Baby Maggots

Alivia and I were talking the other day and I told her that if we have a baby boy his name will be Maddox. She said she didn't like that name and wanted to call him baby tyler. That's the baby's name at the babysitters house! I told her that his name won't be tyler it will be Maddox. I asked her if she could say that and she said "Maggots!" We'll have to work on that!!

I'm so glad xmas week is over it was totally crazy. We started off tuesday night by going to a visitation at a funeral home. That was the perfect start! Santa always comes to our house the night before xmas eve, with us being out late tuesday night and Rob had to work all day wednesday we decided to do the Santa thing xmas eve night. On Wednesday, Alivia and I woke up and went to the funeral. She decided she wanted to go home with my mom. I was able to go home and get the Santa stuff ready. When Rob got home from work that day we finally went to my mom's to start xmas! When we got home that evening I felt like it was a little chilly in the house, I went to crank up the heat and discovered WE HAD NO HEAT!!!!! We have a home warranty and of course they said they couldn't get anyone to come out until Friday morning, and it was wednesday evening!! It was 28 degrees outside Wednesday night. We survived the night and got up the next morning and opened our presents then we started to go to Rob's mom's house for xmas. We got about 5 minutes from the house and the heating guy called and said he could come right then!! So we turned around, he was able to get it working temporarily so we were very grateful, we ended up being 2 hours late to his family's house which made us 2 hours late to my family that afternoon. It was very rushed and not relaxing AT ALL!! I was, however, very impressed with how my house held the heat. It only got down to about 65 degrees in the house. We normally keep it at about 74 so it was a little chilly but not unbearable.

Today is my friday, I'm off xmas eve, I never work that day, it just feels like a holiday to me, my office is closed on new years day and i figured heck, i'm not coming in just for friday! So hopefully, these next few days will be relaxing!!

good point

this morning rob was getting ready for work and i said "can i have a few dollars for lunch" alivia was already in our bed and said "mom, dollars are disgusting for lunch!" i cracked up, i guess she thought i wanted to EAT the dollars FOR lunch.

my nephew brayden is potty training, last week amber said to him "brayden i'm so proud of you for being potty trained" he said "mom, i don't have a potty train!"

Week 7

So we're 7 weeks pregnant. I've been feeling HORRIBLE!!! I'm pretty sure this is the same way I felt with Alivia this early on. I've lost 3 pounds and I haven't really been eating. Nothing sounds good and I think I'm afraid to eat! I've been taking my vitamins and I'm not sure if that's one of the reasons I haven't been feeling well. I got such a good start on christmas a few weeks ago and now I haven't done anything the last few weeks-all I want to do is lay on the couch. This week the baby is starting to grow it's brain, which I think is so funny because last week it started to grow eyes and a nose. I would think the brain would come first!! If I don't start feeling better I may just decide to sleep through the first trimester and start again in week 13!

I was telling Rob that I feel so lucky that we've been able to plan exactly when we wanted to get pregnant and that it only took us two months each time. I know there are lots of people out there that want to have kids and aren't able to or it takes them forever to get pregnant. I'm not bragging, I know how fortunate we are. I wish everyone who wanted kids was able to or I wish they could just take kids from parents that don't deserve them!! I never understood how there could be so many dirt bag parents out there having a million kids they couldn't take care of and there are so many good couples out there that can't have kids. It doesn't make any sense. Anyway, I have been feeling this for the last few days and just needed to write it down!

I found out I was pregnant with Alivia the day after thanksgiving in 2004. Since we were trying again this fall, I just KNEW that I would find out I was pregnant the day after thanksgiving again, i mean why not??? Well that day came and I took a test and it was negative--i didn't believe it so later in the day I took another and again, negative i was slightly disappointment especially when my sister in law found out she was pregnant that day and then later in the day I found out my cousin and his wife were pregnant!!! I figured my time would come and i just needed to be patient. Well last night I still wasn't feeling confident about the test I took last Friday so i stopped and bought another. I went home and took it and the indicator line was faint. I wasn't sure what to think so I took another this morning, again the line was there but was kinda light so my sister talked me into taking a digital test (which, by the way, are by far the coolest tests!) and it popped up and said PREGNANT!!!!!!! YEA!!! I should be due around Aug 5th. With alivia, i was due on Aug 4th and had her July 16!
