I've been in a bit of a blogging slump lately. I have no energy to do anything besides laying on the couch. I am so ready for this baby to arrive.
Last week was the week from hell. Besides two er visits for both Gianna and I, car trouble, two would be burglars canvassing the house and pretending to sell cleaning supplies, a police report and a teething daughter Im
Happy to report that this week is at least better than last
We've done a lot of relaxing at home and I've been keeping my fingers crossed that baby boy makes his arrival soon. I have reached the point where it hurts so bad when he moves and I've had cramping and lower pelvic pressure for days. Lots of Braxton hicks that get me excited only to wear off after awhile. Oh well I know he will come when he is ready
I should hopefully be back to regular blogging soon. Sorry for the random boring post. I'm going back to lay on the couch

TGIF(well almost)
Thank god it's (almost) Friday. I am ready for this week to be over! I was really looking forward to these last few days with Gianna before baby boy is born but that wasn't in the plans for this week
Gianna was sick all week long which I chalked up to teething. We had just gotten off antibiotics for a viral infection and I didn't think she could be sick again. But my happy, smiley baby was a pure nightmare this week. An absolute terror. All she did was walk around the house aimlessly screaming and crying. I was losing my patience and becoming very frustrated. Last night after her screaming for a few hours I just put her in her crib and walked away. I couldn't take anymore. She screamed and screamed in her crib so after about a half hour and went and got her. She finally fell asleep on my lap and it was then I noticed the red bumps all over her hand. She had had a rash the day before but nothing major and when I bathed her yesterday it was nowhere near as prominent as it was now. I took a pic and sent it to my mom who is a nurse. She said it looked like chicken pox and told me to go to the er. I freaked. I myself have never had chicken pox and I know it can cause problems to women who are pregnant
So off to the er we went. The dr came in and confirmed she had strep throat and the rash was from the strep. At first he said I was to only give her Tylenol and told me to wait for dosage instructions. After waiting for two hours a nurse came in with a prescription for amoxicillin. By this point it was 11 at night and no pharmacies were open. Luckily they gave me a dose to give to Gianna that night and she slept until 8 this morning.Thank god
Though can anyone please explain to me why a child who is sick and hast slept in two days runs around like the energizer bunny during the day. It took me
A huge cup of coffee to get off the couch today
So today is pj day for Gianna and I. I'm looking forward to watching Cinderella with my lovebug and then curling up to read Jenny Mccarthys new book after she goes to bed.
I will also try to not kill my dogs today. Have I mentioned they ate all of Gianna's sippy cups this week. Off the counter where they were drying. Yup all 10 sippy cups. I'm ready to sell them. They have been so destructive lately and are too much to handle. But I try and tell myself they were my first babies and that I'd miss them if I got rid of them.
Anyway sorry for the random post. I'm exhausted and ready for the weekend

Punkin Picking
Every Tuesday morning I attend a Military wives group at my church. They offer childcare for the kids and I get two hours to visit with friends and relax. We also pick a book to read and spend the first hour discussing the book we are on and talking about military life. I love my Tuesday mornings
After I picked Gianna up from childcare I noticed the church had set up their annual pumpkin patch. I took our bags to the car and let Gianna walk around and pick out some pumpkins. She loved it!
Nothing like pumpkin picking in 80 degree weather!
Next weekend I'm taking Gianna to the big pumpkin patch where we they also have a hayride, petting zoo and corn maze. I'm
Very excited for that! I love fall
