Me and My Family

Cheyenne in mountains
Cheyenne in mountains

I am a stay at home mom to 3 kiddos, Cheyenne Willow is 10, Khiley Jade is 8 and Cole James is  4. My husband and I have been together 14 years, married 11. I live out on a "ranchette" we have a miniature horse, sheep, dog, fish, chickens, a cow,  and a turtle.  It is funny how I am called a stay at home mom, but I am rarely home!  I like camping, hunting, fishing and playing cards with friends.  I also like doing the "tuff trucks"  So far I have had alot of opposition that it isn't for women, but not from other competitors.  I have learned lots as a first time mom, and now that I have 3 I think soon I may be a pro!  I have learned to make mistakes and move on, and if I feel guilty, I say I am sorry.  I just do my best.  So far I think we are doing pretty good Right now we are trying for baby number 4, so hopefully in a few months I can add that it is a sure thing to my profile.  I have a history of miscarriages and preterm labor so I know at least I will have to be carefull and not get my hopes up too soon.

Poked with needles,

Comment Published at 22:5022:501 comments1 comments4 Visits4 VisitsReport

Today I went and had more blood work, a test for my heart, and the normal pregnancy stuff.  My sonogram is next week, I am excited! I really think this baby is alive, I have morning sickness just a bit and I feel tired and tender girls! LOL,  I know that I shouldnt worry but I also dont want to get my hopes up too high.  I think all will be well.  Tonight the kids are staying with grammy and grandpa, Daddy is at work, so I have the house all to my self, and all I can think about doing is going to sleep!  We are going to the lake tomorrow, so I have a few things I should get ready first, but I think I will just get up at my normal time to do them.  Hubby gets home at 8, if I get up at 6 I should have everything done and ready to go, then grandpa will be here with the kids at 8:30.  Then we are off.  I cant wait!  I love the lake!  The kids love it, and I love watching them play and swim in the water and make sand castles.....

Ramblings of a sleepy gal

Comment Published at 22:3622:362 comments2 comments12 Visits12 VisitsReport

Today was my dr appointment, they gave me the paperwork to have blood work done, and suprisingly they are doing a blood test for my heart, my midwife said there IS medication that can controll it!  I hope I dont have to take it and that I dont have any episodes while I am pregnant, it is just good to know that if I need it, then its available.  I have a sonogram schedueled for the 10th, to make sure there is a heart beat, like I said before 2 times there was none.  I dont want to continue taking the medication if there is no hearbeat.  ;(  I am pretty sure this baby is fine though.  Today we missed cheer because both of the girls had earaches.  Cheyenne in both ears, and Khiley in one.  Then Sy started sneezing and has a runny nose.  I am thinking alergies.  So far no fevers, but I kept them home.  And they are just lounging about the livingroom, not even trying to go out and play.  Another sign you know your children are not feeling well.  We have a 3 day weekend, so far our only plans are to have dinner with friends Sat night and play cards, Jim is going Dove hunting Monday. We were talking about going to the lake, but with the earaches I think we are going to skip it.  I would like to sleep, for a day, yup that sounds like a good vacation to me, and to get up and have the house look exactly like it did when I went to sleep!  No peanut butter on the counters, toys on the floor, sugar on the table, ceral in bowls, etc....but I would even be willing to just get the sleep and clean up the tornado mess when I get up! lol.....

I wish I had a money tree! Id even settle for a bush!

Comment Published at 17:0117:012 comments2 comments9 Visits9 VisitsReport

No matter how much money someone makes it is never enough!  I wish I had the money to buy the entire cheerleading squad warm ups, but I dont!  We put a request to the board and they turned it down!  We the parents requested a fund raiser that we could do to go towards warm ups for the girls, and they said no, but we can do it next year, to hell with that next year we will be going to any of the other teams, who their players and cheerleaders already have all of their equipment, our first game is this weekend and the players do not have their game jerseys and the cheer squads do not have thier skirts and shells!  So I have a petition that several parents signed, all are willing to do a fund raiser to get warmups, but the Board said no, they did say however that if we had a sponsor then they would ok it, so I think my husbands business is going to sponsor it, and we will just do the fund raisers with the parents that want to participate.  And then the kids can keep the warm ups!  This has been a very backwards orginization from the start, and anytime a parent has a concern they tell you to pull your kid out and quit, WOW what a way to build character!  Teach them to quit!  IDIOTS!!! And no refunds!

Still prego!

Comment Published at 16:1916:191 comments1 comments10 Visits10 VisitsReport

So far so good, I am taking the prometrium twice a day, and I am 5 weeks, one day....I have a dr appt of Friday, due to my history, then I will have my normal pregnancy  visit at 10 weeks.  Yesterday I felt really bad all day, so tired! Then nausious, and cramping a bit. Today I feel great! A little queasy, but good, I got everything done that I had put off from yesterday, and even used my elyptical machine, I missed a few days, but I am back I hope!  I know there are things changing in my body because my skin has broken out horribly in the last 2 weeks, I look like a teenager again, my hair is so oily I have to wash it at night and in the afternoon.  But I know that is just hormones, and it should all even out soon.  I am willing to put up with anything because I want this baby so bad!!!
