family gone

Family left this morning and it will be nice to get back to a routine. Friday we found out that daycare is closing in 2 weeks......... Yes that would be July 23rd!!!! To say I am freaking out would be a under statement.. I have called other day cares and they have openings for a 2 year old but not a baby. Or they are $45.00 more a week than what we pay now!!! The thought of bringing Von to a daycare that he doesn't know and leaving him with someone who he doesn't know.. scares the shit out of me!! I know kids are tough and I will be the one freaking out more than him...... but I still don't like it. I'm not a fan of in home day cares because of 1 person that I used to know that had a very dirty house and I know that not all in homes are like that. Big day cares scares me because I don't want Von to get lost and be just another kid there. your damned if you do.. and damned if your don't.

Chris packed the car up with more stuff from our house and Von. He dropped me off at work and proceeded to the new house to paint his heart out. We are planning on moving everything this weekend. cross all your digits for us.

More pregnancy issues this weekend and I wasn't even doing anything!!!! so I continued to do nothing...... I'm 23 weeks now and counting down the time to have this beautiful baby girl and last child!!!!!!!! No more pregnancies for me!!!!!

no health and welfare called today!

So I get a call from Chris yesterday, he explains that he was cleaning the garage out  for the ever so famous move, Kaleb and Jackson are playing with Von in the front yard. He hears the boys inside, he goes in and asks where Von is. In return he get "I don't know"..... Chris runs around trying to find our sweet child and finds him 2 blocks down and that he has crossed the street with his red wagon. We live on a corner and a very quit subdivision, THANK GOD!!!! Von was trying to turn into the school park and his wagon got hung up on the corner fence. If he would have gotten to the park who knows what would have happened!! thank god I was at work!!!! I'm sure I would have had this baby right then and there!

busy busy busy

Here we are again.... I read my friends blogs and they are all cute and witty. Here I am trying to figure out something to write.

I have been pretty busy and at the same time I feel like I don't do anything! We are still in the process of moving, most of our stuff is packed. Chris brings car loads over to the new house every time he goes there to paint (which is only 2-3 times a week due to his work schedule).. it seems to be a very slow process. We have had a few people step up and offer their services to help us move and we are forever grateful! I ended up back on bed rest last week. I don't do anything, yet the issues still come. All I can do it watch and monitor myself and how I feel. It is going to happen if I sit and do nothing or do a few somethings. I am currently 22 weeks and so excited to almost have this cute little girl in my arms. I mean she has to be cute!!! Von is!!!

My mom, brother and the 3 kids came to Idaho on Friday. I miss my brother so much... It is so hard to be away from him. It amazing to think how we used to fight like cats and dogs and now we are so close. I know our kids will fight, I just hope that one day they grow to be as close as Erik and I. Erik flew home on Sunday and I was very sad to see him go... I wanted to run through the airport chasing him while crying my eyes out! I'm sure he would have loved that! The rest of our time with the kids has been very busy. We take them over to the new house and I sit while they swim. They love the water and Von loves his cousins. Von follows Emma everywhere she goes. He sits on her lap and holds her hand. Kaleb and Von don't have to much to go on, but Jackson and Von play really well together. They play cars and Von pushes Jackson on the firetruck and then Jackson pushes Von. Its pretty cute. The boys sleep in Von's room and through the monitor all you can here is giggles and talking. It reminds me of when I was little spending the night with my cousins....  I hate to say it, but they are a ton of work! I am exhausted....... It is nice to come to work just to have some piece and quite. They go to their other grandmas house tomorrow morning and I wont see them again until Sunday night, so I am trying to enjoy every moment I have with them. My dad and sister in law fly in Friday and then they all drive home Monday morning.

After everyone leaves we will really crack down on the moving, as we have to be out and house cleaned by the 31st of July. My mother in law is going to come over and help Chris clean the house. There really isn't much I can do as I don't want to have anymore  issues holding this baby in!

Until then..... Enjoy the sun and bring on the tan!

so much

We are moving AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! augh....... We are moving into the in laws, as they just purchased a new ( to them) home. We have to be out of our place by the end of July. I am packing very little as I don't want to push myself. I pack a box and leave it in the same spot and wait for Chris to come move it. Nothing hard, picture frames. Its amazing how it seems when you move everyone is MIA.... We will have the in laws help us, I just hate to see them work so hard. They already have to move their own house, clean the new one, move us and move my brother in law... Chris will be left to clean our house, I will do what I can but with all my bed rest it wont be much.

We bought season passes to the water park. We took Von last Monday, he is so damn cute! He loves the water. Chris took his down the kids slide.... the look of terror on his face was too much. Then he got to the bottom and he was so happy! He loved the wave pool, he likes it when the water pushes him back. Funny little fart head. We all used the same sunscreen, but Chris and I still got very sun burnt. At least Von didn't.

lots of lying around

Its been a long couple of weeks. I ended up having a semi urgent amino 2 weeks ago due to bad test results.I was on bed rest through that weekend. The amino was pain I NEVER  want to feel again! I was in horrible pain the first 2 days and then felt fine after that. I woke up on Tuesday to lots of cramps and other issues. We rushed to the hospital and ended up in our OB office. They did a ultrasound and the baby was safe, did other test and said bed rest for the next 2 days. I was scheduled to go back to work and I was still having issues. I went to work for 1/2 day and ended the day in the OB office again. We found out from the amino that I have alpha feto (sp?) protein, it caused the high numbers for the spinal bifida test and it can cause women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters to bleed and in the 3rd trimester to have placenta aprupta ( I think that is the right word). It is where the placenta tears away from the wall and you have the baby early. So I went back on bed rest for the weekend. So frustrating and scary... but at least we know what it is. I went to the grocery store with Chris on Sunday and just walked... not fast or slow.. just walked. I didn't pick anything up, just walked. Well Monday morning I woke up to the same ol issues I was having.. So I guess that means no more walking far distances or grocery store. Some may say that is fine by them, but I enjoy going with Chris.. O well I guess I can give it up for a few months.  But through all of this we found out we are having a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!  We are all good, just hanging out. Von is good, a little stinker.. but good. He must be growing up because he is in EVERYTHING! I think he is finding some independence. Chris is good, working and more now with me on and off  bed rest. He is burnt out on school... but he is still plugging along. 

house showing

We are renting and they are foreclosing... Now they are trying to sell it. We have had several people come to look at it.. yay for the owners... sucks for us. I have to make sure all Von's toys are picked up, kitchen picked up and beds made before I leave in the morning. sucks! I need to start collecting boxes for us to pack but I just don't have the care to do it. We wet to the OB and got to hear the heart beat!! I love that sound.. makes you feel all better. I volunteered Chris to help a friend cut down his parents dead 35 year old tree....... It was very nice outside and they finished the job pretty fast. I of course supervised and tanned my legs.. we bought passes to the water park and hopefully we get to use them soon. I came home yesterday to Chris and Von on the kitchen floor with a new aqua-doodle that Von got yesterday.... Very cute site..

Sick of poop!!

We found out the house we are renting is being foreclosed on!! Yay us! They are going to try to short sell it. Meanwhile we have to keep the house picked up (with a 2 year old)... I got a call that someone wanted to see the house on Thursday. We picked up the house Wednesday night, Thursday I wake up to dog poop in the bedroom!! I want to kill them..... I get everything together and get Von to him Mom Moms. I picked up Von from him Mom Moms and found out that he was sick all day, very sick.. Took him home and no sickness!! Thank god... I cant handle puke right now! Got home and the garage smells like poop.... yes the dogs pooped in the kennel!!!!!!!!!!!!Chris had a softball game, which he was pulled out of because he was feeling so crappy and not playing well. Von woke up several times that night throwing up. He doesn't talk, so no warning sign.. A little cry and then puke. I rush him to the bathroom, where Chris has to take over while I run to the other bathroom. Von had a 102 temp and we put him in our bed. He got sick a couple more time and then was wide awake at about 3:30!!! Needless to say I was very tired on Friday. Chris ended up having to call in sick because of Von and him not feeling well either. The last time Von got up I stepped in dog poop..... I could only cry then. I don't know what their problem is... They are house broken and are not neglected. they are spoiled!! Von was better on Friday and got sick a few more times on Saturday. Chris went back to work and I think I got a little touch of it on Sunday..

Mothers day was very nice. We went to the Sunrise Cafe for breakfast, a busy busy place. Then we came home and took naps. Went to the mall for some much needed maternity clothes. Had dinner at the in laws.

This morning Chris goes to let the dogs out and what do you know........... poop!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are now sleeping outside......
