Baby Kaake week 21 - Gender Update;)

Yesterday at 3:45 was the time of my ultrasound appointment. I was going crazy just waiting for it. The time finally came and Allysha and I headed off to the office. It was there we found out little baby Kaake is 13 oz, very healthy with more movement than they've seen in awhile (just like Jon) and guess what, It's a boy!!!! We are so super excited. Now we can call our dear sweet baby by it's name. It's so cute to hear Jon say "baby bruder Joshua". Lyshie wanted a girl pretty bad like her father and I, but her father and I got over it quick. It's just something about seeing a healthy baby. I LOVE it! Lyshie is doing better and realizing this is what God has for us. I just can't tell you how happy I am with the news. We went to Salvation Army today to try to find a few summer outfits for this little guy in size 0-3 months since Jon was born in the winter and Joshua should be here sometime in August. The ultrasound pictures are a little fuzzy, but I hope you can see them well enough. One is of the head, belly and legs coming up around the belly making the belly look huge. lol. The next picture is of his "manhood". You can see where it is because there is a little star there beside it. Lyshie took the picture of me getting ready to walk out the door to the appointment. Welcome to the family, little Joshua David:)

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

Gardening tips on a budget

Matt planting our $5 tree. It's 3 years old now and is gorgeous!!! A variety of basil panted in a container. Our lovely calendula. This is a family favorite grown from seed. Cherry tomatoes. Squash Another variety of basil. That was just a bit of what I grew a couple years ago. Bean plant. Lovely lavender! Many times I've wanted to plant a massive garden or have several plants I could simply not afford. Not just that but other things such as mulch, weed blankets and more. I hope you find the tips below as helpful as we have. Please feel free to add your own gardening tips. 1. Purchase trees at the end of the season. We've gotten a few trees for $5 and $10 at the end of the season. We planted them and they've done just fine! Talk about a huge savings! You can also do this with bulbs and other plants. :) 2. Use newspaper for weed barrier protection instead of the weed blankets. You'll want to do this fairly thick; anywhere from 5...

2020 From A Chronic Illness Warrior

Friends, the year 2020 has definitely looked different that’s for sure. It’s been interesting talking to my other friends with chronic illnesses and getting their perspective. For me this is what has changed. Positives: There have been more online freebies as far as events than I have ever seen. This has been great for the person with chronic illness and we all hope some of these things continue. Things such as online church, zoo, ballets, concerts, etc. No more trying to fake feeling good when I had to go out because I’m not getting out. So many more places are doing online pick up instead of just Walmart and Kroger. I needed those services before coronavirus hit the United States. Now having so many more options; it’s been a wonderful!! People finally don’t guilt trip me into going to events and family functions because they know I’m high risk. Before I felt like I had to explain away everything if I didn’t feel good enough to go somewhere. ...
