A Little Stress To Go With The Good....

It has been forever I know and I apologize. I don't know why I've not been on much. Tons of distractions in such a quiet way of life I suppose. Every time I hop on here, I'm on for exactly 4 minutes and 27 seconds and then something happens to where not all my e-mail gets read and I leave a page up and come back to a husband or father upon the computer in my place. Good luck on getting back on ha ha.
Let's see...Update time...Hannah. Oi vay! My darling daughter whom I love soo much. We are battling right now and it's just loads of fun, ha ha. For some reason she has regressed on her potty training. When we got here she was completely out of diapers, even at night time. Well now all of a sudden (well within a few days ago) she has begun to pee herself and pee the bed at night. Last night she actually didn't pee the bed which I'm excited and so far today, no pee accidents. It's just so odd...And our temper tantrums in public have gotten so bad I refuse to take her out. It's like she used to be this great little girl to take out with me and now if one thing sets her off oh boy howdy watch out! Screaming at the top of our lungs and freaking out. Yeah loads of fun...So I leave her at home and avoid it. But for everything else, she's doing really well. We're working on her colors and shapes right now and she's sort of getting the hang of it. She loves yellow I've learned. I hate yellow, ha ha.
Abel. Well, he's doing well just going crazy out of boredom. He's one of those guys who has to work and be outside and if he isn't doing one or the other than he gets cranky. He hates not working. But he got great news and ended up passing the interview process and now has a physical tomorrow and then an abilities test next week over in Fargo which he'll have no problem with. He basically has the job so he's a bit better to deal with. His last boss had him brainwashed into never using unemployment and they always get laid off during the winter. We'd be broke and barely any food or money and so our parents would begin helping us out for the wintertime. It was hard. Well, we got over here and my dad told Abel he's been paying into unemployment, and to collect from November of 2008 until he gets this job and begins getting a paycheck. We need money and he won't get a paycheck until like March. So Abel put in for it and got accepted and will be receiving unemployment benefits for about a month or two. He hates doing it but when you have no money and no other options...His last boss wasn't a very nice boss at all so I have resentment built up mega load for him and am so glad to be gone from that place. Log building was something Abel loved but he was making so little and never got any benefits or anything so it was a horrible job. We're very blessed to have him getting this railroad job.
Me and baby are doing great which is such a shock! I'm not used to being 10 1/2 weeks along and still no cramps or any troubles. I'm waiting for the ground to fall out under me in a way because I'm scared I'll be at ease with everything and then WAM! when I'm not expecting it you know? But I had an ultrasound last week that showed baby moving around already. Great heartbeat, it was 170 already. And the egg sac was a perfect circle. Which even with Hannah, I never had a baby with a perfect egg sac. It's always been kidney bean shaped. My heart is starting to act up on me, getting all tacchy on me but Dr isn't worried, he said he knows why it is acting this way and he'll be putting me on medication soon. As with the gestational diabetes. I have a few more weeks of eating whatever I want and then I get to begin testing my blood 4 times a day and doing the meal plan. I hate counting carbs...Let's see..Due date is August 20th. I had some issues with the nurses in the hospital here already so I have requested to be induced in Bismarck and deliver there. This hospital sucks and is not equipped to handle any sort of emergency with a baby so that scares me alone. My doctor is awesome and knows exactly what is going on and has dealt with my case thousands of times which put me immediately at ease. I don't regret coming here at all. I'm 10 weeks a 4days so far like I said before. The dreaded 11th week is only 3 more days away. Dr. Lindemann says not to worry he seriously doubts anything will happen. He says that with all my other miscarriages, the fetus had stopped growing at 7 or 8 weeks each time and then I miscarried at 11 weeks, not that the baby died at 11 weeks, that's just when my body discharged the baby. So he said there is no reason to worry. It gives me great relief, let me tell you what! So I thank you all for your prayers. That's exactly what is getting the baby and me through this. Prayer.
I still have morning sickness at night and first thing in the morning. If I eat right away in the morning I'm fine and as long as I eat right before going to sleep I'm usually good too. I began this pregnancy at 160m I'm not scared to report. But I have yet to gain any weight. I'm eating every two hours at least and eating all kinds of junk too and yet nothing. I had that nasty stomach bug and lost 9 pounds so that's why I'm desperate to put on weight. That and I want a huge baby belly! With Hannah, I carried her in the back because my uterus is flopped backwards, so I never showed with her. I got wide but that was it. The day I delivered, I looked like I was maybe 6 months along if that. I'm already showing with this one and I want to get bigger out front and actually carry in the front this time! LoL. I love baby bellies.
And that's pretty much it right now. All caught up. Forgive me for not e-mailing some of you. This is faster and I don't get much time during the day to write. You should hear my mom yell at me, ha ha. Ugh, I turned 24 a few days ago. I don't feel different, just weird. I hate the thought of getting older with nothing to show for it you know? I have yet to do anything wild and crazy! But with Abel getting this job, I told him me and my bestie, Shayla were taking a trip somewhere with no kids or hubbies and we're doing something wild. We're talking about New York. I'm totally excited!
I hope everyone else is doing well. I have 9 more weeks untilw e find out what we're having. I'm hoping for a girl and Abel is hoping for a boy. I'm almost positive we're having a boy. Ugh...LoL. I've dealt with my little girl for 2 1/2 years already! What the crap am I going to do with a penis!?!?! LoL. I've picked out two girl names that now I'm not so sure if I'm still crazy about them or not. Analeigh (pronounced Awna-lee) or Jayleigh. They are totally rare and not out there often but really unique and I like unique but then again, as I'm Jewish and as are my children, they sort of need a name with Hebrew background. I've got plenty of time ahead of me, you will so be hearing thousands of names, haha.
Anyhow, the UPS man just came and dropped off Hannah's new bike. I'm off to go put it together! Yay!! Wish me luck and I shall be on more often! Love to all!!

Catch-Up!

I have let waaay too much time lapse as I realize that Miss Gucci Mama herself had bestowed a marvelous award for me and here I am slacking and not doing as I should!! So now that I have a few moments before rushing off to do dinner and clean up a HUGE disaster in my room thanks to my lovely two year old (Jealous aren't you?) LoL. I'm going to accept this award and do as it is required to have it. Yay me! Haha. Rules are as follows:
A) First list 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!
B) Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

Ten things about me:

1. My most favorite show in the entire world is Friends and I most closely resemble Chandler. I have no clue about the opposite sex, I hardly ever dated and was a idiot when I did, and used my humor as a defense. And all the time, haha. That and he's adorable and hey, so am I. LoL.

2. Right now, my most favorite craving is a big, salty pickle with a tall glass of ice cold chocolate milk. Oh my gosh, it's an orgasm in my mouth!

3. I wish I could play the guitar. I can play a clarinet and am proud of it but you don't ever hear of someone jamming with their friends with a clarinet. LoL.

4. Once I know how to make a person blush, I do it frequently. I don't know why, just that it entertains me. My cousin can't handle female body parts or the word "sex" being said out loud. I say these things frequently in her presence, hehe.

5. One terribly deep dark secret of mine? I used to suck my thumb........Until I was 19 year old...Horrible isn't it? Every so often I get the urge to do it still! It horrifies me. (No I haven't sucked my thumb since but still, haha)

6. I despise socks with holes. When I find a pair of my husband's socks and they have a hole in them, I tear them to pieces so he can't reuse them at all and throw them away. I hate holes in sock...

7. I shout at people when watching TV. They never listen to me though!!If it's a game show I get REALLY vocal, haha. Jeopardy is great to watch as well as Deal Or No Deal. I get it from my dad.

8. One of my life goals is to visit every state in our country. I have to see every state. So far I've made it to 16 of them and this summer will increase that number by three.

9. I don't care for pizza. When we go eat pizza, I have to eat mine with mayonnaise on it. Sounds gross but it is soooo good. It's because I used to work at a place that served a BLT pizza. Best pizza in the whole world!

10. Ummm.....I crave McDonald's dollar cheeseburgers daily. I HATE that place and they are worthless in my opinion but I adore their cheeseburgers.

Ok those were my lame listings. But I did it! LoL. I know I'm to pass this along to a number of blogger friends but Stephanie is friends with those that I'm friends with and got to mine first, haha. So I'm making this for anyone who wants it. Have at it and have fun!

Lovely Doctor

So, I'm in love with my new Ob doctor. LoL. Not like THAT! He is fabulous!! He spent the first 45 minutes of my appointment going over every detail in my medical history. He calmed my nerves about a few issues and told me that the things I had been told by my previous doctor were in correct and he fixed my nerves. I am soo happy to have him!! Then he told me he didn't think I was 6 weeks along and wanted to do an ultrasound. So he wheeled in the ultrasound machine! He does all of his own ultrasounds right there in the office! Talk about awesome. So I got to see my little baby! It was so beautiful. It was all curled up and moving around a little bit which was good to see. I got to see it's heart beating fast and furiously which was awesome. And everything was perfect the Dr said. It was implanted perfectly and for once, the egg sac wasn't mis shaped or anything funky. Although the size of the baby was bigger than 6 weeks. So now he thinks I'm 9 weeks instead of 6. Which kind of sucks because I had two due date buddies and now I'll have none!
I go in to have an ultrasound via the techs at the hospital on Thursday, blood work and another appointment on Tuesday of next week. I'm off of bed rest hooray! He says that bed rest does more wrong than right and in my case, it will only develop lots of blood clot so I need to be on my feet as much as possible. If I cramp and bleed, it won't stop me from doing so, just lessen the flow and everything. So hooray for being emancipated!! LoL. Doctor wants to meet my family and the best part is, he is a Christian and told me to not stop praying. He thinks I'm going to be blessed with another baby and said that he can only do so much and that God takes over the rest. How awesome is that? o finally have a doctor who will admit to God having all the power? Yay!
Abel called after I got home and everything is going ok on that end. He has to stay another night because there were so many people that they couldn't fit in everyone for the interviews today. So his interview is at 8:45 tomorrow morning. He did all his paperwork today and tests too which he feels good with. He just needs a lot of payer tomorrow. He's really nervous.
Ugh, so I'm having some strange and funky cravings. Normally, the only thing weird that goes on is that I like peanut butter when I'm pregnant. Well now I'm craving giant salty pickles with a tall glass of chocolate milk. The idea should make me gag but it only makes me hungry. LoL.
I'm super excited about my appointment and how well it went today. I wanted to do a blog because I know everyone will see it and won't blame me for not writing 200 people about it, LoL. I have time but not THAT much time, haha.
So keep up the prayers everyone, they are working! I have to go update my tickers and everything now and then go watch a movie with Hannah. Then some dinner, yay! Haha.
I hope everyone is doing well and I will update you later! Much later!
