Good Monday!!

Today was a good day!! Lilly popped right up when I went in to wake her up and was in a good mood. I had to wake Lance but he was good. After getting both kids dropped off to school I headed to a Moms group meeting. This was my first time going & I really enjoyed it!! Lilly's soccer coach had told me about it in the spring but by the time I made contact they were finishing up for the school year & just started back up. Anyway, I knew a couple of the other moms & was able to meet a few more. One of them is the mom of one of the boys in Lance's class!! Hopefully, it will be an opportunity to meet some more people & friends for the kids.

After that I grabbed lunch (all.by.myself)!!!! Then meet mom at Target to check out some of the options for Lilly's bday. Mom got her the Happy Birthday Barbie, which was one thing she had said she wanted. Other than that we are still deciding. She had mentioned a doll house, but that would mean one large gift & I am not sure it's something she REALLY wants.

My "me time" ended quickly and I had to go get the kids. First Lance then in line to wait for Lilly. Luckily Lance slept almost the entire wait so that was good. We came home and relaxed then went outside for a bit. They are loving the weather! The sun is still hot for me, but if I can stay in the shade I do ok.

We now have 3 of 5 girls confirmed for Lilly's bday party so I am happy! I was worried no one would be able to come! Plus, the dr. called and said my blood work all looked normal! I didn't have a chance to call back but she said everything was good and only to call if I had questions!

I was tired by the time I got home with the kids and got a headache but all in all felt pretty good!

Relaxing weekend!

We did pretty much nothing this weekend! Lots of relaxing and playing. Mom had picked up the kids Friday from school because I had a training so they stayed there and played all evening & I took a nap! Saturday we slept in, then went to Wal-Mart to let Lilly do some birthday window shopping. Today we lazed around and then headed to Target & the park. The weather has been so nice the past week that they kids have been going crazy to get out. All in all it was a good weekend!

~13 weeks~

Today was our dr. appt. I am not quite 13 weeks, but we are calling it that. Everything looks good. The ultrasound was good, heartbeat was 145. I'm pretty sure he/she was sleeping. It never moved. Just sitting there with it's arm up and legs propped chilling. We opted for this ultrasound basically because we wanted an extra sneak peek!! They checked the fluid behind the neck and took blood. They look at those together and can tell if the baby is at risk for certain disorders. We won't know anything until next week. We got some pretty good pics from the ultrasound. I don't have a scanner right now so I took pics of them to post. They aren't great, but hopefully you can tell a little. (No we did not find out gender, that won't be until early Nov)

Head is on the left, arm is up, you can see the torso and little of the foot on the right

Head and arm....saying Hello!!!

This one didn't turn out, but it's actually a good one. The head and arm on the left. Then the spots on the right  is a leg and the foot is up.

Another head and hand shot

Far right, two little dots....little duck feet!!

I am starting to feel a little better, but not 100%. I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. The biggest problem is that I have no appetite. Nothing sounds good. When I can make myself eat I usually feel better, but it's hard when you have no desire. Hopefuly, in the next week or so I will be feeling much better!! We go back in 4 weeks for another checkup and then the next appointment in early Nov will be the fun one!!

Strep

Well, Lilly has strep. The funny thing is she has had no fever today and has felt good! She can't go back to school till Thursday....guess she gets an extra, extra long weekend!

Labor Day weekend!!

It was a wet and windy weekend here!! We did nothing Friday evening or Sat just played and chilled. Sunday we did get out and get Lilly's bday decorations and made a stop by the bookstore. Then we headed to visit with Mom and Dad for a bit. Lilly started feeling bad and running a fever. It has been low and not constant, but her throat is pretty red and swollen. We decided we are keeping her home tomorrow to go see the dr. I just can't get her up and send her if I know she isn't 100%. I am afraid it is strep....so fingerscrossed it's not!

Lilly trying to master Bop It Extreme!!

A little Lite-Brite fun!!

Trying really hard.....getting a little frustrated....

Candyland...their new favorite. Although Lilly does not like to lose!! She wants the Ice Cream cone everytime!

This is what they did while I was on the phone with Jess. I knew they were up to trouble, but honestly they were playing good so I took my chances. Apparently they were going on a trip to Indiana and needed to take everything they own!! I can't get over the expression on Lance's face.....he seriously looks like he is about 16 and saying "whatever mom"

Hope you had a good holiday weekend!!

Lilly's change of clothes

You may remember when Lilly got kool-aid spilled on her the 2nd day of school and didn't change. Well, mom and both reminded her and told her if something like that happened again to ask to change.

Fast forward to yesterday when I go to pick her up. As she is walking out I notice she isn't in the clothes I sent her in. When she gets in I asked what happened. To which she replies nothing why? I said your wearing your extra clothes. She said, "My water spilled and I was wet so I asked to change, Mammaw told me I could do that". I explained that was fine and I was happy she rememberd she could do that.

So we get home and I get her "wet" clothes out of her bag. She brought the entire bag of extra clothes home (including the clean underwear & socks). I look and see her shorts were in fact wet (probably not so much she couldn't have worn them, but no big deal) However, her shirt is perfectly dry. When I said, "Lilly your shirt is dry, you only need to change what's wet". She replied, "but mom.....they would have both been blue!" (She had worn a navy polo yesterday and her extra skirt was navy). I cracked up and said, "Good point". I mean what could I say....a girl has to look good!!

No cavities!

Another perfect checkup!
