Lilypie Maternity tickers
Lilypie Third Birthday tickers
Lilypie Kids Birthday tickers
Follow me as I go through the up's and down's of being a stay at home mom and a Roughneck's wife. Being a Roughneck's wife while trying to raise two kids is sometimes difficult as I have to play both mom and dad half of the time, take care of the farm, and also run all the behind the scene stuff that goes into running a smooth running home, but one thing is for sure I wouldn't change anything !

We're expecting Pumpkin #3 !!!!!!!!

     So we finally got our good news on Friday May 20th !! We are expecting Little pumpkin #3 !!!! My due date as of right now is January 30th 2012 but most likely will be induced before that.

   It really is just starting to sink in that we have another little pumkin on the way. And the strange thing is, is things are happening so quickly this time !! I am exhausted, all my muscles are already stretching, all I want to eat is fajitas or jalapenos, and I am sore all over !! But the excitement of actually being pregnant again is overriding all of it. I really thought that after my daughter Autumn, that she would be my last. Joel is of course thrilled to be a daddy again. He is such a good daddy !! He already is planning the nursery, which since all of our 3 bedrooms are in use and I would prefer the baby to have his or her own room till he or she is old enough to move in with either big brother or sister, We have decided to convert 1 of our 2 huge master bedroom walk in closets into a nursery. I am Looking forward to just being able to sit back and enjoy this pregnancy. And since it will be my last I plan on going all out LOL :) 

     I am really watching my diet with this pregnancy and plan keeping up my gym schedule and maybe adding a pregnancy pilates class, so that I can continue to keep myself healthy and help aid in a easy delivery again !! I am keeping to a diet of tons of fresh fruits and veggies and lean meats. With my last 2 pregnancys I craved junk foods, like pickles and sour cream and onion chips, or burger king whoppers. This time its all been healthy foods THANK GOD !!!!

  I am looking forward to this pregnancy and am praying that it all goes smoothly and at the end have a beautiful healthy baby !!!

Changes.....

     Lately our family has been going through a lot of changes some bigger then others. And some more life changing then others. I have to say I have always loved change ( I rearrange my furniture at least every 2 months) And as summer comes upon us I know that there is gonna be even more changes for our family.

    In Late March Joel changed companies, which was a change that was quite large for our family. Since Wyatt was little Joel has always worked at least 200 miles away and was gone for a week at a time. But now he is home every night and works only about 50 miles away from home. It was a change I am glad happened. But within a month or two, he plans on going to work about 800 miles away and will be gone for 2 weeks at a time..... That I am not to sure about !!
    We have also been doing a lot to the house which I love !!! We have fenced in a back yard, brought in a sheep barn, planted a huge garden around the bunk house ( which soon will be a guest house) and are planning on putting in new flooring soon as well as sod in the back yard !! I gotta say I love my house !!!!!!
     And now we are waiting to find out if we are expecting our third little kiddo !! I have been on edge a lot since I started to wonder if I was expecting. After 2 miscarriages last year, I had decided that I felt complete and that my family was complete, and was even considering having my tubes tied. But then out of no where I started to feel those little twinges that I have had with all my pregnancys early on, I have been exhausted, and then today walked into a home depot smelt the Hot dogs and ended up throwing up !! I try not to worry that this might end like my last 2 and try to look towards the positive side and today while out shopping couldn't help but look at the baby clothes. I was even tempted to buy a cute outfit that was  for either a boy or girl, but knew that if something did happen it just might make it that more hard to handle.  So in the mean time I just have to wait, keep my feet up and pray that if I am preggo God protects this little one and will let me meet him or her soon............
