One thing that is both a pro and con to living in a new home is you dont have all the big trees that have lots and lots of leaves that change to a beautiful color and fall to the ground to play in! Lucky for us the Adams family has lots of big trees!!
Jeri was taking the girls to the Pumpkin patch so we decided to tag along! It was perfect place for the kids. So much for the kids to do and lots of animals to see!
I love this weather we have been having and I am not sure I am ready for winter! I know Ronnee isn’t because she refuses to wear sweatshirts, jacket, jeans, or even shoes. I didn’t know that kids got such a strong opinion about what they want to wear so early in life! Winter is going to be so so so long if she wont wear a jacket because we will be stuck inside!
HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!!!
Doctors visit went really well! Good heartbeat and the doc asked me if I was eating because I am doing awesome with my weight gain! I am stressing about gaining a ton of weight so it is nice to hear that! Those walks are paying off!! Oh and the bike riding and the occasional lifting at the gym which reminds me I need to go more often! Lets hope we get that good of a review next appointment after Thanksgiving! lol I will get my ultrasound in the next few weeks to check all the body parts. If we were finding out this is when it would happen. Then we go back to the doc on the 2nd of December!
After the doctors appointment we went to the zoo. Learned today that there are 2 zoos in Reno. We went to the one a little farther with some friends today. The kids had a lot of fun but since it is in the middle of nowhere I will remember to eat lots before I go and pack a lunch! And it was to bad the animals were all so lazy with it being so warm out! But besides that I am glad we were able to go while we have nice weather this week. Maybe we can hit up the other one next week!
it is about time that I let the news out that I am ….
I am still learning to take pics of myself in the mirror. It is quite a talent I need to go ask the high school kids for some tips! lol But it is true we are finally getting are wish to have another baby!!
I am not sure why I waited so long to put it on the blog. I didn’t even tell my sisters until I was 8 weeks and I told the rest of my family when I was 12 weeks. It was just something I felt like I needed to do after having a miscarriage last time.
I actually found out I was pregnant while I was in Az a few days before went to the Isaacson Family Reunion. Wait let me back up…. I ovulated the day I left to Az so we thought for sure the chances of me getting pregnant were slim so it was good surprise to us both. But back to the story… So I started feeling sick like I was on the toilet for a few days and knew my period was a couple days late so I decided to take a test…. And it was positive. So I took 2 more and then sent a picture to Tyler. He was like “who did you have pee on that” haha the brat! We were both so excited! But we decided to just keep a secret between the 2 of us. Which was so so so hard because I was with all my family and everyone was wondering what was wrong with me. I was so exhausted all the time. On Mickey’s wedding day I actually felt drugged and took like a 3 hour nap during all the decorating. So everyone kept asking me what was wrong and all I could say was I was just tired. One of the days Rachel straight up asked me if I was preggo and I lied! I hated keeping a secret from my mom and sisters but Ty wanted me to. So when we left El Paso and headed home it felt so nice not to have to look at them and lie. lol
This pregnancy so far has been a lot harder on me probably because I have a little toddler around so I cant rest like I did before. I have been so tired and I have had more sickness. For a while after every time I ate I had to go to the bathroom but not to puke. TMI sorry. My stomach was in a lot of pain most of the time. It was hard trying to figure out the best time to take my prenatals. It was so nice when my energy levels picked up at least in the mornings.
Mornings are my best time of day. I have lots of energy and am in a fun mood but once about 2 o clock my good mood disappears and I just want to be in bed! I have know patience and at the drop of a hat I am pissed and crying. Poor Tyler and Ronnee. Not sure why I decided to potty train when I am like this! lol It is really scary at times and I am so sorry for anyone that has be around me when I get like this. But I must say the last couple days I have yet to have a break down! So now I am hoping those days are farther between!
And I think that it is way true that you start getting a belly so much sooner then with your first kid! Seems like I am about the same size now as I was at 20 or 25 weeks. When I look back at pics it is funny how much smaller I was at this time then I am now especially at night!
We will not be finding out what we are having again! Tyler loves the surprise and it is starting to grow on me too. Ronnee doesn’t quite get what is going on but she has started kissing my belly good night and in the morning! We tell her to kiss the baby! I am hoping she will love being a big sis because I know she will be good at it!
Let’s hope that with the Holiday season coming up that March 31st will come quick so we can meet this little one!
Last night I was having a really bad headache and feeling dizzy so I went to lay in bed at 6:30 pm. About an hour later Tyler and Ronnee came into bed and Ronnee knew that I wasn't feeling very good so she put my head on her lap and played with my hair and patted my back. At one point she proceeded to kiss me on the for-head. This is a side of Ronnee that I just learned that she had. It was so sweet to have her take care of me! Nearly made me cry! She and I have our fights and our times where we need a break from each other but it was really sweet to know that she loves me and can nurture me when I need her too! Thanks baby girl I woke up headache free!
Ronnee has been so entertaining lately.
*The other night we had some friends over to watch a boxing match and there were a couple pre-fights that no one was playing attention to expect Ronnee. I looked inside and she was standing in from of the tv yelling " HIT HIM!" She loves boxing. Later that night when the fight was on that the men wanted to watch she sat with them on the couch instead of playing with the other kids and yelled at the tv. She was getting so into it. It was quite entertaining.
* Also last night we were watching the D-Backs game and someone hit a Grand Slam followed by a home run and she was cheering so loud! And then a little later I asked her if she wanted to go to bed and she said " no I watching baseball!" She stayed up watching baseball with her dad and I went to bed. Sometimes I wonder if she is my kid!
* Last night I was playing the Kinect to work out and she said it was her turn. So I turned on a song and she proceeded to dance the whole song and even tried to follow the moves. She got a few points which was pretty amazing. It was so funny watching her. We took turns for a while! Who needs another adult to play with when you got a kid that can dance!
Never a dull moment when you are Ronnee's parents!
The biggest project that I have been working on is Ronnee’s room. We painted it a cute light green(thanks jeri for your steady hand), put up a chandelier, got her a big girl bed, and the biggest of all make her a quilt!
It seems like the quilt took me forever and it was a good thing my friend was on board to make her son one to so we worked together and helped each other figure out all the problems. We weren’t following any patterns so we had plenty of issues along the way. It was kind of fun to just start from scratch and figure everything out on our own. One side of the quilt is squares and the other side is all one fabric. We quilted it together with buttons on every corner. And then we had to hand stitch around the whole outside. Over all it was a lot of work especially with 2 toddlers but they turned out so cute and I am so glad to be done with that!
Last thing we need to do is get her a new dresser and her room will be perfect!
The other project that I have been working on is a Halloween advent Calendar. Thanks to Jeri for the good idea and all the help it is almost finished. I just need to get my machine out and sew all the pockets on. I am not sure if you can tell by the pics but I had to hand stitch everything on it! Hence why it has taken me so long. And we also had to come up with all the pocket ideas and cute them out of felt (sp). Thanks again Jeri for all your help and creative thinking!
Once again not the greatest pics but I will post better ones when it is all finished and hanging on my wall!
I am not even sure where to start with this one. It has been the most challenging thing I have done since becoming a mother! The first week was such a struggle one of the days I cried for a good 45 minutes and couldn't even look at Ronnee. She was so confused. I hate when I get that way to my little girl but she is so smart and can be such a big pain in the ass! She knows when she needs to go and would hide and pee. But on that day that right after I had the melt down she went all by herself and pulled down her pants and sat on her toilet and made a poop. So I know she knows exactly what to do but just likes to mess with me! One of the days she climbed on Tyler's lap and peed on him. It was so funny to me but not to Tyler! When she needs to go to the potty she asked to be held and that is when we have to take her in the bathroom and make her go. We have tried pretty much everything when it comes to bribing her and taking things away. She doesn't care. She doesn't care if she doesn't get any candy or cookies or her dolls are gone away. She doesn't care if she has to sit in wet panties or has to clean up her pee. She cared for a couple days if I wouldn't let her wear her panties but now she doesn't mind being naked! lol Some days I am not sure what to do with her! And did I mention she can hold her pee for hours! She held it for 6.5 hours one day! And most days she pees the last time at night at 8pm and drinks about a half of a bottle of water during the night and she will hold her pee until 10 sometimes later in the morning. It cant be healthy!!!
The second week is going a lot better. She tells you when she needs to go and does the potty dance. But when you sit her on the toilet she freezes so you have to put her in the bath tub and when she starts peeing take her out and put her on her little potty chair. She is now getting to the point that she wont pee in the tub at all so we do the in and out of the tub about 3 times before she pees but she pees in the potty!!! She poops in it to we catch her in time but I hoping this next week will be even better!
I am sorry Ronnee for being a crazy mother and I really do love you even though at times I want to choke you!!
Tyler’s friends Zack and his wife Jenny were on a road trip for their 1 year Anniversary and they got to stop by and see us for a couple days! Last year we went to Minnesota for there wedding because Tyler was a Groomsman. It was so fun to see some old friends! They were having a fun time site seeing and we got to be their last stop before the 25 hour drive home! They got here Saturday night and we had some other friends over and watched boxing and then on Sunday we took a drive to Tahoe since they had never been. It was gorgeous up there as usual and we got some great pictures.
That night we went and took a pic under the Reno sign!
Monday morning they woke up bright and early and hit the road!
Thanks for stopping and visiting Jenny and Zack. Ronnee misses you and so do we!
Yes I know this is early but i am starting this week... I am making a goal to go to the gym twice a week and do some light weights! And also even though i have been pretty good at this the last few weeks... I plan on walking everyday! Oh yeah and ride my bike more, that kicks my butt! Also I need to make myself continue to eat healthy. Today I had the urge to make no bake cookies and i went with it! BAD BAD BAD!
P.S. I am potty training the brat this week and probably next week to so I will for sure get caught up on the rest of my blog. I sure miss journaling all my thoughts and weirdness!
We did a Mother/Tot swim class for the month of September. It was an adventure to say the least. She loves the water but hates to be told and made to do something. And for some reason hates to put her had above her head when she floats. She will lay on her back and belly and not really care but when you try and add something to that she screams. She also hated the day we put life jackets on hopefully something she will get used to or no riding on a boat for her! The poor teacher got yelled at plenty of times. I think she will do a lot better when she is older and can do lessons without her mother! lol I thought she might do better with Tyler but she actually did worse. It was quite entertaining because he was so embarrassed! Here are a few pics of the entertainment!
And I need to post some pics of my flowers that I grew this year! I planted a lot of bulbs and wild flowers and so I got a lot of random beautiful flowers! Even with the dogs help I still managed to have so pretty gardens only a few flowers were sacrificed to there trampling and territory marking!
Cant wait to see what comes up next year!
