Ramblings of a Sorta Single Mom

What we woke up to this morning. 

Our version of a snow day causing 2 hour delays with the schools.  J certainly isn't complaininng and I'm sure Heidi is laughing like crazy. 

And here is my Valentine!  gotten so big hasn't she??   And don't mind the crazy hair....it rarely cooperates these days.

 

It's probably just the fact that I have a doctors appointment today but I had a couple of the wierdest derams last night.  First off I dreamed my OB was a man when in fact it's a woman.  Actually it's a practice of 4 women so if I ever end up with a man it really will be wierd!  Anyways, in the first dream I went to the appointment and I had Jayden with me.  The doc is asking his normal questions, how I feel, any problems etc.  Then he tells me they are going to do another ultrasound but this time it's one of those internal ones.  Yuck!  Anyways, it comes up and it looks like one of those 3d/4d things (which I was researching last night) but it looks like a full grown baby!  i could hear the heartbeat in my dream and everything.  I made the comment "wow, that looks like a boy" and he responds "well your right!!"  LOL  So I dreamed yet again it's a boy.  About that time I woke up having to turn over so when I fell back to sleep the dream started over.  Except this time during the ultrasound he couldn't find the heartbeat!!  He tells me that maybe it's just too early (at 10weeks) to hear it or the little monster is hiding.  So he wanted to see me in a week to check again.  I actually left the appointment in tears and then woke up.  Yikes!

I know there is no ultrasound today so I'm not even sure why I would dream that unless it's just a result of what I was reading before bed.  I'm sure she'll probably try the doppler again though which is probalby where the fear of not hearing a heart beat comes in.   Keep fingers crossed everything is ok!

It's a game so make your guess!  It really scores you so who ever comes out on top at the end, we'll have a little something for you!  Just click on the banner below!

The radio station I listen to is doing their annual Country Cares for Kids radiothon which is dedictated to St Judes hospital.   I'm brought to tears a lot of times listening to what these parents and kids have to go through and thankful as well that J is happy and healthy.   For one reason or another I've never called and actually done a donation though I'd always really consider it.  Either financially there just were not funds or before J I didn't have that really strong pull for it.  This year was different.  It could be serious preggo hormones at work on top of everything else but it really got me thinking this morning while listening.  What if one of my babies were to get sick?  I would want a program like that for them.  One that is known for really caring about the kids and doing everything in their power to make them well again.  I would want that for my own as well.  So I did it.  I called in and did a pledge.  The first time ever that I have done something like this.  Usually I'm kinda skeptical about these things b/c who knows where the money goes.  But I've been listening to this station for 8 years now.  Every year they do this radiothon.  Every year I listen to the stories of the kids who were helped and the parents to.  The things that this program does for them and allows them to have.   The donation wasn't huge on my part but I guess the best way to look at it is every little bit helps.  And besides, we can pass up going out to dinner once a month right?
