You would think I would have learned

Husband was home late from work again last night- so rather than do what I vowed to do the LAST night I got not near enough sleep- I stayed up to watch the Indians... WORTH IT! Cabrera had an awesome homer and then Kipnis had a 3 run homer, then I fell asleep (although they continued to win even without my loyal devotion). So I again woke up to my 4th alarm going off telling me I had a whole 5 minutes to be out the door. Made it 2 miles down the road and realized I left my jello cake on the counter- so OF COURSE, I had to go back home to get it. 
1. It would have been ruined by the time I got home since we don't have our A/C on and it's almost 80 out and
 2.It's jello cake- enough said.

For those that don't know the joys of jello cake- you make a regular cake (white is best, but yellow will work), bake it accordingly, allow to cool. Then stab it full of holes with a butter knife (keeping it in the pan). Then prepare jello according to the package (two flavors works best) and dump the hot jello over the cake. Refrigerate a few hours until it is all cool. Top with whipped cream and enjoy! 

Some of the best combos we have done are Blue Rasp and Strawberry or Raspberry (good for 4th of July), Peach and Strawberry, and Grape and Strawberry- the mother in law swear this tasted like bubblegum. This is one of the BEST desserts for the summer, and as I noticed this morning, half of ours is already gone, and it is NOT due to me and little squishy.... Daddy was the culprit!

Tomorrow is my youngest brothers First Communion. I get to visit my old grade school and hopefully see my other brothers and sisters and family. Then it will be a date day with dad- shopping at the Big Red Wagon baby and maternity sale and then a movie maybe Sams club (squishy makes me go through applesauce and juice in bulk) and probably dinner. I am sure if my grandparents come a late breakfast early lunch will be in there somewhere- the weather should be GORGEOUS to be doing errands, so I am very much looking forward to it! Basically by the end of the day I am sure I will NEED the maternity clothes I am stocking up on!

Lorax party tonight- finished project below:

Sunday will be garden day and maybe Saturday night will be the first official bonfire of the summer, we shall see...

Finally starting to feel a little more stable and less hormonal, AND have been 3 days sans Seabands. Trying acupuncture for the back/ stomach problems next week, and yoga if I ever can find time for it (currently sleep ranks a little higher on that scale). 11 weeks tomorrow, 3 days until we get to see squishy again, 2 1/2 weeks until we are DONE with the fertility specialist! It can only get better :)

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

Caden William

After a short two hours in the outside world, Caden, our perfect happy little boy was taken to the nursery to get checked out and cleaned up. A nurse came in shortly to let us know that regrettably, Caden was breathing a little faster than he should have been and that he would be moved to the special care nursery (NICU) to be evaluated. Usually babies are there about 24 hours and then are good to go back to mom and the regular nursery- and he just needed a little extra attention for a few good hours.  Dad had just left to go home and shower and gather himself. I called him, still calm and collected, and still surrounded by family. I was worried sick about my little boy and my dad took me in my wheelchair later to see him in his incubator. To sit and only make contact through a little hole with your baby is about the most helpless feeling ever. His little chest was going at what seemed like a million miles a minute. The nurse explained that his box was helping regulate his oxyge

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
