First Ultrasound

I had my first ultrasound today.  Everything looked great.  The baby was wiggling around and we got a heartbeat.  (167 bpm).  The baby measured at 9 weeks and 3 days…right on target.   AND, I only gained a pound since my first appointment November 1st, (I made it through Thanksgiving with only 1 lb!)  So hooray!  [...]

Love Suffers Long…

I had a dream Thursday night that my middle sister died.  (I have two, I’m the oldest).  The worst part about it was I got the phone call saying she died in some sort of accident, and then, there she stood in front of me, telling me it was my fault she was dead.  She [...]

Thanksgiving ‘08

9 adults, 9 children, and 1 teenager.  That’s 19 people in my house for Thanksgiving dinner!  Let me just say it was wonderful.  Our friends drove up all the way from Oklahoma (some of you may know Katrina as “Transplanted & Growing” – although her blog no longer exists!), with their 3 children.  Thankfully, Katrina [...]

The Comma

I’ve been a bad blogger but let me start by saying that I’ve been busy, tired, and nauseated!  I know I shouldn’t wish my life away but I really can’t wait to get into the 2nd trimester.  Less worrying, less nausea, more energy!  Even with all this griping (sorry), this pregnancy has not become a reality to [...]

10 Years!

It seems the spotting stopped.  It only happened briefly Friday night and it wasn’t too bad at all, so I’m not going to worry, but I am taking it as a sign to slow down a bit.  I worked out with my neighbor Thursday morning and probably over did it a bit!  I guess I’m just [...]

Spotting

I started spotting tonight.  I went through this with Madison and am hoping everything is okay this time around too.  Naturally, I noticed it in the evening, after the doctor’s office is closed, and as the weekend is approaching.  I know there’s not a lot they can do anyway, so I’m just going to take [...]

Giving Birth

I’ve been in a funk.  Sure, Scott being gone might have something to do with it, but I honestly believe that if he was here, the things I’ve been questioning would have just been put on hold and I wouldn’t have dealt with them until I was absolutely forced to.
So I’ve been forced to look [...]

Caution: Crazy Woman Blogging

My hormones have officially taken over.  I guess I’ll see you all in about 9 months.  Until then, do not take anything I say seriously because I. am. crazy.

Dressing Up

Here’s a few pics from Halloween:

Thanks, Megan for posting the pumpkin idea on your blog!  I really enjoyed making my pumpkin!

Scott and I didn’t factor in that WE would be the ones  helping carve the little ones’ pumpkins.  Ohhhh, my hands were sore!

The White Ninja, my Lil Lady Bug, and Dora

Yes, that’s Obi Wan in there too!
