Sassy little turd!

So I have lots to blog about... Ben's NEW job... we found out what the gender of our baby is... Abbi turned 18 months... Lots going on here, but I need to write down a little about my day.

First of all I have to say that it is sort of a miracle that I made it through the day without stabbing myself with a fork AND all of my children survived.

The day stared out with lunch with Beth at Applebee's. We sit down and the waitress comes to get our drink order. Madie takes one look at her and says

"You look evil! Like your eyes - they are creepy!"

Oh my gosh I was so embarrassed and Beth and I had a hard time not laughing. Madie then proceeded to demonstrate to the waitress what her face looked like.

Yep that is my kid! I am pretty sure we can never show our faces at Applebee's again.

About 5 minutes later I feel something wet and warm on my lap... Abbi's diaper had leaked on me. Awesome. So I go in the bathroom and change her and bring her back out pants-less. I told Beth that I considered taking my wet-pee-soaked pants off too but that I thought that might be frowned on.

The rest of the day was filled with kids throwing tantrums, kids trying to drink shampoo and getting things ready for Slade's birthday party tomorrow.

Like I said... I made it without stabbing myself with a fork.

Still Alive!

I am well aware that I have been an extreme slacker lately. I would like to say I have a good excuse and well... I do, or at least I think it's a good excuse.

You see I have been working on a project. Remember my last post when I said I was going to clean out all of my closets and get them all Pinterest pretty? Well that isn't the project I have been working on.

The one I have been working on takes 9 months and at the end of it you get a cute little baby.

Yep we are having another baby. We are super excited and as you can imagine there is some serious begging going on at our house when it comes to it being a girl or a boy. I guess my kids think we can put in requests and that is what we get.

We are due September 29. Considering that Abbi's birthday is September 27th and Madie's is October 3rd we have been joking that we only have one fertile week a year.

We had a bit of a scare with this baby for a while there. At my 8 week ultrasound they saw what they thought was a molar pregnancy in addition to the baby. Don't know what that is? I didn't either. So I did what any idiot would do and I googled it... I officially freaked myself out! I spent the next month getting a bunch of ultrasounds done and seeing a specialist. They have finally decided that what they were seeing is a bunch of blood filled cysts and not a molar pregnancy. I have one more appointment with the specialist next week (which I will be about 15 1/2 weeks) and if everything still looks good at that appointment then I won't have to see the specialist anymore.

As far as how I am feeling this time around I am feeling much better than I did with Madie or Abbi although I have had some killer migraines. I can actually cook and eat meat with this baby. I also have worse acne than I ever had when I was going through puberty, which is pretty awesome.

Anyway hopefully I can do a better job keeping up from now on.
