Howard Baby News

Well so I found out on Jan 7th I am pregnant. Confirmed it with a blood test on Jan.10th. Told the family on the 12th. I hope I can do better with this pregnancy then the others. I feel bad because with my son we did it all. He was our first so we took pics of the bellys growth and every two months after he was born. I have photo albums of everything up to his first Thanksgiving then I got sloppy and my husband lost his job so money was tight. We got pregnant with our daughter and because I was still fat from my son we didn't do the belly shots and money was tight so most of her pics are on my couch and none of her first three years are printed. I have just started printing pictures of her. Now I am pregnant again. Still fat from the last two c-sections so I wont be doing belly pictures again and I am hoping to keep up with baby books and pictures. My son wants me to have a boy and my daughter of course wants a sister. There have been jokes about twins since I am one. My first doctors appointment is Feb 13th. I got the same doctor that delivered my daughter so he knows me and his work. from what I can tell I am about five weeks now so I should be around eight weeks when I finally see a doctor.

I weighted in today at 149lbs. I quit soda completely this morning. I have 10 days left until my goal day. If I could loose 5lbs in that time I would be happy even though its not where I wanted to be. I do situps almost every night. I need to do my workout videos. What I really need is a drill sargent yelling at me to get my lazy a$$ up and try harder. I am uploading a picture of what my tummy looks like right now and I will update it every time I post.

Most days my day would start off with a soda and a special k bar, beef jerky for lunch and whatever Clay made for dinner.

Today I have had two tea's , a special k bar and rice

Accident

So I was going to post something about my weight but I could careless about that right now.On Saturday my husband and I had talked my sister and her husband into going on a motorcycle ride to Hollywood to see the sights. Tammy and Josh had been fighting and we wanted them to come and share our special day. Tammy was debating on riding with me to drop off the kids at my mother in laws or to just go on the bike. I forced her hand by leaving in the van with the kids before she came back outside. When I got to my M.I.L's they were all outside. Then my S.I.L.'s kids helped me get my kids inside while my M.I.L. told me that Clay was trying to reach me because they laid down. Going on little to no info I got back in my car with my S.I.L. and drove back to my sisters house. One street outside her house was the police and fire. I rounded the firetrucks to see both bikes down and an SUV. (the picture is above). I started to cry. I had been informed that all my family had been taken by ambulance to the hospital. Josh and Tammy (the bike in front) had impacted (hit) the SUV when she turned left infront of them. Clay (the bike in back) had two choices A. turn left and run over Josh and Tammy or B. lay it down and roll. He choose B. When he finally stopped rolling he found himself under the SUV with her back passenger tire at his rib cage. All are okay, minor injuries and roadrash. I could have lost three family members in one day. My neice and nephew could have been orphens and I could have been a widow. All because she was in a hurry to set up for a party. Please people learn from this ladys mistake. Slow down one extra minute won't kill you but it may kill someone else.

I know some poeple hate Motorcycles because they do certin things that make people mad. Yes, they cut through traffic. If they don't they will overheat. Yes, they sometimes move up to the front at a light. That is for visability. Yes, they have loud pipes. That is for survival, they rev them so you hear them. Next time you are around someone with a motorcycle ask them to honk the horn.... My sons bike horn is louder then a motorcycle horn.

Better days ahead.

I actually ate healthy today. I started the day with a yogurt, string cheese and tea. I ate a special k bar for snack. I had a yogurt, string cheese and salad for lunch. I have had water today and no soda so far.

Stressed

I am so stressed out right now because of our mortgage company. I am trying to decide what is best for our family.My husband doesn't make as much as he use too. We are struggling and the mortgage company is trying to mess with us. I am trying to figure out if we should short sale, forclose, or get lawyers and fight. I don't trust the lawyers we have right now. So Im thinking about asking my buddy Russell's Lawyer to look at my mortgage paperwork to see if I have a case. I am thinking about asking my friend and realitor Jeannie if I should Quick Sale and if I do quick sale do I move in with my mother in law to stay close to my job (my very good job with good caring people) or move up to my dad ( so Clay would have a good job with very caring people and me with my dads side of the family)???? So many options. We have two small children and we need to keep a roof over their heads. We have two no-working classic cars that have a history for both of us. We have two dogs (although one seems to be very sick). ugh to much to think about....

Day 3... Forgot to do Day 2

Okay so I missed yesterday. It was terriable anyway. Just imagine everything you can eat wrong I did. I thought to myself that I could put whatever I want on my post and nobody whould know.... But then I would be lying to myself. What does lying to yourself accomplish? I am going to do the shopping next week. Veggies, cheeses, yogurts, and salads...

Please if I could get suggestions and maybe things to avoid it would help

Day 1

Okay so I woke up this morning and weighed myself. I am 154.5 lbs. Im not crazy about this. I need to learn how to eat better. I am a very picky eater. My husband does the shopping and he buys junk. My son asked for bananas and my husband brings home cakes (ugh). I've come to the realization that I hide behind my kids in family pictures.

Yesterday was a bad day. I had dounuts, 2 sodas, 2 glasses of tea three chicken nuggets, an instant mac & cheese and tatter tots. oh and some peanut butter crackers and tortilla chips.

When I got home from work I did go in our pool (It goes up to my knees and Im short). I tried to do swimming but with my mother, husband, and two kids in there with me and it being such a small pool it wasn't going to happen.

I started the day off with 30 situps.
So today so far I have had for breakfast: one cake (I know), a soda and a special k bar
Lunch: tea and an instant mac & cheese
