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!

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...
