Been awhile...

Yes it's been quite awhile since I updated. Truth is I've been a little busy, a little lazy, and a little tired recently! I can't remember what I even did last week. It must not have been that important. Last weekend I went to a family reunion with my mom in Grapevine which was actually semi-enjoyable. Sometimes family reunions can be a beating but I did enjoy this one (for the most part). (BTW, "for the most part" is a very weird phrase I just realized that. Is it even grammatically correct? Anyway)

The best thing about this trip was...................................................





Yes Yes the Ultimate in baby stores. I had the best time in there! I am so so jealous of anyone living close to a big city that has one! People who live in big cities (and you know who you are) please don't take it for granted that you have a babies r us. It truly is a gift! They have a bajillion cribs set up so you can actually look and feel and touch (not just look at a picture) and that was the biggest thing to me. I can't wait to just make a decision so I can start setting up the nursery! yeah how exciting.

Casey and I will be going there while we are in the Dallas area for another reunion in July. I have already made that decision. Family reunions will come and go but Babies R Us trips last forever!

I've been feeling much much better, the nausea is down except when I eat really late in the evening. So we are tring to eat early around 6, 6:30 and I think I'll get through it! My next Dr's appointment is June 29th (16 weeks), so I will probably update this again after that.

That's about it for me other than to say I've had a crummy day at work, that's why I'm looking at baby stuff to make me happy. I know it's not good to talk about your work on blogs. I've heard about people getting fired for that but let me just say this.. Is it wrong to ask to make a little more money when you are asked to begin taking on more responsibility and stress? I'm just throwing that out there. That may not make sense to some of you but I really just had to get it off my chest, without going into details. Anyway, I'll sure I will live through this experience and be the better for it!

Love to all

Crazy Fun Wild Hectic (But Too Short) Weekend AND Week!

I decided I needed to update for this past week and weekend. It's been pretty crazy around here! This past weekend was Scottie's graduation so Casey's family came in from Colorado. It was fun just visiting and hanging out with some fresh faces. Casey's cousin Teddy was married last year and we hadn't had the chance to visit with his wife at the time (she was a little busy getting married). So we were really glad to get to know her better this past weekend. We had fun jet-skiing, fishing, watching movies and just doing nothing! It was so nice.

Casey and I went to see X-men 3 at the theater Monday. I thought it was great. I had seen the other two and wasn't disappointed by this one. The only problem I think with the X-men movies is that there are so many characters, it's difficult to actually let the audience get to know each one in depth. Of course there are the main characters which we know more about, but they introduced a boy with wings (I think his nickname is Angel) this movie, made it seem like he was going to be in the movie quite a bit and then we only saw a couple more times. I think he had like 4 lines. Weird stuff like that. Other than that it was great.

Well we had our 12 week appointment at the Dr's office this Tuesday. We were very excited going into it but it was all very anticlimactic. It lasted all of 30 minutes. We got to hear the heartbeat (which was very cool), then the Dr came in and felt on my stomach, said everything looked good and that was about it! He told us we need to decide about prenatal testing because if we want it done it will be at our next appointment. Do we want it done? We don't know yet. There is a huge rate of false positives with those tests, which can get you all worried and scared for no reason. Casey has pretty much decided he doesn't think we should have tests but I haven't made up my mind completely. I want to give it some more thought. I think it deserves some serious thought.

I should be getting my car back this afternoon! Finally. It's been exactly one month today since my wreck and still no car! I just hope that it looks and drives the same way. That's what worries me the most!


And to close (finally) my mom and I are going tomorrow to look at a garage sale for baby furniture. I've decided that since this whole thing is going to cost way more than we were thinking, we'd better be a little frugal. I mean if we can find a NICE crib that's used (as long as it's in good overall condition and looks good) why not? The problem will be finding one I like! I think I may be pretty picky. That's the good thing about starting early, more time to look! Better get going. Take care to the one or two people who actually read this!
