One year ago today...

It was one year ago today that I got a positive on a HPT (home pregnancy test) and about fell out!  I remember I took it at night and I was expecting it to be negative (because we weren't supposed to be trying in the first place) and I got up and leaned over to look at it and as dark as it could be there were TWO LINES!!!  I opened the bathroom door and told Kent and he turned WHITE!!  LOL!!  We both just kind of stared at each other for about 30 minutes or so.  We finally called both of our parents.  It was a happy and scary moment.  We had already experienced two miscarriages, so it was hard to be positive at first.  But as yall can already guess...it worked out just fine!!!

Today we fed Jon Kent cereal with a spoon and some apples for the first time.  It was quite a mess!  He had it all over his face, his hands, in his hair.  It was everywhere!  He even got some up in his nose.  We took lots of pictures on digital and film.  I'm going to try it again tomorrow and see how he does.  I think he did fairly well with it all today.  He seemed to really like the apples.  The first bite of it really surprised him.  But once he got a good taste of it he was set to go for some more.  He didn't eat the whole jar though...but I guess that was because he had already had some cereal before that.  Anyways, it was quite an experience!!

Jon Kent and I had a busy, busy day today.  We went to the post office, the bank, Wal-Mart, and Winn-Dixie.  I think we were out of the house for about 2 and half hours.  Kent was working on something for work, so I wanted to get JK out of the house so he could get all his work done.  JK was very good while we were out.  Usually he gets mad because he has to sit in his car seat for so long.  But he only got fussy at the very end.  Which if it were me, I would have gotten a little mad too.  Now, we are home and he is asleep in his swing.  It was a good busy day!!

We are going over to my parent's tonight after we eat.  Kent and I both need to tan.  Plus, Kent needs some help from my daddy with his work project thingy.  So we still have a good bit to do today.  Well, I think I will get going and get some more things done while JK is sleeping.  Yall have a good day!!!

Oh how I feel loved...hehehee!

Woohoo!!!  NINE comments!!  That's so great!!!  LOL!  I'm glad to see that my daddy, momma, and husband aren't the only ones who read.  Thanks for stopping by!!!

It is HOT outside!!  Whew!  In the mid 70s here.  And that can only mean one thing...STORMS!!  Yup they are on their way.  The weatherman said that there are even possibilities of tornados.  I enjoy thunderstorms, always have.  So, I'm kind of looking forward to the storms this evening!!  Crazy I know!  I used to want to be a storm chaser.  Like the ones who get up in the airplanes and drop down into the eye of a hurricane.  I still think that would be a neat job to have.  But I am a mommy now...no big risk taking for me anytime soon!

We are going to Florida for Spring Break!!!  Woooohoooo!!!  I am soooo looking forward to it.  We are leaving on Saturday and coming back Tuesday.  We are taking Jon Kent too!  I will be sure to take lots and lots of pictures!!  Kent, myself, my mommy, daddy, and Jon Kent are all going.  My brother was going to try and get off of work to go, but it doesn't look like that is going to work out.  I wish he could go with us though.  I think we all would have had a great time together.  Maybe next time...  There is sooo much to pack though.  I swear it's going to be like we are moving just to pack up things for the baby!!  I don't look forward to that part AT ALL!

Let's see...what else has been happening...  Not much around here.  I took some more pictures of Jon Kent today.  Which you can already see...LOL.  Umm, I guess that is just about it.  So yall have a great Sunday!!!  Talk with yall later!!

I'm bored and I have some more pictures...LOL

Jon Kent is asleep so I took some pictures of him with him awake and asleep.  Yall enjoy.  And for crying out loud...LEAVE ME A COMMENT.  I don't know if people are visiting my journal or if it's just my daddy clicking to make my visit thingy go up...either way...let me know you stopped by!!

Thanks goodness for Baby Einstein!!!

Jon Kent is in his swing watching Baby Einstein.  Which is the first break I have gotten today.  He is being a momma's boy again today.  Which is still fine with me, but there is just some times where I need some me time.  Thirty minutes will do just fine.  Anyway, we didn't have a good night's sleep last night either.  I think it was because he couldn't poopie.  But he has mastered that skill since last night....twice.  PPPPPPPUUUUUUU!!!!  I'm talking put on the gas masks because it ain't smellin' good over here!!!  Anyway, I have taken some pictures of us today.  They turned out fairly well too.  I was pretty proud to say the least!!  Anyway, yall enjoy!!

OH!  And Congrats to Dana.  Who is pregnant with a healthy little belly bean!!  I am sooo happy for you.  You deserve it!!!

Somebody please take the chocolate away from me!!

Take it away, take it AWAY!!!  I swear I tell myself to have willpower and then WHAM I am licking chocolate off my fingers!!  Why is that???  I know I am trying to lose weight and keep it off.  Because goodness knows bathing suits are NOT forgiving.  UGH!!!  I oughta slap the husband for bringing that mess in the house to begin with!  But I can't, I love 'em too much.   *sigh*  What to do, what to do.... 

 ::::picks a piece of Reese's Cup out of my teeth::::

Today has been one heck of a day!  Jon Kent was good, but I couldn't get out of his sight for anything!!  If he couldn't see me, then he would cry and cry.  I would come back into the room he was in and he would look at me and be fine.  He has these kind of days every now and again.  They are the most tiring days too!  Oh well.  I guess it just means he can't live without me.  I better enjoy it while I can because once his teenage hormones kick it...I'll be kicked to the curb.  *sigh* 

Speaking of Jon Kent, he is over at his Granny's house right now.  I am supposed to be working out, but Kent called and told me he would be a little late because he had to take a co-worker to go pick up his car.  He is going to swing by the house and pick me up a little after 2pm or so.  I really need to hit that treadmill pretty hard because I have eaten my body weight in chocolate today!!!  *sigh*

I sure am sighing a lot today.  Wonder why??  Oh well.  The dryer is calling my name.  Yall be good and have a great Thursday!!!

My Deepest Sympathy

An author of a journal that I read almost daily has lost her father today.  From what I have read, he was a wonderful and loving man.  Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.

My prayers are with you Sherry and your family as you go through this time of sadness and change in your life.  I hope that you are surrounded by friends and family who can love on you, care and support you during this time in your life.  I am so sorry for your loss!

Oh my ear!

My poor little ear.  I finally gave in and called the doctor first thing this morning.  Last night my ear was killing me and I knew I couldn't take another day of it.  So, I called this morning and here is the conversation between myself and the receptionist.

Receptionist:  "Doctor H's office.  How may I help you?"

Me:  "I have an ear ache and the whole right side of my face is throbbing."

Receptionist:  "What's your name?"

Me:  "Emily O."

Receptionist:  "One moment, please."

::::::::::::Music, Music, Music, Music, Music, Music, Music, Music:::::::::::

Receptionist:  "Can you be here *tomorrow* at 2:15pm?"

Me:  :::speechless:::  "Ummm is there anyway to get in sooner??"

Receptionist:  "Hold please."

::::::Music, Music, Music, Music, Music, Music::::::

Receptionist:  "What's your name again??"

Me:  :::thinks why does it matter:::  "Emily O."

Receptionist:  "Hold please."  ::before she could totally put me on hold I hear, "Emily"...:::

::::::Music, Music, Music, Music, Music, Music::::::

Receptionist:  "Can you come in now?  And you will just be worked in."

Me:  "That's fine, thank you."

I'm telling you...if that nurse that the receptionist talked to didn't know me I honestly believe I wouldn't have been worked in to begin with! 

Well, after getting Jon Kent some where to stay while I go to the doctor's office I head up there.  I brought something to read thinking I would in there for awhile.  But thankfully, I only was in there for about 10 minutes and they called me back.  The nurse told me that I had gotten there just in time.  *Woohoo*  Anyway, the doctor comes in and checks my ear and sure enough in his words, "your ear canal is as red as it can be".  "You probably have a slight infection in your canal and behind your ear drum."  *Sigh*  So that is just wonderful.  He gives me 3 medicines to take.  Two antibiotics and some pain medicine to help me get some rest because I haven't been able to sleep all that great because of the pain.  Anyway, I have to take one antibiotic 3 times a day in pill form and then the other antibiotic is some ear drops which I take 10 drops in my ear once a day.  *Whew*  So now I am hopefully on the road to recovery.  I'll let yall know how it goes!!
