a week of highlights!

I've been coming to blog all week I promise!! But it seems by the time I actually sit down, do my email and such, and finally get to blogging I'm exhausted and just need to go to bed!

So quick before its my bed time!! lol

I went in for my echo on wed, the tech said everything looked fine, but the dr's would review it. She said it probably just sounds like a murmur b/c I'm preg and there is more circulation.

I left my poor husband home with 3 boys...avery(21 months), J (16 months), and my other Ja(5 months). I left with 2 of them crying. Ja was hungry, Avery was jealous, and J was happy! He got them fed, cleaned up, and all 3 were asleep by the time I returned. Luckily they all sleep well!

As for how I'm feeling...well I have my good days and my bad days. Today was a not so good day and I think I may know why. I think my prenatal vitamin is making me sick. I was fine up until I took it today and I've been miserable ever since. Of course you are supposed to take it on an empty stomach and no dairy products, but I did eat shortly after. Sometimes I think I feel sick b/c I'm hungry. I'm going to keep an eye on it and if it doesn't get better in a couple weeks when I'm in the second tri then i'll ask the dr about alternatives. I may just have to take some flintstone's vitamins!

Avery has of course been kinda growing like a weed! Of course he is bigger, funnier, and gets into more trouble!! But he is still tiny for his age! He is all of 23 lbs and still fits into his 12 month pants he wore last year!! they are a tiny bit short but only when he sits!! I guess I don't have to worry about new clothes for his this year...although I have bought him some stuff b/c I can't help it when I find some cute clothes. This is sometimes hard b/c I never can find cute boy clothes but this year I was having trouble with girl clothes! The other night at dinner Keith was asking avery to say some words...he asked him to say microwave, sure daddy whatever you say. so what did avery do, he started waving!! get it microWAVE! kid cracks me up!

It seems we won't be going out to eat only if necessary. Everytime we go Keith freaks out by Avery's behavior, then it frustrates me. Tonight avery was screaching..ok it was VERY loud, but he was looking for a reaction from Keith. Keith got to the point where he was yelling at him to be quiet. I ended up taking avery outside...of course it didn't help that it took FOREVER to get a casar salad. I brought him back in and then we packed up and left. I told Keith he needs to just relax and there is only so much you can do esp in public with a toddler!

keith is supposed to go out tomorrow night with some people from work so hopefully he will get to RELAX then as much as I don't really want him to go. BUt then again I am going out on sunday with just hte girls...but in reality there are somedays when I just need a mommy time OUT! esp. lately feeling quite crappy!

well there is my week in a nutshell! i'll try to post more I promise!

just a little update!

holy moly! its been a month since I blogged? man I need to get back to it! Missy and Lori I have been reading your blog, just not responding much!

plus there aren't many people who seem to read this blog much those that do know all my news in my life!

Since the last time I blogged we have discovered that we are expecting another baby! yup that's right come March 09 Avery will be a big brother! I've been absolutely miserable with nauseous, tiredness, etc that comes with it. It is so different than with Avery...and I truly hope it is almost over!

I have changed ob/gyn b/c of the last hospital stay. I loved my dr but the hospital care was less than spectacular. I went to see a midwife who I heard great things about and well...i didn't feel safe in the environment. So now we are seeing an ob practice in Noho.

I have to go in for an echocardiogram next wednesday to check on a mysterious heart murmur I all of a sudden have. I am hoping and praying that it is nothing and won't cause problems with this preg. I have never had one before and supposedly it is small. I think Keith is a bit worried, but I try not to think about it!

I can't believe that it is the end of summer already! where did the time/summer go? I wished it was a more relaxing summer and not so busy, but I am looking forward to the fall and christmas. I love to bake/cook and hope my appetite will return just in time! Plus my birthday is in oct and we should be finding out the sex of this baby around then too! YAY!!

so that's it for now!
