Randomness

So Michael is now working nights full time. He works 7 days on and 7 days off. Everyone has been asking how it's going. I won't lie, the weeks he works can be rough. He goes in between 7 and 8 and gets home around 8 am. Then he goes upstairs and sleeps. Depending on the day he gets woke up anywhere from 230-4. Then he gets up and spends some time with us, we eat and it starts all over. He works Wed to Wed. By the time he gets off, I'm running on fumes. I'm sure it's just because I have a little bug sucking some of the life out of me as it grows! Overall, it's really nice. The extra $ on the paycheck, the week off. It also gives him the opportunity, like today, to pick up an extra shift here and there for some OT.

We have really fallen off the FPU road so that will help us get back on track. Something about us adding another member to our family puts in place to get back on track!

Yesterday I had to go in and get my OB blodwork and UA done. I was suppose to sit through the new orientation class again, but my OB nurse totally rocks and got me out of it. They wouldn't have told me anything I didn't already know. So they gave the paperwork to have my bloodwork done I got to go. The bloodwork sucked.

I HATE needles. That is a big reason I don't get epidurals. That and the minority horror stories and the research about how babies and moms do better with out them. (NOT judging anyone who gets them, I feel like I'm the chicken!) Anyway, so she first stuck me and it went well, she got 4 vials and took the tourniquet off and the flow stopped. Nothing. She fished, nothing. Tried the other arm, nothing. I get really hot and have to take a break and drink some water. Enter new guy. Sticks first arm again, nothing. Fishes, nothing. Takes
It out and sticks again. Finally! They take the last 4 vials of blood and I get to go home. Surprisingly enough, my arm is not bruised. So hopefully everything is all ready for my first appointment next
Friday.

Tomorrow I get a girls day with my sister and SIL! I'm super excited! The three of us have been plannig on going to the Melting Pot together for awhile, tomorrow is the day, along with pedicures and a movie!! Good times will be had!

Finally!

Piper is getting some more teeth! The one thing that kept her looking like a baby is coming to a close! My sweet girl is growing up! Teeth 5 and 6 on top are through and teeth 7 and 8 on bottom will be within a day or so! Thankfully they haven't bothered her too much.

I just want to sleep

Seriously, that's all I seem to want to do. The weeks Michael works nights (like this week) I am in a constant state of worn out. It seems like the girls need more from when he's not here. I also sleep lighter. I feel bad for the girls because somedays, I have no energy to do anything "extra." I'm praying it's just a first trimester thing, because it could get ugly if it lasts the whole pregnancy.

In other news, my brother left today for the first part of his Chaplain training for the Army Guard. He will be gone for 3 months this time. He left this morning for the 2-day-drive to SC. Please pray that he stays safe and that the time goes by quickly for him and my wonderful SIL, Rachel.

Well Miss Piper is trying to tell me it's time to snuggle, so I'm wrapping it up! Night!
