5:00 AM WAKE UP CALL?

So every morning usually in my third trimester I seem to wake around the SAME time every morning unable to go back to sleep for about an hour..I just lay.. think... and try to get comfortable. Always failing of course. Here's a quick recap of the beginning of my morning-

5 AM: I wake lying there going over what my bad dream could have meant and if I should read into it.

5:30 AM I am slowly dosing off when I hear Ava gag twice! I jumped up already a little frantic from the bad dream prior that night. Wake Don to go check on her while I rush to the rest room for hmmm..probley the 4th time that night!
He comes back claiming I must had been dreaming and she is completely fine.

6:00 AM Don had just left for work. Ava starts crying loudly in her crib over the monitor I went into her room and she is sitting up shaking and vomiting all over her blanky and shirt had a spot from the 5AM gagging I heard..nice going daddy didn't think to turn on the lights and check for throw-up..
I cleaned her up along with her bed and layed her in mine. Here's where I messed up she was kinda dosing off kinda crying still and I thought I'll warm her some milk and she'll get a good rest after..

5/10 minutes later and a sleeping baby with an empty milk cup..I was just about asleep PRO-JECTILE vomit all over baby, mommy, mommy's hair, mommy's bed, oh yea and my pillow. Lovely.

My poor princess she was shaking and not sure what was going on this was the first time she had ever been sick and she's 14months old! I called Don quickly informing him before finishing his 45 commute to work he would need to come back to take her to the doctor with me. While on the phone she got sick again...
then I took her into the shower with me and 3more times she vomited but calmly layed on my chest as pitiful and sick as ever..I could tell she just wanted to sleep so badly.She was brave though ..really most kids are very dramatic and cry when getting sick I know I'm that way! She just got a lil shaky and cuddled after. I sang to her while wrapping her up and preparing for our trip to the ER. She ended up getting a catheter, and IV to rehydrate and by noon we were home..She was so happy at the end of her visit to have a Popsicle! She smiled and cooed and laughed all the time while eating it! I love her so much and as hard as it is for emotional me to see her even feeling sick I am so thankful for the healthy baby girl God blessed me with! It really reminds you going into the children's hospital how blessed we are to have children who don't have health issues, or anything of that nature. I also prayed today for the people who do live daily with those issues and I tip my hat to you because I cannot even bare the thought. I don't truly know how I would make it without God in my life and I hope all of you seek him to get through to tomorrow.
Well that's my post for today tomorrow will be a happier one!
And update on Ava she is doing much better..still on clear liquids and bland foods Just a virus-but seeming to be ok! Thank The LORD :)

(She looks so tired!)

Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to me :)

I cannot believe that I am a mother to 2! Time really does fly...
My baby Ava and Hubby baught me a very special gift this mother's day, it's a new ditigal camera(RED)! I know, I know most MD gifts are roses...cake..maybe a fancy dinner. But I really needed one and had shamlessly hinted for months before my delivery I need my new camera!(due to my pink one breaking)

Massive Grocery trip!

Have you ever just opened your cubberd or fridge and said there is nothing to eat in this house...you stand there wondering how you got this far with out the usual stock of kitchen goodies. Well I am so tired and un-motivated I got there..actually I think we went past that point. I made sure we had milk and we were set haha..But needless to say it was time for the long trip to the grocery I had avoided so well...

It took two over flowing carts and one little helper to make it..Just so you know if you glance behind Ava you see one of our full carts..I continued to stack items even on top of there haha!






Did I mention I am a BARGAIN HUNTER so it takes me hours finding the best deals and sales..you can imagine I never can just run in for 1 item!


I have to give some credit to my sweetie for pushing the heavier cart :)
And a big high five to my baby girl who was soooo patient even though it was like 2 hours past her dinner time she just had a blast dropping cans in the cart and just being mommys helper ! (I wont gloat anymore to the moms who can't even take thier kids to the grocery lol..)

BEHIND BY 3 WEEKS!

Ok so I decided I should take the time to actually caculate HOW many weeks I really am. If you read the last post it was a "30 ish" statment that got me thinking. So I am 33 weeks and now will be counting by weeks not months. We are gettin there slowly but surely! AH! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I am stressed..but oh so excited ..and tired, yet excited! haha keep my achy body in your prayers I am so ready to not be pregnant again for a while..a good while I think a 6-10 year break sounds nice..never attempt 2 in 1 year it's just madness. lol Ill blog something more interesting soon-I hope have a great weekend!

Ohio Jobs+ 30 weeks!

So it's official we are searching for Donny to find a job "back home".

We found out the best news though about this desicion is that we will most likely become firt time home buyers :)

{ In the case of him finding a job. }

I'm leavin it all in God's hands and hoping he places us where we're supposed to be. If that's Ohio so be it haha. I give him this I do miss the beautiful seasons..

So about a month n a half to go for Baby MAX..my shower is up & coming on the 2nd along with maternity pictures yikes! I wish I was tan!

Heres a pic of what's goin on in there-I should be ABBBOUT 30 ISH WEEKS..

Today is the day!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " Then they remembered his words. -- Luke 24:1-8 NIV
