10 1/2 days....WOOHOO!

So, I was at the Doc's today and I am now 60% effaced and 3 cm dilated. I am also at zero station. WOOHOO! *Do a happy dance* However, this SUCKS for me since now I walk like I am in a "Let's see how far you can walk with a balloon in between your legs" race. If Bella doesn't come before then (which the doctor thinks I will go before then) we are inducing on October 13. That's why it is 10 1/2. Because at 9:15 at night I can't say 10 and be honest, but saying 11 seems SO much longer. :)


A week and a half ago, my brother in law, Elias, took my boys to the zoo. I was SOOOO grateful to him for taking them. They were gone for almost 4 hours!!! WOOHOO! It goes Ana'Li, Wyatt, Kane and Martin.


This is Kane's first day of first grade. Yes, it's our van. No, it's not our home. :) Those are the homes "in renovation" Ours is another building to the right of the pic. Maybe I should have taken a picture of it before Old Man Winter came in and froze my plants up! I didn't even think about taking a pic of my garden. :)

16 days....

So I only have 16 days left. I have been BEGGING Bella to come out...like yesterday! But now my two lil ones are sick, sick, sick and I am now begging Bella NOT to come out quite yet.

We are getting both tested for the swine flu later. The Dr. thinks based on their symptoms they may have it. Which makes me even MORE sad because I only got the seasonal influenza shot. I hope I don't get sick. And CC?!?!?! He is saving his vacation and sick and personal time for being at home when Bella is born!!!! He can't stay home for a week because of H1N1! Arrggghhhhh.

Kane and Wyatt in their Steelers jerseys. It was their first football game of the season. I was working. :( They look so handsome. 2008

Kane wanted to sport a mohawk. It was very short lived. About 30 minutes later he wanted me to wash it out. LOL


Wyatt. This is when we were at Children's. He got ear tubes. This is before the tubes.

So much junk....

My friend Amber (whom I haven't talked to since FOREVER!!) informed me that my blog was private. Well, it isn't anymore. Since I haven't seen Amber since I came to Omaha while I was pregnant with Wyatt, I figured she hasn't seen many pics of my kids! And everyone reading knows how much I LOVE pics of my boys!

So here is a bunch of pics of my boys!!!! (maybe a few of me and CC too!)


Kane when he was born. :)

Ok. So there is a 2 year difference from the last pic to this one. I know. I am getting tired and I get frustrated sometimes when I can't upload a bajillion pics at once. That's why I love Facebook!

Shooting behind me...

Last night I was trying to con my sister into getting off the phone with a friend to play Wii Fit. Kane was up waiting for her so he can watch her Hula Hoop. heehee

She was saying, "Can you call me back..." when we heard it. Shots.

Now I have lived in North Omaha for awhile and have heard gun shots before. I think the closest that I have been was 2 blocks. That sounds pretty close though. So imagine my horror when we heard shots that were literally behind me. The back of my yard is a tall fence that Omaha Housing Authority put up. It separates the projects from the non project houses. Where were these shots fired then? On the other side of the fence.

CC was upstairs putting Wyatt to bed. We were in the living room and the boys room faces the front too. So Allie, when the shots were all over (about 15 of them) dropped to the floor. When you hear shots, your generally supposed to drop to the floor immediately...not after they are done. LOL

CC called me, which was unusual because he never takes his phone upstairs, and he went to the window that faces the shooting (not very intelligent, I know) and lets me know that there are so many people running from the neighborhood to the shooting. Then we hear police and a WHOLE bunch of people start running from the shooting to guess where? Our street. CC yells at us to turn off all the lights so none of the runners will try and come into our house. A few jumped our fence and ran through our back yard to the front yard. The police slammed on their breaks in front of our house and ran out with their guns drawn. They got 3 of the guys and took them in for questioning. It was amazing all of the people going outside to tell their side of the story.

We, at this point, have police going through our yard, checking under our porches and in the truck. My nosy sister wants to go outside and I told her I live here! Your not going out there! I did not see anything therefore we are not getting involved!

I began thinking. Mimi (my grandma) is gonna FREAK out when she finds out the shooting was pretty much in my backyard. She has been begging us to move. She has been saying, "Wait til summer! All the shootings happen then!" One warm day and we already have a shooting.

Kane was scared. He was shaking. He was afraid a bullet would come in here.

After a lot of distraction (Allie not doing so good on some of the games) Kane was ok to go to bed...at TEN O'CLOCK! Oh my gosh kid!

We wake up this morning only to discover that the 3 kids who were taken in for questioning were released and the kid shot was shot in his back.

So we have someone out there who is shooting others behind their back.

I am not a little freaked out. :(

If I only had a .....

I am 9 weeks pregnant. At max, I have 31 more weeks. There was no exclamation mark after that. Why? Because I HATE being pregnant. HATE HATE HATE. I LOVE having a baby. I LOVE being a Mama. But I cannot stand the pregnancy. It drags on forever, I am depressed and exhausted the whole time and I am usually in some form of pain or discomfort throughout the majority of it.

Right now, I feel down. I am so tired. I could seriously sleep all day. I was advised not to get on anti-depressants until at least 12 weeks. So I only have 3 more weeks?!?! Oh my. Plus the time it takes to kick in.

I need help!

So I am watching The Dr's right now and a guy just ate his wife's placenta.

EWWWWWWWW

I am hoping to get out of this "funk" soon. I don't feel like such a good person right now. :(

STUPID SCHOOL!!!!!!

So I got kicked out of school.

Do you have ANY idea how FREAKING mad I am?????

I contacted my Academic Advisor and told him I needed to take a F for my classes and retake them. I had to do that before and my advisor was so sweet. Then she got promoted and I got this joke of an advisor. I call him and email him and he NEVER calls back.

So I let him know I am gonna take an F since I can't get back online in enough time to finish classes. My pc broke down and the Internet was turned off for awhile.

Anyways. I call someone on Friday to re-register for those classes. I got registered and on Wednesday I logged in to go to school. THEY DIS-ENROLLED ME!

I called them back and they said they would look into it and call me back. I would get back into school in no time.

I call today and talk to someone who is completely incompetent. She said that my advisor has been calling me every other day and has been emailing me and since i haven't logged in for 21 days the school boots me out!!!!!

WHAT THE HECK!

I have not gotten ONE phone call OR email from that baboon. But I have officially been kicked out of Kaplan. Now I get to talk to people at Returning Students. She informs me that all of my financial aid that was not used will be returned to the government. That's cool with me. But it will take 51 DAYS! So, I cannot start school until the earliest March 25. But here is the kicker...

I might have to pay for my last set of classes BEFORE I am re-enrolled.

Yeah. I can't afford that right now.

Great.

I will find out by March 15 if I have to pay for it before I can go back. If I don't, I just have to do all of that school enrolling alllllll over again.

I am getting over the flu, I am cranky, my house is a mess, I have a horrible aversion to smells and I can't get into school yet?!?!?!?!

I need a boxing bag. I will feel much better after beating something to pieces.

I feel a little bit better now.

But now I have to go and get ready to go have lunch with CC and Wyatt. Am I hungry for Tortas or Zio's?
