New Friends

Since we moved we go to a new ward for our Church.
Anthony attends a nursery class where they play, have snacks and have a gospel lesson geared towards toddlers and preschoolers. Yesterday I checked in through the door, and Anthony was playing so quietly and happy. Then I hear a small voice say " Anthony your Mom's here!" WHOOPS! A small blonde little boy was telling Anthony I was there. I was only trying to sneakily just check in on him so I shut the door REALLY quickly. I was impressed the boy even knew who was my son! Whew no problems arised.

After church I was walking out to the car with my family, and the small blonde boy and hid dad were behind us. I turned after I heard the dad was talking to me, telling me he thought my son was cute, and how his son introduced Anthony as his "new friend". It was such a sweet and tender thing to hear.

I think my little guy is doing ok in the new ward. He's been to a couple BBQ's and even a swim party! And now a new friend.

Trickster

I'm tired.

I'm round.

My body has grown to uncomfortable conditions to house this little one.

I'm done. Put a fork in me I swear to goodness I'm done.

He just hasn't gotten the memo yet.

We thought he was coming earlier this week due to contractions that were getting stronger.... then stopped. Ha Ha Mom, jokes on you.

Already a little trickster and a stinker. Or he must really love his mom a lot that he doesn't want to leave

OR

he's heard me yelling at Anthony or Ira and is scared to come out!

No Worker Too Small

So even if you are less than 2 years old, I will make you work!
No really I'm kidding, but I had to take a picture of my little young gardener while he was helping me water the patio. I have lots of potted plants, which he attempted to "drown". He had moved on to washing the bricks off and water the flowers. What a wonderful assistant I have, now I just have to keep him from over watering my pots!

I had to force him to take his OSHA break. Milk time!

Shedding the LBs

So I'm on a gestational diabetes diet, even though I don't have it but something they call "Glucose Intolerance". Unfortunately unlike Lactose Intolerance you can't just take a Lactaid then eat a piece of cake.

Whatever.


But my point is, I did the whole weigh in and get your belly measured today. So far in the 9 months of pregnancy I have only gained..... drum roll please......

2 lbs!

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot?!?

Apparently with this diet Mom loses weight, and baby still continues to grow. Which he has, cus it apparent on my hip bones right now. Owwwie!

My medical staff is not concerned, but actually happy to see the weight loss within reason. Healthier? Really? It seems so weird and foreign to me.

I live in Backwards World.

The Big Move!

So yes yet again I have been MIA! But for a good reason. We have moved!
Not very far away, just into my Grandfathers ranch house. He is elderly and has been living in a retirement community. Unfortunately he didn't like that situation and longed to be back on his ranch he has lived and loved for 50 some-odd years. The place had been run down by the previous tenant, which upset my grandfather very much. After some serious consideration and discussion, it was felt that family needed to live in the ranch house, so my grandfather could live in his apartment above the shop.
Of course it is quite an adjustment for all of us, but it is very nice to be living in the country again. The river scenery is gorgeous, the swimming pool deluxe, the wild creatures amazing and the blue laminate counter top........ well thats just groovy baby!

The house will need some updating to prepare it for future sell, and that falls upon us as well as maintaining the property. But so far we are adapting well to the change and anticipating the birth of our newest son! Whose due date is exactly a month from today!

Mom who needs your Mom Help and Advice

So what kind of stroller should I buy?

There are tons of the side by side jogging strollers out in the market. They are everywhere, it's the thing to buy apparently. But I hear they are a pain to move around. So do I go with the longer kind, one kid in front one in back? I need a double stroller that is for sure, but which kind.

Any suggestions?

PLEASE GIVE ME ANY FEEDBACK!

Good bad, what do you use, liked or hated?


So Anthony saw his eye doctor yesterday and we got an updated prescription. So lets see if THIS time he will wear his glasses.

Bad Bad Bad Me

I've been a very bad blogger.

But I can honestly say I have been a bit preoccupied. So what have been the things that have driven me away from typing late into the night, spilling the beans on my life?

• Anthony's Sickness and Pee-Pee Incident
• Disneyland for Mother's Day Weekend
• LA Trip to Fabulous Fords Car Show
• Ira's Birthday
• Baby #2 rocking the Uterus so much, its making contractions way to early.
• Utter Exhaustion

Are any of those good enough excuses? Prob not, I know.

So as I sit and type this, I feel very very poopy like. Seriously. Like crap.
I'm 30 weeks preggars, and yesterday I started feeling an extreme amount of those tightening contractions, no pain, but a few of them really took my breath away.
It was mentioned to me that I looked like I had dropped, and after really looking, the Hubby and I both agree. Little boy blue has dropped down. So after getting so many contractions one after another, I called the required numbers. They had me drink lots of water and lay on my side for an hour. 2 contractions happened, not enough to warrant any fear, but they still wanted me to relax.

Cool... But then about a 1/2 hour ago I started feeling really nauseous. Ug. Was it the hamburger I had for dinner? I didn't think I overate, but possibly did I? And to boot, more cramp feeling down in the baby region.

Ug. Hopefully this just will pass. Soon.
