Beat the Heat

What a heat wave we have been experiencing! A scorching 104 degrees today.  At least we have electricity, from what I have been reading some people that were hit by the storms that went through are having to survive the heat with no electric.  Talk about hot they can't even keep cool drinks in the fridge.  So it could be worse. I am thankful as to what I have to try and survive this long drawn out heat wave.

Negative Pregnancy Test

Just an update for those who follow my blog to let you know I took another home pregnancy test yesterday and it was still faintly positive.  I continued to have bleeding yesterday though and the positive pregnancy test was probably just from leftover hcg still in my body as it doesn't just disappear over night when you have a miscarriage.  So a day later I take another pregnancy test and sure enough it was negative.  So I lost the baby.  This is never easy and only helps when I put it all in God's hands and remember let not my will but his be done. 

Update on Pregnancy

While I am sitting here on bed rest I thought I would update you on the pregnancy.  A couple of days ago I started spotting.  Not much just a little here and there.  It got worse to the point I felt like I was having a period.  I have had bad pain in my stomach and took a couple of Tylenol to try and ease the pain.  The bleeding has continued and I should be 7 weeks pregnant today.  I had went to the Care pregnancy center and got confirmation that I was 6 weeks pregnant just last week.  I also signed up for the WIC program and when they tested my iron levels they were low at 9.  So the bleeding is not going to help that any either.  Until I can make a Dr. Appointment next week I am trying to be on bed rest.  Easier said then done.  When there is laundry and dishes to do and kids that want to eat you just have to get up and do it no matter how you feel.  Unless you have a maid that is :)  Updates to follow soon.

Baby Cockatiels Hatching

We have baby Cockatiels Hatching!  Lots more to hatch but the first one is already here.  It is so cute thought I would share with the rest of you!  The bottom photo shows the proud parents.

Wahmof6 to be Wahmof7

Yes thats right I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive!  Now wahmof6 will be wahmof7.  Not sure yet if I will change the site name or just leave it the same.  According to my calculations I am due around Feb 3, 2013 so I have a long time to think about it.  Lots of things going on here so much that I am to the point of thinking I will never get caught up.  We attended the local church Sunday and it was such a great lesson on not being self serving but serving others.  Sometimes we just get so caught up on ourselves we forget others have needs too.  Alot of the time they are more important than our own.  Try to help someone out this week.  I am sure they would be thankful and it is our duty!

Camping

We made it back from our first camping trip of the year!  We camped and fished and cooked out on the grill.  The kids had fun catching those fish but they were to little to keep so we had to throw them back.  We seen plenty of wildlife.  Snakes,birds,frogs,fish,geese and spiders.  What more do you need to make it a real camping trip?  It took all week to pack and will probably take a week to unpack but the kids had a blast and will remember it forever! It's  all worth it in the end.

Coupons pay off

After putting my couponing on hold for a little while I finally decided to get back on track and clip some more coupons.  I had a great week and ended up getting 16 free 2 liters from clipping coupons!  I cannot wait to see what I can get free next week to help my family out in the grocery line!  Just a tip to remember when couponing:  If the item you are after is totally sold out don't forget to ask for a raincheck so you can get the deal later when supplies are restocked.
