Brilliance is often mistaken for Insanity....and Insanity is often mistaken for Brilliance

Had our ultrasound today!!!

2009-06-10T22:10:00.005-05:00

Here is Fricklet #3 at approximately 7 weeks and 2 days gestation...the ultrasound tech says that I am due Jan 25th 2010.

I do believe that they're wrong...bc if I am really due Jan 25th...then I got my positive preg test a few days before the baby should've even implanted.

There is officially just 1 baby!! The heartbeat was 158 and I could see it just thumping away...it's such an amazing thing to see! I never had an early ultrasound with the girls so this was all new to me! My husband (Jeremy) and I were both crying watching the screen. I am sooo happy!! The ultrasound tech said that everything looked PERFECT!!!

At first I was kinda down by the fact that there's just one baby, but the more that I think about it, the more I'm liking the idea of one baby. Less worries during the pregnancy (hopefully). More of a change for my VBAC! (Which my dr's seem to be completely with me on!!) I bet breastfeeding will be soo much easier! I just cannot fathom how easy this is going to be with just one baby!! Just one diaper to change, one baby to get up for feedings, one child crying, one child to chase, one high chair, one jumperoo, one crib (ok, we never used two cribs but still!), one child to feed, clothe, all that good stuff. I love my twins (beyond belief) and would not be upset at all if we had another set, but I think I like this idea of not having a litter this time!!!

What's been boggling my mind since the ultrasound is the fact that I am so sick and nauseous with this baby!! I was never sick with the girls! They say (and I've read) that twins and girls will cause the most morning sickness too!! Go figure!!
That's all for today, I have heartburn and a gully washer is hitting here hard, high winds, tons of thunder & lightening, I need to shut down the laptop!

A new Lil Bean for the Frick's!!

Well, we are officially having another baby!!!

I had my first OB apt on my Bday (Weds June 3), all went well and I have a dating/checking for twins again ultrasound on Weds June 10th (TOMORROW!~!!).

I plan to keep up better on you, dear blog, even though I don't have any followers, I would like to keep up and try to blog every other day or so. I'm horrible about remembering anything though.

This past weekend we had our annual MRM event! That's why I posted the pic of me and Jer (on Sweetin's bike though, I wanted one w/ a bitch bar just in case since I'm pregnant). All went well, MRM raised a buttload of $$ which is ROCKING!!! I'm so glad that we're finally getting it all together, getting the actual memorial up and what not. Check out the site! http://www.mrmofil.org

Now that I think of it, I do believe that it's the first event I've been to that I didn't see someone get wasted and drop their bike!! But then again, I did leave around dark, they had plenty of time to do it after I left. Ha! I wanted to ride my bike SOOOOOOO bad!! But I know I shouldn't, my ol Rat Bike shakes and vibrates and the damn throttle sticks, it's not worth risking the baby over. I sure cain't wait till next spring though!

Ok, back to my new pregnancy.

Make a pregnancy ticker

This is my ticker, I'll find out tomorrow if it's close to being accurate or not. I am so excited to get my ultrasound! I never had an ultrasound early on with the girls, so this is going to be different for me. Jer's going with me and I'm hoping to get to eat Wendy's again! :) I do believe that I am done for the day....the second I typed "Wendy's" my stomache started yelling FEED ME FEED ME FEED ME FEED ME!! This baby is cotton pickin picky on what he/she will let me eat! I wasn't sick at ALL with the girls but this one...hooo-eee, I sure am with this one!!

A few years...

2009-04-08T14:05:00.000-05:00

Well, it's obviously been a rather lllooonnnngggggg time since I've been on here...I would apologize for being gone but I know no one reads this so no one cares....

The girls are 2 and 1/2 already :( They're growing entirely too fast...We're working on potty training and boy lemme tell ya, that's a flipping BLAST.

They're rather well behaved kids actually, I'm very very lucky but I've always known that! :) I tend to get a lot of compliments when I'm out with them about how well behaved they are. Makes me sooo proud.

I have a lot more to say, and I would love to bitch about my husband for a few minutes but I know that I need to fix the kids something to eat....

I am having a horrible day. I'm tired. I feel like deep fried donkey shit. I'm hungry. My nerves are on edge already. I should be happy and all that, today I'm off work and so is my husband....but nope, I'm not happy in SOOO many ways I am definitely NOT happy.

My husband is a crack head

2007-01-24T16:49:00.000-06:00

Ok we were in the bathroom smoking and he picks up the instructions thingy for my tampons and starts reading! lmao What a dork!!
He was picking on my earlier and I told him that when he gets home from work in the morning and passes out he's going to wake up w/ something strange insterted into his rectum. heeh
So I picked up this tube of bath confetti that one of the mommas got me for christmas and told him thats what he was going to get. Lmao...so then we go off on this whole tangent about farting confetti and a SURPRISE party. That would be one hell of a surprise eh? We're crack heads, I swear!

Paranoia

2007-01-24T04:08:00.000-06:00

Akira was jumping and having a ball in her jumperoo earlier tonight and I was LOVING it!
She hasnt really seemed to like her jumperoo much yet but tonight she was just jumping up a storm! I really wish I could capture the look on her face when she's jumping bc it is just soo darn adorable!! She gets all into it!! But, alas, it blurs.

Paranoia Paranoia everyones out to get me....
I think I have driven myself even deeper into my insanity...I'm sitting here alone, its after 4 am...and I am HEARING SHIT!!! I'm used to the sounds of the rats and what not, but seriously, I feel like there is some imminent danger near by and I dont get why! We live in the country, we do have neighbors, I personally know all 3 of them very very well and the woman who lives closest to us happens to be my cousin (she's in her late 70's now). I just have this horrible feeling and I dont know why!!! I want to leave the front door locked but I know that I have the house key bc Jeremy didnt take his keys w/ him when he went out on the rig tonight. POO!! And I know I more than likely won't wake up when he gets home around 8 am unless he tries to sneak in and be quiet, he knows if he just bangs around like normal it won't phase me.

I guess I'm just a freak or something!! We live right on a highway that there is a decent amount of traffic on for the area, although the only things I've personally heard go by in the past couple hours is semi's and truck drivers don't bother me. Its the strangers in cars that aren't from here that bother me.

Ok I should probably go to bed...maybe I'll load the 30-06 and put it under my side of the bed, make me feel better! lol G'night world!!

What a miracle

2007-01-24T00:53:00.000-06:00

Do you ever just gaze into the faces of your children? You should. Its so amazing to just watch them and think about what a miracle they are. I was just sitting around and staring into Akira's face and she would just look up at me and grin ever so slightly, its so amazing. I love my children more than anything. I could never imagine that I could love anyone as much as I love my girls, they are such miracles and so amazing.

I just can't get over how they came from ME and Jeremy, its amazing. WE made the girls, they are ours and ours alone. Its such a miracle...really it is, and then think about how small your children were when they were born. When we went to see our friends and their new baby boy last Saturday, he's an 8lb baby btw, I was amazed at how little he seemed and my girls were 5lbs each!! I just can't get over how big they are!!

They had their 4 month appointment Monday. Alexa weighs 14.8 lbs and Akira weighs 12.12lbs both are 24 1/2 inches long. Dr. Kotrakona said they are doing GREAT! And she complimented me on how good I am with them. She said that I seem so natural w/ them like I've always had children. She was amazed that the girls are my first babies. It made me feel so wonderful that she said that because I worry all the time that I'm not good enough of a mother to them. I'm afraid I leave them in their high chairs too much, that I don't hold them enough....that they don't feel loved or know what love is.

I just worry too much I think. I remember my OB, Dr. Gates made fun of me bc I was afraid to get my IUD bc I was scared it would hurt and he said this: "You are scared to get it? You, the one who carried TWINS like it was NOTHING!! And mothers them easier than most do one baby?! You are scared to get an IUD?"

Maybe I am a good mother...Maybe I just worry entirely too much...bah
Ok, I'll probably write more later, I'll be up most of the night ;)

Baby Food, not just for babies!!

2007-01-23T23:05:00.000-06:00

I've found that recently I have become rather addicted to Bananna baby foods....even when they have strawberry and pears in it too!! They're so damn good!! They need to make them for adults!

Jeremy went to work tonight. He's filling in for Bj on the rig. I worry so much when he's working on the rig, especially when its so cold like it is. I worry that I'm going to get a phone call...that he's been hurt. I know it can happen, but I keep trying to tell myself that its NOT going to happen.

I entered the girls in a photo contest, so if anyone happens to actually read this, PLEASE go vote for my girls!

Combobulation

2007-01-23T14:29:00.000-06:00

Have you ever wondered why the word Discombobulation exsists?
Can a person actually BE combobulated? Lets see, now what is the exact definition of discombobulation...

dis·com·bob·u·late [dis-kuhm-bob-yuh-leyt]

–verb (used with object), -lat·ed, -lat·ing.

to confuse or disconcert; upset; frustrate: The speaker was completely discombobulated by the hecklers.

dis·com·bob·u·la·tion, noun

dis·com·bob·u·late (dĭs'kəm-bŏb'yə-lāt')
tr.v. dis·com·bob·u·lat·ed, dis·com·bob·u·lat·ing, dis·com·bob·u·lates
To throw into a state of confusion. See Synonyms at confuse.

discombobulation
noun

Ok, now that said then how would a person be combobulated?? unconfused?? Maybe to throw out of a state of confusion? I don't know, I don't get it at all....

Woogie Boogie oh yeah

2006-11-23T20:19:00.000-06:00

Hello world!! And yes, I AM a very boring person! lol I've always wanted to start a blog so here I am! I really have no life....but I'll tell ya all about it! hehe
I guess I should give an intro to myself so here goes:
I'm 21 years old, I'm married, I got married on the 4th of July in 2004 to an amazing man named Jeremy Frick. He can be a prick but I love him! :) We have 2 beautiful little girls, Alexa and Akira, they are twins, born on September 17th, 2006. I LOVE my kids!! Its so amazing being a mother. I'm not a normal female, I get along better with guys than girls, girls can be too catty and superficial most of the time. I've been through HELL w/ my husband but its ok and its all been worth it. I went to college at RLC and at NADC, never graduated either though. I went to become an Auto Diesel High Performance Mechanic. I've been thinkly lately that I might go back to college this January for Graphic Art. Not sure yet.
Last weekend I went out w/ my father in law and we went to a bar in Herrin, IL, I think its called Hurley's, well I'm hoping to get a job there. I could make around $200 a night in just tips!! I'd finally be able to buy some decent clothes and my husband couldnt keep the money away from me! so HAHAHAHAHAA at him!! I'm hoping that he gets his unemployment check tomorrow so I can go back to that bar and talk to the owner about a job. I am really excited about working there. I think it'll be a lot of fun too, it'll be nice to be out and be around other adults for a while and I'll have fun, I know I will. My only problem w/ it is that I'm afraid I wont be able to hear the drink orders very well over the music but that's ok, I"ll get used to it I hope.
I'm trying to talk my hubby into letting me buy a shirt or two tomorrow afternoon (if he gets his check, good lord I hope he gets his check) I gotta look all sexy-fied for the job but its ok...I cant wait to start work, I think I'm gonna really love it. It'll be good hours for me too, 6pm until close, not sure when they close though. Jeremy's mom, Julie used to work for the owners husband when he owned a strip club so I have a good reference there at least. lol

Akira was all smiley a couple minutes ago, it was SOOO cute!! I cant wait until they laugh, its going to be so amazing! They had dr's apts yesterday, Alexa weighs 10 1/2 lbs and Akira weighs 9 1/2 lbs, so she's catching up! They were both 21 1/2 inches long. Growing sooo good! I can't believe they're already 2 months old! 9 weeks! Will be 10 weeks Sunday!! Its SO amazing!!

Not sure if this'll work or not...I hope so, if it does this is a pic of me from when I was about 4 months pregnant.
Ok and I'm done for now, gotta do a virus scan, hopefully, if that pic works, I'll post again here in a few and post a bunch of pics of the girls!
Au Revoir!
