Week Eleven

Not much new to report, still sick most of the time and tired ALL the time. I had a migrain this last weekend, and that really sucked, but I finally made it to my chiropractor today and I feel much better now.

It's raining here in KC today, which sucks, cause I've got a bunch of candy, and the rain keeps the trick-or-treaters off the street. Hopefully I can get rid of over half so I dont eat that much! Friday, hubby's work had a trick-or-treat for all the kids, and we took Matt as a pirate (with a mohawk!) You'd think no one in Johnson County, KS had ever seen someone with a mohawk before. It all depends on the weather tonight if hubby takes him out.

First Midwife appt.

Since my last pregnancy was without complication, and the worst part of my delivery experience was the damn nazi replacement doctor (my dr was on vacation, natch), I decided that I would find a midwife for my next baby, which, of course, is now.

Prenatal works mostly the same as with an ob. You go in, you pee in a cup, and weigh yourself. Except I get to dunk the test strip and see my own results, which is pretty cool. I still go in every 4 weeks until such time that I go in every two weeks, and then every week at the very end, just like I did with my ob.

There are several differences, tho, between a midwife and an ob. The main one is how many choices you get to make. They actually value my research and opinion, and don't get all condenscending on me when my choice is totally different from the norm. If I don't want something, they don't look at me like I've lost my mind and should be committed, and then give it to me anyway. (I really hated that.)

I'm also given the choice of having a water birth. I am soooo looking forward to trying that! Being in the water helped so much during my last labor. And it's better for the baby. (No, the baby can't drown, I promise.)

Hubby, of course, doesn't care who delivers the baby, as long as we are in a hospital with emergency care close at hand. You'd think he cared or something. ;)

Ninth week

Not much has changed in the "I feel like crap" department. I usually have about two good hours a day, but not even every day. My baby is now the size of a pinto bean, tho. How funny is that?!

Pregnancy Number 2

Well, since I'm not really playing my sims right now, I thought I'd turn this into a pregnancy journal. I discovered that I don't remember as much about my first pregnancy as I thought I did, and this will record it for posterity.

Currently, I'm at the beginning of my 8th week. I'm tired all the freakin' time. And if I'm not starving, I have an upset stomach. Not throw-up nauseous, just upset and not happy. There's maybe three hours in the day where I feel decent and normal. I'm really wondering how I managed to work thru my first pregnancy at this point! Oh well, only 5 more weeks, and the good part of the pregnancy will start.

Another baby!

Well, I'm six weeks pregnant, and the morning/all day sickness has hit. It really sucks! I suppose I should make my dr's appt now, huh?

Almost TWO!

I swear, I just brought him home yesterday!

If you love to read....

....you're probably at least half-way thru the new Harry Potter book. Or, if you're like me and my hubby, already done with it.

What's even more amazing than who dies is who kills the person that dies. And the romance scenes are too damn funny. I'd say more, but people might actually read my blog, and that would spoil the book.

Punk Rocker!

Isn't he cute???

I have a punk rocker baby!

As soon as we get the pictures uploaded from the camera tonight, I'll post Matthew's new haircut, with blue spiker in it!

Finally!

Our internet service has been acting crazy this week. It started Monday, Memorial Day. It was a holiday, no biggie, didn't really miss it. Since it was a holiday, no one was in the local office, so they told us to call on Tuesday. Tuesday we had internet. Well, until around 9, 9:30pm. Then it went off again. Called the cable company again on Wednesday, service guy came out Thursday morning. After Keith came home from work and reset the firewall, we had internet again, YAY!! Wait....wait....nope, sorry two hours is long enough. No more internet for you! This time, the modem light was still on, but still losing packets like there was no tomorrow. So I called them again this morning (Friday), and of course they can't get anyone out until MONDAY. So Keith checked the splitter, changed the cables around, and now we have perfect internet! We'll go buy a new splitter ourselves, and I get to tell the cable co to fuck off! wooohoooo!

it's been awhile

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. (not that many people actually check here that often).

Not much new in my Legacy challenge, other than I've got most of the first generation to the elder stage, and two in the town have actually died. Then I got bored (attention span of a gnat, remember?) and went back to playing in PleasantVille. So I'm there for a while. I'll go back to my Legacy challenge eventually, but playing it with a whole neighborhood and trying to keep everyone around the same stages in life is a challenge in and of itself. Should have known better!

toodles

Woohoo!

So my birthday is on Wednesday next week, but my birthday present came today! A 19-inch flat panel monitor from Dell! I'm in heaven! It's verra nice!

I love my hubby.

On a side note, now I can push my desk all the way to the wall so the toddler can't get behind it anymore!

Random post

My husband made a post titled Schiavo over on our website that I think everyone needs to go read, now.

3rd Generation-Legacy

Well, I finally got around to playing my Legacy family last night. I've been so busy playing another story line at university, I almost forgot about the 3rd G baby due. I actually got the father of the my 3rd G baby graduated from Uni, but not home yet. Still have to throw his party and all that. I really like University, now that I've got it up and running. Too many hacks, I know. I've heard it runs like a dream when you don't have any custom content or hacks in it, but what's the fun in that?

attention span of a gnat

yeah, so I didn't have the patience to even have my Legacy third generation born. pretty sad, huh. oh well, I've been spending the last week trying to get my downloads compatible with the new expansion. I haven't really played much, just gone in the game to see what works and what shows up flashing blue. fun fun fun.

the flu

Well, thanks to my son, me and my husband have both gotten our butts kicked by the 48-hour flu. Today (Tuesday) is the first day we haven't had a fever. Of course, Matthew got his 18-month shots yesterday, so he's got a fever again. I'm going to go buy some Lysol and disinfect everything today!

Oreos

Oreos and the Federal Budget, v2.0. pass it on.

My Legacy Family

Well, I finally found where the game stores my pictures, and why I couldn't find them. This is a picture of my starting sim for the Legacy Challenge. Her name is Stephanie Vonhavel.



Bloggerspot will only let me upload one picture per post (which is really annoying), so I'll post pictures of the rest of the family later.
