19 Weeks Pregnant! Happy Thanksgiving

Today I'm 19 weeks pregnant. It's now Thanksgiving :0)

We had such a fun time hanging out with Family today.

I just feel bad that we were running late.

Dinner was supposed to be at 3:30PM we technically

didn't get on the road until then. I was super stressed.

#1 we had to make a gluten free dinner that morning,

then pack it. (not knowing the family was trying to prepare

something on the side for us).

#2 I was trying to get ready and still feeling sick and

was trying to get ready. Ugh! I felt like I had lead in my arms.

#3 We were out of gas and no gas stations were open.

So we used my card. Ugh! I don't like to talk about

financial hardships, but I can say we are totally flat broke until

Kenton gets paid on the 1st. Then it will all go to the house

and again we will have just enough for food and gas. lol!

guess we live just like everyone else. Fun! Fun! Fun!

We ended up making it to Dad's and everyone was quiet in the

room. We all got some food in our belly's and the

conversation picked up. It was good to see.

We had dad open his present from us

for his birthday and it announced

the babies sex. His face lightened up with so much

joy. It was so much fun to see the joy in his face.

He's always wanted his own boy. This was just

nice for him to know we were having a boy.

It was super cute. I was sitting with my niece

Kylie and I decided to show her a video of my baby.

I had my dad come over too to watch the video.

I was explaining what was going on in the video

while it was playing. Once it was over Kylie

turns to me and feels my belly and says "I can't

feel the baby kick". I told her I only feel it right

before I go to bed and she asks "Why?" I really

didn't have an answer for her beside. "The baby

likes to be awake at night and likes to sleep during

the day.". Later she kept coming up and feeling

my belling while she would say "I felt your baby,

I felt it kick". then she would tell me where the head

was and that she could feel it's baby. It was super cute.

I was so happy after we went to the movie "Tangled".

It's a cartoon based on Rapunzel cartoon. It was

super cute. :0) It was such a funny show I wouldn't

mind buying it. I really enjoy those cartoons that are

fun for the kids and the parents. It was so fun to

see my other little nice do a dance right after.

Hearing my families laughter during that show

was priceless... Thanks Aubrey for the great idea.

I know it was your daughter 2nd Birthday,

but you sure made it fun for the whole family.

Thank You again!

I'm so happy to be home and in my bed.

Hopefully I wont be sick again tonight. Crossing

our fingers.

Sick! Sick! Sick! AGAIN????

Oy! On the 18th of November I was so super sick that

We had to go to the ER. I had Lower Abdominal pain.

It wasn't getting better it was getting worse.

I was burning up and had a fever (at least I felt like it).

My migraines were also getting worse. I had a hurt ear

with the migraine two days before we left Mexico. I assumed it

was just another ear infection, but wanted to weigh it out.

Well... I waited till I was too sick to cope with it any longer.

We didn't go to the hospital near us. I have had nothing but

back luck with it. So we drove to Mckay dee hospital.

It was 100% better. (Besides my nurse that didn't know how to

take my blood. First she had the band on WAY too tight.

Then she was taking blue blood and not red. Then on top

of it she burst my artery in my right arm. It HURT! Then

she goes to my left arm and tries to stick the IV in and misses

then she moves the needle around and can't get it in right

(AGAIN). Then she gets it. Starts the IV and dopes me

up with benadryl and I can't remember the other pain

medication she gave me. All I know is it left a funny taste in

my mouth and reminded me of finger nail polish remover.

I was so dizzy and felt so sick after. It wasn't a pleasant feeling

at all. I wanted nothing but to fall asleep and get this out

of my system. My husband was up with me... It was one AM

by this time.

The doctor was concerned I might have a UTI. All due to

the fever and cold chills with hot flashes.

I did a urine test. Then they took me to check on the

baby. Also to see if I had anything that burst to

create such a terrible pain. The baby was fine and had

a great heart beat. When 430AM rolled around the

doctor came in and told us the test looked fine, the baby

was fine, nothing looked not normal. He mentioned that

I probably pulled a muscle. Also pregnancy growing pains

aren't fun to go a long with it. He sent us home. While I felt

sicker then from when we came. Oy! Not a fun night.

As I laid in bed. I only created fear. Fear of going into

labor in the future, knowing this pain

was going to be 20 times worse.

I do not look forward to giving birth being in so much pain.

I couldn't even handle this medication very well. I know

I didn't even like being in any kind of hospital.

If I had one wish it would be to have the baby

magically apear in my arms. I think they could put me

out for that, then wake me up when it's all over. lol!

One thing I know about myself is. I do NOT do well

with any kind of physical pain. I could when I was

younger, but the older I get the weaker I get. OY!

I was sad to see we didn't get home till 5 AM Knowing

Kenton had work in the morning. I was just happy

I wasn't in pain anymore.

On the 19th I was so high on the medications I agreed to

watching my nieces. So that my sister Aubrey and Adam

could go out for a date night. I didn't start feeling sick sick

again till the next day on the 20th. During the time we were practicing

singing for our 10 virgin play. I left and told Kenton

I really needed a doctor. I called Urgent care and they

got us in right away (at noon). He checked everything...

When I told him my symptoms. He said "Yep looks like

a bad ear infection and a bad throat infection". Gave me

antibiotics and went home. What a glorious way

to live! I remember him weighing me. I've

lost .6 pounds since I saw our OB. WHAT! I can't

keep losing weight. I'm going to be a nothing soon enough.

By this time it was the 20th. My dad has been having

a memory loss. Which is fine, I love him anyways.

We've talked 3 times about how I wasn't going to

make it due to financial issues. He said "that's ok

I would love it if you would come to Thanksgiving".

We were planning on just coming to Thanksgiving.

(Not like I could have made it if we had the money

seeing how sick I was). Well it caused a huge family

dispute and for some reason I was the victim. Not feeling

well... I didn't handle the situation very well. That night

I went to take a bath, got out, Threw up and then passed out.

Bad night!

After a day I was so sick I called my mom at 6 am in the morning

and she said "sounds like you have the flu on top of what

you already have." Not

the exact words I wanted to hear. She calmed

me down and mentioned the foods I should take.

Her orders was to get plenty of rest with lots of liquids.

Just to break it down. I finally feel back to sleep at 8AM

Woke up at 1PM and couldn't get out of bed.

Text my sister then text my mom. Mom mentioned

she would run to get me a Jamba, but had to be

back soon. I was so happy my mom rescued me.

I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed for the life of me.

After I had a Jamba I was feeling like my baby wasn't mad

at me anymore. I was on the couch watching

"Desperate house wives". I do not feel guilty

for catching up on a good show. I think I finished season 6 in

two days lol! I love Hulu!

On the 24th I thought I was doing better. We

did errands for Thanksgiving and then I was

finally done and wanted to just go home and do

nothing but rest. I believe this is called "Over doing it".

I made a pie then turned Desperate house wives.

Knowing I was going to be in bed for quite awhile.

Started to feel super sick again and threw up.

I was so happy my husband was home.

I just hope that tomorrow for Thanksgiving will

be a much better day.

I need to specially thank My doctors, antibiotics,

my wonderful supportive husband, who has done more

then love me, he is a care giver too. Who stayed up with

me for long hours at the hospital and the doctors. He does more

then just take care of me. (He also does laundry and

dishes). I love you honey!

I wanted to thank my mom for being here for me.

I know I have a hard time using the word "Can you

Please help me." I don't know why it is so hard to

say. I'm just happy she has been just a phone call away.

I love you mommy!

Reilly's first trip to the groomer

This was our puppy before he got his Hair cut.

He was one shaggy/Matted dog.

He really needed a hair cut. I told Kenton if

he paid for the shots for the dog. Then I would

pay for the dog to get groomed. Such a smelly little doggy.

When we went in I warned the lady that Reilly

did NOT like brushes and he REALLY didn't like

the razor/ hair clippers. He will freak out to the max.

She said "Don't worry, he's still a puppy. These things just

get getting used too." I told her again. "You really don't

know my dog. He does NOT like them.

Well come to find out when we walked in. She was

struggling with our little pup like no other. It had been

three hours and she was struggling big time with him.

I assume he was trying to bite her, because we found

him like this with a muzzle on his mouth. I just

laughed and was thinking... "that poor girl". lol!

Yet she did say "he's just a pup and he needs to

take time and get used to it". She looked like she wanted to

hand me the dog and say "You have a menace for a dog.

Please take him". lol!

I asked her how he did in the tub. She told me that

he was freaking out. I assumed he would be just

fine in the tub. He always let us bathe him

just fine. I don't think I've ever had a problem

bathing my dog. I wonder if she was using really

cold water. I'm sure any dog would hate cold water.

Poor puppy!

When we left to go walk around the store.

We found that the girl asked for assistance.

I did tell her he REALLY hates to be touched

on his face. He hates it to the extreme. I'm

Thinking she now knows what I was talking

about. The assistant was holding Reilly

While the other girl was cutting. Something

that would have been a five minute job, became

a 30 min. job. Poor girls!

When Reilly was all done. I got him a sweater

and he smelled just like sugar cookies. His

Breath smelled so much better after they brushed

his teeth. I think they should brush his teeth all

the time. That is wonderful! YAY!!! No

doggie breath. :0) Kenton Loves his new doggie

hair cut and also the fact that he wasn't matted anymore.

Plus he smelled so good.

I miss the brown and black on his fur. This is

going to take some getting used to.

He doesn't look like our dog. But he sure

acts like it.

Mexico Trip!

We enjoyed our Mexico trip with Kenton's parents.

I will always remember our trip to beautiful Mexico.

Kenton and his Dad chilling out on the deck. They loved site

seeing while we were in Mexico. :0)

On Halloween they decorated out by the restaurant to look a little

festive. I never thought I would see ghost hanging from palm trees.

My favorite drink to have in Mexico was my Coca cola light.

You will never know how much that filled me with joy.

During my days there. We went and walked around this

city. It was fun to see the wonderful town. The people

live so differently from America. They actually spend their

days outdoors, greeting with their neighbors. So peaceful!

I loved these fish taco's we had at this place. I LOVE a little

spice with some fish during my days there.

16 weeks pregnant.

Enjoying the beach. It's kind of hard walking

all over these rocks being pregnant and my shoes were

not helping much.

This was my favorite city. If you look behind us you can

see the very pretty palm trees with the clearer ocean.

This guy did some amazing things with this fire and glass.

He made this glass sculpture that you see below

Kenton bought this lizard glass sculpture.

It is so cute! Kenton's going to be putting

it on his desk at work. :0)

Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). November 2nd.

I never knew they celebrated dead people.

This was a pretty neat sand sculpture. :0)

One of the many Sunsets we got to see in Mexico.

Sigh! I just LOVE it!

Mexico Part 2

I don't know why I strain my neck like this... lol!

Oh well... I do have to say I was totally addicted to

these popsicles in Mexico. I Had to have one everyday.

This one is a coco/agua popsicle.

They even add real coconut to it. Kenton liked any of the fruit ones.

Like strawberry, banana, and kiwi was his favorite. I so want to

learn how to make these. Yummy!!!

Funny story about this day. We were out getting

some candy and these three preppy guys in a fancy car

were making cat calls to me in spanish. I have no idea what

they were saying, but I was so stopping traffic. I started

laughing like crazy. I think it gave Kenton a boost of

"Yeah I know my girl is hot". lol!

Weird statues by the ocean. We just had to get a comedy

picture. lol!

I'm looking a little prego in this picture.

16 weeks pregnant to be exact. :0)

At our hotel there were these cute turtles and pretty fish.

We would come down and feed them. They were

so friendly. This hotel was absolutely stunning.

I tried to lighten this picture some. This was the beach just outside

of our hotel. This was the last sunset before we left back home.

What a great way to remember Mexico by.

I wouldn't mind doing another Mexico trip in the near future. :0)

Alysa's Baby

Congratulations to

Alysa and DJ on their new little bundle of joy!

I must give Credit to Jessica on taking some beautiful

pictures of my new little niece. We were in Mexico

and couldn't be their to see her in the hospital.

My dad had Jess email him the pictures of this

cute baby and he forward them to me. I'm so happy

that we were able to see this little Angel. I just couldn't

wait any longer.

She was 7 pounds 8 oz 20 inches long

born at 7:40AM

She is definitely a little doll!

I have seen her twice now. But I keep forgetting

to take pictures. Talk about my pregnancy brain

lately. lol!
