5:21 AM...
It is now 5:21 AM and we are getting ready for the hospital. I had to come to the computer to watch Williams' pre-arrival video. I won't lie to you - it did get me feeling a little emotional. I am still hard core though, BBCDO will have a new member soon. I will keep everyone posted through out the day. Keep those prayers coming.
Dwayne Aka Ismail the Great.
THANKS EVERYONE....
Only a few days until baby!
It's not time yet!

Bad mom!
Baby update
How much longer????
He politely tells me "Well Sheliza, it is different when you are 20 and having a baby versus 34 and having your third one" He then explains that my body has stretched out a couple times prior so this is why I feel so much.
Hmmm, I guess he told me I was a stretched out old hag, right?!
I know I only have 46 days to go. I try not to be a big baby...really, I do!
Daddy's the man!
Of course he has to do his Super Dad pose to show off his hard work. Boy, you sure can hurt yourself with the tools they provide inside the box for you!
Baby news
I went to see the doc this morning for my routine visit. I am now almost 30 weeks along. We have chosen to have a c-section with this baby since I had one with my last child. Our delivery date is set to welcome William into the world on March 19! I chose this time because my kids will be off from school for Spring Break and I sure could use their helping hands during my first week of recovery. They are so thrilled and can't wait to see their new baby brother. I will have another ultrasound in 2 weeks and the whole family will attend. I am doing so well and I thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this amazing journey.
Happy Hour Addiction
We found a baby name
- If I have to call the name Dwayne for two members in my household, I will lose it!
- Dwayne (daddy) gets in the most trouble in the house so I do not want to yell at Dwayne and the poor baby thinks he is the one in trouble.
- 2 Dwaynes???? Oh no way! I will have to be committed somewhere or heavily medicated!
We played around with names and I kept picking very standard and simple names that would hold up well in the corporate world. Daddy on the other hand picked interesting names like "Shabazz", "Jehovah", "Josiah" and a variety of others that could potentially cause the boy to have trouble boarding a plane! The girls and I came up with William Anthony Ismail. There is no way you can mess that up. Dwayne was against it for a while but the name has grown on him and he refers to our baby now as William or Will. So we have decided to go with that.
Pregnancy update
Happy New Year to all and more updates to come....
6 months pregnant
Things I miss most
- Starbucks. I know the difference between decaf and regular so there is no tricking me.
- Aleve and Advil. Tylenol is like candy to me.
- Allegra D, I sure could use one right now!
- Beer and Margaritas...especially on date night at a sports bar.
- Complaining about my "fat" belly.
- Wearing normal clothing.
- Climbing stairs with ease.
- Playing (badly) volleyball, badminton, or basketball with the girls outside.
- Cutting grass. One of my twisted obsessions, I LOVE it!
- Lifting things without my family screaming at me for being hard headed.
Other than those things, I really am enjoying my pregnancy. I am enjoying the attention and care I get from even strangers in the stores. My husband has been showing a 'sensitive side' that he will deny in a minute! I feel pretty this time around. My family is spoiling me. I get many more foot and shoulder massages. I get to sit and watch nonsense on TV with my legs propped up while eating whatever I want at that time. I love getting phone calls from all my friends and family just to check on me (it means a lot).
I think I can handle pregnancy for a few more months! ;)
