Another Day

Hey I have car problems! Whats new, even with a new car I have problems, but at least I have a warranty :) So thats getting fixed today. I am feeling the baby more often that is cool - I will be excited when Jason can feel it move too. I am trying to stay more focused, but that is a task not easily accomplished. Although my due date is January 5 I am HOPING now the baby will come a little bit earlier. I knew my insurance out of pockets and deductables went year to year, but I was hoping since it is all one occurance it would be one payment. I just got off the phone with them and NOPE. I'll pay a nice $1000 before December then if I have the baby in January thats another $1000. I guess I should be grateful I have insurance though. Things are going good. I will, as always, keep you updated. :)

...Wait I forgot...

So my brain is not working at full capacity... I cannot remember anything!! Last night I went and locked myself out of my apartment because I forgot to grab my keys. At work I forget what I am doing in the middle of doing it... Oh my! This is going to be fun LOL I tell Jason the baby is stealing my Brain cells. He says at this rate our child is going to be a GENIUS!!!

17 weeks

Another Tuesday, Another week! I like the weeks adding up. I know for the first and only time of my life I am wishing away summer and fall... I know I shouldn't and perhaps I won't as soon as I feel more pregnant. I want to feel the baby kick every day, not just once in a while. I have had an easy pregnancy I guess. No major pains, no sickness, not much heartburn, not many headaches, and hey I am getting used to the insomnia LOL Even though I imagine I will get more uncomfortable with time I will at least feel pregnant. 3 weeks until I find out what our baby will be. That is exciting for me. Well as always I will keep you posted!

The weekend

I had a wonderful time in Erie this weekend. We stayed at a nice B&B called the spencer house. Jason got us a suite on the top floor. When I walked in the room there was a bouquet of daises on the bed (my fav flower!) He is so sweet. We had a lot of fun. We visited Presque Isle, the lighthouses, the perry monument, we took a boat tour, we visted the bay, the bicentenial tower, the maritime museum, the Tom Ridge Environtemental Center. We did so much. We had dinner at some nice restaurants. Especially Bertrands, a little French place. Jason tried to get me to taste his frog legs but no way! He says they taste like popcorn :) It was a nice trip. Probably the last weekend getaway we will be able to take for a while. Now its time to get serious about saving money and vacation time for when the baby comes.

Yes its true...

I finally know I can feel the baby kick. It is still very random and still very soft, but I feel it better than I used to. I think even though I am uncomfortable at times I like feeling pregnant. I will like it even better when other people can tell I am pregnant LOL. Anyway I have a lot to do today. I am leaving at 11 for our trip. I will update on Monday :)

Erie

Jason filled me in on our little trip this weekend to Erie. We are staying at the Spencer House. He reserved a very nice suite. He reserved a table at a nice restaraunt (sorry I forget the name). He is planning on taking me to the zoo, to the museum, probably Presque Isle, and there is a festival going on that weekend. We will have a great time!!! Thanks Jay!!!!!!!

So I have a stubborn child... What more could I expect!

My kid is stubborn. It took almost 20 mins to find the heartbeat. The little bugger kept moving around and away from the doppler. But the heart is beating strong 150 beats per minutes. They said he is growing good. Funny how the Dr kept saying he and little boy??? Hmmmm do they know something I dont from the last ultrasound? Or maybe she just says he because it sounds better than it. Guess I will know in 4 weeks when I go get another ultrasound

16 weeks

Another Tuesday... Another week. Dr appt today at 3:45. I learned last night where we are going on our trip. ERIE!!! Thanks my Jay!!! Even though I found out in an accidental way LOL Feeling good this week. Still sleeping horribly. Guess I have to get used to that LOL evrything else is good. It is good to have Holly home visiting. I got to spend some time with her and my mom and Jim on Sunday. That was nice. Anyway more updates tomorrow about DR apt and Erie trip

Its Monday AND Grapples are Gross

Its Monday... I think I slept 4 hours at most last night :( At least its a short week and I work 1/2 day Thursday and am done. I am excited about Jason and my trip this weekend (I dont know where we are going yet) Tomorrow I have a Dr. appt. So watch for updates this week.

I tried a Grapple. It is a mix between a grape and an apple. Its not good. It tastes like a bitter apple injected with grape popsicle LOL Smells good but tastes not so good.

Registry already??

So some of you have discovered my registry online. Why did I register? I was bored at work one day LOL. Why did I chose Babies R Us? Because it was the most friendly site for my work computer, Walmart and Target did not load fast enough. The thing you should know about my registry is I listed things I want but not specifics. What I have listed does not need to be bought at Babies R Us. What I have listed does not need to be the exact one I have listed. A boppy for example. Yes I want a boppy, but I do not really care which one. Find the cheapest LOL. A bouncer seat, I am not picky about style or color as long as it works I am happy. Hey if you find one at a yard sale even better! Plus I do not want people to feel obligated to get me things, I hate making people feel obligated! My registry was also created so I would remember the things I wanted. Pregnancy has made my memory very BAD!! LOL Anyway if you discover it now ya know LOL. The only thing I don't like is pure pink items and Disney/Nickelodeon characters... Nuetrals and greys are my fav for items (clothes excluded)

Cinderella

She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you
There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song'
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song'
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be goneShe will be gone
Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song'
Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

Week 15

Well another Tuesday is here. That means another week down! Nothing too exciting this past week. Helped Aimee move on Saturday and was extremely sore on Sunday. I feel silly because I really didn't do that much to help her. I am used to my body being much stronger. I guess all my energy has been relocated to growing a child LOL. I have a Dr. appt next Tues. I am not looking forward to it. I am not looking forward to seeing my weight gain this month. I am hoping they will hear the heartbeat this time. I know in the next few weeks things will get more "exciting" I will be finding out the baby's sex. And I will start feeling him/her move more regularly.

Summer is half over!

I can't belive time is going so fast. August will be done before we know it. I can't say I am sad this year though. I think it is the first time I am ever looking forward to winter. I thought of a good thing of having a baby in January. Although I wont get the summer off work at least the most boring time of winter (Jan & Feb) won't be so boring for me. :) I will have the excitement of a new baby.
We are going to have a busy couple months though and it doesnt make for an ideal beginning. The baby is due Jan 5. Jason has to be moved out by Jan 31 and I will have to move in March. It makes me feel like I cannot get things ready for the baby. I hate to get stuff all organized just to pack it up 3 weeks after the baby is born... I just wish I knew where I would be living before the baby is born instead of just waiting to find out.

100 days

Today is the 100th day of being pregnant. I dont know why I wanted to see that 100 on my ticker, but I did and its finally here. "Only" 40 more days and this will be half over or should I say I will have to wait half as long to see my baby.

People say enjoy your pregnancy. I always wanted to be pregnant, but right now it feels like nothing. It hard to enjoy something that barely feels real. A few weeks ago I was tired, but now I am not tired anymore. I haven't consistantly felt the baby move (if I even have yet) I don't know if I am having a girl or boy so I really can't shop for clothes yet. The only thing that is really different is non of my clothes fit and it doesnt make me feel preganant it makes me feel fat! LOL I just keep thinking though in5 more weeks I will be feeling my baby, know what I am having and actually feel pregnant. So the wait continues :)

Baby stuff

Little by little I keep accumulating more stuff for the baby and I am realizing I have no where to put it. I have no bedroom for the baby. I have no furniture for the baby. I dont know where to put baby clothes. It really stinks because I know I will be moving again in April so I do not really want to create a whole space. Oh well I think I need to better organize my bedroom to make a space for baby. Good thing I have a big bedroom. :-)

14 Weeks

Every Tuesday is exciting to me because it marks the start of a new week. 14 weeks today. In 2 weeks I have another Dr. appt. Maybe I will hear the heartbeat this time. In 5 weeks I will know if I am having Audrey or Luke! In 5 weeks I will be half way through this pregnancy. It is exciting! I have been feeling good. If it wasn't for the terrible time I have sleeping I would hardly know I am pregnant.

You know what really STUPID!!!

So I am having trouble budgetting for daycare, and you know whats really stupid! If I worked part time I would have the same amount of money that I do working full time and paying for daycare, I would qualify for ALL government assitance, and I would get to raise my own kid. So tell me, what is the incentive for working??? I would be farther ahead if I worked part time and applied for government assistance.

Waiting

I am trying to blog every day Mon - Thur however nothing going on today LOL just waiting!

I have a morning child!

I hate mornings. I never get used to getting up early. But I know I have a morning person baby LOL. Every morning I am starving! I was never hungry in the morning before and when I wake up I am so so hungry! Plus I can feel the baby moving around every morning. I cant feel it any other time yet - just mornings LOL!!! So the baby will probably be ready to go early every morning and I will be dragging myself out of bed LOL
