Mommy's Having a Baby!

I'm 13 -14 weeks along, due Dec. 20! We tried to avoid a December baby, but with my past miscarraiges, we couldn't be too picky. We only tried for a couple weeks in March, then decided to wait until June to try again. We were already pregnant by then! We started preventing in April and I didn't find out I was pregnant until I started getting sick, at about 6-7 weeks. I've been pretty sick, nauseous all the time, and wanting to throw up. It's pretty annoying and nasty, but it's for a good reason! I wasn't sick with my miscarraiges and miscarried at 5, then 7 weeks. So we are good to go this time around! I've been taking B6 and Unisom to help with the nausea, but sometimes it doesn't work and most days it just takes the edge off, to where I'm only a little nauseous. I get sicker in the afternoons and evenings.... blah, but I'm just truckin along and trying to do my best. The doctor found a heart beat at 8 weeks and we just had another appt. last week and everything looks great. I've never had 2 ultrasounds so close together. It's amazing how fast they grow. In just 4 weeks the baby grew 3 times it's size! No wonder I'm so sick. It's taking everything out of me to make this little human inside me :) We are so excited to add a new little one to our family. I'm still running Ragnar this weekend and have still been running. It's been extra hard with the nausea, but I've just pushed through it, but I'm taking my time. It will be a little different this year with racing, because I'm not going to push myself. As long as I finish I'll be happy :)

ER visit and such

It has been a very eventful week for us! I was working in the Kids Klub at the Sports Academy, (like I do once a week for a family membership) and my 3 yr. old Tyson was playing upstairs with some other kids and workers. I was down stairs with the babies. I was very suprized when one of the workers brought Tyson down to me and blood was soaking his shirt, running down his head and neck! I rushed him to the bathroom and got paper towels. Blood was soaking through the paper towels onto my hands. Other workers got a towel for me, that towel was soaked in seconds! Then I was rushing to the ER. I couldn't see how bad the wound was because of all the blood. Tyson was so brave and had stopped crying by the time we got in the car. We got to the ER, by then, the bleeding had stopped, thank goodness! He needed 3 staples. I had to apply local anesthetic for about a 1/2 hr. to make sure the area was somewhat numb. Tyson only said "Ow" a few times, when I had to hold a cotton ball to his head with the meds, and of course, when he got the staples, but that was it.

About a year ago, Tyson was in The ER for stiches (you can see a slight indent on his left ear) and now this. I'm hoping this won't be a yearly thing!

The story on how it happened: The Sports Academy had their yearly, opening pool party the previous weekend and they had a bounce house for the kids. They had rolled that up and stored it upstairs, where the kids play. Heather, the boss of the Kids Klub, had told the manager to take care of it, cuz it wasn't safe for the kids. Of course the kids are going to play on it. I don't know what the workers were doing up there before it happened, but all I know is that Tyson was playing on that, fell and hit his head either on the edge of it or on a pole next to it. The ER visit was billed to my insurance, but then I talked to Heather, boss of Kids Klub, and asked if I could bill Sports Academy, so we didn't have to pay for it, because it was their fault for having that upstairs where the kids play! I talked to the manager and so did Heather, and they said they couldn't do anything about it, which I thought was really dumb. I would understand if he hit his head on a table that is always in the kids klub, but it was something they should have taken care of and was unsafe for the kids. An accident is an accident, so they wouldn't pay for it. Owell, atleast my kid is okay.

Sweet Tyson, only hrs. after the incident.

Brayden started summer school last Monday! He is in this free, Kindergarten readiness, summer program, where he will be attending Kindergarten. It is so nice and he loves it!

Thursay was my last day of work! (until summer school) it will be so nice to have that break, catch up on things and spend more time with my kids and hubby.

Here are some of the aides, teacher and nurses I work with. I would post pics of me and the kids, but I would get in trouble for confidentiality reasons. I just put them in my own photo book of memories :)

My boys also started T-ball Thursday, they will play for 5 weeks. They love it! Yes, my week has been full of lots of fun and crazy things!
