I had to drink the dreaded glucose yuck!! I found out when you have this do and you are not pregnant you get the pleasure of drinking twice as much. Oh, joy! The reason the doctor thought I needed to have this test is I have been having some crazy symptoms i.e. moodiness, fatigue, and unable to loose weight. I am a fat bitch. Turns out I have Insulin Resistance. That means that my body makes too much insulin, which could be causing my symptoms. How do you treat it? You loose weight. Therefore, I am going to jump on the bandwagon with my crazy brother and go on his fruit, vegetables, and beans (with no salt) only diet. He has been on it since February and has lost 30 pounds. My goal is to lose 60 pounds. I plan to document my progress on a separate blog if any one is interested. I may even put up a before picture. I think this is going to be a lifestyle change that is going to take awhile for me to get used to, but it is something I really want to do for my daughter and myself. I am sure my husband will like it too. So, if you come to my houses for dinner bring a head of lettuce and toilet paper. I have a feeling the need for toilet paper in this house is about to skyrocket.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-50034995652482871052009-04-22T16:21:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:22:08.165-04:00FYIIf your child had the chicken pox vaccine, they can probably will get the chicken pox.<br />I took Kay to the doctor yesterday. We had to go to the back entrance. They put us right in a room. The doctor came checked out her spots and confirmed what I had already diagnosed her with on the Internet. Chicken pox!!! Oh and just for good measure and ear infection as well. I had no idea that her ear even hurt. She has never had an ear infection before!!!<br />Off we went out the back entrance with an antibiotic and some really strong antihistamine. They did not even want me to go up front and pay my co pay. They just wanted us out. My poor baby is miserable. I told her not to scratch so she is rolling around on the carpet. Sad I know. I was told that since she had the vaccine they would not be as bad or last as long. So, the vaccine was worth it. Although a little heads up that she could still catch them would have been nice. Oh and by the way, my hubby has not had them or the vaccine. Fun times ahead!!<br /><br />Did anyone watch the Jon and Kate “Going Green” episode Sunday night? I cannot believe the audacity of Kate. She was complaining the entire time. I mean come on Kate. I really used to like you. I thought you were a real mom in the real world, but now you have all the money you could want, and you think it is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ok</span> to treat people like shit. Where would you be if it were not for your TV show? I mean really. One more thing please stop playing with your earring. I am concerned for the safely of your earlobe.<br /><br />Hope that you all have a great hump day!!!Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-44804399882340121532009-04-21T10:23:00.001-04:002009-04-21T10:23:53.106-04:00SpotsOK so Kay has had a fever since Sunday. Nothing seems to hurt, but she does have a runny nose. She woke me up last night COVRED in spots. She looks like my Dalmatian. I am like great we are going to have to go to the doctor. It was about 1:00a.m and she was miserable. The weird thing is they are mostly on her feet and hands. I call the doctor and they said it sounds like chicken pox. Wait she had the vaccine. Turns out you can still get them even if you have the vaccine. Hmmmm could have saved some money. Anyway I am getting ready to take her. Oh and by the way, they asked us to enter through the back door. I will keep you posted.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-58208198936651521772009-04-15T06:00:00.000-04:002009-04-15T06:00:03.622-04:00<p>50 Things<br /><br />Here are 50 things about me you may or may not want to know.<br /> <br />I believe in God I am a Christian.<br />My parents were married until I was 21.<br />My mom has had breast cancer twice.<br />I have two brothers my oldest died when he was born.<br />I met my husband at an EMT class.<br />I took the EMT class to meet boys.<br />I did not like my husband when I first met him.<br />My first speeding ticket was for 38mph in a 35mph zone.<br />My second was 78mph in a 45mph zone.<br />My father in law is a preacher.<br />I rarely agree with what he says.<br />I believe that ALL people should have the same rights.<br />I am a democrat<br />My dad is a democrat<br />My mom is a republican<br />I am scared of vomit.<br />I have a friend who is scared of pubic hair.<br />I have OCD<br />I have OCD<br />I wash my hands at least 20 times a day.<br />I use a roll of paper towels a day.<br />I am really starting not to like Kate Gosslien.<br />I am excited that Anna Dugger is pregnant.<br />I pray the same prayer every night.<br />I love reading blogs.<br />I wish I could write better.<br />I have nightmares about the NICU<br />I hate to have people spend the night with me.<br />The first boy I ever kissed was named Will.<br />My moms first kiss was Will’s dad.<br />I love the TV show Bewitched I DVR it everyday.<br />I had my daughters named picked out since I was 17.<br />I had my daughter when I was 28.<br />I cursed my doctor when I was in the hospital on bed rest<br />My mother and father in law once had an accident during sex.<br />I am VERY sorry I know this.<br />I had to go in the bathroom and laugh while we were at the hospital with them.<br />My father in law thinks that I think he had a hernia<br />I know that a very close friend of mine is having an affair.<br />I like to read.<br />I like to roller skate.<br />I was bullied in middle and high school.<br />I have a learning disability in math.<br />I went to nursing school, but had to quit.

He loves the boobs. Since we have been married I have come to realize if he is having a bad day or is just in a crappy mood, a little flash of boob and he is good to go. The other day we had a communication break down. He thought that he was supposed to go by the vet and pick up Annie’s medicine I thought I was supposed to go. Anyhow we both ended up at the vets office at the same time. I pulled beside him. It was raining and kind of chilly. He was sitting in his vehicle with his windshield wipers going and his lights on. I waved and smiled. Then I had a great idea show him some boob and make his day. I was getting everything ready and was just about to pull out the goods when his window went down. IT WAS NOT MY HUSBAND!!! You see he was in his company vehicle that has dark tinted windows. He had gone into the vets office while his coworker stayed in the car to wait on him. Do you know what would have happened if he had not rolled down his window at that exact moment? I would be packing my stuff and moving. I do still keep asking myself the same question repeatedly, why? Why did he roll down his window right then? I am very glad he did. He saved my dignity. Lesson learned. Keep the strip shows for the hubby at homeKymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-42330363976141204062009-03-27T21:39:00.000-04:002009-03-27T21:42:10.912-04:00Something Nice??Have you ever wanted to do something nice for someone? Have you ever done something nice for someone just to have them tell you thanks, but no thanks? Well that happened to me. I am not particularly close to my in laws. Do not get me wrong I am not at war with them. We just see things differently. I thought for their anniversary my husband and I should do something special for them. (OK we kinda forgot last year, and it was a big one.) I booked them a really nice cabin in the mountains for two nights. It was all set they could take their dog and all. I called and told my MIL she was giddy with excitement. She told me that she had really wanted to go somewhere. Well about two hours later she called to inform me that my FIL did not want to go. His reason? He did not really have one. He did mention that they did not have enough money to eat if they went. OK I get that but, it has a full kitchen you can cook all of your meals. Breakfast was provided. I mean they are going to eat somewhere. When I called them back last night they were OUT eating dinner. What do you think the deal is? Is he afraid that I am going to send him to a place with vibrating beds and, a condom machine in the bathroom? I do not know why he does not want to go, but my feelings are really hurt.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-85672337940780658692009-03-24T13:21:00.002-04:002009-03-24T13:57:29.018-04:00I'm Back!!!OK for my one reader out there I am back to blogging. I have been reading blogs all along. Yes that is me stalking your blog. You all have such interesting things to say. The way you ladies express yourselves is phenomenal. I am not even close to being a writer, but every now and then I have a funny story to tell.<br /><br />As for the family...we are doing well. Miss Kay will not wear her glasses. I have tried EVERYTHING!!!! We are now putting Atropine drops in her "good" eye every third day. She is now crossing her "good" eye, but I am told that is normal. She goes back to the doctor in April.<br /><br />We finally moved into our new house. It has been almost three years since we left our old one. I still get home sick for the old house and town, but I am much better than I was.<br /><br />Well hopefully this will last and I can share some of my crazy stories.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-34902233715654215962008-05-21T21:57:00.006-04:002008-05-22T20:49:39.249-04:00Where Have I been?Oh my gosh where have I been??? The following letters to my loved ones should sum just about everything up.<br /><br />Dearest Daughter:<br />My love you have grown up so much in these months. You have experienced so many new things. You have a cousin now. I thought that it would be life altering for you to have to share Nana, but you have done wonderful.<br />You celebrated your second birthday. We had the exact same party that we did for your first. We did not have clowns or balloon animals, but just as exciting was a child that had a vomit fest in the buffet line as everyone was gathering to eat. Bless him. You missed all the excitement because you were outside already eating cake. Your barf<span style="color:#ffff00;">- phobic</span> mother on the other hand witnessed the entire thing. I will NEVER forget your second birthday.<br />My sweet darling your vocabulary has blossomed. I thought you might be a quite shy child, but it turns out you are completely the opposite. In fact you would be very happy to go with a stranger. This is very scary to me.<br />While we are still working on potty training you have mastered the art of removing all of your clothes including your poop filled diaper, and placing it on the dogs head.<br />You have also become quite the artist. In a span of about five seconds you can find a sharpie and do one heck of a masterpiece. Not just on the walls, but the couch, recliner, and the end tables. Thank you God for magic erasers.<br />You have and your puppy Manly have a special bond. You were very quick to notice that he had an extra part. I have always heard that I should be honest an up front with you about "private parts" so that you don't feel uncomfortable coming to me in the future if need be, However when we have company the first thing you do is roll Manly over point and say penis repeatably it makes me a little uncomfortable. My love I cannot believe that you are two and half years old. I have no clue what I did without you. You are the love my life.<br />Love,<br />Mommy<br /><br /><br />Dearest Husband:<br />You have been to the doctor in the last three months more than you have been in the ten years we have been married combined. You turned thirty three and fell apart. I started wondering if maybe I should call a handy man from now on when something simple needs to be done around the house. Of course I am referring to the light incident when you knocked yourself out with a pair of pliers and the proceeded to fall off the table.<br />Clearly the bump on your head caused you to forget when it not <span style="color:#ffff00;">OK</span> to laugh at your wife. Let me give some examples:<br />When she is running-Not OK It is also not advisable to make comments on why your laughing. "You never run and it is really funny when you do." You must have forgotten the fireworks incident when I had to "run for my life" (that is for you Susie)<br /><br />When you request chicken wings for dinner and your loving wife goes out and purchases chicken wings only to discover that what she really needed was drumetts. OK that was kinda funny, but laughing at me gaging because I realized they had hair on them... not funny.<br /><br />I have had to spend twenty four hours a day with you for three weeks now. I am glad that you knee seems to be OK. Again I am sorry that after your surgery while you still drugged I told you that you were missing your ACL not that it was slighty imparied. You were so upset that you demanded to speak to the doctor right away. Wow give you a few drugs and you get a little bit of a backbone.<br />You are the best and I love you dearly.<br />Love,<br />WifeKymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-50334205714747048902007-09-19T13:58:00.000-04:002007-09-20T19:20:44.910-04:00My Husband Has a MistressMy Husband has a mistress. I will call her Ava. She has been around for a long time. I knew about her before we were married. I knew that after we were married she would remain in his life. I am sure she will be in his life forever. You would think that after nine years of marriage I would come first, but that is not always the case. She calls at all hours of the day and night. I cannot begin to count the number of holidays and family events he has missed because of her. A few years ago, “M” who is five came to live with us. He was a result of Ava. My husband had to go away for five weeks when he found out that M was coming. I went to visit him and M for a few days. Let me tell you M hated me! The feeling was mutual. I did not want him in my house. I thought that I had made a huge mistake letting my husband take on this responsibility. My friends and family told me I was crazy. I could have put my foot down, but my husband was convinced that it was what he wanted, and he would take complete care of him. For the most part he does. I have on occasion had to keep him why my husband is out of town, but that is rare. He goes to work with him everyday and they have a special bond. I do still get jealous of M. He takes up time that my husband could be spending with our daughter and me. My daughter loves him. He loves her. I was very scared that when we brought my daughter home that M would have issues. He has loved her from day one. I have grown to love him, and he is a part of the family now.<br /><br />You are probably wondering why I put up with this. The truth is I have often thought about giving him an ultimatum that it is her or me. Then I have to remember she has made him into the person he is today. Without her, I am afraid that he would not have any goals or ambition. Because of her, my husband went to college. He is the first person in his family EVER to go to college. Therefore, I will continue to put up with her. After all, I have a husband that many consider a hero and a “fire sniffer” black lab named M that my daughter and I adore.<br /><br /><br />***I have read different stories like this from other fire and police wives. This is mine.***Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-1873756845043512712007-09-19T11:59:00.000-04:002007-09-19T12:11:30.617-04:00It's A girl!!!So I am only a week late posting this. I am officially an aunt. My <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">SIL</span> did a wonderful job. Avery is a beautiful baby girl. She weighed 8lbs 1oz. I got to see her for about five minutes. I cannot wait to go back and visit her again. There is nothing in this world that makes you think about wanting another baby until you hold one that is just a few minutes old.<br /><br />Turns out my mom was not in the room. When it came down to pushing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SIL</span> kicked everyone out.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-53139032682337629922007-09-04T21:44:00.000-04:002007-09-04T22:00:30.160-04:00It Has Been AwhileWow I have not been able to blog in a long time. I am having computer problems. I have been busy. My dad had knee surgery. I have been having to drive two hours each way everyday to go see him. He is doing much better now.<br /><br />In more exciting news K has really began to talk. It happened all at once. DH went out of town and when he came home she was talking. She is growing up so fast.<br /><br />My <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">SIL</span> is due any day now. I am so excited. OK so I have a question. You know that when K was born I had an emergency c-section. I had always dreamed of giving birth and having my mom in the room, well it just didn't work out. I have always felt like I let my mom down because she was really excited about being there for the birth and all. So my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SIL</span> tells me today that she is planning on asking my mom to be in the room when her baby is born. I am jealous! My question is am I just being too sensitive? I love my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">SIL</span> and I want her labor and delivery to go just as she has planned, but I am still a little green.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-13399201613228716852007-08-10T10:38:00.000-04:002007-08-10T10:51:34.316-04:00Sorry HoneyI realized that in my last post I was hard on my husband. I love him dearly. He is a great father to K. When I first found out I was having a girl I was a little scared of how his relationship would be with her. My DH did not really think that there was really a baby in my stomach. He was very detached during my pregnancy. When I was in the O.R. and she was born he looked at me and said, "I can't believe she was in there." Of course he was able to go and see her before they took her to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">NICU</span>, when he came back to me he said "she cannot date until she is thirty." It was like he finally realized that he was a dad. All that night he would rub my arm and say "I can't believe we did this, we are parents." From the moment she was born he has had nothing but love for her. I am amazed at the patience he has I could not ask for a better father for her. So even though I am hard on him sometimes I do love him with all of my heart. Although I am not happy with our current situation, I am happy to be married to him and have the wonderful daughter that we have.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-23289014543527960382007-08-08T12:32:00.000-04:002007-08-09T21:50:01.989-04:00I'm Home???My DH and I had been married for three years when he dropped a bomb on me. He was not happy at his current job and wanted a change. I hate change. He found a job that was two hours away from the town I had called home for twenty four years. He told me that this was his dream job, and that we could move in the middle which would only put us an hour away from ALL of our family. I wanted to be a supportive wife, and I was unhappy at my current job. This was an excellent opportunity to quit with a good reason. So we made the move at first I hated it. I did not unpack for two weeks. One day my new neighbor came over to say hello and see if we were settled in. She walked in and saw all the unopened boxes. I was embarrassed and made up an excuse about being busy with other things and just not having time. She is looked at me like I was crazy. I mean I didn't have a job so what was I doing? Nothing, I was sitting on the couch with no remote (it was in a box) watching T.V. I was feeling sorry for myself. She told me that she was home for the rest of the day and that she would be right back. When she came back she brought margaritas and a radio. At the end of the day every single box was unpacked. I grew to love that house and my neighbors. I had new friends and everything was great. I was now ready to start a family. Well that was easier said then done. In the meantime I went back to school and got my dream job! All was great. Then it got even better. I got pregnant. In the middle of my pregnancy guess what? DH again decided he needed a change. Great. We would have to move again. Only twenty miles this time, but still new town <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">yada</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">yada</span>. The main thing is that instead of working twenty four hour shifts it would be 8-5 M-F. I know some of you are thinking that's good, but I was used to having time to myself every third day. I was really against it. I felt that we were settled. I loved my house and my friends, but I just did not have the strength to fight him. The day we closed on our house was bad. We sold our house faster than anticipated (despite the fact that the for sale signs were "stolen"....twice) and we had to move into a rental. I HATE where we live. It has almost been a year and I hate it. Is it because I live in a house that is not mine? Is it because I had to yet again leave my comfort zone? I really don't know. This change has caused friction between DH and I. I resent the choice a lot. I thought we were set where we were. I feel like he has cheated me from my dream. He has stressed me out more than I could ever explain to you here. This is not what I had in mind. I am angry at him. Today I took K over to our old neighbors house for a play date. It was the first time I have been there since we moved. When we were leaving I cried (in the car) for a little while. My heart aches to go back in time and tell my husband he is crazy, but I can't. If only I would have spoken up. I know you are all thinking I will get over this and grow to love it here too. I only hope that you are right. I love my husband. We have been through a lot together. He just wants to follow his dreams. I can't fault him for that.Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-75287063410681274752007-08-06T09:48:00.000-04:002007-08-06T09:58:14.162-04:00MondayA few random thoughts for Monday:<br /><br /><br />It is HOT!!!<br /><br />I have some toys that were involved in the recall.<br /><br />My daughter needs to wear 12mos in the waist, but they are way to short.

Everyone said this time would go by fast. How can it go by this fast? Last night I was cleaning up the toys in the living room and I told K to go to her room and put all of her toys in her basket...she did it!!!!!! That's Mommy's little cleaner! Now if I can teach her to fold laundry and cook dinner will be in business.<br /><br />In other news I think I scared her with the potty. (I going to tell a poop story) She let me know that she had poop in her diaper. I thought it would be a great time to show her where we put the poop and what we do with it. So I put the poop in the toilet and we said bye bye poop. Well when she looked in the toilet and saw that her poop was gone she had a meltdown. I really hope that I have not ruined potty training.<br /><br />I am still waiting o n my niece to be born. I have five more weeks. I cannot wait. My DH is an only child and I only have the one brother so I am very excited about becoming an aunt. I really never thought that my brother would get married and have kids, but he found this fantastic woman and fortunately he was smart enough to marry her. I really could not ask for a better <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">SIL</span>. I left my child alone with her for over an hour. That says <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">alot</span> right there. Besides my mom and my MIL she is the only one. That is a whole different story for another blog.<br />Hope everyone has a great weekend.</span>Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-90106358975401013612007-07-31T11:40:00.000-04:002007-07-31T11:45:56.054-04:00Mommy Test<span style="color:#339999;">This is an email I got this morning. I thought it was true and worth sharing. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#339999;"><br /></span><span style="color:#333333;">Mommy test<br /><br />I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.<br /><br />"Why?" my daughter asked.<br />"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been,it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.<br />At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Mommy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."<br />I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."<br />We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.<br /><br />OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy."<br /><br />"Exactly!" I replied back with a big smile on my face.<br />When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mom </span>Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-8309726766275865332007-07-30T12:22:00.000-04:002007-07-30T20:33:16.651-04:00My body is not what it used to beSo my DH and I were talking about having another baby. Nothing serious just talking. I was asking him what he thought about me trying to have a VBAC next time around. He said "A what?" I told him that it means I would try and have my next child "regular" ( I am using man terms for his sake) instead of a c-section. He said "why it was so easy to have the c-section." OK it was not easy!!!!! Easy for him maybe for me not so much. Anyway I got to thinking maybe it would be easier. I told him well if I did have a c-section I would still have the vagina of a twenty year old. Without missing a beat he said "wow are you going to have vaginaplasty?" "You know you and your vagina are thirty."

At first I thought it was "mine" then I thought it was 'Come on". Now I am clueless!!!! I need a baby translator. It sounds like "ma" and she says it when she wants something, when she has dropped something, when she sees something, pretty much all the time. What does it mean???? I know that she is behind in her verbal skills. Apparently a twenty month old should be talking a lot more. She does say a few words that are clear to me, but I don't know if anyone else knows what she is saying. It is very frustrating to me and I know it is to her as well. The pediatrician told me that if she was not saying 50 words by the time she was two, we would need to put her in speech therapy. Well we have four months.<br /><br />Words she does say:<br />shoes<br />outside<br />mama<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Dada</span><br />juice<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ut</span> oh<br />hot<br />cold<br />papa<br />paw-paw<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Nana</span><br />spots<br />ouch<br />blocks<br />upKymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-34061264766252235032007-07-24T12:32:00.000-04:002007-07-24T13:34:52.958-04:00Bathroom FloorOK so I am a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">completely grossed out by germs</span>. My little pumpkin is not. It is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">completely</span> fine with her to eat off the floor. She is so fast. I know that I cannot keep her in a bubble, but it is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">completely</span> grossing me out. I just hope that I can keep her from doing what I saw a child doing yesterday..........<br />I am out shopping and I had to pee. (For those who know me you know I must have REALLY had to pee to g0 into a public bathroom) So I roll K in her stroller into the handicap stall. I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">squatting</span> and peeing, and I look down and there are two eyes looking at me. I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">startled</span>. It is a little boy and he is now waving. He has crawled all they way from the first stall down to mine (the last) on his belly, hands, knees, whatever. I never said anything, but I was like wow. Now this little boy was not old enough to walk. There are so many reasons why he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">should</span> not have been on the floor in a public bathroom and while germs is a big one, what about someone snatching him up and taking him? I finished what I was doing and made my way to the sink. When I was at the sink the mother came out of her stall and went to the next one to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">retrieve</span> her son. Then they both walk out. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">That's</span> right she did not wash her hands or the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">baby's</span> that had just been crawling on the floor. I really hoped that I did not see them at the food court. I mean come on is it me or is that just nasty???Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-21726044365321829582007-07-23T09:37:00.000-04:002007-07-23T09:46:25.652-04:00Pink Fuzzy HandcuffsOK random thoughts for Monday.<br />1.)

I read a lot of blogs and really enjoy them. So from here on I hope to post everyday. OK a least twice a week. </span><br /><span style="color:#9999ff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#9999ff;">I really don't know what to blog about. Kinda scared to blog about the family because you never know who could be reading. Then again it will all be true and maybe that is what they need a little truth.</span>Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109070493380600068.post-70664923979766346552006-11-12T22:33:00.000-05:002006-11-12T23:14:45.261-05:00My first post!!<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;">OK so I am new at this blog thing. I am kinda thinking it will be like free therapy. My first post is going to be kinda long so please get a snack and something to drink. Let me just take you back to last year at this time. I was in the hospital pregnant with my little pumpkin. I gotta tell you I did not feel so hot. I was on magnesium sulfate which by the way SUCKS!!! I remember Dr. P and the nurse saying its OK you are just going to feel like you have the flu. OK maybe I have never had a bad case of the flu, but this stuff was HELL!!!! I could not move I literally had to be pulled up in the bed. They brought me chicken broth to eat and I poured it on the floor involuntarily. If you are reading this and you might have to get a good dose of mag sulfate beware it does make you feel like crap, but it was well worth it. It kept me pregnant long enough to get the steroids for Pumpkins lungs. So fast forward a couple of days because to be honest I do not remember the details because of my drug induced stupor. On November 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">th</span> when I was 32 weeks Dr. P came into my room and said today is the day. My blood pressure had gone up it was 210/160 that morning and my body could just not take anymore. So within minutes I was in the O.R. Then the most amazing thing happened out of my really big stomach came a beautiful little girl. She weighed 4lbs 1oz and was 16 1/2 inches long. She was breathing on her own and was whisked away to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">NICU</span>. She would spend 49 days there fighting for her life. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">NICU</span> life is like riding a roller coaster. There were good days there were bad days. The worst day was Dec.8<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">th</span>. She was diagnosed with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">NEC</span> they caught it very early and she was treated with antibiotics and had nothing to eat for 14 days. She is strong that child of mine. She finally came home on Jan. 6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">th</span>. Since then I have been learning how to be a mom. Not something they teach in school. I should have started this long ago, but time has not been something I have a lot of. So as Pumpkin is about to turn one I hope that I can write about our adventures. </span>Kymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02734841160836021554noreply@blogger.com0
