Yipeeee!

What a great weekend huh? Well, Sunday anways! We were outside Sunday from 1pm until 7:45pm! The kids did not even stop to take a nap! We had my sister-n-laws over and then neighbors continued to drop by...it was lovely. But now, the kids and I woke up this morning hacking and sneezing and my voice seemed to be taken over by the truck driver down the road who smokes 3 packs a day.

Other than that it was totally worth it! Saturday I did laundry and cleaned, and that felt good to get that out of the way. My poor little husband had already gotten a cold and was needing to be babied A LOT. Oh well.

Friday I had my doctor visit and an ultrasound. My visit was fantastic, as always since my midwife is a hoot! Today I think we talked about kids roomming together and why she only had two kids...hilarious. But the greatest news which I wasn't expecting was her telling me that if I don't gain any weight in two more weeks, she's going to have to yell at me to eat more! What??!!That was the best news ever! See, my last two pregnancies I gained roughly almost 40 pounds! This time, ok, drum roll please...dadadadadaddaadada 14.4 pounds!! How is that possible? Here's my conclusion. With Brady, my first, I napped a ton, and I mean alot, and got up and snacked like twice a night and had like a mini breakfast when I got up, (I worked at 6:30 in the morning then) and then bigger breakfast at work. And did I mention I napped alot?

Then with Halle I continued the eating in the middle of the night and slept when Brady slept. No exercise. Now with this one, I maybe can count the number of naps I've had on both my hands, am running non stop becaue Halle is miss adventurerer slash daredevil and Brady is 3....what more can I say about that! Besides that I do not wake up in the middle of the night to eat and when I am at work I signed up for $30/ a year to the gym we have in the basement and have been using the stationery bike 2-3 days a week. I mentioned like no naps and no midnight snacking right? Yep. I am so proud of myself! Now, I did start out a little heavier than normal when I got pregnant with this baby, but, I'm still very happy with how it is going. And, granted, I still have like 7 weeks left and I'm supposed to gain a pound a week, but I could have massive jumps in weight, but I am going to be optimisitic.

Oh, and the ultrasound went well, they were checking to make sure the baby's placenta had moved away from cervix so that the baby could come out and it did move up, with Halle I had the same thing so I wasn't worried, but I always love to hear that there will be no planned c-section! The baby looked good too, enough fluid and strong heart beat 136.

So! We're just chillin' at home today, skipped ECFE due to the colds, and we're just going to love life at home today!

Megan - HELLO! I have been reading your blog for a while now. I found it off of Melissa's. It is so strange to see someone who I use to watch play soccer in high school is now blessed with 2 (almost 3) beautiful children! I feel like I was just at your wedding and now babies! Very wonderful! Best of luck with the next one!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
