Breaking up is hard to due

So after all this. I went to my first appointment with my new Ob, we really liked her. We went back yesterday for my 8 week appointment and that is where we were hit with the news that she is also having a baby a month before me. So I am now in the dilemma of whether to stay with her and at the end of my pregnancy have a new doctor thrust upon me or break up with her now and find a new doctor. I like her, but the front end staff at her practice is rude and unfriendly.



*update: I called to transfer to a different practice(different docotor), when do so my old doctor asked me if I wanted to transfer to a different doctor within their practice, they then tried to pawn me off on another pregnant doctor!

It Has Arrived

Morning sickness has arrived, the one symptom I was hoping to not repeat with this pregnancy.  I thought I was maybe going to get away with it, since it started at 4 weeks with Ian. I awoke one morning recently and new I would not be so lucky. Well so far at least it seems to be interment instead of all the time like it was with Ian. I am thankful for that, chasing a toddler I don't have time to be sick all day everyday. The few times I have gotten to the point I had to get sick sick, poor Ian was scared I was dying. he would sit outside the bathroom and cry MAMA,MAMA. When I would come out he would latch on to my leg. So Wish me luck ladies to make through all this with a toddler. 

Hair, Hair, Hair

After I had Ian I decided I was going to grow my hair out long again, I have naturally very curly hair that is thick and unruly. Which doesn't normally bother. When I get pregnant it becomes so unruly and dry I can't seem to figure out what to do with it. I don't want to cut off all the hair I have grown out since having Ian.
It looks like I might have to though, my hair has become so unruly and dry in places that when I try to fix it, it has become more trouble then it is worth. I have had many different hair cuts through out the years, my motto is hair always grows back so don't be afraid to try new things. Well I have an appointment for a hair cut on Friday evening, so I need a little help on which cut I should go with.  I know you are all thinking it is your hair do what you want, if you look down these are all very similar but somewhat different. So really what I need is a fresh eyes to tell me which you think will look best on me. If you think something else will look better feel free to comment with a link for me to look at your ides. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

 

 

 

May have noticed

I have been kinda quiet over here as of recent well the first trimester exhaustion is kicking my butt. I take a nap nearly every time he goes down which is normally when I blog and comment on other blogs. Then add to the top of all I have had my body become a snot factory this week. I need a week where no one is sick and nothing big is going to happen, so basically when hell freezes over. So until I can breathe again, wake up with out my throat feeling like it is on fire. Then there is the tumble down the stairs I took last week while seeing Avatar, my body is still sore from that (the bug is still safe in sound). I can't wait till this weekend is over so the Ian's birthday celebrations are over and life will maybe go back to some semblance of normal (as normal as it can be with a 1 year old and being in first trimester). So I will be back to normal witty self soon.

A year of Ian

Today a year ago at this time I was pushing my way in to parent hood. Man what a difference a year makes. I sometimes miss the wailing new born who I could lay down somewhere and do something with out worrying what he would be getting into.


I don't have that chance any more. Today I can't turn my back with out either a shadow or with out returning to a mess of trouble(he is already trying to blame the dog).

He is so full of joy, love and just a little bit of trouble, I would not have him any other way. He is going to make an amazing big brother and friend. I amazed at how much he has changed in just a year, heck how much he changes from day to day.


Does the wow factor ever wear off Mama's(I hope not)? Becoming a parent is one of the coolest, greatest gifts ever given to me. Now that we have survived the first year, I hope that I don't screw him up too much in the coming years. To check out the highlights of Ian's First Year be sure to visit here.

Happy Birthday Ian!



Can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us as we take Ian from a tiny babe to a bouncing unstoppable boy.

Casey's Challenge

When I was pregnant with Ian, Casey got it in his head that he would start working out. After a couple of weeks of working out and asked me how much I had gained so far? I looked at him and said why does that matter, he looked at me an answered, " I have decided to lose a pound for every pound you gain". My jaw dropped and then I laughed until it hurt. I thought you go ahead and try, no way you will every complete that.  He surprised the heck out of me and did complete the task at hand. Well I got the last, as I was losing all my baby weight he was gaining back the 30lbs he lost. So while walking this afternoon, to get out of the house and help get rid of cabin fever. Casey announced that he was restarting the Casey baby weight challenge. I turned to him and said good luck.

So it has started, Casey is all about losing weight and get back in shape and I support that. I hope that this time he doesn't stop working out when the new baby is born. Even though the reason he stopped in the first place is when we moved we lost the free gym, and now we have a gym again.

Un-Goals

I don't make resolutions, they never work out. I stopped making them in Jr. High, on the NYE wear my Daddy introduced me and Lou to Champagne, I still don't Champagne but Lou loved it. Wonder if she still does (Lou do you?). Well then I tried goals and they are the same as resolutions, you still fail at them most of the time. So with all that 2010 brings, I am will be setting myself so Un-Goals. Being that if I don't meet them it isn't a big deal, but if I do it is great. So I bet by now you are you are wanting me to shut up and tell us what your Un-Goals.

Un-Goals:

• Blog on a more frequent basis 
• Make those post about substance and interacting with my reader
• Be the wife I have the potential to be
• Be the best mother I can be. 
• Spend more time enjoying life

I will elaborate more on each of theses Un-Goals in there own post, to explain why I choose the specific Un-Goals. Now what are your Un-Goals?

Love

This was us a family of three on Christmas Morning 2009. I stated that we need to take a picture of the three of us every Christmas morning. Well next Christmas there will be 4 of us, that just means more to love. I hope that all our Christmas mornings will be as calm and full of love.

2010 Brings What?

Well at the beginning of December I was unhappy, everything was wrong my life was not where I wanted it to be. Well all those feelings make sense now, I can't believe I didn't realize it earlier. I felt the same way when I was first pregnant with Ian, I couldn't stand Casey, Plano, our apartment you name it. My friend Cassy can vouch for these feelings, (dang girl why didn't you notice this time?). All those feelings made sense when that test popped up pregnant. I guess the point I am trying to get to is that 2010 brings HORMONES!

As we were getting Ian ready for bed tonight I started crying and Ian took his pacifier out and tried to give it to me. All while giving me a look like Mommy what is wrong? Casey then jumps in and tells him Mommy is going to be a little crazy for the foreseeable future. I laughed and agreed with him that Mommy was going to cry a lot more for no reason and he could keep his pacifier that it wouldn't help mommy. He laughed so hard he fell over and then came over and gave me a kiss, boy he knows how to melt his Mommy's heart.



I am going to try to not make this all pregnancy all the time but with it being the major thing going on in our world right now I can't not talk about it that wouldn't be fair to my self.



Now 2010 brings many other big milestones with it; Ian's first birthday (Jan 20), five years of being with Casey (3 years of marriage), FootFoot's fourth birthday, and many things I can't think of at this moment. Not to mention the day to day memories that will be made. So bring it on 2010, cause I am ready for it.

What to Do?

I had an amazing OB with Ian. I would totally use her again if I could, but shortly after Ian was born I got that dreaded letter. The one that says she is leaving the practice  and moving to East Texas to get married. I remember when I got that letter, crying. Who was I supposed to deliver my next baby? What did you do when your OB breaks up with you? She was an empowering doctor, she was willing to take the time to answer all my questions and she was very much about making sure I got the birth experience I wanted. I was lucky to in finding such an awesome OB, I mean I lucked into her. I picked her off the listed of approved docs shortly after Casey and I got married. So now I am drowning in a list of names to choose from, I know I could get a rec. from a friend but none of my friends live in the same area as I. Well J does but Casey is uncomfortable with that idea. So I am left basically flying blind on finding a doctor, wish me luck.  



*Edit: I will be going to the doctor on Jan 20 (yes Ian's first birthday), they will be doing an ultrasound and all the other jazz. This is the doctor I ended up choosing. More on her after my first visit.
