This morning I had to leave work after being there only an hour. I started to get frequent contractions. They were a few minutes apart and lasting anywhere from 30-60 seconds. Once I got to the hospital, they sent me into triage and told me to pee in a cup and put on my gown. They hooked me up to track my contractions and blood pressure. Heath showed up maybe five minutes after I got there. The contractions kept coming. The nurse and doctor told me it was probably a UTI. Getting a UTI is very common in pregnancy. The doctor (who delivered Carleigh) checked for dilation and found that I was only one centimeter dilated. So I'm starting to open up down there, but nothing to be alarmed about. I could stay that way for the next couple of weeks. Once the doctor confirmed that I had a UTI, they gave me a lot more water to drink and some cranberry juice. I was also given a shot to stop the contractions. That thing hurt so bad. It felt like the needle was still in my arm after the nurse took it out. The shot did work and the contractions stopped. I was released around 11:20am. They sent me off with a prescription for the UTI. It was so exhausting being in there. It's quiet in triage and nothing to do in there. Thank goodness for smartphones.
Heath & I went out to lunch after I was discharged. We got some fattening Carl's Jr. It was delicious and I am not regretting it at all. After my prescription was filled, I headed home to relax for the rest of the day. I sent a text to my manager and let her know I'd like to stay home to rest all day tomorrow. Since I got approved for that, that's exactly what I am going to do. While home tomorrow, I'm going to work on the baby's room a little bit more and try to get things ready. Today was a sign that the real thing is right around the corner. At least to me. The nurse said she wanted to see me again in four weeks, which would put me at 39 weeks. I'd really love it if baby A would stay in that long too.

It's Almost Time
It's almost that time. Baby A will be here before we know it. When I was at my 34 week check up, I showed my doctor my contraction counter. Since I've been getting a lot of contractions, I wanted to show him and ask him when I needed to go to labor and delivery. He said if I get more than six Braxton Hicks contractions per hour, no matter how long they last or how apart they are, that I need to go in. He told me at this point, he will not give me anything to stop labor since I'm almost full-term. He told me he didn't want to scare me, but I could go at anytime now. I'm not ready for that. I'm ready merchandise-wise, but not ready to have the baby yet. I'd like her to come in March. She's due March 25, so the earliest I would like her to come is March 11. That would put me at 38 weeks. Fingers crossed she will stay until 39/40 weeks though.
Last week, I had to take my cat, Baby, to the vet. Last Friday night, she started to have a problem with her mouth. I thought it was her jaw. She started to drool a lot and could not close her mouth. On Saturday morning, it was still happening so I called the vet. They were able to squeeze us in that afternoon to get her checked out. Turns out, she had an abscessed tooth and two other teeth that were really loose. They did surgery on her and cleaned her teeth. It set us back almost $500, but hey... that's my kitty we're talking about. She was totally worth it. When we brought her home, she was still coming out of her pain killer coma thingy. She couldn't walk at all. It was so horrible, yet funny at the same time. I felt so bad for her, but she's better now. We were sent home with some medication, of course. She's a tough cat. I'm glad we caught this issue in time before it lead to something worse. Baby is 13 years old and I've had her since she was a kitten. She really is my baby... in fur form.
This weekend, we paid off our water softener. That's extra money in our pocket every month. As soon as Wells Fargo let's us start paying on the GTO again, that will be paid off soon too. Heath made such a huge payment on his car that the bank sent him a letter telling him not to pay it until May. I understand they didn't want us to keep paying and paying no interest. Heath told me he wants to pay $1,500 in May just to piss them off again. I think these banks should just STFU and take our money. At least we're paying our bills. I cannot wait until the car is paid off though. We will have two cars paid off. It's been such a long time since we've been free of car loans.
The weather's been getting a lot nicer here, especially this weekend. It's going to be in the high 70s, low 80s all weekend and into next week. We have our windows open in the house and enjoying the fresh air. I got my car washed today after letting it stay dirty for a couple of months. Since I've been since last month and again last week, I wanted all of the germs wiped out of my car too. I'm still trying to get over my cold from last weekend. My nose is kind of stuffy still, but I can smell some things again which is nice.
I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. Heath grilled us some steaks. We do not go out to dinner on Valentine's Day. It's so crazy out there. We bought Carleigh some Crunch bars and Spongebob gummies in the shape of Krabby Patties. Heath got me a ton of my favorite chocolates. And I got Heath his favorite chocolates. It was a fun Valentine's Day. We all had fun, especially Carleigh since she got to exchange Valentine's with her school friend's.

Happy New Year
I realize we're 19 days into the New Year, but I haven't found the time to blog recently. I wanted to update this last weekend, but I had a cold and didn't want to type in between my nasty coughs every three minutes.
Not too much has been going on here. We've been shopping around for a new dining room set, but haven't found anything we liked yet. We plan on waiting until President's Day weekend to purchase one. Maybe then there will be better sales.
Carleigh switched classrooms at school because of a bully. It's really sad that kid's her age bully other children already. This boy calls her names and punches her. The teacher's in her classroom didn't seem to do much of anything about it. This had been an ongoing issue for a couple of months. When we called the director to talk to her about the issue, she gave us the option to have the two separated or to change classrooms. We tried the separation thing for a couple of days, but then that same boy decided to punch Carleigh in the stomach and call her names again. So we called the director again and requested a room change. Carleigh's first day in her new room was on Friday and she came home so happy. Her new teacher said that Carleigh was well-behaved and well-mannered and she loved having her in her classroom. Carleigh did all of her worksheets and had a blast with their art projects. In her other room, the teacher's had a hard time getting her to complete her work or even start it for that matter. I think it was because of that boy bugging her all the time. I'm glad she's happy in her new classroom. She gets to leave preschool once I go on maternity leave. From there, we will just do some homeschool stuff until kindergarten starts in the fall.
Speaking of maternity leave, I plan on leaving when I am at the 36 week mark. That will be the last week of February. I'll be starting week 31 this week. It's crazy how fast time flies by when you're pregnant. I've had some Braxton Hicks contractions every now and again, but nothing that warrants a trip to the hospital. Hopefully it stays that way until my 38th week of pregnancy, although I'd like the baby to stay put until my 40th week. We shall see what happens. Carleigh was born when I was 38 weeks.
It's been in the 70's in Las Vegas the past few days. Heath was out in the backyard clearing out the rest of the rocks today. We want to build our own fire pit back there and then get the dirt delivered to plant the grass. Doing the backyard ourselves is nice, but it's really hard work and takes a long time. We didn't want to spend $2,000 to have a company come in and do it when we could save money by doing it ourselves. It will be so nice once it's all completed. I'll purchase some really nice outdoor furniture and spend all of my free time in the backyard.
I have tomorrow and Tuesday off from work. Carleigh is out of school tomorrow, too. So we are planning on getting some lunch from Subway then taking it to the park for a little picnic. After that, Carleigh can plan on the playground until she wears herself out for the day.

Goodbye 2013
There are still a few days left in 2013, but I might not update my blog again until January. It's been a somewhat quiet year for us, which is a good thing. The most exciting thing that happened for us is finding out we are expecting another baby. We have a name picked out, but I'm not ready to share it. I'd like to be able to keep the name a secret until the baby is born. It's more fun that way.
We had a really great Christmas at our house. Carleigh was so excited to see Santa had left presents for her. She got some new books, clothes, and of course, some toys. She loves her Jake the Pirate Ship and Optimus Prime toys. She also received gift cards and cash from other family members, so she will get to go shopping tomorrow while we are out. Heath & I got a bunch of gift cards, mostly for Target, so you know where we are going tomorrow. Heath bought me a Galaxy Tab 3 and some Prada sunglasses, which I love. Carleigh had pretty much taken over my Kindle Fire awhile back, so I am glad I have my own tablet again. I'll be searching for a cover for it at Target. I got Heath Gran Turismo 6 for the PS3, so he's been playing that in between GTA Online.
My next doctor appointment is Jan 2. Things have been going good. The only complaint I've had lately is the random pressure that I feel in the crotch area. It feels like the baby is trying to come out. Or, for a better explanation, it feels like someone kicked me in the crotch. It hurts like a mofo and I'll find out if it's normal at my appointment. Those pains aren't followed by cramping or bleeding, so I feel it's nothing to worry about. It's probably completely normal.
We still have a lot of shopping, or should I say, ALL of the shopping to do for the baby. Nothing has been done. It's been stressing me out because we had a bunch of Christmas shopping to do and now that Christmas is over, we now have to do baby shopping. It shouldn't take us too long. The registry I started at Target has about 30 items on it. So it's not that bad. Neither side of the family has bothered to ask if we needed anything for this baby. I'm not sure if they plan on buying anything or not, so instead of waiting for them, I'm going out and purchasing everything myself. I have a feeling my parent's and in-law's aren't that excited this time around because this baby is no longer their first. If that makes any sense. They sure seem excited to fly out here the second the baby is born to annoy the ever living shit out of me, though.
I'll be trying to update this blog more often in 2014. With a new baby in the house, we will see how that all goes. I'll have to chase two kid's around instead of one.

Freezing in Las Vegas
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.

You're Not My Interior Designer
Can I go on a rant for the next five minutes?
My father-in-law has said he doesn't like our couch. He thinks it's uncomfortable. Heath & I love it. We bought it a couple of years ago when we had to throw out our old leather couch due to damages. Our couch is a five piece sectional and it's microfiber. It's a great couch for a house with kid's and pets. The couch is comfortable for us. Carleigh always takes naps on it, so it can't be that horrible. And honestly, if you only come out to visit twice a year, stop complaining. If you hate our couch, sit your ass on the floor. Let me know how comfortable that is.
So anyway, my father-in-law kept calling Heath and leaving voicemails today. He even sent a text that was like, "Can you please call me back NOW!!" something like that. When Heath saw that, he was thinking it was some kind of emergency, so while we were shopping, Heath calls his dad back. I could overhear Heath talking about leather. So I turn around and just give him that "seriously, is that what was SO important?" look. His dad kept calling us over a COUCH he saw at Sam's Club. He told Heath that they found a "nice" leather couch and chair set at Sam's Club for $700 and wanted to buy it for us for Christmas because our couch isn't that great and because of our "situation". I don't really know what "situation" he's referring to. First of all, I don't want leather furniture in my house. Not because it sucks, but because we are going to have not one, but two young kids and pets. I'll pass on all leather furniture until we're old and retired. Second of all, you're not our interior decorator. Stop trying to buy furniture for our house. If he liked that set, he should've bought it for his own damn house. Just saying.
I cannot stand the meddling. I think he assumes that since we are going to have two kid's and plan to go one income or me working part-time only that we won't be able to afford anything ever again. He forgets that we are being responsible and not buying two brand new cars every six months. Good for him if he makes six figures, but that doesn't make you "rich" by any means. We have one car paid off and another to follow within the next five to six months. There will be some other random small debts paid off too. If I continued to work full-time and had two kid's in daycare, then we would have a "situation" on our hands because that would be about $1,500/mo for two kid's in daycare.
I just wish they would shut the hell up and worry about themselves. I'm tired of having them make decisions for our family as if we can't make them for ourselves. I'm tired of them assuming we have money troubles. I'm tired of them assuming we can't do anything for ourselves. They have their adult son (25) living with them still because I know they do the same shit to him too. He enjoys it, so he figures why should he ever move out.
All I'm saying is, please let us purchase our own furniture for our house and stop complaining about the furniture we bought. I really don't care if you think our couch is uncomfortable. That's not my problem. We bought our couch because it was comfortable for us. It makes us happy, so deal with it. Sit on some plastic $5 chair from Walmart if you hate our couch that much. No one is stopping you from bringing your own chair.

Life As Usual
Carleigh had a blast during Halloween. She dressed up as Minnie Mouse. We went down our street and the street next to ours. That was enough to fill her plastic pumpkin to the brim. After that, we walked back home so we could hand out some candy. We didn't have as many kid's show up this year like we did last year. I think it's because it was a bit cooler than usual here. We have a decent amount of candy left over. At least it's the good stuff.
This afternoon, we drove to the Galleria Mall in Henderson. It's far from our house now and we rarely go there. We had lunch at Red Robin, another favorite that we don't get to go to often. Heath & I wanted to get our hair cut. I also wanted to buy a comforter for Carleigh's bed, but found a micro fleece sheet set instead. Since it's much cooler here this year than normal (or at least feels that way), I wanted to get her something that would be warmer. We figured a nice fleece sheet set would be best. We don't turn the heat on in our house until it's below 40 degrees at night. The sheet set was listed at $75, but we got it on sale for $34. Not a bad deal.
After the mall, we went over to Target to get a few things for the house. Carleigh ran over to the toy section to play with different things. I found a Red the Firetruck toy and tried to hide it in the cart and give it to her for Christmas, but she spotted it when I put a few other items in the cart. She was so excited to have a new toy. She fell asleep while playing with it in the car. I have other items on Amazon that will be given for Christmas that she won't see until she unwraps them. I loved shopping for Christmas items with Carleigh in the cart when she was too young to understand.
On Wednesday, we find out if we're having a boy or a girl. I'm really excited for that appointment because I just NEED to know what colors to purchase and we can pick out a name. We have a couple of boy names in mind, but still nothing for a girl. I have a few ideas for girl names, so I'll add those to my list tonight after I ask Heath if he likes them too.

After the mall, we went over to Target to get a few things for the house. Carleigh ran over to the toy section to play with different things. I found a Red the Firetruck toy and tried to hide it in the cart and give it to her for Christmas, but she spotted it when I put a few other items in the cart. She was so excited to have a new toy. She fell asleep while playing with it in the car. I have other items on Amazon that will be given for Christmas that she won't see until she unwraps them. I loved shopping for Christmas items with Carleigh in the cart when she was too young to understand.
On Wednesday, we find out if we're having a boy or a girl. I'm really excited for that appointment because I just NEED to know what colors to purchase and we can pick out a name. We have a couple of boy names in mind, but still nothing for a girl. I have a few ideas for girl names, so I'll add those to my list tonight after I ask Heath if he likes them too.
