Rain or Shine!

A few weekends back we decided to head to World's of Fun and Ocean's of Fun for the day with some friends. If you are not familiar with such places, it is kind of like Disneyland except it's not the happiest place on earth:) It's an amusement park and water park in Kansas City. I grew up going there as a kid with my family and have been back a few times as an adult. As we were driving to the parks it began sprinkling and somewhat pouring on and off. It was a little soggy but perfect park whether (especially for prego me) for a couple of reasons: 1. It was not lightening so the rides were still open but there were not many people who were die hard amusement park goers like ourselves therefore the lines were short. 2. It was not hot and there was an on and off mist of cool rain coming down. Although I did not get to enjoy the excitement of screaming and being jolted around upside down, I did enjoy people watching and going to the water park for a couple hours. Teaf and I hit up the "Lazy River" and the "Wave pool" while the rest of the crew re-rode some of the rides. Of course the experience is never complete without stuffing one's face with a funnel cake. All in all it was a great day!

The ride in action-Notice Nate is no longer on Ride...or is he??

There he is...he was asked to move to the end seat...not sure why...this seemed to happen each time they reloaded the ride, someone was asked to move so that the lap bars would work-sure doesn't make me want to get on that ride!

5th car back-Teaf riding the rickety "Timberwolf"

World's of Fun goers-minus me taking the pic and Lindsey's husband who chose not to ride the Detenator

Notice- Car 2 and 3 is the crew...how sweet is that-Teaf waving??

Here they are upside down..

Here's prego-back achin' and extremely full from eating a delicious powdered sugar funnel cake:)

No Salmonella in our tomatoes:)

Here is our 1st beautiful tomato that came from our potted tomato plant. The plant was bought at the farmer's market a few months back and sat from the ground to about my shin in her pot. With the help of the green thumb expert, Mr. King, she has flourished into a great big beauty queen! The tomatoes taste great too...It's more exciting to eat something that came from your own garden or for us our own pot:) than buying it from the store!

Please HELP!

I am in DESPERATE need of a remedy for my hands that are constantly numb and feel like pins and needles are poking out of my finger tips. The worst is when I am sleeping. I wake up and think that for sure my hands are black and blue and have died in the middle of the night. I try to move them and it burns like crazy. This happens throughout the entire night, causing me to wake up way to many times for my own good. Like right now, I have been awake for an hour and ten minutes and my left hand is still tingling. This is especially happening in my left hand more than my right. My right hand does fall asleep alot but doesn't get to the point of death. When I am awake, it happens randomly throughout the day. My mom suggested that I calmly have a talk with Harper and tell her "Harper, mommy needs you to move off her giant nerve because it really hurts her." So in an attempt to help me out, Teaf had that conversation with her this morning (after he was awake on and off all night while I shook my hands like crazy and moaned) and it had to of sounded like Charlie Brown's parents talking to her. (whah whah whah whah) So, in the end she hasn't moved from my nerve and it's really getting on my nerves! :)
Please help this desperate pregnant girl....
