January 2011

I swore my house would NEVER look like Blakes parents but things went all wrong once Blake came home from Alaska last September...... He had shot a buck and had it mounted. The deer up in Alaska are cute and small so when Blake BEGGED ME to put it up I thought sure he wont be too much of an eye sore so up he went. I gave Blake a little corner in the living room to have for his "HUNTING" memorial... A week ago I come home and find this GIANT DEER hanging next to the little guy. This was Blakes buck from Colorado that his Dad had hanging in his own house. Well he ran out of room at his house and told Blake he could have his deer back.... It is all down hill from here! I realized Blake is just going to make a collage in his corner and squeeze as many animals that fit. My house will slowly turn into a museum.... DANG IT LEIGH! YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE OK'ED THE FIRST ONE!!!
And P.S. I swear the deer looks at me when I am home late at night and I get scared back into my bedroom.......
But... I do love my husband so I try and show him that somewhere deep down (really really deep down) I like hunting.



-13 weeks pregnant-
I am pretty sure I looked this big at 24 weeks with Tay but oh well. BRING IT ON. I cried the other day because I swore it was in my head how big I looked but Blake told me I looked " a lot bigger than last time." I am not scared of the weight gain just the thought of getting three times bigger! What if I cant walk???? lol
This pregnancy has been COMPLETELY different than Tays so we shall see what this kid is like? Tay cried her first year of life... Maybe this one will be a "good baby" FINGERS CROSSED!
I am not gonna lie I dont think I want to ever get pregnant again. I hate to complain for those pore women that cant get pregnant but I have to journal this so I can hold it against the kid when he/she is older and acting up ya know?!

-at 5 weeks I had horrible back labor pains and was scared to death of loosing the baby. 3 days later the pain stopped but so did all the other symptoms. I was SO SCARED!!!! I wanted to have a symptom ANY SYMPTOM
-Then I jinxed myself..... a week later instead of miscarrying I got horrifically sick. I was sick all day and all night. I could not get out of bed some days and pore Blake and tay had to put up with a useless wife/mom.
-My doctor hooked me up with some Zofran. THANK THE HEAVENS!!!!! I dont know why Doctors hold out. That medicine needs to be at the front counter like mints. Seriously!

-at 10 weeks I got really bad stomach aches and my doctor told me not to eat dairy. KILL ME. I live on milk... But he was right I had developed lactose problems my stomach feels fine as long as I dont have milk.

-Last week I was in Safe way and fainted in the checkout line. It was SOOOOO embarrassing. I was all alone and the pore checkout guy had to come over and help me. I cried like a little baby to him. I AGAIN had to call my Doctor.. (he probably thinks I am psycho) and he told me I was probably hypo-glysemic and had to snack every hour.

Every week is something new ha ha.. But all that matters is that this baby is healthy!!!! I would do it a million times over to protect my baby. I cant wait to meet the little one.. but even more I CANT FREAKIN WAIT to find out if the baby has a hamburger or hotdog!!!!!


Talia is 27 months and she is just a doll! Talia says to me daily "mommy sick?"... "Mommy u ok?" .... and wipes my tears and says "Mommy dont cry." She is the best. When I become a baby she becomes a grown up...

She is in the process of potty training and some days does great and other days..... well we dont talk about those days. Our goal is to get her trained before this baby comes. Love you Tay



Dora is MY new best friend... Yes Tays too but mine for sure. While dealing with the morning sickness Dora has kept Talia's full attention and entertains her through out the day. Talia has never been into watching movies or TV so this new obsession is fine by me! If she likes it I love it!

Oh Leigh! I feel your pain. I felt the same way when I was pregnant. Pregnancy is so HARD, for me it's harder than having a newborn. And Cora used to never watch TV too but with Jazz around that has changed:)

Bethi said...

Oh I am so sorry that you have been so sick! That really stinks. I was sick with Luke but this time around it has been totally different. So maybe it's a boy!!! Who knows! I feel huge too! I am glad we are in the same boat. :)

And about the mounts. I have told Derek that I will not have those in my house either... but we aren't in a permanent place yet... but I really hope it doesn't happen. You are such a great wife! :) I've told him that he can have a room to himself where I can shut the door! haha!

We can't wait till you find out if its a boy or girl...we're so excited!! Talia is such a sweetie. I wish we lived closer :( I love when our girls get together and play, Talia is so sweet with Taylor. Love you :) oh and sorry about the deer wall haha...but it was kind of inevitable :)

Mama J said...

As for the wall mounts, you are a NICE wife. Blake is ONE Lucky Lucky Man!!! Loves to YOU!!

Casey said...

Seriously. I swear wall mounts do follow you with their eyes. Have you tried naming them? Maybe that will help. And ditto to all comments above saying that you are a hot pregnant lady. No worries, girl :)

Barbara said...

You are one HOTT Prego Mama! You seriously look great! But yeah it totally isn't fair that we show SO much earlier with the second! My gosh woman!!!...if I lived there I would be escorting you around...no more fainting!!! How scary. I am so sorry you have been feeling so sick! Hang in there, you are my hero! And Dora is awesome, you should try out Strawberry Shortcake too. Sofia LOVES those shows, just an idea :) Take care of yourself! Love ya

We are cool now too said...

Leigh you look great! Keep eating those broiled doughnuts, haha! Love ya! Hope you feel better soon!

Oh Leigh! I am glad that you are not feeling as sick as before, but WOW... what a crazy pregnancy you've had! I am not going to complain about mine anymore :) Sure hope that you are coming to the end of having weird (and scary) new symptoms.

Have to agree with everyone else, YOU LOOK AWESOME! Seriously. At least yours is all belly :). Sometimes I wonder if the baby is growing in my butt rather than my stomach.

Ohh the mounts.... You are so nice!!! Aaron once felt like we needed a HUGE picture of Kramer in our front room along with several vintage hard-rock record covers. Lucky for us we were living in a two bedroom apartment so I told him he could decorate the spare room. I wonder what will happen when we move into our own place and don't have a spare room... hmm.
