Miscellany Monday

This week we were able to pick our first raspberry. I do not think we will get very more this year. This week we spent plenty of time dealing with boo boo's. On Sunday my son fell over his handle bars and tore up his hand and leg and arms. That required a trip to the ER the next day. All is well and this is why we always wear our helmets After my son having a bike wreck my daughter tripped over her bike. Luckily dad was right there. I drove to pick her up and the dog thought she should be able to ride home to. This week is going to be a calmer week for us. But a wonderful weekend. I cannot wait to tell you about it. Pamela

Pregnancy Journal

I have to say I have felt great this week. I have realized that I can no longer do my big grocery shopping. Well I can but I cannot push the cart. I have a ton more pressure when I lift something or push something heavier than I am allowed. This week I went to Hobby Lobby with only one kid. When he got out of the van I realized that I could not pick him up to put him in the cart. I am thrilled to say he did awesome. I guess it is time to start training him. He said the cart was for the new baby. I am pretty sure this little blessing has had the hiccups a few times. I do not remember having it with the others but so cute. Feels like little bubbles only in one spot. This week we saw the perintologist and high risk OB and everything looks good. I will see them again in 2 weeks. Pamela

5 Question Friday

1. Do you have a doppelgänger? Thanks for the new spelling word. I had to look that one up. I do think I do. If I could be someone’s I would want to look more like Reba McEntire, actually this week my husband almost had me convinced to get a short hair cut like hers. I have always wanted to try it but am scared of the daily up keep. I am a wash and go kind of girl. 2. Do you keep your car cleaned up? Oh yeah, every time we get out and open the door things just fall out. It is bad, so so bad. We clean it out all the time but seriously you could live out of the thing for a month and still have everything you need. 3. What is a current fashion that drives you crazy. People who have there belly hanging out. Makes me up chuck in my mouth a little. There is not a excuse. I have been/am over weight so do not tell me you cannot find clothes, do not tell me you can’t afford it when I see what your shopping cart is full of in the store. I do not even like it on pregnant mommas. So please everyone for my upset stomach cover your belly. I heard a great phrase recently. They said when I see someone walking around in there underwear it just reminds me that they have not showered today. 4. How often do you go grocery shopping? Big shopping twice a month, then it seems like I have to go back a couple more times. I try hard not to go back because I know it is like handing over another $100. I also shop for church a few times a week. I try to shop at the same time. Yesterday I went shopping for church and for my home, 3 plus carts later and we were done. 5. What has been the best surprise of your life? Hmm, I cannot remember a time when I was surprised. Maybe the time after my husband and I remolded our kitchen by ourselves and then on my last trip to Lowe’s my husband calls and says that we are moving. I thought he was lying. SERIOUSLY! Two ovens and you think I am leaving my kitchen. To say a few tears were shed is a understatement. Pamela
