September 2016 Review

Wow I can't believe it's been this long and I haven't updated you guys on whats been going on. Although not much we have been through two months.

September 2016

6th- OMG! The first day of school for the girls and the first day for my job as a crossing guard. So excited and so are the girls... DD#3 starts her first year of JK (if you're reading from another country... here in Canada, once you reach the age of 4 you start Grade school. We start two years of Kindergarten first JK and Then SK and then go in to Gr. 1), She is just so ready other then the potty training that has not happened, thank goodness for the school that has agreed to take her with being in diapers - well pull ups -.


1st- KITTENS!! We had kittens...again!! Yup.. we didn't know our cat was pregnant again and we definitely didn't realize that our male got her before getting fixed. I was kinda annoyed but excited. Believe me I love my animals but being pregnant and taking care of 3 kids and 3 cats and a dog fulltime plus chickens is a lot of work. We love having animals of all different shorts but when you add more to the count it makes more work and takes more time. She did have a litter of 3 but unfortunately it being the long weekend we came back to having one kitten who had past away. She ended up with one male and one female in the end. We had some worry about the female because she had "frog legs" she wasnt able to walk with them but over the period of October she has greatly improved. The male however has been amazing. Very independent and very strong willed.

Around the same time we also put our beloved trailer up for sale. Yes I have a post if you're wondering what it looks like see May 2016 Recap but we decided that the park was just not meant for us as there was not a lot of things for our kids to do and we were tired of the drama.  We are planning on possibly getting another day the road after baby but right now we are happy with our decision to sell.

21st- I have my 16 week ultrasound today and we are hoping find out the gender today but little one had other plans had decided to cross their legs and put their foot under their butt.. It was actually quiet funny.. already being like their mother. I can't not wait to find out though. I was a trying to keep it a surprise but being a mother of 3 I feel like I need to know, it's hard finding gender neutral clothing.

28th- Attended and joined the Parent Council today. I am not officially the treasurer of my girls school. Kinda Nervous and exciting but definitely getting out of my comfort level.

29th-Oct1st- We decided to take a small family Vacation to our favourite place Niagara Falls.. This time we stayed at the Skyline Inn. I made a post review on Facebook about our stay which was great. Also, we decided to go to the Fallsview Waterpark. Absolutely worth every penny. We loved it. The girls had a blast and weren't bored and to be honest we really didn't miss the usually riding around town, boat riding type of visit. We did visit the arcade in the Sheridan this time which is right across the street - well behind the casino - . If you're planning a visit definitely look at this hotel!!


Other then these updates not much has gone on for September. Please stay tune for October's update next week. Leave a comment, let me know that you've been here and if you have a blog or a vlog.

Twelve Week Ultrasound

Monday morning was probably the worst morning I have ever had. I hardly slept the night before. - If you haven't already and would like to here is the link to my direct miscarriage story last year.- Now once you read that you'll understand exactly where I am coming from or you may have done through this yourself.

Anyway, as I was saying I was extremely nervous, my aniexty was in full force and I was just wanting to get the ultrasound over with.  We arrived at the hospital for our appointment (DH came with) and we checked in. Once checked in you're asked to wait in the waiting room with other VERY pregnant women and in my head I was thinking, oh how I wish I didn't have to worry about anything and I want to just get there and be that big and out of breath and be able to feel my baby move. I couldn't talk to anyone, I couldn't think. It was an insane feeling for me. I have never been this way in any pregnancy but since my losses it has been hard. It felt like I was in a bad dream and it was never going to end.

We waited for a good hour before the one tech called me in and she wasn't like the last tech I had for my first ultrasound at the hospital. She was professional and kinda rude - Rant: which honestly I don't understand. If you're going to work with people who are pregnant and you're going to be in kinda personal space then i think you should be somewhat of a professional but also a people person. There is no reason be rude. End of Rant - she told me to lay on the bed and put my end at the very top and lay still so, I did just that. She told me to relax and i told her that all I wanted to know was if there was a heartbeat or not. She said how come and I said that I had a miscarriage last year at 12 weeks and just was going nuts. She started ultrasound and the only thing she said to me was you have a jumping bean with a great heartbeat.

The feeling of relief is unreal. I don't even know how to explain the feeling that came over me in the moment. My emotions were all over the place, I felt like I could just cry tears of joy in that moment but I also wanted to scream with happiness and thank the lord for allowing me to carry a child again.

Anyway the appointment went. Doctor said that everything is great. Baby has no sign of down syndrome at this point and I go back for my next appointment on September 21st.

I announced out pregnancy to Facebook world yesterday and I was overly excited to share the news. I know that this will have a great outcome and I am so very thankful for this baby.

Update... It's Been To Long!

Hey everyone,


I know I haven't been around much in the past two months and I apologize. I mean I do have a valid explanation for it... Its a practical one. Really...

First the girls finished school and started camp and it was an awesome 6 weeks... wrong.. it was alright for the first two and then I got the call that would make any parent cringe, CAS wanted to make a visit Why!? You ask well here is what happen: I set my girls to school and DD#1 has Autism and ADHD, well she is a special one I tell ya, she decided to mention she was hungry, my kids HATE breakfast in the morning so I send them with extra snacks to get them through the day. Anyway, as I was saying, she mention she was angry to one of her Camp Leaders and that Camp Leader i guess had a problem with the way she dressed, mind you I don't send my kids in rags, but she did and then she came to the conclusion we had no food in our home and we were starving our kids. Well let me tell you when I got this call how LIVID I was. It was like seriously, she is always hungry and she never stops eating...if I don't put my foot down she would eat me out of house and home but really I was crazy mad and I went picked up my girls from Camp and got a hold of the principle running it and she was like "I am so sorry, the call was made before I could explain to the girl about Hailie." the principle knows my girls very well, we have a great relationship. Anyway they came and did there investigation and this girl seemed genuine. I mean we believed her when she said that she didn't have any concerns and everything was great at home and that there may be a few things we need to fix... like our mattress is on the floor with our a bed frame because it broke and we aren't sleeping on it but for reasons I had to split up my girls sleeping arrangements so, because DD#1 is sleeping on our mattress in our room we need to get another bed frame. Anyway, after two weeks and the annoyance of this girl just trying to find something wrong with our parenting, she finally closed the file. That was a great sigh of relief... I tell ya this parenting thing is not easy but we try our best!

Moving On......

So, that was one of the reasons I haven't been around for the last 2 months. You see it's time for a fertility update:

So, as I started in my last update May Recap, I updated you regarding my cycle.. well May 30th they started me on CD3 and on my Femara 5mg for cycles day 3-7. I went back June 9th to measure my follicles and to my surprise 1.7 and 1.9cm. I was thrilled. They told me I should ovulate within the next few days. Well I did the next day June 10th I ovulated!! OMG!! I was thrilled. Of course we BD and I took an easy the rest of the weekend but it was great to know that this could be it. I tested the next day and knew my TWW was starting and I was scared and nervous but I knew that if it was meant to happen it would. Well I am proud to say that June 21st 11dpo I found out we were expecting out RAINBOW baby and I was ecstatic. We are currently 11 weeks and I am finally almost over the horrible morning sickness... I can't eat dairy, meat or anything else that smells except for pickles!!
