The Good Life: April 2009

April 29, 2009

Business Time?

Could it be?

I think I MIGHT be in labor here...not sure...last time I was induced, so I didn't go through the first part, really, you know? But I'm sitting here not able to sleep and I THINK I'm contracting away...

Well, I'll definitely keep you posted either way... yikes!!

37 weeks and counting...

Whoo-hoo! I am really excited to be almost done. Not that I haven't enjoyed being pregnant, but man oh man am I about really to be done.

Oh an PS have I mentioned that I am not 100% that it's a boy floating around in there? Yeah, I'm not. It is just such a different experience from last time! I know, I know, there was a little wiener on the sonogram picture, but I had a dream that it was just the cord. Not to mention...

WITH IZACC:
I had a little, if any, morning sickness.
I craved Mexican food and chilli dogs.
And all things sweet, especially chocolate, gave me heartburn.
I gained a whopping 60 lbs.
I carried him low and I have the amazing stretch marks to proove it.
I got wider, like a lot wider. He was all tucked inside.

THIS TIME:
I was SO stinkin sick! All day long. It was awful.
I have craved nothing but sweets, like gummies and Dr Pepper and, believe it or not, Chocolate...and a lot of it. Wow.
With this one, so far, I'm not even up to 20 lbs yet.
I am carrying this one super super high. So high in fact that my ribs have popped out. (More on that little wonder to come...)
This one is all out in front. I mean ALL OUT in front.

Not to mention I just don't "feel" like it's a boy in there.
I don't know. I will take whatever I can get, don't get me wrong, but, well, we'll just see come D-DAY what comes out!

PS: How long is my hair! I am so excited! It's about time!

Happy Birthday Brookie!

Today is my Brooke's birthday. She made this collage for me on my birthday, sorry I stole it! I just don't have ANY pictures of us from way back when, you know?

So Happy happy birthday to my favorite girl in the whole wide world. You have been my sister and my friend. I am so stinkin proud of you for the person you are and the way cute family you are raising. All my life, you were the one I looked up to and wanted to be like. You were and are my role model and I just love you bunches. You're amazing and talented and beautiful and just an all around great person. I want to call you so bad today but I have this CRUD and my voice is nearly nonexistent. So I hope you have a wonderful birthday and forgive me for using the pictures you did. I love you and miss you! You're amazing! Love love love!

PS Could I have looked any more like a monkey in that picture in the upper left hand corner?!? For real!

We're calling in sick!

That's right, we're sick. Izacc and I that is. We somehow managed to keep it at bay all winter long, but April hits and we've decided now would be a great time to sit in bed all day. We went for a short visit up to Gramma and Papa's last week. Little cousin M had a fever of 102, a nasty cough and a super snotty nose when I got there, so we tried to keep the boys seperated. The problem was that his parents just kept bringing him around (and not taking him to the Dr, might I add) So not only did Izacc and I end up catching it, but Papa, Uncle Pee and Aunt Nee got it as well. Nothing like sharing, right? There's not a lot I can take, being pregnant and all, but Izacc is all hopped up on antibiotics and on "boogie" patrol, informing me whenever there is another intruder. He has a pretty nasty ear infection as well, but you'd never know it. He's still his happy, silly self. Ah well. We're just trying our best not to get Daddy infected...

New Room

Izacc has been sleeping in a "big boy bed" for quite some time now. ("Big boy bed" being his crib with one of the sides taken off) Well, my nesting instinct hit and I suddenly felt the need to wipe down and disinfect everything in what was Izacc's room, will be the new baby's room, even though I know it's not necessary right this minute seeing as how the new babe will be sleeping in our room for at least a couple months...sometimes logic eludes me. Anyway, the time had come for Izacc to move across the hall into his new, much bigger room. And to make it a special thing for him, we have found almost all things Cars ...

New sheets (thanks Papa and Gramma) and a nice new quilt...

New curtains (handmade by Mommy, of course. Who can afford those character cartoon curtains anyway?)

And even a new bedside lamp and matching nite lite. (Big Lots is my superhero!)

There is still a clock to be hung and a dresser to be painted "Lightning McQueen" red, but I think this will be the best Cars room ever... hopefully he'll like Cars for more than another year...

Izacc's Words of Wisdom

August 15, 2011- While playing with Amelia he wrapped her up in a blanket and said, "Look mom! She's all snuggled up like a bug in a carpet." I think he was trying to say snug as a bug in a rug, but I get it.

July 2011- After church Izacc couldn't find me for a few minutes. On the drive home he said "If you had Life Alert I would have found you faster."

June 12, 2011- "Her ears are so cute! If I see them again I'm going to die!"

April 8, 2011- "Mom, guess what. I have a girlfriend named Anna. And when we get bigger we're going to get married. And then she'll have babies. And they will call you Grandma. But you'll still be my mom."

My life just flashed before my eyes.

March 2011- Izacc won't let me cut his hair. He wants it to look like "Justin Beaver" of whom he refers to as "Beaverton"

March 2011- I was listening to the radio and Izacc came into the room head banging his little heart out. I asked him if he like this song. He said, "No, mom, I don't. My brain is plugging it's ears."

February 2011- On a drive back home, my mom was trying to entertain the boys by putting Cheetos on a straw and told Izacc they were shiskabobs. Izacc then took a marshmallow bunny, skewered it and proclaimed "Shiskabunny!"

October 4, 2010- I said that I think I have the cutest kids around. Daddy said "I think Mommy's biased." Izacc said "No Jesus buyed us."

September 2010- Izacc's favorite songs to request are Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold, Your Betrayal, by Bullet For My Valentine, and Airplanes and the night sky and shooting stars by "that singing M&M." Oh and Follow the Prophet. At least he's well versed in all genres!

August 2010- Izacc's clock on his wall ran out of batteries. One night, as I was putting him to bed, he gasped and said, "Mommy! Quick! My clock is going to run out of time! Find some batteries!"

June 15, 2010- While driving to Ikea, I pointed out the temple on the hill. When Izacc saw it, he asked me, "Was it built by the wise man or the foolish man?"

May 2010- Izacc made about 10 funny faces in a row and then proclaimed, "Those are my all my species."

May 2010- We were driving around and I commented on how pretty the moon was. IZ said "Are we going home? Because I want to keep driving and look at the beautyness!"

April 2010- Upon seeing that I had put away the toys he was playing with, he came into the room and proclaimed, "What the hell, mom?" He also informed me that I "scared the hell out of him" in Wal-Mart. Again, not sure where he's getting it from but I have to give him props for at least using it correctly.

February 21, 2010- We were listening to Kid's Place Live and the song "Heigh Ho" came on. IZ said, "Mom, they're saying 'pie hole' that means there is a big hole in their pie! Why is there a hole in their pie?"

February20, 2010- "Hey mom! Nice socks. What are those? Monkeys? Hey, speaking of which, I gotta get these bad boys off!" as he ripped his own socks off. Not kidding, that is exactly what he said...I almost died.

January 28, 2010- "Mommy, you make the best cookies and the best noodles."

January 27, 2010- IZ was pushing the cart at Walmart, he said, "Look Mom. Am I pushing the cart?" I said, "Yeah you are! Good job!" He then said, "Yeah, I'm pushing the hell out of this cart!" Yeeeaaaaaahh...uh...not 100% on where he picked that one up...really.

January 1, 2010- While sledding around the neighborhood, we crashed. IZ stood up and turned around, his glasses crooked on his face and simply said, "What'd we hit?". He later crashed with Gramma and stood up and said, "That's it. I'm done. I'm going back to Gramma's."

December 25, 2009- My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin and their kids came over to our house to check out our Christmas loot. IZ was very eager to show off everything he got and tried to get everyone to follow him down the stairs. When everyone left, he came up stairs and said, "Where did those humans go?"

November 18, 2009- IZ was watching a movie and I told him it was time to take a bath. He said, "Okay, let me go square my movie." I asked him what that meant. He said, "A square makes it stop and a triangle makes it go." So smart that kid.

November 11, 2009- EB has started saying "ma ma ma ma" and when IZ heard this, he continued EB's song by singing, "My my my poker face."

November 5, 2009- Ever heard the song "Say Hey (I Love You)" by Michael Franti & Spearhead? There is a part that goes, "The more I see the less I know. But I know one thing, That I love you (baby girl) I love you
I love you I love you." IZ, instead of singing "Baby Girl" sings "DIRTY BIRD!"

October 20, 2009- IZ was looking at a place mat with dinosaurs and their names. He then stated "This is a quadruped. He has four legs and a long neck and a big nose and red eyes and his name is Broccoli-saurus."

October 10, 2009- IZ was using the potty after eating a big meal and said, "Those French fries made me poop! Look! Lets go get some more so I can poop again!"

September 30, 2009- IZ and I were taking a bath and he informed me that I was Free Willy and he was the tiny, tiny boy. I think it's time to go on a diet.

September 16, 2009- We were walking to the park and saw some little kids playing peewee football. I asked IZ if he wanted to play football someday. He said no. I asked him what he wanted to play, expecting him to say soccer or baseball. He, with out even thinking, said "Duck duck goose!"

August 5, 2009- We went to the county fair and decided to ride a few rides. The Ferris wheel was closed so IZ and I rode another circle ride. It was too much for him and he cried through the entire thing. He shouted things like, "This ride makes me creepy" and "I'm just a little boy! I want to go home!" Bad mommy.

July 3, 2009- IZ climbed into bed with us at 6 am and was snuggled up watching cartoons. I was nursing EB and Thom started snoring. IZ looked at me and said, "Daddy is sleeping crazy! Listen!"

June 30, 2009- After walking through the house to find several places where a marker had been used, on walls, on the stove, on the TV, on the Wii, I asked IZ if he did it. "Yes" was his reply. When I inquired why he said "But it's my job!" I should have figured it out when earlier he said he was going to work.

May 23, 2009- IZ wanted to watch a DVD and so I took the one I was watching out, which was a Friends season, and when he saw it said, "Mommy, I am sick and tired for Friends."

May 14, 2009- When IZ is doing something, he will often say, "faster, faster, evil faster!" (Evil instead of even)

March 2009- While visiting my parents, IZ got to try his first marshmallow bunny. He took a bite and put it on a chair. A few minutes later, we heard his shriek, "My rabbie!" upon seeing it stuck to Gramma's unsuspecting bottom.
