Friday before the weekend

-
I got to hear the baby's heartbeat today! It gave me a sense of peace in my mind that the little one is still chugging along, even though I don't always feel so good. And I haven't gained much weight. One pound. 14 weeks. The doctor isn't concerned, so I need not, right?
I knew I shouldn't have posted anything yesterday about no hives. I went all day without a Zyrtec and then, boom, right before bedtime they come out of hiding. Bummer. I think it might have something to do with either the cold I am getting or the flu shot I had earlier in the week. Last time I got sick I had them. My weird body.
This weekend we will hopefully be working on the deck. It is a mud pit now. Maybe we can get in a small game of mud football before the cement is poured. The boy would love that! Oh, and there is that small thing about costumes and candy ... I think that is tomorrow... the kids will let me know.

    So... on the hives... I have a good friend who had them her entire pregnancy - then they found out it was an Rh factor incompatability thing and she had to be on special medication to protect the baby for the remainder of the pregnancy.... I'll have to ask her about that.

    There really is nothing quite like hearing that little heartbeat, is there? One of my favorite things was seeing my son's teensy tiny perfectly formed fingers on the first ultrasound at 9 weeks gestation - I didn't know before then that the hands would be perfect by then. Wow! God is amazing!

Success!

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Life is full of Surprises

So here's one picture from my birthday that I *forgot* to put on that post last month. Surprise! I have had mixed feelings about this for some time. But after my first doctor's appointment this week, I am much more positive about this big change in our lives. We finally told our other 4 what was going on. Now they understand, maybe, a little bit more why Mom is always on the couch sleeping. And they are super excited. I don't think they remember what is was like 4 years ago when the youngest was born and made SO much noise... Of course, she still makes a lot of noise, just a different kind.

People Watching

I love people watching. It can be so fun. So enlightening. So ... interesting. Do you ever make up stories about people you see? Or is this just a quirk of mine? My brain has to have something to think about while I drive! So each day I go to pick up The Boy from school, I pass all kinds of people. Today I saw the Postman who looks kind of like Hulk Hogan. Long blonde hair, mustache, buff arms. I think he is actually H.H. living here in our town, posing as a mailman to get away from the paparazzi. And then there's The Runner. This guy is either punching the air while he runs - shirtless most of the time- or rockin on his iTunes. Either way he usually looks like he's high on something. I wonder what he is training for. Today I saw a new intriguing sight. I passed by a man, running down the street with a Macy's bag in his arm. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, and tan Carhartt's; looked like he just gotten off work; he was running towards the work-truck, the kind with...
