Well today was a good day! After the week I had, I needed a day like today to bring me back to the world. In fact, I didn't realize how out of it I was until today when I woke up not tired and out of my fog. However, it was a shocker that my house was in shambles. I guess I did notice it during the week but I really did not feel well all this week and daily my only thought was make it until you can lay down and go to sleep.
I was up early and did grocery shopping at 7. It is an Army pay day weekend so I had to get in early otherwise, it would've been a jungle in there. Got back around 830 and the family was still in bed. WHAT?! But they soon got up and while I unpacked groceries, I fed the kids whatever was near. It is so good to have food back in the house. We were really, really low on supplies. I'm surprised we made it this week, lol! The refrigerator was in bad shape so I cleaned it out all the while making space for the new stuff. I cut up all the fruit and got it ready for the week. Something I never do on the first day! I'm so proud of myself. Got the kitchen back in order and life was feeling better already.
Didn't finish until around 11 which was much later than I wanted to leave the house but I had to go and get my eyebrows threaded and needed to run to Target to get some things on sale before it ended today. I took the kids! 8-O Is that a good surprised face? It really wasn't horrible but it was first nap time for baby girl so she was a bit irritable. Bug was just bored so he just asked alot of questions and wanted to eat all of the snacks I brought along. And I had to wait 30 min to get through the line at the mall to get my eyes done. I so wanted to leave but my brows were out of control and I didn't know when was the next time I would be able to come through. Though I love the mall, I only go about once a month and that's pushing it. But we made it and back to the car with only a slight meltdown. One errand down, one to go.
Baby girl fell asleep on the way to Target, ugh. I wanted to drop her home but I knew that it would be nonsense to go all the way there and then come back out here. So we pushed through. I had my list made out and got in and out in 30 min. Victory! She lost it on the way home but that was okay, I had gotten everything we needed for the next two weeks.
Got home, put her immediately in the bed, downloaded the newly purchased items and put them up. Then proceeded to get ready for GNO (girls night out). Showered and took a very short nap which was inundated with thoughts of sex so I guess I need some, lol. Dressed and out we went. I have to say, I was very snazzy. Visited a new restaurant called Crave, definitely a date night joint! It was delish. I can't wait to eat the leftovers. Now it's time to say goodbye...I probably won't remember my head hitting the pillow but it was definitely a good day!

Time flies!
Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I've posted. What have I been doing? LOL, alot can be said for that. Well for one, I now know why I was so tired when I wrote that last post. The day after, I found out I am PREGNANT! Yes, having another baby. One year after my 2nd one.
We were shocked! I mean really shocked. With the previous two, we were planning. I was temping, counting days to ovulation, looking at cervical mucous, etc. The whole kit and kaboodle. When I tested before, I knew the stick would turn pink just based on what my body had been telling me. This time around, I wasn't even paying attention to my body. We weren't trying. I wasn't on any BC but we were using condoms. I knew that the week after my cycle, we were good. Usually about half way through the 2nd week we would wrap things up until the next week after. It had been working for a year now so I don't know what happened. Maybe hubs had some super sperm that stayed alive for a few days or I ovulated early. Whatever, it was not what we were planning.
We're happy now, we just weren't prepared. I'm turning 3o this July and I was so excited about being able to have a big shindig and wear a fabulous dress or outfit and just have a whole weekend to celebrate the beginning of my next decade! NOPE, not gonna happen now. I mean I'm happy about it but I'm also kinda bummed. We were really going to start trying this winter only because that's what we've always done. I'm used to having spring/summer babies. I'm still bugging that I'm going to have some winter kids. And yes, I did pluralize kids because I was praying that my husband would change his mind about us having more kids (he said we were done with two) and I also was asking for 2 more (boy & girl) so I could have 2 of each. So since I was surprised about this pregnancy and his mind was changed for him, I shan't be surprised about twins! *We'll see*
Anyhoo, the story goes I was playing last Wednesday morning with the guys in our weekly football game. Not doing too bad but not at all thrilled about being out there. During the game, I'm noticing that I have a little heartburn/indigestion going on so I'm thinking of what could have caused this. I didn't have anything spicy the night before or eat too late so what could be causing this. Then I thought, shoot, that's the first symptom I had with the other two. Panic now begins to set in. I cannot be pregnant, can I? I'm counting back and then realize that my period should've been here 2 weeks ago. I'm not regular but it shouldn't have taken this long to come. I have been extremely tired and out of sorts but I was just thinking that I needed a break. I remembered that I had a dollar store test in the cabinet and decide to just test to east my mind because I just know that my period should be here at any time.
I get home and go straight to take a shower. Well run the water so I can open the box without questions from hubs just in case he's listening, lol. I sit down, breathe deep and pee. Before I can even finish peeing and put the test down to simmer, the line is PINK! You've got to be kidding me. I'm breathing fast, I'm sweating and it's not even hot, I'm shaking. What in the world is hubs going to say? I quickly jump in the shower to give myself some time to think. How did this happen? What day did I calculate wrong? Are we ready for another one? I'll definitely have to quit my job now. Are we going to stay in El Paso? 20 questions are running through my head. After about 15 min of thinking, I decide to finally wash and get out. No use in running, it's gotta be tackled.
I get dressed and then walk out. Everyone is up and eating and I pass hubs the test. I have my hand closed and he gives me the fist bump. I say nope, open up. He questions it, lol, as if he's never seen one before. I reassure him, it's as real as they come! He flounders on the floor for a minute and then for the next 45 min we try to grasp the big picture. I'm not even thinking about work. Needless to say, we are in a fog all day!
So a week later, it has all sunk in. I'm feeling great! No issues. A little nausea if I'm not eating on time and I lose consciousness every night when my head hits the pillow. We've told our families and I guess the 3rd pregnancy is just not as exciting, lol. I mean they were happy but there were not a lot of questions this time around. We will have to purchase a vehicle. The 4runner will not hold 3 car seats across. I'm almost tempted to give up the mini-van fight but hubs is against it and I'll take a Tahoe (if we can get it for a good price!). Don't know where that cash will come from but we don't want to incur a car note because we haven't had one in almost 2 years. You can get used to that freedom really quickly. All in all, I'm about to be the mother of a small tribe, lol. I've always wanted to be a wife and mom but I really have to let go of my day job. I cannot do all of these jobs well and at 100% because it's just too much to ask of one person. My desire is to stay at home at least until the kids all get into school. I still want to finish my Master's before my 7 year time limit is up. Choices, choices, choices...more to come.
