Maybe it’ll be every month….
Thanks to Desertmama and Bonita for getting my butt in gear to post! I’ve been meaning too, really I have, but I’m not going to lie when I tell you my life is complete chaos and I do everything I can to not go over the edge!
Our holiday was spent traveling all over the country. It was an unbelieveable week. Driving here, flying there, driving to another here….when we all got home all 3 of us had the stomach flu BAD. I couldn’t believe it. For the first time in my married life I really wanted my mom! But, we all survived. I ended missing my first day back to work and I’m still catching up on laundry, but we will survive! Pretty much anyone who walks into our house ended up with our sickness. Even two weeks later someone got it….I realize they could have gotten it from anywhere, but it’s quite ironic!
Baby and I are doing well. I’m gaining weight quickly (again) even though I feel like I continue to make better choices this pregnancy than I did last. I’ve kind of resolved myself to accepting my body is going to gain weight quite easily unless I A) exercise all the time…which I’m not doing, sorry, but I go to bed instead! and B) putting absolutely NO BAD FOOD in my mouth…and really, every once in awhile, I’m going to have a chip with my chili. But in all seriousness, my eating has been MUCH better this time around and I”m really working hard at not stressing out too much about the gain. I”m still keeping track on my weight progress page, so I can look back on it a year from now and realize how much I really kicked ass in losing it all! Which, by the way, I’m really looking forward to!
We are still moving and I know it will be great. We are starting a house hunt and really struggling with that. Moving with kids and putting our personal wants aside is proving to be very hard for us. But I know we’ll find the right house that will hopefully make all of us happy. We’ll put ours on the market at the end of Feb. and in all reality, can’t buy until we sell anyway, so why stress? However, looking at houses online has become my new hobby!
Our ultrasound is on Wednesday! I’m really struggling with whether or not to find out the gender. We didn’t with our 14 mo. old and it was so fun. However, I’m trying to figure out what I can do to make this one equally special and thereby different from what we did before. We also have to put a ton of stuff into storage (I swear, we have so much stuff it drives me nuts!) and if we know we are having a boy, I know what to keep. On the other hand, he was born in Nov. and this one will be born in June, so other than those initial onesies, all the clothes will be different anyway! So I don’t know. I’d love to know what it is, but I sure did love the surprise, so it’ll probably be a last minute decision!
So that’s all from here. I made Roni’s sauce tonight, but had to make some modifications because my store didn’t have turkey sausage. I hope it turns out ok so we have good leftovers this week!
I’m still reading your blogs! I thought about joining Swizzlepop’s exercise challenge, but I don’t want to disappoint myself…..because seriously, I go to bed ASAP every night! I am SO TIRED this pregnancy! And there is no way I”m going to get up early to work out! Anyway, keep up the great work. I’ll check in Wed. after my ultrasound and let you know what we decided to do!
Cheers!
Good to see you! Glad to hear things are better after the flu and it sounds like 2008 is off to a good start even if it is busy.
I’ll be starting another exercise challenge for Feb. (monthly seems to work for people) and I think it would be great if you joined. You set the goal and it’s just to stay accountable. Think about it and let me know, and remember walking 20 minutes a day is moving and that is the goal :).
Good luck on Wed.!
