Announcing....

By
Well it has been quite some time since I last updated. I guess the biggest change withi n that time is the fact that we are expecting a third little blessing in January! We are really excited, and I would be lying if I said I am not at all anxious about what life with three little ones is going to look like. Me and Ian were playing with the kids last night. Ian was wrestling with Anthony while Luke was picking on me (stealing my glasses, trying to put his hat on my head, climbing all over me, etc). All of a sudden we both had the same though at the same time. "Where is #3 going to be in this mix?" I think it will be impossible to get my mind around until after he/she (probably he though. Just a feeling) is here. So I am 12 weeks and this pregnancy is nearly identicle to my other two. I think it is more similar to my first pregnancy though. I am probably going to gain a lot of weight. Expecting 35ish lbs again which I am ok with.(I only gained 18lbs with Luke) I am pregnant! I am not crazy about my weight when I am not pregnant, so I can't expect myself to be crazy about it now. As long as I am eating balanced meals, and not overdoing it on junk,then I am fine with whatever happens. I am dealing with a lot of headaches and aversion to smells. Very similar to my first. Anyway, I ask Anthony all the time if he thinks the baby is a boy or girl, and what we should name it. He always says boy, and his names include Fourty-Six, Goy, baby mommy, and my personal favorite, Pork Chop.

Spring is Finally Here!

By
Finally! I feel like Spring has finally come to stay. My allergies are killing me, and my skin is reacting to sunlight in true Jess fashion. I'm pretty sure I have solar urticaria. WebMD told me so, so it must be legit. Seriously though, I do have all the symptoms and it seems to be getting worse with age. It's kind of awful but the fresh air is so nice, I can't stand to stay inside. I likely am going to have to get some sun protective clothing. If I was worried about being cool before, wearing a long-sleeve swimsuit really will seal my fate as a very, uncool mom. hahaha! Last week was so nice out that we took the whole week off from school and focused on enjoying the weather and preparing for Easter. The homeschooling community likes to say that instead of taking off for snow-days, we take off for sun-days. I do love that flexibility.  Today, we started back up with school again but the boys still spent most of the day outside in the fresh city air, and our day was pre...

I never thought I'd ever...

Me and Ian were talking about how much lives have changed since we had kids. Not only the way we spend our time together as a family, but also our mentalities. For example, I was talking to a friend of mine who either just got a tattoo or was thinking about getting another, or both. I can't remember. Anyway, I have been wanting to get a tattoo, so I asked her how much she thought a small one would cost. She said "oh, not that much! Maybe 60 bucks?" I immediately said "Oh, well that's 3 boxes of diapers, which is too much".  I realized then, that I convert the cost of pretty much everything to the amount of diapers I could get for the same price. haha! I never thought the biggest commodity in my life would be a jumbo box of Target brand diapers, or that this exchange rate would help curb my appetite for things that I want, but don't need to buy. An example would be a Nintendo Wii. I have wanted one for a couple of years now. But it costs like10 boxes ...

Old Beginnings

By
     Well, I fought the urge to create a completely new blog and decided to update this trusty old dumping ground of musings and stories. I am not sure what this will end up being, if anything at all other than a fun website to look back on in a few years, before websites become obsolete altogether. The truth is, I really enjoy hearing the sound of my fingers tapping away at the computer keys. It makes me feel like I am doing something productive, even though I am not.      Here I sit, at 11:40pm on a Tuesday night and I wonder what exactly tomorrow will bring. It's strange to be able to predict with almost complete accuracy the grand scheme of the day, but also not know what quirks lie ahead. For instance today, I knew that the kids would be going outside to play. I did not know that before bed my 4 year old would claim to have broken his leg while outside and beg me to carry him up the stairs to his room (which I did). I did know that we would start a n...
