Goodbye Long Hair!

Tomorrow's the big day!!! Say goodbye to the almost waist length hair. I hope Locks of Love is ready to pick out all my grey hairs too! :)

If Alaska doesn't want it.....

We'll take it!!

Wow, unbelieveable. I bet the people without jobs and on unemployment might have something to say about not wanting or needing that extra government money!

I forgot....as ususal

I wanted to post this little article about recycling newspaper.

I think that there are a few cute things on there, and I am going to keep it handy for the newspaper pots for planting! Maybe next year I won't have to buy peat pots.

Newspaper is also a very good weed preventer in the garden, just wetting it down, and layering it with mulch.

I am officially a whale!

29 weeks pregnant with #2

For the sake of comparison, here's what I looked like when I was pregnant with Melissa at about the same time.

First off, look how short my hair was!! Let me just tell you that it's hot in Florida, and I need to get this chopped off like 3 months ago! I think its time to reach out to Earl. I wonder if he makes house calls. :) Second, I know its a slightly different angle, but I'm still a monster. I don't think this baby is small at all, like they think. I guess we will find out next week after I reschedule my second level 2 ultrasound for next week.

Now, off to schedule that haircut too...

This is so cute! Can't wait to add the new baby!

Reasons why you shouldn't put your hazards on while driving in the rain

1- Your vehicle disappears when raining hard, and the lights blink off.
2- Your turn signals don't work.
3- You can't tell when you're breaking.
4- Its ILLEGAL in Florida. (And most others)
5- When used properly, hazards are for when you're stationary. This may cause other drivers to swerve around you thinking you are at a stop.

If you really feel unsafe driving in the rain you should PULL OVER!

Doctor Visits

Well, Melissa has another ear infection. I was hoping she was over that. She's going to the doctor tomorrow to confirm it, and get her regular meds, probably Keflex and Floxin. I'm just praying it doesn't hit the other ear after this one like it usually does. Poor thing. I asked her if her ear hurts and she says, "No mommy, I feel good." I guess she's as tired of taking medicine as I am of giving it to her.

I had a visit to the Cardiologist today, and everything looks good. With the pregnancy progressing, he said that I could up my does of Metoprolol another 12.5mg and then up another 25mg if I need it. Gonna go up the additional 12.5mg to see if it helps with my "episodes" as I have come to call them. The racing heart, shortness of breath, weakness and dizziness. Back again in 2 more months, right before I deliver.

Next week I am off to the OB again, and I start my visits every 2 weeks. I am seriously considering changing doctors, as my last resort doctor may be able to deliver me VBAC. That in addition to the other issues I was having with the office may be the nail in the coffin for me. Just hoping that my $1030 copay/deductible transfers. Especially since the insurance is going to be changing.

Two days of rain

Makes muddy planter, and a really full blow up pool!
















Maybe I should give up and plant lily pads? There is actually a green bean plant in the planter too, can't you tell?

And yes I know I should be grateful that it's finally raining, but can we save some for later when we need it again? Getting the 7 inches that we're behind all at once is not really helpful when it runs off.

All tuckered out

She was so tired last night, she didn't wake up but for a few brief moments when I undressed her, and tried to get her to drink some milk before laying her down. Slept from 6:30 pm - 7:30 am
