Long Time No Blog

I know I have been terrible at blogging!!! My computer at work had a virus for about 3 weeks that would not go away...Eventually the IT team had to rebuild my computer totally...So my blogging ability was out of commission for a while there. But I am back! :D

The latest update is that Ellie is POTTY TRAINED!!! It literally happened overnight!! One morning she woke up and decided that she wanted to both pee and poop on the potty, no questions asked. She has gone full speed ahead and not looked back at all!! :D woohoo!!!! I can't even express my happiness in this whole thing. Now I can finally look into preschools, dance classes, etc. It always amazes me how stubborn little kids can be. They do what they want to do when they want to do it, no questions asked...Ok, so maybe I'm still that way...but regardless I am so happy for my little girl.

Other than that not much has been going on. The pregnancy is fine as far as I know. I have another Dr apt next week. Kevin has decided that we are going to grow all of our food ourselves this year and has taken to making a huge garden in the back yard...Of course, this resulted in him getting poison oak all over his body, but what can I say? His eye swelled shut...Totally looked like he got sucker punched (and no I didn't do that! LOL!) Poor guy! I think it's finally starting to clear up though, so that's good. Leprosy is not a sexy thing.

Hope everyone else is well and I will try to keep more up to date now that I have my computer back!

Odd Symptom

Lord knows I have always had a slew of pregnancy symptoms...heartburn with the first two, morning sickness now, and fatigue for all three. However, there is another strange symptom I get each and every time I am pregnant. In fact, it begins even before I have taken a + test. I am talking about strange and somewhat scary dreams. That's right, my dreams go way out of whack when I am pregnant...

Now, I am not talking about just a little strange. I am talking way out there strange. For example, the other night I dreamt that zombie's were attaching and I was trying to hide and kill them. I burnt one with a blowtorch, but he still came at me...So I yelled, "You want more?" and stabbed him in the heart with a screwdriver!! The weird thing about the zombie's was that they were dressed in button up collared shirts and khakis!

Kevin and I really like to watch "Hells Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares" with Gordon Ramsey. Well, last night I had a dream that I was dating Gordon. No joke...I can't remember all of the dream, but I remember something about his having an older daughter who didn't like me and didn't want me dating her dad. So weird. I have never even thought of that man in that way....Bizarre.

These two dreams just touch the surface...I have dreamt that my dead grandfather came to me and told me that the baby was going to be fine but that I was going to die (that was w/ Ellie) I think I go a little crazy when I am pregnant, and my dreams are just proof of that. I don't know. Maybe I am just weird...lol
