Little House on the Island

I think we may begin our own TV show once we move up. It makes for a cute title... Just a little take off of Little House on the Prairie. I am getting pretty excited about moving up! I only have 6 weeks left of working for the school, and then I AM FREE! Chris and I need to find a house with yard space so that Joe can run around. Joe is a family member, so the house has to work for him too! So there is this house down the street from may parents place that Chris has seen from the outside. We know that it needs work, but we want something that we can make our own... so we think this may work. I have never seen it, but I hope to at least see some pictures before making the BIG decision! We can rent it to start out, and then work towards buying it, once we get on our feet!

Well, that is about all I have for today, but I will leave you with a picture of Gabby giving her baby kisses!

Hard Boiled Eggs

Okay, so I feel like a retard! I seriously can't cook anything! So, I was cooking the eggs so that I could make Chris some deviled eggs (he loves them, and I have the day off from work). Anyway... As I was peeling the shell off one of the last eggs, I could tell the yolk was not fully cooked, so I popped the de-shelled egg on a plate and cooked it in the microwave for 20 seconds. When I put the knife in it to cut it in half, it EXPLODED!!! There is egg ALL over my kitchen!!!! UGH!

**Now, you all know what a bad idea it is to let me in the kitchen alone!**

A wee little update....

Okay, so I have found that the closer I get to the end of the school year, the less time I have spent on blogger. Well, this is our update, in a nutshell....

* Pregnancy is going well... I only have mild tummy issues
* Gabby is turning into a whinney toddler (UGH!)
* 7 weeks until my contract is over!!!
* 8ish weeks until our "possible" moving date
* My grandparents have been married for 50 years!!
* My parents should be close to Canada, if not already back across the boarder.
* The house has not sold yet :(
* We have not done much packing
* I need to throw away a lot of junk that I have saved due to my upbringing as a packrat!
* I have yet to gain weight, actually I have lost a few pounds!


I am sure I forgot something... I may add to this list, so check back.... My next step is adding pictures to my photo blog... so check that too....

New Pictures

Oh, and I went for my first appointment with my new OBGYN.... I am SO unhappy! My doctor was supposed to be a woman.... this was clearly a man, they do not allow children in the doctors office, so Chris and Gabby had to go sit in the car.... and they only do ultrasounds on Thursdays from 8am-2pm.... so if I am to have one, I have to take time off work! Needless to say, I am looking for a new OBGYN.... they were nice and all, but it just seemed off... ya know.

We are registered....

We spent about 2 hours at BabiesRus today. And I think we did a better job this time around! I guess we learned what you really need by having Gabby around. Anyway, feel free to check it out, and let me know if there is something you recomend that we add.

Oh, and by the way... this baby does not like Pizza!!!!

Differences....

Well, now that I am nine WEEKS pregnant, I thought that I would begin my list of things that are different this pregnancy from the last.... The easy way out would be to say everything, but that would make this post short and boring... so for those who have never been through a pregnancy.... this one's for you.

With Gabby: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~With Current Pregnancy:
NEVER got sick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sick to my tummy often
Very energetic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Always sleepy
Calm and relaxed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Moody and always yelling at
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chris (poor guy!)
Little or no emotional break downs ~~Cry at everything! Even
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~commercials on TV
Completed all work duties on time ~~~Late to work, turning in
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~paperwork late


I am sure there is more that I am forgetting, and I will most likely update my list as this pregnancy goes on. This all being said, I think that porcelain throne is calling my name....

Birthday!!!!

Okay, we had Gabby's party today! It was fun, and she really seemed to have a good time. I posted some pictures on Gabby's Picture Blog. Check them out..... We wish everyone could have been there.

Feeling pregnant...

This morning, I for the first time ever, experienced morning sickness during pregnancy! That's right, I never got it with Gabby! This little booger inside of me better be a boy! Man I felt like pooh this morning, but I did make it to work, and on time too. I left my house and hour later than normal, obeyed all the traffic laws, and I was to work with 15 minutes to spare. Granted I felt like you know what, and everyone could tell. The kids were very good today, so I did not have to raise my voice, not that I have much of a voice to raise right now.

Well, that is about all I have for this evening. Not much new going on.

Congrats to Angela and Morgan on their B-E-A-UTIFUL baby girl, who just so happens to share a birthday with Gabby :)

Already?!?!?!?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY GIRL!!!!!!

Gabriella Louise turned 1 year old

this morning at 8:15am!!!!

YEAH Baby Girl!!!!

I'm Sick!

I have a viral infection! UGH! It's not fair! What did I do to deserve this? My voice is almost all gone... the doctor said to spend the rest of the week in bed... well, that is boring! GAbby is sick too... Chris just left with her to her doctor. We shall see how that works out. Her nose is so raw that it is bleeding... she screens when we wipe it.... We have to pin her down to clean it, and she tries to cover her nose with her hands. Poor thing! So, Gabby's birthday is tomorrow.... and her party is supposed to be on Saturday.... Well... we had to post pone it :(

****added around 7:20pm central****
Gabby's doctor visit went well.... As well as it could I guess. She has her first ear infection, and an infection around her little nose. Her birthday is tomorrow... poor baby!

The News is...

We are expecting... Yes, I am preggo again!

Not much new...

...except what can't be told. Hrm, ever had something like that happen? There are just certain things better left unsaid! I am hoping the next 3 and a half months go by very fast! I want out of Texas! I want to start our new life.... Why is the time going by so slow?

Yes I know....

I live a busy life... I hope things are calming down though... Mom and Dad's house is FINALLY listed, so Chris and I have our weekends back!!! This is something to celebrate, so we are going to the Monster Truck Jam... and yes, the kids are going too! Gabby will have her cute little ear plugs in! I look forward to the end of the school year more and more everyday! I really don't know what else to say..... So, that's my update..... check out our photo blog... I am putting new pics up write after I put this message up!


OH!!! I almost forgot... Gabby's new thing is saying "Hi Baby!"

Nothing new really...

Hey guys... I really don't have any new news to report.... We are trying to figure out what to do for Gabby's birthday, as it will be here in only a few weeks.... We want to have a small party and invite close friends and family..... But the house is not really big enough, and we are on a budget... We thought about Chuck-E-Cheeses, but Gabby would not really have any fun there..... Any suggestions?

Ice on the roads...

That's right... There is ice on the roads in Houston (TEXAS). They have closed most of the schools in Houston, including mine. The only major school district open is the one that Christian is in. He was not a happy camper when he sat there watching the news, only to find out that he is in one of the few schools that had to be there today. The majority of Houston is closed for the day... It is rather humorous actually. I have no problem driving in this weather, nor does Chris... But it is the rest of Houston that scares us. Houstonians are not accustomed to this weather! So, I will take this extra day with my Gabster, and live it up!

7th Heaven...

So if you really know me, you know that I love 7th Heaven... And I really hope that they keep it up, even though they already tried to end it once. Anyway, I came across this little quiz to find out which 7th Heaven cast member you are most like... and my answer came out.....


Wow, look at that shiny halo! You're like Lucy Camden -- virtuous, wholesome, and respectable. Are you sure you aren't a Camden yourself?

Take the Quiz yourself... How Virtuous Are You?
