Time to get away

Well I was talking to my sister today. We both have a lot going on in our lives at this time. We had a really good conversation. She offered to fly Braxton and I down to visit her. She has never met Braxton, she has lived in 5 diffrent states in the past 10+ years. I have not seen her since her wedding. So it will be really nice to see her and my nephews. We both agree that I need a change of scenery, and to catch up of course. SO it looks like April I will be flying down with Braxton. I am so scared! I have only been on a plane 1 time beore, and I have to do it with a toddler! Any tips or tricks in doing this will be greatly appreciated!

Overwhelming

OK so, a lot has been going on. I am a little bit of a stressed out emotional wreck! Braxton has hit his terrible 2's. He screams at everything! Instead of communication he just screams! It is so frustrating. At times I just don't know what to do. I hope this is something he will grow out of.
I have tried ignoring it, yelling back, talking calmly, spanking his butt and putting him in his room. It still continues! UGH! Talk about feeling like a bad parent! We were in the store yesterday and he kept screaming and hitting me. I tried quietly to tell him no and to stop hitting me. He just kept going. It got to the point where I had to just walk away and let Rick deal with him. And of course he stopped. Some times I just think he hates me!
ON top of having to deal with that I feel like we are being pushed out of our house. I know my parents don't want us here anymore. Now that I am having another baby it seems like they really don't want us here. So I am on a hunt for a place to live. Delaware is so expensive and it is hard to find a decent place that we can afford that is not in the ghetto. I don't know what we are going to do. It sucks to have worn out your welcome........
Not to mention how much it hurts to not have your Mom be excited about a new baby coming when she was the one that said she wanted another one less than one year ago! Otherwise we would not have been trying while we were living here!!!!

morning sickness

With Braxton I was sick almost my whole pregnancy. I was completly surprised with him so I didn't find out until I was almost 8 weeks along. This time since I was waiting and tracking everything I knew right away. I already have that knot in the stomach feeling. Yesterday was a good day. I felt good, I did a lot, including cleaning out Braxton's closet to see what stuff we still have for the new baby. It is too early for nesting isn't it? But anyway back to business, doing dishes makes me vomit. I am cleaning up after 4 adults and one toddler and the question of what exactly is on the plate is making it even worse. I try to hold my breath and then I get dizzy. LOL It would just be esier if everyone cleaned up after themselves. Wow I got really off track. I hope I don't have morning sickness as bad as last time, but hey. I ended up losing 40 lbs after it was all said and done. You can't beat that, a healthy baby and a smaller body. But it all came back, and then some :o( I don;t really have an appetite. I am hungry but don;t want to eat anything. So I just force down some fruit and then 15 mins later my stomach is growling again. We will see as things progress.

Braxton is going to be a big brother!

So we are expecting our second baby! How exciting! It looks like I should be due in October. My first prenatal appointment is March 16th. I am so happy and nervous at the same time! Am I going to be able to handle 2? 

Rick is really happy! He could not stop smiling and saying he was going to be a Daddy again! I am so lucky! 

So this blog will be a pregnancy blog to follow me throughout my pregnancy and birth of the expecting baby. I got this idea from Barbie. She is such a smart girl! LOL 

So if your following this, thank you! That means a lot. I just figured I would use this outlet to express myself during this exciting and emotional time :o)
