Right now I am giving any one who hosts a Scentsy open house or book party a warmer of their choice for FREE! Right now is a great time to host a party cause Christmas is around the corner and people are starting their Christmas shopping. Scentsy also has a new Holiday insert/catalog that has all our new warmers/plug ins that are availabe for the holiday season, and let me just tell you they are SUPER cute. Let me know if you are interested!!
So I have to admit that I am a little vain and wanted our family Christmas card picture taken before I start showing more and my face gets fat. I know, I know, it's crazy, but I guess it's just me. Here is a preview of what my amazing friend did. Note: she had to deal with one ownry husband, one 3 year old who was more interested in the creatures around than photos, and one pregnant lady...this girl should win an award!!
In case you all were wondering about our baby world, here is your update. I am almost 14 weeks along and feeling better physically but my headaches/migraines have started. I had them for a good 4-5 weeks when I was pregnant with Jaxon, but they didn't start until I was about 16 weeks, so they are kind of early. It really sucks cause they never fully go away. The pain dulls but never really leaves. I am hoping they only last 4-5 weeks again cause anything longer than that and I may hurt someone!!
I went to the doc last week and everything looks good so far. I got to hear the heartbeat, that is always the fun part of the visit. I was suprised at how relaxed my doctor was at this visit. He asked how I was feeling, told me everything looks/sounds good and sent me on my way. I guess he figures I know what I am doing this time around! The fun part of clothes not fitting has started as well, and I notice laying on my belly at night is a tad uncomfortable. I have felt a little something in my belly, not quite sure if it's the baby or not. I can't wait for when I can feel it move. That is probably my favorite part of being pregnant!
So there once was a point when we were worried about Jaxon not talking. We had him evaluated and everything checked out ok, he was just being stubborn and taking his own sweet time (he comes by this honestly!!) Lately he is such a jabber box and some of the things he says seriously crack me up! I have to laugh at some of his mis-pronounciations too. Here are a few that make me chuckle every time I hear them:
Megos = Legos
Magets = Magnets
Tumkin = Pumpkin
Macadonald = Old Macdonald
He also has started with the 'why' phase. You tell him something and he asks why, you explain it and he asks why again. Sometimes I could seriously pull my hair out giving him explanation after explanation. The best is my response 'because I said so'...if that doesn't make me sound like my mother!! I have to say though, I really am enjoying this age (3). He is becoming Mr. Indepedant which is fun to watch and he is so inquisitive about things. I love having this little man in my life, I don't know what I would do with out him!!
So the last 2 weeks I have not wanted to do one stinking thing...I think I am in a funk, but on my way out. I am hoping that the dishes get done today and that the laundry that has been folded and in the basket for the last week gets put away also. I don't know what is going on, I just don't feel like doing anything. I get like this every once in a while and then I start beating myself up over not having things done, and Justin has to remind me that I just need to take care of the important things(Jaxon and myself)and that the other things can wait. I am so glad that I married such a patient and understanding man. I don't hear one complaint about him having to go digging through the laundry basket for work clothes or having to ask if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean. He is so good to remind me to lay off myself and just relax. For some reason I feel like my house needs to be as clean as a show house sometimes. Probably cause that is the way my house was growing up. Dishes have to be done, nothing out of place, beds made, etc. I need to remember that I am only human, 11 weeks pregnant, and chasing/entertaining a 3 year old and that stuff doesn't always matter. Dr. Laura said it best one day, "as long as your house is clean enough that DCFS doesn't want to take your kids from you, thats all that matters, and that for the next 18 years your house is a toy box." She also said that "if people don't like the way your house looks then they don't need to come over." I really agree with what she said that day and have tried to remember these words when I start to get down on myself.
In other positive news Jaxon and I have both been to the dentist and are cavity free. We also went to his 3 year old well check and he is right on target and very healthy. I went in to the doc, filled out some OB paperwork and had blood drawn (yeah I am still bruised a week later) and a pregnancy test (which Justin asked me if it came back positive! lol). I go in for my first OB visit on October 14th. I am looking forward to it, mainly hoping to hear a heart beat, but could totally go with out the nasty exam part. I will be 13 weeks along by then, I can't believe that we are almost 1/3 of the way through!! I had a dream the other night that it was a girl...hope that is a good sign! I feel pretty good for the most part, not so tired anymore and not as queasy. I am happy to say though that I have only thrown up once. Knock on wood!
Speaking of throwing up, Jaxon has a touch of the flu today. So I guess we will stay in our jammies and watch movies all day. Poor kid, I hate when they are sick, they are so miserable and there isn't much you can do for them!
Anyway, that's about all that has been going on. Watch for more updates to come!!
