Throwing Up... not my favorite.

By -
If we’ve met you probably know that I have absolutely zero tolerance for throw up. I am not one of those people that has a weak stomach and throws up too, I just get… well angry. There is something about throwing up, especially other people throwing up that ticks me off. I wish I could put my finger on what it is, because clearly this isn’t my best quality. I wont watch movies with throwing up (the 6th sense about killed me), I don’t like to go places where people throw up, and when people are sick I am not the nice person that brings them juice and a cool wash cloth, I am the person that asks them to vomit quietly and demands they clean up after themselves before leaving the bathroom. So as you can imagine sick kids… well this is a nightmare for me. I was thinking the other night, around 1am, that we had been so lucky, in Michael’s 16 months we had had very few throw up incidents… then around 4:30am he woke up screaming. I went in and checked on him and he was fine, no throw up, just scared or so I thought. But he wouldn’t go back to sleep for long stretches after that, and I thought I heard him throw up, but because I had been lying in bed counting my chickens long before they hatched I thought I was dreaming… and then I went in to get him this morning, and let’s just say I wasn’t dreaming. Yes not my best mothering moment or couple of hours. The throw up continued throughout the day, there were puddles throughout the house, and I had to change my clothes (because I was the human throw up shield) several times. I didn’t scream, didn’t get mad, and didn’t demand that he mop up the vomit, so I would say I am growing but let me just tell you I am crossing my fingers and toes that there is no throwing up around here for a bit. 

In the midst of the vomiting we watched a lot of Super Why (remember the previous post) and took more than one bath. At one point I stripped him down and dropped him in the sink to hose him off, and well we stayed a bit. I added some bubbles, toys, and of course Super Why. He was happy as a clam, no really, ti was one of the best parts of his day.  

See loving it. 

 Super Why, a Christmas tree, and duckies, this was a good day, minus the vomiting.
 Cant tear himself away from "Why!"
 Poor guy!

Merry Christmas!

We are planning on having a very exciting Christmas at our house this year. We are super excited to announce (to all three people that read this that have already been told) that we are expecting another baby! Yay, the due date is December 22nd, so it is possible that we will actually have a very exciting Christmas, though in all honesty I am hoping for something more around the 16th than 25th.  We had an ultrasound today, and a few things. First off, I think this kid is going to give his/her older brother a run for his money. The ultrasound tech told us this was the most active baby she had ever seen, my response was pretty much, well you should have seen Michael 2 years ago. The baby is healthy, but... crazy. She had such a hard time taking measurements with all the flipping, flailing, and somersaulting. Pretty sure this kid is going to have to be so crazy to keep up with Mikey, but pretty sure that 2 years from now I am going to be exhausted. Even though it is a little b...

Baby Zach is Here!

Baby Zach is here! Zachary Henry December 16, 2013 8:41am 6lbs 14oz 20.5 inches Sweet guy, he seems so tiny compared to Michael, and so so tiny compared to how big Michael is now. I think he looks a little bit like Michael, especially his mouth. He has less hair and his eyelashes are lighter, but he is still adorable. I know he has the newborn grey eyes for now, but they look lighter than the pictures of Michael at the same age. I am curious to see what he ends up looking like in a few weeks! The three boys. I can't believe we have two boys! We have to have one token labor picture. And as there is only one this is the one that gets posted. More on the labor later, but let's just say I wasn't loving life at this moment, waiting for the doctor to arrive was the longest half hour of my life, but we made it so yay!  So these are out of order, but this is Zach right after he was born. He was very quiet. He cried initially, but after a minute he calme...

7 pounds

By Ashley -
I don't usually discuss weight on my blog, but I need to have a little discussion about it today. Let me preface by saying I am NOT pregnant, now that I have cleared that up, I need to gain 7 pounds... I do, 7 pounds, that's the goal. Here's the thing, I am not entirely sure how to go about doing that. I don't lead a totally unhealthy lifestyle but unlike many people I don't particularly enjoy exercise. I am a busy person, well I dont know that busy is the right word but I spend a good portion of my time chasing, lifting, spinning, or carrying a 19 month old around. I am never going to go for a run or go to the gym, might help my heart but aint gonna happen (sad that I spent so much time learning about health) I do walk with Mikey in the stroller (weather permitting) for about a mile each day at a brisk (ish) pace, and I do try and eat relatively healthy, but I will be the first to admit that two crunchy tacos are not a problem for me. I don't shy away from swee...
