corn maze

We had so much fun at the corn maze down here. Well the corn maze part wasn't that fun, but everything else they had for the kids was great! Reed loved the animals the most!

He is so funny. He makes the funniest faces.

5 jobs later..

Jake has switched jobs for the the 5th time this year.. Yeah 5 times. It is stressing me out. He was doing fine at his other job, he didn't love it it, but it was a job. I think he mostly just didn't like getting up at 3:30am. I don't blame him.
He is now working here.

He is a delivery boy. He loves delivering and has been looking for a job like this. He worked Friday and Saturday last week and really enjoyed it. I am hoping for the best. They really like him and really wanted him to work for them. They did a couple extra things to get him to go there. So I hope it works out. I am done stressing over jobs already.

In other news. I am feeling better. I am going on my 3rd day of not wanting to die. So I hope it stays this way and its not just a trick. I need to schedule a doctors appt. I am being bad. But I don't want to pay for it. It is expensive, even with insurance. We almost qualify for medicade, but not quite so we are just trying to decide what to do. Any suggestions??
I am starting to show already. much faster with the second one. My pants won't button anymore but I can zip them still, but maternity pants fall off still. I am just in that weird middle ground.

Pumpkin, Corn, and Lemongrass Soup

This is what I made for dinner last night. I know you are jealous. It was fabulous. Its not pumpkin, it was squash. It was great. To bad Jake doesn't like squash, but me at Reed just ate it up. You can get the recipe here! 

I love fall. I am so excited for all the holidays. I already have a pumpkin spice candle burning in my kitchen. It is still 95-100 degrees here in the south, but the leaves are starting to change so that;'s good enough for me!


I have lots of pictures to post, but I just haven't felt up to it lately. I will get some up soon. Reed is getting so stinking cute I can't believe it. It is more and more fun with him everyday!

dinonsaur baby

Everytime I open my blog and I look at the baby ticker. I just can't help but think that is a really ugly baby dinosaur. It really does look like a dinosaur though. I know it will get cuter eventually.
So here's to deal. I am sick. I am not throwing up yet, but I am a fighter and I won't throw up till I absolutely can't physically keep it in anymore. I have found if I keep myself busy then it helps, it makes it so I don't have as much time to think about my food coming out of my mouth. So I am blogging.
I am scared about this baby. I am scared about the birth and the heartburn. That is the worst parts. I am excited for the sickness to end and for the 5th month. That is my favorite month. I feel great I am not to big, but big enough that I look pregnant, and I know what I am having so it is so much fun to look at all of the baby stuff. That I love..

This baby did come as some what of a surprise. We had talked about having another one, but we weren't "trying". It took me a year to get pregnant with Reed so I just figured it would take a little while for our next one too. Well I had decided that I wanted to wait a few more months to try so that it would be born in the summer time. It would make it a lot easier on family and anyone that wanted to visit, and on Jake since he is in school now. So I wanted to hold off. Apparently that is all I ever had to was try to avoid getting pregnant and I will. So April 7th is the due date. Just in line with the rest of the family's birthdays. we have 2 on the 2nd, 1 on the third, 2 on the 5th, and 1 on the sixth of April. We are really excited, nervous and scared on what is to come, but can't wait. Everything will work out and I am sure that having another child will be so amazing. We love Reed so much and he has changed our lives more than we could have ever imagined. I can't wait to see what this one has in store for us!

I just can't keep it a secret anymore. Lets face it I can't keep secrets very long. AND I am so sick already and I need to talk about it!

missing..

I am missing my baby right now. I need a big slobbery kiss..

Grandma has had you long enough. Time for you to come home, even if you like it better there.
Love, Mom
