Update to the weekend....
Adam shut the water softener off and shook it. Turned it back on it started to work It must have just been plugged.
Mikayla is still having tummy issues. I am going make an appointment for her to go to the doctor for a follow up visit.
Funny story I had to share...the whole reason for this post. I went down to Mikayla's room this morning to see how she was feeling before I left for work. I woke her up and she said "I just had the craziest dream" I said "about what?" she says "a walking ticket". I just though that was so funny and she started to laugh.
Adam just called to inform me that it is 10 AM and both kids are still sleeping! NO WAY!

Busy, bad weekend
So the weekend continues...into Monday.
Let me back up and start from the beginning. Friday morning to be exact. I came into work and logged into my computer. I went to a couple of websites and all of a sudden I get a bunch of stuff popping up my screen. "Virus alert....Trojan detected...installing XP Police". Whatever that all is. I grab one of the techs and they decide to reimage my machine. Great! There goes 3 hours of my morning of doing nothing. As soon as I get my computer back, I am bombarded with calls and emails wanting status updates on their requests that they submitted..oh the same day! HELLO, ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY! AUGH! I get a call from my friend Jen. She got fired! They wouldn't even let her go back to her desk to get her stuff. Apparently someone at her job had it out for her from the beginning. I stumble through the rest of my day and get in the car to head home. Jen calls to confirm they are still coming over for dinner and asks if we want them to come earlier. I decline only because I had tons of stuff to do before they got there. I ran my errands, came home and by the time Austin got done eating, they were there. I didn't even get dinner on the stove yet!
I felt horrible as it now was 6 and nobody had eated yet. We sat down to watch the movie "Death Race" after dinner and the 5 year old was in bed. Blockbuster was one of the places I stopped at after work to rent the movie...I ended up buying it instead since there were a bunch of movies 3 for $20. Well, the stupid movie skipped and froze and now I have to take it back. I should have known better than to purchase previously viewed movies. Anyway I knew I had to check the other 5 I bought within 30 days because that's the time limit to return them if they don't work. Saturday morning I woke up and Adam and I were having a little disagreement. Well, three of them I guess. The first one was he told Mikayla she couldn't have a sticker after dance because she didn't stay dry over night. I told him that wasn't something he could take away from her because it was from dance and for doing good at dance. Also, we decided that accidents over night are no cause for punishment. Then my Mom called. She started drilling me about our trip to FL saying she didn't think it was a good idea, and what if I ran into my ex, and when was I going, when was I coming back, etc. Of course Adam was trying to talk to me during my convo with her and that just ended up making me more mad. Then we got to dance and he wants to talk about how he wants to join the softball team for his work. They are just starting this team and they would play on Thursdays. I said "when will you have time...you go to the gym three days a week (M-W) and then you are going to be gone on Th. too! When do I get time to do something? When are you going to spend time with the family?" Apparently he thought that family time was reserved for the weekends only. Nice! We had already decided that we were going to go shopping for each other's V-day's gifts that day. I called his parents to see if we could move his mom's birthday dinner from 3 to 4 to give us more time to shop. She didn't want to...for no reason.
I wasn't in the mood to shop, but I was going with Jen, so I thought it would be fun. He was going to go with my dad. We got home and left right away to go shopping. I had both the kids with me. We ran over to the mall and stopped at Hallmark for V-day cards and a birthday card for his mom's birthday...which we were celebrating at 3:00. Then we went to GNC where I spent $150 on supplements for him. That is his gift that he wanted. I went to Target and saw a Dyson on Clearance! I wanted one for so long and it was the last one on the shelf! I called him and he said "if you get a Dyson, I get a new gun" then he said "let me know what you decide to do". So, I put in the cart and bought it. I got home at 2:20 so we could be at his mom's birthday dinner at Chili's by 3:00. 2:50...no sign of Adam. I call him and he is another 5 minutes away so I tell him to call his mom to let her know we are late. He tells me they went to Cabella's and didn't buy my gift yet...that he HAD to supposedly get Saturday or it would be late. He gets home and says his parents are just getting ready to leave too. Ok, so why couldn't we change the time? Whatever! Who eats dinner at 3 in the afternoon? So we got to dinner and Austin was hungry because I didn't have time to feed him...thinking we were leaving at 2:45 to go out to eat. I gave him a bottle right after I scarfed down my meal. Then I starting telling his brother about Austin's dedication and Adam's mom started attacking me about why I wasn't baptizing him and how I was keeping something from him by not baptizing him. I felt so attached that I wanted to cry and leave the dinner immediately. I have done nothing to this woman but try to help her, listen to her when she needed to vent, and bend over backwards and now I get this! We were invited to their house for cake after dinner and I really didn't want to go! Adam's dad saw how horrible I felt and tried to tell me not to worry about it and that's just how she is. I didn't care, it still was un-called for. How can someone verbally attack someone else right after they get a gift from them! I reminded her that even babies that are baptized make the wrong decisions in life like her son, my husband, for example. She blames it on the people he hung out with. I blame it on his decision to hang out with them.
We still went over there for cake and watched "Fireproof". It is a great movie and can't wait to watch it again with less distractions. So we got home and started arguing about the vacuum cleaner I bought. He said "I told you to let me know what you decided to do". I thought that meant let him know when he got home if I bought it. He tells me that will be part of my V-day gift after I tell him I will just return it. I so want to just leave and cry at this moment! The next morning, I get up and start making this soup for the Sacred Heart Diet that I wanted to start. I gash my finger cutting the onions and Mikayla comes in after eating her breakfast and says her tummy hurts below her belly button. I told her maybe the pull-up was too tight and to go and put underwear on. She comes back up and says it hurts worse. Weird... Then she says she wants to go lay down. I told her that was fine. This was about 9 and we were planning on leaving for church at 10. Adam was downstairs and told her to go poopy, maybe that's why her tummy was hurting. She said she didn't have to go and I heard her starting to cry. I went downstairs and he had given her an enima. She was sitting on the toilet screaming in pain now and only a little poop came out. She kept saying she just wanted to lay down. I pulled him aside and said "something's not right with her and it's not poop related." He was freaking out that we needed to go to the doctor. I told him lets let her lay down for a while and watch her. He got mad at me saying that wouldn't help and that we needed to leave right now. We argued some more and finally I gave in to him. We get her in the car and she can barely walk she is hurting so bad. We are almost to the hospital when this lady started coming over into my lane without looking...next to me! Adam saw her and layed on my horn since I was distracted by Mikayla for a second as she was trying to get my attention. I re-focused on the dumb lady who still doesn't know what she did and when we stopped at the light to turn, Mikayla puked 3 times all over herself in the car seat and all over the car!
I felt so bad for her. Adam started freaking out again and I told him not to get mad at her. He said he wasn't and she was crying again. Her tummy still hurting. We got to the ER and she was so pale. I called my dad to bring us a spare coat and clothes for her and he did with Rhonda. It was so nice of them. They took her vitals...not much of a temp. They brought her back and tried to draw blood from her left arm, but bruised her instead. Then tried to draw from her right and got it in. She was crying so bad. She couldn't give a urine sample, so they had to use a cathetor. Poor baby! The doctor came in and started explaining what it could be...one of three things. Stomach flu, bladder infection/kidney infection, or Appendicitis. If the urine sample didn't show anything, we might consider a cat scan for the appendicitis, but since it was still early, the cat scan might now show it even if she does have one and if she does have one and it didn't show, she would have to have another one in a matter of 24-48 hours and that would be a lot of radiation for a 5 year old girl. It would increase her chance of getting cancer and possibly affect her ovaries for having kids later. NO WAY TO THE CAT SCAN!!! I told the doc I would wait for the results and monitor her at home...that way if she got worse I could bring her back and then have it done. The results showed a minor bladder infections..if at all. They gave me a prescription and send us home. The motrin they gave her at the hospital started to wear off and the pain started again. I ran to get her prescription filled after Adam got home from shopping for my V-day gift. I was so tired after spending 5 hours at the hospital with nothing to eat until 4 PM!
I came home and found her asleep in her bedroom with all the lights on, in her clothes and toys on her bed. What a sweety! I got her up to take her meds and got her ready for bed. I had to help her dress since she was still in pain. She still only had a slight temp of 99.6. This morning I woke her up and she said she was ok, but it still hurt. All she had to eat was crackers and water last night as she didn't want anything else. I decided to come to work. At about 7 AM, I was getting calls from Adam. The text I got from him was that the water softener was full of water and leaking onto the floor. Ok, not normal! He called his dad and found out how to shut it off. His dad is coming over tonight to look at it. Hopefully he can fix it or I will have to call someone for service. There's a hundred dollars just to start the service truck. Oh, did I mention it is a full moon today and that this Friday is the 13th? Oh and about the diet. So I am doing ok so far. The soup makes you poop a lot. It is supposed to clean out your system. I brought more with me to work today and am on day 2 of the 7 days. I don't know how long I can make it considering all my stress and the brownies at home calling my name. But I get a baked potato tonight if I don't cheat all day.

Inauguration Time
Today Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the Unites States and the 1st Black President. It is history in the making. I really hope he can live up to the expectations every one is putting on him. The "stimulus" package he is promising Americans is only adding to our already large debt. I don't understand how that is going to "stimulate" our economy. Research shows that only 25% of stimulus packages are used for their intended purpose. The other parts are used for re-paying old debt and saving. Well, what do you do.
Austin was 10 lbs 10 oz. at his appointment on the 9th. He is getting so big already! He is smiling so much now and really watching everything that goes on. He is such a cuddler.
Mikayla is asking about Kindergarten and becoming very interested in when she is going to go. I am trying to figure out how we are going to work the schedule for school and daycare while Adam is working.
I am starting to plan our vacation to Florida! I can't wait. I believe we are going to go Feb. 26-March 8th. Adam has never seen the ocean, so it will be a first for him...and Mikayla....oh and Austin! HA! Austin won't remember it though. It will be much more memorable for Adam and probably Mikayla. We are going to stay with my real dad and Carol. Nice that we won't have to pay for a hotel! Adam doesn't know this yet, but I planned it during Daytona's bike week! He really wants to go to that. We will head down there for a day. I will probably take the kids to the Jacksonville Zoo too. We will also definately be indulging in some fresh sushi!!! YUM!

2 weeks!!!
I am now down to 2 weeks until d-day! I can't believe it! I am still not dilated according to the doctor and not effaced either. My cervix is soft so that is good since that means I am making some progress. It sure is frustrating not to be dilated though. I have this feeling he will either come really really fast or I will be induced :( I am officially working from home starting today until I deliver. YAY! I couldn't be happier. I have this pressure on my pelvis that somedays hurts with every step I take. I didn't have that with Mikayla. He likes to push his butt from side to side too which is really cute..except for the elbow that pokes out my side when he does it. I am working harder on catching up on my scrapbooking now :) I actually made a lot of progress today. The dog left me alone all day which was nice for a change. Usually she is in my face! She is barking at me right now because her Kong (toy) is underneath the hutch and can't get it. It rolled under there while we were playing fetch. Poor baby!
I am also working on Austin's baby book...at least up until the birth part. I have his baby book that we bought at Target to the right spot. I should have his scrapped baby book there too except I am waiting for some pictures to be sent from Snapfish :) I am taking Mikayla trick/treating tonight at Celebration Church with Missy, Abby, and Brody. I am excited since even though I see Missy everyday when I pick up Mikayla, I don't get to hang out much. The last time we did something with the kids was going to the zoo when we still lived at our old Apartment. That seems like forever now! Anyway, I suppose I better get the dog her toy before her screaching bark drives me more insane!

Another week down
I am down to 3 1/2 weeks until my due date. I am actually feeling good today which was rare last week. I think by the end of October I will be working from home most of the time. It is really hard to make the trek into work everyday and I don't have a lot to do anyway. I have my doctor appointment tomorrow so hopefully I will find out I am dilated. It sure feels that way! My wonderful husband insulated our garage this weekend...with a little pushing :) He was so proud once he was all done. It looks great and the garage is already staying warmer :) Sunday I had lunch with Megan and he stayed home with Mikayla and mowed the lawn and puts some stuff in the shed for the winter. Everything looked great and Mikayla was excited to see me when I got home. It was nice to have 3 hours to myself for once :) I got one shelf lined in the kitchen and I hope to get them all done this coming weekend. Do you think I am nesting? Maybe....? LOL! All these last minute projects I want to do all of a sudden. It is kind of funny. I can't believe Halloween is right around the corner. We need to get a pumpkin! Maybe we can get to a pumpkin patch this coming weekend and take some more pictures. Hopefully Austin doesn't decide to ruin his sister's halloween fun :) At least someone can take her if he does.... she would be so mad if she couldn't go trick or treating. This coming Saturday is "wear your costume to class" at Dance. She is so excited to be able to do this. We will have to bring some treats for the kids :) We put the car seats in Sunday for Austin, so that is all done and we packed our hospital bag last night...well most of it. Some stuff is saved for last minute. Adam got an outfit ready and out in case I go into labor in the middle of the night. One of his favorite movies is Father of the Bride (one and two). I swear he will be just like Steve Martin...rushing around panicking! It will be cute though :)

Turning 30!
I turned 30 on Friday and it doesn't feel any different...so far. I did some major nesting on Sunday and am ready for this baby to come out! I had a horrible day at work today and couldn't stand to be here another hour if I had to. My work days aren't usually bad, but today was like working in hell. I don't understand people that think they can push other people around by bullying them. They have a low self esteem and have to make themselves feel like they are "somebody" by bullying other. Totally inappropriate, especially to a 9 month pregnant woman at work! Get a life!
