So far so good, I've posted every day of November! Although, for anyone who reads this it may get rather boring very soon lol!

So, I've been searching for my camera cord since we moved because I have a ton of cute pictures of AJ from October. My mother finally found it and it was torn in half?!? It didn't look like it was chewed by a pet, just that someone had yanked both sized until it tore apart. Completely crazy! So, for now I have to remain pictureless because I have to find a new cord, order it, and wait for it to be mailed. A TOTAL BUMMER!

In other news, I have already taken a break from my crunch week lol. Actually, I worked hard last night and this morning to make sure that all three papers were done. I was successful, but I decided that tonight I needed a small break. AJ went to grandma's and I'm about to go to bed.

So, good night to all!

Crunch Time

Today is a crunch day. I have three papers due tomorrow and have been working on one for most of the evening. I need to quit procrastinating and just get it done, but I wanted to make sure that I get my post in for the day.

I will be glad with the day comes this semester when I'm done crunching and I can either read or crochet without feeling guilty because I'm not doing my school work. The end of the semester is always hard though because everyone always assigns the most. So, I think that instead of just being a crunch day, this will probably be a crunch week and I'll try to get some of the future projects done before their due dates to relieve some stress.

In AJ news, I'm thinking about taking him to visit his old Kindermusik class. Laura has been trying to get me to visit because our small infant class is still together minus AJ and I and apparently there have been so many changes that it warrants a visit to see all the babies growing up. Like my boy...


Just learning to sit and chew things with no teeth... I think he was somewhere around 5 or 6 months


Sitting up like a pro, eating like a pro, with all of his teeth... oh with a cap... at 1 1/2 years

No idea

Ok, so I've been sitting here a little while trying to decide what I would write about. My life is full of school work and nothing else that it would be boring to talk just about that. I don't have much else to say about the pregnancy right now because I'm waiting for my ultrasound on the 12th.

So what I want to talk about:

How I'm trying to tame the Christmas beast


I'm ready to go on this Christmas thing... but I don't have the time or the money right now to go all out to get Christmas started here. Plus, it might just be a little too early seeing as we haven't even passed Thanksgiving.

So, what have I been doing to stop myself. I keep telling myself that I'll wait until tomorrow because I have too much school work to do today. I fully plan on going and doing layaway so that I don't have to buy all of the stuff up front right now. And by tomorrow, I say that everyday so that it continues to get pushed off for the ever illusive tomorrow.

Either way, I'm excited for Christmas this year and I can't wait to get started.

NaBloPoMo

I actually can't believe that it is this time of the year again. It shows me how long I have been following some of my favorite blogs because I read through them last year. I didn't participate last year though. But this year... I'm gonna try. :-)

The goal: post everyday for the full month of November

I think I can do it... my blogging has be slacking lately.

Here is what I'm gonna post today:



It's not a very clear picture because it was taken with my phone, but I thought it was so cute. I did take some better pictures with my camera but I need to find the cord for it... which may turn into buying a new cord for it because I've already looked ;-)

Scroog

Or however you spell it. I felt like that with my last pregnancy on my babyfit message boards. The first trimester is so annoying when it comes to other pregnant women. We are all about 5 to 9 weeks along right now and they are already talking about how they definitely look pregnant. Give me a break... I don't care how many kids you have had, you don't have a baby bump at 6 weeks!

Yes, I feel that my pouch is sore and getting harder, but would I say I have a baby bump? No, I would say that I look like I'm getting fatter even though I've lost 2 pounds so far. So, forgive me if I spell this wrong but I must be the pregnant Scroog or something.

In other news, I was told that my lab work came back great but that I have a bladder infection. The bladder infection wasn't surprising.. and I believe I've had it for a few months now. So, I'm on antibiotics and I can definitely feel a difference after 4 days of medicine. I wish that they would have elaborated on my lab work a little instead of telling me it all looks fine. I want to know why they took so much blood, what it was for, what it all means. Oh well, I go back to the doctor on Friday, and I'm looking forward to it. I believe I'll be 8 weeks and that should be late enough to hear a heartbeat!

As the previous post has said, I am preggo with #2! We are very excited. Actually, I was going to wait to tell people, but Aaron sent out a mass text message within the first hour after telling him. So, there is no point in hiding it now.

I've already had someone ask me if this baby was planned. Honestly, it wasn't. We had been trying for a couple of months and then felt that it wasn't the right time with the money problems, house problems, and other problems going on. But in the family fashion this baby didn't want to be planned, but instead waited until we were sure that it would be better to wait instead. So, I can tell we'll have another hard headed stubborn baby :-). Not that that is necessarily a bad thing.

How far a long am I? Well, when scheduling my doctor's appointment they said 6 weeks, but I'm leaning toward 4 maybe 5. My cycles are longer than the average, and doctor's don't take that into consideration up front. The same thing happened when I was pregnant with AJ. I knew I was 4 weeks and they said I was 6 and then had the ultrasound and it turned out that I was exactly right. The only difference is that now, I don't know the exacts of my cycle since it was still all over the place, so I can't pin point a due date like I did with AJ. I'm thinking it will be around June 11, 2010.

Something else that we're thinking about doing is not finding out the sex of the baby. While I would love to know if it is a little girl later on, I think it would be a lot of fun and very exciting to wait until that day. Honestly, I want it to be a girl, but of course if it's a boy there are positives to that too. Like, I already have a ton of boy stuff lol.

So, that's the scoop so far. I have my first appointment at the end of this month, and I'll definitely give an update about this then!

BFP

Quick update.. more to come later after school work is done... this little lady is a little lady growin' a baby bump!
