updates...

first of all just wanted to upload some of my newest pics. i love to take pictures so i hope you enjoy them because i love them.
anyways...i had my 17 week check up today. blood pressure was up just alittle but i explained to him that i get "sick" the minute i pull into the parking lot. i am always afraid of bad news. then they weighed me and said i had gained 20 pounds. it was kinda hard for me to believe but the scales dont lie..i guess. so i went for blood work and when i got out they wanted to weigh me again b/c it didnt look right. so anyways..i had only gained a half of a pound in 4 weeks. so that was a much lighter note. :) the babies heart beat was good. and he checked my stomach where i had burned it. he said it is looking better and should not bother the baby. i didnt think so but i am so paranoid that i wanted to make sure. so i go back in 4 weeks on august 26th the day after my 29th bday and hopefully find out what i am having.
and then...i was at home laying in my chair resting. when eric and garrett brought home a surprise. a new puppy. it is a black lab mix. i think. anyways not something i am happy about. but gonna live with it ... right. i think they said her name is thumper. i will post pics of her soon.

i got up early this morning hoping to get somethings done before picking the kids up from camp. nope. my plans always seem to get interrupted..but that is part of the joy of motherhood. noah called home from camp around 8 this morning asking me to hurry up. his poison (oak or ivy) had spread, the heat hurt it and he was miserable. so, i wake up garrett and head to camp. as soon as i see noah i knew we would be heading to the doctor. he is so swollen all over his face. one good thing about it is his lips are amazing swollen. he looks like a "girl" supermodel with big full lips. :) so after a shot and some medicine he is now sleeping well. now we are home washing clothes in very hot water, getting clothes ironed for the wedding tonight and a 9 to 5 vbs tomorrow. so much for getting the things i wanted to get done..done.
oh a much lighter note..me and my mother went to see mamma mia last night. if you like musicals then you need to go watch it. i have to say it is one of my favorites. i am such a sucker for any movies that have singing and dancing in them.
also, i got both baby bedding in. one for a boy and girl. no, we are not having twins but i found the bedding that i liked and i will take one back as soon as we know the sex. can't wait to get one of the put all together. here is the bedding....

so it is late

I really need to be in bed. Work comes early in the morning. I started this blog after my sister in law sent me an invite to her blog. I thought this would be a good way for me to express how I feel. Even if no one reads..I think it will help me through this pregnancy.
I wish someone knew just a little bit of what I am going through. I have heard of postpartum depression but I believe I am having it all now. Every nerve is on end. While pregnant with the two boys the pregnancy was great. No morning sickness, nothing. I mean perfect up until labor. The labor was just intense but that is all. When I found out I was pregnant in August 2007, I immediately knew something was wrong. I miscarried two days after that. Then we found out very early in this pregnancy too. I mean from day one everything has been "different". I try to explain how I feel but no one understands. I have researched a couple of things online and some say once you have had a miscarriage you go through depression with your next pregnancy. That is kinda how I feel. It is hard...I mean everynight I dream very depressing dreams and every minute of the day I wonder if everything is going to be ok. With the boys I prayed that they would be healthy but with this one I am always wondering if they are still alive in there or not. It is really hard to explain and I am not sure if anyone will understand.
Well the little one is ready for bed .. I will finish up later.

A little about me.....

First of all my name is Casey and I am 28 years old. I am married to Eric now for 6 years. We have three boys...16, 11, and 3. We also have another one on the way but we do not know the sex of this one yet. Anyways I work at home for my father who is an attorney. I also homeschool the two oldest. Never a dull moment around here. So as you can already see I am busy. I would not have it any other way. My husband is in the "food industry" and is now employed by a local fast food resturant as a manager trainee. When we have free time we enjoy usually just hanging around the house. Doing nothing. From homeschool meetings, to soccer practice, to church and the grocery store...we do not mind staying at home and doing nothing.
