Pool Day!

The other day we all went down to my sister's pool. We had a blast. B got some water wings from his cousin and was off in the kiddie pool floating around. He didn't want to be touched he just wanted to do his own thing. He would walk on his hands and let his feet float behind him, occasionally he would drink water but overall was pretty good at keeping his head up. He also has no fear of water. He would just walk up to he edge and jump right in. We had to keep a very close eye on him. They also had fountains at the pool and he loved running through those. Thank God the water was pretty warm because I too jumped in to cool off. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the pool wasn't all that busy. Prefect!

SSSHHHH it's a Secret.

I hate not telling our families the big news. It kills me every time we get together because I just want to blurt it out. Luckily when I am caving Mike is there to stop me and when Mike starts to cave I am there to stop him. We both agreed it would be best to wait and see a heartbeat before we told our families. We would like to get B man a shirt that says "I'm going to be a big brother", and see how long it takes people to notice, but it might just get blurted out anyways because we are so excited. We are also so nervous. Nervous about affording another baby, taking care of another baby, keeping this baby inside til its time, and all the other stuff that runs through your head.





So far ...





I am 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant





I am feeling tired and hungry all the time. I am emotional and sometimes irrational (sorry Mike). I feel bloated and fat already and I know that my belly button will stick out by the the end of the first trimester (its already pretty flat). I am also feeling very scared for morning sickness, if its anything like last time, I am screwed. Zofran is already on order. The knowing what is coming (morning sickness) is very stressful and I am trying to spend some good quality time with B because I probably won't be here soon.





My next ultrasound will be on the 4th of July and if all goes well I will tell my family. My first Dr. appoint is the 29th of July.





Stick baby stick!!!

A Father's Day I Won't Forget

By the time you read this the reality will have sunk in... I'm Pregnant...again! Mike and I have been trying for 9 months to have another baby. I'm not going lie, it has been frustrating. This time I decided to pee on those darn ovulation sticks everyday and make sure our timing was perfect because honestly at this point thethought of medication was becoming an option. So we did. And now we are! I knew that based off of when the sticks said I was going to ovulate that I could test father's day weekend and thought what a perfect present for my husband. So Saturday morning I got up earlier so that I could make Mike breakfast and snuck down stairs to pee on a pregnancy stick. I wasn't having high hopes, but did it anyways. I sat there and watched the dye move up the stick until it had completely saturated the control line. Looking before it I saw stark WHITE, nothing. Bummed out I went to make B's bottle and said to myself "why did you test on father's day?! Now your whole day is going to be ruined." I went back to throw out the stick and there it was, A SECOND LINE! I started shaking uncontrollably, at this point I had seen nothing but negative tests for 9 months. I started crying and then realized, I better test again to make sure this isn't a fluke. I snuck into our room for another stick, looking at Mike sleeping, I wanted to jump on him and scream, but I decided to wait a make sure. Sure enough another positive test!





I wrapped up the test in packing tape, in the shape of a gift card and finished making breakfast and getting B man up. I told Mike to get dress and come down stairs because I had a surprise for him. He came down and saw his breakfast waiting, then I said "close your eyes and stick out your hands because I have another surprise for you". So he did and opened his cards. Then I said the same thing, so he held out his hands and closed his eyes and I set the test in his hand (he thought it was a gift card). He looked at it and didn't say anything, just stared for like 10 seconds and then I said "Happy Father's day, I'm pregnant!!!!!!!". He started smiling and said "I thought this was one of you ovulation sticks, and I was going to say its definitely negative." We laughed and I cried a little.





So here we go again! Hopefully!

Picking Up Chicks!

No, not B man... me! Although B does the leg work for me, but once his job is done I take over. I'm talking about meeting other moms at the park, mall, or around town. I'm trying to make friends since one of my "besties" skipped town. It's not so easy meeting other women your age and in your same scenario when you don't go to school and you've exhausted all your options at work. Church would be a great place to meet people if it weren't for the fact that there are about 8,000 people that attend your church, no joke. So I resort to parks and play areas. The other day a met a girl with two small boys, her youngest is 2. She seems really nice and is a stay-at-home mom which is even better (I hate when they work during the week because that is when I'm off). We have been talking for awhile and plan on meeting up again.
