I'm Still a Crab

I've been on a mini blogging break to spare the crabbiness.

I had a terribly long, hard weekend at work. Two 9 hour nights on my feet the entire time and didn't make much at all. Boo! It was the busiest weekend we've ever had. Saturday night between the restaurant and bar we sold about 15,000$. That's unheard of in that small family business. I'm still sore from standing for so long. My big 'ol belly is putting a ton of pressure on my who ha and legs! I dropped CDC off at school this morning, came home and CRC  and I went back to sleep around 9 and slept til 11! I couldn't hold my eyes open, for some reason. I will be done working weekends in two weeks though. So yay for that! I personally hired a new girl to fill my spot until I go back in July.

On another bad note, I owe about 3K in Dr. bills from this pregnancy. Ouch!!! Medicaid is still being a PITA to deal with! They've denied me 3 times. I just went today to reapply. I never thought i'd be in this situation. I always had great insurance and never thought twice about Medicaid. It's been very humbling to say the least.

CDC is still coughing her poor little head off. The antibiotics haven't kicked in just yet. I think CRC may have a slight ear infection as well. She's been a crab right along with her momma. She hasn't complained at all, but neither did CDC, so i'm just going to have to watch her.

I am though trying to be more comfortable with my burgeoning belly. I compared pictures to me pregnant with CRC and although my belly is almost 2x the size, my bum, arms , and face aren't quite as large. So that's a positive for me!!

I've also been trying my best to eat healthier. It's been going well too! But my tummy seems to act up more when I eat healthy..lol! Strange.. Everything makes me gag with this pregnancy. Especially water! Makes difficult for eating healthy. Tonight we're having Sauteed Pork Chops with Mushrooms, Onions, and Bell Peppers, Sweet Potatoes, Pinto Beans, and Steamed Veggies. Yum! And for dessert, i'm having a fresh fruit smoothie. Baby girl is kicking away as I cook/type. Ha! Yes i'm a multi tasker.

Girls just ran downstairs hollering "HUNGRY!!!" So I better get back to the food. =)

Sicky Vicky and Other Random Gripes

My big girl has been coughing for a few weeks now. I thought it was just the weather and would stop soon enough, but it never did, just kept getting worse. She was hacking like a lung was going to be coughed up.. very gross! I finally decided to keep her out of school and take her to the doctor. She has an ear infection in her right ear and a sinus infection. Blah! I feel so bad that I didn't take her in sooner, but honestly she hasn't complained at all and has been super energetic and happy. {Take a look at the picture above. That was this morning!} Her doctor put her on the antibiotic, Omnicef(sp?) and I think she's taking to it well.

In other news, i'm TIRED!! All.the.time!! I have no clue why i'm so tired. I know you're supposed to have MORE energy in the 2nd trimester, but I do not. I'm lazy lately, which I think makes me even more tired. Our house is a disaster at all times. Seriously, i'm soo over cleaning!! These girls have entirely too many toys! I'm about to bag up a bunch of them and take them to the grandparents house. I've already donated 3 garbage sacks and 3 boxes to Goodwill and there is still too much. AHH! It's like a Toy Store right under our nose.

The weather is yucky! I think I have the winter blahs. I've got the big belly plus all the layers of clothes I have to wear to keep warm. I just feel like the Abominable Snowman! I'm ready for spring and summer. I'm such a happy person in the warm weather. I can't imagine living up North. I think i'd go crazy..

Sorry to be a crab. I know a few of you have said to stop feeling sorry for myself, but I really don't. lol! I'm just grumpy! I don't like being pregnant. It's such a blessing and I can't wait to hold my sweet baby, but I hate hate the pregnancy part. It never agrees with me.

For now, i'm going to bag up toys and perhaps start painting the Nursery to change my mood..
