Will I ever get a full weeks of work in??

Well, this week has been a trying one! Yesterday all day, I was feeling quite sick. Very nauseous but I was at work, thinking that I'm going to have to get my prescription for diclectin filled because this day was just terrible. It progressively got worse, so I went to my boss and asked if I could go home at 2:30, and she said of course. I got home and threw up. Then I found my prescription and went to the pharmacy and got it filled. Then I got home just in time to throw up again! From there on out, it was bad. I knew this was more than being pregnant. I called Dave and asked if he could leave work early and get Caleb, and he did. I was throwing up so much, nothing would stay down. I think the last time I threw up was 2:30am this morning. Then I stayed home today to just rest. My body is sore all over. Dave worked from home today to look out for me, which was nice, because I felt so weak. But I'm feeling so much better now. Except I could use a new body!

Ahhh, so with last weeks awful cold to this weeks illness, I'm done with being sick. I'm praying for sunshine and daisies from here on out!

I'm looking so forward to Lost starting tomorrow night. Although, I don't know if I'll be able to stay awake for the whole show. Tonight they are showing the season finale from last season so I'll have to catch that to remind myself what happened! But I'm really looking forward to that.

Today we got the fridge we ordered for the basement. It's a tight fit, but I think it looks great. Just what we were hoping for.

Well I think I'll go and rest for a bit. Caleb is enjoying an episode of Einstein while Dave is out getting his hair cut. Caleb is almost walking. He's taking 4-5 steps in a row, but only when he feels like it. He does a lot of standing up too. It won't be long before he's going to have us chase him! Look OUT!!

It's been a Very Long Time!

Well, it's been a very long time since I have updated this thing. Mostly because my life has been a whirlwind. I guess the biggest news I have to share, I'll do first as this is the main reason why my life is insane. I'm having another baby. July 7th is when we expect this little one to arrive. I have to admit, this has been an emotional ride for me, as I don't feel quite emotionally prepared to deal with this. But I'm getting used to the idea. We found out in October, and from there on out, I feel like I've been in the valley as far as life goes. I've been sick which isn't unusual, but paired with that has been pelvic pain and stress. I even had a visit to the hospital one night as my pain was quite bad. But it all ended up being pulled muscles. I had an early physical so I could be referred to my OB sooner than later, and because of that, I wasn't able to hear a heartbeat until yesterday. 16 1/2 weeks without hearing that heartbeat played games with my mind. But at my appointment yesterday, all worries were put to rest I got to hear that little heartbeat. I've been very emotional this time too. I was terrified to tell my boss, as soon as I went in her office to let her know, I started to cry. I'm such a people pleaser, that I feel like I've let her down. But she laughed at me for feeling that way, and of course she's thrilled for me.

So with that underlying everything, I have endured an emotional Christmas with Caleb and his hand, New Years with Dave and his flu that made him pass out, my baby news leaking out before I wanted it to (with Dave's family), and now I've been suffering with a pretty bad cold. I'm tired. Ahhh. But I feel excited, now that I know that things are good in the baby department. And I've told my ob that I don't want to have another 11 pounder!! ha ha ha.

I got out for a girls night last Sunday, and we went to see 27 Dresses. It was so cute. Plus a night out like that was much needed. I think the only joy I've had this winter is getting out on my brother's skidoo for a ride. I'm hoping that maybe tomorrow I can do that again! I have been really neglectful when it comes to posting pictures too. I will post the picture we took of Caleb announcing our news that we gave to our parents.

Caleb has been loving his baby-sitter. Monday was the first day that when I took him from Christa's arms, he cried. You can't imagine how sad I felt. But I quickly realized that this was bound to happen. Dave tells me how he squeals with excitment when he drops him off in the morning, so I knew it was coming! He's almost walking, he takes only one hand and walks with us, and he loves that. He plays peek a boo with his ears instead of his eyes, which makes us laugh and he chatters away in some kind of baby language, he wants to talk so much! We're having fun with him.

I think that's about it. Well I'm sure there is lots more that I have forgotten. But oh well!

2008

What can I say? So far 2008 has sucked! Last week was a toughy for me. I feel like life is throwing me lots of depressing challenges and I'm just scraping by. Dave got really sick with the flu. He even passed out and hit his head, I was totally freaking out, crying! So I stayed home last wednesday to take care of him. I took Caleb to the sitters, mainly to get him out of the germs. Thursday I got up extra early (which is always a killer for me) and took Caleb to the sitters and headed to work. I then had to leave at 11:30am to pick Caleb up and take him to O'ville for his doctor's appt. WHen I got him, Christa told me that he was running a fever. GREAT! That was all I needed! While the doctor was happy with the progress on his hand, he was letting me down with the "maybe in 2 days you'll see Caleb become sick, knowing what his dad is currently going through" That was all I needed, more sickness to look forward to. Friday again, another early start to get Caleb to the sitters then to work. But Friday was my half day, so that was good. Dave was on the mend by that time, and Caleb's fever was on and off all day. I blame it all on his teeth. The last couple of nights have been terrible, up and down with Caleb all night.

So far, today has been a good start to this week. Lets hope things keep getting on the brighter side of things! Dave sent me some flowers at work thanking me for looking after him, which was really sweet. But my silly co-worker, decided to ask me in a very loud voice "why is he sending you these, did you have sex with him or something???" Man, if getting the flowers to begin with was embarassing enough! ha ha ha, but pay back is in the works....I plan on buying her some flowers with a card attached saying "thanks for the hot steamy night last night" and have them delivered to her!

Anyway, when I'm more in the mood I'll have to post some pictures of Christmas and etc. But I'm just so tired. The bed is calling my name!
