Funeral

The sewing machine didn't make it out alive. I don't understand why they couldn't have told me before Friday... But they waited.

Bum traded it in for a refurbished industrial machine. Aside from a few fun stitches, it is all that the other machine was and more. I love it.


The morning before he did that, Cookies threw my phone in the toilet. I sobbed for hours about all my things getting ruined. Stupid and selfish- but hey, I am allowed.

Bum also managed to get my cell to work. MAgic I tell you. The sweet stuff like that reminds me why I married him.

So we had a funeral for the machine, a near death to the cell phone, and a rebirth to sewing.

I miss caffeine

I am still trying to cut it out entirely. Nutjob that I am. I drink a Coke now and then- gets me going a little- but never enough. I miss my coffee, but the smell of it brewing is not so good to me these days. I think I will gain less weight if I don't drink the sugary drinks (I gained 54 with Cookies- YIKES!). Maybe it is the energy I miss more than the actual caffeine. I have more of it this time around than I did with Cookies, and I am already over the majority of the pukeies, despite the fact that I chase 2 wonderful toddlers around all day... It will be interesting to see what we are having.

I should be getting my sewing machine back on Friday, which makes me SO happy. I feel like I have been missing a limb. I finally broke down and called the shop, because I have heard NOTHING for over a week. he said by Friday- so hopefully Friday is a good day.

Sob...

My dog just broke my sewing machine. I got up from it and went to answer the phone. Suddenly I hear a dog scramble and spin to see my $400 machine flying through the air. It crashed onto a cement floor. I don't know what to do. Bum JUST bought me it for Christmas. I was going to finish a quilt this week so I could start on outfits.

I don't think I want dogs anymore.

zzzzzzzzzzzz

Cookies woke up at 5:30 this morning. Between that and my multiple bathroom trips at night- I think I slept all of 4 hours. I want to go to bed. WAH!

August 17th

That is the big Ultrasound day. Just over a month away...








Bubbles the naughty baby. Backside up- see that pretty white line? That is baby spine. (Head is to the right)

Today

Friday the 13th rocks. Always been a good day for me- and today is no different. This is the least morning sickness I have had in weeks. Tomorrow will probably suck, but for today... I can eat, at least a little.

Babies, Babies EVERYWHERE!

We had an appointment yesterday- it went great. Bubbles is NAUGHTY and hid from the heart doppler- so guess what? We got ANOTHER ultrasound! I have a picture that I will take a picture of and post it soon. Everything looks GREAT so far, and I have my BIG ultrasound on August 17th. I gained a WHOPPING 3/4 of a lb- go me! I just hope I can keep that up.

Girl had Doogal. He is GORGEOUS and wonderful! Jess' Sweet baby boy is finally here! I can't wait to meet him. Jess rocked the house with her labor- almost 3 straight days! So many babies are arriving, and you would be amazed at how beautiful they all are. Amy found out she is having a boy- YAY! I feel like the luckiest person in the world right now with all these babies being born.

She loves him

I hope all of our babies love their Daddy as much as she does. She has been his little shadow the last few days. It is precious. I love them.


Here is 13w4d. My jeans are getting to small- I lasted much longer in them than last time- hopefully that is a good sign. I don't want to gain 54lbs again.




I have a doctors appointment today- and we get to schedule the half way ultrasound- this time, things are flying.

Keep Jess and Canape In your prayers today. Jess is off to have her beautiful baby boy. Canape just needs some virtual hugs. Cletus would have been due today. I am so glad bird is doing well.

I just...

Bought Cookies new crocs- REAL crocs. The Mary Jane ones- I even let her pick the color. So stinking cute. Guess what happened. My mom lost one.


Damn.

Our 4th

I put away my hat today and just had fun with our friends (Instead of worrying about the camera)

Cookies and Daddy at the Zoo




Cookies and the Twins. They are 3 weeks older than she is- and they are all a HOOT together!




Cookies loved the Seal lions so much she needed to give them a smooch!

Thats right- we went to the zoo! We went with our friends from our birthing class. We hadn't seen each other in over 6 months, so it was great to get together again. The girls all adored each other, as we knew they would. They also all loved the animals. Cookies has never taken such interest before- but it was near impossible to pull her away from all the fish!

The day way completely devoid of fireworks (again) which made me cry- cause babies should have sparklers. I called my mom crying about it- so guess what the awesome woman did? She got sparklers and we are going up to their house Saturday so this Momma can get her fix!

I will post a few more pictures later- Cookies wants her MILK!
