Happy Sunny Friday Everyone!

Well.....

Its a Boy! Luca will be here sometime at the end of Aug.

I am not sure what Xander is going to do when he has to share his toys, clothes, and his room eventually but we will manage.

I am very blessed I have my princess and 2 mama's boys life is good.

Its Friday

I am to sad for my friend today to do Friday Night Left Overs.....

I am so sick of hearing about death and Sorrow. There has been so many the last few months. My neighbor, my other neighbor, 2 girls my brother went to high school with.... and now my friends dad.


I can't even imagine what she is feeling she is young and dating a guy but she has not gotten married or had kids yet. To think that her dad will miss that makes me so very sad!

Why do bad things happen to good people? She is so sweet and always has a smile. If you are down and out she is right there to pick you just her presence alone!


Its not fair to her I feel so terrible for her.. and I just hope that one day she gets her smile back. I can say that I have only seen her sad one time. I almost don't want to go to the wake because just seeing her like is enough!


My heart goes out to her and her brother who lost a dad, her mom who lost her love and her grandparents who lost their son..... I can only imagine.


I am looking forward to the weekend with my family I am going to say I love you more than once and hug them a little tighter. What I have learned from all this death I am surrounded with is that tomorrow is never promised so live for today and be thankful for tomorrow.


Happy Easter!

Momma Said there would be days like this!

It had been a good day for you that day, your 2 great aunts came to visit from a far.

You had your eyes opened and I remember thinking you looked a lot like your uncle (my brother) I hated not seeing your face with all the wires and tubes. But it was okay cause one day they would be gone.


We headed over to the cafe for lunch and I actually laughed for the first time in a month. We were gone a mere hour and you had taken a turn. We came back and you were pale and sleeping. The nurse came and told us your blood level was low... basically that you need a transfusion and I needed to sign for it. They also said that something else was wrong you had an infection.

They did not know whether it was meningitis or just a UTI. If it was meningitis they would give you the same antibiotic for 14 days instead of ten. They said we needed to make the decision if we were to give you a spinal tab. I remember saying " you want to stick my 2 pound baby with a needle in his spine"


My husband and I did not need to discuss anything the answer was NO that 4 more days of the meds would not hurt and you had been through enough. I was so irritated when 30 minutes later the doctor who does spinal taps came down to talk to us. I told him that he must have missed the memo because I already said NO!


He went on and on about how his daughter was preemie and he did it on her. Well you are not his parent this time. He got mad and said that if there were lasting effects from the meningitis the insurance company would not cover and he could not be treated. I knew in my heart he would be okay but I refused to do this! It was bad enough, breathing tube, feeding tube, IV sometimes in his head! He did not need this.


He got the blood he needed and the meds and he is fine today I do not see any lasting effects from what happened and me not giving in to the pressure. I wish I could have strangled that doctor that day.


I read a story of a baby that was born at 27 weeks the same gestation that I had Xander. She is 7 months old and still in the NICU. I thank GOD every single day for my Christmas Miracle! And all the other blessings he has thrown my way. Sometimes I think I don't Thank Him enough!

And in the words of Tigger TTFN....

Names

So I have a few bones to pick with family members... I named my son Alexander on 12-25-2008. We call him Xander<- Spelled this way He is almost 2 and a half and you still want to spell his name Zander. I am tired of correcting everyone when even his grandparents do it. It annoys the heck out of me. For his Birithday his Aunt wrote him a check and used my Maiden NAME! I have been Mrs. V for almost 7 years. Needless to say I can't cash the check because I am no longer Jillian S**** so I just ripped it up. My finally bone I have to pick is with the pimple that decided to make its way above my lip and it looks like a WART Thanks Baby Bean for stealing what beauty I had left But mommy still loves u

Vent.... and a Rewind

1. 
   
   So I need to vent... here it the rewind... 2 years ago my husbands extended family Aunts, Cousins, and Sisters made dinner plans for a girls night out. Things with my in laws have been rocky from the start... it was only 10 minutes from where I worked at the time and I figured why not. So I go to this dinner. Ben had just gotten out of the Army at the time. We were making plans for our church wedding. So his aunt asked me how things were going I said fine.

Ben was having problems with his family since he had gotten back from over seas a lot had happened. His mom went crazy was talking about never speaking to him again and how I ruined his life because I got pregnant before we were married and now he would never be coming home. All because of me. So when his aunt asked about I told the truth in a nice way I said that Ben was hurt by the way he was being treated and felt abandoned by his family when it should be such a happy time. I am sure you know what happens next....

They went back and told his mom and caused a over a year long fight. She did not come to my home or call my house she did not see my daughter...

2. His family for the last 6-7 years have had a cookie exchange during Christmas for just the ladies in the family. I have been with Ben for almost eleven years and I have been invited maybe the last 3 years. I have not gone once.... and I wont.... Why am I all of a sudden good enough? And I am so scared that I will say the wrong thing and it will get back to someone.

Current: So here it is they sent an email out a month ago for a Girls Day out Ben begged me to try and go because it is shopping I could drive myself and if I needed to walk away from them I can it would be at an outdoor outlet mall... I agreed..... I told them to count me in and I would meet them out there. The hubby has a big test on Monday and really needs to study I think that is more important than me shopping I told them I did not have a sitter and was unable to go. (no kids allowed) His sister emailed me this morning and said to ask his dad to watch the kids since he is coming into town.

Ben talked to his Parents Sunday advised we did not have a sitter and that I couldn't go. They never offered, which is what I responded to his sister and I told her I was not asking. She keeps begging me to go and at this point I have made other plans... She said to bring the kids and that they would all help. YEAH RIGHT I have been there done that and they don't help not one BIT. I just want her to stop begging me I am scared if she does not stop emailing me soon I might blow up and tell her how I really feel which would not be good. We have not talked to his oldest sister since Oct... because she decided to bash us on Face book.. I think the best bet is to just ignore it I called him and told him to deal with it if they contacted him I don't have the energy today....

I have so much more to vent about my friends kid being at my house and then 3 days later she found head lice! I have never had it and I freaked out spent the evening cleaning everything.... Woke up at midnight and saw everything I had ate yesterday again for an hour I felt like the exorcist... I woke up late and did my hair in 3 minutes from Wet to Done I think that is a new record... I need a nap

Cheese for Ice-cream

So this weekend was wonderful to say the least! I spent every minute making memories with the kids and hubby. I can't wait for our new addition. I keep telling X-man that I have a baby in my belly and now points and says Mommy's baby but I don't think that he really understands that his life is about to change :)

We took our first trip to the ice-cream place the outside one it opened last week and this was Xanders first official kiddie cone he got to have all by himself and he he was covered it in. I tried to take it to lick the drippings and he screamed at the top of his lungs " NO MOMMY MINE CONE" I think God and the angels even heard him.

The above pic is his official ice-cream face!

Happy Almost Hump-Day!

Friday Night Left Overs... What I want Addition

• I want one of the new Coach Poppy Bags Happy Easter to Me? Do you think bunny will bring one?

Lost...

So my dad lost yesterday SIGH I just hope he does not give up..

I am thinking that he needs to move on to something else in politics and leave the town to the 800 people out of 6000 registered voters... it seems no one cares.

On to better things.

I found this picture of my sons hand when he was about 2 pounds so tiny.... and I think how far he has come since then.... THANK GOD for Miracles.

I'm a Poll Watcher...

Yes today is Election Day and my dad is running for a Village Board seat. I have to say I will be glad when this is all over.... So I will be poll watching tonight from 3-7pm and then taking the results of my "poll" back to the Rally I have seen so many people say such harsh things about him whether on a social networking site, in the newspaper, or on a message board and its sucks I don't like it one bit! He has done nothing but good for the community spent 10 years on the school board and built a new school worth over a million dollars for the kids in the community. They also named the park that was built behind the school after him. I mean he has to be doing something right. I hate when people bash. Especialy when it is about their personal life. That has nothing to do with what he does in the community. As far as his personal life he raised me and my brother and we turned out good, never got into any trouble or anything. Yeah so he and my mom got divorced so what. My mom even though she has moved on is still helping him with his campaign between money and time. Why don't they ever talk about that! Anyways I really hope that he wins today! He has ran so many times and 2 years ago he lost by only 22 votes. I wish he would have contested it but he said he lost and that was that. I wish him and his party the best of luck today! I hope I have good news to report tomorrow. Either way I am going to be happy when all the name calling and bashing is over.
