My life these days....

I'm on day 3 of this crappy cold that my body just wont kick. Today I actually have some energy back and was able to get up and clean the kitchen, but as soon as I was done with that back down I went. Honestly as bad as I hate this cold I am glad it came BEFORE Disneyland! It would be awful to have this plus 6 months pregnant walking around in 70-80 degree weather. So to try and turn a negative thing into something positive I am grateful it came on now:) I wont lie I have enjoyed my warm drinks, hot baths and more naps than I can even count in one day, but I'm seriously ready to going back to my normal routine. As yucky as it sounds all I want to be able to do is clean again. If you know me then you know I have an obsession with cleaning and really enjoy it. NOTHING stops me from cleaning besides morning sickness and normal sicknesses. Actually let me rephrase that, NOTHING stops me from cleaning MY house. Not so much a fan of cleaning up other peoples houses/things.

Okay off my lame cold........Rylee is so excited to have a sister! I never thought she would be so excited and understand what is happening. Yesterday while we were at Walmart we pass the baby clothes and Rylee says, "We need to go to the baby clothes." Aaron and I told her we didn't need to go over there because she is too big for those clothes. Her response was so cute and melted my heart! "Not for me for my sister!" So of course we take her over there and she just kept pulling thing off the shelves like she was the one going to buy them for her. Everything she sees that is for babies isn't just for babies, it's for her baby sister and every time I say we have to go to the doctor she always thinks the baby is coming that day. It's so cute I can't even handle it!

Sometimes I wonder why or how I got blessed with such a wonderful life and family, but then realize who cares how it happened all I know is I am more than grateful that it did:)

Boo!!!

Seriously I have never had a cold hit me do hard and so fast! I went to bed last night at midnight feeling awesome and then woke up at 3am wanting to die! My throat was on fire and I had so much chest congestion it hurt to take deep breathes. Never in my life have I had a cold like this!
Aaron has been so good to me today. He is always good to me, but today he has been extra good! Boiled me water to use for the steam, entertained Rylee, foot rubs, lots of naps and to top it off cleaned the whole house along with washing all the laundry! Now that's what I call an awesome husband! I have tried really hard to stay away from Rylee and load her up on vitamins, I would feel so awful if she ended up getting this nasty cold! Hopefully since this crap came on fast it leaves fast:)
My two favorite people!!!

TGIF

This week has been awesome!! Aaron, Rylee and I have spend every second together. Shopping,out to eat dinners, projects, just hanging out and relaxing! I pretty much just love it when Aaron has the option to spend all week with me:) I'm so glad it's the weekend! All that means is 2 more wonderful days with him!

Life just went from great to fabulous!

Off the subject of my title I have decided that I really enjoy blogging a whole lot more than Facebook and Twitter. Facebook has gotten so much better with the drama and I haven't been much of a tweeter only because it has so so much drama one there! Its kind of draining to see all those negative posts on there. I mean come on who would want to comment all all those negative or swear word filled status updates or tweets.So my goal is to start blogging more:)

So now on to my title...Aaron's mom has announced that she will finally be retiring, but what does this have to do with me? Well I have always been the biggest baby when it comes to putting my child in Daycare. It kills my heart to see her sad when I leave her and have crazy mixed emotions leaving her with people I don't personally know. One of the main reasons why I choose to be a stay at home Mother and planned to do so when this next little angel arrives. I have also finally started school again and working towards my RN. Without a daycare I have been limited to the classes I take and I'm trying to do as many online classes as I can. With her retirement It will help me tremendously! She has offered to take Rylee and the new baby while I go to school. So that means I have a babysitter that I trust, summer classes, and I can focus and finish school in a faster pace than what I was going at. She is happy with her new journey in life as am I:)

My child is on this weird new schedule and I don't know where it came from! She has decided that she wants to stay awake until, okay honestly I have no idea how late till because I finally give up with her in between 1:00am and 1:30am. Last night I was spying on her at 2:00 and getting a kick out of her. I was trying to record her, but that didn't works so well since as soon as I hit record I was caught. At 2 I see her door open and she flips her light on, so I jump out of bed to see what she is doing. I see her crawling back in her bed and going under the covers and starts playing around. It seriously is the sweetest thing when you see your child playing and talking to her toys! After she catches me I walk in there this was our conversation..
Me-Rylee what are you doing?
Rylee- I'm hiding
Me-From who?
Rylee- Well, you Mom
Me- Rylee its time for bed I will put on baby bach for you to help you sleep
Rylee-I don't want that how about a movie!
Me- No movies its time for bed
Rylee- Dad would put a movie on for me!
I literally had to walk out of the room just to laugh! Seriously 3 year olds come up with the funnest things to say! I try so so hard to be mad at her, but then she says something so adorable madness just leaves my body and I can't help but want to hug her and laugh. She is my angel and I can't get enough of her funny things. Another conversation we had a few days ago was about her tea party stuff, she wants to fill up her cups with water (which I let her and probably clean up spilled water 5 times or more a day) after so many spills and me tired of tea party I tell Rylee " No more water you just keep spilling it." I get this look like really Mom did you just say that to me and the words "whatever" with a little eye roll! Goes and gets her cups filled and grabs a towel on the way back to put under the cups. HAHA how do you argue that smart problem solver?
Parenthood is messy and so awesome at the same time! Life is amazing with this little girl and I can't wait to see what kind of messy both my girls give me:)

Another thing she decided she needed to do in the middle of the night...She needed to wash her dirty hand:)

Pregnancy brain!

Lets just say this time around I have had horrible pregnancy brain! I can't remember anything for the life of me. Aaron gets a kick out of some of the stuff I say, Actually we both do!
Last night Aaron and I had stayed up till about 2:30 (which is not like us) and at that time we finally decided we better go to bed cause we have an early doctors appointment. Alarm goes off at 9am so I roll out of bed and start getting ready while Aaron and Rylee still slept. By the time I was done we were rushing to get in the car to drive up to the U. On our way there we are both just so out of it due to the lack of sleep we got and ended up driving towards the E center soon to realize, "Oh shit we are driving in the wrong direction." Finally after U-turns we thought for sure we were going to be late to our appointment. Surprisingly we pulled into the parking lot on time. So we walk up to the office and literally as soon as I walk in the door I look at Aaron and say, "Oh my gosh Aaron I think my appointment is next Tuesday!" Talk with the receptionist and sure enough my appointment in for next week! The receptionist and office got a kick out of this and so did we. I think we probably laughed about this for 30 mins. This pregnancy brain situation was by far the funniest one I have had! It was actually a very enjoyable, eventful morning and wouldn't have done it any different.

Another completely funny thing that I did..... After Aaron takes the picture he says to me "hey do you want me to add another F on shut of stove?" See pregnancy brain never gives me a break!! LMAO!!

20 weeks!!

What is the weight of your baby: 10 1/2 ounces

How long is your baby: 10  inches long from head to heal

Morning sickness: 100% no more morning sickness

Cravings: PIZZA!! I don't know what it is with it but I can't get enough of it. Hand me some plan cheese pizza with Ranch and I am satisfied:)
Things I can't eat: Peanut butter!!!! It's heartburn city for me!!! Candy is also another thing I cant eat the baby just doesn't like it. Its so funny too cause with Rylee that's what I lived off of.

I feel the baby a ton and Aaron finally got to feel her for the first time on Feb 13! It was a perfect Valentines present for him. Although he hasn't felt her again:( The only thing I'm not so sure I am enjoying is my BOOBS! They are flipping HUGE!! I bought a 34DD 3 weeks ago and they are already bulging out! All I know if my boobs keep growing like this I had better produce more milk than I know what to do with. Ha Ha!!

The last 2 days have been all about doing the babies room. It definitely got a little hectic due to my wonderful indecisiveness to paint, but we finally got it and we are so in love with what we have done:) Its really hard to see the saying in the picture, we couldn't get a close enough picture to get the whole area in it.
The say says, "From small blessings come great things."

We are still working on the car seat, but only the umbrella part is all we have to do! The rest of the car seat is completely done and looks so stinking cute! When its all finished I will post pics:)

On cloud 9

After YEARS of ups and downs with things and people in life I have come to FINALLY realize what and who is truly important. Things and material things don't matter at all in ones life, It wont make you happy forever Name brands and expensive things are just a way to waste good money. I have realized that true friends are hard to find. A true friend includes you, needs you as much as you need them and doesn't only come to you when they only need something.
I feel so content right now about everything in my life and wouldn't change anything for the world! I have learned so much in life through ups and downs, but in my eyes it was the best way to learn life lessons. Pretty much I feel like I am on cloud 9 with everything that is happening and has happened in my life even if there was downs in the process. I just wanted to share my cloud 9 feeling:)
