Yesterday was the first day at home with both kids alone. Christian went back to work yesterday. He had been home for 2 weeks and was doing everything. Cleaning, cooking, laundry..you name it he was doing it for us. He took care of Ashlynn and helped with Colten. I mainly rested and pumped milk and fed Colten at night. I did some of the feedings during the day as well but Christian did a lot of those too. We made it through the day yesterday with only one fight between Ashlynn and I. Ashlynn is such a Daddy's girl so it was hard on her for him to return to work. We got out of bed around 8:30...came downstairs and I fed Colten a bottle and got Ashlynn a bowl of cereal. After Colten was fed and changed I layed him down in the pack n play while he slept. I got Ashlynn dressed and ready for school. Got her on the bus around 12 noon and then had to feed Colten again. Once Christian got home I was laying on couch watching tv with him and ended up falling asleep lol. I guess I was tired, I didn't mean to fall asleep. Christian got Ashlynn off the bus and then we made dinner together.
So all in all yesterday was a good day. Today has not started off as well but I will make it a good day lol. Ashlynn woke up around 6 or 6:30 this morning and hung on Christian all morning while he was trying to get ready for work. She was very upset he had to leave today. She has had an attitude all morning with me and has not listened to anything. She won't leave Colten alone while he is sleeping. I understand she wants to love on him but he is asleep and I would like for him to get his sleep. Plus she is still coughing so I don't want her to pass the germs on to him.
So this is the life of a Mom of 2 kids lol. I do love my family!!!

Sort of got off the blog
So I haven't been on to post in a week or so. I have been having a lot of pain and Colten is right in my ribs and chest. I have been back to Labor and Delivery because of some cramps and Colten not moving much one day. Everything is still good though. I start my Non stress tests tomorrow so that will keep track of all his movements. I went to see the Chiropractor a few days ago and he thinks with where I am carrying now and some other things that I will deliver in the next 2-3 weeks...I really hope to keep Colten in a bit longer but if he comes in that time I will be ready for him. I have pretty much everything done and just need to get a few things to be completely ready for him. I will try to get back on and update soon :)

Weekend
Well we had a great weekend for the most part. Christian and I got a lot cleaned on Saturday and then Sunday went to my Mom's for dinner. Well I have had 4-5 episodes where I had my panties wet and didn't think it was urine so My Mom insists I call my OB and see what they want me to do...I ended up in Labor and Delivery for a few hours. They checked the baby's heartbeat and checked to see if I was having contractions. I had 2 contractions the whole time we were there. Then the doctor did 3 tests to make sure it wasn't amniotic fluid...All tests came back negative...Thank goodness. Then he checked my cervix...it is still long and strong..another good thing. So I got sent home at that point. Well since I had a pelvic exam i had some spotting later that evening. I kept an eye on it and it happened a few times overnight but then stopped. So I am trying to take it easy a bit to make sure nothing happens...Yesterday I was so antsy for some reason..Got bored very quickly and wanted to be up doing something the whole day.
I'm glad Ashlynn goes back to school today. It will give me a chance for some Mommy time today :)

OB Appointment Today
This afternoon is going to be a bit busy. I go for my 31 wk check up with the OB. I am not anticipating any problems though. My blood sugar is looking good and other than a few pains I am going to talk to him about everything else is good.
After my doctor's appointment we will get to come home for a little bit but then we have to be at Gymnastics at 5pm today. Gymnastics isn't over till about 5:45 or so and we are suppose to be at Soccer practice at 6. We are going to be late. Christian took the soccer balls so that way he won't be late for practice. He's the coach so he needs to be there on time lol...With the way Ashlynn practices it might be better if we are a little late...She seems to be interested for only about 30-40 minutes then she is done. Hopefully Christian will play the games she doesn't like before we get there.
I am glad it is a long weekend. We are going to be cleaning pretty much all weekend though. Tomorrow Ashlynn and I are baking a cake for my Mom's birthday and taking it over to her tomorrow night. Ashlynn is so excited to be helping.
Enjoy the Long Weekend :)

Insurance People
So we heard back from the insurance people this morning. Because the body shop we go to "chooses" not to use salvage/recycled parts they will not give us the extra $600 we need to get a new part for the van. I have told Christian it is time to just go to the person who hit us and ask them to come up with the extra money. I just want my van fixed now and I don't think it is right the insurance company won't comply with our wishes not to use salvaged parts. But according to the Ohio Insurance Commissioner they are in their right to only pay for those parts. I guess there isn't anything else left to do but figure out some way to get the extra money to get it fixed. Hopefully Christian can talk his friend into paying for it. Well that basically ruined my mood for the day.
