Cold Shower

Today is another beautiful and hot day. Last night Dave and I gave in and turn the air on. Not that it cooled the upstairs. Dave left this am for his cool driving course. He'll be in Ottawa until Saturday. My mom is coming up for a few days then off to sudbury. Today is a study day. I went through all my q-cards from EMT and Primary Care Paramedic school and pick out the one I would study for my exam. I have over a 1000. Yep 1000. I guess I'm the book worm now. I think if I learn my q-cards all over again and read my text book, I should be ok. I guess my study break is over. More another day or when I get back from Sudbury. I hope Chantal's pool is ready for when I get there. It was 72.

HOT HOT HOT

AS much as I love the warm weather, today was too hot. I mean ya we have central air but it's not even June. Plus having a two storey house suck with air. Last year it wouldn't even cool off the upstairs. I'm also assuming that we will have the same problem. I planted some flowers today but still haven't decided on where to put a flower garden.

Dave is leaving tomorrow morning for a week. I will be by myself. After my Dr's appointment on Wednesday I will drive to Sudbury for a few days. I need some cloths so I'll be going shopping with my mom and sister. I will try and visit the in-laws, but if I don't please don't be insulted. I'm only in Sudbury for two days. Dave and I will make a trip up to Sudbury soon. These next few days I have to study. I've been putting it off. That's not a good thing. What else can I say. Oh ya, It's miserly hot here and humid. I'm off to finish laundry for Dave so he can pack. See ya

Beautiful Saturday

Finally a beautiful day. Today Dave and I are doing the usual. House work and yard work. I'm hoping we can figure out where to put a flower garden. I don't want a vary big one, since flowers do cost. I got this pattern from Wal Mart for some ideas for container garden. I would like to try one of those as well. Today we are having a BBQ. Our neighbours, Claudia(who is 7 months pregnant) and Dave are home long enough this weekend to socialize. They just got back from Niagara Falls. Dave and I are planning on going. Our 1 year anniversary is coming up and that would be perfect. Nothing else going on here. Rudy is gettting a bath today. Not that he's looking forward to it, but he needs it. Well off to clean more

Weekend

The weekend is here and nothing to do but house work. It's the same thing over and over every time. Let's watch a movie he'll say. I'm sick of that. What I miss is spending time with our friends. They are all scattered all over. Some in Sudbury and some in Saskatchewan. I do have my friend Chantal coming over for a weekend but that isn't till the July long weekend. Until then I guess it's the same old thing. It is cheap entertainment, since we have to pay for a baby now. Family can visit also but that hasn't happen in a few months. Maybe a family bbq would be a good idea. Something to think about.

Basement Bathroom

I've been very patient with the MIA contractor and the unfinished work he's left. Since I drink a lot of water I'm also going to the bathroom more. Our toilet in the basement bathroom is working but the sink wasn't finish being hook up. I've been using the toilet but having to wash my hands in the laundry tub. My loving husband who has no idea about any of this stuff hook up my sink. I'm so happy, I now have a sink to wash my hands in. Good job Dave. Now if I can only get the rest done.

Banking

Today is a sad day for me. I was checking our bank accounts and noticed that our accounts in Saskatchewan are closed. I know it sounds funny but it Sk was our home for the past 5 years and now that chapter is close. The best part of living in Saskatchewan is the friends we've made. Miss them. Well I'm off to go shopping.

My Baby Is Sick :(

For those who don't know my baby is my dog. He's a black lab. The last few hours we had to rush outside with him since he has the "runs". It's now 11pm and he is still not feeling any better. He has this look in his eyes that just makes me want to cry. I wish I can just pick him up and hold him. I have no idea how to make him feel better and it kills me. Dave is on midnights for the next couple of nights so I guess I will be up a lot taking Rudy outside. I just hope he cries loud enough to wake me. I would let him sleep in bed with me but he loves his own bed(kennel). I guess Dave and I are prepared for parenthood. Well I'm off to get some sleep before it all begins.

Cleaning and more cleaning.

I used to enjoy doing house work. Not today. There are a lot of things I'm having trouble doing. Cleaning my bathtub is really hard. I could ask Dave but he's at work and I wanted to do all the housework so we can just do the other stuff that needs to be done. Like maybe finish the bathroom downstairs since I'm done waiting for my so called contractor. I contacted a lawyer to see what our rights were and he said that if we decide to take him to small claims court then we shouldn't finish it ourselves. In case the judge orders him to finish the job. Then again if he is order to do it, is he going to do a good job. The other option is to swallow our lost and to do it ourselves, but that is why we hired someone to do it. So we wouldn't have to. This sucks. What to do? My cleaning today is also my monthly chores like pulling my fridge and stove to clean behind. I was amazed at the fact that is wasn't that dirty back there. I must be doing a good job. I was also thinking of cleaning the baseboards around the house. Will see about that one. I'm feeling a little sick but I should get it done. I also have to go get my paycheck and give my work keys back. Rudy also wants to go for a walk. I also should spend some time studying. So much for me to do. That's all

Names?

I never thought in a million years that picking a name for our baby would be hard. I'm finding it hard to find names for boys. I know Dave and I have time. It's fustrating. I think if we had a girl we have a name pick out. I don't think my mom likes it but I don't care it's what we like. Any suggestions on names?

Census

The other day we had this guy come to our door and give us the census papers. I gave them to Dave and we filled them out on the internet. One of the questions ask what was the first language learned at home in childhood and still understand. I had to answer French and English. I'm certain all of you know that growing up I spoke both. My dad is English and my mom French. As far back as I can remember I spoke both. I've been thinking of doing the same thing with our child but wasn't certain Dave would agree and I didn't want to argue over the subject. I finally got the courage and ask if it would bother Dave if I spoke French to our baby from day one. He said go for it. That made me happy since being French is a part of me and I want that for my kids as well. I'm certain that some of you might not agree but as a soon to be parent, I think that speaking French will benefit my child. I am looking forward to speaking French on a daily basis again. Oh ya and I won't forget either that Dave speaks English. That's my thought for today.

No More Work

I Had a chat with my store Manager the other day. I was asking why managers didn't get a break. She informed that we do, it's at the back desk. We eat and when were done we go back on the floor. She also said that none of glen's stores get breaks. That's the owner. I had also informed her that my doctor said that I need to eat a proper lunch and snacks during my shifts. A few times while I was working my blood sugar level was getting a little low. I can tell by the fact that I was getting dizzy and shaky. The doc suggested that since I can't get a full 30 min then to take snacks to work so I can at least keep the blood glucose level stable. I informed this to the store manager and she said she would need a Dr's note to keep in my file. I was insulted. Who needs a Dr's note to eat and to keep her baby healthy. I went and got her stupid Dr's note but it's not what she wanted. The Dr said it would be best that I don't work, so now I'm officially on sick leave. There's other stuff as well at work that made me go on sick leave but I don't feel like typing it all. I'm still exhausted and still puking. I was hoping that would stop soon since I am in my 15th week. I will be 16 weeks on the 15th. So much to do before junior is born. We still have to get his room together, as well as finish the basement. I'm thinking of getting my mom to come up and help paint the bathroom and the babies room. I also have to start studying since my exam is July 14th. Well that's all for now. Have no idea if anyone is reading, hope I'm not to boring.

Results

Dave and I got lucky and we heard the heart beat. It was amazing. Doc said the heart beat is slower than he expected but he didn't seem to be concerned. Maybe a baby boy? Ultrasound is June 8. I also found out how much weight I gained. Only 1 pound. It feels more like 20 to me.

Do We Hear The Heart Beat Or Not?

Today is my monthly visit to the Doc's. Last month he said that if were lucky we might be able to hear the heart beat. Also he said he would measure the uterus and see if I could be having 2. I also find out when the ultrasound is. Stay tuned fir the results.

Time?

Where does the time go? Most days I work 10:30am to 7pm. It's long day and I miss most of it. Take today for example. It was hot and sunny and here I was being a slave to McDonald's. All I can think of is Rudy being in his kennel since we were both working. By the time I get home it's almost 7:30 pm, we have dinner, clean up and I take a nice hot bath to relieve the days pain and sometimes if I'm up to it I'll go for a walk with Dave and Rudy, then it's bed time and the entire day starts all over. Is this what life is really about? If so,IT SUCKS!!! Well I'm off to bed.
