I'm Thankful For...My Mom

Day 9

This is a post that I couldn't have written on the day...why? Well because I was dealing with a baby with croup & a 3 year old that was experiencing the stomach flu for the first time. Poor guy woke up around 2 am saying his tummy hurt. He has been saying this a lot to get attention since Goose has joined us so I just told him to go back to be. Well before he could turn around to head back to bed he threw up all over the floor! (Yep, lost the mom of the year award again) I felt horrible! I got him cleaned up, the floor cleaned up, & got him back into bed. A few minutes later while I was nursing he comes out saying his tummy hurts again. I put Goose down quickly which makes him start screaming because I interrupted his eating time, wake up the hubby on the way to the bathroom & try to get Monkey to stand over the toilet. When he didn't throw up I set him to bed with a trash can just in case & went to get my mom. See before we went to bed she offered to help me the next day if I was up all night with Goose. So instead she called into work since she was up all night with Monkey. She was great! She did everything for me. She didn't want me to be around him to much so that I wouldn't get it & I wouldn't pass it on to Goose. So far so good. Monkey has been the only one to get it in our house. We did find out we got it from the library because a friend we were their with came down with it a few hours after Monkey did. So today I'm so thankful for my mom & all the help she offers me on a daily basis but especially for this particular night & day that would have been so draining after having 2 weeks of sickness in our house.

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby? He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes? Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks? Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week? Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales. We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested. This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
