here is Deshawn... he looks innocent, but he's not!

Catch up

So i haven't written in awhile so where to begin? This week Nate had an exercise and had to work 12 hour shifts. Monday i get a call from NAte around 10:00am to inform me someone was on their way to our house to pick me up so i could take him to the E.R. He wouldn't tell me why until i got there. He was having bad chest pains. So off to the E.R. we went. We sat for 1 hour to get a room, and another hour for the doc to even come in the room. He ordered chest x-rays and again we waited... After the chest x-rays the doctor came in. You could tell he was in a hurry and wouldn't listen to what Nate was saying. He told Nate his chest was fine without any good explanations. So we left feeling worried and annoyed. So this morning i awoke at 7 am to a phone call of Nate telling me hes going back to the E.R. He says i don't have to go but of course i'm worried. This time we didn't have to wait as long and they actually did some blood tests and hooked him up to a heart monitor. The doctor was really nice and explained things to us simple minded folk :) It ended up being Pleurisy... Pleurisy is swelling (inflammation) of the thin layers of tissue (pleura) covering the lungs and the chest wall... copy and paste gotta love it. So it has been a very fun week. On happier note i got a story of my cats... sad i know... So i went grocery shopping and the first thing i do when i get home is put away my bread because my cats always get into it. well i went over to a friends house that night and took hotdogs and buns. when i got back i forgot to put the buns away... see where this is going?I woke up and found the bag of buns in my living room with holes all over it and the bread inside torn to crumbs. i know it was Deshawn... i just can't prove it. And thats my cat story... even as i'm typing hes sitting on my desk staring at the screen... he's such a weird little thing. We went over to our friends house tonight and they have the Wii fit game. so i did it and found out my weight... I have gained a total of 18 lbs... thats 7 lbs since my last doctors appt... i don't think that is very healthy. but what do i know. it is my first one. I have been walking more this week, i found a place behind the softball park where i can let the dogs off the leash and just walk. They love it. i haven't seen them so excited in awhile. I took 3 walks this week. For me that's good but i do need to go more. I guess thats all for now... sorry nothing exciting. for my one and only reader :) love you kari

This is me at 21 weeks. i will get another belly shot up soon

proof that she is a girl :)

Here is a few pics of baby Lily and my belly at 19 weeks

My first post

Okay Kari, this is for you. i have no idea what im doing so you will have to help me! Today i started working on my baby "quilt." Not sure how well it will turn out since i haven't sewn since 8th grade, but i'm sure going to try. I am making it out of my old clothes I can no longer wear... mainly shorts. I've been ripping the seams out and so far only have 4 shorts done. But it gives me something to do during the day since Nate won't let me work. Also i've been kind of sick this week so i haven't been in the mood to clean so instead i've been doing crafts infront of the T.V. Yes i know i'm very lazy but i better soak it up while i can because in 4 months i will not be able to do that :) YAY!!! Me and Nate went to Costco today as well. We got me some fruit... they have the best fruit. I am always craving strawberries and they have some amazing ones right now. So yummy. As you can see my days are pretty boring. I don't do much. Mostly clean, relax, and play with my many pets. They keep me entertained while Nate is at work. One funny story and i won't talk about them anymore... We have been puppy sitting a 4 month old corgi named Bella. For some reason she loves Jackie (my fat orange cat) but of course Jackie doesn't love her back. She follows Jackie everywhere, if she gets too close Jackie tells her off and slaps her in the face, luckily she doesn't have any claws. I was sitting on the couch and watched Bella go into the 2nd bedroom. Next thing i hear is yelping, i go to investigate and find Bella running laps around the room with Jackie on her heels. I guess she really made Jackied mad this time. When Bella saw me she hid behind me and when i walked into the room to look under the desk at Jackie, Bella followed me in but kept a safe distance. It's one of those times i wished i had a video camera. Nate has been working 12 hour shifts this week and it has been pretty lonely. He got off at 9:30 this morning so that was exciting.
