Baby update!

I have been suffering from the dumb sinus infection/cold/ whatever else is going around. I'm pretty sure I've had it all. And if you have kids and are a stay at home mom, this is sooo difficult not to mention frustrating to say the least. Trying to keep up with the house and making everyone else happy is hard when all you want to do is drink Robitussin and lay in bed and watch TV all day long. Hey! If your nose is stuffed up and can't even smell the garbage or dishes so what's the point??

I have been tempted to go to the doctor and see what's really wring with me but being pregnant you can't really take any meds anyway. I figure I'd be wasting my time and theirs. I did call however to ask a nurse what cold meds I can take.

Mean Nurse: "OK you can take Robitussin DM"

Me: "PM?!" (getting all excited that I may actually be able to get some sleep which hasn't been possible in oh like 3 days)

Mean Nurse: "NO. DM"

Me: "Can I take Tylenol PM to help me sleep" (Now I ask this because when I was pregnant with Xander my Nurse Practitioner said I can take it every night if I wanted to. And this was just for little aches and pains and insomnia)

Mean Nurse: "Um no. You can't. Sorry Robitussin. Robitussin DM is the only thing you can take"

End of convo. Mean nurse. Fine. I decided to follow orders and talk to my cute NP at my OB appointment and get her opinion.

WEDNESDAY FINALLY CAME! Now I can see my NP and ask all the questions I had asked my previous OB (not mentioning any names) but was told I should deal with it cause that's what I get for having a baby so close together. (not exact words mind you, but this is how it sounded)

Gained a few pounds and I now weigh 129.2 lbs. I am feeling it!

Heather saw me and gave me a hug. um major difference! Soo glad I went back to her. There's just something about a girl to talk about having kids. Men have no freaking idea what you feel. Yes, I was able to talk to her about all my questions and aches ans pains. She actually listened to me. Assured me I could take Tylenol PM! Hello sleep tonight. OH I'm so excited!

I laid back on the table so that she could get the heart beat ♥. I lifted my shirt to expose my growing belly and she immediately said "wow you're growing girl." Yes, I am!!! I started growing soo early this time around. 12 weeks to be exact. But I carry all in my stomach so I'm glad I don't get huge all over. She said I need a belly belt. Gotta look into that for sure!

After I sat up I told her how my due date kept changing and she asked what my first date was. I said July 31. She said well that what we'll go with. I just gained 5days again! Then she said "And we'll deliver you a week early too." This is because Xander was so big. I'm so excited to know that I have a plan once again and know pretty much when baby Zach will be here!

Spring Fever

This winter has been crazy good and for the first time in a while I felt good enough to get outside. So, I took Kymber out to play with her chalk and to get some some sun and get out all that 3 yr old energy that's been driving me crazy!! I'm so excited for the spring!

It's another Boy!

Yes, we finally found out that we're having another little boy! Xander and him will be such good friends because they will be about 14 months apart! Kymber is not so thrilled however but I'm sure it will wear off. I'm a little bummed that they're born in different seasons because I have to get creative and start all over on clothes for him, but it'll be fun!

New Carts for the 10 items or less shopper

I'm sure everyone has noticed these cute small new shopping carts that stores are now starting to provide for shoppers. Convenient they are! It sure beats lugging around the hand held baskets for the shoppers who only has but a few items.

Today was the first day in a long time where I actually felt good enough to make something for dinner besides get on the phone and order the usual pepperoni pizza with bread sticks. 2 orders if I'm feeling ambitious. I have had this craving for some fried chicken lately so I thought today would be the day! Soon as Alan got home I made a beeline to Macey's. Not my usual store. I usually go to Walmart (which I always end up with more than what I actually went for) day i was determined to get my stuff for fried chicken and leave with nothing else.

I grabbed one of the big carts and then decided I'll be ambitious and grab one of those cute little convenient carts they now have. Not 2 min into the store..BAM! Stupid bar at the bottom hit my shin. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. And what do you think happened next? Yes, not even down the next isle\, when...BAM! Again. Yes, same stinking spot. I now have this lovely dark purple bruise on my shin.

SO...as convenient as they I do not think I will ever be grabbing one of those carts EVER AGAIN!

Kymber's Joe Dirt

Yes. It finally happened to me. The moment I thought would never happen. I knew I would be cursed with this only because I was known for doing this many times as a kid. Not only mine, but my little sisters as well.

Monday was quite a day in our house. Kids ornery galore and just plain on one. When 8:30 came around I was more than excited to put them to bed. peace and quiet. Famous last words!

After laying on the couch for a while I realized that our dumb heater pilot light was out. Where was the lighter?? Right. In Kymber's room on top of her dresser out of reach. "Great, I finally got her to sleep...now it'll wake her up!" I went in there anyway, can anyone really survive without a heater in middle of February? I think not.

I go in her room and what do ya know...Kymber is sitting strait up in bed and started whining and saying "Im sorry mommy!" At first I thought "Well she knows she should be sleeping..." I opened the door wider and caught a glimpse of her bangs. My gut dropped.

You're prob wondering what I saw....well, this is what it was...
So from start to finish my cousin Amy came to the rescue. Not till the next day of course...


Now I cannot believe I would even think about posting these, but Ive decided to humiliate myself and post my lovely hair cutting days as I kid... DO NOT LAUGH. Just say...she has a pretty smile and I will accept that.
