Pregnancy Week 8 Update


So I know it has been awhile since I have written anything but I have to tell you that I have sat down wrote part of post and then get called away for kids, laundry, dishes, meals, etc and things run into each other and I never get back to the computer. You should see my desk! It's covered in dust and spider webs because I hardly ever get a chance to sit down to do anything over here! I normally do my writing at night. It's when my brain just flows with ideas and I can write easily but I'm exhausted by 8pm (well really by 3pm but can't go to bed that early) so I'm in bed as soon as I get the kids in their beds.

This week I'm officially 8 weeks and things are looking up! I have started to remember my vitamins daily which means that I'm getting help with my nausea. I've also learned that if I make sure that I don't get hungry that I don't feel sick. Another trick I learned from a friend is to do my best to stay away from sugar because it's one of the reason women get sick during pregnancy. So between all this I have been feeling much better.

Another issue I was having was feeling really tired for a while too but I noticed that if I remembered my vitamins that I felt much better. Of course I also have to make sure not to stay up too late and on really busy days I try to make sure and nap with the kids. It's making things much easier. And I'm getting caught up on all my housework that has been neglected for the past few weeks. Hubby is really happy about this because the house has been looking horrible and he's been running out of clean clothes for work.

Today I've had an emotional day! I've been sick all week. The kids have been sick with me and Hubby finally came down with the cold last night. No one in the house has been sleeping well! We are up coughing throughout the night which means that I'm up not only when I'm coughing but when the kids are coughing as well. Needless to say sleep has been a bit of a luxury around here this week and naps are a must in order to keep our family happy!

Tonight we are finally going out to dinner for Mexican food! I've been craving it for weeks now and I would have just went myself but I hate Mexican food! Like really HATE it! I will make tacos or burritos at home but it's not real Mexican food and I can handle that but this craving is for real enchiladas! Something that one would require a lot of work for me to make at home and they just wouldn't taste as good as if we went to a Mexican restaurant. So I haven't gone by myself to get it because Hubby LOVES Mexican food. When he would travel for work that's all he'd eat because I refuse to eat it normally. So he has insisted that we go together. So I figure tonight I don't really feel like cooking, he was home early from work, and there is room in our budget to head out so we are going to enjoy some yummy food tonight...if we can find a place with good reviews. Wish us luck!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that.  In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)  which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week. Starting close to October I started feeling like something was wrong with me so I went to the OU campus in Tu
