What's Up?

Nothing much going on. My sister and my friend Chantilly are coming for a visit. They should be here for supper. Dave and I are cleaning. I'm also thinking that we have way to much stuff or should I say junk. I guess until the basement is completely finish I can't throw anything out. Dave has been sick this past week so not much of the completion of the reno's are getting done. We had a problem with grouting our tiles. My uncle will be back Sunday to help out. Baby is kicking a lot. Dave has names pick out and some of them are a big no. Well off to finish cleaning.

Holidays

Dave will be officially on holidays in 6 hours. Yes I'm counting since I haven't seen him more than 6 hours since he's been back. We have plans to stay here and finish what the contractor started and didn't finish. Tomorrow we will go buy the supplies and on Sunday my uncle will come and help with stuff. We are planning on coming to Sudbury but not until the 8th and that also depends on how much studying I have done by then. We do have people coming to visit us. My sister and Chantal will be here July long and Kim, Steve and Gordie will be here after that. Who knows who else will come. I've been studying all day and I am now taking a break. My plan is to study till about supper time, have supper the take Rudy for a walk, then study till bed time. Hopefully I get lots done. As I'm typing I'm being kicked or poked or whatever by our son. He was quite now he's very active. I only wish Dave could feel him. Well back to the books, well a little snack first.

Welcome Home Dave

Today my hubby is coming home. The three of us or should I say the 4 of us miss him lots. He should be home around supper time. We get to eat a meal together. That's all

Yard work

I'm officially saying that I do not want to cut the grass ever again. I had to cut the back yard today, everything was going good. I even cut the area on the other side of the fence since that's Rudy's bathroom. I was bringing the lawn mower back to the garage, when I saw a flipping snake crawling or whatever they do going under the two front trees. It freaked me out. I'm hoping it's just a garden snake but all I saw was the end of it. I feel like there's a million on me at the moment. From now on Dave you can cut your grass. I hate snakes. Just thought I would share this horrible moment with all of you. I actually didn't mind cutting the grass. Sorry Dave that is your chore, I now love scrubbing toilets:)

Just Stuff

This afternoon I get a phone call from my new Dr. The OBGYN doc. I guess I had my first appointment today and I didn't go. I wish I knew I had one I would of went. I guess my doctor's office forgot to inform that I had an appointment. I also didn't know I had an OBGYN until today. I was ask at my last doc's appointment if I wanted a female. I prefer a female but was told she was pretty busy so I might not get her. That was the last I heard and that was May 31. Now my new appointment and my first with the OBGYN is July 12. So many doctor visits. Enough about that. Dave and I are trying to figure out a way that we can go visit his dad, Chris, Lynds and Colling while they are camping. They will be less than 1 hour away. Our dilemma is that this place doesn't allow pets therefore Rudy can't come. I was thinking maybe Dave should go alone, this way he gets to spend time woith his dad and Rudy isn't left lock up in his kennel all day by himself in the hot weather. This way I can maybe get more studying done. I really want to see everybody but someone has to sacrifice for the kid:) Maybe if it's not to hot we both can go for a couple of hours or something. Dave and I will have to talk about it. If we left Rudy at a Kennel it would cost 35$ for a day and that's expensive.

Dave will be home on Wednesday sometime then he has to work evenings on Thursday and Friday:( I still don't get to see him. Then we should start his holidays:) I will know more when he gets back. Can't wait to see him. The baby is very active now. He's woken me up a few times. I'm starting to show more I think.

My sister is leaving tomorrow. Thanks for the help Sheri. Off to watch the rest of the hockey game

Happy Father's Day To All

Since I couldn't spend father's day with my, I spent it with my uncle. My dad is visiting his home town of BelleDune(formally jaquet River)N.B. He'll be there for another few weeks. My parents or I should say my dad is thinking of moving back home. He wanted to see if he could handle small town living, and his family so he went for a long visit. He's been there since the end of May. He's coming home soon. I'm very surprised he's not back yet. My grandmother can be a very big pain in the ass. She's the type of person who blames her only 2 grandkids for her baby(my dad) leaving home when he was 19. My parents weren't even together or knew eachother then, but yet it's somehow my fault. Nothing much going on except that I can feel the baby kick, move or whatever he/or she is doing. Sometimes it really hurts. Well I'm very exhausted so I'll post another day.

Hot Saturday.

The weather is beautiful today. Hot and sunny, I can certainly use a swim. I'm doing some housework today and more studying. Since it's hot and I want to cool off the upstairs I put up a foil blanket on my bedroom window. I'm hoping that it will help reduce some of the heat. My uncle put some on his office windows and he said it works. Only time will tell. I was thinking of going to the cookstown outlet mall today. There's this store there called Cambridge bed and bath and there's a tone of stuff. I need some hand towels for the basement bathroom. I also wanted to look for a duvet cover for the spare room. I was also hoping to paint my doors for downstairs. I'm trying to do as much as I can before Dave get home and goes on holidays. The more I do the less he'll have to do. He took time off so we can get stuff in order for the baby and get his house back in order.

I did it

Yesterday my sister and I painted my basement bathroom. My uncle came over in the evening and help with the rest and he also installed my light. The only thing we didn't paint was the ceiling. When I was talking to the paint store the designer said that I should paint the ceiling the same color as the walls, since it's a small room. The words she used was it wouldn't look so boxy. Well seeing the ceiling primed white I think I might paint the ceiling white. I left it for now until Dave gets home from training. The bathroom is almost done, all it needs it the baseboards, door, door trim and grout the tiles. I would take a pic but my hubby took the camera with him. Sorry will get one later. Well I'm off to shop for a mirror since the one I have is to big.

F@**#$ Kids.

I'm starting to hate the kids in my neighborhood. Last year for a weeding gift Dean and Dana got us some really nice solar lights. It had 10 in the box. I placed them along my driveway and up the walk way towards the front door. I can home from shopping and sheri noticed that one was broken. I wasn't yet upset since last year one broke mysteriously(kids), and the way it broke my dad can fix it. Well not this one it's shattered. How flipping rude. The kids play in the middle of the street around cars playing hockey, football and the skateboard as well. I'm more than 100% certain that one of the dumb ass kids didn't catch a football and it hit my nice lights and smashed it into a million pieces. They could of told me instead of running like scared little children. Now I'm thinking of giving up the lights and taking them down. I hate kids. We have a park and a dead end street like 20 feet away. can they not play there? My kids will never do this sort of thing. I'm so upset I have to stop writing and go plant some flowers

I wonder if my flowers are even safe.

Another Ultrasound

I got a phone call from the Dr's office this morning and she informed me that I have to go for another ultrasound. My heart drop. I was starting to panic. A lot of things was going through my head at a high speed, then she said that there was nothing to be concerned about, that because the way the baby was lying that they couldn't get all the pictures they wanted. I was relieved. Then I was thinking that this second ultrasound will give us another look at our little one, and maybe find out if it's a boy or girl. I'm even more excited to hold my pee. NOT as if.

Baby

I was thinking that the feeling that I've been feeling is the baby. This feeling I get is like I'm on a roller coaster. Could this be it? I feel like that a few times a day.

Did Baby Move?

For the past several days I've been ask the same question over and over. Not that I'm upset or anything about the question but more concerned. "Did you feel the baby move yet?" is the question. I have some of my friends and family saying I should by now. Well I haven't and am concerned that maybe there is something wrong with the little one. The ultrasound girl doesn't give you any idea if everything is ok, but she isn't a radiologist either. I'm assuming because she showed us the monitor everything is good. My question is why can't I feel him or her? I keep thinking to myself, well everyone's body is different and maybe I'll feel the baby later. I am only starting my 21st week. In the book I've been reading it says anytime now or later I should feel the baby. It still doesn't make me feel any better when you have people asking all the time. I should be concentrating on my big exam and studying for it, but no I'm sitting here worried about something that will eventually happen when it's meant to happen. I'm not upset at people for being excited but just remember I have other more important things at this time to prepare for. My paramedic exam is the most important thing to me at this time. I need to pass this exam so all of you don't think I'm some dumb ass. Don't get me wrong I'm excited for the arrival of our baby but I also want to be able to provide a nice life for him or her so please just be patient if I don't talk about the baby, I am preoccupied with other things at the moment. After July 14th I'll be done my first exam of many and then I can focus on getting things ready for the baby, and hopefully report that I feel the baby move. Now I have to go study since I have company for the next week or so and need to get a jump on that.

Ultrasound Day

Yesterday was the big day. We had our first ultrasound. Our first look at our bundle of joy. It was amazing. I'm now more excited to him or her. I would post a pic but this ultrasound place doesn't do pics. I was so upset. I wanted a pic, instead I had to pay 20$ for vcr tape that we can't even watch since we have no vcr. It just sucks. once the ultrasound started I changed my mind about finding out the sex. Well our baby is shy he or she wouldn't let us find out. Sorry to all who wanted to know, We all have to wait till October. We also have a very quiet baby. It didn't move much during the ultrasound. I just hope that doesn't mean our baby will be a little terror. Well that's all for now,

Should We or Not

I've been asking Dave the last few days if he wants to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. After he spoke to Kim, I ask the same question and he said to me it's up to me. What kind of answer is that? I was hoping we can make this decision together as parents, I guess I was wrong. Dave, Dave ,Dave you wonder why I get upset. I've made a decision on the subject and since I know dave doesn't really want to know I guess I'll wait till the baby is born. To everyone who was hoping we were going to find out, sorry but you all have to be patient. If you think about it, the due date isn't that far away. My mom will be happy. She didn't want me to find out. Well that's it for now.

A Case Of The Mondays.

This pass weekend I though I was back to normal. I didn't feel tired at all. This morning I woke up at 9am, had breakfast and watch some t.v. At around 11 am I was feeling a little sick and tired, so I went for a nap. Felt better after. I studied for a little. I'm now doing some housework so the hubby doesn't get upset with me. I had to turn the air on since it's really hot upstairs. I have someone coming on the 7th to clean the air ducts. Hopefully it helps. They also have this promotion that they will clean the a/c coil free with the air duct cleaning. they are also doing other stuff as well. I'm hoping they can find the problem with the a/c.

My first ultrasound is Thursday and I'm so excited. We will find out if we are having twins and maybe if the baby is a boy or a girl. I just had a dr's appointment and this time the heart beat was faster. The doc was much happier. That is it. I'm off to get supper going since Dave should be home soon

Home Sweet Home

It's nice to be home again. As much as I like going home to see everybody, it's sure nice to be in my house. Logan miss me. Dave wasn't home when I got there. He arrived a few hours later. Rudy was excited to see his dad and so was Dave. sometimes I think Dave loves Rudy more. I don't even get attention. I have to ask for a kiss and a hug. My weekend was good. I couldn't spend a lot of time with my friend Chantal since her son Cory had Scarlet Fever and I had to stay away just to be safe. My other friend Chantal she was working. I spent a few hours with her on Wednesday night. I got to see me godson. He's getting really big. He's almost 2 and he's into the biting stage. Thank heavens he's not my child. He bit my sister and Chantal didn't even do anything. I couldn't get over it. I just hope my kid is a good kid.

Had a Dr's appointment before I went to Sudbury, Everything is good. The baby's heart beat was faster this time, doc was pleased. My mom was with me so she got hear the heart beat as well. My first ultra sound is Thursday. The day we find out if I'm having twins. I think we will try and find out the sexe of the baby. Dave is changing his mind about that. Our Dr. doesn't want us to find out. Maybe baby will want to keep that a secret. Well I'm off to the bank.
