Lucky 13?

Well maybe 13 will become my lucky number. I'm due on 9-13 and I've completed 13 weeks of pregnancy. Today I am 13 weeks 2 days... Wow, I can't believe i made it into that elusive 2nd trimester with no complications! With Kaeden I spotted at 7 weeks and was sure I was losing him, this time around I've had nothing but morning sickness, sore boobies, etc. so it seems to be progressing very normally. The reason I say lucky 13? is because my all day nausea is almost gone! I still puke usually once or twice a day, but I'm not feeling so yucky anymore, AND I've managed to clean up the house two days in a row!!!! That sure wasn't happening a couple weeks ago LOL I have gotten to the point where I'm having problems brushing my teeth as I did in Kaeden's pg, only this time around it hit much later. I'm trying to figure out a "system" so I can get them as clean as possible LOL Like I brush the back teeth first so I can get all the puking done and over with, then start over and go for the front and a quick run over the back teeth with the toothbrush. Gross I know, but it's a fact of my daily life now.

Lil bean must be growing and getting bigger, we were listening to him/her on the doppler last night and the heartbeat was nice and loud. I love hearing that sound, especially when I can find it super easily. I think the baby wanted to play hide and seek though as each time I'd pinpoint that nice strong h/b the baby would move away LOL It was cute though. Kaeden insists on turning the doppler on and off for me while we listen to the baby. I can't wait for him to really realize there is a baby in my tummy. I can't wait for him to be able to put his hands or head on my belly and be bumped around by the bean :)

I had my cardiologist appt on the 4th and as suspected they found nothing wrong with it. Doc isnt' sure my heart even races like I told him it did. He said if it was going 240 I'd pass out. I tried to tell him it's done this since I was 6 yrs old and YES it does go 240+ when it has it's little episodes... Sheesh... So next time it happens I am to go to the ER and insist on an EKG while it's doing it before they do anything else. I am going to get my dr records from 1991 to current, but most of my activity with the docs was prior to then so I'm not sure how much good it's going to do. Guess we'll wait and see. I also had an echocardiogram done on Monday the 7th and they said everything looked boring and normal, although my heartrate was definitely on the quick side. Do you have any idea how badly it sucks to have an u/s of your heart when you're DYING to see the bean in your belly?!?!!?!?!??! LOL

This afternoon I am going to do something brave or dumb. Tuesday March 8th Steven lost his drivers liscense due to the DUI he got on New Years Eve. Even though the courts dropped it from a DUI to a NEG1 our Department of Liscensing suspended his liscense for 90 days. OH what great fun this is going to be. For the first 2 days Steven walked to work and got rides home. This morning he got a ride cause his back hurt so badly. But now whenever I want anything in town I've gotta get off my A** and go drive and get it myself. How fair is that? LOL So the reason I'm doing something brave or dumb is, Steven has an alcohal/drug evaluation he is required to go take in Moses Lake at 3pm today. I am going to load up all the kids and take him and then try to entertain them for an hour or two.. YIKES! I figure we'll go to the park, which wouldn't be too bad, but Sydney is a bit tough to entertain that long at the park. I just hope that he passes the evaluation so we don't have to pay for MORE classes that we can't afford right now.

Well Kids are getting out of control and I think it's time to step in.............. Gotta love the 2 yr and 5yr old's age gap and attitudes as they fight ALL DANG DAY LONG...........
