So Much Going On!

I have a LOT to talk about as I've had a whole very lot going on. Yes, this is stress induced as well.. GRRR!!!

My dad had a heart attack 2 weeks ago, althoug he is doing well now, it still concerns me, just because he is my Daddy!

My sister went to rehab, and decided she would try to beat the ssytem, and failed, so she got kicked out. (Not going into detail to much). She will be going to court tomorrow to try to do something else, and I really hope this one works for her!

Hope all ya'll have been doing well!
We are doing fantastic, "lil valentine" is moving all the time, and it feels great! I am starting to eat more, but i truly think it's all going to the baby, as I've not gained but 4 pounds total, no, I am NOT complaining!!!

I am looking forward to attending some breastfeeding classes soon, to make sure that i have learned all that I can to ensure my baby stays healthy after I have him/her.

On a different note, I am hoping the rain holds off today, so we can take the kids to the pumkpin patch that is up the road, as today is the ONLY day I am able to take them and I have been SOOO looking forward to it!
