How We Found Out This Time

So with my pregnancy with Rex I had almost no symptoms and that's part of why it took me 6 months to know that I was pregnant. (My Pregnancy Story) Well with this one I had my first ultrasound when I was only 5 weeks. I already had and still have breast tenderness. This is actually horrible. It's so bad that wearing a bra hurts but not wearing one hurts even worse. Then I was nauseated. M's Grandpa had gotten a bug while we were staying with them so I just thought it was that until we got home and it didn't go away. 


This is when I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a pregnancy test. I really wasn't expecting it to come out positive because I was getting close to starting (I have PCOS so it's never regular but I can normally guess around the time) and I also had the IUD in. All the odds were against the test coming out positive but nope that's not how it turned out. 


The morning of November 29th I woke up really early, like 5am, and really had to pee. I decided I would take a test just to make sure. So I pee and sit and wait. I didn't have to wait very long. They pregnancy line came up faster than the not pregnant line. I was in total shock! Seriously just kinda looked at it and giggled. 


So I had to go wake up M and tell him the news. He is not a morning person but I didn't care I couldn't wait for another hour or two for him to get up. 


So I went in our room and said, "So, ummmm...I took a pregnancy test...and well it's positive!" (Still a little in shock.) 
M says, "So your knocked up?" 
"Yep."
"Can I go back to sleep now?" 
Me thinking "Sure go right ahead I just didn't give you life altering news right now." But what I really say is "Sure but I can't sleep now."


So I go down stairs and try to figure out who would be up so early that I could share thus news with. The answer is no one so I played on the internet while waiting for the time to pass.


I first call Aunt Cathy. I figure she has kids they have to be getting ready for school by now and we had spent a lot of time together while we were staying at M's grandparents. Well she doesn't answer. So I call my dad. No answer.  Then I call my sister in law because she lives in a different time zone and she's an hour ahead of us. Well she answers the phone and she's not up but since I woke her I tell her the news anyway. She's excited but tired so I let her go back to sleep. (M's family could sleep for 22 hours a day I swear I wish I had that gene.) My dad calls back while I'm talking to her so I call back and share the news and he's excited. After we talk for a few I tell him to have mom call me as soon as she gets up.


When I talk to my mom she gives me the idea of waiting to tell everyone until Christmas. I think it's not a bad idea and would make a great Christmas present for M's grandparents because they really want us to have another one. I also didn't plan on telling them until after I knew the IUD was out and I was safe from that causing a miscarriage.


So that's how I found out! I actually have pregnancy symptoms but not bad enough that I'm puking my brains out (Thank goodness!).

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...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
