Pregnancy

For anybody remotely following me here in cyberspace, you may have recalled that I am pregnant.

Yeah, I have yet another munchkin kicking my spleen.

I'm loving every minute of it.

But in all perfect honesty, there isnt' a day that goes by that I'm not worried.

I will be so ecstatic to hold a wriggling little bundle of joy and not worry on a daily basis if I will carry this child to term.

I lost a baby in September of '09

Shortly thereafter I watched the Movie "Up"

I will never watch that movie again.

It hit entirely too close to home.

I was about 1/3 of the way along when everything went to pot last time.

I'm over halfway now and I should be fine.

But inevitably.

Even though I'm not looking for it.

I hear stories of mother's losing thier babies late, in pregnancy.

I'm scared.

I'm overanalyzing every day when I haven't felt the baby go active for a while.

I know that I should be fine.

Every pregnancy is different

But this one scares me.

I have a Dr.'s appointment next Monday.

The following Monday I have another ultra sound to see if my low lying placenta has corrected itself.

I'm looking forward to seeing my little papoose invitro again.

But I'm even more looking forward to July 30th. :)

Letting Go

Today my sister in law is supposed to come and help me clean house.


This is a huge step for me.




I'm kind of controlling.




But with recent developments that include "restricted activities"




So sorry....





I can't do as much as I need to.


Also I have company coming next weekend I don't want them thinking I'm a slob.



I'm hoping to have my house somewhat in order by Wednesday.


But to top off the self pity I've been feeling...





The ants are back.




I mean seriously.






Why my My house be the one infested with ginormous carpenter ants.


I'm thinking of nuking the place.

Uninspired...

Today I am feeling well.


Bonus right?



Well lots has happened since the last post... including a pregnancy.



Yeah. Suprise to me but one we're truely looking forward to.

So today I am attacking clutter.



It's scary


I don't even want to mention what was found on my floors.

I think bubonic plague could have been involved.



Please don't call the CDC


I'm working my butt off today trying to get stuff accomplished while I feel well and am not horking up every small thing I've eaten.



I'm getting stuff done.

I accomplished laundry soap and new laundry fabric softner.



I was supposed to work on biscotti. It may still happen.





*Especially since NCIS isn't on today.* I find that when it's NOT on, that more gets done, quite the concept.



NCIS isn't evil, it's just a better use of my time than my motherly duties....




Wait.

...and continues...

Yesterday was Cyber Monday:



I bought more stuff online.

AYFKM?!

My mother had no blue and silver Christmas stockings for her beautiful Christmas party.... so I accomodated her.




Then today....

(I feel as if I need to wear the cone of shame at this point)




I bought more.




My husband said do not buy me anything for Christmas.


He's currently up to about 9 packages under the tree and another on tis way... but DUDE.

Seriously.



62$ Shoes... for 18 bucks with free shipping.

How can I pass that up? Seriously?



So now I shall don the cone of shame and have a dove chocolate to console myself...




I really need to stop the madness.

The Saga Continues...

So my mother has lost sleep.

I don't say this lightly.

She woke up in a cold sweat, 2:30 a.m. worrying about her party.

I can't help but giggle.

I'm so sorry she's so stressed over it.

I thrive at parties.

I love parties.

I love to host parties.

I love to cater parties.

I keep thinking I get that from my mom.

I will find out after December 14th.

I ordered her silver table clothes from Kohls.

I ordered her suprise center pieces from Kohls.

I really hope she loves all I ordered her from Kohls.

I love Kohls.

I am done now.

I'll post about something else now. :D

Hmmm...

tap tap tap is this thing on?



Oops...




August....



August was hot.



August was a long time ago.




August was insane.




Did I mention August brought Headlice?




We won't talk about it...


August melted into a similarly insane September.

As well as a pretty crazy October.

My birfday was in October.




I got to go paintballing.



and just for the record that picture is completely unrealistic... this is more like it.




in fact one of my friends got nailed on his bald head... twice. :D

Now we're into November.




I'm stoked.

It's almost Thanksgiving.




Which also means it's almost Black Friday.




And almost time for me to decorate my house for Christmas.



I love this season.

I'm going to try to post a few ramblings here and there more often. Especially now that my introvert mother is hosting a Christmas Party.

She's not an introvert. Not really.

She's obsessive compulsive and "matchy matchy"



She has a "theme" every year for Christmas.





I'm not kidding.




Everything matches.





I'm laughing at this becuase a friend of hers (for the past 26 years) voulenteered her home to host the annual Home Extension Holiday Party. Where a bunch of women from the country celebrate the holidays the only way they know how, with homeade, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.




Man I miss the country.

I'm done for now.

I'll post more about Mom's Holiday party later. :D

And some of the fun things I've gotten for her for it. :D

It's that Time AGAIN!

TIME FOR SCHOOL!!!


After being irritated that my curriculum for my homeschool was delayed and I wouldn't be able to start by when I wanted, (August 23rd) I resigned myself the fact that I'd be starting later.



I hate being late.



It really makes me angry.





I have a specific schedule and I like sticking to it.



Now if I make myself late I can deal with that and be mad at myself

But when somebody else makes me late.




this is me seething....




However... I found out that it'll be shipped here today.




And all was well in the world.
