Its been so long....

I never have any idea if anyone in the world ever reads what I write...but I guess it is a good way of being able to look back and reflect on stuff later, just for me...hhhhmmmm...

I has been so long, and I really prefer to blog on here instead of myspace. Seems more grown up. I am trying hard to stick to a bed time so I can get up and go to bed at the same time every day. This is for my sanity but even more for the well being of my son who has a tendancy to have a bad day if I start it out being a cranky poop. All that to say that it is hard to get on here and write because I'm usually busy doing other things, should be busy doing other things or too sick or tired to sit up and type. I'm making excuses to myself...b zar.

So an update on how the pregnancy is going should be in order...well, lets see...

Found out about this baby in November...it was a total surprise. Not intended but definately wanted. I was a bit down about it at first...I've always looked at parents who have a kid under 2 and a baby and think "How the heck do they do it?" and I never thought I could. But here we are, new baby due in July and Kaeleigh will be 21 months old. It really didn't even get real for me until the ultrasound last week. But I am very excited now and Kaeleigh and this little girl are going to be close enough in age to be great friends (and later enemies!) and they can share a room and all that.

In December after Christmas I had an acute attack of gall bladder stones. Brad was working somewhere in Seattle and I was home alone with the kids. I had to call a friend to drive me to the hospital, have someone watch my kids and then take them overnight. My friend Caylin was with me in the ER after I had been alone for about 3 hours in severe pain. I finally got some good pain medication IV after about 5 hours in absolute agony. I can honestly say it was worse than labor pains. This was my FIFTH attach in the last 9 years and they finally were able to diagnose me properly, even though I knew the whole time what it was.

So, I have battled nausea, the inability to eat, and upper abdominal pain for the past 15 weeks and the last ultrasound showed I have many more stones again. Yay! I get to wait for the next sneak attack of stones and go back to the ER for medication. It is stupid...I wish they could just prescribe me something really strong to take at home for them, but that would be illegal I think because dang, that was some goooood stuff.

I have scheduled c-sections so this time we are going to take my stupid gall bladder out at the same time and I'm going to ask them to put it in a jar for me so when I'm recovered I can throw it down, stomp on it and then put it in the path of the nearest freight train.

Splat!!!!

In better news, the baby is healthy and I can already feel her moving around in there! I am trying to remember every moment since this will be my last pregnancy. (I'm also having my tubes tied at the same time as the c-section.)

It will all be over soon and that is what I keep telling myself over and over! And, unlike cancer or some other sickness, I get a baby out of the deal!
