Three day weekend :)

I love three day weekends....of course, all I've done is sleep. I slept off and on all day tomorrow. I felt bad because I was supposed to be helping Hubby in the garage, but I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I did do some laundry and washed the kitchen floor. Today we went to Como Zoo...then came home and napped :) We had leftover fondue for dinner and then took a walk around the neighborhood. We then hauled a ton of stuff out of the basement to put into the garage tomorrow. Up to the attic! We also have to grocery shop and run to Target for a grad card and gift card for the neighbor girl (next door to my parents). We have been invited to their house for dinner, but I don't know....I really don't want to be out all night. I may fall asleep during dinner!
My mom told me today that our hair lady (who is also my mom's best friend from high school) is going to be a grandma in December. Then she said, "And she said you two need to get on the stick and start having kids!" HOLY COW! If only she knew :) I don't know if I can make it a month! My appointment at the OB clinic is June 15th, so we should be good to go anytime after that.
I need a bedtime snack...then off to bed. Then wake up at 7am to pee *eye roll* At least it keeps me from being late for work!

Jan 23, 2006

Hee-hee....that's my EDD, from the doc. herself :) Then I spent an hour tracking down THE wagon for DH, to let him know that the doctor said we are pregnant. 5 weeks, she said. So, now I have to find an OB/GYN and a hospital to give birth at. That will be tomorrow's project, the research part of it. Then Wednesday, I guess I'll start calling around. Try to get an appointment in the early part of June. I hopefully will have an ultrasound and photos before 4th of July, since I think well tell people around then (before the reunion and all). Hubby wants to have a BBQ...we'll see. Morning sickness hasn't set in yet.....give it a week or so :)

The journey is over...?

My period should have come Monday. It didn't. I tested.....3 times, I think. All positives :) Yup, after 6 years of marriage, and almost 3 years of trying, I think we finally got pregnant! I'll call the doctor's tomorrow to set up an appointment and we'll go from there. Hubby is very excited and worried. I think I am just....in shock. I never thought it would happen. We weren't even trying, really. I never once felt fertile this month, and we only did it because it was our anniversary. All I can think of right now is all that we need to do to get ready for a baby.....I get kicked out of my room....all my school stuff, all my music stuff, all my books. The closet is full of Hubby's CDs and music stuff. *sigh* We have to get a confirmation from the doctor first, and then get through the reunion, and then tell the family. It was all I could do Friday night when Simon called me. She was telling me about her friend there who has been trying just as long as we have, and they are 7 weeks pregnant. I wanted to shout "SO ARE WE!!!" (ok, well, like 3 weeks, but still.....). I hope this isn't premature celebrating....I just want this to work. After all these years, it just has to work.

mmmm.....sherbet.....

I really should shut down, get some sherbet, and get ready for bed. But yet, I feel compeled (sp?) to update here for my loyal guest :)
Still haven't heard from my Family Systems instructor. This is not ok!! I also have not gotten any feedback from the last literacy project, but that's to be expected, since she's involved with graduation this week. Hopefully over the weekend. I have done nothing for school this week. But since Hubby and his dad will be installing our BACK door this weekend, I don't see a problem not getting it done. I am almost done with the reading, so that helps.
My sister is done with school tomorrow. She's got one semester left, and will be DONE in December, I think. So, she's gonna move her stuff home, run to the pet store, and then come over. Then we can watch the new release of "Pocahontas" :) Should be good....not sure about Mel Gibson singing, but hopefully Disney will still include the "Theatrical Release" as a choice for future screenings :)
Star Wars: Episode 3 comes out next week. I REALLY want to go, but I think we'll wait a month or so. I can't WAIT!!!! Then I'll have to come home and watch the original trilogy, just for closure.
Ok...time to feed the cats and get some sherbet. We had taco casserole for dinner and I'm still a little too spicy to go to bed :)

Here's where we ate tonight. It says "kids menu, booster seats and high chairs availible" but I can't imagine bringing a child to a place like that!

May update :)

Ok, so I'm really bad at this blogging thing :) I have just been busy and lazy....
I got good feedback on my parent ed. pieces...I THINK I got an A. Maybe a B...at the end of all this positive feedback, it just said "b" It wasn't signed like she usually does, so i assumed that the "b" was for her name (which does start with B :) ). I didn't want to ask though, cuz I felt stupid. So, maybe when I send the next assisgnment in tomorrow I will....even if it makes me look stupid.
Our anniversay was sucky. Hubby and his dad installed our new front door the day before.....well sort of. It needed to have the frame built out, after they spent an hour and a half chiseling it away (Don't ask...I don't really understand myself). So, instead of going to the zoo or something NICE and FUN as a couple, we spent it at home...me in the basement with the cats doing homework, and him upstairs with his dad finishing the door. Oh yeah...and it snowed...on May 1. His dad had to come back today to add one more piece, and NOW I think it is done (except for the caulking and moulding). In a few weeks, they'll do the back door. I think I'll take the cats on a nice vacation that weekend.
We did go to Timberlodge for dinner Saturday night, after we ran to his store to run the end of the month stuff. That was ok. It was quiet, since it was like 9pm. It just felt so....after thought-ish. He didn't even get me a card. It was like WE are not even important. I know I'm just being a dumb girl, and who cares.....but JUST ONCE, I want our relationship to be a priority for him. I baked a cake on Sunday for our anniversary. He LOVED it, which was good, since I didn't like it. Actually, by the time his dad left at 6:15 that evening, I was ready to chuck the whole dinner and cake in the garbage and just leave.
Tuesday was my presentation at work. That went well...I didn't know I could talk for an hour...all by myself! I still have work to do now with this assessment stuff, and I found some more information in my reading today I'd like to share with my boss....we'll see if that ever gets done. I need to talk with her about my hours this summer. I do not want them changed...at all. I cannot afford to have fewer hours, and I can't work any more. I'll even take a work day in the conference room if it means I can keep my hours.
Tonight was the dinner at Kincaids. I had the roasted Tiger Prawns and Hubby and I split a Chocolate Indulgence cake. Very yummy....but dinner for 6 (with 3 desserts) was over $200!!! So not worth THAT!!! I guess I'm not cut out to be that kind of girl. I felt icky because I felt MIL was under dressed...or maybe to informally dressed...and I didn't like that I had that "snobby" attitude. There were a lot of couples there for Prom....THAT must be a spendy night! Dinner at Kincaids, a limo, fancy dress, hairdo....I think I spent as much on every formal dance combined as some of these girls do on one prom...and I've only been out of school 11 years! Ok...that makes me feel old....enough of that!
Guess I should head to bed. My mom is coming over for brunch tomorrow at 11. My sister is coming over at 10 to help get ready. I NEED to clean the house a bit....it's kind of a furry mess. If I go to bed RIGHT now, I'll get about 8 hours of sleep....double what I get during the week! Ok...then I guess I better go to bed :)
