Come on get Crafty... (song inspired by House)






Since being on "modified" bedrest I haven't really been into doing anything except making myself miserable and depressed. All I really wanted was to work as much as I could until at least the 8th month of my pregnancy, run or walk on my treadmill everyday to stay fit and have at least "some what" of a good looking pregnant body like all of these other girls on facebook do. I get so jealous when I see a 20 weeks picture and I'm like dude, that's what I looked like in high school! Not so much! I just had a lot of expectations since all of my other pregnancies were "awesomely perfect". I mean yeah the nautia comes here and there and the headaches once in awhile were fine for me! Unlike my really good friend who keeps "loosing it" and she's 16 weeks along. Poor thang!!!
So this morning I put all my blues away and wanted to "GET CRAFTY". Enough of sitting around all day, enough letting Sierra play on the computer and run the house for the whole day. I looked at a website and thought THIS would be perfect for Sierra. She likes the outdoors, she likes to paint and heaven knows I hate letting her play with paint. She's a disaster! But I trusted her and my gosh she had the best time! I didn't have a paintbrush so I took an old sponge (thinking about it, I have NO clue what is on that sponge) and some old acrylic paint and just let her go at it and paint some rocks. One was not enough so I went outside and got two more. We have about a million more to play with so on another rainy day we may do 50 and have a very colorful patio decor! ;) My grandmother also suggested awhile back that it would be fun to make an easter bunny so I found some glue sticks, a paper plate, cotton balls and stickers. She had a blast doing that too.
Now that it is done, I think I lost all my mojo for the day and have been again letting Sierra run the house and do whatever she wants. It was definitely fun while it lasted! :)

My view on Glee...

This is probably the MOST random blog I will ever write and the ONLY blog I will ever write about a television show. I am hardly EVER a critic of shows because most of the time I LOVE mostly anything I watch. I limit myself to what I watch. Days, House, American Idol and now being on bed rest the Joan and Melissa Rivers show. I know I'm totally lame with that one. There was one instint where I thought I would watch the show Glee. It was after the superbowl and I've heard so much hype about it and how people love the show. That's great! So I'm assuming it's about a bunch of highschoolers in the Glee club singing all kinds of fancy songs from this generation (am I correct?) Well, why are they singing about getting drunk and needing you now by Lady Antebellum? I must admit I really love that song but singing about them being drunk is a bit beyond my taste for a show especially in a highschool. Granted I bet probably 70% of kids in school the days drink, but to promote it in a television show is just to much for me. Therefore I haven't watched Glee again and probably never will. I know that is completley random but it's been on my mind and I want to know what you think. Are you ok with it?

And I Had A Crazy Day.... (about pregnancy) details included....

So yesterday I was so excited! I didn't feel sick, I had lots of energy life was grand. Sierra spent the night without a diaper and no accidents from her. I told her that if she didn't have any accidents I would get her a treat and we would just have a happy day! So we did some errands. Went to Menards for some bins and Twizzlers because that was Sierra's treat, Petsmart, and Walmart. At the point of Walmart I was getting a bit restless and I was overcome w/ frustration because Sierra was tired and I was too. Got home did the usual w/ Jake for lunch ate pizza yadayada... I did my afternoon "bathroom break" and realized crap I'm spotting again... I'd been spotting before but nothing like this. So.... of course at the time I pee it's like 5:00. Of course they close at 5 and I'm not going to get in touch w/ them. So I basically freak out all night. This morning I woke up hoping life would be great and I wouldn't have to worry about anymore of that junk. Well, I started spotting a LOT more and the color NOOOO pregnant woman ever wants to see. So, 8:10 I call my dr. and she gets me in at 9. I LOVE HER! Went in and still to early to get a doppler heartbeat so she insists I get another ultrasound asap. So I go get that turns out I have a subchorionic hemorrhage. It's just a clot between the placenta and uterine wall. The ultrasound tech said she had the same thing and it went completley fine. BUT STILLLL.... COME ON! My last pregnancy and I have to deal with this...??? So now I am on modified bedrest for 3 weeks, no exercise, lifting, working... I don't know how I'm going to get through the next 3 weeks but hopefully writing and venting out my issues of pregnancy will help pass the time. I did however get to see our beautiful baby and it has grown to a whole centimeter and a half now and has a heartrate of 167. I am so proud of my baby and it's willingness to hold on. I understand that our family can have issues sometimes but hello, I am one of the greatest snugglers in the world and babies dig snuggles! ;) Anyways, that is just an update on my hurrendos day... Ps... If this has happend to anyone else please feel free to share w/ me. I am interested to see how this is going to turn out...
