Back to school too soon!

I've had a marvelous weekend with my MIL and her BF. (absolutely NO sarcasm here - she's WONDERFUL!!!) She helps so much with keeping things picked up and reminding Brant and Caleb to put things away. I've gotten into an "I don't care if you don't care" mode. But, hopefully that will be changing soon.

First trimester is officially over! Yahoo! Boobs still hurt, though...ready to feel this bump that is so fatty right now. And, BTW - kids at school still don't know. I guess when they ask, I'll reveal. We'll see.

Anywho, back to school today. I don't wanna! I'd love to hang around the house and pretend it's vacation time with Brant and Caleb...some more. They leave tomorrow, MIL and her BF. Bummer. Early, too. like flying out at 7 am. EWWW!

Next thing to look forward to? My 2nd appointment on the 18th. Seester back on the 19th. End of first semester on the 21st. Yahoo! for all!

Have a great Monday!

Brother in Training...

We finally had an opportunity to tell my MIL about our new baby...



Here's a little video (9 seconds) to show you the real deal.



We had just picked them up at the airport...and Grandpa Greg is talking to Caleb about Thanksgiving snow. Caleb rips off his jacket...on cue, of course...and shows off his too-cute shirt. the reaction is priceless. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving SNOW!!!

Yup! We were in Snyder. Lots of snow. Caleb loved it. He learned very fast how to pick up the cold, cold snow and make towards Mama to throw it! Little snot! :) Still had snow on the CRV when we got home! Funny, not a drop of snow was left here, though. Oh well...another day, perhaps!

So much for time ALONE!!!

Caleb was sent home on Monday from "school" with a 102.3 fever. I kept him yesterday just to be sure. Today, I got the call at 2:00...just as I was laying down for a cold winter's nap... or something. He had a 101 fever. GRRRRR! There is nothing else wrong with him...if you don't count the hacking cough he's had for a month. It's bad enough that my baby two-year-old knows how to say "throwed-up" and how to get positioned in front of the toilet if necessary. Eww!

I shouldn't complain. I just wanted to get my tree up and the house cleaned sans two-year-old. Oh well...there will be time to do that with him.

Tomorrow is Turkey day! Or rather, happy eat lots of food, watch football, and spend time snoozing with other family members you barely get to see day! :)

First OB visit

I finally got to go!

Heard and saw the little bean. Unfortunately, the image is horrid...you can't tell it's a bean! Not even slightly human-oid. But, the heartbeat is good...and we're right on track for the 14th or so of June.

I did get to see better images than were printed...darn timing. :)

On a side note...Doc told me that we would be allowed to "pick" our baby's b-day at 39 weeks. Meaning...I will most likely have a c-section, again. Darn it. I really wanted to try to deliver vaginally. She said if she was on call, we could try...but I have to go into labor all by myself. No inducing. I know it's crazy, but I wanted to try it. I know there are no trophies...but I wanted to experience it just once...for real.

But, yeah! Baby is doing good! Just about 10 days until EVERYONE knows. We tell MIL on the 29th when she gets here. Finally!

Back from Houston

I drove to Houston on Friday. Just Caleb and me. We did great!

We went to see my bestest friend, Cathy, for her baby shower. She has one month to go. She's totally adorable. The cake was amazing! Her friend did it all free-handed-like. WOW! I am jealous!

Anywho, here's Cathy...and the tummy...and by the way...did I tell you they ARE NOT finding out what the sex is? Crazy people! To each their own, right?

All better

So, I got all better today. At 2 pm. Know what the problem was? My intestines were slowed down. So-to-speak... sat down and took care of that little problem. Felt STUPID not realizing THAT was the issue. Oh well. Have to watch what I eat. More fun to come, I'm sure.

Bleck!

My tummy is tired. I am very nauseous. My head hurts. I don't want to take anything 'cause I don't want to puke. But, my head hurts more and more as the day goes on. So, I've now taken A Tylenol. Just one. I'd like to sleep. If I got the flu from my dad...I will be so mad! I purposefully WAS NOT around him last week because of this. Maybe it's my "other" condition? I hope so. :)

6 more days!

I am positive!
Rah, rah!
Not including today, because I am already up...
There are only 6 school days left until our much needed Thanksgiving break!
We haven't had a break since September - Labor Day!
I am looking forward to sleeping in with my hubby...after taking Caleb to day care (only for 2 days!).
I am looking forward to seeing/hearing this little life inside of me.
I am looking forward to putting up my Christmas tree and other decorations.
I am looking forward to seeing family and eating far too much food.
I am looking forward to time to bake and be a home-body. (which I secretly desire!)
I am looking forward to ... no school.
YIPPEE!
Can't wait.

SEESTER!!!

So, my seester (yes, it is supposed to be spelled that way) is coming back to Tejas for a visit.

YIPPEE!!!

TODAY!!!

She was scheduled to come back for about 2 weeks during Christmas...and still will. She is VERY homesick. (who could blame her?!) She texted Dad and I yesterday that she could be here tomorrow (Tuesday - today) for $495...she wished. So, dad called her and said do you really want to come home? How long can you stay? etc, etc... Long story short...she will be here today at 4:50 ish! Through Friday!

Not a long time...but time needed. We've already been warned that Franco's, Rosa's and Henry's will the on the menu at least 2 times. Each. :) I so love my seester...more and more as we get older.

YEAH!!!
