Yep that's me. Flakier than a buttermilk biscuit. Lately I have been invited to about 10 million different things and I'm like "yea, I'll go" but come the day i'm like..."Bleh, I don't want to get dressed, I don't want to drive, I don't want to fight my kid into putting clothes and shoes on, I don't want to spend money......I'm not going." LOL
I honestly don't mean to be this way, but lately I don't want to run around. Yes, I'm pulling the pregnant card....I'm friggin tired mayne. I'm at the "I can barely breathe" faze. I walk up the stairs or walk too swiftly, I'm gonna need a 15 minute break before I do anything else. Don't let the fact that "i'm little" fool you. This baby is now active as ever, so come night time when I would like to go to sleep there is literally a party in my tummy. (Yes I did just quote Yo-Gabba-Gabba) This kid spends all night breakdancing and then around 7 am he wakes me up again to feed him. His kicks are no longer subtle and cute. He's like, "Maybe if I stick my feet up in these ribs she'll get up...." So i'm up right now at 8 am. And if you know me, you know that I do not get up til noon. Hey, don't hate....that's a privilege of being a SAHM (stay at home mom) and having a growing toddler that likes to sleep in. I'm not one of those "He naps at noon, he eats at 3, he plays at 5" type moms. I'm like: when he's tired he'll sleep, when he's hungry he'll eat and he can run around in a diaper or butt naked all day if he wants. If he wants to dump the whole box of cereal on the floor and then pretend to swim in it, i'm ok with that. Let em live before they have to grow up and get on "The Man's" clock. He's only got a few years before he has to go to school and get into a routine. Why start him now when he's friggin not even 2? I sleep just fine (aside from the baby kicking me)
Anyway, as I ramble.....This type of schedule doesn't usually work with other mommy's schedules. Their kids are up at 6am and they are having play-dates at 10 am which means if we're gonna hang out, I gotta drag my ass outta bed. Also Coen's because he sleeps until about 10, 10:30. So instead, we end up hanging out together at home. Crafting, walking to the park, reading, teaching him new words etc...just simple stuff. I am not trying to isolate myself and i'm not mad at the mom's that are on a schedule. Lord knows it's not going to be easy getting Coen into the swing of things come school time, but right now....we're having a good time just doing our own thing. Girl's nights are all fine and dandy, but I need a lot of notice. I don't have a regular babysitter. Thus the reason I stay home...My parents work, my husband's parents work, We have no grandparents in the state.....Outside of work my mom has a crazy social life so I'm lucky if I get to see her, let alone my child. My husband is one of the busiest men in America. If I need him to watch Coen while I have "lady time" I need to check his crazy schedule first. I'm ok with it though. Most times, if my husband is home, I want to be home with him. The other issue is money. We have another baby coming and our insurance is pure comedy so we've gotta make sure we are prepared for the ginormous bill that is coming our way in 4 months. Now let's throw baby #2 into the equation and we'll see how much time I have on my hands.....
So I just want to apologize publicly if i've flaked on you. I know I said "Yes, I'll go" and then the next day I didn't call or texted some lame excuse or something actually did come up. I don't mean to be flakey, but sometimes I'd rather sleep or stay home. That's just where I am right now. If we are still cool in about....a year or two when I'm done with school and my kids are a little big bigger and I'm not pregnant and juggling a bunch of crap....than cool. If not...well....you're are just too cool for me :)

Pee Pees
Well while i'm avoiding my math homework (which is basically like trying to learn chinese) I will update.
Baby Dos is a BOY!
 |
| Check out that head! Poor kids inherit my big ol' noggin everytime! LOL |
Hooray for Pee Pees! Which I will be surrounded by for the rest of my life LOL. Mike thought I would be sad because this means we will never have a daughter, but I'm good. I've come to terms with it long ago. Especially coming into the Huerta clan. The chances were pretty slim anyway! This way Coen will have a buddy, I don't have to buy anything new or paint the room; I never have to really explain "menstrual cycles" or buy a Costco sized box of Pads/Tampons. I have 3 nieces (possibly 4...My sister is expecting her 4th which she desperately hopes is a boy) and my best friend had twin daughters. I will steal one of them if I'm really needing a break from Testosterone.
We haven't completely settled on names yet, but we're thinking Elijah Michael. "Eli" for short. We can't think of any other names we can agree on so, this will probably be it, but we still have 6 months to change our minds.
So cheers, to catching falling dare-devils and crying over broken bones, and kissing dirt covered faces!
Anyhoo, back to my tortuous Math!
UPDATE:
Most definitely a boy! 20 week appt on June 18th

Checking In
You would think as a stay at home mom that I have nothing to do except hang around my half naked almost 2 year old and watch grey's anatomy all day, but...No. With school, photography, a toddler, pregnancy and good weather; I feel the days just fly by. Its insane. This lil crazy face boy is starting to talk! He says, "bye-bye" and "no" (couldn't dodge that one), "uh-oh," "daddy" (as if daddy is never going to come home again, or maybe he thinks everything is "daddy.") The "mama's" still come in sheer desperation, but I'll take it. He's picking up more and more signs everyday. "Please, more, eat, drink, potty." He no longer just points to his hand when he wants something, which always cracked me up, like "I want that...put it in my hand. "
We are thinking its time for potty training now because the other day during "naked time" he ran into the bathroom and commenced to peeing on the floor. I wasn't happy about cleaning pee up off the floor, but I was glad that he understood the vicinity in which pee should leave your body. I'm currently "pinning" all kinds of links to help me with this wonderful task.
As you know, I am expecting #2. My first doctor's appointment was last month and what a joy that was. My husband had to work so I recruited my friend (that has 2 twin girls in the NICU) to assist me in watching my wild child as he frolicked about the waiting room and sprinted up and down the hallways. Unfortunately my doctor got called into an emergency c-section and what would have been an hour appointment turned into 3. Yikes! My friend had to head up to the NICU to see her girls, so it was just me and my hungry, grumpy son awaiting the doc. When he arrived, Coen was beyond pissed and didn't want another single human being to even look at him. The nurse tried to hold him during my "Lady tests" and he was not having it, so instead I ended up holding my wiggly child during an already uncomfortable exam. Not our finest hour, but...we did get to see Numero Dos. He or She was just a lil blob at this point. I was thinking, man what a lazy lil lump, but I guess it doesn't have any reflexes at 8 weeks so it was straight chillin. I just remember Coen looking like a lil teddy gram and wiggling all around so I was like...."ummm, what's wrong with it?" LOL. Oh and evidently my uterus is tilted now, which makes it hard and very uncomfortable to see the baby. I blame this on my last Dr. who treated my insides like a bag of laundry and kind of just shoved everything back in there. UGH. I swear I should've sued. (If you don't know the story....see Labor Day-The Birth of my Son)
Anyhow, we saw the lil one again today and its officially looking like a baby. Definitely has my big head. It was moving but not all crazy like Coen. Just a chill lil baby, which makes me nervous that when he/she gets out it will not be so chill. One calm and one wild. That's how it goes right? Mike wants to go to Fetal Photo at 15 weeks to see what we're having again. I have no intuition this time. Last time I was certain it was a boy, but this time I don't know....guess we'll see.
In other news: Spring semester is over for me. After this blog post I will take my last final. I passed my math class by the skin of my teeth. 70% need to pass, I got a 71%. I'll take it! I spent forever studying. I will officially be in college math this summer. I don't know how i'm gonna get through 1010 if I struggled so much with 990. Ugh. But I got 2 A's and even squeaked out a B in Math. Whew! I'm only taking 2 classes this summer and I may take a break this fall. A newborn, a toddler and school....I dunno if I can't take it.
I have a 5K run coming up in May and I have been slacking like nobody's business. But in my defense, I am pregnant. Morning sickness this round is All-day-sickness. Luckily Mike recruited me for his work soccer team so I've been doing a little bit of running. I think i'll still be able to pull it off. It's actually pretty fun playing with my hubby. He gets so excited for games lol, it's cute.
Anyhow, that's about all that's been going on with us. Life is pretty good.

Where I'm At
Wow. I havent' even glanced at this blog in months and i'm only taking the time to do so now because well I actually have a moment to breathe. Really I don't. I should be doing math homework that i'm a week behind on, but I just don' have any motivation. I'm exhausted and burnt out on school and chasing after my kid and trying to keep our photography biz going and also keeping the house clean, laundry done, dinner made and budget followed. Staying home....NO JOKE! My incentive at the end of the day is that everyone is alive and their bellies are full and they have something to wear tomorrow. Meanwhile....don't look at me cuz i'm looking crazy with my whispies all over the place, my once black now faded gray sweat pants now melting into my skin because i've had them on so long and the 12 lbs of luggage under my eyes. I'm looking somewhere between Nick Nolte's mugshot and just straight up homeless.
Anyhow,
The past few months my best friend has been living with us. She's known me as long as Mike and we all grew up together. She lived with me in Phoenix and when I moved back she moved to Texas with our other friend. She'd been seeing this guy on and off for years (that I introduced her to in like 2005) and she recently got pregnant and moved back to Utah to be closer to family and him. (He lives in Idaho) Well turns out she's preg with identical twin girls and she has this rare syndrome called Twin to twin transfusion syndrome where one twin is smaller and getting less bloodflow. The past 2 weeks she's been admitted to the hospital and may have to stay there until her babies are born. Could be a few weeks or could be another 15 weeks or so. She's not due until May and she's only 27 weeks now. Definitely been hard on her. She's like a sister to me, so it has not been easy to see her like this. It also turns out that her and her baby daddy don't like each other so much so she's virtually doing this all alone. I'm glad to have her back and I just pray that everything works out for her and her lil girls.
As for me
I have passed all of my classes so far (still not sure how) and i'm into my 4th semester of school now. It went by so fast. I'm starting my upper division courses this summer (except for math) and i'm not sure how we're going to do it. Mike started a new job at Wells Fargo Bank as a Personal Banker. I'm glad he's no longer on the roads and he's only about 15 mins away with an awesome schedule but I'm not sure how that is going to work with me having to be IN class soon. He really likes the job though and he seems happy to have made the change.
In December, we were all sick. Coen got the Noro Virus. Poop and Puke for 7 days. Definitely not my finest week and as you know, my husband does not do well with poop so for the most part I handled it. I don't do well with puke though, so he helped on that end. A week after that he got a nasty cold. Utah and it's shitty air. SMH. It was not a fun month. On top of that, we found out were were pregnant, took a test 2 days later only to find it was negative. We had what is called a chemical pregnancy. It's a very very early miscarriage. The Dr said it was perfectly normal and a lot of women have them without even knowing. It was a bit disappointing, but I didn't have any symptoms except a late period. I kind of had a feeling something was off. Well it threw off my cycle and we weren't sure when we could try again but just a few days ago we took a test and it was positive and now 2 days later it's positive again. i'm not sure if this one is going to stick or not and i'm kind of scared but I definitely have symptoms this time. I'm only about 4 weeks. I'm gonna see the doctor at 9 weeks and hopefully everything is going smoothly. We're excited but trying not to get our hopes up. We're estimating another late October early November baby. What is it about October for us?
So...that's what's going on for us. Same ol' same ol' except possibly a lil sis or bro for Co Co Bean. I will try to get back to keepin this up but I make no promises. Especially since i'm going to have two kids running around soon. I'm also thinking I may have to take little break from school. I'm going to have my hands full! But we'll see. One day at a time.

Sometimes
Sometimes
I don't want
my feet
on the ground
I want to dream.
keep my heart full
and my dreams big.
head in the clouds.
I want the world to stop
for just a moment.
to feel the heat
the shiver
the tingle.
To just breathe.
I want to spin
with my arms stretched out.
to dance til
I sweat
laugh til
there are tears
To smile
without force
to feel silly
and free
Sometimes...

the shiver
the tingle.
To just breathe.
I want to spin
with my arms stretched out.
