Get it...Ketchup?!
So that's what I'm doing in this post today... Catch up.
The biggest news...WE'RE PREGGERS! We found out in April and my due date is Dec 25 . If the baby comes a week early than he/she will come on my birthday and that will be 3 generations born on Dec 19 (how cool!). But, i guess we'll just have to wait and see. And I think were all excited. Abbey says "baby,baby,baby" and pokes my belly. She loves babies and I hope it stays that way!
Next school ended and I couldn't have been happier! I now get to spend more time with Abbey, crafts, oh, and the hubby...hehe.
Abbey is a growing learning machine! She amazes me every single day with something new. Oh, and she's an attitude machine too. First, her new thing is to strip her diaper off whenever she wants and streaks. The worst time was bedtime. Seconds after I would put her to bed I would check on her and there she is standing there nude. So, thought to myself and figured out a solution. I have cloth diapers I just don't use them to often because I only have 3.But one was enough, so I grab it, snap them on her, and ta-da. Nudist baby problem solved! And she sleeps a lot better now too.
Just two days ago she learned to pop her mouth with her finger. It cracks me up every time cause she gets so happy when it pops. We're working on colors. It's a working progress. She's stuck on yellow. Everything is yellow! "What color is this?" Pointing to a purple balloon..."Yellow". Like I said working on it. :) Next, is her ABC's. I say them and she repeats. It's so stinkin cute! My favorite one to have her say is "W". It's just to cute!
Sick, Sick, Sick, holy cow I thought I was dying. I was 13 weeks pregnant when it hit. I thought it was just morning sickness. Oh, how I was wrong! Throughout this whole pregnancy I've had terrible nausea and vomiting...like 2-3 times a day I was visiting the bathroom. But, when I got sick my appetite dwindled to almost nothing. I was living off of instant breakfast with water, apple sauce, and bananas. Jacob had to force me to eat because I had no desire. I slept most of the days. And just even walking to the bathroom was exhausting. Then, I developed a weird rash and cough. It was terrible. It was so bad it tightened my chest every time I tried to breath. If I could imagine an asthma attack I'd figure that's what it would be like. After 3 weeks I was finally back on my feet. I was still really weak. It wasn't until a full week of eating normally that I was able to go shopping, walk, and even play with Abbey. I'm just glad it's pretty much over! Still have a slight cough.
Ok, last big news! We mooooooooved! No more terrible Lindsey Management Apartments. Our last rent due there was for July. Then, not long after we had revived some great news from our 1st landlady. She was having a tenant move out and she wanted to know if we were interested? Heck Yes! Our last day at the old apartment was July 1! (still really weak so Jake did most of the moving)! It's a great duplex that's stuck in the 70's, complete with wood paneling, mustard colored carpet, and yellow appliances! We did have to buy our own fridge, washer, and dryer. The apartment has great square footage, back yard, washer and dryer hook-ups, private carport, and cheap! The real bonus is our landlady. She is an elderly lady who might chit chat your ear off but she's so kind.
