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!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
