Neither Here Nor There…..

A few blurbs about what has been going on here at the Hustad’s recently, since I have not had the time or energy to write a full post lately!
- This morning while driving to school from swimming lessons Wyatt said to me, MOM! You haven’t given me a hug yet today! This was true, and I was touched that he realized how much I DO hug and kiss him everyday. He must know how much I love him! He then proceeded to spill an entire box of Cheeze-Its on the floor of my one-month old Suburban. He then blamed me for going over a bump and making the box jump out of his lap.
- Why do men even ask our opinion? Chris asked me if I thought we should get a camper this summer. I told him it was not a great time due to me having a baby in two months. He proceeded to purchase an RV the next day. He then asked if it was OK if he paid for a camp site for the entire summer to leave the RV on. I told him I didn’t think it was great timing – I was unsure if we’d really get our money’s worth since I’M HAVING A BABY IN AUGUST. He then proceeded to argue all the reasons it WAS a good idea. We now have a camp site for the entire summer if anyone’s interested in using it.
- Brooklyn has a new word! NO! Yes – that’s the word – NO! I asked her the other day if she wanted a snack, to which she usually runs to her chair and tries to climb in. This time she looked me square in the eyes and said, Nooooooooo. Since then, she answers Noooooooo to questions very appropriately. Like, Brooklyn – do you need to go to bed? Noooooooooo. Or Brooklyn, do you need a time out? Noooooooooooooooo.
- As I mentioned previously, Wyatt has started swimming lessons at the YMCA. After his first lesson, the teacher asked Chris if these were his first lessons. She probably questioned this due to the fact that she almost loses her swimsuit every day because Wyatt is grasping at her so frantically. Yeah, he’s still a bit scared of the water. But he is doing better every day. Even if all the other kids (girls) in his class are swimming circles around him. Actually, they are swimming circles around him and the teacher. Since he won’t let go of her.
- I am one of those annoying people who has never experienced heartburn before. Not even through three pregnancies. Until now. I think the last two nights I may have had heartburn. I described my symptoms to Chris and he thought that’s what it is. Normally, Chris is the LAST person I would ask for medical advice, but he has suffered from GERD for like 7 years now. I figured he might know this one. If it is heartburn, I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. Feels like my supper is going to come back up into my throat. Ish. Can you get heartburn from coffee? Because I think I might have had it this morning too. I should probably know this, as a health care professional? And weird that this third baby is going to give me heartburn when the other two didn’t?
- Even though we have had a relatively cool summer this year, I continue to feel like I am dying of heat stroke. I keep the house around 70 degrees and I feel like I’m going to melt into a puddle of pregnant sweat. Wyatt wakes up with his teeth chattering and asking for more blankets while I sweat the night away. Holy hormones in over drive. I vaguely remember being warm during my third trimester with the other two, but it was 10 degrees outside – perfect. It’s 68 degrees out today. I’m dying. I’m dying a hot, hot death.
- I continue to try to figure out a way to make a pharmacist salary by making hair bows and hair clips. It’s tough. Chris told me this weekend that when I first started The SunshineShoppe he thought it would be a flop. I continue to do everything in my power to prove him wrong. Because what’s important is that I am right and he is wrong.

Coffee can give you heartburn, especially on an empty stomach.
