What a way to start a morning...

This morning, I decided to take the train to work because I saw they added some early morning trains to the schedule.
So, I pull into the train station at 5:45am (with eight minutes to spare before departure). I was very pleased with myself, had showered, eaten breakfast, stopped at gas station to buy a pack of gum and a monster drink).
At first, I thought it was strange that no one was in the parking lot but it was only 5 am and most people sleep in on Saturdays.
So, I waited for the train to pull into the station. My departure time came and went and I was still sitting in the parking lot.
Well, guess the train doesn't run early. So, I rechecked the schedule on my phone and noticed the early morning train departures were only during holidays.
Ok, well, I'll just drive.
So, I get onto the first freeway and about 5 miles into my drive there is a wreck that has completely blocked the east bound traffic. No problem, I will bypass it with another highway.
So, I get on the 2nd highway only to notice the next exit is 3 miles down.
I thought I would take this highway across to a parallel highway and then sneak my way around to work.
The 3rd highway I got onto and headed eastbound was shut down due to construction and I had to get on the 4th highway which took me in the opposite direction of my destination.
So, I hopped on the toll road and drove another 10 minutes back to the original highway that I was trying to divert from in the first place.
Needless to say, after 5 highway changes I made it successfully to work and was not late!!!!

What a nice way to start your morning.
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 ...
