Baby update

If your reading this your probably can see the ticker on the side that says 30 weeks complete 70 days to go... Now is a good time to mention that I HATE that ticker how can I have such a LONG time left and such a SHORT time left. Some days 70 days feels like forever other days it feels like the date coming to quickly.

The baby itself is doing well!! The baby is measuring big, 2 weeks bigger to be exact. They thought this calculation was maybe off so they did another ultrasound with another DR. same results. So what does that mean right now nothing I keep letting the baby grow!!! What does it mean later, maybe inducing at 40 weeks instead of 42 weeks if needed this time or maybe nothing at all.

I am doing well, I have been very emotional this past week missing my friends very much. With new friends here wanting to celebrate the baby with me I often feel guilty for wishing I was with my "forever friends" The ones that know my likes and dislikes without asking the ones that I can cry for no reason with and that give me avocados for my birthday and have already seen me (actually most of me LOL!) trying to nurse and realize its not easy for me. I am so excited to celebrate this life growing inside me and am blessed to have people that want to celebrate with me but it is a bitter sweet time.

RUN!

I just finished reading RUN! 26.2 STORIES OF BLISTERS AND BLISS by DEAN KARNAZES (an ultra-marathoner and adventurer which is as crazy as it sounds) Actually Ryan read this book first then passed it to me because it was so good. Well I could not agree more!!!!!

This book was so inspirational it made me want to run ultra-marathons, well until I realized I need help off the sofa right now maybe after the baby then! I have never read a book that so perfectly describe the emotional roller coaster running gives me. His mixture of antidotal stories and inspiring quotes gives the book a light hearted approach to an intense sport.

Plus I LOVE anyone who combines running with eating pizza and chocolate covered espresso beans. (For those who don’t know after trying to find an energy bar I liked I gave up and started eating chocolate chip cookies instead!!!)  

  I really want to spill the beans on all the good parts but I’ll let you read it. This is a must read for any athlete or semi-athlete!

 (HOLLY go get this book ASAP then call me and tell me what you think!!!)

Bad mommy

Ugghhh I had a BAD mommy moment.... did it happen at home in private behind closed doors? NO! It happened at Summers baseball game. Summer is playing catcher and she was not catching the balls on purpose because we had upset her in some way.

 For the past month we have been fighting a battle of wills with Summer's moods, it has been so bad I am actually scared for her to get any older I do not feel like I can everyday for the next 14 years. She gets angry and purposefully is disrespectful to the person who dared to cross her. I digress (kind of)...

Well today I lost it with her attitude and in front of two teams and over 50 people I told her that if she did not catch the ball I was taking her out of baseball. This would not have been so bad if the other people were aware she was not catching on purpose. Instead I looked like that mom the one who yells at her children during baseball games. One parent even kindly told me it was just a game and she was doing fine...

I told Ryan he has to take her the rest of the year because I do not want to show my face on the ball fields ever again....

I so have to say if we are keeping score Summer won that round....
