Half baked!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant today... we're half way there if I make it a full 40 weeks, which I'm pretty sure is unlikely.  But it's a nice marker either way.  Christmas can't come soon enough.  I want to get to the snuggle the baby part, and just skip the pregnant part.  It's not my favorite. 

But it's Saturday - that's prenatal yoga day so that's cool.  And tomorrow there's a yoga class/fun stuff, but I don't know if I'll have the cash on me to do it... blarg.  I hope someone buys something I'm selling so I can go.   Fingers crossed! 

Tomorrow is Mom's 70th, so we're going to have dinner here - I hope that goes well... I'll be baking bread and my sister will be making a lasagna and buying a cake even though I offered to bake one.  She wants to go to mom's new favorite bakery and that's just fine with me.

That's all I have for now!

OK, so I skipped yesterday...

But we found out who the next Doctor Who will be!  That is very important in this house.

Today I put out a call on Facebook: Anyone interested in coming over and playing with a super cute baby so I can clean? And an acquaintance responded and came over!  She came over around noon with her six month old and stayed until about two.  It was amazing!  I got the kitchen (which was scary) in to a much less scary state.  

I'm now making bread dough.. it's rising right now, but I won't be able to bake it off until tomorrow (I'm all about the no kneed bread!) but I can smell it and I want the process to go quicker then it is!

That's it for now...

Slacker!

I need to get back to writing a blog.

What's going on with me?  I have a 9 year old, a 15 month old and I'm 19 weeks pregnant.  Yikes.

I go to yoga once a week, but I need to step that up.  We're hiring a doula this go-round because we think the extra help would be nice.  I also plan on getting the placenta encapsulated.  I guess I could do it myself, but... eek. 

I'll be back to write more tomorrow.  This needs to become a daily exercise.

New Year...

Happy New Year... I'm ready for 2012.  Walt and the kids went home today... I'm going to miss them.  I wish I could take those kids in and get them away from their horrible situations, but I can't afford to take in 5 kids.  It really sucks.

I'm so tired today... I'm physically and mentally wiped from the holidays.  Lindsay had a great birthday though! 

I'm too tired to think... Laters...

Had my A/S Friday...

So everything went well - HB 158, weight 15oz (fiftieth percent!), I'm still not finding out what Little L is but I did find out I have an anterior placenta.  I'm getting so many kicks - I'm going to be in trouble later!  I've been feeling this little kicker since 12 weeks approximately... with an anterior placenta.  It does explain why all the kicks I feel are to the right... But I was shocked to find that out.
I was in there for nearly an hour because the baby would not stop moving... We finally got a profile of the face with the second tech - yep, they had to use two techs. The baby did tell us that it was number one though - a little fist with the pointer finger up!  It was really cool... I'm a little sad that this will be my last u/s barring problems, so I'm hoping that it's my last in that regard!
I also found out I passed my one hour glucose test with flying colors... thank goodness!  All in all, a great trip to the midwife's office!

Brendan and Little L got to play!

They were playing poke and kick for about 10 min last night!  It was super cute, but I was so tired - this happened when we were laying in bed - I had to call the game off and go to sleep!  He was very excited that he got to play with the baby last night... he was nearly giggly...

Lindsay...

Tonight as she was going to her bedroom stated:

I love you Mother

I love you Father

Merry Christmas Mother

Merry Christmas Father

No butt tonight...

Wow... I guess I do gab her butt too often...
