Turkey Day 2012

Wow, the last 4 days went by so fast. They started off a rocky...Tuesday around 4pm I started to feel sick. I had a headache, my stomach was feeling off and I had a fever of 101.4 with chills. I took some ibprofen and feel asleep in the recliner. When I woke up the chills were gone but my fever was now 102.4 and I was feeling worse. It was time for me to pump and when I did my right side was over the top sore. I knew exactly what was wrong with me, MASTITIS!

I have feared getting it since Lucas was born because from what I heard, you feel like you were hit by a mac truck and that is exactly how I felt. I called the my midwife and she called me in an antibiotic. The kids were off Wednesday and Matt had to work so I was on my own. It was a rough day to say the least but by that evening I was feel much better. By Thursday morning my fever was gone and I was able to enjoy Thanksgiving at my parent with my family.

Logan and Abby had a blast playing with all their cousins. The food was delicious and the icing on the cake was the Redskins whooping up on the Cowboys!!! HTTR!!!

Matt and Logan ran the turkey trot that morning with the rest of my family. I stayed home with Lucas because I didn't want to push my luck since I had just started feeling better. I was bad and didn't take very many pictures this year but here are some.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Sunday Confessions ~ v9

It's confession time...a little late but here we go!


Confession #1
I went and saw the last movie to the Twilight series on Friday with my sister in law and all I have to say is WOW! It was definitely the best one and I will leave it at that!

Confession #2
We got Lucas' monitor in the mail but we have not moved him to his room yet. I am just not ready. I like having him so close. Maybe next weekend we will try, maybe!

Confession #3
I am still losing weight (46lbs so far) but know that if I would eat better and exercise I would lose a lot more. I just can't find the will power to eat good and with the holiday's coming up I definitely don't see it happening.

Confession #4
I am so ready excited for Thanksgiving and all the yummy food. I am making green beans and a pumpkin roll to take to my parents. YUM-O! What are you all making?!

Confession #5
I hate odd number but I always seem to do 5 confessions, WEIRD! I might need to fix this now that I have pointed it out to myself!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Currently ~ v7

Currently I am...

Loving the fall weather! I am so thankful it is not 100 degree outside anymore. I love the colors of the trees when I am driving down the road to my house. One nice thing about living in the country!

Looking at the Sock Monkey line at Crazy 8...can you say C-U-T-E! I must get Lucas the hat for this winter. I might just go by there today and get it.

Cooking lots of muffins. I can't get enough pumpkin and bananas muffins. The first batch of pumpkin muffin we all ate but I swear I ate the whole second batch by myself...NOT GOOD! haha

Catching up on TV shows. We are so behind on all our shows that I try to watch a few during the day. There are a few that I can't watch with out Matt (SOA, Criminal Minds, Mike and Molly) so we will have to catch up on those this weekend.

Missing my hubby! This storm was not as bad as some but he has still been working a lot this week and when he gets home it is time for bed so we don't get to talk much.

[Next week's themes: anticipating, buying, needing, thinking, ignoring]

Sunday Confessions ~ v4

It's Sunday and confession time...linking up with Alyx over at Every Day is a New Adventure!


Confession #1
I have not been blogging and feel so out of the loop in the blog world *insert sad face*! I am going to be better, or I will try anyway!

Confession #2
Have bags under my eyes and I am not OK with it. I love love love my little guy but this mama needs more sleep.

Confession #3
Dinner this Tuesday with 3 of my favorite blog ladies! Good food and great conversion is just what I need.

Confession #4
I LOVE "Live with Kelly and Michael". I look forward to watching it every morning. As soon as I get the kids on the bus I turn the cartoons off and put it on ABC. I was not sure about Michael Strahan as her co host at first but I like them together.

Confession #5
So excited that it is FALL. Can't wait for the Apple Festival, the pumpkin patch and trick or treating. Then it will be onto my most favorite holiday's of the year, Thanksgiving and Christmas!

That's all the confessing I have time for today but I leave you with a picture of our littlest guy!
