I look at this web site once a week to see what changes go on in the baby thought it was kinda cool and thought i’d post it.
How your baby’s growing:
Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She’s starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they’ll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby’s heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic “tail” is completely gone. Your baby’s organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won’t be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won’t open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby’s basic physiology is in place, she’s poised for rapid weight gain.

High School rivals, you gotta love it, every student dressed in their school colors, and acting as crazy and loud as can be, and doing the most obnoxious things you could imagine!! I went to my little brothers basketball game “the civil war” it was against their rival school the Hillcrest Knights, (every game against eachother is called the civil war) anyway, for as long as I can remember Hillcrest has always done the stupidest things to get into trouble, I remember one time while I was in high school, they threw out rolls of toilet paper onto the court when we scored our first basket, last year they captured a duck from the river and let it loose during the game, but nobody knew who actually did it so there were no charges or fines against anyone, every year during Bonneville’s spirit week over the weekend, the knights will come paint all over Bonneville’s huge spirit rock in front of the school, and at Friday nights game I guess the “plan” (my brother heard this from friends over at Hillcrest) was to let a pig loose during the game, well I guess at the pep assembly the students were told if anything was done then the team would have to forfeit the game. So their minds kept busy for another idea… which was putting newspapers in front of their faces as Bonneville’s team was being announced, totally ignoring them. which is better than anything else I guess. So the game was played, and Bonneville, of course won, with my brother shooting a sweet 3 pointer. Although Hillcrest isn’t the only school that has done something awful, I remember Skyline High School took cats and hung them by their tails from the goal post at Idaho Falls High School before their big game (they are the other local High School rivals). I just can’t believe how people can be so cruel to animals just to get attention! and how can they not get caught at these things! some people are so immature! but I do want to add, at the end of the game there was some decent Hillcrest band members 2 trumpet players and a drummer who went over to the Bonneville side and played their school song to help them celebrate!! GO BEES!!!

So I am feeling a little better today and called the doctor, I asked the receptionist if I could get in today to get my blood pressure checked and ask about feeling light headed, all she said was “oh they’ll check all that on your first appointment” which isn’t scheduled till the 23rd. I asked to speak to the nurse and she said she’ll have to call me later, I really wasn’t impressed with the receptionist! so anyway…the nurse called me about an hour later I told her how my blood pressure was really high with my first, and I checked it a few weeks ago and it was 135/81 so I’ve been taking it easy, not going to the gym or anything, but still kinda worried about it, she told me to come in at 2:00, yeah!! my blood pressure today was 130/90 so it was even higher, she talked to Dr. Barton and he said that we should treat it now so it won’t get as bad as it did before. Wohoo!! then she asked me about nausea, I told her that it hit me really hard yesterday, and how bad it was with my other one, she gave me meds for that too!! (I love that nurse practitioner!!) I got 2 different ones for nausea, one for the day and one for night that will knock me out!! yeah I get to sleep!! did I mention I really love that nurse!! so anyway, I got home not to long ago, took one of the nausea meds and now 20 mins later I could totally go do something now, too bad I;m still tired, so tomorrow i’ll be able to get out, maybe I can even go to the gym!! WOHOO!!!!!!! they want me to come in again next week to check my blood pressure again jsut to make sure it went down!! so with the help of medication…I get to have a good pregnancy!!! oh yeah, she said my blood sugar might be low, that’s why I’m feeling light headed, so I have to eat more protein to see if that helps

I think I jinxed myself, I’m not feeling so good anymore. Yesterday evening is when it hit me and then hit really hard at about 2am, I didn’t sleep at all! I threw up about every 20-30 minutes till about 6am it was horrible, after that I still didn’t sleep, I’m starting to remember why I used to say I was never going to get pregnant again. So I went back on the soup diet again, hopefully it can be a today thing only cause I can’t do this again! I was going to make a doctors appointment today but I didn’t think I’d be able to leave the house so hopefully tomorrow I’ll feel better so I can go, if not, I’ll go anyway and tell them they have to give me something so I won’t be so sick, I recently heard of a B6 shot they can give, I’m so begging for that!

okay, so for those of you who don’t know, I’m pregnant, word seemed to travel really fast so I’m sure everyone does (if you don’t sorry, call me and ask how i”m doing and I’ll tell you the news) I’m not very far along at all, only like 6 maybe 7 weeks along, I can already tell that this ones going to be different, hopefully meaning it’s gonna be a boy! I’m not a sick as I was with Chloe, I’ve only felt a little nauseous in the morning the past couple days but today I’m doing good, as long as there is constant food going into my mouth, so I’m trying to be careful with what is going in, I’m NOT going to gain as much weight with this one!!! (that can be the new year resolution) I don’t remember being so tired though, it’s horrible, I haven’t been napping in the day, cause Chloe’s naps aren’t that long, and if I take one with her it’s always worse when I get up cause it’s just not enough for me, but I do just lay on the couch and watch tv, or get on the computer, but then night comes and I”m so tired you’d think I’d sleep all night but I wake up after about 2 maybe 3 hours and I’ll be up the rest of the night, I’ve been doing that for the past 4 nights so yesterday I bought some unisom and last night I slept so good!!!
GO FISH
Chloe got a go fish game from Santa, she loves it, we’ve been playing it so much, it’s so fun to play it with her, she’s actually really good, we don’t really have to help her and she wins. Here is one of the funniest conversations we have:
VINCE: Chloe, do you have any Clown fish?
CHLOE: no, go fish
CHlOE: mommy, do you have any Clown fish?
ME: do you even have any Clown fish cards?
CHLOE: nope, go fish
it’s hilarious, we’re trying to teach her that she only gets to ask for cards that she already has, but sometimes she’ll forget and ask what we just asked her for. Anyway, it’s time for me to go get ready since it’s noon

The snow has finally stopped (so far) the sun is shining, but it is still freezing out but atleast it’s not snowing and gray out, the new year is starting out great!! New Years Eve was not really that eventful, we just went to dinner and went home, I was really wanting Olive Garden but it was an hour wait, so we went to Chili’s instead, where all 3 of us had cold food. We didn’t even stay up till midnight, Chloe went to sleep about 10:00 and me and Vince just watched t.v in bed and I fell asleep, this was the first year ever that I stayed home, oh well though, I don’t really care anymore, I guess being a mom takes alot of the fun parties away, but, that’s ok, because I love being a mom!
Chloe has been so cute with all her new toys from Christmas, she is cooking so much in her kitchen, some of the things she has made is…hot dog soup, french fry soup, pizza, cakes and cookies. she needs to work on the soups though today she played with her Hello Kitty house, she’s getting the role playing thing down and it’s so cute!!
I’m watching friends as I’m typing this and I just realized something, Chloe is gonna turn out like Monica!!! Oh NO!!! for a while now she has had to have things a certain way, seriously, on some things she’s’ crazy, if we refill her cup at lunch or dinner and when we put in back on the table she says “no it doesn’t go right there, it goes right here!!” so we’ll put it where she points and it’s still not right, she’ll move it barely to the side or turn it so it’s facing a certain way, it’s kinda funny, but I really hope it’s just a toddler thing and she’ll get over most of it.
