Check out my other blog at www.annasfattofitblog.blogspot.com!!
If you read my blog yesterday you know that I posted something about one of my friends. And you also know that most of what I said was very judgemental! I think yesterday's post was a result of my emotions getting the best of me. Of course I was upset at the situation but it's between me and her and I really shouldn't have posted about it on the blog! But I do appreciate everyone who responded to the post. It shows me who really cares about me and who has my best interest at heart. There may be things I don't know about my friend that cause her to be the way she is and it's none of my business! All I can do is be the best friend I know how to, and help others where I can. And if I can't help then I just need to be polite about it. I'm not the kind of person who would go out of their way to make someone else feel bad. It's not in my nature. I have always been one to want to share what I have with others regardless. And so I agree I need to set boundaries with people so I don't get taken advantage of. But who am I to judge some one elses actions, they are their actions not mine. What ever happens as a result of those actions is their business, not mine. I've been trying to work on several personal goals this week, how to lose the baby weight, how to be more frugal, and the number one is how to be less judgemental. I know at times we all say negative things about other peoples lives but really is our place to say that, I think NO! We have to put our self in their position and say to ourselves would we want someone talking like that about us. No we want people to say the positive about us! So on that note I want you all to know that I'm great full for the friends and family I have who are always there to help me when I need it and provide me with good advice. And I encourage you all to look for the good in people. It's amazing how that little simple thing can make you feel so much better inside!
Here are some photos of baby girl at 4 weeks or a month old!! It's so fun to dress her up everyday!! I love having a girl!
I'm doing this post in red in honor of my hubby!! I'm so proud he got his degree in the mail this weekend! I can't believe we have achieved this step in life, even though we have a lot more to go! We have been waiting quite a while for this to get here, and now we can frame it and put it up in our house!!! It's exciting to say that my husband is a college grad now. And to know that al least he has this degree if he needed to to he could use it to get a good job. But I'm also excited because this just means he's one step closer to Med school!!! Just want to say again I'm so proud of the hard work and dedication my husband put into getting his degree!! I love you!!
These are some of the things we have ready for the baby so far. I had to get the car seat and stroller this week because it was the last one at Target. And of course it is a shade of purple with a hint of pink! And then these are some of the clothes I have gotten so far. My friends and family know me so well, most of it is purple!!! It's so fun to organize her stuff! I can't wait until we get her crib and the crib bedding my mom is making, purple and green of course. I can't believe I only have six maybe seven weeks left! June went so fast and July is going even faster, so she will be here before we know it!! I'm excited to see who she will look like and what kind of hair she will have, but on the other hand I will be nervous that I will have three kids to handle! But I have heard going from two to three is easier than going from one to two. We will soon see if that holds true!! And lets just pray that this delivery goes as smooth as the last one, five hours and it was done! Thanks again to all who have given me baby stuff, I love it!! And to all my friends who have given me advice about girls, lord knows I need it all I know is little boys right now!
It's been a while but in my defense we just moved and we couldn't get our internet to work right until this week. So we moved two weeks ago into student housing at the U and it's not bad. I like that we have lots of neighbors who are in me pre med and med school. They are giving Dwayne the advice he needs to get into med school. It's also nice to have lots of kids the boys ages to play with. And most of them will be in school with them next year. We are also trying to get things ready for the baby, we only have about 2 mo. left! My friends threw me a surprise shower last night and it was great! I love my fetus poster from Jenny and all the cute girl clothes. I can't wait to dress her up! It's starting to set in that we are going to have a girl and that we are going to be outnumbered soon. Right now Dwayne has Micah who loves everything Dwayne does(ie. movies ,sports). And I have Isaiah who loves to just chill with me and cuddle in my bed and watch reality t.v. I think I will always have a special bond with him because of the time I spent with him in the hospital and taking care of him when he was sick. But having a girl will be so different, I will need more time to get out of the house in the morning because I will have to do her hair and make sure she looks just right. With the boys you just make sure they have on clothes that are clean and shoes. They don't require so much primping time if any. Now I just need to get the crib and the car seat. I have to buy new ones because the crib we used fro the boys we got from a friend and it was broken by the time Isaiah grew out of it and our car seat we lent to my friend and she got in an accident with it. So darn I have to buy new ones for the girl! If you can't tell by my blog I love the color purple so I'm sure most of her things will be purple until she can decide on a favorite color of her own! But who doesn't love purple the color of royalty. I will post some pics of our new place when we get things put away and pictures hung up.
IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M SO HAPPY AND EXCITED!
HER DUE DATE IS AUGUST 31ST BUT IT'S OK IF SHE COMES EARLY BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS! I HAVE THREE BOYS STARTING IN AUGUST.

I know, I know I've been a slacker but I have good reason why I haven't posted in a long time. Lets start at the begining! I was sick with the whole pregnency thing and I told you all that I had the Iv same as the last two times, but this time came with it a whole lot of other complications. So I have hyperemisis and I'm like nausus all day I can kind of deal with that. But this time when I got my pic line I got an infetion in my arm. It turned out to be a staff infection. Well it was the weekend when this happened in the ER so I had to wait until the next Tuesday to get a new one. When I went to radiology I was like this is great because I was in and out. It didin't take long at all like last time. But I wasn't sure if I could drive my self home so I called my mom to come pick me up at the hospital. But she had to go get my kids first from my mother in laws so I had to wait a while. But while I'm waiting I start to itch really bad on my feet. And I had been having allergic reactions to tape and other adhesives so I thought thats what it was from. And I had had an allergic reaction to one of the antibiotics I was taking. So I just told my self well I'm not that far from home I'll just drive myself. So as I'm driving the itch is getting worse and I'm ripping off my boots and my sock just so I can itch my feet. And of course I'm yelling at the traffic because I'm hitting all the red lights and people are driving slow in front of me. But when I get home I immediatly run myself an oatmeal bath so I can calm the itch but when I take off my clothes I notice I have hives all over my body and my face is turning red! So I'm in the bath freaking out because I don't know whats happeneing. And I'm on the phone trying to call my neighbor to see if she can take me to the hospital again, but she wasn't home. So I get out of the bath and I'm rubbing gold bond all over my body as fast as I can and realize that it's not five yet so I might still catch my OB if I call right now. So I do and the nurse says slow down tell me what going on. I tell her about the hives and she says are you having a hard time breathing, and I say well I try to swallow and I can't and my throat is really dry! She tells me to hold on for a sec and it was like 5 seconds she come s back on and says OK the doctor said you need to hang up and call 911. I said ok bye. I've never called 911 so I was still freaking out. But I called them and told them what was going on and they sent out and ambulance followed by a fire truck . I'm not sure why so much but there must have been at least 8 emt and firefighters in my kitchen helping me. They carried me out on the streacher and took me back to St. Marks. When I got there the doctor told me I probably was allergic to the other antibiotic I was taking. So that was just a scary event in and of itself not to mention that I was pregnant so that complicated everything. So I was admitted to the hospital and then it took a day to figure out what other anitbiotic they could give me being pregnant. And then my OB wanted to monitor me to make sure I didn't react to that one also. Because just with this pregnacy alone I found out that I'm allergic to two antibiotics, Latex, adhesives (tape) and so you just never know what else it going to make me break out and itch! Ok so now I'm able to eat a little ie. dry toast, cottage cheese, soda crakers and water. When I was done with two weeks of Iv antibiotics I was able to get my pic line out. But I still have all these areas on my arms where I have rashes and scars from rashes where I had adhesives. So what is the moral of this story, If it's a boy or a girl I'm done!!! I will have three kids and only three kids because I will never go through this again!!! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!!! So now I hope I can just focus on the hyperemisis but anything could happen. I now see my OB every two weeks instead of every month just to make sure nothing else goes wrong!!! So if it seems like I was dead and you didn't hear from me thats because I felt like I was dying and I was just in bed all day every day!! So ladies who have "normal pregnacies" I don't ever want to hear you complain about morning sickness or heart burn again!!(j/K) ? Thast;s my drama for the month I hope you all enjoyed the story of my life!!
Well I have to update you all on my health status now. I did have a peripheral IV placed two week ago. So that was sad to me I really thought this pregnancy would be different. And then yesterday when the nurse came to change my IV I had some weird reaction and I started throwing up really bad and then I had stomach pains and I couldn't get off the bathroom floor. The nurse said she thinks I might have hyperventilated after all the throwing up. So then she called my doctor and he said he wanted me to go over the the hospital and get a pic lined placed. And that was another night mare. They tried to put it in the dame spot as last time in my left arm so I could use my right arm better. But when they tried to get it in the vein was to close to the nerve so it was hurting way bad. Sot he had to numb up my other arm and try there. They managed to get it in and just as they were getting done I started to feel like I couldn't breathe and then I started to hyperventilate again. the nurse had to run in and hook up the oxygen thing on my finger and start taking my blood pressure. It was the worst thing ever. So then I get home and both arms hurt so I could lay on my side I had to lay on my back to take a nap. And now I have all these marks all over my arms because when they were putting in the IV's my veins are small and I was dehydrated from not eating or drinking so they had to poke me at least six times each to get one started. And then when they would draw my blood they would have to use three veins because my blood would come out because I get really cold when I'm sick. So this last two weeks have been Excuse me but HELL for me!!! This is really all my body can take and I'm seriously thinking this will be my last biological child. This time the Hyperemis is just too bad and when I have Micah and Isaiah to take care of it's just to hard. I hope it doesn't last long but who knows I feel worse this time around!! But at least the IV is now in my arm permanently so I don't have to get poked anymore. And I have use of my hands again. It suck to be confined to the house but I wouldn't want to go anywhere right now. When I feel good enough to go out I hook up with all you girls for some girl time or play dates again!! I'm not posting this to get sympathy I just wanted to let you know why it might have looked as though I had dropped off the face of the earth! Love to you all!!!
Suprise!!! We are expecting! We are so happy about this. And the best part is that I'm not sick like I was when I had the boys. So maybe its a girl! Cross your fingers. I mean another biy would be fine but it would be nice to have a little girl right now. We don't plan on having any more when Dwayne is in Law School. It's too risky that I might get as sick as I did before. But right now I feel fine other than heartburn. So it's a small post but we are very excited!!!
