Boston

I've never ran a marathon, infact I don't run at all.  But I am just in shock still at what happened in Boston.  Boston is so close to us, and part of our New England family, so it's hit really close to home.  I'm really tired of having to explain these horrific acts to Emma.  First the Newtown tragedies, and now this.  It's hard to explain to her.  And she has a ton of questions.  Sometimes I have a hard time answering all of her questions. I don't want to shelter her and think that this world is completely fine, and that there are no bad people in the world.  I'm just hoping and praying that this madness in our country stops.  But for now, we are praying for everyone that was affected by this horrible tragedy. 

On another note.  I am feeling SOOOO much better!  I can't even tell you.  The meds i'm on are like a miracle.  As long as I take them when i'm suppose to, i'm good to go.  Other than being exhausted all the time, it's all good right now.  I'm hoping that this naseau will pass soon so that I can stop taking them completely. 

Emma is on school vacation this week.  The weather was beautiful today so she and Brian spent a lot of time outdoors today.  While I slept.  haha  Tomorrow Brian and I are both off so we are planning on taking her to Pirates Cove for some mini golf, and probably lunch somewhere too.  Hopefully the weather will be as nice tomorrow as it was today =) 

My parents are in Florida for the next 2 weeks.  They just left yesterday, and i'm already sick of seeing my mothers facebook posts and getting her texts about how nice it is there, and blah blah blah!  LOL  I know, we were just there in December, but i'm still jealous that they are there and i'm not. HA! =)

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Wednesday!! =)

I'm still here =)

Oh yes, i'm still here.  And I haven't blogged in a while.  Reason for this?  I have been sick sick sick.  The morning sickness, afternoon sickness and night sickness has set in.  I finally broke down today and called my doctor and they have put my on an anti-nausea med.  I'm praying that this works.  I even had to miss 2 days of work this week because well, I just couldn't get out of bed.  I'm really hoping that this will pass soon!

Other than that not much else has been going on around here.  Emma tested out in her gymnastics class the other day.  She is staying in the same level that she is currently in.  She was a little disappointed, but I told her it's just going to make her that much better! =)

We haven't done much of anything lately.  Emma is on school vacation next week and i'm hoping we will be able to do a day trip somewhere.  If the weather would cooperate it would be nice to go to the ocean for an afternoon.  But we'll have to see seeing as though the weather forecast is calling for 4 inches of snow tonight.  Seriously?  It's April 11th.  The white stuff can leave anytime now =)

Unfortunately that is about all I have for now.  Hopefully i'll get back to blogging regularly very soon!! =)

Happy Easter!

In my last post I said I would start blogging more...well I have totally lacked there.  We've been super busy lately, and I'm remembering what being pregnant is like.  LOL  Last week I was pretty sick.  Not just in the morning either.  Pretty much all day.  Emma was the biggest help and sweetheart and always asking me how I was feeling and if she could do anything for me.  She really is the sweetest little girl =)  But, I am starting to feel a lot better.  If I could just get over being tired ALL the time.  Anyway.  Let's back up to several days ago.

Thursday Emma woke up really congested.  She was at my mother in laws house since Brian and I were both working.  She got up at 3:30 am because she didn't feel well.  We kept her home from school, and she basically just lounged around all day.  Just before I left for work on Thursday she fell asleep.  I get to work and about 4:45 pm Brian called me, and I could instantly tell something was wrong just from the sound of his voice.  He said he woke Emma up and she couldn't take a breath and she was really lathergic.  Thankfully my brother in law who is a paramedic happened to be right there and he came over and they rushed her to the ER.  I got to the hospital the same time as them, and let me tell you she looked so pathetic.  Not herself at all.  I was getting her registered and noticed a pretty big wait.  Well the nurse came out and happened to be one of my next door neighbors from growing up, and she brought us in the room immediately...no wait for us!  After doing some tests and seeing the doctor they believe since she was so congested that she had a mucus build up and it caused an airway obstruction.  Pretty scary.  After a while of being there she started to act just like herself again =)

She stayed home from school on Friday, and she is doing much better now.  Thank God.

Saturday we got up pretty early.  It was my nieces 10th Birthday =)  I cannot believe she is 10 years old already!  So that brings me to, what in the world do you get a 10 year old girl for a gift??  haha  I had the hardest time.  And of course waited until the very last minute...that morning.  We ended up getting her an amazon gift card for her Kindle and then 2 books.  Remember the Babysitters Club series from about 20 years ago?  That's what I got her for books!  Hope she loves them as much as I did!

Saturday evening we went out to dinner with my brother in laws, his wife, and their 2 kids.  We have a fairly new restaurant in town called The Family Dog.  It's pretty cool.  Each table has some sort of retro game on it.  Ours had Jenga on it.  Emma and her cousin had a blast playing it while waiting for our meal!

Brian and I stayed up wayyyy too late on Saturday night.  We were trying to prepare for the "Easter Bunny".  And Sunday morning bright and early shortly after 7am, Emma woke up and was ready to find eggs!  I do have lots of Easter pictures, but they are at home and i'm at work.  Darn!

She got a cute shrit from our friends in the mail, and she sported some super awesome Bunny ears too!

I cooked a HUGE meal Sunday for lunch.  Apperantly I was playing the pregancy card and couldn't decide between doing a Ham or a Turkey for lunch.  So why not do both!  LOL 

We had my parents down for lunch, and when I asked my mother to open the oven to baste the turkey, she couldn't believe I cooked both a turkey and a ham! lol   We had lots of good stuff to go with it all too.  My mom baked the best Whoopie Pie cake ever for desert! 

By late Sunday afternoon I was completely exhausted.  Brian and my mom were amazing and they cleaned up after lunch and I layed on the couch and almost fell asleep a few times. 

I hope you all had a great Easter as well =)

Why I have been MIA

So I think I have a *pretty* good reason as to why I have been MIA here on my blog.  

 

 Our Family is growing!  We are expecting baby #2 this November =)  We are super excited, and I can't even begin to tell you Emma's excitement!  I just know she is going to be the sweetest and most helpful big sister!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying for a healthy pregnancy.  I've mentioned it on here before that my pregnancy with Emma didn't go quite as planned and I ended up having an emergency c-section at 7 months.  So far things are good.  I did end up at the doctors this morning for some cramping I was experiencing, but they did an ultrasound and everything is fine! =)  I have been experiencing some morning sickness, which I am sure hoping will pass soon. 

So this is why I haven't been blogging lately.  I've been super duper tired, nausea's, and all that good stuff that comes along with being pregnant =)
