Samanthe Jo Brodbeck (2/11/93-6/29/07)

I am sad to say we have lost another pet. My Sammy passed away today. She lived a good life and made many a happy memory for me and later both Pilot and I. She was 14 years old. She was my saving grace growing up and I loved her so. She will always live in my heart. My mom and dad took her and buried her under their apple tree. I will make a marker tomorrow and bring it to her grave. We will miss her dearly.

My guts are revolting

My baby is getting bigger. I have popped out a little. However it is putting pressure on my guts. They are revolting in return. I am an innocent stand byer. I swear!

Butter's and GG are back

My brother in law and sister in law made it back from the 'sin city'. They went to Las Vegas for there honeymoon. Fun was had by all. I had lunch with them and my other brother and sister in law. Looked at pictures and went home. They are headed to the UP today. By the way in case you don't know it costs $2.50 to cross the bridge.


Winney is doing good. She has settled down a little....... She also has about 4 more teeth. She got 2 more on the bottom and finally her two front teeth. She may be getting her first molars
on top soon too. She had her 1 year well baby visit last week. She is a little shrimpy. Thats alright she will fit right in! She still has to take her Acid reflux medicine and do the nebulizer every night. But all in all she is a healthy baby girl! YAY!!!!!!

12 weeks!

So I am 12 weeks today! I am so excited to be starting my 2nd trimester. Everything is going good. As long as I can stay relatively less stressful! I am feeling really good. People are still finding out. It is kinda funny. This is what I hear "Soooooooo, how are you feeeeeeeling?" I am all like "fine, is there something you want to tell me?" Its kinda funny the reactions I get! I have had some crazy cravings. So far I have ate up to 5 fruit rollups in a row, about 4 HUGE piles of mashed potatoes and gravy, and drinking milk like it is going to be gone anytime (not all of these on the same day!). And of course I am soooooooo freaking tired! Oh well, it is worth it!

The Wedding

The wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! It was nice. Everything came together at the last minute and I mean the last minute, but it worked! The reception was fun. Pilot's aunt danced to 'sexy back' with a hot stud of which she did not know. It was hilarious! Fun was had by most..... Butters and GG went to a B&B for a couple of nights then went to Las Vegas for a week. I'm so jealous! And the presents! I'm kidding. I'm really happy they were able to have a nice honeymoon and get some nice stuff.

Warning!

TO ALL WHO DO NOT HAVE KIDS YET- WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU, ONLY THE KIDS.

My brother in law is getting married today. (YAY!!!!!) There was a rehearsal and dinner last night that really turned into a family BBQ. Everybody said this statement right here as soon as seeing me -"Where's BAB?" or "Where's the baby?" I was like ummm....... "Hello, what about me?" Apparently I'm not important anymore. Just BAB. So I started getting creative, mostly because I hate repeating myself, and started saying "Ohhhh, I put her down for the night and figured she be all right." or "It's right here!" and pointing to my belly. I mean seriously! Am I not allowed to have night to myself?!?!?!? Do I always have to have BAB?!?!?!?!?


On a brighter note, the wedding is going to be FABULOUS! It is going to be so beautiful! I am going to name my sister and brother in law Butters and Glamour Girl for moniker purposes. I am so nervous and excited for her I can't even sleep. I woke up at 6 in the morning just because I was so excited!

He's gone

Pilot and I took SP to his grandparents yesterday. It was a very sad day. I miss him so much. It's the little things. Like this morning when I woke up and my thoughts go to what I have to do in the morning - Make sure SP is okay. When did he eat last? When will he be hungry. What is the order for the morning? Feed BAB then SP or SP then BAB? Do I have time for a shower? Then I realize SP isn't here anymore. I almost cried again.

On the up side his grandma and grandpa are very nice people. I know in my heart that he is supposed to be there. His 8 year old brother reached up into SP's car seat stretching his little body in to give his little brother a big kiss as soon as I got there. It was so sweet! SP will have a wonderful life with his family. I know it is important for him to be with family. I know this..... But as far as he and I know WE are family. He will always be my little baby.


His grandma said I could visit anytime. I probably will to!
