All Skate

Decided that it would be fun to take Dane roller skating for the 1st time on Saturday, so we invited his cousins Claire & Elise to come along. It was their 1st time too! We went to Indian Lake Rollarena. Seriously hadn't been there in probably 15+ years. It was exactly the same, down to the flaking carpet walls and nasty roller skates. Ewww. Oh well. We had so much fun!

Best Buds. Look at those beautiful brown eyed babies. This picture made me realize that they look like they could be siblings instead of cousins. How cute!

Definitely gonna do this again. We had so much fun! The kids took to it really well for it being the first time. By the end, Claire and Dane were skating all by themselves! I was alittle nervous for myself, I hadn't been on skates in A LONG TIME but it must be like riding a bike cause not one of us fell :)

* It's been awhile since I posted anything. We were alittle sickly around here. Everyone is good now, thank goodness! I've been busy working, taking care the family/house and doing alittle early nesting too.

24 weeks. Found a great pair of maternity jeans today at Kohls that I'm really excited about. So comfortable and good looking too. They might need hemmed alittle though, but that's always an issue when your a shorty. Good thing my momma can sew :)

No names yet but we have a small list on ones that are possible. Might keep it a secret when we decide, we'll see.

"There's My Little Buddy!"

Dane does an impersonation of his Grandpa Longshore saying "There's my little buddy"

An Indians ball hat and Mr. Potato Head mustache top it off!

*Went to the Dr. today. I tried to tough it out but just couldn't. I was up most the night praying god for mercy, hoping to just sleep for a few hours. I have been sick plenty of times, but never have I had my teeth hurt so bad! Over and over I envisioned myself taking a pair of pliers and ripping them out! Turns out I have an upper respiratory infection and a sinus infection. So Amoxicillin it is. Thank god that it's safe to take during pregnancy. I also left the pharmacy armed with a Neti Pot, Breath Right Strips, Cough Drops and a box of the ever so sacrid Sudafed (also safe for preggos)

That Neti Pot is awesome. Feels so good! Only suppose to do it 2x/ day. I can't wait till tonight so I can try it again!

Mmmmm

Cookies and Milk anyone? Mmmmm. Yum, Yum, Yum

My house needs to be quarantined. I think we're gonna hit it up with a bunch of Clorox wipes tomorrow. Brad started it with a fever, body aches/chills and a minor cough. Just has he got better he passed it on to Dane and I. It's awful. Dane and I had fevers yesterday. The worse is the cough! My whole body hurts. My chest and back hurt, it hurts to breath and my throat is so sore! I just want to drug myself with Nyquil or use a real cough drop or take anything but Tylenol to help me. I think we're coming out of it though, Dane is already better. He's hardly coughing at all. I might take alittle longer to recover, my immune system is busy and focused on building a baby and totally abandoned me.

~An unexpected unpleasant effect to being pregant and sick at the same time...... coughing so hard in the morning that it causes you to puke and pee alittle at the same time. True story :(

Prayers welcome.
