Big News

Hey all! We have big news to share with you all. Jory and I are Pregnant. We are due on May 27 2009. That is 3 days before Jory's Birthday. That is what we wanted. Jory has always said that he would like a baby around his birthday. It is right before Memorial Day and we always go to the lake then. This baby is going to grow up on the lake! Christian did. He loves the water. Anyways, that makes us 7 1/2 weeks along. I am starting to feel sick, and nauseous all the time. I was really sick with Christian and I remember how horrible it was and I am hoping that this baby will be different. So far it is not. I was debating on telling people when I am only 7 weeks along, but it is hard to keep it a secret. I am still not telling a whole lot of people at church, but if someone asks I will tell them.
We switched OB doctors with this baby. I feel really comfortable at this office. My good friend Melody works for them, doing Sonograms, so she gets to be the one who scans me. That is exciting for me. She is really good at her job. I am seeing a Mid-wife, named Jill. She is really great. She is not a traditional mid-wife, so she believes in using medicine. That is a good thing. I thought that I had a high tolerance for pain, but I guess I don't!!!! I did get and epidural (sp) with Christian and it made my labor so much easier. I will go ahead and plan on getting one with this one too! We will see.
I will keep you all posted on how I am feeling and such. I hope that your lives are going good!
So I guess that is our big news! Just thought that you all would like to know!

It is FIXED!!!


Dirty Dirty Carpet...at least it is not RED!!!!

My carpet is FIXED!!!! I had a guy come out today and look at my carpet and fix it! I owe a big thanks to Chris because he is the one who told me this guys name! He did a great job. I can tell now that me carpets need to be desperately cleaned. Once they are cleaned you won't even be able to tell that I had it patched! YEA!!!! No more red carpet! Just bright white compared to the older stuff! See how dirty my carpet is???

Christian today was so funny...For the last two days he has not taken a nap. We had bible study on Tuesday and he fell asleep on the way home and woke up when we got home and I tried for an hour to get him to fall back asleep and it was just not working. Yesterday I went and worked out early and I was going to put him down for a early nap, because I had a doctors appointment and Grandma and Grandpa Swim were going to watch him for me at 1pm at Scott's house. Well he did not want to fall asleep at 10:30 and it was an uphill battle from there, so I just gave up! We ate lunch and went over to Scott's. Well today I was determined to have him take a nap! Two days without one was starting to take a toll on me! So at 11 after the carpet guy left, I could tell he was tried so I said lets go up stairs and take a nap. He said " Mommy's room nap?" I said "ummm, well can we take a nap in your room?" He said "No Mommy" "Mommy room nap" I said "Okay we need to change your diaper and then we can go into my room and take a nap." So I changed his diaper and then said, "get into your bed" he said " Mommy's room" I thought I could out smart the kid, I was wrong! So instead of having a fight with him and chancing him not taking a nap I said "what the heck!" So he ran into my room and climbed up on Jorys side and pulled the covers up on him and started blinking heavy! It was great! He had a two hour nap without a fight! It was great! I guess it was because my room is dark and cool, there are very few toys in it and so it is not overstimulating! I might have to have him start taking naps in there! I just don't want him to sleep in there at night time! He does really good at bed time, because his room is dark and cool then too! So anywho that is my silly boy! I can't believe that he said "Mommy No, Mommy's room!" That was too funny! I just love that little boy!

I guess that is all I have for now

Carpet, Red Nail Polish and The Kid!

Okay so here is the story....
I was bored last night and so I decided to paint my nails. I keep my nail polish up on the shelf in the front closet so it is easy access for me to cut and file them short. I don't like my nails long and so I do them once a week or so. Well this time I decided that I would paint my nails Cha Cha Cherry. It is a dark pinkish reddish color. It was late and I was tired so I left my polish sitting next to the chair I was sitting in, and decided I would pick it up in the morning and put it away! Boy was I wrong in doing that! Jory is always on me for not putting it away. Well he was right! Christian decided to come downstairs this morning while I was in the shower. He normally stays in my room and watches PBS and plays with toys that I have in there, but this morning he got the idea he wanted to go downstairs. So I get out of the shower and call his name, he does not answer...I said "OH NO!!!!" "He is in the cabinet again and I have food all over my floor again!" So I went down stairs and smelled right away nail polish! I said "NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!" I turned on the light and saw it. Bright reddish pinkish nail polish all over my floor! I could not get mad at Christian, because It was not his fault, IT WAS MINE!!!!! AHHHHH!!!! So I called my mom and said "Mom how do you get red nail polish off of carpet!" She told me to use nail polish remover and then to Google it. So I did. It told me to use oxy clean, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, brake fluid and all sorts of other chemicals! Like I was going to use brake fluid on my carpet! I did however try just about everything else. I worked on getting the stain out for over two hours and it was not working! I think that it made it worse. Oh well... I think that I might have someone come out and give me a quote to have the section cut out and have my extra carpet laid down. We will see how much that costs! Anyways here are some pictures of my beautiful carpet! So the moral of the story is DON'T LEAVE NAIL POLISH SITTING OUT WITH A TWO YEAR OLD RUNNING AROUND!
The Culprit

The mess.... and Oxy Clean

The Mess again right in the middle of my floor!
