back again

I have no clue how many people actually read this and I know i really didnt say I was leaving, but I did. i am back and a few things have happened. Yes I know I missed a belly pic i am sorry to say I just dont have one and will for sure post one for week 20. I was out of town and away from DH and it was harder then I thought. I was sleeping in a trailer with my sister and her baby. It was the worst sleep ever. Sister and baby were sick, snoring and conjested, the wind was swaying the trailer and if I was woken up I had to go inside the main house to go to the bathroom. The trip was fine really it was a great visit and normaly somethign goes bad while we are there. One year mom broke her foot, another I put my tooth through my lip etc. This year we were attacked by mosquitoes. I know you are laughing that isnt that bad in compairison to the above mentioned but let me tell you I would rather have my tooth through my lip again. We didnt realize stopping at a reststop to yes the bathroom would be such a big deal and we ended up locking ourselves in the car with 40-50 hungry blood suckers. They only went after my legs and feet (mom and sister are much worse baby is bite free). The problem is nothing in the store is working for the itch. I have even tried a few home remidies and they dont work so here it is 5 days after the bites and I still itch.

Now for the good news. The family was super excited to have all of us there and they doted on Chloe (my neice). There were 2 other babies in the family under one year old so we had a baby show one night. Another night I got a big shock. My aunts planned a shower for me. It was a complete surprise (I was almost an hour late to it). It was so much fun. We played games and had cake and visited with family I never get to see. There were so many gifts we didnt know how we were going to get them home but we did. My sister and I are master packers but let me tell you not one more thing could fit in my little car.

The drive home was the hardest on me I think. I was so excited to be coming home. This was the longest I had been away from DH in 3-4 years. We drove over night just like we did on the way there only this time EVERYONE but me in the car fell asleep. There are parts of the drive that the radio has no stations and it got difficult. By the end of the drive my hands were swollen and hurt. We made it and I am happy.

The twins are getting more and more active. I am still not feeling kicks but I am getting a lot of rolls. Everything )water included) was giving me heartburn while on the trip and nothing has today so maybe it was just stress and being uncomfortable. I have one week til my next appoitment. Dont worry my loyal readers I have no plans to leave again so weekly updates will be weekly again if not more often if something happens.

  1. I am glad you are going to continue blogging. I like the weekly and sometimes more updates.

    Sorry to hear about the bug bites but the shower sounds like it was really nice.

  2. I was wondering where you went, glad it was just a trip. How fun about the surprise baby shower, not so fun the mosquitos. I bet your DH is happy to have you home.

  3. Glad your home, safe and sound. Sorry about the bites: They always seem to find me. Have you tried putting vicks on the bug bite? The menthol sometimes helps.

  4. Have you tried Campophinique. I think thats how you spell it. Its in a green bottle. I'm alergic to mosquitos and thats the only thing that helps me.
