Friday!!!!!!

I'm so glad it's Friday!!!!! And, I'm so glad I'm off tommorow :)

This week started off crappy but it ended on a better note...

I'm a little concerned about the election but I'm not going to worry about it.

Brianna was chanting, "John McCain! John McCain" in the car and I keep thinking about that and laughing.

Yesterday, when she came home from school she had an I voted sticker on her shirt and I asked her who she voted for... she said, "John McCain".

So, I asked her why she voted for John McCain and she said, "Because Barack Obama is going to kill our country." I asked her who she heard that from and she said, "Grammie". That sounds like something my Mom would say!

Anyways, my week in summary started out awful because I was extremely tired and when I'm tired every little thing bothers me! But, I finally caught up on some sleep and I feel much better, though I could stand a little nap right about now.

Sometimes, I miss working nights because I loved to come home when Bri was at school and take a nap!!!!!!!!

My week in summary...

-I addressed all my Christmas cards

-I debated mowing for the last time this year (YAHOO!!!!!) but I'm putting it off until tommorow.

-And, I bought tulips that I'm going to plant in 30 days. They are yellow tulips. I never planted them before but I thought they would be pretty for the spring... if I plant them correctly.

Also, I have to look into geting a new tree for the backyard. I'm going to plant it this November.

I have to do a little research.

-I'm completly done with Christmas shopping (minus Bri)

-I ran 4 miles!

-I colored my hair darker!

-Brianna was able to read the candy she got at trunk or treat last night, all by herself... it's funny to sound out that word... "butterfinger".



Cool thing that happened this week... I was praying that God would put influential people in Bri's life that she could look up to and have good role models because I know she gets upset that her Dad doesn't live close to her.

So, Wednesday night she went to bible study and she loves Mrs. Krista, her teacher. THEN, thrusday she got a card in the mail from a couple at my church who don't have any children and they adore Bri. They sent her two dollars and a halloween card, "just because". I thought that was so cool!!! And, God does answer prayers! I read something this week that said when you pray, be clear about what you want. Tell God exactly what you want, then tell him if it is his will for this to become true, or clear, or go away, etc, allow it to. By just admitting that you aren't in control of your life, your child's life, etc.... is a huge relief! But, you have to keep praying about it or you start to forget that fact and you think you can control it by yourself. And, that's not true. I'm still working on it but I definately feel better.

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

Our Experience with Covid 19

I'm writing to share our experience with Covid-19. With the reopening of the lockdown, many new cases are flooding the world. My husband is the Regional Sales Manager at Century 21 Judge Fite in Rockwall. He has been in real estate for the past seven years. He is an amazing realtor and even better manager. I am very proud of him and I stand behind him no matter what. Saturday July 5th is started feeling ill after a work out. He had recently joined Legends Fit in Rockwall and started a program where he had to lose 25lbs or 6.9% body fat in 6 weeks and he would get a free membership for the year. After 3 weeks and a very strict diet and workout, he had lost close to 20 lbs and 5.3% body fat. He started running a fever Saturday afternoon and felt very fatigued. No real respiratory symptoms and his pulse ox never dropped below 98 percent. His heart rate was double his resting heart rate. He tested on Monday morning and received word Tuesday around 5:30pm that he was pos...

Ashton's Birth Story-VBAC

I started this last pregnancy journey with the goal of finishing my second VBAC. Here's the story (So that I never forget any of my children's birth, I have documented each one's stories)... Around 4pm on Thursday August 1, 2019, I went into the hospital. I was having irregular contractions, dilated to 2 cm and 50% effaced. I was 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  Here is a photo: I am almost 6 feet tall and had gained nearly 50 lbs. Most of which I gained in the first and second trimester. I continued to workout this whole pregnancy in hopes that my body would bounce back quicker. Time will tell. So, my doctor came in around 5:30pm and said he was going to do the foley cervical dilation balloon again since that worked with Elizabeth. So, they inserted the foley balloon which is extremely painful because I have a tilted cervix which apparently hides behind my spine. He tried to do it with a tool and ended up having to do it manually with his hands.  Then, I ...
