Jacob's getting shots today :(

I have already watched "Baby Einstein" two times today. I am thinking it's time for a little ER. I am not sure if I mentioned this before or not but David bought me like 13 seasons of ER for Christmas. I am now on season 2. I just hope we get tv before the new season starts this fall.

Jacob has to get his shots today. I am going to make David take him this time. I have had to do the dirty work all the other times he has had shots, so it's David's turn. I am guessing Jacob is going to get some type of reward after he is all done.

I have 9 1/2 weeks to go! I am barely sleeping at night because I can't get comfortable. I don't really enjoy being pregnant this time around, not sure why. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, fun fun.

This weekend I am going to my cousin Chad's wedding. It feels like he is too young to be getting married. I still picture him 12 years old not 20. I am happy for him though.

The hours at JCPenney still suck but the work is so easy. I am going to need Altru to be hiring after this baby is born though, because David is going to have to start working weekends. I also don't think David could handle an infant and Jacob all by himself. He has never had to do the baby thing before so it's going to be hard on him at first. What am I saying, I don't even know if I can handle the two kids by myself! Jacob is a demanding little boy, he is used to having all our undivided attention.

I did take advantage of my JCPenney employee discount yesterday and got myself a pair of $20 sunglasses for only $4!

I really should be doing something productive instead of this. Maybe I will get dressed and Jacob and I will work on the yard. Either work on the yard or clean the kitchen. Neither of them sound very fun.

Motherhood is not about winning; it's about making it across the finish line intact!...

Still no name for baby #2...

I am getting uncomfortable and I still have 10 weeks to go! I can't lay down comfortably or sit up comfortable, and if I walk around too much I get tired. I am not a person, I am a walking hotel. I love the feeling of carrying my child but I am getting annoyed at the same time.... The joys of being pregnant.
Lincare found a way out of hiring me, I know I should be able to lift 120 pounds (my prepregnancy body weight) but I just can't. I am not upset though, JCPenney was nice enough to give me a job. I may make less and I have to work evenings but at least I get a 20% discount and Jacob doesn't have to go to daycare. I am planning on working here until Altru is hiring again but I am not going to worry about that until the baby is born.
We still have no baby names picked out yet. We haven't come up with a single name that we both like. I can't even really think of a name that I like yet. I am sure we will think of something. I did mention to David last night that we needed to think about godparents. His response was a sleepy "yeah". I think in the past few days I have thought of every little thing we still need to decide on and do before this baby is born. I will procrastinate on accomplishing any of it until October though.
Jacob is a little poop head but I still love him. He loves to shake his head no and stomp his feet. He is trying to put words into sentences. Yesterday's favorite phrase was, "I poop". He hit his head on his bed frame yesterday so he has a nice black eye today. It's not as bad as I thought it would be when it happened though. His new obsession is "Baby Einstein" videos. He will watch the one we have over and over. I checked some out from the library last week for my own sanity and he loved those ones too.
I think it's about time to wake up my napping family. They are so cute when they are asleep but if I let the 1 year old and 25 year old nap too long they won't want to go to bed tonight.
..."I poop"...

Good days...

I finally have a job! I know it has been forever since I posted anything but I know all I would have did is complain that I didn't have a job so I decided to wait until I had something positive to post. I was offered a job with Lincare. It's a company that does in home respiratory supplies. I am not sure what my exact job duties will be but I am a service representative. I am just happy and relieved to have finally found a job. My next task is daycare and I am kind of pushing that off to David. David also found a job working at the state mill. The state mill makes flour in GF. We were both offered a job on the same day, so that makes today a good day.

Jacob went out on a boat for the first time on July 6th and he loved it. He really enjoyed the live well and eating an entire package of cookies. He looked so cute in his life jacket and sunglasses. He thought he was one cool dude. That boat trip made for a very good day.

I turned 24 like 3 days ago. It wasn't the most exciting birthday but it wasn't the worst. I think I will call that a good day too.

David, Jacob, and I took a road trip out to New England, ND to visit David's grandparents on the 9th and 10th. We were only able to spend one night but it was nice to see them and visit with them. David's grandpa loves to talk and his grandma loves to feed people. They are some of the cutest old people I have ever met. I had a really good time there and it made for a very good day.

Good days are like getting a bowl of ice cream with extra sprinkles on top!...

Brody is a cutie!!!

Sweet home Minnesota... Yeah, Jacob and I are back at my parent's place. I have enjoyed seeing everyone but I am ready to get settled back in Grand Forks. David will be coming up with all our stuff later this month. When he gets to GF Jake and I will drive there too.
I need to find another job in GF and some daycare. David and I are hoping to get the house fixed up so we can sell it some time this year. I am thinking we will have a very busy summer and fall.
21 weeks and counting!!! We had an ultrasound last week and found out what we were having but only a select few people know and they better keep their mouths shut. The baby looked cute in the ultrasound pics. We can already tell it has wide feet with long toes. It also looks like it has long fingers. This is all the babies we are having for a long time!... Well, that's my plan anyways.
My sister finally gave me a nephew! I am finally an auntie! His name is Brody Tyler. He is very cute! I love his nose and I just want to eat it all up! I just want to spoil him all up!

RSV and a Power Wheels.

This last week has been so stressful! We took Jacob to the ER on Monday for high fever. He had a fever of 105.9. They did a chest x-ray and a UA, both came back normal. They got his fever down and told us to see his primary on Tuesday. We got to his primary on Tuesday and his fever was again 105 and his oxygen saturation's were in the 80's, so we went back to the ER. They did another chest xray and drugged him up. They decided to admit him because of his fevers and low oxygen sats. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday night in the hospital. He was put on oxygen Tuesday night but came off it Wednesday morning. They diagnosed him with RSV and a secondary bacterial infection. We got to come home Thursday. Daddy couldn't take the IV's and catheterizing very well so he promised Jacob Toys R Us. We left Toys R Us yesterday with an expensive power wheels. Jacob is on medicines but he is doing a lot better. It was a scary couple days but everything turned out OK in the end.

The worst feeling in the world is seeing your child sick and not being able to make it all better.
