Well there is not a whole lot new to post about on my end. We lost power again this past Monday, but only for a few hours this time. We had a bad thunder storm and this time the whole city lost power.

Um, besides that things have been pretty low key. Just hanging out with the dogs. Tango is now going outside with Cha Cha. Her leash is a little bit more shorter then Cha Cha's so she can't go quite as far. We are looking into getting the invisible fence that way they can just run around and we don't have to worry about putting them on leashes.

I went to the doctors this weekend and they did all the good stuff that they do to girls. I am starting to get a little scared of actually having to give birth. If I can't handle the woman poking around in there, how am I going to handle having a baby actually come out. Besides that she said that everything looks great. The baby is positioned right, and is the right size, and everything is on schedule. More then likely I won't have another ultra sound, because everything looks good. Unless I have a problem then they won't do one. They also did some blood work to see if my Iron level is back to normal.

I got some great things in the mail this week. I got the car seat that I wanted...Thank you very much Aunt Adrienne. I got a box full of all kinds of goodies from Aunt Erika..Thank you!!! And I got a bunch of new books to read from Aunt Kathy...Thank you!

I'm starting to look at wedding dresses online, which is kind of exciting. I found a few that I really like. But because I don't know exactly we are having the wedding at, I don't know what kind of dress I want to get. I only chose a date because I knew I had to let people that live in Michigan and what not when it was. We know that we are going to be having the reception at the house, but we are not sure if we want to get married in a church or at the house as well. Something we are working on trying to figure out, but I have come to the conclusion that Jon is useless...he just says he doesn't care.

Well that's about all. Thanks again for all the great things that I got this week!

Love you guys!

More stuff





Well there are a few new things to post about so here it goes.


We finally got the crib put together, Jon's dad did it a few weeks ago. It's starting to look really nice in the room now. It's actually got stuff in it lol. We still have a few things left to get like a dresser, carseat, stroller, diaper bag, high chair, bouncy seat, and other random things. But it looks good with the crib in there. I am going to ask Jon to put together the bassinet this weekend (I am no good with putting things together...if I did then they probably wouldn't be safe lol). I have put it off for long enough, mostly because I am lazy and since the bassinet is going in our room, I would have to figure out a place to put it and clean up and everything, and I haven't felt like doing that, but I have to soon, since I don't have that much longer.


The weather here is finally nice. Monday we got quite a snow storm, and our power was off from 8 in the morning until 10:30 at night. It was awful. I resorted to talking to the dogs for most of the day. Because Jon's mom is on her spring break from work and is in Chicago for the week, his dad is down in Albany for the week working, and Jon worked the midnight shift so he slept most of the day. So I had no tv, music, movies, computer, or anyone to talk to. I read a little bit, but I can only sit still and do one thing for so long without getting bored.


I went to the doctor's today. They said that everything looks good. The baby's head is down and my belly is the right size. I have to start going once a week now, instead of twice a week. Which is a pain in the butt, but it's what I gotta do.


Well that's about all. Love and miss everyone like crazy :)

Stuff

Well the baby shower was this past weekend. I had fun, mostly because I had my family here. Everyone else was drinking and singing karoke...not my cup of tea. But it was nice that my parents and sister and Robin and Aunt Sandy came. I had a lot of fun with them here. It made the whole thing so so much better. I couldn't see myself having all that much fun if they weren't here. We didn't do a lot of "baby shower" things. I think the only thing that was baby shower related was the opening of gifts.

I got a lot of cool things. A lot of clothes, and bibs, and the normal baby stuff. But I also got a diaper genie, the baby bath that I had put up on my target registery, a beautiful bassinet from Sally (Thank you so much!!!), and a crib from my parents. My girlfriends from out here made me a beautiful scrapbook for the baby.

Besides the baby shower, nothing exciting has happened. Jon is working more midnight shifts at the casino, so he is quitting the Salvation Army. This week will be here last week working there. I went to the doctor today and everything is looking good. I'm in my 7th month, and counting down the days till the baby comes out. We are starting to plan our wedding, since we won't have much time when the baby actually comes. Hopefully we will have a date picked out soon so I can let everyone know.

Our puppy is doing good. Crazy as ever though. She went to the vet and everything looks good for her as well. The two dogs together are getting along much better now. They play all the time, although Cha Cha would rather not lol.

Well I can't post pictures right now of the baby shower because the computer down stairs, for some reason won't allow me to upload. But I will post some in the next few days.

That's about all for now. Love you all!!
