School Time

So my 4 yr old started prek today! I think I forgot to mention that my 2 older kids went back to school already. Thankfully they can ride the bus which picks them up right from our house! They go to differnet schools but ride the same bus. My oldest catches another bus at the elementary school that takes him to his school. Even though the prek is in the same school building they will not let them ride the bus until they get in kindergarten. That means I have to take him and pick him up but prek doesn't start until 8am and the older kids atart at 7:30am. He will get out at 2pm bigger kids get out at 3pm. This upsets my middle child since I'm going to be at the school but can't take her and pick her up. I don't like that she is upset but I really don't want to sit out in the car for 30 minutes in the morning and an hour in the afternoon with my 4 yr jumpin around like a caged animal. I did wait on her this afternoon cause I felt bad. That wasn't a good idea. I could feel contractions and I was hurting real bad. Made it home took the meds the doctor gave me to stop the contractions, drank 2 cups of water and laid down for an hour that seemed to help.

29 weeks pregnant

I am now 29 weeks pregnant and trying to hang in there! I'm in more pain then not. I can barely stand even a breif walk to the restroom is painful. I have talked to the midwife and told her from now on I only want to see her because she is the only one that listens to me and I feel comfortable with her. She said that is fine and just tell the front desk everytime when I make my appointments I want her. She checked my cervix today by hand and said my water bag was hanging out to far!! I have already put myself on bedrest pretty much since it hurts to walk anyways. She said that's good do it as much as I can. She sent me to the hospital for a non stress test just to check for contractions. They hooked me up for 30 minutes only had 1 small contraction in that time so they sent me home. My 4 yr old starts preschool soon and I am the only one who can take him, not sure how this is going to work out. I just hope and pray the baby will be ok. I'm praying to keep her in at least until I'm 34 weeks I have had 2 at that gestation and while not ideal I know she has a better chance the longer she stays inside my belly.

Land O'Frost Wrap Kits Review

Land O'Frost has came out with these tasty wrap kits. I was given the opportunity to try the Oven Roasted Turkey & Pepper Jack and Black Forest Ham & Swiss. Each kit contains 25 slices of Land O’Frost lunchmeat, five slices of cheese and five tortillas. Everything you need for a basic wrap in one package so convenient. Best thing is they a quick, easy and taste great! With 3 kids and another on the way I'm all about quick and easy! You can add anything you want to personalize your wrap. In my family we all have different taste. My husband added tomatoes and avocado to his. My daughter switched cheese because she likes Turkey but didn't care for the pepper jack so she used the swiss she also put ranch and lettuce on hers. I added lettuce and bacon to mine and popped it in the microwave for a lil bit to melt the cheese yummm. Both my sons just ate theirs plain. I did cut my toddlers wrap into the pinwheel shapes because it's cute and easier for him to eat.

These wraps came in handy durring all this hot weather we been having. I love not having to use the stove in hot weather. With school getting ready to start back I know these wraps will be on my shopping list for school lunch and after school snacks. Oh yeah I have a new helper in the kitchen. Thanks Land O'Frost!

update pregnancy 28 weeks

Went back to doctor office the midwife wasn't there so seen a different doctor. He ask why I was there I told him of the contractions and last weeks visit and that I was told to come back today. He said he still didn't understand why I was there and he needed to go read my chart. 30 mins later he came back and asked why I haven't done the glucose test yet I said I did that last week! He said let me go see 10 mins later he says ok you passed that. He said I see they checked your cervix last week that looks good perfect size right where it should be. I said well the midwife said it was short he said no it looks good. Then he measured my belly and said I was measuring big. I asked what that means and he said just something we need to keep an eye on. He said I don't see any problems with anything so just come back in 2 weeks. This is why I want to see just 1 person so I don't have 5 different people telling me 5 different things! It's so frustrating!

Pregnancy 28 weeks

Went to doctors office done my gluclose test and passed yay! Told the midwife I was still have pain so she did the ultrasound on my cervix and said it looked short. I ask what that ment just said they like it to be longer. My blood pressure was kind of high she said. So she sent me home with a jug to do a 24 hr urine test to see if there was protien in mine. She sent me to OB department at hospital to get monitored for contractions. They only hooked me up for 30 mins no contractions in that time frame. She told me to come back in 1 week.

Pregnancy update 27 weeks

Well the past week has been so uncomfortable!! I made a trip to the ER last week to see what was going on but all that has done is make me worry. I was having some contractions but the nurse thought I might be dehydrated so I was sent home and told to aim for 64 ozs of non-decaffeinated drinks a day. I am trying to do this and I have been living in the bathroom lol! I am have pain on and off but mostly just uncomfortable. I have called my doctor's office and told them but they want me to just try to take it easy which I am and they will see me Aug. 4th. This is my 4th baby and I have never made it to 40 weeks my first was 6 weeks early and spent 2 months in NICU. Thank God he is healthy today but I do NOT want another baby to go through that! My 2nd baby was 3 weeks early but she was born healthy, and my 3rd baby was between 4-6 weeks early the doctor's argued over how early they thought he was because he weighed almost 6lbs he had to stay a few extra days in the hospital because his oxygen level was low. So I have never had any problems this early and it is really stressing me which I know can make matters worse. I just want the doctor to understand and take my concerns seriously. I would feel better if they check my cervix to make sure I haven't dilated maybe that would ease my mind somewhat.

My son love's animals! He would enjoy going to the zoo everyday if we could. When I got the opportunity to review a cd about animals I knew he would be excited. This cd is about endangered animals and it's a great fun way to get started talking about how we can help endangered animals. Extinction for extinction is one of the songs on the cd and it's a good motto. I think the the only thing cuter would have been to have videos for the songs.
