I will post pictures of tonights fun sometime tomorrow when I get a chance. Hope everyone has a great day, and sound evening.

3 Month Visit

Today was my 3 month visit with Dr. Peet. He just moved offices, now he is located in St. Lukes hospital. It was nice and laid back and it seems much more personal since all of his patients are his previous patients from the other office.
The nurse came in the hear the baby's heartbeat with a hand held doppler, but unfortunately she couldn't find the baby's heartbeat. So they had me get an ultrasound. Thankfully the only reason the nurse couldn't pick up the heartbeat was because she was searching too low, the baby was up high. The heartbeat was 189 bpm and I got to see the baby's little belly! :) I couldn't stop smiling when I heard the heartbeat and saw our baby move. It was the best ever!
My next appointment is July 12 but I won't get to find out the gender until the next appointment at the begining of August!!!!
I don't think i'll be able to wait...i'm going to go crazy! :)

Happy Father's Day!

I can't believe I have been blessed with such an amazing man to be the father of my children. He is awesome and always makes Mackenzie laugh. I love hearing them laugh and joke together. And I can not wait for this second baby to get here and see them interact with each other. I am so blessed! Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Y'all deserve it!

So, this coming week is going to go by in a flash, seriously!

Monday is my doctor appointment, Matt took off to go with me. Mackenzie will be visiting with my mom and stepdad while we are at the doctor appointment.

Tuesday is my cousins birthday and she is having a gathering at her place Tuesday night with friends and some family, so Mackenzie will be staying the night with her Mawmaw and Pawpaw that night.

Matt too off Wednesday just incase we are out at my cousin's place super late. I don't know what we will do with the free day, maybe get the house ready for his Stepmom's arrival on Sunday.

Thursday and Friday are laid back with nothing much going on. [as of now]

Saturday I'm not sure that anything is going on, Mackenzie is going to spend some time with her Mawmaw again so I can clean what was messed up between Wednesday and Saturday. :) We are all looking forward to 'Grammi's' arival!

Sunday we will be leaving early to head to the airport to pick up Matt's stepmom. She is staying with us for 3 days. Mackenzie is so excited about this!

Wednesday we will be taking 'Grammi' and Mackenzie to the airport for their flight to Pennsylvania..we are going to miss our baby girl so much!

So, that is what is on our schedule for the next week and a half. We will be super busy, and have fun the whole time!

Hopefully Matt and I will do something fun while Mackenzie is on vacation in Pennsylvania.

If not, thats okay, we can do something here at home. ;)

Have a great Sunday people.

i Hate: [rant]

This is my rant blog. Because I don't care who you are, venting is good for the soul.

When people pretend their lives are wonderful and without flaw. But you know really, that they are miserable little people walking around hating every aspect of their lives.

When you marry someone, yet want nothing to do with their family. Like the going says, "You don't just marry your partner, you marry his family." Some people just don't like to abide by that. Shame shame.

When you tell a close friend a secret, something you want no one else to know, and then you look up and everyone you know, now knows your secret. So you have to learn your lesson the hard way, you can trust no one!

When you really need to talk to someone about something, and theres no one around that will understand.

When you try to tell someone something, but they just won't listen. So you learn to just keep your mouth shut. Then something happens and they scream "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" Are you freaking kidding me?!

When you finally accept yourself for who you are, and they way you look. But no one else does.

When someone asks how everyone is doing, by name, but doesn't mention your name. WTF.

When you have a dream about someone you haven't seen in years, and then you realize you once had feelings for said person.

When you go to the grocery store and the lines are a mile long, so you go to the shortest one possible, and there stands a single person, "saving" a spot in line for someone else. No, that is not how this works!

When someone claims you are their very best friend, and then betrays you in the worst possible way ever. And then apologizes for their mistake, says it will never happen again, and then does it AGAIN! Seriously, do you have a death wish?

When you try to forget, but everytime you see their face, the pain of what they did comes rushing back. And you have to step away from all sharp objects immediately!

When you pray pray pray for help to forgive, but nothing happens automatically. And thats really what you need.

When you were in high school and you had countless friends, then you look up 5 years later, and you have just a handful of friends.

When your birthday comes around, and you get no gifts. Or cards. Just because i'm older, doesn't mean I don't want a good birthday party with lots of balloons, confetti and possibly even a pinata! Geez.

When you are really really really craving a good steak, medium-well, with mashes potatoes covered in gravy with a good side salad, then you wake up and remember that the last of the money went to bills. And all of a sudden you hate being an adult!

When you remember you have ice cream in the freezer, get all excited about it, open the container, and see nothing but freezer burn. YUCK!

When the people who don't deserve good to happen to them, get the best of the best, the biggest best vacations, the best vehicles, the unexpected bonus from work, all the breaks in the world. But you realize theres nothing you can do about it, so you just stop worrying about it.

I'm pretty sure I could go on for at least a week. But I'm done here...for now!

Hope you enjoyed my rant blog. It sure did make me feel better.

3 Months =]

Today I am 12 weeks pregnant. In my last pregnancy today was the day I went to the weekend clinic with spotting and clotting. Two days later, I lost my baby. I have NO fear of this happening again! I feel great! I have felt my baby move [feels like popcorn popping] and I know with all my heart, by baby and me, will make it! I'm so blessed to be here. And I'm so looking forward to the next 6 months!

Peachy Keen;;

I have been feeling great these past few days! I haven't been getting a sick feeling every time I see/smell food..which is a wonderful thing! Two days ago I decided to get after the mound of laundry that had been waiting for me in my room for the past two months, and I completed what I set out to complete! The bedroom is FINALLY all spic and span. Then, I worked on the dishes, && O.M.G. was that a task. The thought of cleaning dishes made me want to throw up in my mouth, but, because I have been feeling better lately, I totally did ALL the dishes, all at once, and didn't gag not once! I was so excited! Yesterday Mackenzie & I tackled her bedroom and went through all of her clothes to sort through the ones that were too little for her. [There was alot!] I had her clean her bathroom, which was done in a jiffy seeing as she doesn't ever use her bathroom, not even to take baths anymore, she'd rather take a shower in Mommy & Daddy's shower. *Such a big girl* So, for the past two days, Mackenzie and I clean everyday to ensure that Mommy will not have spend hours upon hours cleaning the whole house. Its working quite well so far. Wish me luck!


Today, I woke up at 6:40am, right after Matt left, and started my day. I got a shower and put some clothes on to wash. Then I got my breakfast ready, sat down on the couch and got some news in. All the while Mackenzie was still sleeping. [YAY] She never sleeps past 7. Unless I get up before her that is! Yesterday, I also got up before Mackenzie. (see, this keeping your house clean thing, does crazy things to you!) She woke up right before 8:00am and she was being so cute! She woke up in a good mood, ready to go grocery shopping. I had to laugh at this, because we don't go grocery shopping until Daddy gets home from work, but dang it, she was in such a good mood, she was willing to walk to the grocery store! She is also very excited about dinner tonite. We are going to a Chinese buffet tonite, and they have a huge pond with lots of fish in it, in the middle of the restaurant at the entrance. She LOVES to play with those fish!

Next week we will be going to the Zoo with my mom and niece, Sidni. Mackenzie went once about 2 1/2 years ago, and hasn't stopped talking about it since. So, you can imagine how excited she is about going next week! And honestly, I'm a little excited too! I just wish the high for that day was about 75! Instead, it will be in the 90's! YUCK! [I will be sure to post LOTS of pics from the Zoo trip!]

In 19 days my baby girl will be leaving Matt and I to go to Pennsylvania with her Grammi to visit Matt's side of the family there. I am so sad. She is excited about going on an airplane and visiting someone else, but I'm not sure how she will do being gone for mulitple days, and at bedtime, I know she will not do good. It makes me so sad that I won't be there to comfort her. My biggest fear is that she is going to think we gave her away! :( That may sound stupid, but its a true fear..and its eating me alive! SO.....to preoccupy my mind [somewhat] while she's gone, my cousin, mom and myself will be painting the baby room! YAY for paint! I won't know the sex of the baby at the time of said painting, but the colors will still be the same, the only difference if its a girl, is we will be adding giant PiNK bubbles on the light green walls. I'm super excited! Although I will be trying to convince my doctor to give me a gender ultrasound sooner than scheduled. ;) But if he doesn't go for it, thats completely fine, because I will still be finding out in July..around the 17th. And for Matt's sake, I hope its a boy....although I secretly would squeal with excitement if we had another girl! But lets keep that quiet, if Matt caught wind of that, we'd all be in trouble.

Pics From Mackenzie's 1st Beach Visit

My cousin and I took our girls to the beach on Saturday.

The initial visit to the beach was good. However, the ride there

and back, were miserable, to say the least. Never again!

My Prayer.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."

Proverbs 3, 5-6

This is a scripture I found today, that is going to become a part of my daily life. I am going to try to start following it. I think this will help me. Alot.

[THIS WAS PART OF MY LAST BLOG ENTRY ON MY OTHER BLOGSPOT, BUT IT WOULDN'T LET ME COPY AND PASTE THE WHOLE THING. BUMMER.]

Okay.

So this is officially my new blogspot. I really liked my last one, but it wouldn't let anyone post comments on it, and that was getting a bit annoying. So I have been tweeking this one, and I think i'm content with it for now. I will post something worth reading later. I will actually probably just copy and paste what I wrote earlier, as my first official entry. Enjoy.
