One Month...

In one month, we will know what we are having! One month from today I can give this baby a name other than Crouton or it lol.

My energy is back but late at night. So I rarely sleep most nights. It sucks but I think I am dealing. Ryden likes to snuggle up to baby and give my belly kisses hehe.

Speaking of Ry, he is getting better and better as this potty business goes on. He is telling me most of the time when he has to go and when he does have a accident it is more on purpose than anything. But one step at a time. He is still wearing Pull Ups at night but takes it off in the morning since it has pee in it hahahahaha. I keep his little potty in his room just in case and he tries to use it but doesnt always tuck his wizard behind the shield. He will catch on one day!

First Trimester Done!

So, finally out of the 1st Trimester! YAY! Starting to feel a bit better than before. Able to actually eat food more than just once a day... if I remember haha. I just want October 27th to get here faster so that we can give Crouton its real name!

My mom and I went out to see my little sister at college. Its a 5 hr drive one way. A good trip for us I think. We talked about a lot of stuff. Got to see Pamela for awhile which was nice. She seems stressed and exhausted. So I told her and her roommate they need to help each other manage time better. I know it will take her hitting a brick wall to listen but hey...its college life right?

Ryden is doing well on potty so far the last couple days! 5 of 7 pees have ended up in the potty! And today, we pooped and pee so far! I can not wait until he is trained completely. Make life easier! I really am hoping that he is fully trained by the time the baby is here. This way only one set of dirty diapers!

Woo Hoo for a Good Baby Appt!

So had my 12 week check up. Jameson is sick so I told him it would be better if he just stayed home w/ Ryden. Gave me a nice couple hours just me hehe.

All went well. lost more weight (no surprise) and baby was bouncing around like crazy. when dr put the doppler on, 158 and all you could here was this swishing while he/she swam around haha.

I asked her about Swine Flu. Told her how i was not comfortable w/ it. She told me that they are recommending it but not forcing it. If anything, def get the regular flu shot. so that made me feel better.

Told me i could take my Ambien CR but try not to every single night (which i have been avoiding..taking it maybe 1-2x a week) and got my 'hey wic she is pregger' note so shall make that appt on tuesday.

OH! and the big important u/s has be schedule yay! only bad part is it is 830am i was like nooo its a hour drive for me but well it will work i guess.

Should Update more often huh?

Just always slips my mind haha.
But all is going as well as it can. We had another ultrasound last week. My due date is 3/13/10 now but that is okay. This little Crouton is a bouncy nut! we were lucky he/she stayed still for a sec so the dr could get a measurement haha.

Ryden got to go w/ us and had this WTF look on his face while the dr scanned me. The baby even waved at us!

Ryden had a 2 yr check up on that morning also. I never should have tried to switch drs b/c he was SO excited to see them! All checked out well w/ him. He is 36 lbs and 37 inches. Finally on the actually chart for his height. He lost a bit of weight but that is okay since he runs around a lot.

This pregnancy is so much different than Ryden. I don't know if it is because w/ him I was in school and focused on that or because I cant just sleep all day if I want to this time. I am definitely sicker this time. My dr joked that the crappier I feel, the better for the baby!

A couple weeks ago we had a pool party at my 2nd cousins house. Ryden had a BLAST! He didn't want to come out of the pool to even eat! That is so not like him. But he had fun and crashed before I even left the driveway. It was a great day for him. We got to see my Aunt Debbie ( her husband was Uncle Phil and she seemed okay. Things have just been so crazy for our family this year. I have been to more funerals in 6 months then 1 person should in a year! (4 from Jan to June/July).

Crouton!

ok here we go!!

Everything went FINE! I love my drs. i love them to pieces so much. and i dont mind driving a hour to see them.

we saw dr. burgey today and she was like " well we just did your anual in jan so no need to do that!" i was like woo hoo!

then she did a quicky on the belly to make sure only 1 in there then a wanding.

i spotted the HB before here lol. she was like " sorry im so bad at driving this thing!" but it was fun. she has a fun sense of humor. i posted a pic on FB. we took pics w/ our cells so we can post it fast. i have one in my bag but that was way more fun.

she said all looks good. then said " well we will have you come back in 3 weeks just to double check the due date" so naturally i was like " Works for me!"

Ryden can come to that one since it will start on belly. but if it has to go trans vaginal we will kick the boys out.

She said that since i had my gallbladder out, it could be the reason why food is going through me so fast and that i can eat dorritos and cheese puffs if i need to hehe. im still dropping weight but no worry.

oh and she asked about vitamins so i told her, yes Ry and i take our Flintstones together. she was like good! they are way better tasting. then before she left she was like, i take them too! hahaha.
Alexis funeral was today. We got there so late but we got there and got to see her mom so that was good. We gave her our love and what not. The fucking press was there also! I was like seriously?? When we got to the gate of the cemetery, we got asked if we were press or friends/family. i was like wow...the press even had a fucking camera there to take pics! how rude is that?

Rest in Peace Alexis....

This year for me has been full of too many funerals that one person should not have since January.

Alexis Cohen was a high school friend. We hung out in SASA ( Students Against Substance Abuse), in and out of class and at home. We drifted apart over the years and I am sad it happen. Life got in the way. Moving apart, going our own ways and just not having time.

Alexis Cohen was a victim of a hit and run. They caught the person, Daniel Bark , but still.

So many people know her as the bad mouth over done Glitter Girl on American Idol.

She was NOT a crackhead.
She was NOT a druggie.
She was NOT a mental case.

She was a HUMAN BEING! She was someone's daughter. She was someone's neice. Someone's cousin. She was a PERSON!

All the bashers and haters out there have nothing nice to say and its horrible they are treating her after all this as a joke. She was more than just a AI set up. She would give you the last dollar in her pocket or shirt off her back. She was someone who was passionate for life and loved life. She did not have a easy life but she made it what it was for her...her LIFE.

So Nice!

Yes, it is nice to be able to go get things done during the normal day.

After Jameson left for work, Ryden and I headed to Walmart for a new garbage can (no luck) and some other few things. Then we headed over to Walnutport to the Mc Donalds for lunch and Play Place. It is pretty humid so it is nice to have a place to go let him run and burn some energy.

We just missed the crowd thank god ( note to self: 1245pm PERFECT time) and so Ryden and this other little boy had the area to themselves. He had a blast running around up and down the steps and playing w/ the toddler toys. He just kept running for a good 30 minutes.

Headed on over to Pathmark since bigger kids were coming into the area and well...didn't want to risk him getting hurt by them not seeing him. He sat in the cart eating him Happy Meal... which was in a BOX...a RED HAPPY SMILE BOX... while mommy picked up a couple things for Tacos tonight yay!

So now we are home. He is laying in bed hopfully napping and I am just relaxing. He is getting better at getting in and out of his carseat which will make it easier come big belly time.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

The Run Around Day!

I GET MY CAR BACK! YAY!

Jameson finally found a car. A 1994 Geo Metro. Yes, a tiny putt putt car. It will do awesome on gas and I get my Cobalt back! Now I can take Ryden to the park to burn off energy of his and just be out of the house. I will no longer have to plan around his work schedule and I will be able to just run out when I need to!

Today we had a busy busy day. I had a eye appointment for a check up and new glasses, than to get the car and than to the Chevy dealership. Needed to get a tire fixed, correct a sensor and find out why my airbag code kept coming up. But I got to have my Pita Pit so all was nice. I HIGHLY suggest looking up to see if one is in your area. They are great prices and awesome food.

Tomorrow, we are heading up to my parents house to see some family. A couple relatives are coming in from New York to hang out for the day. It will be nice and Ryden will be able to run around and burn off more energy.

I also have to go get my Pregnant Person blood work done. ICK. The joys of pregnancy! They take like 6 viles of blood so I must make sure I eat something or bring something to eat afterwards. Dam Vampires!

As The Days go by....

This pregnancy has been SO different than Ryden! I have been getting so nauseous this time around and my face? Oh it is breaking out like crazy! I am not having fun w/ this one!

I am also so much more tired. It has not been bad this week but still stinks. Does not help chasing Ryden around. He has decided that he does not want to play by himself anymore and not work on going potty. UGH! I am determine to get him potty trained BEFORE little Crouton makes its appearance.

We have our first appt and Ultrasound on 7/31 at 1115am. So my mom is coming out to watch Ryden and I get to wake up early! Our OB is a hour away but I love them to pieces so I will travel that far hahaha.

We are still looking for a second car. It really is hard only having the one. I have to plan everything around Jameson's work schedule.

So much...so little...

So it has been really adventurous since last post.

My Uncle Phil has passed away. It was a complete shock to us all. He was so healthy. He passed due to a Abdominal Aorta Anyersuim. I know I spelled it wrong. It was not a great weekend then. My little sister not only got to celebrate her 18th birthday saying goodbye to him, but also saying goodbye to her GodFather. It was a very hard day for all of us.

But that morning I took a Pregnancy test that came up Positive :0) So, took a couple more over a couple days and sure enough:
So Ryden got a sibling on the way for his Birthday. I still can not believe that my little Ryden is 2 yrs old already! Time sure has flown by. He had a lot of fun hitting his Pinata at his party hahaha.
