Because I said I would...

Okay I said a couple of weeks ago that I would post an ultrasound pic of soesbe baby 3. And I will put some up of the kids and one pretty one just because. No, I did not get my camera fixed, I just figured out how to get the pics off my phone onto the computer and into file formatt to be downloaded here!

So first up...the tests. And would one do? Nope because it was from the dollar store and James and I both thought it was probably wrong with the positive result-afterall it was only a dollar...so then we got some more spendy digital tests...i didnt take pics of the read out i dont think, but i took pics of the acutal tests....

Moving on about 4 weeks to the first ultrasound to yeild results...

Let me tell you what ur looking at the little light colored blob inside the squash-looking dark blob...thats the baby at 7 weeks

Now the kids- baylie after she got her hair cut by me...just out of the shower, its much cuter when its dry and fluffy-

Now Daisy begged me to put the head band on her then she walked around for a few mins saying "I pretty!" so I took her pic-

Lastly, this was my very first sunflower to bloom this summer the color was so awsome in real life-

hey people where are the updates??

So there are a few of you that read my blog, trust me I read yours as well. So I know you all lead exciting busy lives but I have to say "HEY YOU GUYS, WHERE DID ALL THE UPDATES GO??!!" Beth, I really look forward to your updates: who's walking and talking and causing trouble? How are you feeling, how is the pregnancy going, how bout some pictures of you and the kiddos?! I have no email for anyone so I can't just send one off! Jess, how are you and the boys, how bout some more pics of them and you? Any closer to coming home?? Jami love, I know you feel like I do...yuck!...but hey were are your tummy pics and some updated ones of Madi. Jee whiz I feel so out of touch with everyone...so frustrating...................

PS. since I am talking about updates quickly I will say everyone in my house is doing fine, my camera is still broken, James got a job yesterday with TSI (yay) which means I am back to being a stay at home mom. ttfn

Seeking Advice from all Moms!

Hi everyone, I am looking for a breast pump. I need advice as to a good one for large busts. I need an electric one because of the large bust thing. It would also be a good thing if it didn't break the bank. I just don't know what to buy...something with lots of suction for sure and I dont know what.... help!

taking it week by week

well i am 8 weeks into baby #3, and so far its been rocky. the morning sickness is killer with this one and it seems to be a VERY picky eater because i can only eat a few things so long as they sound good at that moment. and what i've come to realize is that it may sound good before and during the cooking process but more often than not after its done and ready to eat it no long is appealing to me. but with luck i should only have about 4 more weeks of this particular brand of torture. but since my camera is broken i have no way to post the pictures from the last ultrasound. but what i can do (and i think its so neat that they can do this) is give you a picture of someone elses baby at this week in developement so you can see inside the womb. This site is so cool. grr okay i cant get the picture to upload, but if you follow the link and go to "far along" then put in your due date or mine (may 20, 2010) it will take you to a page that is soooo neat. ttfn

#3

I do have pics from this appt. but there isn't much you can see with the untrained eye. I will try to get those up later. We found out that I'm farther along than I thought I was but still not as far as the charts say I should be. I am exactly 7 weeks today, giving me an actual due date (yay!) of May 20, 2010. We hope we have a healthy baby-we got to see the little heart fluttering away in there (YAY again) but honestly we would really like a boy this time. My dr remarked on the fact that i lost about 5 lbs from last tuesday...he called it a heck of a weight loss program but not for long! anyway, it was nice to have the good news, now maybe i can sleep alittle at night now. my next appt is on the 28th of this month, there shouldnt be much to report at that one, just a heart beat...which as of today was 138. and if youre wondering that is about 30 beats less than either of the girls were at that same age.

A quick post

for those who dont know and didnt pay attention to our new heading, we are expecting child #3. the exact due date is unknown right now as my last monthly visity does not seem to corrispond to time of conception as it normally would. i have another ultrasound this week with dr beck and hopefully we can see more than we did last week. he is fairly optimistic that even though the timing is off that the pregnancy will go normally. although he did mention that because mine is so early that i should know that 45% off all pregnancies at this stage end in misscarriage. but being as i've had two normal healthy ones he thinks things will be fine. again we will know more on the 1st. if you want my guess at a due date i would say the end of may to the beginning of june.

Baylie tested positive on monday for influenza a...we will know in a couple weeks if its h1n1 (swine flu). she is trying to recover from that. but as i type james is at the clinic with her because we are seeing little progress and she is over half way through the medication. my worry is pneumonia. * update* not pneumonia.

I am sick as well. I have bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection. normally they would give me an inhaled steriod to help but they can't becuase of #3. so i am stuck with tylenol, psuedaphedrine, and robitussin (yucky!!). Sleep has been difficult becuase baylie has been ill and nights are hardest on her.

James and daisy remain well. apparently so far daisy seems to have a super human immune system. she shares everything with baylie and hasnt even come down with the sniffles. James continues the hunt for a job. i continue to sub...which is finally starting to pick up. but i really must go lay down now, i am hurting something fierce. so ttfn

Given Freely

Something given freely with no string or expectations attached can sometimes bring you more than you ever thought possible. But when love is given freely (and love comes in many forms) it is the most beautiful and touching thing ever. If you dont know about our situation right now its not great. James and I as a couple are fine, but he lost his job 3 weeks ago and hasn't been able to find anything yet, so our financial situation is grave bordering on dire. I have been stressing on how we are going to make our bills, buy food, and the clothes that Baylie needed for the winter. By the generosity of someone very special to me (she's been like a sister for almost 17 years because her sister may as well be mine, and her family 'adopted' me a long time ago) a huge monster sized weight has been lifted off my shoulders in the form of clothes for my kids. She called it a trade because we pass on all of our outgrown kids clothes to her. I call it the best gift I think I may ever have had. Words do not even begin to express the gratitude I have for her and her husband. I never thought that the love we gave to her and her family in the form of hand-me-down clothes would have ever come to this- I hoped it wouldn't accutally. But somethings are out of our control. So once more for you (and you know who you are) thank you for love given so freely and selflessly that I only hope one day I can, in some way, repay it to you (and more than just hand-me-down clothes). I want you and your family to know that I have always loved you and held you close to me in my heart, and though you didn't need or have to do what you did, you are even more special to me now then I ever could have known you would be. Thank you.
