Too old

I think I'm too old to have a kid...spent most of the day with Tyler and he wore me out...

We went shopping to run some errands for grandma...and the lugging him in and out of the car and answering his million and one questions about where were going, what were doing, where is the farm at (mind you we were not going to a farm), and when could we look at toys was enough for me...

He is adorable and he is smarter than most adults...he helped picked out hanging baskets for grandma...we picked a dark and light purple mixed one and were also to get a smaller one...so they had impatiences in a light purple or petunias that were purple or white that would of went well with the bigger one...well Tyler had to have the bright fushia impatience cause grandma would like pink...

After shopping it was time to play...his picnic table and gas grill were cleaned and he right away had to start cooking...he is finally getting the hang of driving his tractor...and we convinced him to try his new bike...he had fun and then went in and wanted pap to get him tea and probably would of fell asleep if his mother let him instead of saying it was time to go home...hopefully he napped when he got home...

It was a nice day to spend it with him but it kicked my butt...I feel way to old to be running after little ones...and with the way this one has been squirming inside of me I'm pretty sure it will be a mover and shaker when its out and about

Moving all around

Didn't write yesterday...there was nothing really new to report and all I did was work, watched Tangled, and Liz and I played drs trying to read Brit's MRI's.  We probably did just as good as the quack dr she had been seeing...but fingers crossed her new dr has a brain and what she believes is wrong makes sense...

Dad's MRI came back negative so the cancer hasn't spread and his treatments are gonna start on May 9th...he'll be staying down in Aspinwall while getting his treatments and he maybe allowed to come home for the weekends but we'd have to lug his oxygen machine back and forth so really don't think that's gonna be happening...Tyler will not be happy that his pap pap is not around...

Had my dr appt today...the rugrat did not want to stay still to get its heartbeat heard...as soon as she found the heartbeat...it bolted and probably took a good 2 mins for it to stay still long enough for her to get a reading which was were it was suppose to be...

Well that should of been my warning cause it hasn't settled down all day today...it felt like a pinball going back and forth between bumpers...it took a brief 5 min nap at work then was back at it...the dr warned me wait till it gets stronger...well at this rate is gonna shoot out my belly button lol...

So the countdown begins I should hopefully find out what this sucker is on May 27th so seriously I need a boys name...comment, email, text, facebook me...what ever u prefer...need ideas...pronto! Kthxbai

Broken people

So I realized that I am not sure that I have one good friend or family member that is not broken...and by broken I mean physically broken...mentally I think everyone is broken lol

But seriously lets list it out:
Dad-Cancer
Mom-Arthritis
Chelle-who knows what is wrong with her
Theresa-what isn't broken on her
Brit-Brain
Uncle Dave-Diabetes

The list can go on and on...its almost odd to think I am probably the healthiest out of the group and I'm the one who doesn't go to the doctors.  Like I've complained before, this whole pregnant thing will have me at the doctors more in 9 months than I have been in the last 10+ years...Though I do believe Butler ER should have a parking space for me cause I've taken other ppl their so often...maybe one day they will lol...or maybe the ppl in my life will get better....or I'll learn to surround myself with unbroken people...but where is the fun is that?

We Like to do it Big...

In my family when 1 thing goes wrong pretty much everything goes wrong with it...lets see me and chelle end up pregnant, chad is off to jail again but not soon enough, and dad has cancer...

Finally Dad had the appt as to what they are actually going to do with him...they still aren't sure the extent of it yet and are doing another MRI to see if it has spread to more than just the lung...and they plan on doing a chemo/radiation combo...he's too stubborn to realize how sick he's going to get...but they are going to keep him down at the VA so at least we don't have to try to care for him on top of everything else

Okay that last part might have sounded mean but with everyone working it would be a little hard to try to get him back and forth and have someone there watching him when he does get sick...there is only so much time that can be taken off of work and chelle and I will already have to take fmla when the babies come so options are limited.

So we shall see how all this goes dad's convinced he'll be just fine...after what happened w/ grandpap we don't think its going to be that easy...but nothing in my life is...

Sleepy head

One way to start off a Monday is to sleep in...apparently I even shut off my alarm and don't even remember doing it...that's what I get for staying up and watching food network...Sundays are good nights with challenge and last cake standing I love those shows...

Nothing too new going on here...the kiddo shouldn't have down syndrome or any other neural tubular disease that can be found in my blood...so I suppose that is good news...now if only we can get an answer to the million dollar question...is it a boy or a girl...

Everyone has an opinion a different one of course...thank goodness there aren't more options than boy or girl lol...at least if its a girl it has a name...well two names actually...a boy is well just going to be called a boy...still need to figure out a name for if its a him...and I know I've already blogged about this subject but still have no solution to it...so again any suggestions are appreciated and don't be offended if they get shot down cause I think every boy baby name has...

Oh I'm sure I'll figure it out I just have to before I have an ultrasound cause that's how it has to be...

Easter 2011

 Its odd to think that this will be the last Easter that Tyler and Treyshon will be the only kids...this time next year me and chelle will have 6 month olds if all goes well...kinda creepy to think about...

Overall Easter was fine...Tyler I think was just overwhelmed...as usual everyone went overboard...but he's our spoiled little monster...

Figured I'd throw a pic of the little one in...can't forget about him though he's so quiet its hard not too lol...he's so little...and he's gonna be 6 months next month...

So to compare since they are both November babies...here is a pic of Ty at his first Easter...

Its like night and day...looking at the album of Tyler he was opening up gifts and stuff and wanting to play...so weird how they are so different...it will be neat and annoying for me and Chelle with everyone comparing our babies since they should be born pretty close together...we shall see how that goes lol

Oh What A Relief It Is

No clue as to why the Alka Seltzer slogan came to mind...another long day...hot water tank broke at grandmas so went to mom's to shower...well I originally wasn't planning on going there today, she managed to keep me busy all day...not that I mind...and I basically will go to sleep and be right back first thing in the morning to get dinner started since Chad will probably be too hung over to do it...

The odd thing is it kinda made me realize having  a kid w/o the baby daddy involved is going to be easier in some ways...no talk as to where the holiday is gonna be spent or where we're obligated to go too...there is no guilt trip for feeling like your leaving someones family out or going places that you don't want to go but do cause you have too...oddly even though I may still have a kid to lug around at least I'll be lugging it where I want to go and not where I am obligated to go...so its still a sense of freedom and we know I like to do what I want when I want too...

Anyways really need to get to sleep so that I can cook a ham, stuff a turkey, and such...holidays are only as good as the dinners...
