APRIL--OK for those who don't know me I love practical jokes LOVE THEM. So this April Fools I tricked my little niece and told her I was pregnant, evil I know, but I get it in the end because I was pregnant, and had no idea. Mean while I'm in my doctor's office telling them that I think I might have a UTI because I'm hitting up the bathroom every 10 minutes, if you've ever been pregnant you know what that's all about, and of course the P.A knowing of my medical background immediately goes with my diagnostics and prescribes me drugs without waiting for and test to come back--of course I'm not going to treat something without confirming I have that illness, and even if I was a druggie I couldn't even take the pills she prescribed because of my kidneys which I made her aware of my medical history, she just didn't do her job, so she has been FIRED!!! I went to the local heath foods store and holistically treated myself for a UTI and Kidney infection--ALL NATURAL.
Few weeks pass and it starts to become apparent--the cramping; ligament pain from my growing uterus, the frequent potty breaks; a little more obvious, and of course the nausea; the tell tell sign your pregnant stupid. I take and test and voila medical mysteries solved. Of course I'm flipping out, now don't get me wrong I LOVE BABIES, in fact when I'm done raising mine I'll hopefully be a pediatric nurse and then ultimately a pediatrician, but the timing was just really really bad for me, and of course everyone else is so excited. SO YEAH WE ARE HAVING A BABY.
EASTER Comes and Goes, my little Kylee turns 7, and loses her two front teeth, my dear sweet aunt Linda passes away, and I'm a complete mess with all the pregnancy hormones. I felt so bad I know she's in a better place but honestly I couldn't control my emotions and I've never in my life cried so much and so hard and I probably made it harder for everyone seeing me so distressed, but I was able to pull it together for the family get together and spend time with my uncle--She was an amazing woman and will be miss.
My mom finds out I'm pregnant and some how my sister too, and she tell me to go make my brother Joe cry by telling him I'm having a boy--he has three girls too. Bev tells him I'm pregnant and he makes fun of me because we had gotten together the week before I found out I was pregnant and he kept asking me when I was going to have another one--I had probably heard that from at least 30 different people over the past 6 months--no pressure people, and I told him I was done, and now here I am mommie to be--again.
Word gets out like a forest fire we are expecting--not that I was able to hide it I'm measuring twice is big and I should be and the doctor thought I was either having twins or I was a couple of months off my dates, but after an ultrasound we find out I have a bicornuated uterus, and so I look like I'm 5-6 months pregnant when I'm only 3. That kinda stinks because I'm already in maternity clothes and normally I'm still in my jeans at about 7 months oh well life goes on even for us fashionable retarded ones.
We had a lot of family reunions over a few weeks. One of my favorite moments was when my cousin whom hadn't seen me in over 20 years asks my brother Joe if I was his wife. At first my brother thought he was joking but then we had to totally make fun of him for not knowing who I was and thinking my brother could score such a gorgeous trophy wife--only teasing.
We had a party in Tucson, then in sun city, LOTS OF FOOD!! We had a date night for a fundraiser for scouts again more food. UGGHHH.
MAY--Mothers day was fabulous--flowers and and a wii remote and game (it's kinda an inside joke because my husband teases me that I buy him gifts that are really for myself so he bought me one for himself) oh and I got this romantic pearl necklace, earrings and ring. It came with an actual oyster with the pearls inside and a story about in the islands when a man love a woman he risks his life to dive in the dangerous waters to find her a pearl to symbolize his love and devotion to her--awe
Gila Valley Temple Dedication and Cultural Celebration
We went to Pima for this and my mother in law had actual tickets to the cultural celebration because Dani and Charli were dancing for the prophet but I let Kiora go instead because I was afraid of getting sick--yes morning sickness has been a nightmare for the past three months but I'm a survivor. Hopefully that will be a memory of a lifetime for her. We went through the temple and went to the dedication such a wonderful experience.
Summer Time fun. We went to Ikea for our traditional Saturday breakfast it was free yeah, the girls planted flowers, then we went to the zoo and had a picnic and played in the water. The Zoo is our favorite place to visit and we try to go as much as possible. The rest is just usually summer time fun, parks, swimming, movies, pizza parties, riding camels, touching sting rays, bowling, feeding the ducks, water parks, shopping, staying up late, game nights all that good stuff. I love summer!
OK i'm done with all the awesomeness--for now.
