Reason # 4,561 I don't want to go back to work.

I’m totally digging ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ Seriously, they are hilarious to me! And Kim, Kim is gorgeous.

They’ve been playing a marathon of episodes everyday and I’m hooked.

What am I going to do when I go back to work?

Sucks.

Catch Up

My internet has been down for two weeks which has really sucked. However it’s back up and running so I can catch up on everything and make my entries.

Work is going alright. Every time I hear of all the people being laid off daily and how horrible the real estate market here is doing I’m so thankful to have this job. And I can’t say enough about the medical. I do not have to pay one thing for my pregnancy; it’s completely covered 100%.

I finally told work last week that I’m pregnant and I am not going to my training like scheduled. I will have to go after the baby comes.


Since I haven’t been able to post the baby blogs weekly, here are a few pictures to catch you up and I should be able to resume the posts on Monday/Tuesday. I’ll be 16 weeks on Monday, it’s flown by already. Which honestly I wish it wouldn’t, I want to enjoy each part and have life slow down a bit. I had the flu last Thursday which really sucked and I had to call in sick for the first time. I figured when I threw up all over my car on my way to work I’d better just stay home. I haven’t felt the baby move yet but I have had different feelings of pressure which I never felt with Caleb. It’s like I’ll have pressure on one part and then in another spot. It’s kind of cool. The doctor’s appointment went great, I heard the heart beat and my tummy measured at 15 weeks (at the time I was 14) so all is good and the baby is healthy. I have another appointment Feb 19th and then 2 ½ weeks after that I will have our ultrasound to find out if we’re having a little boy or girl. I am going to bring Caleb to the ultrasound; I think that would be really neat for him to see the baby.

14 weeks

15 weeks

I’m trying to prepare him for the baby but not overwhelm him. I am nervous about how things will go after the baby comes. Caleb has been my little boy for 8 years all by himself. He’s only had to share time with Makayla and that’s not constantly. I think every parent probably struggles with this to some degree. I don’t want to rock his world too much but it’s sort of unavoidable. I plan to keep him involved as much as he can be and make sure I have lots of time for him afterwards. He seems pretty excited about it and every week when I get the pregnancy emails he’s always curious how much the baby weight this week. That’s his thing.

So anyway I wanted to catch everyone up. Hope all is well.

Fall

I love Fall. Fall means it’s time to break out the pumpkin spice candles and the cute sweaters that get locked away in the closet for the summer.

There is one road in particular that I love in the Fall. As you drop down the hill all you see is an array of beautifully colored trees to each side of you. I get so lost in them.

The days get cooler and shorter and the thought of hot apple cider makes me smile. The pumpkin patch trip will be here shortly and I am starting to get out the Fall decorations with a hint of Halloween.

I can’t wait to help Caleb pick out his Halloween costume and cover the front yard with spider webs.

Oh how I love Fall!

This & That

I’m so happy to see Caleb tonight. It’s been too long…a whole week and a half. My niece is going to be staying a week with us and going to summer camp with Caleb. She’s totally excited. She’s a tomboy but man when she comes to my house, she gets into my hair stuff, makeup, nail polish, last night while I was playing on the computer she came out in my knee high boots and one of my dresses asking if she could wear it to church. Cracks me up.

I’m at an open house right now waiting for people to come through. I can’t wait to own a house someday; it seems so far away though. I will be on project mode galore when that time comes. Sometimes it’s so frustrating, I feel like  I work so hard but am stuck in the middle income rut. Oh well I just keep praying and working at it.

When I get back home today I am going to be in power cleaning mode! My house is showing the affects of my work week. I’m tired and out of clean clothes. I’ve been home long enough to eat, change, and sleep.

Anyway, I need to make my grocery list…have a great weekend!
