Help and more

Dh has finally realized I need help trying to do everything he wants me to do. Well I am getting help, just not his. He is going to start every few weeks going and getting SIL #3 to come up here on the weekend. She will help tend the kids so that I can get some work done in the shop. So mainly my week will be kids and weekend will be shop work. I guess its better than nothing. I mean I will get stuff done now. Plus its hard to do it all when nesting and unable to be in 3 places at once ha!

I am having such a hard time this pregnancy to sleep on my side. I fall aleep on my side and always wake flat on my belly. I of course move but wow I hate feeling like I'm smooshing my child lol.

So ready for school to start. Is it August 24th yet? LOL ODD starts school that day and then just after labor day ydd starts school. So I will only have 2 at home until December. Woot!

My tomato plants are growing some yummy maters. I can't wait until they are ready so I can eat them!

Finally have everyone seeing the same doctor now. I feel better about that. Not that I didn't like the older 3 kids doctor, I just don't feel like he took everything I was feeling seriously. I trust my doctor alot more and he always listens even when its about something very minimal. Plus now if we all end up in the hospital we will all go to the same one, as before the older 3 would of been at a different hospital.

I think my house is pretty clean right now haha! I have been nesting and feel it hasnt looked this nice since i was nesting before Thad was born ha! I can feel it slowly dieing down though.

August 24th is my next appt and I will do my gd screen. So yeah not looking forward to that and don't have a good feeling about it either. only time will tell I guess.

Google Search

I added a google search functions so you can search other than in the blogspot from my blog.
I know not too exciting, the google search box is at the bottom of the blog.

Involvement

I am being an involved parent at Sabrina's school. I am going to be the Coordinator for the a few programs, BTFE, Campbells Labels, Nestle Pure Life Labels, Mycokerewards.com. So I am going to learn here soon some better time management skills. I wanted to be involved and I felt this was a good way. I will also be on the PAC (Parent Advisory Counsil - the schools version of PTO). I am excited. Sabrina is excited also, because it means I will be more involved with everything and she likes that idea, for some reason my children are proud of me and that makes me feel wonderful. I am also going to be her classroom mom. If the teacher needs some help with getting things like decorations or a classroom activity planned she will contact me. I am always trying to get more involved and I felt this was my chance since the school is just opening for the first time this year. The administration has plans to get a high school going also down the road so hopefully this is Sabrina's last school move and the only school for the other kids. So I can be involved for many years and help so many other children feel special. Best part is so many of things I am doing just require me to get materials from the school once or twice a month. I can also bring the other kids along as needed so as not to take Rick away from repairs.

Tooth

Thad has the start of his 1st tooth protruding thru his gums right now. I happened to look in his mouth and saw something white and I honestly thought he had some paper in there. I went to clean it out and I felt something slightly sharp and I knew it was a tooth. Yay!! He will at least have ONE tooth before he turns 1! Woohoo!!

Busy

The work for the business is starting to pick-up and we are starting to get slammed. I am overwhelmed even more now because I have to figure out a way to get work done in there plus tend the kids. I just don't feel comfortable leaving a 7yr old in charge of a 3 younger siblings with the youngest 2 still being very dependent on someone for most of everything. Rick does not see a problem with it however. So we have been arguing/discussing this for a few weeks and I just finally have taken the boys in the shop with me when I'm out there and the girls are in the house or outside. Normally outside in the backyard playing and Osiris goes out there and "flies" on his swing.

I've had my Zoloft updated once again so hopefully I can deal with everything without snapping and taking a drive like I used when when Aja was a baby. I use to just take Sabrina to her dads and keep Aja because he could not handle both girls alone and I did not want to stay with him. So Aja and myself would just go for a drive and not come back until the next day. Back then we'd end up in Ohio somewhere and rent a room, spend the night then head back home. Can't do that anymore these days. Sometimes I just wish I could do it once and do it alone (other than bean inside of course) and get time away. Oh well I will get another hospital vacation in Dec for about a week ha!

Its A ...

Unhappy Dh is what is it. So that must mean... Its a Boy! Leonidas Thomas is going to be the name. Rick is still slightly hoping at my next ultrasound to check the fluid and placenta we try and do another gender shot and maybe its a girl LOL. I told him wish hard enough but i don't think that will happen.

Appt

I had my hematology appt today my bp was up today 140/100. The nurse did it 3 times and got the same thing all 3 times. So she made a note and was really concerned. I've had a massive migraine for a week now and I guess I never connected the two. I have a home BP monitor too and never checked it. It was checked again before leaving and was 139/100 so yeah not much of a difference.

The NP I saw today called the OB office and made them aware of it and told them to check me really well on thursday. I guess its a good thing I have an appt in 2 1/2 days.

Thursday 9am is my ultrasound and we are hoping to find out.

Girls name is Ianthe (ee-on-thee) Marie R*** and the Boy name is Leonidas (lee-on-i-duhs) Thomas R***... Thomas is after my grandpa who passed away when I as 13.

He died 3 days after christmas that year. I remember crying my eyes out. I was just up there a few weeks before Christmas for my 13th birthday. I remember that birthday really well since it was the last time I saw him. I didn't get to make the funeral since we lived in Indiana and didn't have the money to make another trip there.

Attitudes

Oh my goodness!!! Since coming back from their dad's the girls have had such attitudes. They are getting on my nerves and I'm tempted to smackem but instead I send them to their room or make them sit down for awhile. The other day I told the girls to stop spinning in some chairs because it was making me dizzy and they told me "well look somewhere else". I was in shock! Today Rick told Aja to stop twisting the chains on the swing and she told him I will do what I want to which he responded Don't get smart with me little girl and her response " I will get smart with you whenever I want to!" Oh man! I am ready to spank them and kick their dad.

Give me patience please! right now they are upstairs yelling and fighting and I know they are sisters and it is expected but man o man they are giving me a headache and its not going away even with pain killers. I go to sleep and wake with a headache worse than I had before I slept.

Update 7/17

so since my last post. Things have been weird, crazy, and boring all at the same time haha. the girls were gone to their dads until the 11th. We picked them up and stop by a small discount grocery store and got amish popcorn seeds.

I have had some bleeding since the last doc visit. I am just going by the doctors recommendations --- if it doesn't fill a pad then to drink water and take it easy. So I've been doing just that. On Friday the 10th I made an ER visit because of course my stupid leg was acting up. It was really hurting and nothing was making it better but things did make it worse. It was nothing according to the ER doctor so he gave me some pain pills to take as needed.

Osiris is all over the place anymore. He is into everything worse than ever before. He made up for his sisters being gone by being extra annoying and loud lol!

Thad is trying to crawl/scoot/move haha. He gets up on his knees and then loses it and falls down. He just has so much extra weight still he cant keep his knee grip lol. He has been saying Mum mum mum mum mum for almost 3wks now. He has never yet said dad/da or anything to that sort. So makes me feel extra special. He will say "hi" if you say it enough to him.

I had a follow-up on Wednesday for my bleeding on june 29th. At first the doctor wasn't even going to do an ultrasound since I have my BIG one next thursday. (6 days can't wait!!!) Well he went to get a listen to the hb and couldnt find it. We both thought we heard movement swishing but weren't sure. So he sent me for a quick hb/movement ultrasound. Lil bugger wouldn't hold still too long so it was fun. Anyways we got a couple quick glimpses at the goodies but nothing too good to be 100% sure on. We both think we saw "a girl" So hopefully we find out next week!

Sabrina had an allergy appt on wednesday. She is going to try singular for 6 months for her allergies and if that doesn't help then she will get weekly allergy injections and she is trying to avoid that because she hates needles with a passion.

I could smack their dad and I think I just might. He didn't have sabrina do her inhalers or allergy medicine for almost the 2wks they were gone. She did 4 days out of the time gone. He had her in a flea infested house and she got covered in flea bites and scratching herself to bits! She has an ear infection also now and got it from being gone. scratched some of the flea bites so bad they got infected. Her dad didn't take her to a doctor to be seen and he has insurance on the girls. I am so mad and the doctors are too actually.

the ultrasound pic from wednesday 18wks 3 days!

OB Visit

I made a visit to the ob again today .... yes I was just there LAST Friday.... I had a major gush of blood again today and then after that just tiny dots when i wipe. So I called just to see what they would tell me. Brought me in, checked on baby, and blood. Didn't find any source of it yet again. So we are playing it off on the low placenta and fibroid and lovenox combo. I did tell the ob today that I told dr shethead last friday about my minor bleeding I had and he just blew it off he didn't like to hear that. So I am on pelvic rest and modified bed rest until my u/s on july 23rd. So yay me for being so much doctor fun this time and i thought last time was fun haha!
