Fashion Fridays?!

 Alright, so I had said I was going to make Fridays my Fashion Fridays... Well , I lied! I am not fashionable and hate taking my own pictures.. Soooo. Ive decided to make it Free Write Friday. It will be a lot easier for me to write about whatever, rather then something like Fashion.

Here goes-

My Friday was pretty good. I woke up to early and fell back to sleep maybe 45 minutes before my alarm went off.. Then of course didnt want to get out of bed. Some how I still managed to get myself and the 2 monsters dressed, hair fixed, diaper bag packed, etc all done by 9:30 when our ride showed up. Our ride? Today was Payday, also known as grocery shopping day.

Did you know that some people in the world go to the store every day to pick up when they need for that nights dinner? Did you also know that some people buy a fews worth of grocery at a time? How do I do it?? Living in BFE with one small, expensive grocery store really makes things hard. We, humans, can adapt. We drive 1 and a quarter hours away to go grocery shopping. We buy food for a 2 week stretch!! Do you know how hard it is to organize a shopping list for 2 weeks? Well its horrible when you are someone like me who is not an organized person at all!!

Today was Janessa's turn to drive (we alternate every 2 weeks who drives). We loaded my kids carseats into her truck and were on our way.. Some how we have managed to have 2 peaceful trips to and from town lately.. The kids have both been pretty good and slept in and out.

Grocery shopping was smooth today. After eating salads  at Red Robin, we headed to Walmart. The kids were pretty good for me. They fought with each other some but in general they were good.

and Kisses!

After Walmart is usually Cost Co. That was a pretty fast trip. Since we didnt have any extra stops to make today (ie; JoAnns, Michael's, Mexican store for Carine Asada) we were done shopping pretty early and were home by 5-ish.. We usually dont leave town till 5-ish, so this was great!

Oh and my mother in law bought us a box of diapers for Blaine.. A box of 300 diapers! Holy smokies that is a big box of diapers! Hope it last a while. (Yeah, not with a newborn...)

So over all, this Friday was a good one.. Hope yours was too!

Heartburn Hell

What the hell! My chest feels like it is on fire.. Like I have said through both of my previous pregnancies, "This damn kid better have a head full of hair!!!" Yeah, I know.. Its just an old wife's tale that if you have heartburn that means your baby will have hair... However, I like saying it and so far, its been true for me. Im not sure what I would do with a bald baby!! HaHaHa!!!

Newborn Garrett

As bad as the heartburn is, Im so lazy and stubborn that I do not get up to take tums. Some times I will, but most of the time it will pass (eventually) I notice it the most usually when I either have to lean over to do something, like dress a kid, change a diaper, etc.

Man, I can also tell that I am in my 3 month stretch. I get so tired so fast! Doing the littlest of things wares me out so fast!! I do not have the energy to get out of bed anymore!!! I also have got the mommy waddle down pat once again. lol Its not a horrible side to side sway but its defiantly there. Sleeping comfortably is mission impossible! Most nights I wake up at some point with at least one arm dead asleep from laying on that side of my body.  And now the horrid charley horses have started. Thank God I havent got ones that hurt so bad that I have to jump out of bed to get relief. I can usually catch them right when they start. Though Im sure in the next 3 months, I wont be so lucky.

This little guy is also quite the mover now.  The movements had started on the left side of my belly but he must have moved because now the kung fu jabs are on the right side. Still not much higher then my belly button, but thats ok with me. Stay low little man. Ribs are off limits ;)

I have to get the GD/glucose test done soon. Unlike a lot of other mothers-to-be, I dont mind the orange soda drink that we have to drink. It just seemed like a very sugared orange soda. Its the waiting 1 hour that sucks!! My OB nurse said I could check to see if the little clinic here in our "village" would preform the test, however, NO ONE there should be allowed to draw blood!! So I probably will make the 1.5 (roughly) hour drive sometime next week to get it done by someone who knows what they are doing.. lol Maybe Ellie & I will go next week when Logan is off work and we will make it a girls day. (He can keep Garrett!) 

Well tomorrow is Friday! Yeey!! Also grocery shopping day. I have yet to make a shopping list and still do not look forward to doing so. But its part of life, we need food to live and being as all Ellie wants to do is eat lately, I must do the shopping. Another awesome thing about tomorrow, I am stuck with both kids! Eeek! So while you are lounging around and enjoying for Friday, feel some pitty for me as Im shopping with 2 screaming kids! Thank you!
