I cannot get enough of it. Just IV it for me K?

Woot!

Change of plans! We're flying out to see my family this year and we leave TUESDAY! I won't be back until January 5th. That's right, I get a 2 week vacation.

Life is WONDERFUL. One more work day and I can spend my holiday in peace. I really need a break from work. I'm starting to get burned out and I have been very negative lately. I need some space to just remember that it's just work, not personal, and time to take a step back.

Nathan had his first Christmas play today. He was a shepard and had actual speaking roles. He did very well. I was so proud of him and I can't believe how big he has gotten. Such a great kid I have :)

I can feel the baby! It is awesome. Just little quivers for now but it is enough to make me smile.

Still feeling morning sick. Still exhausted.

I'm ready for bed at about 6pm...which is pathetic.

I'm excited about the next two weeks in Nevada and California. It's amazing to think by the time I get back I'll be 17 weeks and just about ready to find the sex of the baby. Which means we're 1/2 way through the pregnancy. I cannot believe how fast it is all going. I cannot wait to hold the little one in my arms :)

Home with the sickie kid.

He woke up with pink eye and a achy ear too. Just keeps getting better. He's so sick and cuddly though. He just wants to be by his momma and I feel bad that my mother in law will have to get him soon. I kinda wish I could just stay home and cuddle with him.

Tonight is my Christmas party. I am excited to go but a little iffy about not being home with Nathan. I guess I'm super maternal since I'm pregnant. Normally I wouldn't really care but I like being the mom and making the pain and sickies go away.

I'm sure I will have stories tomorrow. :) Stay healthy!

We had our first scare two days ago. I was about to go to bed when I realized I was spotting. It took me 2.5 seconds to freak out and think of all the bad things that could be happening. I called the doctor early the next morning and they got me in right away. That's what happens when there is a huge snow storm and no one wants to leave their house. They cancel all appointments and let us crazy people come in right away :) I was thankful.

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the 2nd time in two days. LOL. It made me feel good. Doc wasn't worried at all. Looks like it was just my baby growing and pushing stuff around in my insides. Awesome.

Nathan is sick. They didn't call us to come and get him but they wouldn't let him play with any of the other kids. He had to sit in another room my himself and read books. To me that seems a little harsh. If it's not bad enough for us to come and get him, why make him feel like a freak? Not to happy about it. He's going to stay home with me tomorrow for a while and then go stay with grandma so I can go to work. It is so hard to be a mom and work full time. Sometimes, like when my kid (soon kids) are sick I just want to be able to stay home and take care of them.

We're supposed to be getting a blizzard this evening. 6-18 inches which is a pretty wide range. I love how weather people can be that vague and still get paid. It's like me saying "we will get between 100 and 10,000 units out today" Just isn't acceptable that way is it? However, I guess that's why they get paid the big bucks...and I do not.

Today we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. We are at 13 weeks and SO EXCITED. Hearing the heartbeat always makes it that much more real. I started crying and I could tell Mike was 100x more relieved now that we could hear it. Best sound ever.

Well, here is to the blizzard. We shall see how bad it actually gets. Hopefully not to bad and people show up to work tomorrow.

One more week and I'm out of the first trimester! I'm very excited about that. Things are supposed to calm down once you hit that part and then we just deal with all the growing pains till the last semester when you've grown as big of a house. LOL.

I'm still feeling sick. Last night was horrible. It might have been more than just the baby...some sort of food poisioning perhaps? I'm not sure but I was asleep by 9pm after being sick for hours and hours. This morning was a little better but still feeling weak and dealing with nausea.

Things are moving around inside. I can feel my stomach expanding and things moving around in my abs. My pants that aren't maternity are starting to get tight and my shirts are starting to get too short. I'm glad we went shopping for clothes when we did.

I'm enjoying my 4 days off very much. I really needed some days to destress and work on the house. If I felt better I'd be doing more but It will get there. Mike is redoing the floor in the living room tomorrow with the new wood flooring we bought on Black Friday. GREAT DEAL. New floor for our whole living room for just $200. Awesome. He's going to do that so I'm making sure the livingroom is ready for him. Lots of laundry today too. We have so many clothes. We need to go through them and give some to good will.

Next Dr. appt. is December 8th. I'm excited to hear the heartbeat and learn more about how our little one is growing.

Things are pretty much the same. I have more energy in the morning but I'm still pretty exhausted by the time my work day is done. I'm really really glad I'm done with school till January 12th. Still feeling sick. I hope that I can shake the morning/noon/night sickness soon. I can feel things progressing and I can already see that I'm showing. So weird. It's amazing how fast things progress in the 2nd pregnancy.

Work has been hell. I'm sure that doesn't help the exhausted part. I constantly feel like I'm chasing people around and babysitting all day long. Very annoying. Too many hours and not enough days off are making me very weary. I'm excited for 4 days off for the holidays. I can really use 4 days to clean the house and spend time just cuddling with Nathan...and taking long naps.

Thanksgiving will be spent with Mike's family for a very small dinner. We're doing turkey, cheesy potatoes, green beans, rolls, and not much else. Just enough for a family of 5. :) I'm looking forward to Christmas with my family. I miss our traditions and just laughter and fun. Mike's family is fun too...it's just going to be weird with the size of group. I know we're going to be watching some football and working on baby hats. Just what the doctor ordered for a day of rest. :)

Not for me. For my sister-in-law who just adopted a wee one a few weeks ago. They're out visiting from Michigan so her mom is throwing her a shower. I've been in charge of the games and I'm picking up cake and balloons.

Caleb is adorable. It makes me excited to think that in just 7 more months we'll have a new wee one of our own. It also scares the hell outta me...the 24/7 attention that they need. Where in the hell will I find 24 hours a day? I barely have an hour now to take a shower and pee in the morning and then I'm going till I pass out on the couch. It's all pretty overwhelming but I'm enjoying the little dude and then will develop a plan once all the chaos of having family in town brings is over.

Speaking of showers...I actually came home from work, took a long shower, picked out clothes (rather than fumbled in the dark for them), and did my make up and jewelry. It has been MONTHS since I've worn jewelry. I need to spend more time on myself but how? Again, where does this mysterious extra time come from?

Sigh.

I could use a snack and a nap. This getting pretty thing is rough. LOL

What a day.

I discussed Saturday with the boss man and it was decided I did not have to be at work for all 12 hours. Setting them up and getting them going was enough. This means I'll be out by 10am or so. Awesome news since I get to see my new nephew this weekend. I want as much time with him as possible...which means I have to fight off this cold.

That's right. I'm achey, sneezy, throat scratchy, and all around feeling crappy. No surprises since my mother-in-law has had it for weeks and so has many others at work. I can't afford being sick during finals week, work being so busy, and did I mention my new nephew is in town???? AHH!

Today work was insane. It started off with an email about a production run we messed up that had made it to the DC and even to customers. Nothing bad with the product, just short. So after investigating that mess I had a million other things to do. I felt behind all day long. I'm running around like crazy being the only supervisor this week. Builds character right?

Sure.
