Feeling better!

I pretty much had a pity party all day yesterday. Yes, I know, I am pathetic. I let C watch Dora for over an hour yesterday which I pretty much never do. I basically accomplished nothing all day except for surviving and keeping everybody else alive.

But the good news is today I feel about 100% better. I got to take care of the baby last night and had her today and she is feeling MUCH better and oh so smiley...oh man I love that baby! And I got my 11 mile run in and I let my dog come, and she had so much energy in the last 2 miles that I was kind of jealous.

AND my husband helped me map an 11 mile route to Chipotle and I ran there, and he met me there after my run and bought us burritos. And now I'm going to shower and take it easy until the boys get home and hopefully we can watch No Ordinary Family tonight after the littles are in bed. :)

Court in THREE DAYS! Oddly enough, it is also the day that we get our brand new fridge to replace our extremely small 1986 model. I am excited for the fridge, not so excited about court although I don't think anything major is going to happen. But we'll see.

    Honey - you deserve a pity party every once in awhile! You have so much on your plate and I think you are handling things better than anyone else I know would. Just hang in there and know that your mom and dad are praying for you as always. We love you and are proud of you!

    Oh man. I'm writing this comment for no reason other than I very possibly may be your biggest fan (other than your mom, obviously, who is an incredible supporter of you, which is what all moms should aspire to be, but IS quite noteworthy and awesome!!) AND that you should know that I am encouraged by your journey AND that I'm praying for you friend!!! (im probably like your #2 fan... Or maybe #3;)

    P.S. BTW, am I really supposed to be at 11 miles? Because I kind of have only run four miles total since psycho wycho on Valentines Day weekend. :(( Uh oh.

    My training schedule is pretty conservative. Plus you are much more of a stud than I am, and I'm sure you'll have no problem building back up for the marathon! :)

    And thanks for being a fan. You are a pretty cool chic yourself! :)

The news

In the spirit of this being my blog, and knowing that if anything were to happen I'd be blogging about it, I am sharing my news. So, several weeks ago I started feeling sick. We have been so lucky this year, we really haven't been sick at all which is really saying something considering the number of people who live in this house. I figured we were due, and wasn't too worried about it. You already know where this is going don't you!?!?!? A few weeks later, I really wasn't feeling any better.  Suspicious, I took a pregnancy test. Positive! What??!?!??! Yeah. Ben is 13 months old today, and I am 8 weeks, 4 days pregnant. Due September 25.  I am still nursing Ben at least 6 times a day, sometimes as much as 8 times. Apparently I have become Miss Fertile at some point over the last 2 years, after about 5 years of being Miss Infertile. There have been some moments of panicking, like when I called my mom because I was so scared to tell Brian because I thought ...

Big News

Alright, I think I'm ready to share. I was going to wait a few more days for more confirmation, but honestly I feel like all of you that follow my blog are my friends, and so if this doesn't work out then I am going to be on here crying and everything about it so I might as well just tell you, right? In July I started feeling really ill. I was having a hard time with getting out of bed in the morning. I was also training for a 31-mile race which takes place in October, and I noticed that physically I was just falling behind.  I religiously time my runs and I could see that my paces were getting slower and slower, and in the mean time I felt like I was working harder and harder.  I never felt well; in fact I felt downright awful. I just wanted to sleep all day, or at least just lay on the couch and watch TV. I had another symptom which made me very suspicious. My boobs hurt like nobody's business. Usually this is a sign that I am about to start my "surprise" pe...

Birth Story

Before I worry all of you, I want to let you know that at 5:24 a.m. on Thursday, January 17th, I gave birth to a 3 pound baby boy. He is healthy and doing awesome so far. I was exactly 29 weeks into my pregnancy. This is my birth story. The evening of the 15/16th I was having some contractions. Nothing too crazy though. The morning of the 16th I complained to Brian that every time I moved in bed I had a contraction.  After what happened last week (having contractions, went to L&D, nothing was wrong) I just assumed it was basically the same. The 16th was my 30th birthday.  I felt pretty crappy all day.  I assumed I was either starting to get sick (since my 3 little ones had been sick) or else that my body was working hard to fight off the sickness. I went to the Social Security Office to request new SS cards for the kids, came home and took a nap, and swept and mopped the kitchen floor. That was pretty much all I did, other than making dinner and general kid ta...
