It's hard to keep secrets

First Shots Ever

3/18/2012  Happy St. Patrick's Day! Well day after St. Patrick's Day anyways- when those pink lines first showed themselves :)

I woke up, knowing that the date on the calendar was etched in my brain as the first official day t be able to take a pregnancy test and get a real result. I knew. I knew the next day. It was a feeling that I have never experienced before. I was in the shower and I told my husband, "it worked, I think I am pregnant." He laughed and figured I was just making conversation. Our path to get here had been so intense.

In the last 24 months, we each gad major surgery- he had an appendectomy, rotator cuff surgery and then hernia surgery. I spent no less than 6 nights in the ER fighting migraines, kidney function problems and ended up with 

It's hard to describe the feelings or excitement at 7am while I try to remain calm until the husband wakes up and wanders into the bathroom to see the slaughtered bunny.... Yes, in true fashion I jabbed a knife through an unsuspecting rabbit and gave him "X" eyeballs.

8:30 finally came, why on Earth of all days does he sleep in!? This isn't vacation!! OK- so maybe it slipped his mind what today actually is- and maybe we both blew it off since our 3 day "window" was interrupted by yet another ER visit and days of sickness. Someday we will turn in our frequent flier miles and get a free lunch in the cafeteria! But sure enough those boys could swim, and despite the odds managed to find the target- (in MY mind proving it is a girl, because let's face it- I am a WAY better shot than him- picture proof above). We laugh, I cry, and we sit in amazement that oh, man.... what have we done!?

Intestinal-Abdominus Who- I. Hate. You

This is how I feel currently- insert various stomach/ abdominal organs where Who-names are located... I am on Day Two of an antibiotic for my Bladder, in addition to the "pre-diabetes" med- which my Chiropractor kindly commented, aren't we all "pre-diabetic?" Thank-you Dr. Bill!, the prenatal vitamins, thyroid meds, Align, the extra Fiber, the colace, and the spiked apple juice that are all trying to combat my overstressed and non-working intestines. It's really like a party in my stomach right now! I feel like my medications have enrolled in e-harmony and are looking for their perfect match and just keep getting more friend to visit! Someone really needs to cancel their 90 day free trial! Basically I am miserable, I am up constantly at night to pee, then I can't go back to sleep (even though I don't turn on any lights so as not to disrupt my body's internal clock). By the time I do fall asleep my husband is leaving for work and then I have...

Just one of those days

" Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here...THE TANK IS CLEAN?! The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish. - curse you AquaScum !!! "  Quick- name that movie! ... anyone?  Finding Nemo of course! The sun IS shining, it IS a temperate 63 degrees out, and I am at work- with my beautiful view of the dumpster where the elderly man frequently confuses the stairwell for a bathroom and the trashbags for a free buffet!  In addition to that little chunk of heaven- I get to go rounds with one of our companies. Without getting into too many details- it's like trying to explain to a deaf person what sound a cow makes- doesn't matter how many times you write, act out, draw or mime- you get the same result- a blank stare. Normally, I can tolerate this company and the stress, craziness, stupidity and insan...

Livin on a Prayer...

"Oohhhhh.... we're half way there...." Actually, a week beyond half way there, and yesterday- the official 21 week mark was nothing less than eventful. I managed to lose another "friend." At this point, I think I have changed my outlook of things and realized that people come and go- the friends that stick it out are the ones worth keeping- the ones that just come around when they want something- even if that something is just gossip to pass on to their own judgmental families- those friends are not worth it. Three weeks until our first shower- and it is so hard to believe that we are getting to that point already! I know it will still be a little early for the traditional "shower time frame"- but it means alot to have my family there, and being able to catch the growing cousins before they traipse off to their various colleges and school lives means alot. I come from such a large family- that people don't believe me when I tell them that ...
