15 month Update...

Hello Everyone,

Well our little one is already 15 months going on 16 months...wow, time really does fly! She is getting so big and independent. We went for her 15 month check up and she is off the chart in her height, 100% and went off her curve a bit in weight at 90-95%...ok, so she loves french fries and pasta (carbs), so we will do more of the veggies, cause yes she eats those too! And no more churros, "ampa!" LOL...
Dr is very happy and impressed with how much she is talking...oh and yes, she is at that point where she is going to be testing the waters for those lovely terrible 2's...Dr's comment was I don't know why they call it terrible 2's because you will see it starting now, and yes, we do a little bit...but boy do I see it coming! Rhowan is very independent and stubborn and wants to do it herself and she will let you know it!!! She likes to throw herself on the floor every now and then to make her point or scream to get your attention...So we are doing our best to stay on top of it because I know the best has yet to come! :)
She is finally well and over her 3 week of being sick and not sick, sick and not sick...the one downfall of daycare. I would get her better, one day back and she was sick again. It got to be soo much that she came down with RSV, Brochialitis and double ear infection...my poor baby. She is well now after a week of recovery and staying home and hopefully stays healthy. I am all about building their immune system, but mommy is preggo, working and tired too and I can't have my child sick for 3 straight weeks!!! Come on parents, keep your kids home if they are sick!!!!
She goes back for her 18 month in 2 months and that is when we have to start talking about no more bottle and slowly taking pluggy away...I am sure that will be fun when the baby sister arrives and gets both those things...hmmmmm???!!! Oh and yes, not sure if we offically announed on the blog being I don't get to update much anymore, but we are having another baby girl!!! Rhowan will be a big sister and show her the way to being a princess!
Well that is about it for now...

Hormonal Mess...

So this morning I am driving to work, running a little bit late as always. We are at that stage where Rhowan wants to walk herself out of the house and into the car and be a big girl down the stairs, etc. Needless to say, getting home for the day and leaving for the day is a 10 minute task. But I allow her to do these things because I am the one always rushing out the door and hurrying up, she doesn't know the dang difference between 7:40 and 7:50 and what just ten minutes does to your ride to work!

Anway, I drip her off to daycare, go to Jamba Juice for breakfast on the way to work, and I am on my way. I am less than a mile from work, when I am braking from the hill on Willow and whatever street it is with the cemetery right there when a cop sees me, from the other side of the street, makes a u-turn with his lights and pulls me over.
I am thinking, SHIT, my liscence is expired, but I have a DMV appt. So he comes up and says, "are you in a rush?" Well, "yes, I actually am, I am pregnant, not feeling well, having a bad morninig and late to work." He says, "do you know the speed limit?" I say, well it must be 40 as there is a sign right in front of my damn face! He asks for license, registration and an updated address, I explain I have a dmv appt. He says, "you were going 54 in a 40." He walks away, I begin to cry...I mean ball, I can't stop the tears. All I can think of is shit, we already have a $456 camera tix to pay of TJ's, I need to re do another baby room, why another expense. I am soooo upset. He comes back, continues to lecture, sees me full on crying, and rubbing my belly for more of a dramatic spin, and he says, "slow down for now on" and walks away. I couldn't even drive away for a few minutes because I was crying to hard. I get to work and I am still crying. First off, what is wrong with me? It's just a stupid ticket? Then I am pissed! Who gives a freaking crying, pregnant woman a ticket. Go catch a F*&#ing criminal and use your time wisely!!!!! UGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I am still upset about it as you can see. My fault, yes. Big deal, not really (unless you're the one paying my bills.) It just ruined my day, threw me off, and makes me want to go home and call it a day!

I don't remember being this emotional when I was preggo with Rhowan...I cry on every TV show, at every memory, at every song on the radio, at pictures, etc. What is going on?!!!!
