Waiting....

So if everything is on track my next period is to start March 4th, which means I got a long time to wait to see if we are preggers. But after reading up on some ovulation facts, I'm not letting the Hubs off so easily yet. My cycle has always been irregular so I might still be ovulating, so more making babies! This week I haven't felt the best; I've been burping a lot and have had sharp pains in my lower abs. Could it be a baby or just PMS? My dad's birthday is March 7th so it the preg test is positive we are gonna get him a coffee mug that says Grandpa on it! The kids I watch have the stomach flu. They had it this past weekend and thought they were all done.....But Morgan(5yrs. old) threw up at school and all day yesterday. She was such a trooper! Didn't cry once! She only got upset when we didn't get the bucket fast enough and she puked a little on her mom's couch. It was a tinnie tiny bit, Oxy clean took care of it, but she thought that I or her mom would be mad. Laina( 3yrs.) must think puke in cool, it never phased her once. I was in the kitchen making their lunch and asked if Morgan was OK. Laina called back, "No she's puking, but I'm holding her hair for her." Such a little sweetheart. Can't say the same for the baby Quinn(1yrs.). He wanted that puke bucket in the worst way. I had to put him in his highchair every time Morgan started to puke, or Quinn was over there trying to take the bucket!

I've also been looking on-line about sewing your own cloth diapers....I can sew somewhat, but I think I'll try to hone my skills before I try cloth diapers. I would be nice if I learn to sew better, to make my own. I just think of all the cute patterns I could use! Well, that's pretty much all I can think of for today. Weather man says we are gonna get 6-10 inches of snow Thursday, so maybe I'll log on tomorrow!

Baby thoughts

Well my first cycle of TTC(try to conceive) is over. We will know around March 4th if we were successful or not. I would like to say it was all fun TTC, but it wasn't. My DH(dear husband) got performance jitters and couldn't "finish the job" a couple of times. This made us have a heart to heart and figure out what was bugging him. Turns out he's just worried about being a good father and thinks if I don't conceive this cycle somehow I'll think less of him. Silly boy! I know I made the mistake of circle my peek days on our fridge calender, so I know the pressure was building. If nothing this cycle, I won't tell him my peek days next cycle. Anyway, after the heart to heart I told him we would skip a day to give him a chance to relax. The next day he was fine, I gave him a back rub and sent him to bed early. But the following day hehe! I had the day off so I spent the day getting ready. Took a bath and used my VS lotion, started a fire in our fire place and make pasta for supper. I made sure my hair look good and did a little bare mineral make-up. I add some mascara and my wet and wild black eyeliner, just smugged around my eyes very lightly. I gave a very nice smokey eye look. Because I had a fire going in the house all day the temp. was around 85 in the house. I got out my tightest tee( I normally wear for bed in summer) and my Lucky shorts for Old Navy( they are boxers for girls with 4 leaf clovers on them). I also put on my sport socks which almost come up to my knee. When DH came home his jaw nearly hit the floor. Foxy, I think is the word he used. I played hard to get. I ignored his stares and kept making supper. " Why are you dressed like that?" he asked. "Cuz it's warm in here" was my answer. It didn't take longer before we were in the bedroom.
Other news, we are looking for a new car. Well, actually an SUV. DH wants a Volkswagen Tuareg, I really don't care as long as it can fit kids. Did I mention I'm a nanny? Well, I am. I have the best job in the world. I watch 3 kids, 2 girls and 1 boy. Morgen 5, Aliana 3 and Quinn 1. I have been with them since Quinn was 4 months old. The family is great and the kids are well behaved too. Their mom, Steph, asked if me and DH were TTC and I told her yes. She told me that when we do and the baby comes that I can bring the future child along to work! How cool is that! They are such a nice family! Back to the Suv, DH wants a Suv so we can hall stuff, great, but my credit....is there something lower than 0? I have been working on clearing it. The biggest one is my Student loans, but I contacted them and they have a program for repayment, if I make 9 payments on time they will take it off my credit score. So I'm just waiting to see if I can get on that program. The other stuff on my credit, ugh, I'll have to suck it up and pay it. A couple years ago my little bro. had the bright idea I should by a house and rent the rooms out to him and his friends. I needed cash so fine I did. I lived on the top floor and his 3 friends and him lived down stairs. That lasted 3 months, he was too loud and I didn't want to get busted for underage drinkers. I transferred the house to my brothers name and thought that was the end of it. Two months after that I get a really mean call from my parents about how I'm stealing money form little bro.??? We had a separate bank account set up just for house payments and utilities, it was in mine and my little brothers name. I didn't put anymore $ in there after I moved out and gave all the checks to my little brother. So I went to the bank to see what was up. Turns out one of his friends stole a package of checks and was writing checks to himself and signing my name. The signature didn't look anything like my, but since his mom was a teller at this bank she never checked the signature! He took out a cell in my name and a credit cards. I'm still trying to figure out how he got my SS number. Well he ran, but trying to clear up identity theft is a hard thing to do. I don't have that much debt, with my student loans I think it's around $6000. So this is gonna be my spring cleaning project.

Well, My first blog!
If you haven't viewed my profile I'll fill you in a bit. I got married this past October 11, 2008. We had great weather and it was just how I has always pictured it. The only mishap we had was in the rush to get to the church I forgot my under ware! Which I had made on customized girl and was my something blue. I didn't want to wear the ones I had on so I went down the aisle commando style! My husband also grew up in Fond du Lac and is 3 years older than me. We met at a friends graduation party and haven't been apart since! I have two brothers. My older brother JT is in the army and lives is Texas for now. He will be done with the Army in May. I think that's great since he's been over seas for 4 years. My mom was soo happy that he could make it home for my wedding. My little brother is gonna turn 22 in May and is a brat. He knows it and loves to rub it in. My dad opened his own business 4 years ago after spending 25 years at a factory job. My little brother is VP and pretty much makes his own hours. His pay is pretty nice too. See brat all the way. I think my family is crazy at times, but who doesn't. As far as my in-laws: Hubby has 2 sisters(love them both), his dad not a big talker, but his mom....Marie form Everybody Loves Raymound is a saint compared to her. I have had my ups and downs with her. The only good thing is that my Hubs is always on my side. That's all I can think of for know. My next post will be about trying to conceive!
