stuff

Wow, I feel like I have so much to write about. Between severe nausea, and being busy, busy last week... I feel like I had no time to blog! So here ya go.

Valentines

Was fun. Surprise, surprise, Nat thinks valentines day is the stupidest day on the face of the earth. Me on the other hand, think its quite a lovely day. One that you can show all your love to the loved ones in your life. So of course, me being me, went all out for my 18 month old and 5 month old who will remember nothing about it. But I'm all about the sweet memories that I will forever cherish in my heart!!

This was her at valentines day last year. When she liked Paytons lady bug more, we had to pull this guy outta stuffed animal hiding and she has slept with it ever since!!

Sleepover

With nana and paw paw. I was desperate for some good solid sleep last week. Both girls had been going to bed late due to getting home late almost every night and they were both waking up between 7 and 8 and I was dying!! Being nauseated, and sleep deprived, and in the first trimester of pregnancy, and taking care of an 18 month old and 5 month old made for a VERY unhappy, unloving mother and wife so I invited them to sleep over with their grandparents. How nice of me huh??

there's a new sheriff in town.

talkin to her daddy on the phone.

sleepin in a big girl bed for the first time at nana and paw paw's. I let her pick out what she wanted to bring to the sleepover to sleep with. She was so excited, she put it all in her special little bag.

sweet sleepin girl.

walkin around outside. One thing that I sooo looked forward to, living out in Mertzon with all the openness, was letting her just run around outside and not worry bout a thing!! She LOVES to be outside.

Rodeo

We went to the rodeo and the fair on Saturday and of course had a blast! Im tellin ya... there just ain't nothin like the rodeo! I love it when it comes around every year. We just took Madelynn this year and she was a little nervous at first. When she gets nervous she puts her bottom teeth forward... like a bull dog, and she holds her hands together and ever so often, she bites her nails. She did this for the first 30 minutes or so. Once she noticed those cotton candy boys walkin back and forth she very kindly asked for some... and there is really no such thing as a rodeo without the cotton candy. That warmed her up quite a bit to the whole thing and she really started to enjoy it... and all the animals. Then she conked out for about half the show.

Oh ya!

and she's out

us. - Payton

The fair was fun. I was kinda sorta hopeful that she would maybe, just maybe be able to ride a few of the little kiddey rides. I was waaaay off on the height thing. So we just walked around and watched the girls ride some rides. She had a blast!!

She was waaay to cool for a stroller! Shoulda known.

Daddy and the princess

and she was not cool enough unless she walked around with the drink.

Pregnancy

I made it to 11 weeks!! ha! and I still have an eternity to go. But thats ok! That will be to my benefit somehow, I just know it. Everything has settled down and its kinda become real to me. I have been soooo nauseated with this one!! It is awful!! Not all the time to the point of vomiting, but crap... if your gonna feel like that, I would rather be puking from it rather than being tortured by it day in and day out! Hopefully that will end as the first trimester ends. Not that thats to terribly close. On Wednesday, I had woke up form a nap and had some pretty bad pains on my right side and it really concerned me. I have a pretty good pain tolerance, so for me to hurt like that and be concerned enough to call the Dr. is a big deal. I gave it some time and it never went away so I called my Dr. and she wanted for me to go ahead and get an ultrasound done just to make sure all is ok. So I went in on Friday and had one done. Baby had a good heartbeat so that was a huge relief! I should hear the results tomorrow, but I am really not concerned about it. As of now, the pain has gone away so I think its all gonna be ok!

and that my friends is all for now. I have more for tomorrow!! So if I find time to get around to it be ready for some more.

Oh wait!! One more thing. Prayer thing at that, for my family. My cousin passed away this morning. It was a pretty sudden and tragic thing. She was young. The closest cousin I ever had. I have lots and lots of good memories with her and my sister (elizabeth) and other cousin (her sister) Rebekah. Laying in bed I was thinkin of lots of sweet memories we had together, the 4 of us. It was always me and Sarah, and Liz and Rebekah. I hadn't seen her since I was probably 14 due to the fact that I live in TX and she lives in FL... so that makes it hard. I never thought the last time I said goodbye to her would really and truly be the last time I would say goodbye to her. But I know that one day I will see her pretty face again! Ahh. Its hard. Hard to accept death. And I've had to go through it twice this month. Something new to me... and I don't like it.
