Appt. Update

Posted Friday, May 22, 2009 9:31 AM

I went to the doctor's yesterday, and everything looks good! He didn’t think it was too early to feel the baby, and the nurse seemed to think what I was describing was it, too. I told him I had some questions about labor & delivery, and he said it’s

Living in a war zone

Posted Thursday, May 21, 2009 9:05 AM

Well, the roofers got to our house at 7am this morning . . . apparently they worked from 9am-7:30pm yesterday. We have half our roof done, and they are going to try and finish today. But this entails: them tromping all over all my flowers even though

What a difference a year makes . . .

Posted Wednesday, May 20, 2009 11:05 AM

Well, I’ve been busy the past day or two. We’re both running around in a mad dash trying to get the essentials done and get ready to go on vacation. Our house has started renovations – so far we have the porch gables roughed in and half of our house has

Now that it's getting closer to that time . . .

Posted Tuesday, May 19, 2009 1:48 PM

I'm starting to get curious as to what we're having - boy or girl (4 more weeks until we could find out). But even if we did find out, I still don't want anyone else to know (because I don't want them complaining or telling us what to name it or buying

I am going to be super busy today at work, so I'll present a very brief synopsis of my weekend for now. Friday evening - headed up to visit Mom and sis Sat - hit the community yard sale - baby clothes fifty cents each (got some, but not too many), a jogging

Some belly pics

Posted Monday, May 18, 2009 7:39 AM

Here are a couple of belly pics - I'm still working on the 16 week one . . . 9 weeks 12 weeks (love the slept-in makeup and how big my ass looks) I always try to do them in the morning and suck it in - at least I was at first so it wasn't bloat from food.

Is it the baby?

Posted Friday, May 15, 2009 3:28 PM

I *may* have just felt the baby move for the first time. I was talking with my coworker about baby stuff and felt this weird sensation located about halfway between my belly button and hipbone (cross ways)and a few inches below my belly button (vertical).

I feel like I was attacked

Posted Friday, May 15, 2009 12:58 PM

I feel like I just got attacked by two of my coworkers, the two I'm the closest to. I mentioned that I heard on the news they are trying to change laws so you can't get credit cards until you're 21, which I think is dumb because you are a legal adult

DH: You forgot to get the teryaki sauce last night. You forget everything now! What's wrong with you? Me: I'm pregnant. After that, I proceeded to explain that he should see me at work, I am way worse there where I have to keep up with so many details.

No TV, a cleaning dervish, MIL's plans

Posted Thursday, May 14, 2009 11:01 AM

Today is going to be so busy. In an hour or so, I’m going to drive my car next door to get the oil changed – I usually take it to place SM (but don’t like to b/c they sometimes try to rip ppl off) but didn’t have time to drop it off this morning and didn’t

Good Book

Posted Wednesday, May 13, 2009 8:48 AM

So I haven't gotten anything done the past few days because I've been reading a book - one I found when we were cleaning out my Mawmaw's house last spring. I didn't really know what it was about, but it seemed to have some good lines when I skimmed through

Real quick

Posted Tuesday, May 12, 2009 3:29 PM

I'm actually busy at work today - Yay! But I couldn't go without a quick post. My coworker and I were talking at lunch about her epidural and the hospital's fetal monitoring use, and she grossed and freaked me out. I really want to do as much as possible

Crib, check

Posted Monday, May 11, 2009 3:01 PM

Well, we ended up not waiting on the crib. I was in a meeting all morning, but DH did some research online and thinks they are not making the crib anymore (probably replacing it with a new model). He thinks I was finding an old page from Walmart, so he

Changing table, check

Posted Monday, May 11, 2009 9:39 AM

It was a very busy and tiring, but good, weekend. It started off when I got home Friday after work. I needed to finish the laundry, do all the dishes, and get us and the dogs packed. Well, DH was washing, waxing, and detailing his truck when I got home.

Gah!

Posted Thursday, May 07, 2009 2:39 PM

I just double checked my crib online, and it's not listed anymore at Walmart (which was the cheapest place to order it from)! it's still on some other sites (as is our changing table), but for how long? I texted and called DH to let him know and tell

Aww . . . they do love me

Posted Thursday, May 07, 2009 11:55 AM

Yesterday I got a Mother’s Day card for “Mommy-to-be” in the mail from DH’s parents. When I showed him, he got mad because he was going to surprise me with one. I told him it was nice to know he had thought about that because he hasn’t been showing much

Crazy Bananas!

Posted Tuesday, May 05, 2009 4:23 PM

So where to start? I guess with my husband's head wound. Yes, head wound. Yesterday I get a call that he's cut his head and is bleeding all over the place and doesn't know if he should go to the doctor (who is 1 mile away!). I told him GO, but he got

Plant shopping, crafts, hormones, and a shock! - Weekend recap (long)

Posted Monday, May 04, 2009 9:24 AM

First off, I am feeling pretty good right now. I got up at 6am and went for a walk/run (2 miles total). That was nice (of course, I wanted to go back to bed around the time I needed to get ready for work). We started moving the furniture and stuff in

Future War Zone

Posted Friday, May 01, 2009 11:40 AM

We just got word that they are starting the renovations on our house in two weeks. This is a good thing, until I started counting up all the things this will mean: kenneling the cat while we're on vacation so the workers don't let her out of the house,
