M.I.A.

so I have been MIA.

During the process of turning the den into the babies room the wireless got messed up. So I was off line for a little while.

That was tough but not as bad as it would be since I have been sick. UGH. and have been sleeping like crazy. I still feel sluggish and it's gone from my throat to my ears.

Fun times.

baby is moving a little more. Cant feel it all the time, but more and more. It's cool.

I am hoping to find out the gender really soon. But not sure when it will happen.

I'm off to take a shower before I lose my boost of energy.

Baby's room

I can't wait. This weekend my father in law is coming over to help my husband move the desk and other large furniture out of the den so I can start turning it into the baby's room.

I have no idea what I am going to do about the closet though. I have been using it for my clothes while hubby uses the one in the bedroom. Hmmm. Gotta think about that. Plus it has my craft supplies and christmas items in there for storage....

I can't wait to find out if I am having a boy or a girl. Luckily the nursery items I have left from Bug are neutral. A pretty light green safari theme. (I love elephants and giraffes)

Bug is wanting breakfast. later all.

tripped...ouch

So about a week or so ago I tripped on two things. Both at night. One was the vacuum not put away by hubby and the other was bucket part of Bugs dump truck. Again not put away. It hurt and I said some pretty colorful words. Went to the bathroom and back to bed.

I dont know which trip did it, but now I can hardly walk. I went to the doc today and they didn't want to do x-rays, well they did, but not with me being preggers. so instead they are giving me a shoe. A special shoe to wear for 4-6 weeks as if I did break the bone just behind my big toe. With the swelling and such she is pretty sure it could be broken, but without the x-ray she isnt sure to the extent. shoe or surgery. So she says go with the shoe and if it still hurts after such weeks then we will go from there, but pretty much can't do anything until after I have the baby. anyways.

Hopefully it's just a small crack (fracture) and the shoe will heal it.

If it's not one thing it's another. UGH.

butterfly kisses

I took my first sip of coffee this morning (my one and only cup all day).

Moments later I felt this wonderful flutter.

Butterfly kisses in my belly.

A wonderful, beautiful feeling.

It's friday night and.....

Long freakin' day. But a good one.

Field trip, playing at neighbors, strawberry picking.

IN THE SUN... I'm ready for bed.

Is 6:10 on a Friday night too early for bed?

yup yup

Not much going on.

Hubby is on a mini vaca.

we are getting a lot done around the house.

Bug remains clingy.

MIL is driving me nuts.

I am exhausted.

Rain Rain go away, come back...oh wait. Dont come back it's the Fouth.

So it's been raining for weeks now. NO freakin joke. I feel like I live in Seattle not Maine.

We went to my brother's camp for the fourth holiday today. We had fun with the cousins. Fishing, kayaking, wiffleball, food, laughs and an attempt at swimming.

I say attempt b/c the water was so cold. The rock that the adults usually sit on while the kids swim around us was covered so much that it went above my knee. Only my two nieces attempted to swim. I tried sitting on the rock but instantly I started to get cramps. Baby didnt like the cold.

We were about to light morning glory sparklers when a horrendous storm cloud could be seen crossing the lake. My dad literally had the match lit when the first rain drop started with a shower and thunder to follow. I have never seen clean up happen so fast.

We are home. Hubby is taking a nap. Bug is on the computer in the den and I am about to make waffles with the fresh strawberries we picked this week and blueberries with whipped cream....Red, White and Blue yumminess for dinner.

Have a happy fourth everyone.
