14 1/2 weeks prego

Well I am almost in my 15th week of my second pregnancy. I've felt the baby move this past week. I wasn't sure at first but have a lil more. Not everyday but here and there. Cody is still in Vegas for work. He hasn't gotten to go out once, not saying its a bad thing lol. I'm looking forward to finding out the babies sex. We're really hoping for a girl, since we already have a boy. However we will be happy either way. We go next weekend for Connor's botox appointment in Phoenix. Nervous about it but we will get through it. Lots of activites this month. I am finally getting hair appts and photoshoots lined up, so between those, school and appts for connor and myself I usually stay pretty busy. There is several Halloween activites going on too, so I hope we have a great time, since Connor will be able to enjoy it a little more this year.

Update September 2010

So lots to catch up on! We are pregnant with baby # 2! I'm in my 13th week. Hopefully we'll find the sex out late next month! Other news school is SUPER busy this semester. I am taking Accounting, Ethics, Marketing, and Management. A stressful load thats for sure. I can't seem to concentrate very well, not sure if thats because of the pregnancy or what but hopefully it subsides soon! Connor has been on a medicine called Baclofen to help with loosening up his left side. We go Oct 18 for his first set of botox injections that are suppose to help even more so in loosening up his muscles so he can use his arm and hand much better. His leg is effected but not as much as his arm and hand. His wrist is VERY tight and he has a hard time twisting it around. We're exciting and nervous at the same time about the new plan. He's doing wonderful tho. He talks great for his age. At his last dr appt for 2 years. he was 97 percentile for his height and 75th for his weight. He's a big boy! Very smart. He's into electronics. He loves cell phones, calculators, computers, etc you name it. Well I will update after his appt in Oct!

Thought I would do an update of post paxil... I've definitely encountered withdrawals. I also stopped birth control. I'm hoping to start losing weight. I was at 139 on the 5th. The medicines made me gain weight in addition to bad eating habits while Cody was deployed. I've changed up my diet some. Trying to cook healthier. I've also cut back on sodas. Not as much as I would like though!. We got a water machine for the house so were drinking a lot more water, which is wise out here in the desert. Cody is back on nights so we haven't seen really seen much of him around here. Next week he starts the range so we should start seeing him a lil more. I've began doing hair again which feels great. These past two weeks have been crazy though. We all got this stomach flu that's going around, then Connor and I have horrible sinus/allergies problems. Friday (4/16/10) I started the "Friday Fit Club" for wives here on base. It was a work out! My legs have been sore all weekend. I really need to lose about 15 to 20 lbs. A lot of people are discouraging that, because I'm "smaller" than they are but I need to get back to my "normal" weight, which is about 120. Everyone has their normal and goal weight. Whats right for me may not be right for you and vise verse. Tomorrow I am starting p90x. I will post updates on here with before and after pictures.

Changes

Wow, it's been a while since I last made a post. Things are going good here in Yuma. It's already starting to get into the 90's and it's just now April. Connor is getting to be such a big boy! He is very smart and talks SOOOO much. He will definitely fit in well with the family back in Texas. We are planning to have an early birthday party for him while we are visiting in May. School is going pretty well. Not so great in Math but I'm trying. My Meteorology class is kinda tough too but I get by lol. Cody just graduated from Corporals Course and is now going back to night crew as of tomorrow night. So maybe I'll be able to go to the gym or just for a run around the block during the day. I'm trying to get word out that I can cut hair to make a little extra money. I'm trying to lose a little weight that I put on while Cody was deployed, due to stress, eating bad, and medications. I officially stop taking my Paxil tomorrow. Today was my last day. I've done pretty good I think. I went to a dr. that started winging me off of it slowly. I'm going to be glad to get these meds out of my system. I have one more month of birth control and were still talking about whether were going to start trying for baby #2 or wait longer. We'll see!
