Sick

So morning sickness is kicking my butt. I hate this. I would rather deal with labor any day over this crap. I have no energy, and constantly nauseous and not to mention the puking. Sorry if I made anyone feel gross there. Labor for me is a total of a few hours long and only about an hour of intense can't see straight pain. I am 7.5 weeks today and I am hoping that this only lasts til 13 weeks like it did with Zach instead of 21 weeks like it did with Jessie and Ryan.
Not only am I not feeling well but Zach and Ryan and James are not feeling well also. This past weekend James came with antibiotic and decongestant because he has a sinus infection. Also about a week ago Zach started to cough a tiny bit. But it wasn't until last weekend that he started coughing more and also with a stuffy nose. And then on Monday afternoon he wakes up from his nap barking and wheezing. Croup again. I didn't have any Prednisone left from when he had it last (he gets croup about once a winter) so we had to make an apt for him on Tuesday. So Ryan is sounding better, Zach gets a squirt of decongestant stuff up his nose about twice a day to help with the snot, and I have to constantly be munching on something to help my stomach from getting totally empty and feeling even worse. But since I have no energy, and nothing actually seems appetizing, I spend most of the day not feeling well. Sigh... I can't wait for all of this to be over.

surprise!!!!!!

Jim and I got quite the surprise recently. We are pg again! yup.. #5 for us. Crazy huh? This one was totally unexpected. I was even thinking the other day that maybe it would be nice to be done. Then I realized that I might be late. Thinking maybe I'm just off... but I went out and got a test anyway. So I peed and was still thinking I'm wasting money cause it's going to say neg and then I will start the next morning. But nope- it said pregnant!
So I figured out my dd was 10/10. Ry was due 10/4 and Zach was due 10/15 so I'm guessing this one will be right inbetween Ry and Zach's bdays (the 10th and the 28th). Hopefully it will be a girl this time, since this is def our last. I am already starting to show a bit, and I do feel sick already too. But please pray for us still because I do have a history of mc's early on but I think I am pretty much past my scary point. Plus the fact that I am feeling sick reassures me even though I hate feeling this way. With my mc's I never got to the sick point. Anyway... If it's a girl we are going to use the girl name we had since I was pg with Ryan and if it's a boy we can't decide on anything but I would like to use William in there somewhere since that was my grandpa's name. But I hope it's a girl since so far boy naming seems to hard! We can't agree on anything. lol

My gradfather passed away

So... emotions are going is all sorts of directions. This man and my grandmother helped raise my sister and I for a good portion of our youth because my mom worked. I was more beat up about her passing about 14 years ago because it was fresh from being around her so much. Plus her passing was pretty sudden. My grandpa has had dimentia for the past few years so he didn't really seem like the man I grew up with. He had pneumonia back in December and has been in and out of the hospital and nursing homes since. He was just recently battling a blood infection. My mom called me on Sunday to let me know he had passed early that morning. The viewings are tomorrow at Riggs Funeral Home in Lacey from 2-4 and 7-9. The funeral service is on Thursday, same place, at 10 am. here is a link to his obituary- http://www.legacy.com/app/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=123923864

Forget SAHM (Stay at Home Mom), I'm a Mousewife!

So my sister calls me this morning and said she knows what I am. A mousewife. Check it out! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1127353/The-rise-mousewife-How-mothers-home-using-computers-beat-recession.html True, because I am doing a mystery shop today even.
On a side note- who's ready for the Superbowl? I am! I'm also sad that it will be the last of the season though. What will I watch on Sunday's now?

Just Something Cute

Check this boy out. He's too funny. He takes this thing out of the closet all the time and wants to play it anytime he hears a song on a show or sometimes even when no song is on. Not sure what is going on with the sound here but you can still appreciate it.

So Sorry!!

I know, I know! I have been terrible about keeping this up to date. I will try to be better. Honestly, though, not much has happened that was truly worthy of sharing with the world. We had a game night last Saturday with some friends and that was a lot of fun. This weekend coming up we have plans to go to The Franklin Institute to see the Chronicles of Narnia exhibit and then our annual Super Bowl party. I can post after those things happen. I have mostly just been on Facebook wasting time. lol We are selling Girl Scout cookies... I have been using the new CrockPot cook book my mom got me for my birthday to make some dinners. Did I mention in my last post about the CrockPot Lil' Dipper? She got me that for my birthday too and I used that to make some yummy spinach dip for game night. Ummm... I can't think of much else. SO- instead of rambling on and on I will end it here and go get some sleep. Yes, it really is 2:18 AM. Thank you Tiff for keeping me up. ;) jk

New Year, New 'Do

So I got a haircut. I wanted to write about this earlier but, hey, I'm a busy gal. This was a birthday present to myself. I am officially 29 now. I had a nice birthday. Jim and I went out to dinner, he got me a dozen roses and the next night we all went ice skating. He also got me a Giants shirt (don't even mention how they lost- grrrr), one of those giant cupcake molds and a Slanket. Like a Snuggly but nicer. :) My mom got me a Lil' Dipper Crock Pot, a Crock Pot cookbook, a hoodie type sweater, and something else but I can't think of it now. I'll let you know when I remember. lol
