I've been neglecting you!

I have been neglecting this blog for the last month - so of course here are the updates! Dani turned THREE on Dec 31. Zach is turning TWO on Jan 27. I can't believe how fast they are growing up! Dani is definately her mothers daughter - she talks constantly! Christmas was awesome here. Friends of ours made the comment that it looked like we had robbed a Toys 'R' Us store. The kids were totally spoiled this year. It is nice to have some age appropriate toys for them. All the stuff we had before christmas was still pretty much baby stuff. Now Zach looks like he owns a used car, truck, quad, motorcycle, and airplane lot. Dani looks like she is ready to go into the restaurant business any day now! New years was great. Aside from a tasty chocolate b-day cake we had a big fondue party. We had about 12 people here for eats. On the pregnancy front... I have been doing much better since I got a pelvic belt. Since the 22 of December I haven't been able to walk all that great and by Dec 28 I wasn't moving hardly at all. So I went to the quack here and asked what could be wrong and if there was anything they could do to help with the pain. She didn't know what was wrong and in a readers digest version of our conversation she more or less told me to go relax and suck it up. HELLO!!!!! I have two toddlers to chase around all day I can't just go and park my ass on the couch and expect Dani to take care of the household! Chris had to work over christmas so things were left up to me to do. So the doctor phoned the next day and asked if I had put my feet up and if the pain was gone. I told her that I sat around as much as I could and that the pain was still there. So she again told me she didn't know what was wrong but if that it got any worse then they would medivac me. Meanwhile I'm thinking "like hell you are!" I'll have my hubbs drive my fat sorry ass to Whitehorse long before you medivac me! Anyway long story short - I had a doc appt on the 2 of January and within 5 minutes of talking to me (not my regular doc) she told me that I needed a pelvic belt to pull my hips together because the relaxin hormone that my body is making is causing everything to go all out of whack! So why on earth did the idiot stick here not know what was going on - it seems like its a pretty common problem amongst us fatties! I had a preggo woman approach me in wal-mart (actually I was in the McDonalds there - stuffing my face) and we had finished eating and I was putting this belt back on when she came over and asked me what it was and what it was for and where she could get one. I am down to the once a week appointments now. I go to Teslin tomorrow to do a candle party and then the kids and I are going to go into Whitehorse for my appointment for Monday. Doc is doing an internal exam this week - YEEHAWWW!!!! So now I have to either find someone to watch the kiddies for me while I'm in with the doc or take the buggy and park them outside the door. I'll figure something out. Zach is sleeping in his big boy bed now - FINALLY!!!! We have been trying to get him to make the switch since we moved here but he would have no part of it! Last night was the first night he spent the whole night in his bed. Good thing too cause this baby is coming sooner than later! I leave for Whitehorse on Feb 1 to wait out my last two weeks. I have been wracking my brain trying to think of what I will need to take with me to make it as comfy as possible. We aren't staying with friends this time but in a somewhat furnished but only with the bare neccessaties duplex that Chris's employer offers for people who are moving or in town for training or medical purposes. It will be nice to have the kitchen facilities - no matter how limited the supplies are - cause then we aren't eating out every single day. Imagine me being two weeks late - I would be the main star in that show supersize me!!! So now I am off to make supper - I can neglect this blog without hearing about it but as soon as those kiddos of mine are hungry...... I will be back with an update of some sort maybe on Tuesday - if not then before I leave to go to the city. Oh ya.....pictures - there coming!
