A Must Have For Every Mother

So, I have heard of this book like in October, and finally got my hands on it. I just love the idea that this book promotes. Though, I would consider myself as one of those lucky moms, who's kids love veggies, I have to admit there are days when we don't have any....
So, this book came as a great rescue, the recipes are fantastic, and it has information on which vegetable does what for your body, and how much of it you should have a day... My Rylee sat with me like for 30 minutes, and just insisted that we read all about each veggie. Great education! Though, the book was written to trick your kids, I have to say, I am totally OK to be tricked into eating all my veggies as well. It's delicious.
Any whom, just give this book a try, I think you will like it. We can't get enough of it. I got mine on Amazon.com for like $6.

What goes around comes around

About 8 years ago....I was hugely, 9 month pregnant, 10 days overdue with Rylee. My sweet husband one morning decided to play joke on me.
While I was still asleep, he got some worm water and gently pour it down below, so that very shortly I woke up in excitement and panic, for I thought, my water broke and I will FINALLY have this babe....He let me go on believing this for like 10 min. or so, then he plaid this tender moment role of the father and invited me to set on the bed for just a minute, and read this wonderful poem that he wrote just for this moment....I was soo touched and overwhelmed with love of my husband....As I read the poem I have reluctantly realized that he plaid a MEAN joke on me....
Who does that to a popping women???????

SOOOOOOOOO

I had Dr. appointment last Thursday, and Dr. decided to push some button on his computer screen and it looked like this:

O, the sweet revenge!!!!!!! I just had to ask him to print this out. When Troy got home, I said: "Hone, there is something I didn't tell you about my appointment today.....and then I gave him this picture.......( you see, I thought, he was going just freak out on me and I would feel SOOOO GOOOOOD, letting it ride) Well, as he looked at the photo his face start all shivering and his eyes got all read, and he got this sweet daddy voice saying: " Oh....honey....really?......."
Dang it!!! The boy was actually touched and excited!!! What's the mater with him?
Anyway, I felt horrible, and had to tell him right away. He was VERY mad and wouldn't talk to me for a while....but he got over it of course and the next day, I remember his joke on me 8 yrs. ago, so that made me feel sooo much better. What goes around comes around. We were even!

My last week visit to the Doctor

Sense, I am one of those girls, who doesn't keep up when my "friend" is in town, I had no idea just how far prego I was, and Doctor just was guessing about 9 weeks....He has scheduled ultrasound for me and off I went to find out just when Troy and I had some fun in the bedroom....
I had to bring all of my kids with me telling them that they will probably wont see much, to my surprise, I was able to see very clearly (the photos don't do justice here) that I indeed had human being inside of me (it wasn't just a dot on the screen).
Two great things happen while I was in the office. First, I found out that I was 12 weeks prego and not 9...Hooray!!!! How often does that happen? Like, NEVER...not to me anyway.
And second, I was Soooo happy that my kids were there. Their eyes were huge, they had smiles from year to year. And when the baby moved it's legs and arms, they broke in such a laughter. It was such a tender experience for them and me....
So, here are the pictures, though it's not the best shot of the babe, like I said, monitor of the ultrasound was a lot better. So, I will probably have this babe around September 28th (I usually get induce, so the date might very on the Dr. schedule)
