This heartburn today has been constant! I wish I knew what was causing it, because my throat is raw from almost throwing up so many times today. I doubt it is the baby’s position because he has been punching my pelvic region all day too. It’s after midnight and I’m scared to go to bed because I really don’t want to lay down then immediately get up to run to the bathroom and puke. Ugh!!!
Yay I made it to 23 weeks.

Wonderful 18 weeks pregnant and I have both a severe sinus infection AND a ear infection!!

Just a big old vent post

I hate that my kids got pinkeye. My preschooler got it in one eye on Friday with no known exposure. I pulled him early from Pre-K even though the school said it was no big deal and he could stay, since he came to school with no symptoms. I immediately took him in and got him medicine drops from the doctor. Saturday it had spread to his other eye. Then this morning my 2 year old woke up with it in both eyes. So he got to go cry at the doctor until she gave him stickers. ...

I just talked to my OB office, to find out what we are having.
It’s another boy!
My husband is overjoyed!
While I’m very excited, I’m also a little disappointed and a little sad. I really wanted a girl to balance some of this testosterone filled house. I am happy the baby is healthy and growing well though.
Having no morning sickness and really no bad symptoms made me really think I might finally get my girl. My first two boys I was so sick for all of first trimester and at least part of second...

Well... my oldest (4 1/2 years old) was wrong.
Since we told him that he would be getting a new brother or sister in September, he has been telling me that there are at least TWO babies in my belly. Some days he’d tell me there were 3 or 4 in there.
Today was my first OB appointment with full ultrasound. Only one very wiggly baby at 9 weeks 1 day gestation. When I told him after pre-school he cried and said it’s not fair he wanted two sisters in September!

Now we shall see if he is correct on ...

After a long break I am back and I just found out this morning that I’m pregnant with baby #3!

One of our inside boys. This guy loves everyone especially my youngest. They cuddle together and he tolerates the youngest playing rough as though the little guy were just petting him.

Four of our youngest farm fur babies. Sadly this lot were orphaned last week.

Umm...
So I’m in a dilemma. I was a part of that major settlement that Honest Co had. They had to pay out a ton of money to a lot of people. I received a good sized settlement credit (if I had done a check it would have been half as much).

Now that BB has been shut down by Honest Co founder Jessica Alba, I am having a very hard time wanting to use the credit.

I mean I’m not paying for any of it, but do I use the credit so that they have to give me free stuff?

Why does farming have to hurt so much?! My back and shoulders hurt from lifting gates into place. My neck hurts from putting a belt on the baler. My hips, knees and ankles hurt from all the walking and standing. Plus just to round it all out my sinuses and chest hurt from my seasonal allergies and the cough they have caused.

All we worked on today was finishing the repairs on the round baler and preparing for our new bull to be delivered. Then redoing our preparation for the bull after dark wh...
