot camp after the baby gets here. ha ha It's all in good fun!

My two oldest kids just had Spring Break and glad to be in school. You have to have that social life yanno?

As for Lil O I have been discussing fashion sense with her. She has a SOCK FETISH for sure. She changes socks several times during the day. SEVERAL TIMES! She doesn't even care if the socks match. I guess at 3 years old it wouldn't be a focal point for me as well. When I have better things to do. Like: color, dress like a princess, play with the toy kitchen, watch certain shows, sleep and eat. So socks matching isn't her thing. At least she has dressing like a princess down pat.

I had better go and do a 10 minute tidy so it looks like I have been doing other things BUT C & P old blog entries. ~and enjoy a banana moon pie of course~

Picking up my Supermom Cape. Dusting it off knowing I can throw it in the wash to use later on in the day when it is needed the most.

No your brother doesn't have a baby in his belly...

…only girls can have a baby in their belly.

~About a month ago Lil O started telling everyone she had a baby in her belly. We haven’t prompted her or asked her if she had a baby in her belly. It is just something she started on her own.~ So, she will walk around asking us to feel her baby move. It is cute.

I heard her ask her brother this past week, “Do you have a baby in your belly?”.

Yesterday, I went for my appointment and ultrasound. I have lost a couple pounds so I weigh 177. Which means I lost 2 pounds from last week. Or I just hadn’t emptied my bladder before I was weighed last time. ha ha We had our ultrasound and everything look great. There were no Downs Syndrome markers and she is bigger than she should be at this point in my pregnancy. My actual due date is April 21 and the scan showed one of April 10. Just by her measurements. Her guesstimate weight is 7 pounds 11 ounces already. What can I say? I grow them big. I have 2 1/2 weeks to go, so no telling what her weight will end up being. He did say if my labor were to start, they wouldn’t try to stop it.

During the ultrasound we saw her just sucking with her mouth then we saw her thumb in her mouth!!!! I guess that is what you do in the womb, its not like you have many more options. Then we saw her yawn….awwwwwww.

A profile picture with her thumb in her mouth:

After our scare the other night, I do have my suitcase ready though.

Today is going to be a L A Z Y day here. IT BETTER BE ANYWAY! I got up and made sausage, biscuits and gravy. I have been craving them, and have been to TWO different places to be disappointed, so I made them myself! They were YUMMY!!! Even my gravy was perfect. I am a ROCKSTAR I suppose.

B2 is going skating today and H is plugged to the IPOD and ignoring the rest of the world. Lil O is being 3 of course.

I am just trying to stop from being frustrated. There is so much I want to do but unable to do it. I cannot stand that. UGH! Anyway….

I am off to enjoy my cold cup of coffee and see what I can get into.

Happy Valentine's Day

~the day that poor innocent boyfriends and husbands better not forget!~ LOL I have already given everyone their Valentines and they were all happy. I should have taken a picture of the table they woke up to this morning. But I was half asleep setting it up during the night when I made a bathroom run.

I got an email yesterday asking how I was. To be honest I am a mess. Not only taking care of a sick baby with the flu, then getting it myself hasn’t helped the situation. I went for my 30 week check-up yesterday. I weigh 167 1/2. I looked around making sure a doctor didn’t have his foot on the scale. They are known for that. No doctor. I think I look fabulous though. I only wish I felt it.

As time gets closer I am getting restless. Unable to sleep mostly. I would KILL for a good night’s rest. We have 8 1/2 weeks to go until she will be born. I’ll know her exact ‘birth’day in 2 weeks when I go back.

The fear of the unknown is coming back into my mind. I am a member of a Downs Syndrome board and that helps me some. I have met other women who have chosen to wait just like us until the birth to know if their baby has DS. I had my ‘breakdown’ at the doctors yesterday. It made me feel better. The midwife was so kind and understanding. She called that day for us ~the day I have my cesarean~ a bittersweet moment. I hadn’t thought of that until she said that. It is true though. All of the unknown will be known that day.

I try to tell people and tell myself that no matter what, everything will be fine. But until you are in my shoes, our shoes, you cannot understand how we actually feel about all this. It is terrifying. I am not worried about my family and friends, we have so much love that it will pour all over the place and into the outside world around us. I fear how she would be treated by people that aren’t sure what DS really is. Long ago they used to put DS kids in institutions to live out their life. How tragic. To do something like that. But it’s the unknown people do not like. I am so glad people are educated on the matter now.

So I am all set to say DOWNS SYNDROME ROCKS even if she doesn’t have it because after all the reading I have been doing~~I have found these children to be special gifts from God. Is she does, I will be the best Downs Syndrome advocate you ever met. Anyway…

So just know I have lots of tears these days and will until she is born. I so long for that day to see her crying face.

No One Knows, Yet Everyone Knows

Know what I mean? The first person I told was my sister. Then I spoke with my Mamaw. My friend Tammy. Then my dad. It was nice to tell someone other than keeping it between me and B. I guess in a way I was afraid to say it out-loud. For fear of breaking down. Crazy huh? But it was hard keeping it to myself–I wanted the comfort. I wanted someone to reassure me and tell me everything would be okay.

In my mind I am a pretty healthy 33 year old woman and my husband is a fit 44 year old man. I have had 3 healthy children. Weighing in at 8 lbs 12 oz, 9 lbs 13 oz & then 7 lbs 12 oz. I had no worries about them. I dealt with kidney stones in ALL three pregnancies. That was pretty much my only complaint. A painful one I might add. Thankfully they give wonderful drugs for those that let you hallucinate in your hospital bed. BONUS: They send you home with them too.

I had no worries about getting pregnant again and having another baby. I was thrilled at the thought and never thought we would finally decide on when to try again. I remember taking the test one morning. In my granny gown. Then running into the living room before B went to work to tell him our good news. Just what we wanted! Another baby to join or happy family.

So once it became clear to me “Yes this is happening, you are not in a dream”, I began to research. I searched the web of course. Read lots of factual things. Joined a blog group about it where I could speak with other moms that were waiting just like me. Bought a couple books. To which I read the first couple days.

So here I am. Sitting at the computer on a very cold Sunday night hoping for some snow. What are you trying to tell us you ask? Last night at my B’s Christmas party someone approached us about the fact not stated yet. It took me off guard. I wasn’t prepared for that. Wasn’t prepared to be spoken to about it. Well, other than people that I knew in a personal way. Hence: No One Knows, Yet Everyone Knows.

I am opening myself up for peoples comments. And advice I am sure. I don’t want anyone’s sympathy. We are really fine. :) There are much worse things that could happen to a family. Its just the unknown that terrifies me the most.

Two weeks ago during a routine 20 week ultrasound a tech noted something about our baby girl. Her nuchal fold was thicker than normal. This is possibly a sign for Downs Syndrome. She said she wasn’t worried because it was a 2nd trimester ultrasound. It was pretty much all a blur to me after she said Downs Syndrome. The tech noted no other ’soft signs’. But after we left–it hit me. Those words. Left us thinking. Wondering. The unknown. I didn’t want any tests. We will love our daughter no matter what. It is a waiting game now. We will have to wait until she is born to know for sure if she indeed has DS.

I prayed to God. I do it more often now. But not for the ‘perfect’ baby. Just my baby girl. His Gift to us. I pray for her to be carried to term. Be a great weight. Breath on her own. No major health issues. Most importantly to be able to come home when the time comes for us to go home.

I know nothing is certain and we will not know until April. I am okay with that. No matter what–we will be okay.

So there you have it.
