A Good Time

Family shower was yesterday- and it was a blast! Getting to see aunts and cousins and just spending time with everyone reminds me how much family means. The cake was amazing- the same kind we had at our wedding, the food that everyone made was GREAT- cookies, pretzel salad, pasta salad, mocktails, fruit salad and chicken from Chick-Fil-A (even pregnant I am pretty easy to please food wise).





Afterwards daddy got to enjoy unpacking, unwrapping and washing. Having the "stuff" for our little man makes him even more real and even closer than before! Cousin K got us the baby necessities, aunts got us clothes, cradles and a stroller and grandma went overboard with everything under the sun (including a Mike Wazowski onesie!). We couldn't be happier or more thankful to have such a great family and that even with as large as our family is- we still are able to stay in touch and do things that people with small families have a difficult time doing.

Dr. K is of course to thank for the majority- she planned, threw and went beyond anything we expected. It was one of the best weekends we have had in quite a while- and have been napping all day to compensate for all the commotion! I've also been finishing up leftovers... you can' let cake go to waste you know!

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...

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 ...

Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes

So the weekend brought back the every 4 hours a Zofran and the sporting of my Seabands. BUT today I got this: "Holy Crap"- Daddy While it saddens me that Daddy can't be here to see every appointment, I know that he will be there for the big ones, and then for all the other big moments in little Squishy's life. I guess I was also more nervous than I realized during the appointment, as I broke out in a mysterious rash on my chest that alarmed all the nurses as they withdrew what felt like 10 quarts of blood! Spinal testing and Thyroid testing next week, then a 2 week follow-up and then I will officially be done with Specialist #1, and onto the next! A very big move. Mother's Day is also nearing, and we are bursting trying not to tell anyone, and while I am getting rather "showy" as my husband says " we just avoid anyone with a keen eye." The problem we will have this week is that the Lorax cake will be delivered to a VERY keen eyed hou...
