You were good 2010

The older I get, the faster a year goes by. I am astonished as I look back how quickly this year came and went. I think back on it and words cannot express how blessed we were this year. 

Family: Obviously the biggest blessing and most exciting part of our year was Jaxson. I cannot believe he is already here and sadly, almost a month old. It seems like yesterday when Jana and I were heading out for a day of shopping and I peed on that little stick and it had a giant + on it. We are so thankful for a healthy baby boy that is growing like a weed and starting to let his personality out. I am so grateful for an easy delivery this time and for the opportunity for Michael to be off work for the first three weeks. I will never, ever forget those 3 weeks and the time we got to bond as a family. Jax is a great addition to our family and we love him more and more everyday. Jake also turned 3 this year! It's been a blast to think about everything he has learned and how much he has come into his own over the year. He is a fantastic big brother and I love watching the two of them together. The transition was smooth and Jake has really stepped up to the plate as a big brother. I have loved our coloring times, watching him as he paints and draws, playing board games (so glad to play Candyland and Chutes and Ladders again!), watching him and Michael have their dance sessions before bed, never knowing what one liner will come out of his mouth next, the list can go on and on. Jake amazes me everyday. Yes, he has his moments like all 3 year old children do, but one smile from him, and it wipes those little moments away.

Friends: I do not even know where to begin in this category. I look around and see the people I have in my life and words fail. The family and friends that God has given me, they are just amazing. I have so many wonderful memories from this past year and a whole lot of laughs that have extended my life by centuries. Even with one of my besties moving to another state, it's amazing what you can still do being about 12 hours apart! Especially when you have 3 cd's of songs about our relationship to listen to! Every single one of our friends have been there for us this year multiple times. The good, the bad, and the unexpected. The support and love that they have shown us, brings tears to my eyes. I want nothing more for them all to know how much we love them and support them in return. I am so pumped for all the babies that are making their debuts this year! I love the fact that we do have quite a few friends with children all the same age. It makes it a complete blast to be together! We are so lucky to have friends that get us. Love us for who were are and accept us for who we are. Our Tuesday night bible study group has been a rock for us and have taught us so much this past year. I cannot wait to see what 2011 has in store for all of us! I know we will all be there for one another.

Mi Familia aka my parents and sisters family: We have had a very interesting year this year. Two new boys to add to the crew. We all went through a rough time in May but have come out stronger and closer. Being adopted, I am astonished about how lucky I am to have been blessed with my family. I know things could have been different. God has a plan for everything and we are so lucky to have one another. I am so fortunate to have parents that are not only parents, but amazing friends. I have no problem saying "I love hanging out with my parents!" It is so funny when you realize you want to be around your parents all the time, more then ever before. We are blessed to have both sets of parents here and for our kids to be around them whenever they want. We are so thankful to them for everything they have taught us and done for us throughout the years.

Jobs: I may dislike my job some days but I am grateful to have a job. I know there are many people out there that don't. Some days are not as good as others but the people I work with, wow, that makes all the difference. I am fortunate to have a boss that treats us like adults, most of the time. In house, the people I see everyday make each day a new adventure. We have shared many laughs, tears, experiences, changes, challenges, and more laughs with each other. It does end up being a second family. When one is gone, the whole dynamic is different and off. I have been off work for about 6 weeks currently, and I do miss them. Even though I wish my leave didn't have to end, I am looking forward to seeing their faces again! Michael also has been blessed with his job this past year. He is still one of their leading men and has a fantastic relationship with his bosses. He was spoiled the 2nd half of the year working on a giant house for an amazing couple that treated him like royalty. He was also lucky to have received many side jobs over the year. Even though we are both contemplating career changes in the next few years, we are thankful for what we have.

Extras: We spent a giant portion of the beginning of 2010 getting our house ready for 2011. We have 8/9 projects completed and are starting to box up a lot of our "extra" things. We hope 2011 will be the year we can sell this place. It's been good to us but we really need more space for this over-sized family of 7 (including the animals.)  This house has been our home for almost 5 years and it was our first place together. Although I will be sad to see it go, I hope 2011 will bring us a new adventure in housing! The new SUV. Ruby was good to us until July of 2010. Sadly, we had to put her down and move on. We are so thankful the accident wasn't as bad as it could have been. We were so lucky that Jax was okay, only being 18 weeks along was pretty scary having been in a roll over accident. We found our new SUV in a matter of a week and it has been good to us so far. I know Jake enjoys it! We also enjoyed many concerts, date nights, mini vacations away, a ton of wonderful family nights, and so many memories.

Michael: He gets his own. Michael has made me fall in love with him even more then I ever thought. Watching him with the boys alone, just amazes me everyday. I am so lucky to have a fantastic role model and father for my children. I hope one day they see how lucky they are. I know how lucky I am to have him in my life. He still gives me butterflies and there are many, many times that I feel like we are still dating and everything is new. I love the fact that we can still cuddle up on the couch and watch movies. I enjoy the fact he always grabs my hand while walking anywhere. TMI for some, but I love the fact that he still loves to make out like we were in high school. I think it's sweet that when in public he usually his holding my hand, has his arms around me, or is always making "his eyes" at me. I love they way he loves him and the way he takes care of our family. I may not show it sometimes, but the fact that he loves to get on the floor not just with our kids, but friends kids and act like a total goof melts my heart. I love that he loves to dance and isn't afraid to break down at home or in public! I am sure I don't give him enough credit and I try extremely hard to let him know how amazing he is. I can't thank him enough for everything he does. I also can't thank God enough for him. I still sit back and think that I never expected to marry someone I grew up with. God has reasons for everything. I am glad Michael was my "reason" and part of my "plan".

I am sad to see 2010 go because we had so many amazing experiences and blessings this year. I am though, extremely excited to see what lies ahead in 2011. I know there will be good and bad, but I am sure God has many things in store for us. We have a few changes coming up. Changes that have to be made and we will be better for it! So bring it on 2011!

Christmas 2010

Christmas has come and gone. I am sad but at the same time, I was ready this year. I think it's because I really wanted my house back in order. Even though I am no longer pregnant, I still am nesting. I get OCD if things are messy or out of place. In some ways, I hope it passes but I also don't want it to. We will have to play it out and see what happens.

Let see, we spent Christmas Eve with the Janzen clan. We went to church and then headed over for dinner. It was our typical Christmas Eve dinner of ham, potatoes, veggies, oyster soup, rolls and raspberry jello for dessert. It's nothing too exciting but it's the normal and rounds out the the whole Christmas Eve vibe. It was a good evening with family.

Christmas Day was insane. We woke up and ate breakfast as a family. We read the Christmas story and then Jake opened all his gifts! We just let him have at it. 3 year olds aren't the most patient so we thought we would let him open everything first. He was super excited for everything! His big gift from us was a major hit! We bought him the Fisher Price iXL and he loves it. He will sit there for hours writing, coloring, reading, and playing games. It is amazing. I am just so thankful he likes it. He is more of manual toy child. He has all the Thomas the Train engines and a ton of cars and trucks, so this whole new electronic era is completely new. I am excited he is interested though! Michael and I put our gifts in our stockings! I was super excited that one of my gifts was a new iPod Nano. Ok, yes I have a barely year old iPod that has about 9000 songs on it and quite a few movies but it's huge. Not huge, but I wanted a small one that I could take on walks and all that. The new Nano's are so small. I need to get a wrist/arm band for it for sure. I think I have had almost every generation of the Nano and this one is the smallest. I was super excited though! Come one January 6th!

After cleaning the the disaster that was our living room after Christmas morning, I started to get everything ready for my sista,s house! Somehow, we made it on time. I really don't know how but we did. Since it wasn't quite dinner time we let the boys rip open their gifts. Can we say Grandparents spoil them? Man, seriously. We honestly were shocked we could fit everything in our SUV. It was packed full. We had bags stuffed on the floor and I had a few things on my lap coming home. It was just madness. We had an amazing dinner and the boys went sledding in the backyard. It was a great day filled with family and love. It was perfect. I will say, I was beyond exhausted when we got home though. Jake of course wanted to play with everything but it was way past his bed time also. Michael and I spent the rest of the night curled up in bed, watching a movie. It was perfection. Jax basically slept through the whole day. I didn't expect anything other then that from him. He did get an awesome floor play yard that he loves to already play with it. He reaches for the toys and loves his tummy time on it. He honestly thinks he is 3 months old instead of 3 weeks. It's crazy. I am sad because since he is the last Janzen we are producing, I want him to stay small longer. Although, Jake was the same way so I had little chance of that happening. He has rolled over twice now. He also holds his head up like a champ. He's such an amazing little man and we love him more and more!

The 26th, well, it all came down. I woke up and my OCD kicked in. I needed my house back in order. We packed up the tree, took down all the decor, put all the wrapping paper and trimmings away, deep cleaned and now my downstairs living area is clean and back to normal. We really needed the space. We honestly did. I forgot how much stuff you have with a baby. It's beyond ridiculous. I also want to get things kicked off to start packing up things we do not use or no longer need. March is going to be here before we know it and I have a few things to get done before we can put the house on the market. I do need to purchase some more packing boxes. That should be my #1 priority. The worst thing I need to do is pack up my china. I don't even know where to begin with that. I will tackle it soon enough!

The Christmas season has come and gone. It was a great time with family and friends and we loved every minute of it. From the parties, to the baking day with my favorites with the exchanging gifts which was amazingly hilarious, to all the family and friend time we were blessed with, the reason for the season, and the time I got to just spend with my three boys. I am so thankful for this time we had together as a family. I am so blessed for my boys and I love them all very much.

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Christmas is 2 days away! This has been the most relaxing holiday season of my life. I know that probably sounds insane due to we just had a baby 2 weeks ago, but we had all our holiday shopping done in November. Most of the gifts have been wrapped also for quite some time. We had a few last minute items but this whole season has been the most enjoyable one I have ever experienced! It's also been a major blessing to have Michael home for 3 weeks. I know both boys have loved having him here. I find it funny that even though he has been off work, we have been extremely busy. Between Christmas parties, birthdays, friends being in town, and just running errands, we haven't been home much. I don't mind it one bit. It's been just a blast being able to spend days with friends and family. I have loved every moment of it.

Jax is doing awesome. Growing like a weed and eating us out of the house. The child can put his milk away like a champ. He is starting to stay awake for about an hour to an hour and a half at a time during the day. We love it of course. We try to play with him but he doesn't find anything too interesting at this moment. He does love his brother and Jake loves him. Jax will just stare at Jake if he is talking or playing. It's so sweet. Jake is very protective of Jax. He is always making sure he is warm enough. If he is crying he has to report why and what we can do to help him. It's so funny and very sweet. He loves helping at bath time, feeding time, diaper time, and just any time he thinks Jax needs him. I love it and am so thankful Jake has really been a fantastic big brother!

It's suppose to snow starting tonight. I am a little excited to have a white Christmas. It makes it really feel like Christmas! It's the icing on the cake! I just hope it doesn't cause chaos like last year. Church was even canceled and that made me sad. I hope that it isn't as bad as last year! I just love Christmas and the whole meaning behind it. Jesus is the reason for the season and I love focusing on that. God gave us one amazing gift, His Son, and because of Him, we are free today. I am so thankful for everything He has has blessed us with and even the hard times that He has challenged us with. We are stronger for it and I am thankful for that! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

2 week check up!

Jax had his 2 week check up today! 

Here were his birth stats:
Weight: 7lbs 9oz

Length: 20 inches

Here are his 2 week stats:

Weight: 8 lbs 14oz

Length: 20 3/4 inches

He is in the 90% for both! We know he is growing! He is perfectly healthy and is doing great! Always a good thing to hear!

SLEEP!!!

I have been getting sleep! This is fantastic! Little Jax has been sleeping about three and a half to four hours at night! This is fantastic. I know that I now have probably jinxed myself but the past three nights have been amazing! Only having to get up about once a night makes a huge difference in everything! Jake has gotten over a fear as well, which I won't mention, and this is day 2 and he has kept it going! I am stoked! I do not want that to jinx at all!

I have been in such a mommy fog that I didn't realize Christmas is next weekend. Yikes. I still have a few last minute things to get but all of our big things are done. We have about 5-6 things coming in the mail between tomorrow and Tuesday that will have to be wrapped up but we are good to go! We have 3 people that we still have to buy for. One is a gift card and the other two, well, we are hounding them tonight when they come over for dinner. I need to know these things! Seriously people!

Christmas cards are done and done! I left the stamps in the car so I have to wait till Michael gets home to finally finish them but they are stuffed, addressed, and ready to go. I am so thankful my parents were able to come over on Monday and take some quick photos for us. We needed to get an updated family photo obviously since it has changed in a week. I am so grateful they were able to do that! I don't look the greatest but hey, Jake and Jax are the ones that matter! It's extremely hard to get a photo of Jake too. Trying to contain a 3 year old for a photo is ridiculous. We got a few though! 

I have a scarf to knit but honestly, I think that will take only about 4 hours to do. It's only two colors and we have some down time this weekend so I will be getting my knit on! Which reminds me that I need to find the other spool of yarn that I need. Crap. I need to go digging for that. I had it two weeks ago, but that was before chaos exploded at our house. I am hoping that I can get a few things cleaned up too. I feel like I haven't been able to clean at all lately. It is really irritating! I enjoy and take pride in a clean house. I hate having things out of place. Once Christmas is over that will help in many ways. The piles of gifts and being able to take the tree down will help like crazy. I have a feeling I am taking it down a lot sooner then I have ever before. I am talking the day after Christmas. All this baby stuff is eating up our house!

First Christmas celebration kicks off this weekend! I am so excited! I need to get back in the mood. I have been so excited for it and since I have been off work, well, my Christmas spirit has gone down. Mainly because I am not out and about doing normal things I would have been. I need to blast the music and start baking! I think Jana, Becky, and I need to have a bake day while she is here! HA! 1 day!!! Ok that is my excitement coming out! Jana gets here in 1 day and I'm a little excited!

Since Jax is asleep, I better get my wrapping done!

Adjusting

(If this means anything, I wrote this entire blog and then it magically deleted itself. Then of course it saved it as a blank document. Boo!!)

Jax is a week old. A week and 1 day to be exact. I completely forgot what it was like to have a newborn around. Talk about a wake up call. I am thankful that we are still pretty young and can live with little sleep. Jax is eating like a champ. He takes in about 3 ounces every feeding. Unfortunately those feedings come every 2 hours. Seriously?! Ugh. We were so spoiled with Jake so I didn't expect anything less then a child this time around that didn't sleep in 4 hour increments right off the bat. He has a very mellow temperament though. The only time he cries is when he has to have his diaper change. Sometimes when he thinks he is going to starve to death he wails also. He is a fantastic little guy though and we love him so much already. Nights have been rough. I take the night shift so that Michael can sleep from 10-7 solid and take over in the morning. I get 3-4 naps twice a day so that helps a lot. I hope and pray he starts to stretch out his feedings. I can dream of day he goes for 4 hours and stays there. Just to have to only have to get up once a night would be amazing. Yet, him and I have a lot of fun during the wee morning hours. TV absolutely stinks but you can always count on the Hallmark Channel to have some Christmas movie going!

Unfortunately, I have been sick. For every good day I have, a bad one follows. I honestly think it was the flu shot I got before I left the hospital. It's just taking it's time to get out of me. I have no idea what I would do without Michael. He has been absolutely amazing. Over this past week we have grown even more closer and stronger as a unit. I never think I can love the man more, but then I do. My heart is overflowing with the love I have for him. It's beyond ridiculous. Last night and today I have been fighting this horrible stomach ache. It comes and goes in shifts and has caused vomiting and other unpleasant things. Michael has been fantastic with taking care of Jax and myself. He even went out and got me chicken noodle soup and saltines without even asking. It's been just a blessing to have him home during this time. He is even thinking about taking next week off work. I am so blessed!

Jake is in love with his brother. He refers to him as "My baby" and is always wanting to help. Not in annoying way at all. He helps with feedings, diaper changes, cleaning up, he shushes people if he thinks they are being too loud, he checks on Jax if he even makes a peep, and he very carefully rubs his head when he is sleeping or being fussy. It's so sweet. I was afraid he might rebel and go the other way but he has been amazing. he tries to play with him. He brings him his toys and reads to him. It's so sweet. He teaches him how to count to 65 (that is as high as he knows currently), count to 20 in Spanish, and the ABC's. It just so fun to watch them interact. Jax really focuses on Jake when he is around and cracks a smile in his sleep when Jake talks. It so sweet.

The whole experience was pretty good. I stressed for nothing of course. Everything went as plan. It was a completely different experience this time. No scary moments, no fear, hardly any pain, and a healthy baby to boot. We got to the hospital at 6am and no one else was there. We were taken care of by a fantastic nurse that had the same humor as us so we just had a blast with her till 8 rolled around. My least favorite part would have to be the spinal. I knew I would get sick and I did. I didn't throw up but I did have a few gag moments. Try gagging when you can feel anything below your chest. It's a weird experience. My anesthesiologist was hilarious and he took awesome care of me. The surgery went well and quick. When they said he weighed 7lbs 9oz, I think I about died of shock. Jake was only 6lbs 4 oz and I wasn't expecting a child that weighed more then that. Plus he had a ton of dark hair. Jake was practically bald till he was 2. I believe I asked Michael if he was sure that was the child that came out of me. Other then the food at that place, we had a great experience. We had a lot of family and friends that came and we are so thankful for their visits. Other then having this amazing little boy and seeing Jake with him for the first time, the next highlight was my shower. Your first shower after you have a baby, it's an amazing feeling. You just feel completely renewed and refreshed. It's just an amazing shower experience! =) The 4 days at Mercy flew by and we were so grateful for an amazing staff and great experience!

Christmas is fast approaching. We have 11 days. SCARY!! I hope I am feeling better tomorrow because we need to go out and get some last minute gifts. Jake is at my mom's tomorrow so I would love to get his stalking stuffers and all that jazz. Maybe even pick up a few last minute gifts for him.

Jana gets here on Friday and I am way beyond excited! I cannot wait for her to meet Jax! I also can't wait just to spend time with her and everyone. She is the piece that has been missing during this past week or so. It sucks but we make it through!

Other than that, we are slowly getting along and are just over the moon in love with the new little Janzen in our lives. We couldn't be more blessed and thrilled to have him. He is such an amazing blessing from God and we can't thank Him enough for him!

He is here!

Jaxson Charles Janzen

Born: December 6, 2010

Weighing: 7lbs 9oz

Measuring: 20 inches long

Last night in a silent house.

I am sitting here, in the quiet, just relaxing with my feet up, wondering what it will be like on Friday when we are all home. When I say all, I mean, the 4 of us (yikes) and the dogs. Our family of 3, well 6 with the animals, will become a family of 4 (7 with the mammals). My c-section got pushed up from 10AM to 8AM so we now have to be at the hospital at 6AM. That means my alarm is set for 4:15AM. That already makes me nervous. With the time being moved up, Jake went to go stay with my parents tonight. I already miss him. I think I will miss him terribly over the next few days. Not being able to tuck him in, wake him up, listen to him talk non stop, playing...ugh. I already miss it now. The dogs have been shipped off to the kennel until Friday. They are already living it up and having a blast. Figures. So the house is silent. The most silent it will be for a long time. To be honesty I am wigging out. I feel like I am about 15 minutes from just breaking down and crying. I am nervous for the surgery for starters. I don't want to vomit, I hope the spinal goes okay, and I pray that the surgery goes according to plan. I know things don't always go as you want them to but I really hope tomorrow does. I am also getting nervous about what he looks like. Is he healthy? How big is he? Are we sure it's a he? I have a million and one things running through my head and I hope I can just fall asleep tonight. I better be able to. I also have a nose thing going on. I don't have a cold or a sore throat but my nose is stuffed up something fierce and it's really causing me to not sleep well. Like I need that. I shouldn't be worried about it and I know God has a plan for everything. I am just hoping that tomorrow He will give me the comfort and strength I need to make it through the day. I am just praying for calm nerves at this point. I want to have a light heart and be relaxed and joyful tomorrow. Next time I write, we will have a new Janzen to talk about! =)

With Monday fast approaching, I find myself reflecting on the past 8-9 months. I cannot believe how fast time has gone and it seems like yesterday when Jana and I were heading to Williamsburg and I found out about #2 on the way. It was months ago but I feel like it was yesterday. I am extremely blessed with the people I have around me. My family and friends have been completely amazing and have been there for me through so much. I can't thank them enough. I even had a few friends that I got to share this time with since they were expecting before and after me. We have had some good chats! There have been quite a few people that have had babies around us so after each one was born, it was just one step closer to ours. One thing I am completely grateful for and God was really watching out for us was my car accident. Anything could have happened that day. God was protecting us and kept us all safe, including the baby. We have been blessed throughout this whole experience and I am so thankful and grateful for everything we have been blessed with. 

A few things I will miss:

Movement: This baby was 100% more active then Jake ever was. It might of been his position but I could feel him from 15 weeks and Michael could since about 17-18 weeks. I will miss Jake's face light up when he could see his brother move and roll around. Sometimes he would even yell at him because he thought the baby was hurting me. I can't help but laugh about that. I will miss it terribly but can't wait till I am holding him in my arms.

Food: I should really say eating whatever I want. I will not tell a lie. I engorged myself this pregnancy. Not really with bad things but I was starving all the time. Total plus side is I have gained a total of 1.5lbs. That is it! Being pregnant in the Summer and Fall completely helped. It wasn't till about November that I started not wanting to do as much because the weather wasn't as great. Downfall currently is that all I really want is fruit and it is way out of season. Bummer.

Jake: He has been so excited about his brother. He talks about it and points out toys and clothing and is always like "That is (enter name here)" or asks "Is my baby here yet?!" I have a feeling it will change once his brother is here. Jake dislikes noise. It will be interesting with a new baby crying how Jake reacts to it. I am sure he will love his brother and be a great help. It's just been fun watching him want to help out with everything. He helped put the bassinet together, the pack-n-play, helped Michael get the car seat ready, and loves to put his clothes away. He will learn something and then say "I will show (insert name here) how to do this when he gets older!" It's adorable.

Sleep: I love sleep. It's been great going to bed at 8:30 and getting to sleep about 9-10 hours a night. I love that Michael is so helpful with Jake so I could get to bed some nights at 7:30. Jake was an awesome baby and slept in 4 hour increments from birth so I was only getting up once a night. Every child is different so I have this fear this baby will be an every hour baby. We will see. It's funny because once you start waking up with the baby, you want to. You don't have that "ugh go back to bed" feeling. It's weird. Maybe I am the only one like that. I will miss being able to sleep for 10 hours straight though!! Michael is home for 2 weeks, maybe even 3 so I look forward to nap time daily!

There are other little things I will miss and I can honestly say I really enjoyed this pregnancy! Not having pre-eclampsia was a huge blessing and made it much more enjoyable. We also have a ton of new stories in the book for the wacky things that have happened to me during the past few months! Glad I could make so many people laugh! =)

Things I won't miss:

The back and shoulder pain.

The light bladder control issue when I sneeze, laugh, cough, hiccup, and do other little things.

Feeling like I need a crane to turn me over in the middle of the night when moving from on side to the other.

The pelvic pain. This is something I will never miss. TMI for some but I want my vajayjay back thank you!

Constantly having to use the restroom.

The flatulence. We have enough stories in the book on this subject for the past 9 months.

The word "Preggo". I hate that word, always have and always will. Use the proper term or do not say it.

Going to the to doctor a ridiculous amount of times in a 9 month period. 

Being so exhausted all the time. There is a difference from being "pregnant" tired and "staying awake with baby" tired. Pregnancy tired messes with your whole body. Your body just aches for no reason.

I am sure there are other things but I can't think of them right now.

It is hard to believe that in 3 days we will be a family of 4! It scares me a little but we will make it through. I am so thankful for everything going on in our lives right now and I cannot wait to see what else lies ahead.

FYI on the lovey doveyness ahead:
I do want to take a moment to thank Michael for everything he has done for me. He is the greatest husband a girl could ever dream of. He is always willing to help out and not complain about it. There were days where he knew I was just exhausted and would make dinner or just help out. He is so supportive and shows endless love to me and Jake. He is such a fantastic father and I am sure he will just be better with two. I love him so much and more and more everyday. He makes life exciting and  new and I can't thank God enough for blessing me with him and for guiding us together. I love him more then words can express and he is my other half.

Final doctor appointment!

After many scheduled and rescheduled appointments over the past few days, I finally had my final doctors appointment. My doctor is currently suffering through the flu and has thrown a giant wrench in at the clinic. It was packed when I got there. We are usually in and out in 15-20 minutes flat. I had to wait 25 just in the waiting room and the nurses and receptionists were running around like crazy. I saw one of the other ladies which was fine. She went over a few odds and ends with me. I got to listen to the heart beat, which I love, and then she did my measuring. Of course, I had to go out with a bang. She was trying to feel the position of the baby and she pushed down on my stomach and forced out a lovely week old smelling broccoli fart. We busted out laughing immediately. I was so thankful she was just as immature as me. We were laughing so hard, I did it again and we started laughing all over again. She had to sit down and we both had tears streaming down our faces. A nurse came in asking what was going on and we couldn't even talk. It took us about 5 minutes to calm down. She is currently pregnant with her 3rd and said that she is a walking Gas Bomb. Some days I wish I could just record my life. That was my funny for today.

Last night was not a good night. I should say this morning since I woke up at 2am. I had horrible stomach pains. Michael of course immediately thought it was labor and couldn't fall back asleep. The pain in my stomach never went away so I knew it couldn't be contractions. I spent the next 5 hours throwing up from both ends. I literally got hold of a bad burrito. I took a shower around 4 that lasted an hour and it was amazing. I sent Michael to work and after he left I had the worst part of it. I then slept from 7-11 and woke up feeling 315% better. I am afraid to eat anything so I have been working through a box of crackers. Haha. I am hoping to get another nap in this afternoon. I do not want to repeat this morning. That was horrible!
