Gut feelings

What is it about growing up and realizing that your gut feelings really do make sense?!? While rocking my daughter back to sleep last night at 3 am and checking my email on my iPad (yes I'm a multitasker at heart) I saw the message come through about my son's baseball games. So I check out the updated tournament brackets and see that we have possible games on Saturday. Now this Saturday we had our 3rd Annual Beer Party planned, but something was telling me that we should cancel it. And seeing how I was up at 3 am with my daughter and that we may have baseball games, I knew that those were 2 things telling me the party was not a good idea. So I sent a little message to my husband and told him my hesitation with the party and sure enough he felt the same way. Phew! It is really crazy how my husband and I pretty much think alike. Kids come first and that's that.
So after I sent the message out this morning that the party was canceled, I instantly felt relief and started planning things to do with my kids (after baseball of course).
Now matter how much I want to have my free time, I know that anytime spent with my kids is precious and I need to take advantage of it...you never know what life will throw at you next.

Enough Already

I am such a bad blogger, but this pregnancy has taken its toll on me. For one, I have taken a leave of absence from my Master's Program, but hoping to get back to it. Second, I've had 6 ultrasounds with one more scheduled on March 2 and I'm just completely annoyed by how many I've had. It's weird b/c with both boys I only had the 1 at 20 weeks and that's it. This baby girl has proven to be a stink bug already so that is why I've had so many u/s with her. The one on March 2 is to check to see if she's turned...yes...Third...she's breech. GRRR! I am scared to death of being sliced open and I really would prefer giving birth the other way, but I guess I will do what I have to! Fourth, during the u/s they measure the baby all over the place and apparently I'm growing a baby chubs. Apparently it runs in both families! Ha! So this girl better not stay in way too long b/c I definitely can't imagine birthing a 10lb baby like her gramma and aunt. Yikes!
I'm miserable, tired, cranky, feel like a whale and just SO ready to meet this little girl...although I know she still has a few more weeks to cook. I'm ready for the buzzer to go off any time now.

ENOUGH ALREADY!

New Beginnings

I haven't blogged in who knows when, but it's a new year and I'm going to try to start off by blogging a little more.
Today I start back in my master's program here at WSU. We only have class on Thursdays, but it's two classes from 4-10:30...I literally die in the last class just dreaming of my bed. This quarter will be especially eventful as I should have this little baby girl before it ends. I'm hopeful that I will still be able to continue with my masters program but know I will have new challenges to face once this little girl arrives. Oh...just think of how tired I will be then with no motivation whatsoever to want to sit in class for 6 hours and I'll just want to be at home with my husband and kids. *sigh* I know I really have nothing substantial to complain about and I am truly thankful for the life I've been given. But everyone needs to vent...and this is going to be my outlet from now on so my family and coworkers don't get sick of me...so sorry bloggers...i'll be whiny for awhile.
