First trimester down...

Already, the baby is 3-4 inches long (measuring a little small at the 10 week ultrasound)

Some random things...


How far along: 14 weeks as of Sunday July 22

Weight gain/loss: plus 2 pounds

Maternity clothes: Not yet, I need to get them out of storage though

Stretch marks: blah  no new ones…

Sleep: I am so tired and sleeping a lot

Best moment this week: hearing the baby's heart beat, and scheduling the anatomy ultrasound for August 20th.

Food Craving: I just love food in general

Gender predictions: We already have a girl so a boy would be nice but we will take whatever we are given.

What I Miss: I am not much of an adventurist but there have been a few little things I have not been able to or had to put off for a while.

How I am feeling: I feel fine, not even really pregnant actually. Not very nauseous or anything, just tired


It is still a little hard to believe that we are actually having another little one. Not that it wasn't planned, it was just a little sooner than expected. 



Here is the picture I shared before. 


This is my 98th blog post :) what should I do for the 100th? I'm looking at a few ideas... stay tuned

Ichiro

On my list of things to do this summer found over here somewhere ---------------->
was go to a Mariners game. My only reason for going was traded to the darn Yankees :(
I heard he asked to be traded. I do think the team was holding him back from his true potential. I have also heard that he is pretty stuck up and full of himself but anyway he was the last good player. I grew up watching some of the Mariner greats in the early 2000's like Edger Martinez, Brett Boone and Dan Wilson. (my favorites) So they have nothing left...

My list of things to do this summer has been neglected we haven't made it to Oregon, we missed pie day. The walking/hiking every week isn't happening everyone is either too tired or to busy. There is just over a month left I hope we can find some fun things to do.

And and and and some hit the side of the Changer... why cant people be honest and leave a note or something grrr

writing

I have completely coherent thoughts that go through my head about everything. Things I want to share with people. Then I start to write them down and the thoughts get lost in a sea of jumbled words. I see friends blogs where there thoughts and experiences are wrote so perfectly and organized. Then I feel bad for people trying to understand what I am trying to say.

Some thoughts for today...
Driving
Back aches
and babies

Driving
I don't drive... I drive around the gravel road where my family lives a little. I did have a permit before and did a lot of driving to town and back (like 4 years ago). For some reason I fear it. Having control over such a big powerful machine. The Idea that I could do a lot of damage to something or someone. I feel like I can not concentrate on the road and my surroundings. Knowing if I am between the lines. Ty's road rage doesn't help he gets really upset with "stupid" drivers and I do not want to be a "stupid" driver that makes someone feel that way. I guess I just need to relax and find some time for Ty to take me to get another permit. The time thing is an issue Ty doesn't have time to drive us around all the time so I need to take on the responsibility. 

Back aches
or maybe chronic back pain... I think that when someone complains about their back hurting at least 3 times a day everyday that they need to do something about it. I told him I was going to set up a consultation with a chiropractor in a whinny tired voice he said "I have no time"


Babies...
I didnt take enough/any pictures on the 4th
 In fact Ty went to sleep at 7 and Allyson at 9. We had a nice bbq with Ty's family and that was about it.

I have been dealing with the idea of another baby. With so many friends and acquaintances not being able to get pregnant, having miscarriages, giving birth to stillborn babies, losing babies after a few hours of life and just having terrible pregnancies. It feels almost wrong that I can get pregnant very easily, have easy pregnancies and hopefully more smooth deliveries. (I think that means we should have lots of kids but Ty says 3 we will see :) Im going for 5...). We are expecting #2 in January the babies will be 21 months apart. That was a little shocking to me but I have many friends that have little ones just as close or closer and most of them are doing fine :) Sometimes I feel to young...


Anyway if I hadn't seen this picture I probably wouldn't believe it. I had very little morning sickness with A and none this time just a little nauseous and really tired. I don't feel pregnant. At almost 14 weeks now I can tell that my belly is getting bigger.

  


So that is my extra long post that probably should have been 3 or 4 separate posts.

A rant

I rant a lot on here because on facebook you get to many options and I dont want to fill up the news feed with my complaints. (Im not a big fan of daycare, its more understanding when there is one parent though) 

Today's rant is about the neighbors across the hall. The dad works nights and the mom works days. They have two girls 2 years old and a 5 years old. So with both parents working the girls must go to daycare. They get home just before 5 every week day. Then Ty started getting home very early in the morning I noticed that the kids leave for day care at 5:30am. 11 hours of daycare... So when they come in the girls especially the youngest are very loud and usually  getting yelled at for this or that or something random thing. I always think really you are with them what? 2 hours a day and you spend that time yelling at them. So today the mom comes in with them, the older girl was scuffing her feet. The mom in a very mean yelling voice says "stop scuffing your feet" which leads to the little one making screaming noises (in my opinion because here mom in yelling) the mom then says "that is not polite" to the little one. Really, it seems to me that a nice please do not scuff your feet or can I help you with your shoes so you are not scuffing your feet would have solved the problem and not cause the loud commotion that happened. I may not have included that they come in very loud everyday.

I guess I am a fan of a gentle voice. Is there really a need to raise your voice? I know some people feel the need to use a stern voice with their problem children but in the end they are still problem children. Maybe that fear they get from a mean voice encourages misbehavior. What about respect? As adults do you like it when someone yells at you? does it make you a little hardhearted towards that person. 

I follow the Duggars (19 Kids and Counting) yes it is a TV show and for show but the children are so good on camera. To get 19 kids a daughter in law 2 grandbabies 2 parents and a grandma under control (and sometimes crazy cousin Amy and when the Bates visit with their 18 kids) they must be doing something right. They believe in using a quiet voice. Michelle Duggar (mom) has said something in the way of the kids know the quieter I talk the madder I am. Also that using a soft voice helps prevent anger that you will regret later.

Yep so that is my little rant about not yelling at kids that started as a rant about my annoying neighbors. I think using a soft voice to correct children is more beneficial.
