Brrrrr!

What. Was. I. Thinking?!?!? Holy moly it is cold. All. Over. The. US. 49 out of 50 states are literally at or below freezing temperatures. Is this what the dinosaurs felt like during the Ice Age? Thankfully, it will warm up by the weekend but I am refusing to go outdoors until these temps hit at least 32 degrees. In philly the temps are supposed to feel like -22 with windchill. That is just wrong. It's so cold the zoos actually brought in the polar bears! I'm just lucky enough I don't HAVE to go outside. The only perk to all of this is how nicely my wedding ring fit. Nice and loose and comfortable. Haha.... We have to find perks where they exist.

It has been almost a week since 2014 hit and so far it's been successful. We have been organizing and cleaning out for a more productive year. The office/playroom is almost organized (once a bookshelf gets hung and my desk organizer from amazon shows up. Which the crazy weather has delayed now almost 2 days.) Connor has his new room broke in and sleeping at night is a breeze. Nap times he still throws one hell of a fit and sleeps on the floor. The basement is on its way to a "man cave". And our closet is going to be organized once the organization unit arrives Wednesday! 

Connor has decided 5:50 is the time he prefers to wake up. Like clockwork every morning. Which means this mama is crashing by 9pm unless it's a day daddy gets up and I can make it until 930! I really don't mind the early mornings and we realized his early to bed, early to rise situation is based on the fact that both Kyle and I were that way throughout childhood. Only on occasion do we sleep in or go to bed later than 10/11. (Midnight was hard to stay up for-- which is why I passed out for an hour before the new year haha). Even the days Kyle doesn't have work and let's me sleep in, I am up by 8am because I'm unable to sleep any longer. Oh the joys.

The rest of the week consists of more organizing and attempting to stay warm. Not too much is planned this month, which is welcomed considering our crazy schedules of November and December.  

That's about it for now... I'm going to snuggle up with my blankets and Connor and watch some more dinosaur train! Stay warm my friends!!

"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...
