Day three

Yesterday, I woke up with freckles all over my face. Only problem is I don't have freckles, so this spurred a trip to urgent care and then Quest for some blood work. We don't find out till later today what spurred the mysterious case of freckles across my face but I now know I do not look good with freckles.
Today I am ridiculously tired and super frustrated. I am missing yet another day of work, my house is a mess and my case of freckles is getting worse.  Please pray for me?  I'm feeling a little pathetic today.

Sick day

I suck at blogging right now.  Sorry, but I just can't keep up. It seems that being pregnant is way suckier than I remember.   Then add Annie, a new husband, work and a house full of dust, bugs and laundry and well, I'm sunk.  

Today I am home sick.   Annie and I caught some horrible bug that attacks your lungs.   All I do is cough which being pregnant causes me to pee my pants (it's not nearly as funny as it sounds), and poor Annie just stares at the tv coughing and asking if I will buy her what ever toy she sees on those wretched commercials.  Making me hate commercials, tv and toy companies all together.   After three hours I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I turned off the TV and made Annie get dressed.   She chose to put on a swimsuit and refused to wear anything else.   Too sick to protest I forced her outside for some sun and fresh air.   Not feeling up for a bike ride Annie and I headed into the kitchen garden.   She found bunch of carrots ready to come up, so we decided we would make chicken stock.   Four hours later the house is smelling like chicken stock, Annie is quietly sewing and I'm still peeing my pants every time I cough.

A mini family trip

 Thanks to our friends the Olivers, we got to go on an awesome mini trip this weekend. Annie got to roast marshmallows, play with six little boys all around her age (and thoroughly enjoy being the only big girl), fish (or watch Tex fish), and eat loads of sugar. It was a dream come true for a four year old little girl.

 Annie with her Disney princess fishing rod from Tex (which lasted about two minutes before she dropped it to play with the worms).

 

 Tex caught a fish pretty early on, but Annie was to scared to reel it in.

The first catch of the day!

Hold

Release!

We went for a short walk over to see the horses. Annie had more fun climbing the fence than looking at the horses far off in the distance.

 

No trip is complete without stopping for BBQ!  

We went to Missouri Hick for lunch on our way home.   

Annie thought their water mill was pretty cool.

30 is really exciting

We're having a girl!   I'm super excited as is Annie.   Tex is in a state of shock/panic, but I'm sure he'll come out of it soon.   Baby is getting a little more real to him everyday.  
We have been super busy lately.  Tex and I are both working a ton to try and prepare for my not working when the baby gets here.   And yesterday was my birthday.   I'm officially 30 now.   Not terribly excited.   But at least I feel a little more on track now.   Suddenly I'm Married, thirty and pregnant with baby number 2. 
Best birthday surprises?   Finding out we're having a girl, Tex buying me lots of maternity clothes and my Aunt Leslie sending me a giant box of Clothes! (which I am carefully packing away until after the baby is born).

Movie night

So It's been super crazy here.  With Tex's stuff in boxes everywhere and my stuff shifting out of the way for his, our house looks a like a tornado went through it.   Annie's favorite thing so far that Tex has brought into the house?  His TV of course.   She is constantly asking to watch a movie.   Tonight we decided to take a brake from work and have dinner and a movie night.   Annie picked Cheaper by the dozen 2.   She loves this movie and thinks it is hysterical.  Half way through they are making S'mores in the movie and it's true, I cannot resist s'mores.   So Tex lights a fire in the fireplace, Annie gets the marshmallows and I get the graham crackers and chocolate (another thing about me, I always have S'more ingredients on hand).

Tex lighting the fire

Annie is very focused on roasting her marshmallows

A little to focused perhaps

Banjo joined us after the food was all consumed

And then him and Annie snuggled by the fire for a little bit before bed.
