Boy is it a Monday?!

You know the feeling, the alarm clock goes off at 515, you realize it is Monday, groan and roll back over praying the alarm clock will just Go Back To Sleep! Then the realization that the alarm clock is really your child who WON'T just go back to sleep hits you and you groan LOUDER in hopes your husband will crawl out of bed but remember IT IS Monday so he will be going to work and lunches and coffee must be made, breakfast organized and finally thinking about all of this makes you sigh and crawl out of bed, Shuffle to the bathroom where the god awful bright light hits you harder than the morning wake up call. 

That's the beginning of my Monday. 

After attempting a cup of watered down coffee, subsequent of my attempts to clean the coffee maker, I organized a crappy breakfast and threw tuna into the lunch box. And then I crashed I to the couch for an hour of a movie that C paid zero attention to. All the while Kyle got ready for work and realized our sink had fallen from the countertop in the Kitchen and said basically to not be surprised when I hear a crash today. Great. 

THEN C was exhibiting sleepy symptoms an hour before his typical nap time. I carried him up, read a story and left. An hour later he was still screaming bloody murder. I decided to run out and do errands to get him out of the nap mindset. I slid by McDonalds for a sweet tea and 2 hash browns: 1 for me and half for C (the other half just "disappears"). I finish my errands and get home and realize there was only ONE hash brown. Ooooo was I a grumpy mess. We split it in half and then I attempted putting C down for a nap. 20 minutes later, a success. I FINALLy was able to just sit and relax. Until I realized there was a mess in our bedroom from attempting to organize our new closet system. I worked on that and then talked on the phone for a little while and by this point C was up again. Lunch was next and even though my to do list is insane because I keep putting it off, I have finally succumbed to relaxing on the couch for an hour. Which is not necessarily relaxing considering C is busy throwing shoes around and chasing the dog which is a story in itself. It is1230 and I am ready for bedtime, mine not his! 

And I end this Monday post as I hear the loud crash of Megabloks being emptied from the container all..over..the...floor. Tuesday is welcome to visit at any time!

"This should be interesting..."

After getting both kids to bed (before 8pm mind you!) I have finally had time to sit down and decompress. My morning started out with Emilee stirring in her crib around 4am. I quickly grabbed her and put her in our bed to fall back asleep as she normally does. She started stirring around again at 6am which was my cue to get out of bed and get dressed and ready to leave for her eye appointment. I woke up with that "this should be an interesting day" feeling and low and behold, it was. It was 6:55 when I realized that our wonderful sitter hadn't arrived yet. She is never late, even the one time she thought she was going to be late she was still five minutes early. So when she wasn't here at 7, my mind went crazy. Was she in an accident, had something happened with her family... the list went on with the craziness of Philly news. I sent a text at 7:05 and nothing. I finally switched from worried mom mode to get-in-the-damn-car mode to make the appointment on time. (I...

I am One Month!

Wow how time really flies! Things were so hectic at the end of the pregnancy that I realized I never kept you updated. Birth Story: Well, long story short on 22 July at 10am my water broke. I called L & D and they said to come on in to get monitored and to check the fluid levels etc. Kyle and I thought maybe we weren't really going to be admitted (you know maybe I had had an accident haha). We decided to do the trip to the hospital as a trial run. We got what was left of our bags packed, loaded up the car and stopped at Wendy's for some Chicken Nuggets. (I wanted to make sure I ate something in case I was really in labor and wouldn't get food for a while (Smart thinking on our part!).) So we arrive, they do some awesome monitoring and evaluation and sure enough there was a water leak! They said I would have 24 hours to deliver otherwise they would have to do a c-section. Well for those of you who are reading this and know me, I was scared of getting a c-section (as...

Weeks 23 and 24

Once again things got pretty busy and I did not update for week 23. This is mainly because my sister, brother in-law and nephew came for a visit! It was a great week full of food, Blue Angel Practice Show, Exploreum, putt putt golfing, some shopping and so much more! It was a great opportunity for Kyle and me to be tourists in the town we live in. All in all it was awesome to spend time with the family and show them around. 23 weeks was rather uneventful in terms of Connor. We did have a doctors appointment last Monday and the doctor wrote me a prescription for Nexium for the AWFUL acid reflux that I was having. Now I can enjoy food again without the terrible burning sensations. He also told us that the 20 week ultrasound showed a nice healthy baby with "no gross abnormalities". I could finally sigh in relief knowing that the ultrasound came back great. Now to actually see Connor and check for all 10 fingers and toes! Otherwise he is kicking and hitting up a storm. Kyle was...
