I found out on Wednesday that I am having a baby boy! I didn't know how to explain to my son that our baby was going to be a girl, if it was. He threatened to run away and move in with his neighbor buddy. Wouldn't you feel the same, already having THREE sisters? I honestly didn't care but I didn't want to have my son's heart broken. He was so happy when I told him. He has asked,"But what if it comes out a girl?" I felt so good being able to PROMISE it would be a boy. It was way too obvious that it was a boy. As soon as the tech got on there, he showed himself.
We are set with the name William Robert. That way we can call him Billy Bob. LOL I am totally just kidding. I went through all my baby clothes and receiving blankets last night. I didn't find many boy clothes, no surprise, but I found a lot of blankets for my little man. Once we get our taxes in, we are having a hay day! All I really need is a bedding set, mattress, stoller/car seat combo, swing, and a rocking chair. I plan on getting the real chair style so that I can use it after baby gets older.
Off to do some more laundry. I need to finish washing the baby clothes and putting them in his dresser. I am getting excited!!

Too many kids!
Emily had her birthday party/sleep over this weekend. Wow.....We had them all over, four to sleep over, and then we had the neighbor kids over: Emily and Michael's best friends and their adopted brother and sister from Africa. They had pizza and then cake. After they left, it was a girl fest. We all ended up staying up until 2:30 am. They did their thing and we watched Talladega Nights. HA! Too funny. I had to get up and get one girl off to church at 10 am and the rest were gone around 1 or 2. I ended up taking a nap, that is after scrubbing a few walls (they were already dirty) mopping, dishes and vaccuuming out the fireplace. OH, I forgot. We made s'mores with the fireplace that night. MMMM! I could only do one.........too sweet. All and all, it was great fun!
I am all better if you couldn't tell. I didn't get anything done until Thursday, I think. Most of this week is a blur. I was so doped up with pain meds that days drooled into the other. I did get the rest of the kids' presents except for a book Lizzie wants. I could NOT find it. I told her I would find it, even if it took me all year to! I even squeezed in Emily's birhtday presents on Friday. I got her a complete bedding set at Target (Full size comforter, two pillow cases, two shams, and sheets), a butterfly rubbermaid bin I filled with nail polish and make up, a shirt and a large hard copy of Charlotte's Web. That was her favorite.
Back to my health...I am feeling so much better. I also lost some weight so I am three pounds under my start weight for this pregnancy. I have been feeling my little guy moving and bumping me. It has become more regular and consistant. I get to find out what s/he is on Wednesday. I am 75% sure it is a boy. We will see. I just want this pregnancy to go smoothly the rest of my time in it! LOL I will be half way done as of Wednesday too!! 20 weeks and 20 to go!!!!!

Ode to my kidney stones
Yes, I have been battling kidney stones since THURSDAY. It started around noon. I took some Tylenol with Codeine and slept. They hit later that night again. Of course, dh had duty. Isn't that how it always happens? I was in total, utter pain. I was throwing up so I didn't take more meds. Once off if work, we went in to the ER. I was given something I am too doped up to remember what it was with some no puke medicine. Morphine, my bad. I am on Lor-tab right now. Last night, we went to the neighbors and played Texas hold em. They got a big kick out of my giggle fits and total lack of expression or comprehension of anything. I did win a lot at least! Well, I am hoping this passes soon. I have to be off of it to drive and do my everyday stuff. I hurt too much to do anything around here. WATER~WATER~WATER~WATER~WATER~WATER~

We're Back!! Fun in Myrtle Beach.....
Yup, it was awesome fun in Myrtle! First off, the reason we went up was for a baseball tournament. My dh is the assistant coach and my son in the bat boy for an AAU 12 and under team. We headed up Friday, even took the kids out early so we could shoot up there. We dropped off our stuff at the hotel and then went out to eat. Our hotel was awesome by the way. It had two queens in the first room, full kitchen in the middle with brand new stainless steel appliances, and then the living room with a murphy bed and pull out couch. We had a plasma with built in DVD player in our room and the kids had a huge TV with a DVD player in theres. Our balcony faced the ocean which was wonderful to wake up to.
Anyway, we went right out to eat after that. We made reservations for all of us, including all the boys from the team at Margaritaville. That was pretty awesome! Right before our meal, a 'hurricane' hit with the ceiling breaking out in thunder and lightning. There is a spinning hurricane in the middle that had a bottle of margarita mix (tequila? I don't drink so I don't know what goes in it)Anywho, it came down and started pouring into a huge blender. The kids thought it was neat. There was also a woman on stilts that went around making balloon animals, hats and swords for the kids.
After dinner, we all headed down to the pool. They have a huge indoor pool, hot tub and lazy river. Emma and I had great fun floating around the river! We went swimming in the pool. I even got in some laps while Lizzie sat with her on the steps. The hot tub felt good on my legs and feet, seeing as that was as far in as I could go. Last year, it was like a big bathtub, just warm not hot. It was HOT this year.
The first place we hit on Saturday was the NASCAR race track. Michael baby was in HEAVEN! They had simulators that he dug. Emily and he drove these smaller gocarts. They both did awesome. Michael did a lot better than his older sister. It has to be all the driving he does in his GraveDigger powerwheels.
After skee ball and Michael coming away with some cars, we ate at the NASCAR cafe. I thought it would be expensive, crappy food. WRONG! It was $50 for all of us and it was GOOD FOOD. I can just imagine what he is telling his teacher and classmates right now!
After lunch, we headed over to the field. After a LONG warm up because of an hour game delay and a two hour game that ended in a loss, I brought the kids back to the hotel. It was cold and Emma needed a nap. She slept in the car and I took a nap while they watched Monster House. (I guess it does pay to have a 6 disc DVD player in the car. YOu always have movies with you!)
There second game that night they won! We all met over at CiCi's pizza. I LOVE CiCi's! We had them in VA. We have two in our area but one is on the ghetto side and the other is kinda far for cheap pizza. It is good and feeds us all for around $30 AND it is all you can eat! We went swimming some more with the boys afterwards.
It was COLD AND RAINY the next day. We sat in the car for the game. The boys lost bad but can you blame them? It was 53 and rained the entire two hours. They called the second set of games. Fourth place is what they ended up in with their points. We shot over to Fuddruckers for our final meal. MMMMMMMMM!
Though all of this, Emma did not have any accidents. We had a pull up on her on the way there, a diaper the first night and a diaper on the way home. She never used any of them. I am going to ask my sil if she wants the diapers we have left. I have too many to toss and too big for the next baby. I know I will find a home for them. I am just so tickled I am done with diapers.............for like five more months! Then back to the drawing board!
