Today...

  • I am very thankful for antibiotics. Ethan went to bed at 6:30, slept until 7:00 and woke up feeling MUCH better than yesterday. yay! Hopefully he kicks this nasty thing quickly.
  • I also got some much needed sleep last night and am feeling much better. The night before I had been up since 2:45 am... yuck!
  • Three weeks from today I have an ultrasound and can hopefully find out the sex of this little baby :)
  • Laundry is going, dessert is being baked for tonight (it's our turn to host our weekly Tuesday night dinner) and I'm headed off to the grocery store in a bit.
  • I am enjoying the sunshine today before we have a few days of cold and cloudy weather.
  • I am currently obsessed with plain black iced tea with lemon. It has to have lemon.
  • I am in the mood to sew but don't have the time to do it today. Perhaps next week.
  • That's about it this morning :)

Ah the miracles of antibiotics sometimes 24hours is all it needs to do its magic! Glad everyone is feeling better today. Are you sharing the sex of the baby with those of us here in blog world? I am hoping for a girl #1 because girls are fun and #2 because I have a girly blanket knitting pattern I am dying to make and you would be the perfect reason to make it!

Can't wait to find out the sex of your baby!! Is black tea okay when you're pregnant? I really want some. I know that herbal tea isn't, but I haven't heard anything about black.

Charlee- of course I'll share the sex! I couldn't keep that a secret :)

Noreen- Black tea is fine to drink when you're pregnant. I suppose you shouldn't drink tons and tons of it b/c of caffeine, but I've been having like three huge glasses a day, lol.

Good to know I need a new project here in a few weeks!

As for the tea if you put ice in it you are watering it down some so you are actually gettng more water in your system and there are great antioxidents in tea. (I live on iced tea decaff so I know all the good)you also are keeping hydrated for the baby and hopefully the nausea!

Ah man! I've been craving it this whole pregnancy and now it's almost over. Instead of tea I've been indulging in desert drinks. That must explain the 40 pounds I've already gained.

Charlee- yeah, you are right, I do water mine down a lot because I use a ton of ice. Tea is good for you! I drink iced green tea all the time too.

Noreen- You do not look like you're gained 40 pounds, you look terrific! You will probably loose it very quickly :)

Meet Old Blue

Image
The other day I took the kids to the pet store to look at the animals. 
This may sound lame, but it's a super fun and FREE outing.
This time it didn't end up being free because we came home with a little something.....


We named him Old Blue  (okay, I named him that... after the old guy in the movie Old School). He's a Beta Fish, and quite pretty if you ask me.
Our track record with fish isn't great, but I figure these guys are pretty hardy,  so hopefully he'll survive for a while. Is it odd that I'm using him as a centerpeice on my dining room table?

Trip to Healdsburg

Image
We decided to take a trip up to Healdsburg before summer is over, because we don't know when we'll be able to get up there again, and we really miss our Flores'.  The weather was so nice while we were up there and we enjoyed our time so much.  The best part about visiting them is that the kids are just as excited as we are, and they all love being together so much.



 We got to explore a few of Healdsburg's parks... which are really pretty, actually they are GORGEOUS.   Everett and Evie walking :)  Alayna gathered flowers and Jolene helped her make a flower crown...

The big boys set up a tent in the backyard and ended up sleeping in it three out of the four nights we were there.  It was so much fun for them.

We drove out to the Sonoma Coast which was really neat.  Matt and I had not been to a Northern California beach before.  It was gorgeous.

We ended up finding the best sandy beach in Bodega…

bath paints, a sick boy and the yard

Poor Ethan came down with a nasty bug on Friday night.  He woke up at 3:00 am with a croup-like cough and couldn't breathe.  He then had a fever and cough for two days and didn't get off the couch hardly at all.  Thank goodness for cartoons!!  Today he's still feeling icky but at least his fever is gone.  He has no energy.  The poor little guy asked to go to bed at noon :(  I think this is the sickest he's ever been.  The one kind of selfish and positive thing about about him being sick is how calm our house has been since all he's done is lay on the couch.  Sadly him being sick has almost felt relaxing for me.  Hopefully no one else gets this nasty bug!!!
(well, scratch the no fever thing, after posting this he woke up from his nap with his fever back... 102... poor buddy)

Matt spent the weekend in the backyard.... He looks excited doesn't he?  hehe.
Mostly he didn't want his picture taken after working all day.
It's dirty out there.
He is in the process …
