Tires

Taylor woke up this morning and was crying because her pee pee hurt. She had a boo boo from falling into the bed earlier this week so thought it was that but she kept screaming everytime she would go to the bathroom and had to go every five minutes and nothing would come out. Ahhhh said the Jen. I have had these before. So I call the AMIC and get her in at noon and of course it is 8 in the morning so I am just trying to get her through the morning. Finally noon comes and she goes in. Screams all the way through peeing in the cup. I drop it in the toilet and hurry and grab it to catch more pee. Ugh...seriously? Pee all over my hand. I stood at the sink scrubbing my hands for like 5 minutes. I can stand poop but I HATE the smell of pee!!! Finally get everything cleaned up and we go give the nurse the cup. So we go sit in the waiting room because it takes 30 minutes to run the lab on the urine. Taylor crying the whole time saying it hurts. Finally go back and the doctor asks a bunch of questions. After a million questions on why I would think it is a UTI she tells me that the labs did say it was a UTI...really? I have one kid crying because he is hungry and the other one screaming in pain and you sat me down to ask me 5 minutes worth of questions about something you already knew the answer too? Really? Finally get her script and then we have to go sit in the main pharmacy that deals with the entire hospital. Like 45 minutes later we finally get her meds. Gees!! She feels better now and that is good.

Thumb Tacks

YAY!!! Doug will be home soooo soon!! I am so excited!!! I still have a lot of stuff to do but you know how it goes. I have both cars back and fixed so I will be able to get them all clean. Plus the house and I need to do more shopping. I am sooo excited.
So I got my labs back from the doc and my Thyroid is low. She was explaining the symptoms of it and I was cracking up. Fatigue, weight gain, losing hair, poor memory and forgetfullness....sounds like motherhood to me. I never knew there was another reason! Still I will go in 3 months from now to get tested again to see if it will fix itself. I hope it will because I heard the medication makes you feel poopy. I am not very good at doctors telling me what I can and cannot do. I got yelled at a lot for moving around so much after Brecken was born but I never really sat around with either of them. Too much life to get on with. So I am just hoping that it is from just having a kid 6 months ago or just getting off my period. She said that can make the levels weird because I seriously feel fine and all those symptoms I feel like are from having a 3 year old and a 6 month old and being a single mom right now. BUT NOT FOR LONG!!!
We also decided not to go to Sandy Cove yet. We will be getting back from a very long vacation just to go right back up there so we are going to wait. Still looking forward to the beach for a week though!!
Yay for life!! God is good:)

6 Month Check Up

So today we went in to have Breckens 6 month check up. He weighed in at around 15 pounds which is underweight...lol...really funny since he is a chubs and he is in the 45th percentile for his height. So he is short and skinny...lol. Total opposite compared to Taylor who was way tall and considered overweight. Cracks me up. Anyways the doctor checked him and he has everything he needs to have as a 6 month old boy. He is ahead on all his learning things except the rolling over. That actually might be more my fault then his since he spends more of his time in his excersaucer then on the floor. Big dog paws scare me a little. He did say that the molar was weird since babies usually pop the bottom and top first and usually do not pop the molars until 14 months. Then we went in for his shots. The lady giving him the shots remembered him and it was pretty funny because she kept telling everybody he was her baby. Then he screamed through the shots...poor baby boy:( So I grabbed him up and hugged him tightly but as I did he was giving the lady who gave him the shots a dirty look!! Really dirty like he was seriously glaring at her! I couldn't help but laugh and he then looked at me with a shocked look!! It was so funny because he was looking at me like "Why are you laughing?! Did you see what she did to me!". I laughed harder...too funny. He is too young to have hurt feelings! So all was good. He came home and slept. So my baby is 6 months and healthy. I seriously look at him (most of the time while he is sleeping) and think wow...this is what I was born to do. He is beautiful. Just like his sister. Kind of gets me excited for the next one. We will see...Doug gets home soon but kind of hoping God puts it off for a couple months so we can enjoy our little family without mommy feeling like poop. Well life is awesome and I am just getting really excited to have my better half home.

VACATION!!!

Yes I need one and I think I deserve one!! So Dougs whole family is coming out. Dougs brother and sister in law with their daughter are coming out here on the 18th of August and staying with us until the 22nd in which we will all drive down to Myrtle beach and stay there in a condo from the 22nd to the 29th!! Woo hoo!! I am sooo excited!!! After that we will come home for a week before we drive out to Sandy Cove for Labor Day weekend. Did I say that I am sooo excited!! I was looking around thinking about what I had to pack and we still have 6 weeks. Haha. Doug will be home sooo soon. I cannot wait. I have a million trillion things to do but probably will not do any of them :)
Brecken goes in for his 6 month check up on wednesday. He is getting so big so fast. I go in for my check up tomorrow. I was thinking of cancelling but my knee has been hurting a lot lately. I think I did something to it while running one day. So I will have them deal with that. I went to the Wives of Warriors group on saturday and it was awesome. I met a girl that is trying to get pregnant with her first and we got to talking and of course by the end of our conversation we were in tears. Really nice girl! I really hope they get pregnant. I also met a new friend in Taylors dance class. Our daughters were talking and I really liked her mini van and so I asked her about it and we get along really good and of course our daughters. We started hanging out a little bit. I am glad. I need some friends with kids Taylors age...poor girl is stuck around boys all the time.
What else would you all care about....my Jeep is going to cost half of what the other place told us so that is really great news. Now I have to take in Dougs car for his brakes. Why not right? Ugh I wish we lived back in the day where you had a horse and carriage....way cheaper to shoot the stupid horse.
We went to Monkey Joes and Taylor had a blast. We are going back monday with friends so that will be fun. Other than that I am busy everyday these next couple weeks which will make it go fast!! Yay for husbands coming home from deployments!! Well I will update after Breckens 6 month appointment!

6 months!!

Yeah my baby is 6 months today. I cannot believe he is already so big. Doug should be home before he turns 7 months!! Anyways yesterday was the 4th of July. It was a lot of fun and Taylor has the bruises, burns and fat lip to prove it. The poor girl had a blast but she kept running into things and she tripped over Buddys legs while she was geniusly trying to jump over them. Then when she was out doing sparklers she apparently thought giving herself a tattoo was a good idea and put the hot metal on her wrist. She gets all of this from daddys side of the family. I had to wrap it up in gauze this morning. Poor baby:( Other than that we all had a lot of fun just hanging out with friends and a lot of baby boys. I wish Doug could have been there. Next year. Well he will be home soon!!! Here are some pics.

First Tooth!!

So Brecken popped his first tooth!! Doug missed it again!! Taylor did not pop hers until almost 10 months so I was figuring he would be back to deal with the teething. Nope. The really weird thing is it is a molar. He has been really fussy and drooling so I put my finger in his mouth to check seriously not expecting to feel anything and there it was. A little white bump. I am so bummed Doug missed it!! That is one of the things I wanted him here for:( Oh well. Next time maybe. Although the way he has been acting I should have known. I could not figure out why he was acting so weird! You would think I never had a kid...geez! Drives me nuts that I am doing things like a first time mom. Anywho that is that. My little man has a tooth and decided that made him a big boy so he grew out of 2 diapers too. On too 3s.
