One Down, One more to go

Arianna is over the flu. Yay!
And I am just a bit stuffy but the tamiflu I took kept me from getting worse.
James is still a couple days away from being better, after all this one lasted a week.
Arianna will go back to school for the morning tomorrow (we have our shots tomorrow at 1140) and tuesday.
No school this week wed, pro d days thurs and friday. James should be better by next week ;)
I am just sore.
I find doing too much house stuff makes my back just ache.
So, I am hiring Rose, our old nanny to help out with the bathroom cleaning and floors. She is coming on wednesday.
I can handle most of it, but the bending is too much!
I am doing physio for my tilted pelvis problem (I literally lean to the right) and also prenatal massage.
I was trying to go 2 weeks between massages but I do not think I can lol.
Our coverage is not that great, but for my comfort I need to suck it up and pay hehe.

We are looking for a new camera. Good thing my birthday is a couple weeks away lol. Just in time!!
I want something decent, that takes good action shots. Our last camera was terrible.
I want a higher quality one with good zoom. so we will see what we can find.

I bought some newborn diapers yesterday...awww it is all becoming SO real :)
I have my list of things we still need and am slowly getting ready.

I painted another picture for the baby room...looks cute :) But, I cant show you, no camera lol....
I will post nursery pics when we get a new camera and the room is done ;)

well I am on day 4 of brandon working evenings...just me and the kids. they are making hats with our crafts stuff. I put together some drawers for them with everything they need. it works out nice :)

Have a good week!

Drs Visit

Well, he says its the H1N1, which we figured. we have all the symptoms.
Arianna is on day 6, still fevers, cough, sore throat.
No vomitting, that was just once.
James day 3, fevers, cough, sore throat and DOUBLE ear infection. he is on antibiotics.
Arianna is fighting it great on her own. her color is good, no breathing issues.
the longer she fights it, the more immune she will be.
Me, I started tamiflu so I dont get more then just this head cold. I feel it getting worse, but no fevers yet. I did vomit this morning. took the first dose of tamiflu, lets hope it helps!!

So, here we are few weeks into flu season and we get it!!
dr said to make sure to get the shot. we are scheduled to get it monday. hopefully all is well by then!!!
brandon somehow has stayed healthy lol...
he was off 2 days thank goodness, so I could rest.
but back to work today. its going to be a long weekend.
the kids are out of school until at least tuesday.

just thought i would give an update.


oh yes, my camera has broken. there will be no pictures :( until we get a new one. so sad.

The Flu has Set in

We will not know if it is the H1N1 unless we get swabbed.
But, whatever this is, it has taken Arianna out of school for the week with fevers. I can control them with medication, but I am getting worried because its day 4 with them.
I am reading on the healthbc website on when to take them in...and the lasting fever may be a concern.
James got it yesterday.
both kids have only thrown up once each
the fevers, cough and sore throat are the worst.
I am watching for more signs of respiratory distress before I freak out lol.
they will both be home until next week for sure.
And of course, I have the cold part of it. my head is so congested. no fever yet. Just feel sick.
I pray the fever stays away from me.
This really sucks!
None of us have the flu shot, I booked us in to see my doctor on monday.
none of this waiting hours in a line up with sick people lol.
But, we seem to get sick A LOT
and even if this is not the H1N1 flu season is long from over, I need to feel more protected.
especially with this baby :)
If Ariannas fever lasts the night, I will take her in to be seen tommorow...just to make sure she does not get to pneumonia.

Baby's Arrival

Will be January 8th 2010 :)
I am liking this date, as Arianna was born on the 8th as well! (August)
This is if all goes well....
and I am nervous it won't as my BP has been an issue.
Although, today it was perfect 120/75!!
BUT I have protein in my urine now....
so I see him again in 2 weeks, will get more blood work and to see if this becomes dangerous for the pregnancy.
I am really praying not to have a premature baby. I am so scared of that.
I will have another ultrasound November 27th.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that baby is able to stay put until January!!!!
Otherwise, baby is healthy :)

Unlike Arianna, who is on day 3 of the flu...she has fevers, cough and sore throat now. Vomitting is over. Poor things
I am scared to get this as well.
We have not been vaccinated. I was waiting for the pregnancy safe one.
And now it seems they are running low everywhere anyways!!
My OB said its best to stay away from the clinics anyways as all the sick people will be there.
So I am not sure what to do......:s

30 weeks

For Grandpa H

The kids and the cows :) They had a great time visiting the cows and giving them hay! Time to make a trip to your farm!

Halloween Time

We made a trip to the pumpkin patch with my mom one weekend. It was beautiful! It was the first weekend it was open, so many to choose from!
Then, with Arianna's class we went to a different one. Good times!

James' Party

We had a halloween party at the house, with 10 kids. It went great. The kids painted pumpkins, made candy necklaces, finger puppets, decorated cookies, hit a pinata and played games. But boy was it hard work!
I made the cake, my best work if I do say so lol...but I am no baker, and do not really enjoy it ;)

Coming Fast

I was adjusting my baby ticker as I was told the baby will be coming the week of Jan 3rd. I will get my booked c-section date next visit I think, but wow, if he or she comes on the third that means ten weeks to go! Ahhhh!
Good thing the kids room is done!!

You can see the 360 view at that link....


We are getting the carpets cleaned on saturday, then we can work on getting the baby room all set up :D
I think I need that to feel more prepared!!

James is 5

Wow. This one has been hard, as he is no longer little...
he is a big, school boy.
My baby.
We had a family gathering for thanksgiving to celebrate James' birthday on sunday. He is havinghis kids party next weekend. We are doing a halloween party. Costumes and everything.
Should be fun.
He is having school friends. He has just known them not even a couple months...but a good way to get to know them better.
James is still into his hot wheels cars....and lego. So that is what he got for his big day. He is also really excited he got some money from the grandma's, so he can go pick some stuff out himself.

We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend. It had just opened. We took a hay ride down. The kids had a blast picking their pumpkins. And, wow were some of the ones in the field HUGE. Guess we had a nice summer.

It has been cool here lately. The rain has come just today after many days of sun.
I think fall has begun :(

Baby is still doing well. A big mover and shaker all the time.
I am getting scared how fast time is going. I have less then 12 weeks. I will know when the c-section will be done next dr. appt. But, should be anytime around Jan 3rd.
The kids room is done! I just painted the clouds yesterday.
They are ready to move back in to new wood floors, sky lights and painted walls. It looks awesome,
We just need a few pieces of furniture to be delivered.
Then its time to get the baby room ready and set up, so I don't feel so unready!

I have some pictures on the camera to upload.
I am cooking turkey today (had a small one) and Brandon missed out on it...well the good stuffing at least. :)

I am taking James to practice ice skating with his uncle today. And I have to say after 5 lessons, is is getting so good! I was so proud last night on how fast he is going.
Of course, still many falls....but is a tough cookies.

Thats all from here....
