Sorry...

So carol, keeps bugging me!!LOL

I'm sorry to report that my pregnancy hormones got me very confused about when my ultrasound was. I always knew it was on the 4th, however...in my mind...that was this past week...

Sorry, my ultrasound is this coming up Friday April 4th

Me

Well, it's been a bit since I updated.

My pregnancy is trucking right along. I am nearly 20 weeks, which equals half way done. I have days when I feel good, I have days when I feel really ill. The days I feel ill, usually coincide with me telling people that I am feeling better. Why does it happen like that?

I'm having some issues that are putting this pregnancy into the higher risk category. But I am getting over the intial fear/shock of it. I am learning that there isn't a thing I can do about it(and oh how I hate that) and that I need to take it one day at a time.

My hormones are all over the place, oh the joys of pregnancy...stop the ride, I wanna get off.
I have yet to even crack open a baby name book. That one feels so hopeless. A boys name will be incredibly difficult for me.And of course it is always left up to me to come up with a name, and Henry usually yay's or nay's it. Maybe this time I should leave it all up to him.

Adaira has had her 5th birthday. Funny how what seemed to be a HUGE number with the first born, isn't so big with the second born. She had a grand party, with friends from preschool and Sunday school. I think that was VERY helpful in cementing some friendships at preschool, she was having a bit of a hard time with that.

I think that is all for them moment. I'll try to update sooner, perhaps after my ultrasound on Friday. Wow...guess I really do have a bebe growing inside me!!!!

Done...oh so done!



That was it, the last evening of Canskate. We were going 2 days a week, and it was getting exhausting for everyone. I think leif especially. He didn't even want to go to his last "carnival" so to speak, he was just done! But we made him! When he began this october, he couldn't even walk on the ice. He now skates backwards, forwards, can jump, turn around, stop, and skate pretty darn fast. We're so proud of him, even if he was miserable about it!

Adaira is begging to skate next year...I don't know if I can take it again!

We may skip a year, especially with a newborn and a toddler!

Why?

So my children have found a new channel on TV that they seem to be enjoying. That for the most part, is very family friendly. The channel I speak of it Teletoon Retro. It's all the tv shows that I grew up with, such as The Flintstones, RocketRobinhood, the old Scooby Do...you get the idea. They are loving it, and I love that it's cartoons that I don't need to worry about, unlike some of the other "cartoon" channels.

What troubles me, is the commercials they show, why oh why...and did I say WHY? Do they have to ruin a perfectly good channel with highly inappropriate commercials. I have seen text/dating messaging, pregnancy tests, highly sexual redbull, always pads, among other things, infact, I'm not sure if I have seen any "kid/toy" commercials on it.

It's obvious to me, that they are under the (wrong) impression that their target audience is 30 somethings, such as myself. Do they really think that they have 30 year olds out there, sitting around, doing nothing all day but watching their old favorites...PLEASE!!!!!!!!

While I admit, there would be the odd one, come on...who is watching this stuff...KIDS!!!!! And mine don't need to see all these garbagey commercials. I really don't need/want to be explaining this stuff to my well under the age of needing to know kids.

WHY do they do this?

I also have a beef for some of the other cartoon channels, who not so late at night play highly offensive cartoons.... can they not leave this for the "other"channels. There has been the odd sick night, when my kids have been up late, and looky looky, at the scary offensive garbage they they can surf through, in their regular cartoon channels. I know there is other garbage on other channels, but they know that that set of channels is okay for them...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Some of these shows, have scared my kids, some of it flies over their heads, while other stuff, I am stuck explaining, prematurely.

I know, the tv could get shut off, but it just shouldn't have to be that way... why are these people wanting my kids to grow up so dang quick. LET THEM BE KIDS!!!!!

Okay my rant is over, I think I shall shoot an email off to them, and let them know just how I feel.
