Wee Wilson Tales

I am soooo very proud to say that Baby #3 is still a surprise! I followed through on my word and did not allow John to come to my ultrasounds...any of them! He is a bad influence. I have been a very good girl, and refused to look at the screen unless the tech said that it was safe. This pregnancy has flown by, and I haven't had any real problems. I did have to get on Labetalol for high blood pressure. I went in to the doctor the day after Lisa's funeral and my blood pressure was 180/100. He said that the medicine would keep me and the baby healthier, so I gave in. The medicine has been worse on me than pregnancy. It makes me really tired sometimes. I will get tired doing random things like chewing my food or walking while talking on my phone. My muscles just fatigue more quickly. Other than that, it's been an easy pregnancy so far. I am happy to report that I passed my 3 hour gestational diabetes test this time too. It was funny because I kept asking the doctor to just...

We had an Easter egg hunt at Aunt Corrie & Uncle John's house this year. The kids had a blast....playing with the dirty dog and eating lots of candy! Ronin loves animals.... The dog was WET from running through the mud. But that didn't stop Ronin from giving the dog some love. The kids with Ninny (John's grandmother). Ronin closes his eyes when you ask him to say Cheese! I love the look Jax is giving... So sweet! We had a flat tire on the way home. It took us soooo much longer to get home. I think like almost 2 extra hours. I wanted to take a picture of the manual...I was reading the owner's manual to see where the spare tire was...and it said "This vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire due to having no where to accommodate it." I'm not kidding. We found the flaw of a hybrid...all the extra stuff underneath takes up too much room so a tire cannot be stowed. Oh well, the equipped the vehcile with a nice compressor with built in sealant. Unfortunat...

We took the kids downtown to see their first live show at the Orpheum. We took them to the Storytime Live. The first 20 minutes were great...but then it was a little of a wrestling game with Ronin. John and I just passed him back and forth. We left when Dora came on (the last show). My kids have never been very big Dora fans. However, they loved the WonderPets and Backyardigans. It was a nice day, and the kids enjoyed getting out to do something different. They liked watching the kids do flips on Beale. Ronin was clapping for them. Jax was so independent and wanted to stand by himself for this picture. I couldn't help but hear my parent's warnings running through my head from my teenage years....you know, the ones where I was forbidden to go to Memphis, much less Beale Street. I get it now. I totally understand. I remember trying to assure them how safe Beale Street was since there were policeman on the street corners. Now it is very clear that they are there for a reason...a...

This weekend we finally got our liner replaced in the pool. It is full of cold, but clear water now. Yay! It was no easy task. I kept reminding myself of how I thought John and I could do this on our own. Ha! I will NEVER try it. Friday would have been Lisa's 43rd birthday. The family all got together at Arkabutla lake for a picnic and some family time. It was really special, and I love all of my family! I am so glad that none of us had to be alone at this time of remembering her. Harlee Kate: Ronin in the swing: Jax - He pulled down his pants and peed in the grass twice while we were there. I tried to explain how we don't want to let other people see our private areas...but he said, "momma, i just tee-tee'd in the wass (grass), not in my pants." He was proud, so I let it go. Like he said, it wasn't in his pants. John, Zach, Jax, and I went on a nature walk. It was very pretty and smelled of honeyscukle ... one of my favorite things! I do think I can jostle ...

We had a great Easter hunting eggs at Corrie's. We had a flat tire on the way home. John fixed it up with the kit in our car.
