Dr. appointment update

I had another tummy check today and the baby is doing great.  It had a strong heartbeat (I forgot to ask the #-poor third child, right?) and the dr. was amazed we could hear it so well at 11 1/2 weeks, he says we have a "strong baby" to hear it so early.  I think he fully expected we'd have to do an ultrasound.  Anyway, a baby joining our crew is going to have to be strong, right? 
I also did my once-a-month grocery shopping after my appointment.  It is SO tiring but I'm so glad when it's done.  It is REALLY hard to get a babysitter most times so that is another reason for the once-a-month shopping.  Where are all those people who swore they'd LOVE to babysit when I was pregnant????? You know who you are!!!  :-)  I end up buying so much stuff.....last month a man at Target stopped to watch me loading the car and said "Wow, you must have a big family."  I thought about giving a long, chatty answer about how I shop only once a month, live 45 min. away, etc. etc. and then I thought....he doesn't want to hear all that.  So I just said "yes" and smiled and he went on.  It's kind of embarrassing though!  The cashier at Sam's also questioned me-wanting to know if I was going on vacation or something.  Nope-grocery shopping IS a vacation for me!  Just kidding.  I really missed the kids today.  Carson was not feeling well this morning so he was VERY upset when I left.  Emmy didn't take a nap again today.  She skipped it yesterday too.  She just plays in her crib.  I don't know what I'm going to do with her......she NEEDS a nap.  She is raunchy by 7 if she doesn't get a nap.  Like, impossibly raunchy.  Maybe it's just a small phase.  I hope! 
Anyway, I'm off to get some rest.  I am up early tomorrow to do a little yard saling.  I'm excited-I know, I'm a nerd.  LOL>  I love looking for a bargain and it's crazy to buy all new kids clothes-at least for my kids......they can ruin an outfit in minutes.  In one meal basically.  The name brand stuff always last really well if you find that at yard sales and stains usually come out easier.....I think it's the quality of the stuff.  Anyway, I hope we find a few deals.
