Randomness

So spring has arrived, it's been nothing but trial after trial for '09 so far. I'm about 4.5 months pregnant now. Thank goodness the 1st trimester is over. It was far worse than my first two pregnancies combined! For awhile there, I didn't know if I'd make it through it. I did and thankfully it ended early. I'm less than 2 weeks away from finding out if my gut instinct of this baby being a boy is true or not. I can hardly contain myself. I've never been so anxious in a pregnancy before. I'm really trying to slow myself down and enjoy this one, but it's hard. I'm finding myself wanting to jump clear to the end already. Not because I'm tired of being pregnant, I'm just so anxious and excited to see this little person and how different they might be from my other two. I'm secretly hoping for green eyes like mine, not blue, which seems to be the trend in the family. We'll see, most importantly just the overall health and well-being of the baby. I keep getting asked if this is the last. Neither my husband or I have an answer for that right now. From the beginning we both secretly have been hoping for twins, odd I know, but my husband said if we go for 3 we might as well have a 4th (and better to do it in one shot). You see, we have a huge age gap between this baby and our current youngest. By the time this child is born, our youngest will be 5 mo from turning 5! Who knows. I'm looking out my front window right now and noticing a ton of little tiny red bugs crawling all over my window seal, again. What the heck are they? My husband sprayed last week and it did nothing, they're back. Annoying little things. They are so tiny you can't make out what the heck they are. They weren't there last year. I swear, sometimes I wish we lived in a rental, then half the problems we've had w/ this stupid house wouldn't be our responsibility or cost! Well, that's all I have for now. I could go on, but most of it's personal dribble that I'll save for God, 'cuz He's the only One that can do anything about it.

#3

Well, if it wasn't strange already that my 2 other sister-in-laws were already pregnant, I'm adding to the strangeness. That's right folks. #3 is on the way. This should be fun. 3 sister-in-laws all pregnant together. Each due a month after the other. I'm excited that the cousins will be the same age growing up. Anyways, that's my news. Now I'm off to eat before my nausea kicks in for the day.

Reptiles, What?!

My daughter is getting ready to turn 7. I can't believe how the time has flown. Anyway, in her lifetime up to this point, we've had a beta fish and of course 2 dogs at the present. I guess the dogs just aren't enough anymore. Everyday for the past week and a half she has continually reminded me how much she wants a lizard. No, we aren't talking toy lizards or stuffed lizards. We are talking about the real deal here. I seem to remember telling her years ago no lizards, no rodents, no spiders as pets. Dogs and fish, that's it. So last weekend while getting Barley her shots at the Zamzows pet clinic, I guess my husband said around the age of 7 she might be able to get one. Ok, where was I in this discussion? 7 years of age is too young to care full time for something like that, in my opinion. Who would this responsibility fall on, yup, me. Sorry, I'm no reptile of a person. I can do dogs and fish. I already have my hands full. I don't want the thought of a little green thing on 4 legs escaping and running around my house. I can see it now, she can't leave those things alone so she'll have it out of it's cage, it'll squirm away, and then right on it's tail would be my Barley. Not the site I want to encounter. Guess I better get quite creative, and soon.
