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!).

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I hate drama!

I really consider myself and my life pretty drama free. I try my best to keep people that seek after drama at a distance because I really just don't feel like dealing with it. I have certain family that automatically causes it but you know they are family and there isn't much you can do about it but set up boundaries to not allow it to affect your daily life. Which we do! I love all my extended family but sometimes, seriously, just grow up, stop acting like the world revolves around you and get over it. You children have their own families now! Anyway! After dealing with more family drama (disclaimer: the person I'm talking about would not be reading this so if your family and you are it's not you that I'm complaining about :) then I get a nasty note from a neighbor who is just plain being rude. And I love how they waited until I left before putting the note of the door. I haven't had a car for almost 3 full months and this week my hubby finally got his motorcy...
