Busy Weekend!

It was definitely a busy weekend, but nice! The kids and I were outside alot, and it felt soooo good! I can tell that I am getting in to my nesting period before the baby comes, but it is not focused in the right areas. For instance. This weekend I cleaned both of our vehicles, inside and out. I re-raked the yard, basically meaning I moved piles around that I had raked a week earlier because I am waiting for my dear sweet husband to pick them up to load in to the truck to take to his parents house. Which I might add is just across the street (yes, little "Everybody Loves Raymond" type feel, but I do love my in-laws)! I've picked up sticks, pulled weeds and brushed the dog. I have not, however, done much with the nursery!!!!

I did get one small task started, not finished, and that was moving most of Halloran's clothes out of the nursery in to her and Brady's room. But she still has many lingering items in her old room! I still have to convince my husband to go under the stairs to get the newborn baby clothes out and washed (just in case) and do a good thorough cleaning of the actual room and furniture. So somehow I need to FOCUS! If I had like 6 hours kid free in that house, Man! I could do some awesome things!

Anyway.

It was a good weekend. A lot of family time and fresh air! We also went on the MS Walk for my sister-n-law who was diagnosed a couple of years ago. She's 37 years old, 2 boys 5 and 3, and she is such a trooper! It was a gorgeous day and I got through the two-mile walk just fine, I knew I would, but everyone is like "Are you sure you should be walking?" I'm like, I do way more strenuous work at home throughout the day with my kids and everything, that just strictly going for a walk is not a big deal!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we spent the middle of the day at my dad's (they had Halloran while we went to the walk) and we made the first maiden voyage on his pontoon for this Spring, and the kids had a blast!!

So, it was a nice a weekend. My emotions are still all over the place lately, but I am trying to manage them better!! So...yeah!

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...
