Bah

That's it! Gwen and Beanie were snarky now no one gets to help name the baby any more. Coco Cabana indeed.

Seriously though I am 100% decided on Daniel if it's a boy. Still no verdict on a girl's name. I guess I could wait until find out what I'm having before I worry about it. 9 weeks to go until then.

Can't think of a title

I'm in a big funk today. Yesterday and today have been rough. Even with my medication I have not been able to keep any food or even water down. I actually hurt myself throwing up yesterday. I threw my neck all out of wack and I think I strained some muscles in my abdomen. The chiropractor helped with my neck but there's not a lot that can be done about the other stuff.

Jesse has been a huge help, coming home in the afternoon to get to Joseph on the bus and take him to his therapy. Thank goodness his work is very understanding.

On the plus side I learned some new things. A handful of popcorn may seem harmless but feels like razor blades coming back up. A single jelly bean can turn vomit bright orange. If you're sick Joseph is very sweet and brings you his blanket to "feel you better". What a cutie.

To Dad: Haha! Half off pants. I get it.

To everyone else: Check out my Dad's site that is linked on the right. Even though he makes corny jokes his Disney March Madness site is pretty fun.

Hi! I had medicine in my ears. Bye.

The shopping news

I went shopping with Becky tonight and got a couple of shirts and a cute pair of capri pants. I have to start buying new clothes now because all of the sudden my body just changed shape. Nothing fits me now, not even my big t-shirts. My pants keep trying to fall off too. All of the sudden my tummy is starting to stick out and it's not just my regular ample belly. Anway, the stuff I got was cute and the pants were half off so you can't argue with that. Pretty soon I'll have to buy some huge underwear too. Weeeeee!

FYI

I am exactly 11 weeks along today. I read that 90% of miscarriges occure within the first 10 weeks so I have to admit I was a little relieved to get past the 10 week mark. Not that it's all for sure smooth sailing from here on out but I am still glad to be in week 11.

Fun for all

Last night Joseph woke up some time before 10 just crying and screaming. He kept pulling and hitting at his ear and it was obvious he was pretty unhappy. We couldn't get him to take any tylenol and it even seemed to hurt him to take a sip of water. Since we knew it was an ear infection and there was no way we were going to get him to sleep we figured we would take him into the emergency room to get him started on medicine right away.

As we were driving to the hospital Joseph started to throw up. Like, a lot. His mouth was like a faucet and more and more just kept pouring out. Jesse started driving pretty fast (he said he was going about 80 at one point) and he pulled right into the ambulance pull-up. We didn't want to have to take Joseph across the parking lot because he was just soaked in vomit al the way down to his underwear. We got him out of his car seat and stripped him naked as someone brought a towel and blanket out to us. Poor Joseph had vomit everywear, in his hair, hin his socks, in his eyebrows and all he was worried about was that he had thrown up on his new Scooby Doo shirt. He kept saying "My sickness is covering my shirt." Rather poetic for a pukey 4 year old, no?

Anyway, after a long wait we got in to see a doctor (Jesse went home while we were waiting to clean out the car and get a clean Scooby Doo shirt). He told us Joseph had an ear infection in his left ear and the start of on in his right. He thought the vomiting was probably just a one time thing brought on by feeling icky and ceing so upset. We got sent home with ear drops and antibiotics. By the time we left Joseph was laughing and making deals about how many cartoons he would watch when we got home.

I threw up in the car on the way home.

Good times for all but Joseph seems to be feeling pretty good today aside from a runny nose. He's at grandma's house now because he doesn't have school today. As for myself I'm going to go take a nap and try to sleep away this craving I have for pork rinds. (I blame Beanie for bringing them up yesterday.)

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a good Easter! Joseph had us up at 7 for the Easter egg hunt. He had a good time, it was lots of fun to watch him.

I have to return to the subject of poop again for a minute. My mom told me that she knew someone who was giving birth and her husband was really into the whole thing, pushing along with her. He pushed so much that he pooped his pants. Haha! I guess there are worse things than pooping on the table after all. Man, that makes me laugh.

Musings

I forgot to mention earlier that I think the baby is a boy. I don't know why, I just have a feeling. Maybe it's because I am so sure of the name I want if it's a boy but I can't decide on any one girl's name that I really like. The new one I'm really leaning towards is Sophie but that would be weird given that the last Sophie I knew had about 3 teeth and smelled like rotton meat. Sniff. I miss that dog.

Anywya, I have a feeling the baby is a boy. Like I need another one of those around here. Kidding of course! I mean, I would be happy with either but it would also be nice to have someone else in the house who didn't whine whenever I want to go down the Barbie isle at Target.

Suggestions on girl's names in case I'm wrong?
