UPDATE....

Hello Blogging world! I have been MIA for a bit and I am just now getting back on. Things have been crazy in my life the past few months but everything has work out according to God's plan for us!
 Piper is now 5 months and she is a hoot! She is so different from Elijah but she is so funny and she loves to smile and laugh. Elijah is going to go to big school next year! He is entering Kindergarten!I am so happy for him! He loves to learn and he is so smart I know he will love school! Thomas is no longer a police officer. A decision we both came to when things were about to get worse then what we could handle. Things were very rough and I am not sure how we got threw it but he is now in the oil field and he loves it! I have not seen him this happy in a very long time! He is gone 8 days at a time and home for 4 days off. I know this is crazy schedule and funny enough it works for us. I like missing him and wanting him, because when he is home it a little piece honeymoon every time (: OK not every time but you get what I am saying. Since God provided us with a better paying job, I am able to stay home with the kids again and I couldn't be happier!
 Summer is approaching fast and I am ready to hit the pool with Bestie and the kids! She is doing great by the way! Married life has treated her very well. She is so busy now it is crazy. We use to be with each other all the time but now we have to share each other a little more! We have changed and grown together in the new lives God has given us.
  All in ALL life is great! With a few bumps and turn around but without those we wouldn't appreciate the perfect moments we are lucky enough to have! That is it for now! I will be working on updating my page and get back into what I love most, Sharing our life with you!

Reba....

I have had so much on my mind that I want to blog about, from my salvation to the baby and I will get to those but right now I want to blog about this lady!

Photobucket



Yep REBA!!!!! I was blessed enough to go and see her this weekend and let me tell you I couldn’t stop smiling or dancing! I was in the third row center stage!

My bestie was right there next to me!

I never thought I would see her in concert but for my birthday bestie and very much to my surprise got me tickets! I was so excited I cried and almost chocked on my food! I think that was the best reaction I have ever had and it was so sad that bestie didn’t record me like she usually does when she gives me birthday gifts. She still gets a kick out of my reaction from last year when she gave my Tyler Perry tickets and she still replays it and laughs.

It was by the far one of the best concerts I have ever been too! Reba was my very first tape I ever had I got it for Christmas when I was about ten I want to say. I ran that tape nonstop, dancing in my room and singing every song by memory, being at the concert took back in my room singing with a hair brush.
The best part was Piper was just rocking along with me!! It was an amazing night and I will never forget it!!!

Thank you My Amanda Panda for one of the best gifts!!!!
You made my dream come true! I love you more!!!!

Understanding...

Yesterday I was on yahoo news and I read that this trainer was becoming obese so he could understand what it was like to lose weight. I guess he has always been fit or whatever and so he thinks if he gets fat then he could understand how hard losing weight is.
This really bothers me because I don’t understand why people are always trying to understand overweight people. Why are overweight people so interesting to the world? Like when they do a show about a skinny person in a fat suit. They want to know what it is like to be fat for a day. So they can say they understand how overweight people feel. Understand my foot!!
Hell yea it is hard to lose weight if it wasn’t then we would all be skinny and fit and do you think people become overweight on purpose? I am going with NO! I didn’t plan on being overweight, not something you plan it just something that happens over the years.
What this trainer doesn’t realize that it not about losing the weight it about saying no to the food. People out there have an addiction to food and if they could stop eating they would. That is not the case with all people but most of them.
I let life get away from me and I forget to eat and then I eat whatever is around me and sometimes it not healthy. I don’t sit around and eat all day and gorge myself, before I became pregnant I would go to the gym, walk and do Zumba. Right now I am enjoying being pregnant and I am eating pretty much what I want and guess what I haven’t gained any weight!! I have every plan to get back in the grove of things and going back to the gym and eating better after she is born.
The point of this blog is, how about trying to get to know the person based on the person not because they are overweight and you want to know why they are or you want to prove to yourself you could lose the weight or whatever. Hopefully this trainer will get his understanding he is looking for and it will make him a better trainer.

Makes you think....

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together. So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some s.........ilence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms. The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child! 'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.' The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same! If you agree, please SHARE. Together we can help save precious lives! "Love says I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person. Abortion says I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself..

Going Fast...

This pregnancy has gone by faster than I thought it would, I found out pretty early so I thought I would be pregnant forever! Yeah I was wrong!!!
Monday I will be 28 weeks and I will be entering my third trimester according to my What to Expect book. It just seems like yesterday hubby and I were talking about how we have plenty of time and now we are down to 3 months! To be honest with you I am freaking out!! I haven’t even bought her a single thing; I will pick up something at the store I think oh I have time to get her something. .. Now we are almost here and I still haven’t bought her anything! By this time with Elijah I had so many outfits and toys for him!
I am feeling more pregnant now, my belly is getting bigger and it is getting hard to breathe because Ms. Piper loves my ribs! She moves a lot at night and she moves with ever Thomas talks to her. She loves to stretch out and do a little dance on my bladder. I can’t wait to see what she looks like, Elijah had dark hair like me and big lips like Thomas so I can’t help but wonder if she is going to look like Elijah or completely different! I see a curly haired little girl but other than that I have no idea. We go in on Tuesday for another ultrasound and I am excited to see her again and this time Thomas gets to go with me!!
I went and bought some new maternity clothes and they are super cute, I just wish it was this easy to find cute things when I am not pregnant LoL!
We have so much to do before she gets here. We have to move things around in the house and deep clean it since we have a black lab who just loves to leave her hair EVERYWHERE!! Tomorrow my mother and bestie and I are going to go register at Babies R US and maybe target! I am excited to get that done with my two favorite ladies!!! We are going to start planning the baby shower and all that fun stuff! We are having a Halloween themed one! I cannot wait for our baby shower, Elijah’s was so much fun and I am looking forward to celebrating with all our family and friends. We are incredibility blessed and I couldn’t thank God enough for all the wonderful people he has put in our life and I can’t wait till Piper gets to meet all of them!!

Sick...

Headache? Check
Sore Throat? Check
Stuffy/Runny Nose? Check

Yep I am sick!! I hate being sick and pregnant because it a double hit! You can’t really take anything and you already tired from being pregnant so let’s add everything on top of that you just have no energy! I have been in bed all day with a box of Lotion tissues and Tylenol! I am praying that it doesn’t turn into strep because (knock on wood) I haven’t gotten it since I found out I was pregnant. I hope this clears up fast because I have a great weekend planned!
On an update, I passed my three hour glucose test!!!!

Elijah went to the fair today with my parents and that was great because I was able to get some rest and he got to have fun! Thank you mom and dad for being awesome!
Now I am going to take more cold medicine (it is safe) and watch Bridesmaids!
Goodnight…

Pregnancy Update…

I went to the Dr. the other day and everything is looking much better. My blood pressure is under control with my medication and my weight is good. However I had to do the glucose test. You know the really gross drink and you have to sit for a hr., yep that one! Well my Dr. called and I FAILED that test!! So what did I do today?? I had to do another test but this time I had to wait for three hours! I sat there in this small office while people came and went. I had my blood drawn every hr. I am praying that I pass this test because if I don’t, it means I have diabetes. I am trying not to freak out about this but I am!!
I should find out on Monday or Tuesday! I know a few women who had diabetes while they were pregnant and they said you just have to watch what you eat. It would make sense if I did because I still get horrible headaches and blurred vision even with my blood pressure controlled.
I go back to the high risk Dr. on September 26th and I can’t wait to see my baby girl again! This time my hubby gets to go with me!!
So please pray for me that my test comes back better this time!!
