Simone: I am so SO glad that things are working out and plans are getting put into place!  I can imagine how scary it must be for you and your family!  And YAH for loosing weight!  I will need to do some pretty significant weight loss once baby comes!  Thankfully I am going to have a great work-out spot downstairs away from everyone to do it!  (I do this AMAZING post-natal bootcamp video, but look extremely silly doing it!  So I have not done it--but now that the basement is a "free" zone--I can do it down there!  So yippee!!!)

Tara: Sounds like a plan for the IUI!  Some things you just gotta roll with the punches eh?  Ya--I am not sure what we are going to do.  It was when my assistant was out of the room so the sub was alone--and one of the students who had major meltdowns both days had been gone most of the week, mom went back to work, and overall doesn't do well with subs.  So...we shall see!

Peanuut: Ya--it hasn't been fun.  We ended up taking Noah in today--IV fluids and Zofran for him, but he is still not doing well :(  He ended up wanting to eat pizza when he got home--but probably about the time the IV Zofran was wearing off he started gagging :(  No throwing up--but definite gagging.  I gave him another dose of the Zofran (we got a prescription thank goodness!) so hopefully that will help!  Your rash does NOT sound fun :(  I have an odd rash on my torso!  I have an OB appointment tomorrow and I am going to have them look at it! 

AFM: Spent yesterday afternoon at the ER with Noah.  He just was very lethargic and couldn't keep anything down.  Even when we left I was a little nervous--as he had gotten almost a full bag of fluids and still hadn't "perked up" yet--but this morning he seems to be doing better!  Plus, they gave us some Zofran to help keep his tummy calm.  Not throwing up since yesterday AM--so that is a good sign!   OB appointment for me today!  Nervous and anxious--but excited to hear the heartbeat! :)   And HELLO 2nd TRIMESTER!!  :)  Woot woot!

Nicole- your a better women then me. If I wasn't feeling well I would have told dh he was on his own to cook for the game. I hope you get some rest and this bug finally goes away. 

Christine- when Kale was give it fluids they expected him to be bouncing around that night but he was still really lethargic. Even the next morning he was still acting so sick and I thought I was going to have to take him back in the my mil came and made him rice water. Pretty much made rice and before the rice absorbed all the water she poured it into a cup. It looked gross but I tasted it and tasted just like water, but had some nutrients from the rice and hydrated better. He drank it and was all perked up. No more problems after that. 

Isra- yes I will deffinatly be talking to my dr tomorrow. It's driving me crazy. Potty training still is going really well. I would say he is trained but still needs some help getting his pants back on. But he's even taken himself a few times. Snow is so pretty but I prefer to go see it not or it to come to me. Snow is rare here so are roads are very dangerous to drive in. I lost 2 kids in my class due to icy roads. One in 5th grade and the other our senior year. So I do not drive with ice or snow. 

Simone: 3.8 is awesome so don't give up. Set small goals don't look at the whole picture it can be overwhelming. Congrats. 

Afm: got Kales big boy bed all put in yesterday. So today I have to put everything back in order and re organize. We realized we need to get some big kid decorations. Everything is still his baby decorations. But he doesn't seem to notice. I've decided I just need to get down to it and start this whole rearranging to get ready for baby now. I know it's really early we just have so much to do that if we don't start it won't get done. 

Amanda: This week! I just hope I can get cleared to use it now :) I know, it's always the way ;) The same thing happened when he bought his new iPhone 5 and I'm yet to get my upgrade which he was supposed to help me with way before doing his, blah :P ;) How did it go with Chase's play date and potty time?

Hi Tara :) Effects of Clomid are still upping your temp huh, more hot flashes? 1 more week till your u/s! FX'd ;)

Christine: Wow! you've been doing some good posting girl :) I hear you about needing Zofran 3 times!  Except, I took it less over the weekend so I wouldn't run out. I had to refill with the new directions, and  I couldn't pick it up until after work today. Yes, we ARE 13 weeks! What's with the dizziness and nausea still being here though :P I guess we're just one of the lucky one's he he ;) Oh no! I'm so sorry you had a relapse of the sinus infection and now have an ear infection :( Poor Owen and Noah having to go to the hospital :( And, your hubby being sick too :( Did Owen have the Rotavirus vaccine? How about Noah? I recall Aaron having that a few times in his first year. I wonder if it's contagious when you're not immune to it through the vaccine? It's just strange that all 3 have the bug together, and Owen's is the only one with a diagnosis to explain it. I hope things settle down at school so you can concentrate on getting yourself better. Sending lots and lots of GL vibes for your appt today ♥

Nicole: Kale loves to swim. When he was two my dh and I were sitting next to him at the edge of the pool with our feet in the water trying to get used to the cool temp. We both looked away for a second and he jumped in. My mom and sister both gasped that's how I knew he went in. Thankfully my dh was a lifeguard for many years and his jump in reaction was very fast. He was scared, but ok. We made him stay in the water so he wouldn't be scared of the water and after 20 minutes he was ready to be on his own. We do have a swim tube for him it goes on like a shirt and the tube is around his chest and under his arms. A lot more comfortable then a life jacket. We stay close but he swims all over the place on his own. I did use some cortaid after the chlorine exposure and it did help. I'm really nervous now about our three day vacation to the waterpark though. I may not be able to be in the water as much as I was planning. Oh well I'll bring some good books and make sure to rinse off real well after I do swim. 

If we do have another boy I just figured I'd use the same decorations as well to save money. We got kale a simple blue comforter but he picked out some Spider-Man sheets. We looked into the wall decals. The problem is he switches his interest every other week between dinosaurs, monster trucks, cars, super heros and transformers. We thought we might get him some $5 superhero or whatever posters he picks out for now. 

Working for the family business is great. We do have a lot of flexibility. We do have our moments but for the most part we get along really well. My sister used to work there as well, my bil and brother still do.  I think that was all the questions you asked. 

Christine: glad your appointment went well. I'm so nervous for mine tomorrow. I'm not sure why. I'll be glad when its over.
