Being a kid...

This weekend was my bf's birthday.
We went to the Dallas Aquarium with Bri and enjoyed spending the day together with the monkeys, sloths, fish, penguins, etc.
Bri had alot of fun and Rob enjoyed it as well.

I will post pictures as soon as I remember to bring my camera too work!

Last night we had a little family dinner at Rob's Dad's house and we were talking about how men never grow up. Or, I was talking about it and no-one seemed to agree with me, but I look at my Dad, who is 62 and still gets excited about buying new trucks, motorcycles, boats, etc. Okay, he may have a slight case of the bipolar spending tendencies.
Anyways, I think it's funny how girls seem to "mature" faster than boys.
Case in point, I am the one who worries about bills, braces, doctor's appts, cleaning, hygiene.... the list could go on and on. When Bri is with her Dad, does he worry about any of that?
If he does, he never expresses it to me.
Maybe it's just that men don't talk about it like women do.
I don't know.
It's a love/hate relationship with me.
I love that men don't worry about things like that because it makes me enjoy the smaller things in life that aren't as "important" in my book.
I tend to look at things as goals that I must achieve above all else...death, hurricanes, sickness... it doesn't matter, it must get done.
But, men look at things like, today I'm going to do this... then go to sleep. Enough said.
It's so funny to me.
My daughter is more like me in that she sets goals and must accomplish them to feel satisfied. She can be a little OCD about things like cleaning, etc... but, in the end, she gets it completed that day.
Men, on the other hand, will complete it eventually, on their time.

Something to ponder.

That's all for now

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 ...
