Big news

So I can't hold it in any longer!!!!!! When we went to the doc they wanted me to wait a few more weeks and come back in. I went in on my lunch yesterday and they listened to the heart beat of the baby....or should I say babies. That's right they heard numerous heart beats. they're were so many and they are still faint so they tried to do an ultra sound to double check...but only one little one was showing up again, which leads them to believe that the other one(s) are hiding. They do not know how many are in there and wont for a few more weeks. So we will see.

:) can we handle this? who knows.....but too late now. Our family is about to get a whole lot bigger!

My baby

Juliet turned six yesterday. I should have blogged then but I've been soo exhausted. Our day went like this.

Brian and I went to our first doc appt. Due date is October 28th and we got to see the heart beat and the forming of a little person. :)

I came home and found out my grandpa is in the hospital, need surgery to get his gal bladder out. Poor grampa! He seems in good spirits though.

I picked Juliet up early from B&G club and took her to lunch with my friend and her kids, then Juliet and I went to see Rango. I was a little bit disappointed.....its suppose to be a kids movie and they said D@&$ in it. Really?! Totally unnecessary! But Juliet enjoyed the 2 pounds of candy she was allowed to eat. (and later had a tummy ache for...oops).

she then got to go back to the B&G club and play carnival games and get her face painted while mommy took a nap. :D

Everyone came home, we watched Scooby Doo as a family and then off to bed.

I just can't believe my baby is six. It snowed in the morning. Big huge flakes...the ones that look like cotton balls falling from the sky. I told Juliet that is exactly what it was doing the night she was born (she was delivered at 10:02 pm). So that was kinda fun. Shes such a big girl now. She talks to me like a grown up sometimes and her thoughts and opinions are fun to hear. She makes me laugh and I can't imagine my life without her! she is absolutely one of the best things that has ever happened to me. In fact she is one of the things that kept me sane when I was going through some tough times. My love for her knows no bounds and I am excited to watch her grow more and more into her own person.

Love you baby girl!

Love mommy

Well ok then

For those of you that do not know already....Brian and I are expecting to add to our little family. That's right we are preggers. We didn't expect to get pregnant this quick...well I didn't, Brian was pretty confident it would happen right away. Guess he was right (don't tell him I said that!). ;~)

I feel so very tired and queasy ALL the time. But I'll take it. :)

According to the various know-it-all calculators on the Internet, we are due sometime the end of October. However, I have my first appt on the 21st and Ill let her give me the official date.

I'm excited and nervous and all that good stuff. We really really want a boy to balance out the family but honestly I would be blissfully happy with either.

Groupons

Groupon is an AWESOME site. You sign up and they send you daily deals for your neck of the woods. :)

Try it out! I use it all the time.

Here is a referral code. If I get friends to sign up, I get $10.00 towards one of my Groupons. :D

Either way you should still check it out!

Worth it.

Days are long, children routy, family needy, house needs cleaning, homework worked on, dinner made, dishes washed, laundry washed and folded.....the list goes on and on.

What makes it worth it? When one or all of your kids says:

"Momma, You're the best mommy in the whole wide world"

:) makes my heart warm

Bubba Gump Shrimp...

I get cold sores. I have since I was young, just something that happens mostly when I get sick or stressed but can pop up if I sun burn my lips or if I let them get super chapped and they peel really bad. Well chapped they got and peel they did and last night they felt bruised. I hoped and prayed that it was just them hurting from the peeling! But that was not my luck. This morning I woke up to...yes...cold sores.

Now here's the kicker. Most of the time I get them in one spot on my upper lip. Its actually a different color then the rest of my lips because its scarred so badly from all the other times its blistered there. But that spot was saved instead my whole bottom lip is one big blister. We (in my family) call this the bubba gump shrimp lip, because by the time its at its peek with the swelling I seriously look like bubba and talk like him too.

Its humorous......a month later when I'm not dying because my lip hurts and itches and looks disgusting. And right before valentines day! Ya this pretty much rocks (I hope you see that was dripping with sarcasm!)

O well whats ya ganna do right?

Silver Lining

So we should always look for the silver lining, the upside in things. I'm trying to look on the upside of my office moving to Carson.

- I get to see my Carson friends and family on lunches and such whom I haven't seen in such a long time.

- My doctors are still based in Carson. I just haven't switched them over so I can start setting up appts again.

- We are considering putting the children in school in Carson since I would be closer and if we did so the daycare would be close to 200 cheaper then what we could find.

I don't like the fact of commuting but if we can buy a house in South Reno within the next six months to a year then it will be about a 20-30 minute drive, instead of a 45 minute to an hour drive. Our office isn't scheduled to move for another five months or so. But anything could change. But for now that is what I see as positive about this situation. :)
