Stay-At-Home Moms Christmas Week! 12/22 - 12/28

mechanicmom

Good morning,
How is everyone? I hope you all got some rest. How are all of our little babies feeling?
3bb, sorry to hear about Floyd. What a pain. I hope he's okay. Maybe he'll learn his lesson. :huh:
Cute picture, Supermom!
Roni, how are you feeling today?
I am so with you all on getting rid of the junk food! We ran out of breakfast food so I had a piece of apple pie. :blushing: Dh needs to go to the store today. Poor guy. The inlaws are coming back this afternoon for a few days. They will be taking Alex to therapy tomorrow and my MIL has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I was thinking about trying to go to Alex's therapy too tomorrow, but if I stand or sit up for very long I start hurting. Maybe some of that is normal stretching. So I probably won't make it this week, but maybe next week.
I am doing a lot better, especially compared to Christmas day! I am still bleeding but it's a lot less! Also my pregnancy symptoms are a lot stronger today! Yay! Not that I enjoy feeling nauseated but I certainly don't mind it right now!
Tomorrow is 5 weeks that I've been on bed rest. It's kind of gone by fast. Apparently I was only 3 weeks pregnant when I was put on bed rest. Very weird I thought I was 5.
DH and Alex just left for church. :ohwell: I want to go! I want to go anywhere! I guess right now I will just go enjoy an uninterrupted shower. Sorry about my novel once again. You can tell I'm kind of lonely.
Have a blessed day!
MM

I'm bored and want to get the SAHM thread back to the top :laugh: so here are a couple of pictures of Harley and her Christmas loot. (This is why Dave and I only got her 1 toy and the outfit she is wearing.)

3BB - Too cool! I remember when I was younger, we'd go to the bookstore at the mall where they had a train set thingie set up. My brother and I would do a quick look around the store at the books and then play with that for as long as my mom would let us! :laugh:

Sorry I'm so distracted today I didn't explain anything or talk to anyone. It's been rough (STUPID *kitten* DOG!).

See how it is oriented on the floor? By the time Christmas was over, we couldn't walk through the living room b/c everything else they got accumulated around it. LOL We've found places for everything but 2 bowling sets. Yes....2 bowling sets.

Harley's so dang cute in her little Steelers shirt! I could squeeze her! That first pic is like, "MINE! ALLLLL MINE! BWAHAHA!" HA!

Roni - when do the stiches come out? Have you tried the HRM with the bandage yet?

MM - glad you're doing better! Let us know how the tests all go! Hang in there baby!

Hello to everyone else. Back to waiting on the phone...*sigh*

Guess what!! I told Dave about the BL challenge on here. He just asked me, "Is the Biggest Loser thing on your website still open?" I said, "I don't know. Why?" He said he wanted to join. I said he'd have to join MFP. He said okay. :noway:

I don't know if he'll be a gabber on here like I am. :laugh: But he's at least gonna do the challenge with me. Yea! I guess telling him how much I like this site has gotten to him. The only problem is now I can't talk about him because he could sign in and read my posts. :laugh:

Oh, his screenname is tattoo_pauly.

What a cutie Loree! She made out better than I did! What a sweetie!
3BB, My SIL is wanting to give us a train table like that. She's been storing it for us in her garage I think, but we just don't have the room. I'm not sure how much Alex would play with it. We really need a bigger house pretty soon. We have two beds in my son's room for guests and after the baby is born there will be a crib in there also. It's going to be crowded!
I am doing okay today. I have been nauseated all day. I hope that's pregnancy stuff and not an infection making me feel that way. I'm just wanting to get the next two days over with so I know what's going on. Must be patient!
Oh I haven't posted pictures yet. Hmmm. I'll have to to that. lol. Let me see if I can shrink a few and get them up.

This was during a hiking trip over Thanksgiving. Just thought he looked so cute!


I love it when kids fall asleep at dinner. :laugh:





Daddy playing with Alex's toy called a bili-bo. It's made for autistic kids. I don't exactly know what it is. lol

And this man is the reason I keep my sanity most days.

I've seen those bili-bo's! I don't think they are actually anything. They're supposed to stimulate imagination & physical play or something like that. Cute pics, MM!

Glad you made it home okay, Lyn! Good job on the goal weight! WOO!

Okay, so feeling a big envious here. But that is awesome! Way to go. Keep up the great work. I guess you definitely have earned the title of SUPERMOM

I hate to be a downer, but we went to have the sonogram done this morning and the baby was gone. The sack and everything. Apparently I passed it on Christmas day. Just when you think things are going to be great... I may be laying low for while. Then again I may be on here more than usual. After all I do have an extra ten pounds to lose now. We are planning to go to San Antonio this weekend. As long as I feel up to it which I should.
DH took off work today to be with me. Alex has horse therapy so I am going to try to pull myself together long enough to go to that. It will be good for me to get out and do something I enjoy. I have been pretty angry so I will probably come home and take it out on the house. It hasn't been really cleaned in about 6 weeks so I have plenty to do.
Strangely enough, and I have no idea how since I am angry, I have found praise in my heart to God for sparing me from horrible pain during miscarriage. He really IS good and I will continue to praise Him and serve Him. He is my Rock. Thanks everyone for all of your prayers. I would like to think that things could have been a whole lot worse for me if I hadn't had them. I will check in some time. Love y'all.
