YAY! I'm caught up! YAY!!
Today's blog prompt is.....An annoying myth or wives-tale.
Right now in my life it is that I should try crackers, ginger ale, broth, etc. for my "morning sickness." I wish that some of these helped me. They just don't though. =(

My Grandparent's house...
My Grandma's (maternal) house was always warm and cozy. Anyone was welcome at all times. It was full of love, patience, and baked goodies. My Gram loved to crochet & do crafty work. So she showed me lots of fun stuff. =) I am thankful to have both of my Grandmas here with me still! I love them! =)

I wasn't supposed to see...
Not really sure...my mind isn't very creative right now. I honestly can't even think of anything exciting for this.

A bit late...sorry!
The most vivid dream...
I remember 2...one when I was a kid. I was being chased all around a dept. store. The person chasing me caught me and I was thrashing & kicking the person. I kicked something hard and hurt my foot!
The 2nd was about a year ago. I dreamed my hubs was cheating on me. It was so vivid and hurt me so badly. =(

Snow days...
I wish! HAHA Here in Michigan they hardly ever cancel school for snow days. I think it was closed 1 day in 09-10 school years and 2 or 3 days in 10-11 school year. So far none this year.
I would love to have a huge snow. I hate the ground being all soggy and muddy! I also wouldn't mind the kids being home for a snow day every now and again.
I wish we would have had snow for Christmas!

An impactful book in my life.
My answer to this prompt is super easy! It is Ina May's Guide to Childbirth! I absolutely adore Ina May!
Also the lady that trained me to be a Birth Doula...she has a book called The Doula Business Guide; Creating a Successful MotherBaby Business by Patty Brennan. You can find out more info about Patty HERE. She offers some amazing classes in the Ann Arbor area.
I learned a lot about childbirth from Ina May's book...this having given birth 5 times myself. I plan to make Baby Bubble-Guppy-Cupcake's birth much different. I'd love a homebirth, but we will see where we are when I am due.

Something mischievous I did as a child...
Yikes, I'm not sure about this. I can't think of anything off hand that I did. I'll think about it, and I'll get back to you!

The last time I laughed so hard, I cried.
Deep and I just had a good laugh a few days ago. I forget why though. When we are visiting family in Ohio we always laugh so hard our belly hurts while playing board games! Also when I read Damn You Autocorrect I laugh soooooooo hard I cry. =)

Something at home/work that serves no purpose.
{Probably shouldn't be your boss or spouse ;-) }
Currently it's the remote controls in our house. Why the remotes you ask?!? Because We can't find ANY of the THREE we have. So that makes them currently useless. Ehhh hopefully we will find them soon.

"The first time I saw..."
The first time I saw Kamdyn on ultrasound was absolutely amazing!
I had found out I was pregnant about 6 weeks earlier. I had an early ultrasound and nothing was seen. (this happened with 2 previous pregnancies. I went on to miscarry both times.) The Dr. office ordered blood hcg tests. Both tests decreased in number. I was told I would miscarry this pregnancy also.
I went on with life the best I could. I blocked out everything about pregnancy/babies, etc out of my mind. I was done.
The first week of December I got VERY sick. By the weekend I was so extremely ill that I couldn't keep water down. I went to the ER. They asked if I could be pregnant. I told them no...I had just had a miscarriage. They did a blood test and my hcg was 36,000! I went for an ultrasound. I was 10.5 weeks pregnant!!!! WOAH. It was amazing to see the little baby on the screen. She was wiggling around. AMAZING!! I got an ultrasound picture. I laid it on my belly. Deep had ran home just before the ultrasound...not knowing that I was pregnant! When he returned he asked what was on my belly. I told him the first picture of our baby. We both got tears in our eyes. It was an amazing moment! =)

"I convinced my children to.."
Today I convinced my children to CLEAN THEIR ROOMS!!!! YAY! I had been trying to get them to clean their rooms for a few days. Thankfully they listened!
Tonight Kamdyn has a performance at a local high school for MLK Jr. Day. Her school choir is singing. She is very excited! =) So I wanted their rooms clean & homework done before we had to be there. The girls also took showers...without any help! YAY. Small little victories! =)

Why I don't like a certain cartoon character.
OY...not quite sure on this one. I think Caillou is very annoying, but my kids LOVE the show. I can't really think of 1 character that makes me crazy. I think watching too much of one show is annoying though. Small doses is the answer to that! =)

I can't believe my kids like...
{This could be a food, beverage, toy, show, music...}
Food- McDonalds chicken nuggets or a cheeseburger and fries. Kamdyn loves taco casserole.
Beverage- all of them prefer sprite except Kamdyn. She prefers root beer
Toy- ehhh I'm not really sure on this.
Show- Girls like Nick & Disney shows. Max is in between ages..so depending on which other kids he's around he will watch whatever they watch. The little boys prefer Nick Jr. or Sprout.
Music- littles like kids music (Wiggles, nursery rhymes, etc), bigger kids like hip hop/dance music.
Color- Kamdyn's favorite color is yellow. Diya's favorite color is green. Max's favorite color is blue.

Again a little early.
"My child's creepiest toy."
I think that my girls' dolls that urinate & poo are creepy! Also those motion activated baby toys that start singing or playing music in the middle of the night REALLY creep me out!

I am going to do tomorrow's & Friday's because I have a lot going on. So while I have a moment I will write...
Thursday's blog prompt is "A vacation I hope to take this year."`
Purely speaking hypothetically, I'd love to take a huge Disney World vacation & swim with dolphins/manatees, go back to NYC, go on a cruise, or go to an All-Inclusive resort. Dreamin' big! LOL Actually since I'm pregnant & have HG I doubt I will be leaving town anytime soon. =(

Getting caught up...
Tuesday's blog prompt is "A favorite retro toy."
Truthfully I don't remember much about the toys I played with except my baby dolls. I had quite a few Cabbage Patch Kids. Lets see if can recall their names...
Christine Elise
Gerta Tay
Dean Bromwell
Alberta Fay
I had a few more, but I forget their names.
I loved my CPKs! =)
I also remember Teddy Ruxpin & Kid Sister doll. I cut off Kid Sister's hair! Anyone remember the "My Buddy & Kid Sister" song they had on the commercial. I loved that song.

Again I'm running behind. I've had a crazy busy couple of days. So I'm going to catch up now...
Monday's blog prompt is "I never thought I'd find this in my child's room...
Definitely the mess in my girls' room! Kitchen utensils are always finding a way to Max's room. I will never understand why, but they do.

Today's blog prompt is
Too much television...
We watch our fair share of TV. My hubby & I enjoy our nightly dose of DVR'd shows. My little kids enjoy Nick Jr. & Sprout. My older kids enjoy Disney and the health channels.
I have little energy today...from being so sick. So today I am laying in bed watching movies. =) Another total lazy day for me!
I have a dr. appt tomorrow. I am hopeful to get some thing taken care of tomorrow so hopefully I can start to feel better soon! I will be 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow! Only 1 more week in the first trimester! We can find out if our little one is a boy or girl in 6 weeks!!!! YAY!

Something you need daily - coffee?
So this is yesterday's blog prompt. I missed yesterday because I was so very ill. I spent the greater part of the evening in the ER getting 4 1/2 liters of IV fluid & 2 medications to help resolve the horrible nausea. Thankfully my electrolytes tested OK. I hadn't kept food or drink down in about 48 hours. I felt awful!
Thankfully after the fluids I felt well enough to eat (something I was MAJORLY craving!) a piece of Papa Romano's pizza & a bread stick. Unfortunately it came back up, but a whole glass of cold Sprite stayed down!!! YAY!
So back to my blog prompt...something I need daily. Recently it is IV fluids. When not pregnant and suffering with HG I need caffeine...preferably in the form of Diet Coke!
