Not sure where to start.

I am not even sure where to start with this post. First I guess I can't believe that it is December 9th. Where the heck did this year go? It has went by so fast and I can't believe that in 2 months my baby will be 4. 4?!? Umm, how did that happen? I just had her yesterday. I can't believe that in just 4 short months that I will be a mom to two.

I really want to be a good blogger. I want to sit down everyday and recapture what happened that day and I really have no good excuse for why I don't. I just don't for some reason. Being a better blogger will definitely be on my list of New Year's resolutions. Bug has been so funny lately and I find my self saying "I really need to get out the video camera." or "I really should write that down somewhere." but I don't. And then two days later I have forgot what it was.

We found out that baby to be is a boy!! Big Daddy and I are over the moon excited about it. Bug on the other, umm, not so much. When the ultrasound tech announced that it was a boy she started crying and loudly proclaimed "I don't want a brother, I want a sister.". She got down in the floor was quite for a few minutes and then looked at Big Daddy with her little finger pointing and said "This is all your fault.". LOL

I haven't started buying anything and won't until it is almost time for him to get here. I am just weird like that. I almost feel like I am going to jinx it. This of course drives my mom insane. She wanted to go out and buy everything as soon as we announced we were pregnant. She did the same thing with Bug.

In other very exciting news I am getting a niece or nephew. My brother and sister in law are pregnant! They are due in June. I am over the moon happy for them. I am also excited that my baby will have a cousin just two months younger. I hope that they will become the best of friends.

Blah

You definitely do not want to come to our house right now, we all 3 have the freaking swine flu! Ugh!

Tuesday, Bug and I woke up with what I thought was just a cold by today mine had gotten some what worse and I thought it had turned into a sinus infection. So I decided to go to the Dr. and take Bug with me just to be on the safe side, I couldn't believe it when the Dr. came in in and said that we both had tested positive for the swine flu. We came home and told BigDaddy the verdict and decided that he should go and get checked and yep, he was positive too.

The best news...I can't take anything for it and just have to suffer through. Oh the joys of pregnancy!

You would never know that Bug has the flu because it hasn't slowed her down a bit. I just want to lay in the bed and she is wide open.

Big News

I totally have to get back into blogging everyday, because big things are happening in my family right now and I don't want to forget anything. Now for my big news...I am having another baby!!

We are super excited and Bug is really happy that she is going to be a big sister. Although she frequently tells my belly these days that she is mad at you baby brother (she has decided that it is a boy) for making mommy sick. LOL

I am 10 weeks right now and I am due April 9th.

The Beach

We just got back from Gulf Shores, yeah, the one that the media is making look like a big oil slick andit was beautiful. I honestly have no idea where the news is shooting what they are showing. We didn't see any oil, it smells like the beach, and the locals are bending over backwards for the tourists. The news channels are hurting the beaches so bad.

My family had a great time! I would leave and go back right now if I could.

Ahh

My baby is getting so big and it makes me so sad. She has informed me that she has to start going to school or me and daddy will go to jail if she doesn't. LOL I think that she got this from my parents while they were trying to convince her to go to preschool.

Saturday, I was watching my cousin's 2 month old and I was overwhelmed with having 2 kids and to top it off the baby was very cranky. Bug told me she had to potty and I told her that she would have to go by herself that I couldn't put the baby down. She pouted for a minute and then ran back to the bathroom. A few minutes later she comes back and says "I peed, wiped, flushed, put on my panties, and turned the light off. Are you proud of me?" She has never done that by herself before. I though that I was going to cry. LOL

I wish that I could just freeze time for a little while.

Such a good feeling.

I love it when you have those days, that you just feel like you got so much accomplished. It seems like your bed feels just a little more comfy that night. I am having one of those days. Bug went to spend the night with her aunt and uncle tonight and I got in the yard and did some yard word. It felt so good! I used to cut the grass all the time before I had Bug.

We leave on Wednesday for vacation and I have this huge long list of things that I need to get done. I am glad to be able to check off the grass cutting and weed eating. Tomorrow I will work on packing and cleaning the car. Tuesday I will have to get the house spotless. I am on of those people that just can not leave a dirty house and go on vacation. I want to come home to a nice clean house.

Common Courtesy

Is it just me, or do people seem to be lacking common courtesy these days? My gripe for the days is on gift giving. I know that with the digital age thank you cards seem to be a thing of the past, but I would at least like a thank you. There are several ways that you can get in touch with me and all I am asking for is a simple five second "Hey, I got the gift, thank you."

I am tired of taking money away from my family to buy a gift for someone who doesn't appreciate it.

Wake Up Call

So, not a lot of people know that BigDaddy and I have been trying to get pregnant with number 2 since last June with no luck. We have been very discouraged but have said that it will happen when it is God's time for us.

Well today I think the big guy gave me a little reminder that he is still in control. Today I had my 3 year old and my cousin's 7 week old all day. Oh my!! I honestly do not think that I could handle two kids. I think that God also knows that.

He was so adorably cute and sweet, but it was a lot of work. Bug tested my patience to the max today. She was so super clingy and whiny today.

She has been asking daily for the last 3 or 4 months now for a baby "buddah" or baby sister and today she informed me that she did not want a baby anymore. LOL Maybe little miss priss realized that it wouldn't be all about her anymore.

She Makes My Heart Sing

Bug has a stuffed puppy that she made at Build A Bear a couple weeks ago that she has been carrying around everywhere. Today the place where they stitch it up came undone and the stuffing was coming out. So, I doing what any mom would do had to preform emergency surgery.

Bug was so happy that she looked at me and said "Happy Mother's Day"and gave me a huge hug. I was about it tears it was so sweet and so perfect. Moments like that are what makes it all worth while.

Day 2

Today was day 2 of my new lifestyle change. I am feeling great and very positive! I feel like I might actually be able to wear a pair of shorts this summer or maybe even a cute summer dress.
The diet pills are working ok. I'm not feeling jittery or anything and the are definitely curbing the cravings. I do have a bit of a headache but I think that this might just be caffeine withdrawals.

Now for some cute Bug news...She has started 1 day a week mom's day out on Mondays. So, Monday I pick her up from school and I am asking her all the standard questions. "Did you have a good day?" "Did you get in trouble?" etc when all of a sudden she looks at me and says "Momma, you are getting on my nerves." I couldn't help but to laugh because truth is she probably heard it from me.
