HOLY CRAP! OWWW!!! 34 week update...



My body is seriously under attack with this child!

About 8 years ago I broke about 3 ribs on the left side of my body. They healed kinda funny (like not in the right place) and even now when I lay on my side weird or if I get to much pressure on them it hurts. Well guess who decided to find those ribs!!! She has gotten so big that I can feel her "down there" and in my ribs at the same time. Do you know what its like to be hit at both places at the same time? Well it sucks. And it's just going to get worse because she has to stay in there for another 4 weeks. Anyways, back to my pain... It feels like she is curling her toes around them and re braking them! I am having a hard time breathing (because of the shooting pains from the ribs), I can't bend over (because she is there!) and everything else has gone to crap.

This just isn't fair. I'm 5'1". I shouldn't be having babies this big. (Stupid Brian...)

Well, here's the update:

How I feel: Angry. She has gone past her welcome and needs to be evicted.

Sleep: Nope, don't remember what that actually is... I having been stressing over her coming. i.e. going into labor and not having a plan for my kids.

Gender: Girl. But will be having another Ultrasound in 2 weeks, so we'll check again.

Weight Gain: Ugh..5 more lbs (in 2 weeks). That's a total of 41 lbs all together... But, most of it is just water weight (unless my Dr is lying to me). I have been swelling really bad in the past couple of weeks. Worried that I might get pre-eclampsia again.

Labor Signs: I don't even want to talk about them.... I'm contracting all of the time.

32 week Update

I'm 8 months! So wonderful and extremely exciting! Why?! Because I am only going to be pregnant for another 6 weeks! Had another ultrasound today, Baby Girl #5 is already 5lbs 9oz! The Dr. says that by the time I am 36 weeks, she should gain another 3 lbs. Other than that, she is doing great!

How I feel: Huge. Just huge. I swear that my belly has grown 3in in the past hour... I can breathe just fine! That's because she dropped 2 weeks ago. Now it just hurts to sit and walk. My body (legs, hands, face...etc) has also doubled in size due to swelling... I look awesome!

Sleep: I am not sleeping well at all! She will not STOP moving! I feel like a zombie throughout the day. Well at least I will be ready for absolutely no sleep for when the baby comes.

Gender: At every ultrasound I make the tech check to see if it is still a girl... It still is

Weight Gain: Total I've gained 36 lbs. BUT I haven't put anymore on in the past month. And hopefully it is going to stay that way!

Name: She finally has a name! Brian is not a fan but I don't really care what he thinks, it's my baby. 

Labor Signs: YES!!! 

So that's the update

Thought of the day...

Whoa there, magazine, I already bought you. No need to pop out a million little post card babies asking me to subscribe...

The First Day of School

Today is the First Day of School! Reese is in 2nd grade and Ashlee is in (full day) Kindergarten. Ash is SO excited to be in Kindergarten! Reese could really care less that school has started again. I can't believe that my little Ashaleelee is in Kindergarten! It makes me a little sad to think about it...

Baby Update....

I am finally 7 months (28 weeks)! This pregnancy has really gone by really fast! I had a doctors appt and ultrasound yesterday.

Here's the update:

The baby is to big. At 28 weeks she is already measuring 3lbs 5 oz. And of course the doctor is concerned (again).  I will have another Ultrasound in 4 weeks and another 4 weeks after that. At 36 weeks the doctor is going to "re-evaluate" the size of the baby and determine when I am going to have her. In other words; I might have the baby around 36 weeks because she will be to big for me to push out and I am not going to have a c-section.  No matter what I will have her by 38 weeks.

Brian VS. the Table Saw

*WARNING*
*THE FOLLOWING PICTURE IS DISGUSTING VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK*


So, last night Brian was doing some work with his table saw. Yup you guessed it! He cut himself! His left thumb actually. He didn't need to get any stitches because there wasn't any skin left to stitch up. So, now it has to be cleaned with peroxide everyday (which includes many four letter words and screaming from Brian)and wrapped with dressing. It's going to take a long time to heal, but hopefully he won't have any problems with it later on. He is SO lucky that he lowered the blade to the saw before he started using it. If he didn't, he wouldn't have a thumb anymore.


Here's the picture, I took it before we left for the ER...

Looks like ground beef...

Bad Day




Today as been a HORRIBLE day!!! And it is only 1:27 in the afternoon. My kids have been awful. All 4 of them! I am so stressed out! I feel like all I have been doing is screaming at them. These are the type of days, I don't like being a mom. (Whatever, you all have those thoughts) They won't stop fighting/screaming/hitting/biting/talking/laying on the freaking ground at the store/running away/climbing anything. And it all happened while we were out shopping today. I freaking went to Target and didn't even enjoy my shopping experience!!! So, now Reese and Ash are grounded to their room until Brian gets home. (And if I hear any screaming or fighting from that room they are going to be grounded until school starts!)Kailyn is having a quiet time and Hayden is in her bed asleep. And I get to clean the Kitchen.

I really can't wait until school starts. I am so over summer...

I'm really digging that womans sweater, wonder where I can find one...
