Day 12...Friendship!

Today I'm thankful for great friends! I'm so lucky to have a truly great friend that is willing to help when needed as well as just to laugh and have fun with.

Today I went down to Colorado Springs to see a midwife for my yearly exam. Since we don't have health insurance at this time it was a better option to see a midwife than to pay to see a doctor. (Actually if you could ever have a "best" pap this was it. It really was relaxing and comfortable. I wish that my hubby was OK with me having a midwife and home birth for our next baby but as of right now he's not.)

I had to drive down to the Springs for my appointment which gave me the perfect excuse to visit my best friend. I feel like a little kid calling her my best friend but that was she is. She volunteered to watch Rex while I went to my appointment and then we sat and just talked and enjoyed catching up (we only get to see each other once a month normally and sometimes its work related which to me doesn't count).

I really miss her when our lives get busy but even though there are times that we don't talk or see each other for months when we finally get together it's like no time has past. I think this is what makes us such close friends.

Today I'm thankful for FRIENDSHIP!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

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...
