Day 212

Well I did my normal Monday night stuff but we mixed it up a little. Kim did not have class today because of another bomb threat to the school so we went shopping in Canton. We went to Target, Babies-R-Us, Bed Bath and Beyond, Davids Bridal and the mall. I wanted new bed sheets and needed a new vaccume. Well I ended up getting both and a rack for my coffee pot that the pot sits on top of it like a self and then it has a drawer that you put the coffee in. We got back to Phila and then we went to Wal-Mart where I got some new pillows and a few other things. Then wecame back to my house I got ready washed my new sheets and then Kim and I started dinner. We made potato soup, while it cooked she put together my vaccume while I got Ethan ready for bed he ate subway so he was ready for bed. Our soup was very good we ate a lot of it, I also had to try out the vaccume it works SO much better then my old one that spits the dirt right back out at me. My pictures for today are my new vaccume, the new bed sheets and the coffee rack. I bought today.

I honesly was out of my bed for the total of 3 hours today, The 3 hours I was not in my bed I was laying on the couch and I took a QUICK shower. Kim stopped over to drop off dinner for Monday I am going to make potato soup for us and had no potatoes so she picked some up. I did not even get out of bed when she stopped Keith talked to her and then she went home. After Ethan went to bed I made my way back out to the couch and watched a movie with Keith. then went back to bed. Around 1 a.m I started to feel better but I still laid around so I did not get to dizzy. I am SO glad I was not at work. Thursday was not a fun day at all and I am going to spare you the details lol.

She comes over every Monday but because Keith was home and Ethan is sick she stayed home so Keith Ethan and I could be together. She was going to come over tomorrow but changed her mind. We are going to watch the bachelor and some other shows I DVR'd for us to watch that we watch every week.

Day 205

Today Ethan slept in until noon then he went back in for a nap at 3 and slept until 6. I went to the store to get him his meds so he could start taking them right away and after he took them he started to have a looser cough. I went back out to the store and got a new coffee pot. I have wanted one for several years and never knew if I would use it enough to spend 299.99 on it but my dad got one a few weeks ago and I use it a lot so I got myself one on sale for 114.00. I came home set it up made myself some coffee and Keith some coffee. It was good. My picture for today is going to be of my new coffee pot!

Day 204

Well today started out as a normal Sunday Ethan stayed with my dad so I did not have to get him ready for church. After church I went to Canton AGAIN to look for a broom for Ethan. I left my dads house around 8:30 so Keith could spend time with Ethan before he went to bed. Around 12:30 Ethan woke up he sounded awful he had a deep barking like cough so we ran him to the ER and were there for several hours. I took sme pictures of Ethan while we waited and that is going to be my photo for today. He has bronchitis. We got home at 3 am and he ate a taco then we all went to bed.

Well Kim came to work and picked me up and we went to Canton. She wanted to look for flowers for her wedding and a few other things then we went and got lunch and hung out some more. I ended up going to Old Navy and got some large mens sweatpants and a cute tank top to wear around the house. Well I did not get home until one then I got ready and went to bed right away and slept for an hour then got up and went to my dads house, I ended up going back up to Canton with him to look at phones for my Aunt. I love my new pants they are so comfortable and I never want to take them off. I am going to take a picture of me in my new pjs and then one of my new flip flops. Well I did not get a good picture of me so I am just using my flip flops!
2 weeks 4 days (18 days) until the ultrasound.

Day 202

Well I got up saw it was another beautiful day so I got Ethan and I dressed and we sat out on the deck for a few hours. He loved being outside in the fresh air and I did too. It felt nice going outside and not needing a winter coat. I only had on a light sweater and I was warm enough. Then after several hours of sitting outside we came in and I helpped Keith make some lunch. Then got a shower and sat outside some more then got ready to go to work. I needed to stop by wal-mart on the way to get something to eat and ended up leaving way to early. By time I was done in Wal-Mart I still had 45 minutes until I had to be at work so I went to another store and walked around for a little while and left there when I had 4 minutes left until I had to be here only because I was like a minute away if that. I got to work on time thats all I care about. I hate how slow today is going and wish it would start to go faster, I am ready to be home from work in my pj's relaxing. I think I might talk to my boss about working 7-3 then going home and coming back from 11-7 or even working a double where I get off at 11 and get to go home. I am not sure what I will take my picture of I am sure I will find something while sitting here at work. My dinner for today is also going to be my picture!
I am going to start a new countdown this time it is counting down the days until my gender ultrasound
2 weeks 5 Days (19 Days)Until The Ultrasound!

Day 201

Well today Keith Ethan and I went up to Canton. We stopped at Best Buy then went to Ihop. The food was awesome! Then on the way home I talked Keith into going through the car wash. I had no idea that Ethan was going to be as scared as he was. I had to take a picture of him while in the car wash so I am going to post the two I took of him then the one I took out the front window.

Day 200

Well I slept in today and it felt great. I got up and watched a few movies I had on DVR and then got ready and went to my dads house. I then ran to Verizon and got myself a new phone. It is my first smart phone and I love it. It is the Samsung Galaxy. It took me some time but I have it figured out. Other than that I did not do much of anything so my picture is going to be of my new phone.

Day 199

Well I stayed up way to late last night so I could see Keith when he got home. Then we sat and talked and I gave him the card Ethan made for him then he got a bath and then we went to bed. I really enjoyed being able to cuddle with him,I did not get to sleep until after four, and even though we were not together this years valentines day was great.
I got up at seven with Ethan and did not get to take a nap while he did. I was going to make Keith lunch but forgot to put out the chicken.
Ethan thought it would be fun to try to do a standing back flip off the rocking chair, it did not work out to well and he landed on his head. He was fine but only if I was holding him so we sat and watched Dora and snuggled and then after Dora was over we watched The Goofy Movie. After that was over I got him ready and gave him a bath. While in the tub I went to wash his hair and he stood up and tried to get away from me and fell and hit his head off the side of the tub he grabbed his head and said Ouch then cried a few seconds then got his bath toy and started to play. Then I look at him and he had a HUGE knot on the side of his head it was not even two minutes later. I gave him some pain meds because it looked very painful. After his bath h got ready and went to bed. I watched Teen Mom. I love having more channels again.
Now I am going to get ready for bed because I am fighting my eyes to stay open. I will post two pictures tomorrow of Ethan one is of him laying in the rocking chair watching The Goofy Movie and the other is of him laying on the floor with my pillow watching the movie.

Day 198

Happy Valentine's Day!
So today I got up started lunch then ran to my dads to get my purse that I left there last night stopped and got gas in the car for Keith and then came home finished lunch.
I made Keith's favorite meal because I wanted to do something nice for him since it is Valentines day and I was not going to be with him all day. So I made Swiss Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy (because the gravy on the steaks was not enough thas the problem when you do homemade.) and Corn, Then Chocolate Mousse that I made last night.
As I was cooking Keith told me that he LOVES my cooking and that he might not tell me often but he does and he gets so excited when I do cook. That made me feel really good. He loved his meal and said that it was the best Valentines Day Meal he has ever had. After we ate he started the dishes while I gave Ethan a bath. Then Ethan wanted to play with his dad so he did not get to get all the dishes done but he did most of them so I finished them when he left. He did take out all the trash and help me clean out the closet where we keep our food while lunch was cooking. 
Shortly after Keith left the door bell rang and I went to answer it and it was a guy droping off flowers. They are so beautiful, I love them!
Now I am working on laundry and relaxing while Ethan naps. When he wakes up we are going to make Keith a card from him.
So my pictures for today is going to be of My Flowers, Keith and I then the card Ethan makes for Keith. I can add some but not the picture of the card yet.

Day 197

Well just like any Sunday I got up went to church and worked in the Three Year Old Room. After Church I ran to Wal-Mart to get a few things then went to my dads house. Keith was going to spend the day with his mom they went to lunch then just hung out for a little while. Then shortly after she left his dad came over and spent time with him. I was at my dads until about ten then came home got Ethan in bed and paid some bills. Then Keith said to cahnge the package on directv from the one we had to the next one up so now we get way more channels ones I like to watch.
He showed me a photo album that his dad dropped off with our wedding pictures in it. So that is going to be the picture for today.

Day 196

I got home laid down slept for a little bit then got up got ready and left. Today is Kims Birthday so I took her out to lunch at Olive Garden, Then we went to a pampering day had a great time there then we shopped for a new purse I did not find anything but she did.
Then I got home and we got ready and took Ethan to my dads house then went shopping. We had a lot of stuff to buy. We ran to the mall and got a few things then Wal-Mart. I finally found a purse I liked so I bought it so that is what my picture is going to be of.

Day 195

So today I got up and checked our bank account to see if our tax return was there yet and because it was we went shopping. We got Ethan a little portable dvd player so he can watch his Dora dvd's and I can use the t.v too.  We picked up a few other things we needed then went got some lunch and went home. I should of taken a picture of the dvd player but forgot to so I figure I will take one for tomorrow. When I got to work I saw someone made a snow man in the yard. It is not the best idea  but it will work for my picture today.
Well I did not take a picture of the Snowman like I said I was going to but when I got home I took a picture of a picture my oldest nephew drew for me and asked me to hang on my fridge.

Day 194

Kim asked me to watch the boys long enough to go to a parent teacher meeting then we were going to eat dinner and then she would bring Ethan and I home. So we ran to the mall to look around before she had to go get the boys from Day Care and then we got them and went to her house ate dinner and she got ready and left she was gone for 15 minutes then we washed her dishes talked then we headed home. My picture is going to be of a spider her oldest made from bendaroos. He wanted her to go see it and because we were busy doing dises I sent him with my phone to take a picture of so he could show her so even though I did not take the picture I am going to use it.

Day 193

Well I did not do much today I sat at home and relaxed played with Ethan then read some of my book. I love the book I am reading it is so good. That is what my photo is of for today. Not much more to say because it was an uneventful day,

Day 192

Well today I had a doctors appointment for the baby. I lost some more weight the doctor is not to happy about that but he said everything sounds good. We got to hear the heart beat for the first time Ethan liked that. When the doctor was done listening to the babys heart Ethan lifted his shirt and said Hey you didn't do me. Then got upset the doctor wouldn't do him. I thought it was so cute.
We set up our next appointment for March 8th and on March 9th we go for our Ultrasound she did not tell me what time but it will be before two.
I cannot wait to find out the sex of the baby!
I just made potato soup for dinner and now we are sitting here watching Dora. I took a picture this afternoon of Ethan watching Dora on my laptop that is going to be my photo for today.

Day 191

Today Ethan had his two year well child check up. He is 36 inches tall and 28 pounds. He is a little under weight and taller than most children his age. The doctor said he is doing great and that she will see him back as needed or when he turns three. After we got done at the doctor we ran to pay a bill then got some lunch. After that we came home Keith got ready for work and Ethan took his nap. Later in the night Kim Ethan and I went to Denny's to get some dinner. When we first got our food it was bad. We had to send it back to get more. I hate doing that but my eggs were way under cooked. I cannot eat slimy eggs that was all I wanted fixed but she brought out a whole new meal. As soon as we got home he ran ro bed and went right to sleep  he was a tired little boy. Then Kim and I watched The Bachelor. I cannot wait for him to send Michelle home but I have a feeling he is not going to. I need to figure out a picture for today I think it will be of a picture I made for Ethan while we colored.

Day 190

Well I got up today got Ethan his breakfast and then gave him a bath. Then we got ready and watched Dora for a while before we left for church. He had to take his Dora dvds with him so he could watch them at my dads house.
I slept so well last night I think it was because I only had an hour of sleep before the party and I was wore out Friday.
Now I am at my dads house and I have no idea what to take a picture of for today I will think of something later.
Ok so I am going to use a picture I took before church of Ethan in his new outfit from his Aunt Jackie.

Day 189

Today is the day of the party. I am expecting 25 people to be there Keith says it is not a small party his idea of small is only like 5 people. I hate to tell him but to keep it at only 5 people we would not be able to invite his family or all of mine that are close to Ethan. We only have close people there, The guest list is
My Dad
My Grandma (Dad's Mom)
Aunt (Dad's Sister)
Uncle (Dad's Brother)
Sister and her Husband and 3 boys
Brother and his 3 girls
My Mom
My Grandma (Mom's Mom)
Keith's Mom and Step Dad
His Sister and her Boyfriend
His Aunt
Then my Friend and her 2 boys 
So the total is 15 Adults and 8 kids Not counting Keith Ethan and I, I think that is good there are so many more people I was going to invite but held off due to space. Last year I invited over 100 people to his party and most of them said they were going to come then we had a huge snow storm and had to postpone the party and then not everyone was able to come. So 25 is a small group if you ask me, I come from a HUGE family, My mom has 11 Brothers and sisters. (One passed away at birth) and they all have kids who have kids. My grandma has over 70 grandchildren so I am used to BIG numbers for weddings and other types of Parties, Keith comes from a SMALL family his dad is an only child and his mom only has 3 brothers and sisters and they only have like 7 kids total and they do not invite each other to parties like my family does.
I think this will be the LAST year I have the party at our place though, I wanted it to be spotless and that meant I took several days to dust and wipe down everything. I think from now on we will just get a hall. I will post pictures later and add more to my already long blog I just wanted to get it started because I am not sure if I will be on later or not. I have a good bit to do before the party and then I will need to clean after everyone goes home and then I MIGHT nap depending on how well I sleep when I get home in an hour.
Now I have to go do my shift report and the Audits and everything before my shift is over and be ready to run out the door when the next girl gets here. I stand and talk MOST weekends but today I just cannot, I need some sleep and I have a lot of stuff to pick up before the party.
I went on a long hunt for canned chicken and could not find any so I had to change what I got and got stuff for sloppy joes. I picked up the cake and was NOT happy about it at all it is NOT what I wanted. Then I went home and get stuff ready for the party, It lasted longer than I thought it would be we had fun. Ethan thought it was funny that we sung to him. I am going to add a picture of his cake even though I hated it. And one of him laughing because we were singing and maybe one other.

Day 188

Well today is Ethan's birthday. He is getting his bath now then we are going to Chuck-E-Cheese then when we are done we are going to the toy store where he can pick ANY toy he wants. I am going to be posting a bunch of photos today but for now I will post one from the day he was born.

Well we got to go to Chuck-E-Cheese and Ethan had a great time. He was fussy before we left the house and on the way there but as soon as we got there he was fine had a great time. We also took him to Toys-R-Us and let him pick out ANY toy he wanted and he got a Iminex (I think that is what it is called lol) Toy Story 3 Toy. He would NOT let it go and wanted it opened right away. When we got home I finished the cleaning that needed done it only took liek 10 minutes we jsut had to sweep, Now tomorrow all I need to do it make my bed and cook food.

I am going to post a few more pictures one is of Ethan at Chuck-E-Cheese and the other is of him playing with his new toy.

Day 187

Well today I came to my dads house printed some coupons for chuck-e-cheese and now I am trying to think of what to get for dinner.
I left my camera at home but once I get home tonight I will take a picture and post it.
Well when I got home I cleaned the house a little to get ready for the party. I don't want to do a lot tomorrow because I want to spend time with Ethan having fun. Keith does NOT have to work so we are going to Chuck-E-Cheese. My picture is going to be of the new coat I got today but I am not going to post it tonight and I am not sure if I will tomorrow either. I might while Ethan takes his nap.
Birthday Countdown- 1 Day until Ethan turns TWO!

Day 186

Today is not as bad as last night was but our sidewalk is still a sheet of ice. Keith was unsure if he had to work or not, He was told everyone but 3 people called off but they all went into work. He said the roads were not bad on the way there and they said they will send them home if it starts to get bad.
I just went out and put some salt down on the side walks so when Ethan and I go shopping we don't fall on our butts. Kim is going to stop over to pick us up and we are going to go get what we need for his party. Then she is going to come here and we are going to eat some chili. I still have a little to do before the party but I do not want to do it until Friday night.
I will find something to take a picture of later.
Ok so I did not know what to take a picture of but once Kim came over we ate dinner we had Chili and Crackers, Goldfish, Beef Sticks, Popcorn, Pickles and Deep Fried Pickles. As we were making the fried pickels I took a picture then took one when they were done, I LOVE them and could not stop eating them even though my stomach felt sick. We skipped on the ice cream and hot fudge. I am gald we did too! We got everything we needed for the party I just need a few more decorations.
 Birthday Countdown- 2 days until Ethan turns TWO!

Day 185

So I get up today and look outside and there is ice every where. It looks so cool but I hate it. The thought of Keith driving an hour to work where it was worse worried me. I kept looking at the ice thinking how pretty it was and how cool it looked so I took a bunch of pictures of it. I am going to post a few different ones not sure how many just yet.
Keith got called off because it was so bad, that makes me happy. If he gets his last W2 today we are going to go get taxes done if we can get in. I hope we can get them done soon I hate waiting I wanted to get them done the day I got my W2 but we had to wait for Keith's to come.
Birthday countdown 3 days until Ethan turns 2!

The table with a sheet of ice on it!

Close up of my chair with Ice
