Well I am going to try to keep updating this weekly but it’s difficult to do because I’m out of the habit… so what’s new and exciting.
Well this baby is going to be like my other two children and is giving me the same “issues” that I had with both of them early on. So I called the doctor to let him know what’s going on and they said that I needed to come in for a blood test and they are going to do an ultrasound. So since I have been through this before they took the blood test yesterday and I’m fine levels are where they are supposed to be they said that they still wanted to do the ultrasound on Friday. So the good thing is we get to see the baby on Friday. Of course seeing the baby this early the baby will look very much like a spot but we should be able to see the heart beating and for me that’s always the exciting thing J
This past weekend we headed down to Indiana for camping and family reunions. It was a very hot but it was fun. I was kind of crazy with the sun block making sure that the kids were nice and covered so they wouldn’t get burnt being outside every day, luckily the girls were just fine they got a nice golden brown. Tait on the other hand was burnt to a crisp he had me put on sun block once for him and that was it. So he was pretty ouchy and sore for a couple of days. It’s now peeling and itchy to its okay now.
The camping was fun. I think the girls really enjoyed seeing their cousins and having fun just playing outside. The place where we camp is this big field next to this big pond. The first night we were hit but a huge swam of June bugs were HORRIBLE, they didn’t last very long but they were everywhere, and I didn’t notice that they pinched but I think they did bite a few people. So that was fun. We stayed up pretty late and then went to be and were back awake at 7. We stayed there until 10:30 then headed to Tait’s cousins house for the pool party. It was nice to be able to wash off in the pool as clean as you can get swimming in a pool after camping. But we had a good time. The girls played for HOURS in the pool and got sooooo wrinkly but they didn’t care. Tait and Trent went and played 9 holes of golf, I kind of drifted off asleep in a chair but I would wake up. Maya finally did fall asleep and she was down for a good 3 hours. Lehna however was having a great time playing in the pool.
After swimming we headed back out to the camp site and then a lot more people came the second night. So that was a lot of fun having so many people out there. Then they had a huge firework show. It was really impressive. A couple of the fireworks did fall over when they were going off so there was a few moments of “oh my goodness” but you know overall it was fine. We then crashed early because we had stayed up so late the night before and then with the kids running non stop it was insane. Lehna complained that her tummy hurt and we all went to bed.
In the morning at like 5 Lehna woke up and then decided to get sick all over. It was pretty gross but it was a pretty easy clean up. We knew we were going to have to wash her hair someone tomorrow at the camp site and we were able to get is accomplished. I don’t know if it was all the running around and eating or the heat or what but we knew the next day with the other family reunion we were going to cut it short so we could get the kiddos home.
So on Sunday Tait’s family had another family reunion for his dad’s side of the family. We ate and then pretty much left. I felt bad but the kids were so cranky because of lack of sleep and just wearing themselves out. Tait offered to drive home and for the 3 ½ hours I sleep for 3 hours of it. It was the fastest trip ever! So it was nice that Tait drove the length of the trip. I would wake up about every hour and ask if he wanted to switch and he would say “no not yet, I’m fine” and then I would fall back to sleep. Both girls slept as well so he had a pretty quiet ride back.
So that was our weekend it was a lot of fun and I know that next year it should be pretty fun as well.

Update!
So it’s time for an update.
I have decided first and foremost that the garden thing isn’t working for me any more… my life is WAY more chaotic then this English garden thing so I can’t pretend any long that that’s what the cover of my blog should be because it just doesn’t represent me… so that’s the first thing that I have to update everyone one.
I know it’s been a terribly long time since I have updated but you know it’s just takes more time then I have sometimes to come in here and update this thing… I like having it because it does help me vent out XYZ but still it’s just one of those things that I just don’t spend enough time doing… but another thing is I WILL start doing it again… BECAUSE one of the reasons why I love this blog so much is it’s my record keeper I can look back and any of the older postings and find out what was going on, why we were doing it and it’s a memory jog for me and I really like it because I kept such good records of the girls when they were babies and when I was pregnant with them and I like that because I can go back and read up on the pregnancy stuff if I can’t remember with whom I did what with… So another reason why I’m dusting off my blog is because Tait and I recently found out that we are going to be expecting our THIRD child yep you read right we are doing it again. Most people don’t know this information so SURPRISE! I am not very far along I’m not one of those women that find out 10 weeks into their pregnancy nope I found out RIGHT away… so I’m only 6 weeks along. So as I say “barely” pregnant I know how one can be “barely pregnant” but it’s just how it feels sometimes when it’s so new.
So I can say for certain that pregnant I am. As for this pregnancy is it much like the previous two… hum yes and no… mainly no, but certainly some similarities. I feel like this time it’s a boy… that’s my early prediction so I’m sure in a few months from now I’ll be wanting to edit but this is my prediction so far. My skin looks GREAT I have gotten MANY compliments about how great I look so that’s a positive. And with the girls I didn’t feel like that. So it’s a positive. I am having waves of nausea but nothing long term or anything like that just bouts of it basically which is really nice. It could be SOOO much worse.
The girls are enjoying the news of having a sibling and they go back and forth of wanting a boy and wanting a girl so it’s kind of fun seeing what “mood” they are in. They ask when the baby “peanut” will get here and I keep telling them after Christmas and right before their birthday’s I figure that will be enough of a time line… but you know they are kids so they don’t understand.
I have to say though that with this baby my clothes are already getting tight… which is pretty annoying. It’s frustrating to have them feel so snug already so I have decided that this weekend I’m doing the sweat pants thing and I don’t care who sees me. I am also very tired… I don’t remember being this tired with the other two kids but I’m sure I felt it. I just want to go lay down somewhere and sleep. So it’s exciting times around here.
Family life is great and work life well stressful its fine. I enjoy my job it’s soooo busy and everyday is different but it’s good.
But that’s life for now… I’ll update soon
