It's been so cold in Las Vegas the past few days. We had a winter weather advisory yesterday with the possibility of up to two inches of snow, but that never happened. My car decided to stop working all together in this chilly weather. It's currently sitting at the dealership to be looked at tomorrow morning. Last week, my car picked a couple of days to not start right away. It would take a few tries, but then everything would be in good working order. On Friday afternoon, when I was trying to leave work, my car refused to start. Heath had to come over to my work and try to get it to start, but it didn't even work for him. We left it there and went back Saturday to try to get it going, but it still wouldn't budge. We ended up calling a tow truck to take it over to the dealership. We are thinking it's either the fuel pumps or the crank sensor. We won't know until sometime tomorrow afternoon. I really hope it's the crank sensor since it's the cheaper item to fix. We are down to one car for now, so I'll drop Heath off at work and take his car to my office and then switch drivers when I pick him up in the afternoon. We are both off Tuesday since I have an appointment in the morning and we plan to get some Christmas shopping done while Carleigh is in school. I really hope to have my car back by Wednesday afternoon. Fingers crossed!
I'm not sure if I mentioned this in previous posts, but we are having another baby GIRL! My glucose test is at 8am on Tuesday morning. It's the test where I have to drink that really nasty orange drink in 10 minutes, then wait an hour for the blood test. Heath is coming with me so I don't have to be so bored while waiting. Smart phones are great, but they do get boring after about 10 minutes. I can only play so many rounds of Candy Crush and Words with Friends before I want to fall asleep.
Not a whole lot has been happening in our household. Heath & I have been playing too much Grand Theft Auto Online. I've met a lot of great new friends and enjoy laughing at all of our shenanigans in the evenings and on the weekends. Carleigh's had an off and on cold that keeps springing up whenever it wants. It's a little annoying for all of us. At least it's nothing serious. I started my Christmas shopping a little late this year, but everything will arrive well before the 25th. See... boring stuff. I need to find something more interesting to do.

Mood Swings
Mood swings are the absolute worse thing about being pregnant. At least they are to me at this current moment. I'm not really sure what triggered the mood swings, but I have them and I want to scream. We went shopping at Target and got groceries after that. I was feeling moody at the grocery store and all day after that. It's just awful.
On Thursday, I left work for a couple of hours to see my doctor because I was having some cramp-like pains on my right side. I found out it was just a round ligament and it's totally normal to have. I don't remember having something like that when I was pregnant with Carleigh. It also caused some really awful backaches too. This pregnancy is definitely harder than my first. The doctor also told me I wasn't gaining enough weight. I'm 18 weeks and only up five pounds so far. Honestly, who cares? Every woman is different in her pregnancy. I can't force myself to eat more during the day to gain weight. If I overeat, it will make me nauseous and uncomfortable. The holidays are coming up and I'm sure I'll gain enough weight during then. With Carleigh's pregnancy, I gained too much weight. So I think my body is just taking it easy this time around. My 20 week scan is scheduled for November 6. Then my 3D ultrasound is November 9. It should be fun since Carleigh gets to go to the 3D appointment.
In other news, we paid off my Jaguar last week. I am so excited to no longer have a car payment. Heath's car isn't too far behind. We are getting closer and closer to becoming a one income family. If anything, I'll just have to work part-time to help pad things until we can fully reach that goal. We are trying to avoid having me go back to work full-time after the baby is born because paying for daycare for two is very expensive. Carleigh starts kindergarten next fall, but I'd still rather be home to drop her off and pick her up every day. Otherwise we would have to pay the daycare for morning and after school care. It's just an expense we don't need and would like to try to avoid at all costs. It's doable.
Carleigh is excited for Halloween. She's going to be Minnie Mouse this year. We are taking her to the pumpkin patch tomorrow. We are painting instead of carving this year. It will be less of a mess for me to clean up. That's always a win.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!

Turning 30
This coming work week is a short one. My 30th birthday is on Friday and I decided to take both Thursday & Friday off. Heath is also taking Thursday & Friday off. Our Thursday is going to start out a little lame. We have to wait for the garbage disposal mechanic to show up between 8am-12pm. Something is jammed in it and we need it to start working again ASAP. I am really hoping the company shows up between 8am-9am. We don't have huge plans for Thursday, but I don't want to spend half of my day at home. I am hoping we can go up to Fremont Street and play some games up there like we did last year. Maybe squeeze in a little shopping too. I want to head over to the Dooney & Bourke outlet store and see if any of the purses strike an interest. On Friday, we are going up to Mount Charleston in the early afternoon for some lunch at the lodge and to go hiking on the easy trails. While it's about 107 degrees in Las Vegas, it's going to be 82 degrees on the mountain. It's going to be perfect.
The weather has been getting a little bit nicer around here. It was only 99 degrees yesterday. We took Carleigh to the park before lunch so she could run around and burn off some energy for a nap. We ended up taking her back to the park in the afternoon to play at the water park. She was having a blast. The water park in our community shoots water out of the ground and the kids fill up water balloons and just have a really good time. It's not an actual water park with the slides and lazy river. That kind of water park is a few miles from our house, but I'm not at all interested in going until Carleigh is older because she can't go on any of the other rides except the kiddie area. It would be a waste of money to go right now.
Carleigh is outside playing with the neighbor's right now as Heath washes/waxes my car. I'm actually not sure what he's doing out there. All I know is that he is cleaning my car. He might not be waxing it. My car is way overdue for a bath. I don't take to my car to get washed the entire month of July because that's our monsoon season. I just let it stay dirty from July 1 until sometime in August. It will be nice to drive to work in a clean car again... until some bird takes a crap on it.
At my ultrasound on Monday, I was measuring a week behind and we had a heartbeat of 125bpm. I think I am measuring a week behind because I ovulated a little late in my cycle. My doctor seemed concerned, but I really do hope it was the late ovulation that is causing all of this. I am not having any other complications that would indicate a miscarriage was going to happen. My doctor is having me come back on the 20th for another ultrasound to make sure the baby is growing properly. I was so nauseous on Friday night. I threw up a little bit in the evening after my bath. My fatigue has finally died down this weekend. It was so bad the last couple of weeks. There is no need to take a nap today. It feels great.
