3 feet of SNOW!!! and counting

Ok I HATED snow before we moved back to WA, but now with 3 feet of snow on the ground and still more to come I really HATE it. And part of the problem is that Spokane normally doesn't get this much snow so they are not prepared at all for this much snow. They have no plan to plow and the side streets have 2 feet of compact snow that has ice on it and everything else. Everyone is canceling everything, and no one is working. Turned out that Isaac actually does like the snow as long as he is all bundled up. Scrappy is funny in it, since the snow is so deep it just falls right through it. The bottom 2 feet of snow are frozen and only the top foot is where you could fall through so he gets covered.


This next picture is how thick the ice is on the driveway

This is Isaac at the park


This was before it snowed another foot. But he had a blast at the park

Where Have I been for 2 WHOLE Months...

I am been around, and become rounder and rounder. I have been sick for that long. I had been sick a few times befor thanksgiving. And alot after Thanksgiving. We found out that we were pregnant shortly after thanksgiving which is why I had been feeling so sick. Now I was sick 20+ times a days with Isaac by the time I was 6 weeks pregnant, so since I was feeling so sick by 3.5 weeks, I thought here we go again. We kinda got off to a rocking start though. At first my numbers were not high enough, and were not doubling every 48 hrs like they are suppose to. We were having weekly blood draws, and finally around six weeks they started to double. Yeah!!! I still feeling really sick, not getting sick as much as with Isaac, but I learned a lot of tricks being pregnant with him. So I thought maybe that I had just learned to control it. Plus it helped that John was home for 5 weeks to take complete care of me and Isaac. (Just so you know, I got the best husband in the whole world. If you were waiting for the MR BEST, sorry I took him, and if you THOUGHT you thought that you had him your were WRONG!!) But I learned an interesting thing after John left, it was my house. John left, and I was able to take care of Isaac, and myself no problem, feeling a little sick if I got too hungry. But not getting sick. But both times I went back to my house for cleaning and check out, the VERY first thing I did when I walked through the door was get sick. So with this pregnancy I think it was my house. Because now that I am on the Mainland living with my mom and dad. I am feeling good on most days. To day not such a great day, but first time really since John left for Africa. But I am on strict orders from my DR don't over do it. Try not to pick up Isaac, or anything else that is heavy. So the flight here was a interesting one. I requested a wheelchair transport so that I didn't have to worry about getting through the airport with luggage and a toddler. Well some lady in Honolulu, YELLED at me cause she didn't think I need all the stuff I had. She ended up checking one of my carry-ons, later need that carry-on, but what was I to do. Portland was find. Spokane though, my mom got permission to meet me at the gate with a wheelchair for her own (one from her work), but they would not let her take it out to the plane to meet me so one if their workers took it out there to meet me. I walk off the plane, outside onto the tarmac (just so you know it is like 21* and Isaac and I are both wearing sandals.) And they guy asks me if I got it from here. I have Isaac SCREAMING in one hand, and all my carry-ons in the other. I am thinking your an idiot. He pushes the wheelchair with all my stuff, and I walk with Isaac.

But other than that all is well I am here in Spokane, with LOTS of snow, and cold cold temperatures. Isaac HATES the snow so far. John is currently in SC getting some training. He will leave on FEB 8 for Africa.

Oh one cool thing that we did before we left Hawaii. Is we went swimming with the sharks. John's brother came in from NY and he took us swimming with the Sharks. I will post pics later. It is late here and Isaac has not been sleeping well, so I should get to bed. But I will try really hard to keep this updated. I will get the ultrasound pics up and keep you updated. OH!! I forgot to tell you that I am due Aug 13.
