My sister-in-law is obsessed with stereotyping my family as being FISCHERS. My son likes Legos? Well obviously it's because he's a FISCHER. My daughter is stubborn? It couldn't possibly be because she's 2 1/2 or her Mama is stubborn, it's because she's a FISCHER. My kids don't want to eat? Well, that stumps her because a FISCHER would never NOT ( Read more... )

My last update/post was so long ago I don't remember when it was.  A lot has happened over the last few weeks.  First off, some good news: MATT IS NOT BEING DEPLOYED.  Yay!!!!  We found out the week before Thanksgiving that they are not sending him off to someplace sandy.  That doesn't mean he won't go at all, he's just no longer scheduled to go ( Read more... )

This beautiful poem was read at the last Keesler Spouses Club meeting I went to.  It transcends rank, years in service, age, and brought tears to the eyes of every wife there from the Generals wife all the way down to me, the wife of an enlisted Senior Airman.

What is a MILITARY Wife?
They may look different and each is wonderfully unique But this ( Read more... )

 Matt got the keys to our new house this morning.  Maintenance didn't mow the yard for us before turning things over, just one more thing to add to our To-Do list.  My dear husband was a sweetheart and stopped at Starbucks for me before going into work.  Good thing too, I kept falling asleep on the sofa while nursing Evy.  Even Avery dumping his ( Read more... )

SIMPLY LEMONADE

My newest craving. I think I must drink at least two gallons a week. We buy it as often as we buy milk now. Yumyumyumyumyum!!!

I had another baby doctor appointment this past Thursday morning. After a very long and involved discussion regarding my last c-section with Avery the doctor and I decided to schedule another c-section for this baby. He says that I can try for a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section) if I want to, but my chances of delivering successfully are only ( Read more... )

I missed my appointment to go in for my glucose test this morning. I took Matt into work, got home, made breakfast and took a shower thinking I didn't need to be back at the hospital until noon until all of a sudden I got a call from Matt at 10:40 telling me I needed to be there at 11. Well, crap. That was so not going to happen this morning. ( Read more... )

I woke up every two hours last night to pee. Around 2am I drank a glass of water, it gave me heartburn. Yes, WATER gave me heartburn, WHAT THE HECK!?! So, several tums and getting out of bed again because Avery woke up and I was able to go back to sleep, for two more hours. So, I'm tired today ( Read more... )

I spent the entire day online researching strollers, bassinets, baby swings and other various baby related products. I know what I want in all the categories, why is it so hard for manufacturers to read my mind and just produce what I want in a quality product at a reasonable price? *sigh* My head hurts. I'm going to be dreaming about sit-n-stand ( Read more... )

You must all watch the documentary The Business of Being Born. Matt and I watched it this evening and it was just amazing to see all the birth options and choices we always knew about but never really considered to be viable alternatives to your typical hospital birth. I had such an unsatisfactory experience when I gave birth to Avery and I ( Read more... )
