Bad Blogger

So I know I have been horrible about updating my blog. It's been 2 1/2 months since my last post but I swear I have a good reason......wait for it......Were pregnant again! Well that's not the reason I haven't blogged, it's because I have been sick, AGAIN! I expected to be sick this pregnancy because my Dr. warned me but it's so much harder this time. Trying to take care of an active toddler while I'm throwing up in a cup while changing a poopie diaper has not been fun!!! Poor Ryder has been a trooper but it breaks my heart I'm not well enough to keep him entertained and out and about all day. I know he wont remember but I feel like we both are missing out on so much! I honestly haven't picked up a camera more than 5 times in the last 2 months. And when I have poor guys always in his pj's as am I even at 4pm. Poor Danny hasn't gotten home cooked meals in months as a result of me being sick and he's taken on all the nightly duties with Ryder (dinner, bath, and bedtime). I feel horrible saying this since there are so many couples who struggle to conceive, but I HATE BEING PREGNANT. And pregnancy obviously doesn't like me. With Ryder I threw up daily until I delivered him. I'm hoping for an easier pregnancy this time. I was in the hospital once this pregnancy for dehydration and luckily each week is getting a little easier. And as long as my insurance company continues to pay for my meds which are $3000 a month, yes $3000 I can continue to keep some meals down and grow a healthy child. I'm just over 14 weeks, due 10-10-10 (awesome date).

Strawberry picking at Tanaka Farms (so fun)


To put more on our plate, we just bought a house. We've been patiently waiting for this short sale (nothing SHORT about it) that we fell in love with back in September. It's FINALLY ours. We had a whirlwind escrow, all of 26 days but it was worth the wait. We have been remodeling the house for the last 4 weeks, it will be done and ready for move in next week. It will basically be a brand new house minus the kitchen and master bath when we move in. Those two things we plan on doing in the next year. Also a pool. The thing I'm most excited about is new windows (I can't stand old windows) and a jacuzzi tub. Also proud of the fact my hubby did most of it! Danny hasn't had a day off in 31 days (not even Easter) and will continue to work everyday until we move. He's been gone about 16 hrs. a day between his job and working at the house. I am amazed daily by how hard he is working to make sure this is our dream home. I wish I could give him the gift of sleep and relaxation right now. So we are all ready to move and get settled in and have life be a little easier!!!

You will have to stay tuned for before and afters. I promise it wont be in 2 months. One were settled I'm sure we will get back to a normal routine.
