Pictures as promised!
I know I'm REALLY late with this, but things around here have been CRAZY!!!!!!!! I'll explain more later, but here is a picture. Taken yesterday b/c, alas, I never got to it last week.
Here's another one b/c DS HAD to be in the picture with me. But isn't this just precious?!?!?!
Okay, onto the craziness....
Last weekend they took our system down for an upgrade at work. Supposed to be up Monday at 6 AM. I get on a little before 7 and there is a note....not gonna be up until NOON! Okay, fine. Noon rolls around (this is Monday remember) and still no system. Finally at 1:30 we get an email--it's down until FURTHER NOTICE. Okay...so at this point, I've gotten in 2.5 hours of my normally 10.5 hour day. I was TICKED! So I quit at 1:30 and took a nap b/c I had yet another headache. Woke up from that a little after 4, have to go pick up DH car so we go pick up DS and off we go to get the car. We get home, still no email that our system is up. Headache is finally gone (it was a sinus headache, not a migraine--thankfully!) so I go to bed. Up bright and early Tuesday morning--still no system. So at this point, I decide I'm not wasting another day of daycare so I cancel daycare. 830 system comes back. Oh but wait...not for those that work AT HOME! So we have to wait even longer....it did not come back up until WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!! So for 2 days, I sat around home (well not really b/c I did do a few things around here) constantly checking email and constantly wondering how in the heck I was going to get my time in that week. It was like I was on call and I am not paid to be on call! So Wednesday I worked 12 hours....Thursday I worked 12 hours and Friday I worked 11.
OH MY GEESH! I was wiped out every day. Saturday I was dragging b/c I was so darn tired. And then I had to work yesterday b/c I am off this Thursday and Friday to spend some quality time with DS. UGH. So when I wasn't checking email those 2 days last week, I was working in the baby's room, no where near the home computer or my laptop. And by the end of the week, I was horizontal on the couch w/in 10 minutes of being done working. It was BAD!
So that's my craziness, but it was a helluva week and I hope we NEVER have to do that again! It sucked so bad!!! So here I am. :) Sorry for the delay in posting but I just couldn't sit down at the computer last week and type out a long post.
Dazey said she thinks I need to come up with some girl names b/c she thinks it's a girl. Believe me, I would LOVE to come up with some girl names. But I got nothin'! Neither does DH. I found out this week that DS thinks a brother is a girl and a sister is a boy.
So, if you ask him--is mommy having a brother or a sister? He says sister.
If you ask him--is mommy having a boy or a girl? He says boy.
So this whole time I've been thinking girl b/c of what he's said and he's got it backwards! So now, all signs point to a boy. :) Oh well, I will be thrilled with either one.
Remember the first tag of 2008 I did? If not, check it out here. I said if I could have dinner with anyone, it would be an ex-friend Tiffany.
You are NEVER going to guess who I had lunch with on Saturday?
Yep--Tiffany. How is that for odd? And eerie?
She called me Friday morning straight out of the blue and asked if we could meet for lunch on Saturday. I said sure. We met, she apologized and said she'd done a lot of growing up in the year and a half and that she missed me as a friend.
I about fell over! I was thrilled to talk to her. We sat there for 2.5 hours at Applebee's! So it looks like an old friendship has blossomed again. We are not the BFFs we were and we may never be--well we won't be b/c I have one BFF and that's superjayman! I can tell superJ anything and everything and vice versa. I USED to have that, for the most part, with Tiffany, but not anymore. But wow. Talk about starting the new year off right!
Okay, I have rambled long enough. I have got to get back to work. I'll try to post again this week. It SEEMS to be calmer, but it's only Monday. :)
Have a great day!

24 WEEKS!
WOO HOO!!!!
What does 24 weeks mean? It means VIABILITY! Not that I want my baby to make an entrance any time before 38 weeks, but if he/she would at this point it would have a chance for survival with a lot of challenges and a lot of time in the NICU.
As for me, I am doing fairly well. Went back to the doctor this week. All is well. I need to keep my body hydrated to really help with the migraines. And it has, so that is good. As for the baby, well, I am measuring 3 weeks ahead (meaning as of this past Wednesday I was measuring 26 weeks instead of 23). But the doctor isn't concerned...YET. The baby/uterus hasn't settled down into my pelvis yet and when it does and it's still big, then she'll start thinking seriously about it. I will have an ultrasound between 34 & 36 weeks to help determine the baby's size at that point and we may induce a littler earlier just to make sure I can safely deliver this one vaginally. DS was 8# 15 oz, 22 inches long, so I am accustomed to big babies :) If this one is a little smaller, that's fine...but I still would like at least 8#. I like em bigger and fatter! :) Doc thinks I won't have a problem with that one at all. We talked about an induction on May 1 if I don't go by then and assuming baby is not too big at that point too. DH thinks it will happen on April 28 (DS birthday) naturally. He thinks I'll get up that morning and get in the shower and then my water will break. Then both my babies would be born on April 28.
Have you all seen dazey's blog lately? She's having TWINS!!!!! How awesome is that?!?!
I'm going to have DH take a picture of me today and then I'll get it posted this week. I go back to the doctor in February, then at that point I start going every 2 weeks until 36 weeks...then it's every week. ARGH!!! I told DH this yesterday and he got kinda freaked out about it. He was like--"oh wow, you're that close? Guess we need to get some names narrowed down." We have boy names picked out--Nicholas Matthew (Nic), Elijah Matthew (Eli), and Izaac Jeramia (Zac). I like Izaac b/c then I would have Zac and Xander. :) But no girls name yet. So I guess this must be a boy, right?!?
Thanks for the recipe and freezing ideas. I'm going to try a few things today while the game is on--GO COLTS!!!! I'm outta here. Have a GREAT day! :)

Any make ahead meal people out there?
I am frustrated with the whole cooking thing. Every weekend I have the greatest intentions and plan a menu for the week. I even buy the food. But most of the time, after working all day I am EXHAUSTED! So this weekend, I am planning to cook ahead for the week. I must admit, I am a cook ahead virgin. I've NEVER cooked ahead before. NEVER! How do you do it? Is it hard? I am fully prepared for it to be time consuming, but HOW much time are we talking? All day? 2 days?
So I've been searching the internet for some tips. I've found a few, but that's it. I am scared. I hate the thought of another week of "what's for dinner?" and my reply being "whatever you can find." I've come up with 2 meals that I can freeze ahead of time--meatloaf and lasagna, but I need more. Before this baby comes, I want to have some HOMEMADE meals in the freezer that we can pull out if there is no one staying with us (i.e, mom) to cook for us.
I am in a soup mood this week so I am going to make Roni's lentil soup again for the week and vegetarian chili. That should cover at least 2 nights, if not 3. But I know DH won't want to eat soup all week and DS won't even try it. ARGH!!!!!!! I think I only need 5 nights, so just have to come up with 2 more. But I am just struggling. This mom thing can really stink sometimes. When it was just me and the hub, I didn't always plan meals--it was just whatever we had on hand (usually a helper meal, which we no longer eat) but now, I want to eat nutritious meals that I have made. It's just so difficult!!
So, I am asking--any of you out there that read this--even the lurkers--come out and give me some ideas! I'll take any and all suggestions/tips you can give me. This is so new to me. Cooking ahead. Who would've thunk it?!? :)
I hope you have a great weekend!! I'm off to do some more research and see what I can find.

First tag of 2008!
Thanks to Chris for the tag!
1. If you could fly where would you fly to?
Australia--I've always wanted to go and one day DH and I plan to take our whole family...one day.
2. If you could sing one song for the rest of your life what would it be?
That's a hard one....I really don't know. I love all kinds of music and songs. Maybe Butterfly Kisses b/c my dad sang that to me on my wedding day and I always tear up when I hear it.
3. If you could have dinner with any one tonight, dead or alive, who would it be?
Oh this is hard. There are a couple people. I would have to say an ex-friend Tiffany. She ended our friendship for really stupid jealous reasons and I never got a chance to defend myself or explain things and it's bugged me ever since. Other than that it would be BFF Superjayman b/c she lives so far away now and we can sit and talk for HOURS!!!
4. If you could learn to dance, which one would it be?
Ballroom--I love the elegant feel it has and everyone always makes it look so easy.
5. If you could hug 5 people, who would they be?
DS, DH, mom, dad, and my grandma
6. If you could take every one you knew out for dinner, which restaurant would it be?
St. Elmo's Steakhouse--it's one of my favorites but too pricey for us to go with anyone else.
7. If you could fix one thing physically in yourself what would it be?
The lip I have on my stomach. Even when I was 144#, I still had this lip of fat. I WILL have it removed one day though.
I tag anyone who reads this. :)

So I spent Thursday afternoon in the hospital
Thanks to that wonderful migraine, my doctor sent me to triage to get some fluids and some serious pain meds! I woke up yesterday still with a migraine. The Vicodin I had taken the night before didn't even help. I hadn't slept a full night in almost a week and on top of all of that I was severely dehydrated. I have no idea how I was dehydrated b/c I drink so many fluids...water, OJ, lemonade, diet coke, etc... But I was. It was so bad when the nurse put the needle in my arm, my vein blew and now I have a HUGE bruise bigger than a half dollar on my arm. It's not pretty!! The doctor sent me home with a script from Ambien and orders to NOT work today and to take it easy this weekend. NOT A PROBLEM!!!! DH had to come get me b/c I had driven myself to the doctor and after the high dose pain meds and narcotics, I wasn't allowed to drive. But man I feel tons better. Baby is fine too. None of this affected the baby. The migraines are driven by hormones per my doctor. She also told me to basically keep some caffeine in me at all times. At least one coke a day if not 2 that way the blood vessels in my head are not constricted thus causing a migraine...caffeine helps alleviate that. Who would've thunk?!?!
Oh and I slept better last night than I had in WEEKS!!! Thank you Ambien!!! :) I slept for 11 hours straight.
And this funny story to end with....the nurse in triage was trying to find the baby's heartbeat (it was 130 for those keeping track) and when she stuck the wand on one place of my belly, he/she kicked me right where the wand was. It was hilarious!!!!
I wanted to say thank you to swizzlepop for the wonderful idea of getting another chair to rock the baby in and letting DS have the one he was rocked in. I mentioned it to DH and we just might do it!! I love the idea of him someday rocking his babies in that chair!!!!!
Gotta run...have to go pick up my car from the hospital. The is the one thing that sucks about not having any family here. Oh well. At least DH has a flexible job!!!
Have a great one!!!

Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a safe and happy New Year's Eve!! And I hope all of our hopes and dreams can become realities in 2008! Here's to a great year!!!
First of all....MIGRAINES SUCK!!!! It is now 4:00 here in Indy and I have been battling one since 11. NOT fun! Then, I ended up vomiting (sorry if that's TMI) so I quit work and laid down for 3 hours. SO here I sit, eating some lunch and I can still feel that d@mn migraine but now it's at the back of my head, not the front. This is one of those pregnancy things for me. I got them when I was pregnant with DS but they didn't last this long into it. And I've never thrown up with one before. I hope and pray it's not the flu and I don't think it is b/c I don't feel bad otherwise.
Remember how I told you about DH and the big contract? Well, it's been pushed back for now. It's a technicality thing (for lack of a better word). One of the vendors that wasn't chosen in the top 5 questioned about the scoring so they had to pull the RFP and re-do the scoring. It's just a set back for now, but him and his team think they made it before, they'll make the top 5 again. But now it looks like it may be May or June when he has to go out to WA to demo it. That might be interesting for me! Alone with 2 kids!! ACK!!! But he told me not to say anything about it anymore. He thinks I jinxed it b/c we told a few people. He's superstitious that way. But that's fine too. So just say a prayer that he gets in the top 5 again....when the time comes!
The one thing about being pregnant on January 1st....no new year's resolutions to make! WOO HOO!!!! I would like to be back in the 150s by this time next year, but I can't exactly take those steps now. :)
We got the crib together for the baby's room on New Year's Day and then got all the stuff out of the attic. Holy Crap! There is a lot of stuff that babies require! DS had so much fun helping us get it all out and get stuff together. But he was NOT happy when we took the rocking chair out of his room to put in the baby's room. That made him cry which made me cry. We will probably put it back, we were just trying to see where everything was going to go. But he was heart broken! We decided that before the baby arrives we are going to do something special for him...we just don't know what. Like a DS weekend. We may go to the children's museum then out for cheeseburgers (his one food group he will eat now!) or take him to Chuck E. Cheese (although both DH and I would rather pull our fingernails out with pliers than go there!) or to a movie or ??? I don't know. I have no idea!!! Any ideas out there?? We tried asking him what he wanted to do and that didn't go very well. I may put all the options we can come up with in a hat and let him draw one out. I am sure if he had his way (and me too!) we would take a weekend and go to Disney for a day or 2. That would be the ultimate, I think. But that requires a little bit more money than I am willing to spend.
I made one of Roni's homemade soups last night. It was AWESOME!!! I had never tried lentils but her homemade lentil soup recipe looked so good I had to try it. DH liked it too. DS wouldn't touch it. That's okay....he's going to start eating stuff he doesn't know he's eating b/c I bought Jessica Seinfeld's new cookbook over the weekend. Deceptively Delicious looks to be an amazing idea. I went to the store the other day and I am going to try to sneak a few things in on my DS. Lately he has become a picky eater. I don't know why...maybe just the age, but man it's getting old! He loves cooked green beans, carrots, broccoli, and corn on the cob, but he won't venture to anything else. I've tried numerous times to get him to eat sweet potato fries and he wants nothing to do with them. SO I am going to give this puree thing a shot. I'll let you know how it turns out!
I better get off here. DH called and I have to pick up DS b/c he is swamped at work. So I am going to get him while the headache is at a dull point. I will probably take some Vicodin tonight (ok'd by my OB) and then go to bed early. I'll check back later!!! Have a great night!!

I've tried numerous times to get him to eat sweet potato fries and he wants nothing to do with them. SO I am going to give this puree thing a shot. I'll let you know how it turns out!
I better get off here. DH called and I have to pick up DS b/c he is swamped at work. So I am going to get him while the headache is at a dull point. I will probably take some Vicodin tonight (ok'd by my OB) and then go to bed early. I'll check back later!!! Have a great night!!
