Life

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since July! 

That is pretty lame of me...haha

I don't really want to write a huge long catch up post,

so I'm not going to! 

Sorry,

if that is what you want!

I just don't have the energy to think about it.

My brain feels dead....probably from not getting enough sleep.

That new little baby of mine,

likes to wake me up to eat TOOOO much!

Speaking of I guess I haven't introduced him....here is William Thomas Mitchell

He's my sweet little man. 

 We call him old man baby elf,

because that is what he looks like! haha

He is....my love.

I really love him to death,

I'm quite obsessed with him to be honest.

I look at him and just see a bundle of love and cuteness!

But he makes me brain dead....I mean for reals!

My husband got upset at me the other week,

because I just couldn't seem to get things together.

He's used to me being so on top of things,

 I'm just not on my A game right now.

I'm trying harder though,

and accomplishing more than I was....so he's not upset with me anymore...haha

Oh the joys of life!

It's such a blessing to have a baby,

but I do miss sleeping....like a lot!

And being able to get everything done that I want to get done.

Baby William will grow up soon enough and I will be sleeping good again....I know this.

Meanwhile I'm really trying to enjoy life,

 even the hardness of it.

Beach Time

Have I told you my sister Morgan is living with me?

Well she is!

It's so nice to have her here with me,

especially since I've been having all my pregnancy problems!

She's been such a big help with my kids,

I couldn't be more happy to have so much help!

She is wonderful!

Speaking of help....

 Morgan helped me take the kids to the beach a few days ago.

It was sooo fun, 

and relaxing!

I always forget how relaxing the beach is.

A  big thanks to Morgan having a military ID we get to go to Camp Pendleton's beach,

which is so NOT busy at all.

Which is also wonderful!

I was looking at pics of last year's beach trip and this year's. 

They all look so much older now!

How times flies and the kids just grow up so fast!

Looks and see!

Pregnancy update

I have been completely MIA lately!

I think it's because I feel like every post I would post would be about being pregnant or pregnancy related.

Who wants to hear about that all the time??

Not me! lol

I feel like this pregnancy has completely consumed my life.

So bare with me I'm almost done.

I can't believe I only have roughly 8 weeks left.

Hopefully my body can hold out until then.

I have been experiencing preterm labor symptoms off and on for the past couple months.

It scared me to death the first day,

I eventually ended up at the hospital

because the contractions wouldn't stop!

I was an emotional wreck that day,

it was horrible I can't even tell you!

After being in the hospital for a few hours,

I finally got the shot that makes the contractions stop.

Since then I'll have bad days and good days.

The bad days I can feel the contractions threatening to come,

Lots of pressure and aching come down in my low belly with contractions here and there.

Those days I take it easy and drink a herbal tea my sister's midwife told me to drink which relaxes the uterus and stops contractions.

Last week was a bad week,

everyday I felt my body tensing up and the preterm labor pain/symptoms begin.

This week has been a good week,  

not one day have I felt anything abnormal!

Yay for good weeks.

So fingers crossed everything will be fine until I'm full term!

The fog of Morning Sickness....

If you didn't know I am pregnant!

I'm currently 4 months along, 

and due August 19th.

I have been miserable with nausea and horrible headaches which never seem to leave.

I do have to say I am feeling better....finally.

I feel like I'm 75-80% better on some days,

other days I'm not nearly feeling well at all.

When I'm in the fog of morning sickness I can barely keep my house to a decent level of clean.

In fact it's not clean at all.

Mostly I wait to do this dishes until there are NO clean dishes left....which forces me to clean.

My house is mostly a disaster all the time...it's pretty horrible!

Now I'm feeling better I can't handle this dirty house ANY LONGER!

I feel like I'm spring cleaning.

I'm de-cluttering and deep cleaning everything.

I have to say it feels sooooo GOOD to get my house clean.

When I'm sick I don't pay attention to anything.

Now I'm paying for it lol.

From my carpet to my walls...I have to clean everything.  

The things my kids do when I'm so sick and tired to care what they are doing....

it's pretty gross lol.  

I now just need to clean my carpets,

which I'm hoping to do within the next week.

Then to just keep on top of things from here are out.

Fingers crossed....the headaches and nausea leave completely soon.
