well I had a good few days this weekend, but right back in the swing of taking care of too much all day long I am well on my way to my record of throwing up at least one meal a day! sorry if it’s TMI but it’s really driving me mad. All I enjoy anymore and can keep in is ice cream! all last week my preference was Edy’s rocky road, and I’d down some now in an attempt to get something on my tummy but I finished off the container the other day! well Caleb and I did, for once I think he found an ice cream he liked. remembering back to my first pregnancy, I think at my work baby shower they brought me so kind of sugar free yummy chocolate kind of ice cream, darn I wish I could remember what brand and flavor it was, because it was great! I ate that a lot at the end of my pregnancy w/ caleb, it would be funny if it had been something like rocky road. I’ll have to look next time for the sugar free kind as it’s getting closer to me needing to crack down on my sugar intake, but right now ice cream is the only thing I”m taking in well! so I guess I should invest in the sugar free kind now huh?

looking forward to my appt on friday but worrying about what will happen. My headaches are getting less frequent but the nausea and vomitting is definitely still there. I also found myself extremely lost today for about an hour trying to get home from the park, granted it’s not close to home and i’m not all too familiar w/ the area, but it should have taken 25 minutes at the most to get home, but I got turned around so many times it was ridiculous. I’m blaming that on hunger and pregnancy insanity! but it was quite scary for awhile until I got my bearings. So I’ll be glad when things get calmed down a bit, but knowing at this rate that wont be for another twenty years!!! since after the baby is born I”m sure things wont get much easier, but I can at least hope my condition stays under control then.

Well tonight we close on our refinance of our house. By next week all of our credit cards will be paid off, and even our car payment will be gone! we’ve consolidated all our debt onto the mortgage so no high interest rate credit cards and I’ll only have to make one payment a month for the new loan so no more worrying about things being late. We’re going to save about $260 a month or so the numbers say, so we are praying things work out and we can continue to stay on top of things from here on out. I’m hesistant about it but mostly because the process has been a real pain. But am looking forward to a little extra cash each month and we’re getting some cash out to do some home repairs, but not too much so if anything we’ll be able to get the baby’s room nice and get a new front door and some screens for windows. All stuff to look forward to!

well speaking of looking forward to something, I’ve been eager to get a nap, so better get Caleb calmed down and then maybe I can rest some!
