Finally some relief!

I have been having terrible acid reflux every afternoon/evening and I finally called my doctor's office about it. I now have a prescription for zantac and it is working for me! I'm not perfect, but the relief is so wonderful! I do feel guilty about all the meds I have ben taking in this pregnancy. I haven't ever taken any before. I am just having much worse symptoms than ever! Anyway, hooray for finally starting to feel like I can cope again, even if it is just a little bit!

Still obsessed

So, Jake came home with a "family" homework project. We are supposed to help "Morris the turkey" come up with a disguise so that he doesn't get eaten for Thanksgiving. I bet you can all guess what our turkey's disguise is. That's right...Darth Vader. The thing is, this darn turkey is looking to the side, so that makes the helmet part kind of tricky and he is made out of paper, so trying to make it look good totally flat is starting to become a challenge. I have some black vinyl fabric around here somewhere and a silver chain to use. I wish I had some gray felt for the little thing on his chest with all the buttons and such. It is due tomorrow, so I just have to work with what I've got around the house. I will post a picture of him when we finish..hopefully his disguise will work!

What does it mean to you??

NO SOLICITING!!!!!! I have a sign right next to my front door that says this. It certainly doesn't seem to deter anyone. Makes me crazy. Sometimes I wish I could just tell them to read the sign as I slam the door in their face. But, that would be unkind and rude. Still, isn't it rude of them to ignore it? Ugh!!

Sick of being sick

Ok, I know that I have been a big whiner, but seriously...this nausea has got to stop. I am not throwing up a ton like when I was expecting Rachel, but I am so sick all day long. I hate it. I am nervous about keeping up with preschool, the kids' activities and church stuff. Not to mention the disaster that is my house. It is a wreck! I have people coming next weekend for Jake's baptism and the house is gonna be messy. Ugh. The doc had me taking 50mg of Vitamin B6 and half of a unisom tablet every 6 hours, but it didn't help much. It's been a week of trying that, so today, in desperation, I called and got a prescription for Phenergan. I hope it works. Sounds stupid, but I just feel like crying all the time because I feel so rotten. Poor Steve has had to endure me crying to him in the mornings that I just don't want to wake up because I will be sick again. Let's hope this prescription works! Right now I spend most of the day lying in bed or on the couch or rifling through the cupboards trying to find something to eat that will make me feel better. My poor kids are tired of eating cereal and pizza, lol! Not to mention how terrible I look, big dark circles under my eyes are not attractive.

Bad blogger

I know, I have been a bad blogger lately, but there is a good reason! We are expecting a baby!!! Those lines are faint, but they are there for sure! I have been feeling really sick again this time and just sitting at the computer makes me nauseous. I'm hoping it gets better soon!

Couldn't resist!

Saw this on 9th Ward Cartoons, had to share. It's awesome!

First day of school!

Hugging Rachel goodbye. Jake said he was making a sad face because he would never see her again, weird kid.

My baby is a middle schooler!

Big 2nd grader now!

Two cute kiddos!

It's finally here! The first day of school!!! Jake headed off to 2nd grade with a big smile on his face. He got the teacher he had been hoping for, so he is excited! Becka left for the bus only to come running back about 20 minutes later saying that the bus had come early and about 15 kids were left stranded there. I got her and the two neighbor kids to school just as the first bell rang. Poor Becka, I hope that is the only thing that goes wrong today. I don't want her to hate middle school from the start!
