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...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
