isnt he just the cutest? I love him to pieces! 

Been a while.. but a lot has been going on..

The last time I updated was about my 10-11 week OB appointment and going to get a new vehicle... well we didnt get that vehicle and actually got screwed over but we took it as a sign from God and ran with it. Im 14 weeks 1 day now. I swear I feel the baby move and have for the last couple weeks. I have an appointment on the 25 which is this friday and I cant wait to hear the baby and find out if things are okay. I have literally been sick with something for over a month now. Seems like I get over one thing and something else has popped up. I finally went to the Emergency room after we took the kids to Chuck-e-cheese for the 1st time. I woke up with horrible cramps, couldnt hear out of my right ear, my eye had been glued shut for the past 3 mornings and was horribly red and my throat was so sore and had the green crap in the back of it. I knew it was finally time to see a dr. We got home and I changed and headed to the hospital and got there at 6, there were literally NO seats there. A guy with a laptop got up to plug his charger in but I thought he was getting up and so I sat down, needless to say, I didnt get any good looks for that one.. I sat there for 3 hours before someone called my name and it was just to come up to the desk and they took my vitals there and told me to sit back down. My cell phone died an hour after being there so I had nothing to do, nobody to talk to and everytime they called someone's name I would get more and more angry. At 11:30 (5 1/2 hours of waiting) they called my name and took me back this time, or so I thought. They weighed me, took my temp and asked me some questions. The doctor was already in the room when I got back there and after asking me the questions he came over and literally karate chopped me in my back right where I told him it was hurting and made the pain 10x worse than what it was before. They did a throat culture and then sent me to do a urine sample. I thought I was going back to the room and the nurses sent me right back out into the waiting room. All this, there was a man that had come in at around 8 that had dropped 900 lbs on his foot and pretty much demolished his foot. He was still waiting when I came out from doing my tests. I sat and waited about 30-45 more minutes and they called me back again and this time actually took me to a room. I got my gown on and laid in bed and tried to get some rest. The doctor came in and told me that I had a HORRIBLE uti and that was causing a lot of my vomitting, cramps and fevers. He then told me that my throat was strep throat positive and that the medicine they usually give that I couldnt take being pregnant just to keep drinking hot tea with lemon and honey and sucking on cough drops. He gave me some meds and walked out and when the nurse came in to discharge me, I told her I needed to talk with the dr about my eye and ear. He came in an hour later and looked at my eye and my ear for the first time and said that my eye was pink eye and my ears both had fluid behind the eardrums. so he added another prescription for my eye and told me to take benedryll(sp) for my ear. So I walked out finding out I had a horrible uti, fluid in both my eardrums, pink eye and strep throat. I honestly feel like im falling apart. One thing that got to me though was that after waiting 7 1/2 hours, when I walked out the guy that dropped the 900 lbs on his foot STILL hadnt seen anyone! The kids have been home with me for a while now and I can honestly see how close they are getting. Eventhough they get on each others nerves a lot, they really are closer than they were. On Valentines day our little girl turned 2! It was such a bittersweet moment and tore me up inside knowing shes 2 now. We had her birthday party this past weekend and decorated it all in minnie mouse, her favorite!  She calls her "me-mou" Im so lucky to have such a beautiful family.

Enough of the ranting... were going to the park today to have another picnik. Shane's at work and I want to enjoy the day with the kids.

10-11 week appointment

I had my 2nd dr's appointment today.. 

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat and the kids were with us this time! 

The heartbeat was a good 160 even! 

She told me that if I were to deliver on a day she wasn't on call, for me not to let anyone boss me around and for me to stand up for myself and let the dr's know what I want and what Im going to do! 

That gave me a boost of confidence that I can do this all natural this time..

After the appointment, we went and got the kid's new car seats they are now both in 5 point harnesses which make us happy parents..

Today we also bought an intelligender... 

here's the results...

 Pretty sure its a boy result.. I just have a feeling its a boy and so does Shane!

Tomorrow we go to get a new vehicle! 

Im pretty excited! I hope everything goes as planned! its an awesome vehicle AND has room for all of us! 

10 Weeks 4 days

Im 10 weeks 4 days.. 

feels like this is starting to drag by, which is good.

This is our last and I want to enjoy this pregnancy.

I had my High Risk Ob appointment last Tuesday and it went great!

They knocked my shots down from 100mg twice a day to 40mg once a day!

He said that he was very surprised at the fact the doctors never sent me to a hematologist when it all happened.

I had to take a blood test that test the highest 3 causes of blood clots which are things like blood disorders and things.. I haven't heard back on the results so today the Ob office will be getting a phone call when they open back up... haha!

I have my 2nd Regular Ob appointment tomorrow!

Ill get to hear the babies heart beat! 

Im going to go get an intellegender today and take it probably Sunday when I turn exactly 11 weeks.

Sickness is gone, I can eat finally and thats always nice haha!
Last night Christian couldn't sleep so me and Shane were talking to him about the baby and he said that the baby was his baby brother and he put his ear to my belly and started laughing hard and said "My little brother farted!" 

Christian and Lainey have opened my eyes up and made me realize that even though im only 23 and that sometimes I look back and miss the days I used to go out with friends and things, spending the day with my kids and husband means a lot more.

I was vacuuming and the kids always come running wherever they are and jump on the couch and scream and I chase them (Im just vacuuming the big rug lol ) but they make me laugh and nothing else matters. 

Im one lucky person to be blessed with the babies I have..

9 weeks and counting

Today I am 9 weeks.

Seems like this pregnancy is taking forever, which in a way is a good thing since this will be our last.

Meat is still making me sick, and food cravings are a bit odd!

My high risk appointment is this tuesday and Im hoping ill be able to hear the babies heart beat.

Also, on the 28th I see my regular Ob/Midwife.

Ive been taking these shots for almost a month, and my stomach looks like someone really hauled off and kicked me a bunch of times in my stomach.

Im going tomorrow to get my blood drawn so that my results are ready for the appointment on Tuesday.

Honestly sometimes I forget that Im pregnant, I know that sounds bad.

It just seems like a dream to be honest.

I have a feeling this baby is a boy, but ive been wrong with every single baby.

Honestly days have been dragging by.. It seems like they are flying in real time, but then I look at the calender on my phone for the pregnancy, and its only been 2 days.

I found a girl name I really like and it honors both of mine and Shanes families.

-Isabella Annamarie-

Ann is a name that is on my side, my moms name is LoriAnn, her mothers name is Joann, and my Dad's moms name is Ann.  Marie is a name that is on Shane's side, his mom's name is Rose Marie and his family has it as a middle name too.

Annabella Marie isnt something that we are dead set on though.

Shane is stuck on the boys name as Kameron, but Im not a fan of it though.

We bought a 100,001 baby name book when I found out I was pregnant with Christian, and used it for Delainey also, its somewhere packed away and I cant find it..

The kids have been home a whole week since they stopped daycare and even though its something to really get used to after being on a routine for 8 months, im enjoying it.

We made cookies yesterday and read books.

Our friends Maggie and David came over yesterday and they brought Zane and Zoey,

We made Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and potato salad for me.

Me and Maggie even ended up buying a birthday cake from the store for a sweet desert.

The kids were worn out and had so much fun!



Rescheduled my High Risk Appointment, it is now set for next tuesday.

Cant wait to find out what they have to say!

A lot has been going on here at our house lately. Me and my husband both started another semester today, we just found out that we have to pull our kids out of the daycare they are in. Its a bittersweet moment. I hate that we have to pull them out of a daycare they have been going to for 8 months, and they have grown so much in that daycare. They are used to the daily routines and when we pick them up they are excited and full of stories about how their days went and what they did with their friends. It breaks my heart because I watched my little boy come out of his shy shell and become such an outgoing social boy because of that daycare, I watched my daughter learn to walk when I had people telling me there was something wrong, I watched her learn how to use words because of that daycare, shes learned how to become social and thats something I personally couldnt give them right now because of not really knowing many people here. I told Christian that he was going to stay home with me from now on and he looked at me and said  "but mom, I was a good boy at school" we've explained to him that it has nothing to do with him and that were going to play and have fun and do fun things together now. Tomorrow we go to tell the daycare our final decision and gather their things and tell their friends bye and tell the teachers at the daycare goodbye. I have met some really awesome and loving people at that daycare that made me know that no matter what, my kids were always in good hands when they were at that daycare. I know its going to be hard that me and Shane are both full time students that are taking complete online classes this semester which is the next 5 months, Shane works full time, and Im pregnant. One thing I know is that my kids come first, but that my schooling is very much important to me as well, it will be hard to balance it all but my kids will have lots of fun here with me.

8 weeks

Im actually 8 weeks 2 days today. I was suppose to have my doctors appointment with 2 High Risk OB's but since the snow, the places were cancelled and I didnt want to take the kids out in the weather even though Shane was going too. Im showing symptoms of being tired ALL the time, im a little crampy and food just makes me sick to my stomach. Meat makes me sick really. Just the word makes me sick to my stomach. I will make something and go to eat it and start gagging, throw it away and Shane will try something else, then I will go to eat it and gag, with the other pregnancies, I at least got to eat, it might not have stayed down, but i did feel like I at least ate something and I felt like I got some nutrients off what I ate. This pregnancy is so different than my others. Other than the normal stuff, Im still on my shots twice a day. They arent hurting as much going in now as they were, I guess my skin is getting used to it, but however the burn from the actual medicine, that has not gone down AT ALL! I hate the brusies it gives me and how tender my stomach gets. Tomorrow If the roads are clear we have to go to the school, then I have to get my blood drawn 4 hours after the shots. We've been thinking of names but cant come up wtih something that seems like "THATS IT!" we have plenty of time though.
