update on me

Hi everyone!!!
I just want to let you know how I have been.
Pregnancy:
Well it seems as if I won't make it some days. I am utterly exhausted to the point of not knowing if I can even lift my legs to walk. I was nauseous, but it comes and goes depending on my sleep patterns. I am so curious to hear the heartbeat and see the baby on an ultrasound. I am only 6 1/2 weeks so I am expecting the nausea back any day now. I feel FAT too. All you 2, 3, and 4th time moms will know what I am talking about here. I am on a website and they call it the "fluffy" belly.
Home life:
Well I am not balancing work and home very well. I am too tired on my days off to do anything, so laundry and dishes have been piling up. the house is a disaster all the time. I don't know what I'd do if my realtor was to call me tomorrow with a showing. UGH!! I am cleaning all day tomorrow.
The kids miss their mom and I miss doing stuff with them. I used to do activities with them and for the last month or so the activity has been laying there while they watch a movie.
John is bummed because he can't go camping as often as he wants, well never, but he is trying his hardest at taking care of the kids the nights that I work. We have not been on a date since Twilight was in the theaters. How sad is that?
I hope all of this hard work will pay off because right now it's not worth it to me, OH WELL!!
Work:
With my job, it only helps a little we are currently paying A LOT in daycare/preschool so hopefully I am going to get on a different schedule soon.
Work is different every day I go. Some days it's just like being back in high school with back talking and rude behavior for no reason. Other days it is great and I have a lot of fun. I had a horrible weekend last week and hope this week, my last week of training, will be better.

Hope everyone is well, Love you all!!!

Katie's birthday

Well My littlest girl turned 3 March 30th. We had 2 fun parties for her. We had a dinner with the grandparents and Christine and Mark. It was a lot of fun just doing a smaller party for once. It was a lot more intimate. She got some shoes, earrings, and makeup from grandma and Grandpa, a game from Lizzie, and princess vanity stuff from Christine and Mark. She was so excited with every gift that she'd jump up and scream, "YAY!!!" and then give hugs to whoever gave it to her. Also, before we opened presents we had her favorite dinner, tacos, and during the prayer Katie was saying her own prayer. So after the "real" prayer was said we gave Katie the floor. Here's what she said:
"Heavenly father, thank you for the food, I hope Grandpa brought me lots of presents, Amen." I thought that was so cute.
Then that Saturday we had a Pirate adventure at a local Pirate Island Pizza. The girls went there for Lizzie's birthday and that's what Katie wanted for her birthday. So we invited 13 of her little friends to come. 11 showed up and we had a blast. The pirate ship that we sat next to had special effects and spit out smoke and it looked like the cannons were firing. At one point I was about to walk in front of them and Paige yells, "NO MOMMY, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET KILLED!!!" Hahahaha, they're so cute. The party was a hit and I was super glad it was all over....till next year.

Paige's Birthday

So I know it's been a while but my little girl turned 5 in February. We had so much fun with our cousin's. We had a family party for our week of Feb. Birthday's . We did a Super Sleuth party for Paige and Harvey. They had so much fun trying to figure out the "mystery". I had fun putting it together. Paige got some nice things for her birthday like a cleaning kit and a tea cup from Aunt Bekah (THANK YOU), a cute little doll from Abby (I am having a brain fart right now as to her name), and her little dog named turquoise from grandma. She had a blast and I am sad that she's growing up so fast, but it's also so much fun to watch.

So here's how it happened

You know when you get a plan all worked out and things are going great? Well that's how it happened. I got a job!!! I start actual work tomorrow and I have been in orientation, CPR class, and just general running around this week. I was so excited that I was back at work. I decided to work for a year before starting to try for our FINAL child. Well that's when it happened. I was feeling SO nauseated and tired on Monday I decided to take a test, and sure enough there was 2 lines (after 2 or 3 negative ones, too early). I am happy for this baby, but a little disappointed it's not a year from now. But IT IS our final child and I am going to try to enjoy ALL aspects of it and I hope you do too.

Merry Christmas to Us!!!!
