Today's Appt.

Went to the doctor today. When we got there (Mom, me, and DAH) she had just been called to go deliver a baby. Well, that was going to suck. But, the receptionist told me the nurse would still see me. So I get called back, step on the horrid scale, pee in a cup, and wait patiently. Low and behold, here comes the doc!!! She had already delivered the baby and came back!! 30 minutes tops! It was insane! But anyway, all is good. I have only gained 8 pounds which is awesome. I'm pretty proud of that assuming I haven't done anything to prevent weight gain, at all! Blood pressure is still perfect. It has always been around 120/80. Yiipppeee!!

So the past few days I have been very nervous about the baby. Like feeling nothing is happening. So I was very scared. Especially since I haven't been able to hear the heartbeat with my doppler. Well, Fletcher told me not to be worried at all and she would get Shelly. Well, Shelly is the nurse who found it right off at my 10 week apt. Sure enough, ding ding, she got it!! I was soooo relieved I wanted to cry. It was 150bpm. Andrea believes that is "boy" range. Haha. The nurse then proceeded to write "baby" on my tummy where it was so that mom and I could find it at home with my doppler. And we did, right off!! Yippppeeee!

The best news is the BIG ultrasound is scheduled for December 21st!! They wanted to make it after Xmas and I said no way, so the best they could do was the Friday before, fair enough!! It is at 10am and I have to have a full bladder. I will have to start drinking early, haha!

Okay, now you're all caught up! :)

Thought I'd share some belly pictures. Time to start taking a lot more! Things are GROWING! haha

6 weeks and almost 15 weeks

Need a Good Rant

So, in my backyard is a huge 27' foot swimming pool. My DAH HAD to have this pool last July. It was doomed from the beginning. It rained for 3 weeks, prolonging the installation big time. Then my backyard was completely ruined. He "promised" to fix it and work on it and blah blah blah. We didn't even have a ladder all summer. We had to use a lawn chair to get in the pool! WTF, 4 months later, it is still a WRECK. And WHERE is DAH?! Oh that's right, living with his girlfriend. So what did my parents and I get stuck with today? Closing down his damn pool!! I am soooo pissed off at him. I didn't really care to have the pool in the first place, now my backyard is ruined, I am out money for closing down this pool, and not to mention making my parents work extra hard for his damn mistakes. UGH! Sorry, I am just sooo pissed off.

Thanks for listening!

Just an Update...

I ate SIX bowls of Olive Garden Salad. HAHA!! Oh man, it was sooooo good!! Our waiter was a little on the feminine side, but he took care of the pregnant woman! I had fresh salad at all times with extra dressing and lemons! It was great!

Mom and I went maternity shopping yesterday. Things are starting to fit a little better. Pants are still a little bit big, but I'm sure I'll fill them in soon, haha. I used my bday money and then some. But it was great! Three shirts and a pair of khakis. And then going back today for a pair of chocolate khakis. YEAAAHH for clothes that fit!!

Okay, off to work... sinc eI have to be there in about 15 minutes, haha. Oops.

My Birthday Weekend

Hi there! Last Friday was my birthday and it was a great time!! My kids were so nice to be on Friday, haha. I was also in a good mood, so it probably made them feel good as well. I got lots of nice presents from teachers, students, friends, and family! :)

Then Friday night I spent the evening at Rhonda's house. She had FIESTA party. Not just for me, but I would like to think that! :) Haha

Then Saturday I got off my booty and cleaned the scrapbook room. I hadn't touched that room since all the drama occurred. I even scrapped a little in my preggo book. It was great. Then Sat. night then Rhonda and her family took me to eat Chinese (YUM-O) and then out to see Martian Child. It was a very touching movie.

Now, I am CRAAAAAVVIINNNNG Olive Garden salad and have NO one to go with! It's killing me. Mom and dad were SUPPOSED to get home early enough to have dinner with me. Well, at 5:45 they just left the lake. ARGH!

Hmm... maybe Olive Garden to go? HAHAHA

Quick Post

Hi there! I'm still alive and around! For the past few days I am just trying to survive morning sickness, which is really late night sickness. I have also started feeling oohhh sooo very sleepy by 7pm! It really puts a damper on my evenings!
For those of you with myspace, I created one. I figured it was a great way to re-connect with old friends.
So, I want to share my space with all of you!
