Well today was my dr's appt. I am 12wks and 6 days. I weighted in at 238 just like last time! So glad that I didn't gain any weight at all after gaining 30lb in the first couple months. I was really worried about that, but on the other hand I was hoping it wouldn't be much of a gain cause I don't look any bigger. I was very pleased with that. The baby's heartbeat was 146, and it was moving around alot. We kept hearing it on the doppler. The doc was so pleased with everything that I don't have to go in for 5wks. At that appt we will have an ultrasound.
Forgot to write this down the other day...Makenzie said "Mom, I bet Spanish people eat REALLY wierd things." I said "like what?" She said "I don't know, but I bet they eat really wierd stuff that we would never eat." I said "Well, they eat tacos, encheladas, and quesidillas like we do." She said "Ohh, nevermind then." I had a very hard time not laughing!!

Birthday Dinner w/mom
Well, this evening my mom took me to Olive Garden for my birthday dinner (actual birthday is tomorrow). I talked to the kids quite alot about behavior and making messes the hour before going out. They both were in a great mood and were doing really well in the beginning. Mom and I both pulled out our phones and let them watch Mickey Mouse while waiting for food, so that helped alot. Then while I was enjoying my salad Makenzie came to sit on my lap for a minute. She got into one of her dry coughing fits which resulted in her throwing up on herself and me. I took her to the bathroom and instructed her to stay by the toilet while I cleaned up myself. Next thing I know she comes out. I start to tell her to get back to the toilet and she leans over the sink and continues to throw up all her drink and breadsticks. After sending her back to the toilet I start on cleaning up the new mess. After about ten minutes her and I are finally clean, bathroom is clean, and we head back to the table. Rest of dinner went great. After paying, mom and I were still talking and kids got restless. We go outside and sit on the benches to finish our conversation. My mom was holding Nick, and without any warning at all he projectile vomits all over my mom's foot and the entry way to the restruant. I run inside to ask them to come get it cleaned up and for a napkin to clean up my mom and Nick. Of course it's still dinner time and there are people coming in/out and looking at the HUGE mess in front of the door. I felt awful for leaving that mess for the workers, but there was nothing I could do. Thank goodness there weren't any more issues before we made it home (or since for that matter). Been home about 30min now, and both kids have been bathed and are going to bed soon...Since Nick threw up tonight for no apparent reason, he'll be skipping swim class in the morning which he won't be happy about but I'm not gonna risk it. I have a dr's appt in the morning and am not taking the kids. I have a feeling that is going to be the best part of my birthday since Phil has to head to work practically right after I get back.

Mother's day post
Well, today is Mother's Day. Although I didn't get pampered like alot of mom's do, it was still a good day. We went to church, then to my mom's for an hour, then to McD's to play with Haleigh and Gabby. I had a great time hanging out with Scott & April. After that I took the kids to the library and then home. We relaxed and did whatever the rest of the evening and the kids both went to bed at nine. Now I get to enjoy some quiet time and in the morning Raeann is bringing the kids over.
Yesterday it wasn't planned for me to have a mock Mother's day, but that's what it turned out to be. On Friday night I didn't get much sleep and then had to be up at 5am to take Liz and Lilly to the airport. I was exausted by the time I got home. The kids told me that Phil was going to take them to the store to get mother's day gifts for me and my mom. I requested that instead of shopping that they just let me sleep the day away. I never imagined that would work, but it did! I slept till around noon, attempted getting up, just to sleep on the couch till late afternoon. Then we went to Red Robin for my birthday burger and then to a second hand store for some more maternity clothes. I loved that store and will probably do alot more shopping there now that I know about it. They had a better selection of maternity stuff than the regular stores. Plus of course, much better prices! The nice thing is that this store is really picky about what they take, so no matter what the price, you can be sure you are getting an item that isn't stained or ripped. It was nice not to have to look in detail at the items before buying. I got 3 or 4 shirts for myself, one for Nick, two for Mo, and a pair of jean shorts for myself all for $29.43! That was one heck of a deal!!!
Well, the visit with Liz and Lilly went great. I think towards the end they were ready to go home, and my kids were ready to have life back to normal, but that's typical of any visit with anyone. Now we have this week as a break and then Michael arrives. Hoping to get some laundry caught up in the mean time. At least he stays with my mom though, so life here isn't disrupted. I doubt the kids could handle having company 3wks out of 4! I'm really hoping the visit with him goes as well as it did in January. The kids enjoyed him so much more this last time cause he played with them so much. I'm really looking forward to having him here!

VENTING!!!!
I haven't been on here in awhile cause I've been trying to get my life back in order. Neinty percent of my nausea and tiredness is gone. I've been trying to get my house back in order, which is not an easy task at all...Anyways, that's what's been going on, and now off to my venting...
In the last 48hrs I've had about 9 hours of sleep, maybe ten including my nap yesterday. There is no way on earth I can happily run on that little sleep. I am so sick of people who say they understand how I feel when they have people who babysit their kids and husbands who let them get rest when they need it. I don't have that luxury!!! Yesterday morning I tried to get Phil up around 9am so that I could go back to bed. Well, he rolled around till almost ten and then there wasn't time for me to nap. This morning after only a few hours of sleep and then being up with Makenzie since 6am I was DONE. I tried to wake him up at 8:40 and of course he didn't get up till around 10 again. Then when he tries to give me a hug he wonders why I am so mad. I don't think he understands how hard it is to run on such little sleep. Yeah I know he needed his sleep since he has to work tonight, but I am 100% exausted. I have not gotten more than 2hrs of sleep at one time in a few days. Sometimes my sleep is broken up in 5-10min intervals. That does not let your body rest at all!! The entire family was shocked that I chose not to attend church this morning. I really did want to go, but I think sleep is going to do more for my soul right now than church will...
Liz and Lilly arrive today as well. They are supposed to be sleeping in Makenzie's room. As of this morning you still couldn't see her floor. I told her to pick up all the clothes and she took them and put them in the walkway in the livingroom. So now I have a whole nother mess to deal with besides doing dishes and vaccuuming. I know Liz doesn't care about the house, but I HAVE to do these things. There is no way I am letting a baby in the house to discover the kids small toys or crumbs. I MUST get these things done. Oh yeah, and somehow my playpen got this huge nasty stain in my mom's basement and so now I have to clean that also. Plus clean out the suburban before going to the airport...And to think I also want to get a nap before going to the airport...how is that possible??? I need to leave home in 3hrs.
