Catch Up!

Wow - lots to catch up on - and sorry no pics - I am still trying to get a new camera. I have the money and found the one I want - I think - but hubby wants to see if we have a warantee on the old Sony - I don't want the old Sony - it does not ZOOM!!!!! Anyways. We went up to see my sister in North Carolina last week for a few days and also looked at some more houses and some land too. jsutin had an interview and was offered a job - but we have to stay here until "el bebe" comes on 11/2 - or sooner! We may just need to name her "el bebe" because on the ride up -which took us 10 1/2 hours due to traffic - we agreed about 95% that we would name her Alexa Nicole. Well since we have been hoem he decided that Alexa sounds like a stripper - no offense to any professional dancers out there - we all gotta make a living - so we are back to a no named child once again. He says he likes Alexis better - but I don't - reminds me of the car - a lexus. So back to the drawing board!
We are also up in the air about what to do for our move from Florida to North Carolina. We are so ready to go. But the market SUCKS here and we do not know if we shoudl try to sell our house for like nothing or rent it until the market picks back up. We have put a lot of work and sweat and money into this house we built to get it nice and homey - well I dind't sweat too much! BUt it is too small for us now and we want to move out of state. So there is that whole dilema. Plus I am not looking forward to packing and moving with a toddler and a newbirn come the end of the year! But I will gladly get it done! And I can;t wait for that time to come - I am so over being pregnant this time. I have been getting so many charley horses lately - my legs are constantly sore for days afterwards. I actually woke up yelling in pain the other night and poor hubby thought I was doing a practive drill for labor. At least he is on the ball at 3am!!! I also hurt just to walk - thanks to Miss Bella being so big and me not having her all that long ago - I have pubic symphesis seperation - basically my pelvis bones are splititng apart. They will go back together after I have her but good ole doc says it wil just get worse as she gets heavier and drops down. I can barely walk as is and Little Bit always wants me to bend down and pick her up whcih doesn't help - but how could I tell her no?!!? I would rather have my throid problem back like I had with her and deal with the constant nasuae - this pain is killing me - it is constant and feels like I have a bowling ball sitting on my pelvic bones - especially the left side. They should make a splint for it!!! HAHA.
On another emdical note - my dad is doing way better - he is actually talking now - they capped the trach off and while I was there today he was waiting for physical therapy come to get him up and moving. They had him standing up this morning! Hopefully he will be moved out of ICU since he has been there since August 4th when this all happened.
Well that's all for now - hopefully I will get my camera tomorrow if there is no warranty on the one we have now that is a load of crapola! Then I can post more pics of my darling peanut girl.

My Little Golf Pro

I got these plastic clubs for Bella when she was a newborn in honor of hubby's favorite past time and his plan for us to retire - for Bella to become a professional golfer! I finally busted them out the other day and she loved them - she would not put them down for days! Of course they have all since broken since they were only like $4 for the set! Time to invest in some heavy duty ones!

Busy Weekend

Well today will be a busy day - we are going to the hospital to visit Grandpa Ron, then to JCPenney's to pick up our pics, and then to meet Lisa who is in town for the weekend. Her son is my future son-in-law. Heehee. We have it all planned out. Then it is hoem to pack because we are leaving in the middle of the night to drive to NC to see my sister and look at some homes and some land. That should be fun since there will be 3 of us in an altima - not too roomy - especially since last time Miss Bella decided to stay awake for most of the trip - both ways - even though it was night time and I had to sit in the back with her to keep her occupied and not whiney!! So we will see how she does. I think Jsutin is going to look at portable car dvd players today - may be we can occupy her with some Wiggles and Momsters Inc - she loves that movie! We should be back sometime Wednesday. I am just worried about leaving with dad still in critical care -but I will be with my sister so if anything happens - at least she will not be alone. Hopefully only changes for the better will occur though! Will keep you posted!

In need of a new camera

Well our Sony has pretty much bit the bucket on us. If you turn it on the screen comes on upside down or fuzzy like a broken tv. I had asked hubby for a new one for my birthday but was told we have another one - an old Kodak that is like ancient and dusty! I want a really nice one - one that the has an actual zoom lens instead of a zoom button that gets nowhere near zoom. Maybe for Christmas....we do have another munchkin coming and will need to get good pics to add the the thousands I have of Bella sitting and collecting dust in my closet since I have not time to do my scrap booking! Hopefully when we finally move I will get a room to set up all my stuff and actually get to use it - wouldn't that be nice?! So needless to say - no pics to post for now. My little peanut girl is getting quite the little attitude lately when things do not go her way - luckily that is not often and she is still pretty easily distracted - but I am getting a taste of the future for sure! She is learning some more animal sounds - my favorites are the cow cause she moos really loud and sticks out her neck and makes a face - and the lion cause she whispers her roars! So funny! Well hopefully, I will be able to get some pics up soon.

Grandpa Ron is in the hospital

Miss Bella and I have been spending most of our time in the hospital for the last week. She has been cheering everyone up in the waiting room. Her Grandpa Ron - my dad - has been in critical care since last Saturday. He lives by the water and they think he was trying to shoot a water moccasin but the gun jammed and he must have accidentally shot himself in the chest and out the shoulder. He just missed his heart but did hit his lung. He was also on a blood thinner for medical reasons and they think he was alone at least 45 minutes before his girlfriend found him. So needless to say he had lost a lot of blood. He was responsive the first few days even though they have him sedated and on a breathing machine but over the last few days they have not been able to get him to respond even when they turn the sedation off. We are still at a "wait and see" standstill. They are now thinking there is something neurological going on. My sister had come down from NC but had to leave today. I am hoping and praying that we get our Grandpa Ron back.
On a lighter note, my little wee one is getting to be such a big girl! I look at her and can't believe how much she seems to have grown and changed from that cute baby stage lately - not that she is not still cute but she looks more like a toddler now. She is learning and saying more as each day goes by and amazes me all the time! I just love her to pieces.
