Wow It's windy out

Dave and I were downstairs in the basement watching Posieden, and when I came up here it's sooooo windy I was shocked.

This has been a week full of events. I'm so tired really. The exciting things I did this week included a dinner at the new Mandarin in Kitchener on Wednesday with the girls from work. Then on Thursday, I was asked last minute if I would be interested in going to a Customer Appreciation Night put on by ESI for work. I said sure, but after saying yes I doubted myself in going because I've been so tired lately. But I went. We had to leave work early on that day and we went to Toronto for a dinner at a Restuarant called Bumpkins. It was really yummy food. Then we were treated to The Blue Man show. This show was a blast! I have never seen or been to anything like it. I wish I could describe it to you but, there are too many words to use and my fingers won't type that many tonight! I loved every minute of it. This too made for a very late night, I didn't get home until midnight or shortly after. Friday was my half day, so I went to bed when I got home and slept for a couple of hours. Last night Dave and I went to the mall with Steve and Christa and we had dinner at the food court, how special is that eh?!

Today I went to the farm along with Fern and Joy, picking up Sally along the way. My mom threw a baby shower for me. It was so nice. The girls from my mom's whole side came and 3 of my aunts from my Dad's side came. I got some really great gifts, I was very overwhelmed and Deb! You surprised me. I can't thank you enough for sending that package along. I loved every bit of it. That white sleeper with the sheep on it is absolutely adorable. And I love the Sheep in the Jeep book! Everything sheepy! IT was sooooo wonderful. Thank you so much! If you were here I would give you a big hug!

I was very overwhelmed by the things I received. We were blessed with some adorable outfits, Fern got us a cute "My first Christmas" outfit. One of my cousins, who is also a new mom, gave us a bag of what she called the "essentials" with bathing stuff, face clothes, bum cream, soothers, lots of things. We even got a highchair from my aunt Cathy and cousins Jodi and Becky. Denise supplied us with a monitor and Sally with a play mat! It was great. It's exciting really. Now I just need to wash these new things and organize the dresser.

Tomorrow Dave and I may go to Babies R Us and use the gift certificates we received to get maybe the bath tub and Bundle Me carseat cover. Then I'm going over to Joy's for a Mary Kay spa treatment! Woohoo!

Anyway, I know the clocks turn back tonight, but I'm feeling so drowsy, I want to go to bed now! I'll probably sit in a bath for a bit, since my hips are already aching and I haven't even been in bed yet! Maybe I'll read myself to sleep tonight instead of cry myself to sleep! I'm so far behind in reading my book for Sunday School. I should really work on that!

I'm Ready

Well not really, but this has been kind of an eventful weekend. Right now I just finished wrapping up the Christmas gifts I have bought so far. On top of that, Krista's birthday present and Sharlene's shower present. I still have the small things to think about, like any group gift I need to buy for, plus I still have my Mom and Dave to worry about too. Dave can worry about his family. But hopefully next weekend we'll get more done! So when ever this baby decides to come into this world, atleast we've got a good head start!

Friday night Dave and I met Jay for dinner at Red Lobster. Dave and I were there first, and while waiting I was reading the menu. I'm not a fan of fish to begin with, so I told Dave that I think I was going to order the chicken. He laughed at me and said I couldn't do that in Red Lobster! So I ventured to the next safe thing, bbq'd shrimp. It was really good, I enjoyed them. Dave and Jay had good meals too. Well, about 4 hours after my meal......Dave and I were sitting watching tv, when it hit me. I said "Oh oh, my dinner is not staying." It was seconds, I knew it was going to happen, I had just enough time to get a bag and make it into the bathroom, and out it all came. It was awful, shrimp coming back up is not good! I then had cold sweats for an hour or 2 after, I just went to bed. Then Dave at 12:30am fed me some gingerale and soda crackers, and come 7:30am I woke up totally fine. I'm telling ya, this whole pregnancy has thrown my body all wacky. I have never thrown up as much as I have over these past 33wks! I have never felt so run down as I have. It's crazy!

Saturday I went to Newmarket with my Mom. Then came back home, to find that Dave finished assembling the dresser for the baby's room. It's in order now, I just have to wash all the clothes that we have collected so far and put them away, and hang new blinds. I will definately show you pictures, but right now it still looks like a mess, so I'll wait for some more organizing!

Anyway today we went to church. Then we had Steve and Christa over for lunch. After lunch we went to East Side Mario's for dessert. Mmmm I had a funnel cake! Then I had a nice big afternoon nap. Now I'm here.

Shopping Success

Well this past weekend was a success. We left Friday night for St. Catharines, and our hotel was amazing. The manager upgraded our suite so we each had our own queen bed and there was 4 of us in the room! It was awesome! Then Saturday was the full and very long day. We shopped at the Pen Centre, and I got the majority of my Christmas shopping done. I think all I have left to get is my Mom's and Dave's gift. Dave can worry about his family! After shopping we headed back to Waterloo where we had dinner at Kelsey's, then we all went to see The Gaurdian with Kevin Costner, it was a very good movie. I got home at 10pm and when I found Dave's arms I just curled up in them and cried. Silly I know. I had a great time away, but I was so tired. And I missed him terribly. (I forgot to say that I hadn't seen Dave since Thurs. morning because he and Steve went to Ottawa Thurs. for a hockey game and spent the night and we missed eachother on Friday.)

Sunday I was still a wreck, so tired. We went to Sunday School and then I had to be on nursery duty, thank goodness there was only 3 kids to look after, or else I think I would have died. Then Dave took me out for ice cream after lunch. When we got back I had a big nap. Sunday night Dave's friend Joe and his wife came over for a visit. Then I went to bed once they left.

Today I had another Dr.'s appt. Everything is going well, I lost a pound over the past 2 wks, but that's because I was so sick last week. I still expanded 3cms. Only this time the Dr. told me that the heart rate sounded like a boy this time! hahaha, he'll have me guessing until the end. He told me not to worry, that I'll be the second to know what it is!

Tonight Dave and I went to Stratford to visit Sharlene and Jason and met Kayley. What a precious tiny thing. She is so small. So adorable. It made me excited to meet my little one. Kayley is doing so well, she was off the feeding tubes and monitors as of Sunday and today the doctors told them that tomorrow may be the day they release her, so that is so exciting!

Well it's really past my bed time and I'm so ready to get there. yawns.....

Day 2

Well I feel much much better today. I woke up feeling pretty weak in the tummy, and I was had a cold sweat, so I decided to stay home again. I slept for the whole morning, then I attempted making myself some soup. The power went off! So no soup, I ate more crackers. The power was off for a good 3 hours, in that time I read some things on labour, and I assembled the baby rocker we got. Right now I feel 100% better. I'm starving, so Dave is going to bring me something to eat. But I'm glad I had this restful day to get all better.

I'm just glad it was a bug and not just being sick because I'm pregnant. I've heard many women tell me that in their last stretch of pregnancy they got sick again, and I don't want to go through that again.

Ahhhh I can't believe this...

I am sick, not because I'm pregnant, because I've caught a bug or the flu. This has been the most unpleasant day ever. Last night I was sick through the whole night, I lost my whole turkey dinner. Then when I got up this morning I went to work. I was there for 2 hours. I had to run to the bathroom and I didn't quite make it to the toilet before I spewed everywhere. Then in a frantic tizzy I quickly cleaned up after myself praying real hard that no one walks in. I even got it in my hair. So I then was there for a good 15 mins. cleaning, then I ran home. Only to make it in time to throw up the rest of my breakfast. I was crying like crazy. It's truly aweful being sick and alone. I called Dave and he offered to come home, but I couldn't let him do that. Then I called my mom and she wasn't home, so I started to cry even more, I felt bad because I left a sobbing message on their machine.

I pulled myself together and called the Dr's office. He later called me back and told me there isn't anything I can really do, just to ride it out. He said there is a bug going around and he's not concerned that it's anything but that--a bug. He again said that my blood sugar test was very normal and that I have no risk of the Gestational Diabetes which can cause vomitting. So I have been in bed all day. Dave did come home a bit early with gingerale, and so far I haven't thrown up since 11:30 this morning. I still feel like crap, and I've only eaten a bowl of hot cereal and 5 crackers all day. But they've stayed down.

Anyway I just pray that I feel better soon, because I don't have any more sick days from work, and I have to go away this weekend with the ladies from church.

It's Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving. We have had such a wonderful weekend. The weather has be so wonderful, I love Fall when it's nice out like that. Yesterday Dave and I spent the whole day out at my parents. All of us "kids" went out for a nice long walk out into the back fields through the hardwood bush. We got some nice pictures. We had a big turkey dinner polished off with pumpkin pie. We also celebrated my Dad and my brother's birthday's. Today is Steve's and tomorrow is my Dad's.

Today we're going over to Fern and Mert's for another dinner. I'm going to be so full! My dad was teasing me about how "full" I looked yesterday! hahahaha.

I think I'm at the fun part of the baby moving. I get little limbs that stick out and when it moves, my whole belly moves. Dave thinks it feels like tremors! hahaha. The unfortunate thing is I'm experiencing the first 3 months of nausea again :( Over the past few days I've been really ill. I'm back to taking my medicine regularly. Last night I couldn't sleep I was so uncomfortable so I tried out the couch, and I wasn't there long before I had to run to the toilet to hurl. Lovely I know!

Anyway my Davey wants me to get ready and leave right now! So I'll maybe write more later :)
Have lots of turkey :)

A Foot

I guess going through this experience brings many firsts. Sunday afternoon was the first time I actually saw a bump appear on my belly, I touched it and it was small and hard and then it moved slowly down. I swear it was my babe's foot. I hollered for Dave to come, because it happened again, but then he still missed it.

Dave's cousin Sharlene had her baby today! I can't believe it. It came 6 weeks early, a little girl. They named her Kayley (not sure how they are spelling it) She's doing well, on a ventilator but, doing great. I just can't believe it still! I'm so happy for them. It makes me think of how much longer I have to go now.

Ok, I really have nothing else to say at this moment. Besides that I'm tired. Hmm.

Sighs

I truly feel like an old lady. I'm very uncomfortable and yes my hormones are all wacky. This belly gets in the way, it takes me a definate 3 motions to move from one side to the other in bed, and when I get there, my hips ache and sometimes my leg muscles cramp. Yes, the joys of being pregnant. I'm over tired, I'm dealing with heart burn and vomit, and I break out in sweats. I just want to cry.

Even though I feel like this, I already love this baby. I spend lots of time worrying about it. I worry if I don't feel it move sometimes, ahhh worry.

As you may see I'm tired as I write this. I'm emotional. There are days where I'm freaked out. I get the classic "I'm not ready for this responsibility" I get discouraged when I think that it won't be just me and Dave anymore, that can be tough. But then there are moments. Like on Sunday, Mason left his Mom and came up and snuggled his head into my shoulder & neck, and I only thought of nice that was, and how I can't wait to have that all the time. Or tonight when the little ones come and eagerly want to sit with me.

I forgot to mention the clumbsy me. I've always had a clumbsy streak, and so far it hasn't been bad. But tonight I knocked a whole jar of glitter on the floor at church. This nice man cleaned it up for me. He had glitter all over his hands when he was done, but gee it was so kind of him.

I need sleep.

oh, our baby room is painted, and there's a crib and dresser on the way.

Can you smell it?

This evening Dave and I went out with Steve, Christa, Shannon, Kris and Mason, we first watched the guys each hit a bucket of golf balls at the driving range then we went for a stroll at the Floridale Dam. And I could smell it. Fall is in the air. The leaves are showing signs of them changing, and it's not even 8:30pm and it's totally dark out. I like this time of year. Today was beautiful out.

Dave and I became members today in church. We had to get up in front of the whole congregation and read a covenant and then shook the hands of the combined council. We've gone through the interview months ago, but today was the congregational induction I guess you would call it. It is fullfilling really, to be officially apart of this church family. It has taken time, but I totally feel at home in this church, I've met and made some wonderful friends. I also started to attend Adult Sunday School and the women have a seperate class and we're using the book How to be a Mary in a Martha World. It sounds really neat, and something I'll need for the future. Learn how to stop and reflect and find peace in moments.

This week was also a busy week with activities at Church. Tuesday night Adventure Club started, and that was fun. And Wednesday night our small group started up again. Because there are so many of us in the church that are either starting a family or already have a young one we are studying Sheparding a Child's Heart. This is really cool too. It will teach us to look past the outward actions of our children and look at their heart. That's probably not the best way to say it, but it was only the introduction night!

My parents were down on Thursday. They went to the market for the day and then hung out at my place until I got home. I fed them some supper and then we headed to Kitchener for Babies R Us. My parents wanted to buy us a Pack n' Play. Although the one we wanted there, were all sold out, we ended up finding one in Sears that I really liked. We also went to Motherhood, and my mom helped me shop for desperately needed clothes, while my Dad wandered around the different stores that were down there. It was so nice to have them for the evening. We got back home and then they headed home themselves.

The oddest thing happened on Friday, Steve, Christa, Dave and I went to McDonald's for dinner and Amy walked in! It was so shocking to see her, I almost didn't believe it!

Yesterday Dave was in a baseball tournament. I stayed at home, I was very frustrated as I tried to be successful at ordering some Leaf tickets for my brothers and had no luck. Even though I was on ready for 11am when the went on sale!! Then in the afternoon I ventured to paint, and I painted half the nursery! I'll leave the other half for Dave.

Well that is that week in a huge nutshell!

One thing off the list

Tonight Dave and I finally got the stroller/carseat that we needed. We were lucky too because I liked the one that was in Sears, but then clued in that the exact same stroller despite the colours were sold in Babies R Us and this week there was a major sale. So we got it with $60 off! I even like the colour of it.

This weekend was a nice one. Saturday I spent in Orangeville watching my brother in his baseball tournament. His team ended up winning the whole thing, so that was good for them. That night I met Deb and we went to Kelsey's for dinner. Then we went back to her parents place and just talked, it was so nice! I miss our girl chats! Deb.....I won't ever forget your Depends line! That is hilarious!!

Sunday I went to church and it was a great service. It was kick off Sunday and boy it was a exciting service. Afterwards I met Dave in Waterloo along with his work baseball team and had lunch with them. He was in a baseball tournament all weekend. After that we just relaxed for the rest of the day.

Work was a crazy one today. Why is it that Monday's always puts people in a grouchy mood? I had to deal with 2 angry men on the phone. Ahhhh, but I feel I successfully managed both phone calls well and that they ended their days feeling satisfied with my help. Well I hope that is the outcome anyway! Now I'm winding down and feeling very very tired. I'm thinking that I will crawl into bed.

And to that Goodnight.......

A Bug

I've been sick over the past 24 hours. Not sure what is up. But it started yesterday afternoon and then got worse in the evening where I threw up a couple of times. I slept alright, and this morning was sick again which is typical. While at work I started to get that "oh oh I might be sick again" feeling so I'm home now. I didn't want to risk the chance of hurling at work. I slept for a good 3 hours so far, and right now I'm feeling not so bad. The baby is moving quite happily, but when I was at work and it was doing it's dance it made me feel worse! I've got an appt. this Friday with my doctor, I'm really looking forward to it. Now I'm excited to see the doctor, where as before pregnancy, there was no reason to be excited. But now I get to see growth and hear the heartbeat and just get calm nerves when talking with him.

This weekend was great. The weather was miserable, but I had a good time. Friday night Dave and I registered at Babies R Us. It was overwhelming, but fun. I have to go back and register for the small stuff. At the time I didn't think I had to, but then Sally and Christa told me that if I didn't then people would look up the registry, not see those little things and just assume we have them already. So I'm kind of looking forward to going back.

Saturday I spent the day at my parents. Steve, Sally and the girls were out for the day too. We all went up to Ann's place to see Norma. There was a big horse show going on in which she was helping out with, so she toured us around the place for a bit. Then we headed back for lunch and later in the afternoon I went with Krista back up (Krista loves Norm) and she introduced us to all the horses and we fed them and hung out in the barn. It was so much fun.

Sunday Dave and I went to church and then we had Steve and Christa over for lunch. Then they came with us to the O'ville fair. It was fun. I saw Pastor Mark and Kimberly there and Fern! We stayed for a bit in the afternoon and when it poored we went into Walmart and Future Shop and wandered around. Then we went to East Side Mario's for dinner. Where yes, I indulged myself with a funnel cake for dessert. Yum Yum! Then we went back to the fair for the derby. It was freezing. My Dad and Benji and Steve met us and we all sat with them. (Where were you sitting Jay?)

And like I said, yesterday I was sick and I'm now here. I'll probably crawl back into bed for the afternoon. But tonight we're having Mike and Joy over for dinner. Hopefully I'll be fine by then.

With school back in, means all programs at church will be full swing. Adventure club starts next week, and I have to go to a meeting for that tomorrow, plus Christa and I were succesful at organizing and advertising the ladies shopping trip. It's gonna be a busy month!

Peaceful

There's something about the whole atmosphere at Scott's cottage. Once I got there I automatically felt at rest. Friday night we didn't do much. There was only 3 of us, Dave, Jay and myself. We just visited, played a little of outburst, and then went to bed. Scott and Gill didn't arrive until 12:30-1:00am so I didn't see them until the next morning. It was so lovely. Yvnonne arrived around 3:30 and that night we played games and talked. Sunday morning Scott seriously signed Yvonne and I up for door greeting at the church. We weren't sure if we needed to doubt or believe him, but sure enough we got there, and on the bulletin board was our names! We happily did that together, greeting complete strangers into their church that we don't attend! hahaha It was fun. There was swimming and boat riding, and some did the water skiing. I was so tempted for the tube, and had Dave blown it up, I probably would have justified myself into it. But I was a good girl, or so my Mom would tell me. She was nervous that I would do something like that!

Now it's Monday. Work was busy, I'm taking phones all day for this whole week. Plus my mind is jumping with all the things that I need to accomplish. Tonight I'm hoping to meet with Christa to plan this women's shopping trip for October. I have to make up invitations for the local girls to come to my place for a Signature Homestyles party that my Aunt wants me to host as she's becoming a new rep. That's the end of September. Then my Mom who is so excited about Baby, is hoping to plan for a baby shower with family members in October, which means Dave and I need to be on the ball and start making a list of things we need for this little one. Let alone think about the nursery! There's so much happening. All this makes me so tired!

Ahhh I'm gonna go and relax before I leave!

One More Day

Oh the weekend is almost here. I'm looking forward to a relaxing time away at Scott's cottage. I'm really looking forward to naps and boat rides! I have been so tired lately and I'm in need of some sort of thrill and since tubing is out, Scott better give me a good boat ride! This week has gone by really well that. Work is picking up for me as our department has a huge project that we just started into and I'll be busy working on that until I leave. I saw Lesya last Friday. That was great. She flies back to BC tomorrow. But it was great seeing her. We took a nice long stroll down her side road and then like two little girls we walked along a little creek in our shoes and stood in it laughing and talking. It was so nice. Then I was welcomed for dinner with the whole family. That was hilarious! Mr. Moore told me that I could possibly at present have both male and female parts. I love how things fascinate them!

Dave and I fostered another kitten over night, that's 2 in the past 2 weeks. Two of my friends wanted kittens for their families, so two little girls got adopted from the farm. What a better life for them! It was fun to have a kitten for a night or two. It really ticked off Hockley and Sunshine though! hehehe

Church league baseball is over for the season now. So our Thursday nights are free for a short while. Not for long I assume! With fall comes Small group and Adventure Club and for Dave more meetings and probably volleyball.

Next weekend is the O'ville fall fair. I probably will be there for it atleast one of the days. Norma is going to be in O'ville all weekend, so we're making plans to see eachother. Then if it all works out, I'll get to see the demolition derby and eat a funnel cake. Mmmmm funnel cakes! They better have them, if not I'm going to East Side Mario's 'cause I really want one!

wow Where did Summer go?

I'm having a difficult time with this date. Where has summer gone?
This is the baby quilt that we're going with. I love it, isn't it cute? Barnyard animals! Totally suitable I thought! Now the challenge is what colour to paint. I'm sure we'll coming up with some ideas.

Bright Red and Shiney

Yes, our new family vehicle arrived home yesterday. Dave traded in his truck and upgraded to a Dodge Ram Megacab. It's a lovely red colour which I adore, but it's a monster truck! It's huge. I love it. When Baby arrives, I'll need a step ladder to get up there with it! hahaha. We spent months discussing which vehicle to upgrade, and because my car is already baby compatible, we figured the truck was what needed to go. Also my car will have a longer life I think rather than what his truck would have had. I'll be the driver because of the whole save on gas issue, but this won't happen until Dave is comfortable driving standard into work.
This week at work has been difficult. Not because of the amount of work there is, but after spending a relaxing week of naps and early nights, my body got used to that amount of rest and is now protesting against not getting it. My eyes are so heavy at present. But I carry on.
Other exciting news this week is Christa and Steve finally made it public knowledge that they too are expecting. We've known for some time now, but were asked to keep it on the down low until she had her first doctor appointment. She's due March 3. It's so neat because our children will only be 3 months apart. It is always exciting talking baby talk. Even the guys get into it sometimes too.
If I get on the ball, I'll try and post some pictures of the new beast and then some! I feel like I have accomplished nothing lately and there's sooo much on my plate that needs to be organized! What will I ever do?

Week of Peace and Reflection and Food!

We arrived home last night after a full day of driving. I had a great week. It started last Thursday night when we departed Elmira around 11pm. Steve and Christa were driving Dave and I with their truck and utility trailer. Kris and Shannon had rented a mini van and Sharlene and Jason had rented a SUV. Dave and I lasted as far as Barrie when I bailed on their ride and joined Kris and Shannon. We had a very safe drive up and arrived in Agawa Bay roughly around 10:30am. Between the 9 of us we had 2 camp sites. Steve and Christa was on ours. Friday we napped and had a good supper.

Now with camping comes lots of food. Christa and I were terrible as we totally stoocked up on all the junk you could possibly imagine. Chocolate bars, candy, chips, cookies. It was great! I'm totally afraid to step on the scale to see the damage of this past week, as yes the wieght has begun to be put on. As much as 18lbs so far. I am 23 wks along now, in a few more days I'll be 6mths.

Anyway, we had great weather. On Sunday I think I over did myself with a hike and then a long swim, as Monday I was pretty sick. I lost both breakfast and lunch and that is still with taking my medicine! I rested a great deal that day. Then of course after feeling heaps better a sinus cold settled in for the rest of my time there. But despite that all, I enjoyed every second there.

I can't describe how beautiful it is there. The water alone blows me away. I can swim out as far as my arms would take me and still see the bottom, yet it was so very deep. The sunsets are always pretty too.

Spending the week with these friends was awesome too. You do so much bonding and laughing, it's hard to leave. Dave, Shannon and Sharlene are all cousins, but it was like camping with your family it was so fun. Their Aunt and Uncle Lorraine and Maynard was also there this week, in their luxery trailer at the other end of the park, we had lots of fun. Dave was able to do some hiking with Maynard, as I the pregnant one was incapable of keeping up with him. The first hike I did that Sunday was a very short one, along the rocks of the water to see indian pictographs and the steps back up to the parking lot killed me. I was so sad with myself wondering how on earth I let myself get this way. But I was reassured when I was told being pregnant can tire you out more than normal.

The week had some great laughs and memorable times. I think my favourite times was just being with everyone at the camp fires or at the water. I also enjoyed the trip home. I was totally dreading the drive home. But we had a great time. The four of us talked a lot, which made the time go faster. We stopped in Sudbury for awhile and found an East Side Mario's for lunch.

Oh and the cool thing too, was just before heading into Parry Sound, a big black bear ran across the road in front of us. It was so awesome! Dave also had an accident with a pop and candy that made me cry I was laughing so hard.

I'm sad the week is over. Today we will spend it cleaning up our stuff. Then we are going out to test drive some trucks, woohoo! I love doing that. We'll also buy something more for Baby, if not the bedding for the room, perhaps the stroller/car seat.

This week

Well this week has gone fast. Every Monday of my full week at work, I tell mysel that it's going to be the longest week ever. Yet I'm here and it's Friday already. That means I only have 4 days of work left until my week away. Out of those 4 days, Monday I have to leave the office for my first OBGYN visit, and Thursday is our Employee Appreciation Day where we only have to work the morning, then we get the afternoon off to hang out at a golf course.
Anyway, to start the week off, our stupid Fire Alarm starting beeping at us, we figured we just needed to replace the battery, but at 1:30 in the morning, to discover we need a 9volt battery sucks! Who made that?! So I bought some batteries the next day and tried to replace it, and it didn't work, it just kept beeping. So Dave turned the breaker off for the darn thing. His parents were over on the Monday night too to put up our new microwave. It's an "above the stove" one. It looks cool. Now we have more counter space.
The next thing exciting that happened was early Thursday morning at around 3:30am. I was startled by the noise so I got up, and here is my Dave laying there killing himself laughing. Laughing like I've never heard him before. It was a combination of giggles and outloud laughing following by deep breaths. I watched for a short while before I rubbed his arm and asked "Dave are you sleeping?" He kind of slowly came too and I asked "What's so funny?" and with his eyes still closed and laughing he blurts out "he crapped his pants, ah hahahaha". So now I'm laughing a bit and asked "what? who did?" and Dave in his laughter says "Mike, we were in the get away car and he filled his pants he was so scared" After he said that he really came too and stopped the laughing. It was the funniest thing ever! In the morning I asked him if he remembered what happened, and he remembered his dream, but he doesn't remember the whole laughing out loud stuff. He doesn't believe me when I tell him what I heard!
I haven't heard from my doctor about my last ultrasound. I called on Wednesday and the report wasn't in my file yet. So the receptionist told me to try today and see if it's there. Plus my doctor is on holiday for 2 weeks, so if the report isn't there today, they told me they would get another doctor to take a look for me. But I still feel baby moving, so that's good.

anxiousness

I'm anxious this evening. My ultrasound didn't go too well. Baby was sleeping at first, crawled up in a ball. The techinician had a difficult time trying to get the necessary shots the doctor wanted. It was a different lady. And at first she only took me in, and I couldn't see a thing, where as last time Dave came in right with me and was able to watch everything. I think I was in there with her alone for a good 35 mins. She had me get up and go to the bathroom, then lay on my side. She just couldn't get good enough shots. When Dave did come in, he was only in for a few minutes when she said that this time wasn't gonna work and that the doctor will probably call us and have us come again for another. I'm worried.

I know I shouldn't be, and Sally reassured me that things are just fine. Sometimes it's difficult for technicians to get good ultrasounds. So I'm trying to focus on the positive.

Now I'm playing nurse for my husband who is currently suffering with a migraine. He's barfing, and it's not good for me to smell it. YUCK! I may hurl. I think I'm going to find myself a popsicle and watch a bit of tv.

Not myself tonight

I am soooo tired. I didn't sleep very well last night. I made it through today. It went by fast which was amazing. Cheryl, my co-worker, caught me off gaurd with something so funny that I had to get to the bathroom real fast! So that was good.

Then I get home and people are calling about baseball, wondering if it's cancelled, and then finding out it is cancelled, and then calling more people. I fell asleep on the couch for 1/2 an hour. Then Dave was in and out of the house, and I just don't feel like my normal self. Probably because I'm over tired. So to avoid making him bored, I willing let him go and play with Kris tonight. It's funny how he asks me those silly questions.

Tomorrow is my half day and I'm going for another ultrasound. I hope everything is alright. This place last time screwed up my schedule time, then I called today to confirm my appointment for tomorrow and they again screwed telling me that I missed it because it was today! Luckily for them they had a cancellation for tomorrow afternoon! Now I'm just worried that they won't have the requisition that the doctor faxed them! We'll see how it goes!

Can you believe there is only one more full week of July left? Amazing.....

The rains came a tumbling down

It is storming out there right now. It's kind of neat to just sit and watch the lightening and rain down pour.

I was church camping this past weekend in Durham. It was lots of fun. We invited Benji to join us, which he did, and we shared his monster size tent. Kris & Shannon, Sharlene & Jason and Steve & Christa were our neighbours. We shared meals where we each took one meal to prepare. It was very hot, so we spent alot of time in the water. Kris brought some water balloons and it was so funny to watch as he tossed a few at our Pastor. Then the next thing I see is Pastor George walking across the field toward us with this huge mega super soaker. It was the biggest I've ever seen! Behind him came his wife Sue, with 2 smaller guns, one for each hand! It was so funny. The guys had a blast while their wives sat and watched.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 28 years old! Wow eh! Dave is taking me out to the movies and then on Wednesday my parents are coming for a visit.

I hear the pillow calling my name! It wants me to come and rest my head on it.....
