Jayme's First Soccer Game

So I was a slacker mom/coach's wife and only got one picture of the game but his team did great!! They stole the ball and scored tons of goals. The other team only scored one goal and they looked so tiny compared to our team. Jayme scored 3 goals and was so proud of himself he threw his hands up in the air and made sure that I was looking to have seen him make the goals. So Cute!! It was a VERY hot day so all the kids took LOTS of water breaks but overall it was a GREAT start to soccer!! I will take more pictures at his next game and post them.

We are the Green Team and this picture was just before Jayme scored his first goal he is right in front of the kid in black in the middle i think it's number 6 Jayme is number 4.

The Dimes

So I have a big question for all of you out there.... Do you believe in Ghosts?!?

So let's start this interesting story and you will see what I believe. On Sunday Mike and I did some heavy duty cleaning of our house but mainly focused on our room getting all of the laundry washed, dried, folded put away and our room picked up. Mike even went to the extent of Vaccuuming our bedroom that's how clean it is okay you with me? So later that night Mike and I were getting ready for bed when he found a dime under his pillow on the floor. We didn't think much of it because Mike usually has change that he puts on his night stand and we assumed it just fell down. The next morning (Monday) another dime on the floor next to the bed. I thought I swear he picked that up but just left it there so he picked it up and thought the same thing I swear I picked this dime up! He asked if I put it there. I told him no, i saw it but didn't know if he hadn't picked up the one from the previous night. So he put it on the night stand. Later that night after we got home from work I sat down in the chair in our front room to take off my shoes and found a dime right next to the chair I was sitting on. I picked it up and showed Mike, he of course is like what the hell is going on with these dimes. I shrugged my shoulders and gave the dime to Jayme to put in his piggy bank. Tuesday morning I'm in the bathroom getting ready and Jayme was in the hallway getting dressed when he comes in the bathroom saying "Mom, look what I found" I asked him where he found it, he said on the top stair. I told him to go show his daddy and tell him where he found it. So he does, Mike then asks me if Jayme had told me that he found it I said yes, then he was again like what the hell! I said I didn't know but it was weird I didn't get why we kept finding the dimes. He asked if it was me doing it I said No, then he said it was Jayme I said it wasn't because all of the dimes we gave to Jayme he had put in his piggy bank. We get home from work that day and I walked in first to find Hookah sitting on the stairs looking upstairs, she didn't even notice that I had walked in for a good minute. So I then leaned in and looked upstairs I didn't see or hear anything and then she noticed I was there so she came downstairs to go outside. I told Mike Hookah was acting weird and told him what I saw. He just said "Hmm that's weird" I'm freaking out still thinking that there is ghosts in our house and getting more and more to believe that there is and Mike just says he doesn't belive in that stuff I thinking differently counted the dimes on his nightstand to kind of get a good idea if it was the same dimes or new ones. So we get to Last night Mike was folding some laundry and I walked in our bedroom walked down by the foot of the bed over to my side and sat down on the bed. He was folding his laundry then put it away in his closet and dresser that is at the foot of the bed. He then finished and went downstairs, I rolled over to his side of the bed picked up the white basket that he left in front of my closet and put it in front of his dresser where on the floor at the foot of the bed in front of his dresser I find a dime! He was just there he didn't see it, I didn't put it there, I was the only one in the room. So now i'm freaking out. I walk downstairs to where Mike was again and showed him and told him exactly where I found it. He was like what is going on so he googled "What do dimes mean" and popped up a lot of similar stories and the first article said "Why do I keep finding dimes everywhere" so we read it. Basically it said that finding dimes is a sign from someone on the other side to tell you that they are there to help you get through a hard time in your life. I told Mike that the dimes are usually on his side of the bed in front of his dresser I think the sign is meant for him. He again said he doesn't believe in that stuff. I again gave the dime to Jayme to put in his piggy bank. Then told Mike to go count the dimes on his nightstand there should be 3 if there is less than it's the same dime. I then hear him moving around a lot then he came back downstairs. There was still 3 dimes on the nightstand so he hid all of his change. LOL So this morning I was in the shower than came into the bedroom where Mike was getting ready he is standing in front of his closet and moved his hamper out of his way what does he find underneath it?!? Of course another Dime. He picked it up and showed it to me, again I said I think it's a sign for you. He handed the dime to Jayme and Jayme put it in his piggy bank. I can't help but think that the sign is for Mike and I believe that it's his dad. I'm not sure what the hard time is that he is trying to help Mike through but I hope that somehow we get the idea and it's a good omen for our family. I told everyone at work today of this crazy week of Dimes and everyone was really inclined and made them wonder. So we will see how the rest of this week goes and how many more dimes we find in our house.

So my answer to the question i previously asked if you don't already know, I do belive in Ghosts. I only hope for good spirits to be around our family. What's your answer?!?

Family Fishing Trip

So on the 23rd of July when we had a three day weekend we were wondering what we should do other than the same normal things we do so I came up with the Idea to go fishing, it had been forever since i had been and we hadn't even gone together (Mike and I) he took a couple of pictures of Jayme and I while we were there. And no we didn't have any luck we didn't even get any bites but Mike read that it is very common because the water levels are so high still. Maybe we will try again in a few weeks.

Life Changes

Is there anyone out there who feels like I do when you have big life changes happening you seem to lose friends/people you care about?!? I know and completely understand that everyone has things going on in their lives that people get busy and just simply don't put in the effort to keep some friendships alive but I have only felt so alone when I need people/friendship the most when i'm going through life changing events. The first one which is so common in a lot of people lives is High School Graduation, there are so many people that I honestly think that was the last time I saw them/spoke to them. Even if I try to plan events with friends who can bring kids and spouses I get no effort. I did have a huge turn out of friends for my baby shower for Jayme and I was thrilled to see and hangout with some old friends but since then it seems as though I never cross their minds. When I got divorced I felt like I had two friends who stood by my side. They would come to game nights and my birthday party and Jayme's birthday and even stuck around to meet a few guys I dated along the way. Then a few have come around here and there when I married Mike and have gone to/had a couple of events but now that i'm pregnant again and having a little girl I feel as though I don't fit in anywhere. Either people aren't having babies, aren't even interested in knowing what's going on in my life or are just busy within their lives/schedules. I sit and think about what I've done to said people to make them not want friendship with me and although it may sound stupid I beat myself up about it. I have felt that within weeks i have simply vanished from peoples mindset/thoughts and when I am around unless they talk to me about baby stuff i'm unimportant. I am a person. I have feelings. I have thoughts other than my unborn child. I can relate to relationship issues, I can relate to happy times and going out and simple things as being there. Why do I have to be invisible? Why do I have to be made to feel like i'm not as important as others? Why do I have to feel as if I have lost all my friends? Even more Did I ever truly have friends? If anyone can make me understand the simple concept of Friendship and why it seems as though I lack the ability to have it with others please feel free to help me understand.

21 Weeeks

Okay followers i'm finally getting some more belly pics posted, I haven't been as good at posting them as I wanted to be this pregnancy but i know you all understand life happens :)
Here is all angles of my tiny looking belly (everyone says i'm so small still) from Today exactly 21 Weeks.

So Exciting....

So we found out last Tuesday July 26th that we will be having a little girl!!! We are beyond excited!! We both really wanted a girl as we are not planning on having anymore kids after this one and wanted one of each. And she was very cooperative and revealed to us that she was a girl within the first ten seconds of the Ultrasound. Seriously brought tears to both of our eyes but we didn't cry! Okay so let's move on to what we did find out. She is healthy, she is actually measuring 4/5 days ahead of my due date but because it's so close they kept my due date the same. She has 10 fingers and 10 toes, no physical abnormalities that we could see and believe me they looked. However she did concentrate a lot on the babies head, I didn't think there was anything to that until she said that she was going to have the doctor come in. Then I started thinking "what's going on?", "there has to be something wrong!" So the Doctor comes in and immediately goes to the babies head and explains to us that there are two cysts in the brain that could just be blocked fluid and it will just go away on it's own or there could be a less than 1% chance that the baby could have a Genetic Disease called Trisomy 19 and the end result of that genetic disease is Death!! I wanted to lose it right then and there on the table. I couldn't believe what I was being told, I couldn't even really understand everything that she was telling me about the disease and of course I sort of tuned her out trying to wrap my head around her telling me that although very very low percent chance that it could be this there is still a chance I could lose my little girl!!!  She told us that we can take precautionary measures and do the quad blood test to check for genetic diseases which would give us an 85% accuracy on if she had this disease or not and/or we could do another ultrasound in 6 weeks. I told her I wanted to do both. I didn't care at that moment what anyone else thought just I want to find out for sure that I will not lose my daughter!!! I did the blood test and in the mean time Mike was trying to tell me that he doesn't think we need to do the other Ultrasound in six weeks that the blood test would be enough to tell us what will happen. I still trying to figure things out went with his advice for now and didn't make the appointment for the Ultrasound I will wait until I get the blood results to figure out if we will need it or not and what the next step is. So here we are to today and I just tried calling the Dr's office for the results and of course they were at lunch when I called so I had to leave a message. Just waiting for them to call me back is killing me I am trying to occupy my mind with other things but seeings as how I'm posting this long blog post about it do you think it's working?!? Not a chance. The health and well being of my little girl is all I can think about and care about until I know that I don't have to worry anymore. So I will update you all with the results of the blood test as soon as I hear back and in the mean time I will TRY to focus my attention to work. Wish me and little Aria Jean luck and hope that everything will be okay.


Update:
I finally got someone to answer the phone at the Doctor's office, they said that the results of the Blood Test came back normal!!! I'm hoping and praying the cysts do just go away on there own as the Dr said they should and no other complications or worries come about for the rest of this pregnancy. Thank you for all of your well wishes, thoughts and prayers.
XOXO
