She's on the move!

This is a busy little girl in my tummy! Holy shit! It all started at the end of last week when Chuck was seeing how big she's gotten in there when he got this focused look on his face, which of course freaked me out. He was feeling her 'swish' around in there! So cool!

The last few days I've felt her moving a lot more! Cool, but freaky at the same time. I feel her the most when I'm sitting in the car driving to work or at night when I'm laying in bed trying to be tired! I swear, the other night she just up and kicked three times in a row too. There is no other explanation of what I could have felt! I know, I know, the kicking is jut beginning! I've put it off for 22 weeks, so that isn't so bad! I've felt her, just not on a regular basis like now!

Photos of Christmas In January

The following are finally pictures from last weekend when we met my family in Dubuque. We all had a great time. It was so nice seeing Julia become buddies with Meghan! Cameron was pretty much with Hayley the whole time! He's a chunk, so I don't know how she carried him around as much as she did that weekend!

*********************************************************************************

This photo finds Meghan and Julia patiently waiting to open gifts. They had to pass some time by eating some animal crackers to make that happen. They were pretty much instant friends! It was pretty darn cute to see!

Miss Julia doing her posing thing! I love this kid. She may not have come from me, but good lord does she love the camera like Jacquie

Here we have the boy child. Looking oh so thrilled at being in the pool. It took Chuck a good couple of hours of dipping him in the water to the point where he was able to stick him in the way shallow end. We were able to pull the pacifier before the picture. He looks so happy! He's looking a little tipsy!

Level 2 Ultra Sound

So we are back from the ultra sound. The tech and a doctor thought it is definitely a girl! Duh! She pretty much proved that to everyone when the tech had me go potty and move around bunch to try and get her to move over so she could take some measurements of her face and something else! She never did roll over. The Doctor said eveyrthing looked good. What a relief!

This has been a crazy ass week. I don't think I ever got it posted what we woke up Monday morning at 4:15 am. Another lovely waterfall coming out of the light in the bathroom! Good times, good times! I was hoping to put some pictures up here but I'm not sure if they on the computer yet or not. I guess this time a pipe burst in the attic and soaked everything on our side of the building all the way down to the basement/parking garage! At least this time they pulled the carpet out of the hallway. I wish they would do the same to our apartment, but with only a month left of living here, I'm not going to hold my breath. Really? I just want to get the hell out of this place. What are the odds of two floods in one leasing year? Good grief.

I've still got to get the pictures of the kids posted too. I'm off today. Yay. I've got a bunch of crap to do around here. Although my sciatica is the worst it's been yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get some of the crap done that needs to done around here!

Still no photos to add

We went and got a new computer system (minus the monitor) this weekend, and the husband has been working the closing shift lately so the pics have yet to get to where I need them to be! He opens today and closes tomorrow so I'm sure he'll be up late this evening and has it on his list of things to do!!

I'm dying to post pictures of the kids in the swimming suits. Cameron is still the Michelin baby. Roly poly oly! Julia was actually posing for me in the water, which was pretty funny. The kids got to meet their new cousins (although older) this when we met for my family Christmas! Julia and Meghan buddied up in a matter of time! It was really cute!

Hopefully there will be pictures to be posted later!!

21 weeks!

I didn't realize how long it's been since I've been on here! I'm actually feeling pretty good right now. I'm eating a little more, which is nice. I think I'm actually starting to get hungry every 3 hour instead of 4 hours! I'm not eating as much cereal as before so at least I'm getting a little variation!

I have a couple more things to type about on here, but I'm out of time right now and will type them out when I also have the pictures downloaded to add also!

Frustrated

You know what frustrates me the most right now? When people blame me being sad or upset on "hormones". When really? If they think about it? Chances are I would still be pissed off or upset if whatever it was had happened BEFORE I had gotten pregnant. I think part of it also is that I have no friggin' filter on my mouth whatsoever. So when those certain people say something to me and I react honestly, it confuses them. ESPECIALLY if my initial reaction is to cry. "It's just Jacquie's hormones." Big fat hairy fuck you comes to mind. If people would stop and think about WHY my reaction was to cry or be pissed maybe they'd find something to MY side? Hm? Ya know what I am pregnant. I DO have emotions, fuck, even when I'm not knocked up I'm emotional. My hormones are just a weak ass excuse as to why I'm pissed off to begin with. God help the next person I find out has blamed shit on my hormones. I'm sure those people who haven't been knocked up in many years are blaming my hormones. For those of you that are? Kiss my ass! LOL.

That felt good. Thanks for letting me vent. Ahh. The funny thing is? Is that if people who have had a pregnancy recently or those that really remember being pregnant would also remember that this is the ONE part of my pregnancy (the 2nd trimester) where my hormones don't really come into play!! So my emotional bursts? Yup they were just real, or probably just from some huge disappointment! I'm really getting sick of being disappointed too. That's a post for another day!

Whatever.

I went with a template from the blogger thing. That sucks. It was really cute with polka dots and stuff. How annoying.

Things are the same around here for the most part. I'm back to work now after being off the week between Christmas and New Years. Yay. I was ready.

Chuck caught a cold last week. I had avoided it until this morning. I woke up all stuffy. I'm sure I was snoring up a storm last night. Time to bust out the vaporizer thingy. The Vick's Vapo Rub too. Talk about childhood memories!

I've always liked the name Emma. That's what I thought our daughters name would be, should we have one. HA! Now it's between two other names as well. I have no idea. It's probably going to depend on what she looks like when she finally arrives! The other names are J names too. Chuck and Cameron are C's, Julia and I are J's. So I got it stuck in my head that she needs to have a J name too. Ugh. I'm sure it will end up being Emma in the end! It couldn't have been a boy? Come on. Oh no. It's a girl. The boys name there was no question on that one. Cheese and crackers!

Okay I think I need a nap again! Or maybe a snack. Yeah, I'm thinking a snack now.

Happy New Year to everyone!

crap

So I'm trying to change my template on here to a more girlie one and now all the words have disappeared from previous posts. I'm checking to see if this post has the words. Damn.
