Something about rain makes every so sleepy eh!? Such a yucky day today, but I do guess that rain is better than snow, although there is some of that mixed in with the rain.
I am still having some major cramping, very uncomfortable especially if I have to bend down at all. Which baby sitting a 6 month old, you do have to bend down lots!

Harley's eye this morning when he woke up was very swollen and kinda of "lazy" looking... almost like half his face is Asian the way its slants. (that was not intended to be racist) I plan to take him in to the doctors tomorrow after my appointment, as long as I have a baby sitter for him. Funny how that works, you can baby sit everyone else's kids but can never find a sitter for your own.

I'm on the search for a recipe right now that is meatballs in like a mushroom sauce. Been dieing to try it, just can't find a recipe. Last night on Take Home Chef, which I do not normally watch but Curtis Stone is a very good looking man. They made caramelized baby bananas, so you can bet I will be trying that tonight after dinner.

Anyhow off to finish some laundry while kids are sleeping ( well Stone is) with my non working dryer... Talk to you all soon

What a long day yesterday brought us, and I am sure today is just another one of those as well. What on earth would I do with out wader?! Yesterday Harley made his way to bed around 8ish maybe 9. Way past his bed time, but I saw this as a bit of an opportunity to sleep in. However to Harley this must have meant that getting up at 5:30am was the way of getting back at mom and dad for who knows what. Since this pregnancy has made me so exhausted Wade pulled his butt out of bed and watched Harley until about 7 when it was time for my to get up. What would I so with out him? Needless to say though Harley was whining and cranky ALL DAY LONG for me.
Bringing me to another issue, My dryer. Like every stay at home mom in this world, and I would think its for working moms too, although I do not know. Laundry is a constant thing that you will NEVER get caught up in, and with kids you usually have a load of dirty laundry produced every day at least! As babies it is worse, but as they get to a toddler stage you learn that chocolate pudding on his shirt isn't that bad for a few more hours, or if he hasn't dirtied his jammies yet, why take him out of them? Which is why you will see my kid absolutely filthy by noon before i even attempt to clean him up. Same thing with his face... WHY would I wash him face 300 times a day, if I can get away with only 30 times a day?! Anyhow, I have not had a proper working dryer since we moved here... that is now 4 months ago. So I have been washing in the washer and hanging everything to dry. I have gone through 4 dryers since we have lived here. Yesterday Wade and my friend Cory went and got yet another used dryer for me to find that this one is better than the rest, however it doesn't heat up.
Dryer repair man ... are you out there???

I am still baby sitting Cory's son, Stone (6months old), and am about ready to say thats it I quit! But we do need the extra money. So my mornings are too early for me, my nights are too late, and the nap times are non existent. For those of you having your first one, chances are you have no idea what I am talking about. Life is easy when you have only yourself to take care of. So there is a major toss up about what I am supposed to do. If I should quit until after baby is born or if I should continue exhausting myself for a measly 20 bucks a day (which by the way is only a smoking deal because it is a buddy of mine. I am now regretting.)

These here are the minor problems of the day. Major issues tend to work themselves out...LOL...

Because of all the walking and moving of furniture, the attempted spring cleaning ( I now have 3 levels to clean instead of just one) And the long days I have been in major cramping pain in the belly. I know this is all too much for me, but whattya do? Its not a pain so bad I'm worried, its a pain that makes you stop in your tracks and go WHY ON EARTH AM I STILL DOING THIS TO MYSELF!!!!

Strongly advise everyone to have only one... Not 2 children ... if your experiences with your second pregnancy are anywhere near what mine seem to be, you'll regret the entire pregnancy, of course you get a minimum of 18 years to enjoy the out come, but those 18 years are not fun either. I'm only on year 2 and half and I still shake my head and say "What was I thinking!? "

Take care!

Welcome!
In case you all haven't heard just yet... I am preggers for a second time now. For those of you who don't know, I already have a son (Harley) who just turned two in December. And he is now about to be a big brother to a little sister!!!! Yes of course we found out the gender of the baby. Although many think its crazy we did, I think its helpful when it comes to preparing for a baby. Because this is my second time something I do know for sure, is after you have a child you do not have a functioning brain for a minimum of 6 months... some times longer... almost never shorter LOL. So shopping for a baby after it is born is virtually out of the question. This is why I insist on finding out the gender. It does not matter to be if it is a boy or a girl, as long as its healthy, that is what is truly important. Anyhow, creating a blog was a wonderful idea i stole from a friend of mine who is pregnant with her first. I wrote a blog while I was prego with Harley and it was a wonderful opportunity for my to vent and complain and hear little feed back in return. LOL http://sunshinekisser.spaces.live.com/default.aspx?mkt=en-CA&partner=Live.Spaces Baby is due in August, although we're not sure what day as the docs have changed my due date way to many times. With my calculations I would say the end of July or the beginning of August. the docs have gone from july 10th to aug. 30th back to aug. 15th. So lets just say August. So there we have it. Check back periodically, because I am the kind of a person who loves to babble, I'm sure there will be some days with no blog, other days with 20 of them. I can always be reached at dawfam03@shaw.ca for anyone who has anything interesting to babble back with :) Emails are always welcome! Bye for now. Crystal
