IT'S SATURDAY!!

    Hi fellow humans on this sphere with grass and water we call earth. Guess what today is..... it's SATURDAY!! Okay so maybe not so exciting well maybe it is( or is it). Well for me its exciting I have always loved Saturdays and the Friday nights that lead into them, sleeping in, cleaning up the house, spending time with my family at once, hanging out with the kids, fixing a huge dinner, staying up late and eating homemade yellow cake with chocolate icing, and eventually cornrowing my hair for tomorrow's installment of crotchet braids since I ran out of hair for Senegalese twists. Its a long story I have more than one type of weave in my house, see I big chopped in November of 2013 and my hair is just now long enough to attempt to do some of these protective styles so I can let my hair rest and grown. I'm just nervous about my crotchet braids. I have two full packs of free tress water wave hair that should be enough right? if not I have a pack of Brazilian wave hair lol. LAWD!! Save me!!!

Every Minute Counts!!

                                                               Hey guys and gals!!


       So I'm writing this at almost Midnight but hey! who cares? I often wonder if there are any other parents out there like me, one day a week I stay up late to get the quiet time watch my shows play on the computer or whatever else I feel like and then most the other nights I'm in bed by 10 and wake up around 5:30-6:00 am and drink coffee check fb and whatever else I might feel like until my gremlins wake up.


   So tell me do others do this as well? Do my fellow humans without children realize that this is therapeutic? its like just hitting the reset button and allowing my frazzled brain to fix its self for tomorrow's craziness.

SCH! or SubChorionic Hemorrhage!! WARNING TMI!!!

 So I want to share my story with my experience with the SCH. It all started Tuesday April 8th after my nap, I woke up with cramps like strong cramps that felt like they were in the middle of my uterus they weren't painful just noticeable. Then I went to the restroom and that's when I noticed I was spotting little streaks of pink blood. I called my friend and explained the situation as I knew this wasn't normal in my two previous pregnancies I've never experienced anything like this.
 So the decision was made after my oldest son got off the bus we drove to my mothers house to drop the kids off with her and then we went to the ER.

   Once in the ER after blood work, pelvic exam and sonogram it detected that I was 6 wks 1 day and had a small subchorionic hemorrhage. I had no idea what that was I mean the baby had a heart beat and everything. The doctor mentioned that if I were to miscarry there was nothing he can do which was hard to hear. My instructions were to take it easy and pelvic rest. Once home from the ER I thought everything would be okay, but I was wrong the next morning I woke up with my undies soaked in blood it was horrible and the cramping reminded more of contractions but less intense. I phoned my OB office and her nurse insisited I didn't need to be seen any earlier than what I was already scheduled for even after I explained the passing of clots it was horrible I was so mad!! It was later on the next day that I had a urge to poo really bad. I went to the bathroom and poo I did not a little sack fell out in the toilet! now I've never suffered a miscarriage so I had NO idea what to expect.
 
 
    Something about drew my attention to the sack I held it in my hand and I thought I was seeing what would have been a place for eyes. I immediately showed my hubby who was as clueless as I was so I held onto it for a few hours in a zip lock baggie, remembering what the doc said that chances are I will carry to term I flushed the blob down the toilet which I now know was the baby :(
 So finally I had my first prenatal visit and asked the doc for a ultrasound and had one set up later that afternoon. Which is when we discovered I had a complete natural miscarriage.

  The ride home sucked I was in shock and numb all at the same time, we had lunch went home and I had turned in early that night from emotional fatigue and I had a morning follow up appointment with my OB. The next day was like walking through mud I felt so sad I flushed the baby down the toilet I was so mad at myself!! The OB basically said that sometimes these things happen and its nothing anyone did or didn't do to cause what happened. Also I told her about her nurse she was truly upset about the nurse. We went about our day and later that night after our older kids were sleeping I had a massive emotional break down I never thought something so tiny would effect me so much!! I was sad a sad sad person I bought a pack of smokes the day I found out we lost the baby and went outside and had a couple of smokes( yes I smoke occasionally) and went to bed.

   To this day I constantly wonder how our lives would've been changed had our baby not left this world so soon.....

5 Months into 2014 and....

   So 5 months into 2014 and I have all but remembered my goals sigh :/   I'm so disappointed with myself but to cut myself some slack I've had a very busy start to the year 2014.



  So the first thing that happened was we moved into a beautiful 3 bedroom house omg its gorgeous !
  I quit my fast food job. ( Don't worry I hated working there and the pay wasn't even that great!)

   Now you would think that with full time employment out of the way that would give me time to focus on my goals I set for myself for 2014 well I was WRONG!!


    I found out I was pregnant and initially was very shocked and excited at the same time this would mean that both of my kids were equally spaced by about 3 years, but I'd be damned that didn't even work out that great :(  I'll speak more on that in another blog post.


   So in other words 2014 got off to a rocky start but its not over yet and I'm determined to at least meet one of my goals.

  How are y'all doing with your goals now that we are almost half way through 2014?
