Wow!! It's been a long time

Well the last time I blogged I had just found out I was pregnant. ALOT has happened since then, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl on June 13, 2011. We named her Shelby Lynn. She is absolutely the most beautiful baby girl in the world:) Her big brother is very proud of her and watches over like a hawk. I am now a stay at mom and Cooper is out of preschool staying home with me and his sister. Overall things are just the way I want them. Can't seem to keep up with the house. Shelby does have colic and looooooves to cry, but other than that we are doing pretty well. I wanted to post some pictures and share my baby girl.

My pictures posted backwards and for some reason they posted to the top of my page.

I am also now a Scentsy Consultant. I have been selling Scentsy since November. I like doing it. It has given me a chance to meet new people and experience something new.

Another long time no post

Allot has been going on in the Wiese household. We have been staying pretty busy. Jeremy just recently started a new job, well in the last week he has. Cooper's tubes are starting to come out, well one is completely out and the other is starting to come out. I have just been working and trying to keep caught up on housework. However, that has not been going so well the last few weeks. I just haven't been feeling too well, a little moody, and my boobs have been hurting allot, oh and I missed my period and have taken 3 at home pregnancy tests and had a beta a week ago Friday that was 190 and then another last Tuesday that more than doubled it actually like quadrupled up to 722. Sooooo, Cooper is going to be a big brother. I go for an ultrasound next Tuesday, November 2nd just to make sure everything is looks ok then I go for my actually New OB appointment November 24th. We had decided we would tell no one until I went to the doctor, but then my work found out- which that is where my blood work was done, then my mom found out, then a few close family friends found out. I haven't told dad yet and I really don't know that Jeremy has told his mother. But we will make it official after we go get our ultrasound next week. We are getting pretty excited. We have a ton of stuff to get done in the next 7 1/2 months. Oh, and I will probably get to be a stay at home mom after the baby is born:) I'm pretty excited about that too. I love my husband very much. He is very good to me. I may not be the best wife in the world, but I try.

I am home today with Cooper. He has been sick most of the weekend. I am going to try to get him in to see Dr. Rao today. He has been coughing sooo much and crying cause he says his throat hurts. He was up and down last night coughing and crying and coughing sooo much that he was gaging himself and threw up this wonderful chocolate colored snot, phlem looking stuff all over our bed and all in my hand. It was just wonderful.

Well I really should be going. I have to call the doctor, take a shower, get Coop up, run to Waynesville to get our insurance cards from my husband, do some housework while I'm home today and try to find a few minutes to relax. But I guess that is what my shower will be for.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Long Time no post

It's been a little while since I've posted anything. There has been alot going on the last few months. Things were going wonderful for the Wiese Family and then the end of May, well Memorial Day weekend, I decided to become sick. And when I say sick, I mean everthing but the throwing up. Aches, pains, diarrhea, the whole 9 yards. I managed to go to work that following Tuesday, barely. I made it though. All day long everyone kept telling me, "you're pregnant". And of course my response was, " no I'm not, I have an IUD". About 3 o'clock that day I was in so much pain I went into the bathroom and just laid in the floor. I picked Cooper up from daycare and stopped by Wal-Mart. I had to find some medication of some sort. While I was in there I decided to buy a "test". Come home and slept the whole evening. The next morning when I got up, I felt alot better. I made way into the bathroom, keep in mind I never told Jeremy I bought a "test". I decided I was going to take it deep down believing there was no way I could be pregnant and low and behold 3 minutes later, "PREGNANT". I was freaking out. I called Jeremy very upset and told him. I called my very good friend Shelly whom I worked with in the OB/GYN office. She told me to be at my GYN's office right at 8:00. I showed up, of course she was out on vacation that whole week. The nurse went ahead and ordered my labs and told me she would call as soon as they come in. Waiting, waiting, and waiting, then she called back and said my BETA HCG was elevated enought to be pregnant and that the other doc wanted to see me as soon as I could get there. Went and met with Dr. Ratchford, we discussed the risks of becoming pregnant with and IUD, discussed the risks of keeping it in and discussed the risks of taking it out. Either way I was at extremely high risk for miscarriage or tubal pregnancy. Having worked in OB for some time I knew what to expect. We decided it would be best to go ahead and take it out. He did and saind he would just wait and draw another BETA the following week, meaning if I didn't miscarry, I should be far enought along to pick up on ultrasound. I was a wreck, the girls at my work talked me into drawing labs at the office and finding out a few days earlier. I got my results back from the test we drew at work, and I had miscarried. My BETA went from 59 down to 14. I was very upset. Even though I had an IUD, I still had been wanting another baby. Jeremy and I tried not get too excited while all of this was going on knowing that we were at such high risk for the miscarriage. It was hard trying not be a little excited, knowing there was good possibility we could be having another baby. It was hard finding the results, it's still very hard and makes me want a baby now 10 times more. Again, it's been hard, but we are getting through.

Cooper turned 3 June 24th. We had a nice party here at our house. We just invited close family and a few friends for BBQ, cake, ice cream, and alot of fun. All of the kids had a great time, my husband had fun being involved in a huge water fight. Just about everyone was soaked when it came time to leave. Coop got a slip-n-slide from Brayden, we set it all up and Uncle Trav even went down it. It was quite comical. Cooper is getting so big. I sometimes look at him and think to myself, "he was just a baby the other day and now he is 3". He has just been a miracle for me. I never knew I could love someone or something so much. He is a wonderful little boy and I hope someday I can have another baby to share the same kind of love for.

April 28th

Really nothing exciting happened today. Another "same-o, same-o" day at work. Come home to my boys and goofed around and took Cooper to the park for a little while. Both of my boys are in the bed resting peaceful and I am up playing on the computer. My body tells me to go to sleep but my mind tells me to keep going.

The girls at my work are having me a "weddingPampered Chef" party Friday afternoon. We all really kinda sorta forgot about it until the host called today...oops!! So I've been sending email invites for those who would like to place orders.

We are going to attempt to travel to Aunt Shana's Saturday. We didn't make it down this past weekend, Cooper decided he was going to start running a fever Saturday evening and into Sunday. So we are going to go down and see what kind of "junk" she has for her yard sale:) It will probably be like our yard sales...lots of good junk:)

I need to get started updating my photography flier and update my prices and so on. Cooper's birthday is coming up and I've been toying with different ideas. I really need to decide on some invitations. I usually make them, but...sometimes it's easier to buy them:) I will probably make them. I still have wedding thank you cards to made and mailed out.

Lovely Monday

Where to start...it's Monday...evening and we are getting ready for bed. Cooper is watching Super Slueths. Gotta love My Friends Tigger and Pooh :) I'm on the verge of getting rid of our dogs. When one comes into heat so does the other. We have spent hundreds of dollars on dog containment facilities, nice way to put dog pens, and have watched these hundreds of dollars go down the drain. Katie, our prized yellow lab can destroy a chain link dog pen in just a matter of minutes during this time to get out and go find the nearest stray dog. I put her up Friday night in her crate with Roscoe, they have food, water, get out for walks, and so on and she destroys everything. I took them for a walk this morning, feed them, and put them in their bed so I could take a shower, 20 minutes later after I'm showered and dressed I go outside and the whole front of the dog crate is gone. We are at our witts end. We have bought 2 chain link dog pens, put tops on them, spent $400.00 on an in-ground pet fence cranked on high and everything available in our area and it's all ruined.

Our goals were to raised our registered labs and it has been nothing but a flop. We have a nice fenced in yard, but do you think that is enough, no they apparently need more. Getting them fixed has been an option, but it doesn't help keeping them put up.

Anyway, enough venting about the dogs. My child tells me he is tired and ready for bed.

Have a wonderful evening!!!

Today's trivia question:

What type of flower am I????

Please post your answers as a comment. Answer to be revealed Monday April 26th.

Skip Day!! Shh...Don't tell anyone:)

I woke up this morning and decided today would be a good day to stay home. Now I know I was just on a weeks long vacation right after the wedding, but it is just a much needed day off. I mean come on, it's 9:30 and I have taken Cooper school (which I do feel badly taking him when I'm home), but I have the whole yard mowed, laundry going, and as soon as I finish this I'm starting on the dishes. I figured I would get the yard mowed before it starts raining. I think the weather forecast has rain in it for the next week 0r something.

Jeremy will spend most of his weekend turkey hunting and Saturday is Papa Edward's birthday and then Braydon's birthday party is also Saturday. Sunday I think Coop, Grandma Beth, and myself are making a road trip to go see Aunt Shana. Maybe if it's not raining we can get her some new pictures for her photography gallery:)

We have been looking a new vehicles alot the last little bit. Jeremy is torn between getting himself a new truck or getting me a new SUV. I found a Tahoe that I would love to have at the local Chevy dealer, it's a 2007 black, but it is $35,000.00...a little more than we had planned to spend. Now if we could get them to come out of the $30,000.00 mark then I think it could be a possibility.

Well, the laundry and dishes are calling me:) Have a wonderful day!!!
