I found a place where you can get paid to like stuff on Facebook, Twitter, and comment stuff on Youtube. It's a pretty easy thing to do, and so far so good! ^_^ It's called Social Jobs and it's an egg in the basket for me. I just wanted to share with everyone here that Social Jobs is pretty sweet, and you guys should check it out :-) My user name there is thenguyenclan so if you want to you can put me as the referral person when they ask you ^_^

It's February!!
And I have yet to give birth to my little girl.
We had an ultrasound yesterday and she has such cute chubby cheeks! ^_^
But it is the 12th of February and my baby Vanessa would have been 20 months old today :-( *sigh* I wonder what she would be doing right about now??....
Anyways I just wanted to give you guys a quick update...I'm trying to get better about this whole blogging thing but I'm really slacking :-/

December.....
Okay this is the middle of December, and I have yet to really publish anything.
I said I was going to update this blog, but I never did. So here goes...
I am pregnant with my fourth child (yes fourth). We are due in February and it's going to be a girl! My husband and I are really excited for the upcoming birth of our baby, and I can't believe that it's flown by so quickly. I am still staying at home with the kids. Life is slowing down sort of (haha). I am trying new things out...I will be starting college (online) in January (hopefully). I am going for an AA Degree in Science and Math. Maybe when I feel like going in to debt again maybe I will transfer to a 4 year University somewhere and do something else.
For right now, I am loving my life. My husband and my children are my world. I miss my Vanessa terribly, she would have been 18 months old by now. I still think of her every day, but it's getting easier to bear with the pain and the guilt.
I have some awesome friends....I wouldn't be able to get through my days without them. I am still addicted to Facebook, but the games...not so much anymore (hehe). I became an Ombudsman for my husband's command (NSA Bethesda) so for all of you in the Navy that are stationed there look me up!! ^_^
Other than that, I just wanted to start afresh and hopefully 2011 will be me year!! ^_^

A lot has happened
And then some I would say....
It is now almost February and I have yet to tell all of you something. My daughter Vanessa born June 12th, 2009 passed away on September 20th, 2009. She was my youngest baby. The baby that hardly cried. The baby that slept through the night for me. She was such a morning person and the light of my life. She passed away from SIDS. You can read my journey about her and the stories I have at vanessa61209.blogspot.com
I love her so much and I miss her every single day.
That is all I want to share at the present moment. I believe tomorrow will be the beginning of a new leaf in the blog world for me. I am going to try and keep up this blog like I kind of sort of used to. I had a job in December but then left said job in January :-( so I am still a stay at home mom. I still have three children although one is not physically with us she is always with us in spirit and in our hearts. My husband is still in the Navy, and I still have two adorable toddlers who like to test my patience every day.
I have good days....I have bad days and I have days that are in between.
I'm a mom, wife, sister, daughter and granddaughter and semi dad when my husband isn't around. I play and laugh with my children and right now....I wish my family were physically together but we are all connected at the heart.
I like reading, writing and I am now really addicted to Facebook. But that's what gets me through the days. That and my family and friends. I will post more later...I just wanted to get those words off my chest. Ta ta for now blog world.

Another 2 weeks have gone by...
Like the title says, another two weeks have gone by, and once again I'm sorry for just now updating you all.
I have finally given birth!! My days of pregnancy are now officially over. (Thank you!! Thank you!!) Three days after I wrote the last update, I drove to the hospital for a routine check-up, and when I got there, the doctor checked me out and told me that I was 6cm dilated. I was ecstatic because that meant that I could head on over to the labor deck and have the baby later on that day or the next (though I was really hoping for the same day).
Anyways, to make a long story short, I had my baby girl at 3:48PM on Friday the 12th. She weighed 8 pounds 2.3 ounces, and was 20.25 inches long. We finally decided on a name too (obviously!) Please welcome Vanessa Huynh-Thy to the world.
Now let me tell you that this recovery period has been so much worse than with my first two. I could barely walk after I had Vanessa. My pelvic region (amongst other regions) have never been so sore. After I gave birth to my first two babies, my recovery time was just a few hours. With this one, almost two weeks later, and I am just beginning to feel normal. There were days where I almost cried because I couldn't get out of bed.
But, it has been almost 2 weeks since she was born, and I am so glad that she is healthy and happy, and her older siblings love her. I have been truly blessed because my other two children adore their baby sister and are always wanting to hold the baby and make sure that she is OK. Like the other day, Emma (my oldest) wanted to hold Vanessa, and she wouldn't give her back to us. They fell asleep on the couch together with Emma holding on to her, and it was just the cutest thing in the world.
On a sad note, my hubby had to leave us yesterday for 3 weeks. I knew he
had to go, and I was expecting this day to come, but I didn't think I was going to be this sad about him leaving. I have always kept everything together, especially for the children, but yesterday was really hard on me. It does get easier saying goodbye, but this last one took a toll on me emotionally.
Hopefully the next three weeks will fly by really quick, and my little (big)
family can be somewhat together again. I say somewhat because the Navy Base he works at is three hours away, and I have been commuting back and forth between there and our house for the past year and a half now.
Oh, before I forget I have to congratulate my friend Rachel on having her own bundle of joy. Her hubby works on the same boat as mine does, and we got pregnant at about the same time since the boat was deployed last year and we got pregnant like 2 months after they got home. But congratulations again Rachel!! ^_^
Come to think of it, there has been a lot of baby dust flying around. I now know of 4 people who are pregnant, 2 due in October and 2 due in February of next year. I wonder if there is something in the air that is causing all these babies to be conceived?? Hhhmmm, something to ponder over later.
Anyways, my newborn is sleeping and I actually have schoolwork that needs to get done. Remember when I said I was doing Medical Transcription from home? Well I still have to finish the schooling for that. I am way behind, and I need to finish up this one course before I can start the actual transcribing course. I have until the 18th of August to complete everything. Wish me luck!!

Wow....
Well, hello there world! I am so sorry I haven't posted anything in 2 weeks. Life has been super crazy. What has been going on? Well......
First of all, I would like to send congratulations to my husband. He is in the Navy, and has recently been promoted to First Class Petty Officer, and I cannot be more proud of him. He has worked so hard, and it has finally paid off. :-) Love you hunnie! With this new promotion, my husband and I have decided that re-enlisting for another 3 years in the Navy will be a lot better than going out into the civilian world. This decision has been in the "talking phase" since last year, when we knew that he only had a year left in the Navy. I am glad that we will have job security and great health benefits for our family.
Secondly, everyone here knows I'm pregnant, and my due date is today, and still no baby! :-( I am a very sad person, but I know that she will come out when she is ready and not a moment sooner (though I wish for my sake that she comes out really soon). We still have no name for our baby, although I think that we have decided on a name for her (which I won't mention here because I don't want to jinx the name), but I'm really not sure. Like with our previous babies, I know that we will finally know what her name is when we meet her.
Third, and this is more of a rant really because I cannot help but say what I am about to say... I am a miserable pregnant person! I love my children, and this just proves that I will endure endless hours of torture in order to have them. My ribs and pelvis feel like they are cracking. She will move one way, or punch me in another, and it feels like im dying. Yesterday as I was walking around the NEX (Navy Exchange - Navy version of Walmart), the baby decided to punch me in the pelvic region. While I admire her efforts in trying to make mommy pass out from the pain, I can't help but buckle down and beg for her to come out really soon. :-(
I have to apologize for the short post, but duty calls and children and their messes need me. Hopefully one day soon, my children will no longer spill their drinks or get food all over the carpet. Until that day comes, I guess I will just have to Simple Green the crap out of my carpet and pray that it will stand up to another year of craziness from my toddlers.
