I got a booboo

SO far this pregnancy I have been symptom free.. Amazingly by 6 weeks with both boys I was getting sick every 5 minutes. This time I don't feel anything. The only out of the ordinary is when I eat I can be starving take two bites and be full. But let me tell you just because I have not been sick doesn't mean I haven't had an eventful week.

As I posted about earlier in the week our car accident, were everyone walked away fine. Well Thursday when I got home from picking up Justin from school I stepped off the garage step wrong and fell, in return breaking my right foot...OUCH! So after I stopped crying and 3 hours of Joe and my parents trying to get me to go to the ER I finally went to see if it was broke. Now the reason I didn't want to go is b/c we have a $100 co-pay for the ER and I KNEW they would not do an x-ray so I hated to wasted the money. But I went and they said yes its broken, but we can't tell by looking at it if its the top or bottom side of your foot. So they sent me home in a walking cast and crutches and I had to get clearance the next day from my OBGYN to have an x-ray. I was so scared to have it done. I know the risk of the radiation and early pregnancy. But the x-ray tech was super nice and we had about 4 lead belts and wraps on my belly and chest. He and my OB assured me baby bean would be fine! So about 4 hours later my OB calls me and says its broke on the right lower side. So I go to the orthopedic doctor this week and see what we do. He told he over the phone Friday if I was a good girl and kept it in line (It hadn't disaligned since the break) that I might get away with just wearing this velcro walking cast and not have to get a plaster one!

So that was my exciting week. I guess its a good thing I have no morning sickness because if I did I wouldn't be able to function. I guess god gives us only as much as we can handle! So here are some pictures of my OWIE!

And here is miss Layla watching me take pictures of myself!

A crazy past few days!

OK so alot has gone on the past few days. Sunday I started spotting again, thank gosh its stopped now (knock on wood). But as you can see I edited the previous post with a few more pictures. Every time I spot I feel the need to pee on a stick.. I guess its good Sunday I used my last test, but for some reason it calms my nerves to see those 2 pink lines, and hey I bought them back amonth ago so I should use them, right, well that's my theory!.

So I laid around all day sunday with Nickster, who by the way has pink eye - thanks pre-school! While we took it easy Justin, daddy and papa went dove hunting. Justin's first time hunting, they said he made an awesome bird dog..lol He had a blast and daddy made sure to take alot of pictures!






Then last night on the way to Justin's baseball game, Joe, the boys, and I got rear ended by a van and truck. The van and I had stopped for a car turing into a parking lot, when some jerk tried to beat another car out of Mc. Donalds and hit the van. Her brakes failed and she hit us. Everyone is ok. Nick had a mark on his side from the seat belt and my neck is killing me from were I hit the head rest. In the other car they had 3 kids. Both the older boys were fine, but the 1 year old little girl had to go to the hospital b/c she bit through her tongue. The guy that hit her was driving (with his fries and burger) a brand new Nissan Titan with a cattle guard. He hit the van so hard it totalled his truck. The van was drivable but banged up. We were driving the gas saver POAS, and all it did was mash then fender wall to the tires and broke the trunk. Nick said "mommy can't go grocery shopping now", meaning I can't open the trunk to put in the groceries..lol

So that was our exciting past 2 days. I hope everyone is doing well!

So Happy :)

We are so happy to announce that we are indeed expecting a new baby. After 3 months of trying and praying we finally got a + home pregnancy test on Wednesday morning. I called my OBGYN on Wednesday and set up to come in and confirm pregnancy on Friday. Thursday morning I started spotting (which has now stopped) and was worried that something might be wrong. We went in on Friday and they assured us everything looked great, that the spotting was normal, and that they would see me again in 6 weeks.. My due date is May 10, 2009 - Mothers Day!

Joe and I are so thrilled. We held off telling the boys till tonight and of course their reaction was amazing. Nick just laughed and yet couldn't grasp what it meant mommy had a baby in her belly.. He actually smiled and said mommy has 100 babies in her belly...oh lordy! Justin just grinned ear to ear and hasn't stopped grinning since. Justin has been asking for another brother or sister for months and when we told him he just smiled and started hugging all of us, including Nick..hehe His words were "I get to teach them both stuff now", referring to Nick and the new baby!

So off on this 9 month journey we go, and already my stomach is full of butterflies.. So far I do not feel pregnant at all, not even any morning sickness feelings, which is awesome and I hope it stays that way and that the hyperemesis does not return this pregnancy.. My next prenatal appointment is October 16th.. I will be 10-11 weeks and we hope to hear the heartbeat! I will keep everyone up to date on every bit of this journey.

And here is the proof we got Wednesday morning (and friday and sunday) :)!

September already!!!!!

Wow has this year flown by... I can't believe its almost Fall, woohoo!!! Alot of things have been going on here the past couple weeks.. The boys and I are taking turns having some kind of funk.. Nick started off last Sun night with the tummy/poopy stuff.. He has been doing better through out the week, had a set back Sat night, but is doing great now.. Poor Justin came down with strep throat, along with half his 1st grade class on Wed.. After a shot in the butt he is back to his old self! I had my turn over the weekend when I came down with a major sinus crud, but Im feeling alot better today... As for Joe, the lucky booty is feeling good and taking awesome care of us!

I hope everyone is doing well and I will keep everyone posted on the boys and if anything changes. Justin has his first fall ball game Friday night at 7, so excited.. He has been playing pitcher and 3rd base and is doing so well!! Well I hope everyone is doing good and we love you all!!!!

Poor Nick

So little man is not feeling to good the past few days.. He woke up Sunday night with horrible tummy pains and throwing up, sorry I know to much information!!! Well after 3 hours at the doctor and 2 x-rays they said his tummy was inflamed and instead of the fluids pushing food and stuff through it was just "stunned" and collecting all the fluids. They also noted his spleen was enlarged.. His pediatrician is thinking its probably viral and just has us watching him.

Today he is feeling pretty good and actually kept some oatmeal down and is drinking awesome.. So everyone keep little man in your thoughts and here are some pictures of the many faces of Nick!!

The Past Couple Weeks

So I thought it was time for an update. The boys are LOVING school.. Nick can't understand why he can't go everyday like Justin.. They both really seem to love their teachers! Justins homework started this week, and I was surprised at the grading difference and homework amount from Kindergarten to 1st grade!

Fall ball practice has started. Joe was asked to be an assistant coach this year, so he is going to get his coaching certification tomorrow night. Also I volunteered to be team mom since we didn't have one, and that's been fun. I have gotten a chance to meet alot of cool people at the meetings. Justin was drafted by his coach from last season and is super excited! His team name is the Bats, yea I know I never heard of them either, but apparently its a minor league team out of Louisville, KY..

Joe and I are doing great, besides working all the time we seemed to have been really busy and on the go the past 2 weeks. I haven't been feeling to hot the past couple day, guess its probably a bug, but you never know ;).....

Well thats about it.. Here are a couple pictures of the boys in the sprinkler, gosh its been HOTT lately!!

Nicks First Day of Pre-School

So today was Nicks first day of Pre-School and he was soooo excited. He was such a big boy with his backpack and lunch box. He got to school and met his teacher Miss Andrea and kissed me goodbye and was like bye mom. I think it was harder for mommy today than it was for Nick. Its hard to believe he is old enough to even go to school. He is such a strong amazing little boy and Joe and I are so proud of him! Here are a couple pictures of his first day. The last one I took as I was leaving, can you tell he was going to miss me????

Walking into school!
