I'm going on a trip on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would think that I would have suitcases out and be putting stuff in them all ready. Nope but I have a pile of stuff that I want to take with me. So it is a start. I will be packing up 3 suitcases this week though. One will be left here for DH to take with him when he leaves next Thursday. Yup he gets to go with me for half. At least it is with his family. Thank goodness. Cause I am sure that they are going to drive me insane. I talked to his mother yesterday and she asked if I was bringing an empty suitcase. Nope did you forget that I am going to my parents house first? What the hell are you thinking lady? Of course she doesn't know that DH is now coming and so I will have room for a 4th bag on the way home. It does help to have someone coming back to help with all this stuff. The reason behind her asking is well I have a "few" things to send back with you and I know SIL does also. Oh my god!!! Have you not heard of the flat rate box? You cram as much stuff as you can in them without breaking the box and then send it on. My mom and I have those down to a science. I love them!!! I think the highest weight I got on one was like 18 pounds. Yeah that is a lot of stuff crammed in there.

So I almost have baby's birth announcement finished, well minus the important stuff like a name, date, length and weight. But the main design is all done so that all I have to do later is add the important stuff. Next will be baby's stocking and first Christmas picture. I know I am going to lose my cross stitching time so the more I get done now the better. Plus it is good sit down in the afternoon/evening stuff to work on.

October will fly right on by for me. I leave in the beginning and get back with 11 days left in the month. WooHoo!!! Have a great week!!

Appointment went well. Didn't hear the heartbeat yet. Baby is still to low behind the pelvic bone. Oh well but we did see the baby!!! Baby was tumbling all over the place in there and the heartbeat was just a going. So if baby was higher we would have heard the heartbeat.

Baby appointment tomorrow. Let's all cross our fingers that we are able to here the heartbeat. There is a 50/50 chance that we will so let's hope that we can. I mean according to all that I have read you can start hearing it at 10 weeks with the doppler. They even said that in the class we went to last week. So I will be one day shy of 11 weeks so keeping my fingers crossed. DH even has the day off to go with me!!! Yeah I am sure that he won't like the exam part of the visit but he has sat thru other stuff down there with the treatments we were doing so it isn't much different. Still arguing over finding out the sex. I am sure that we will but our neighbors will be the last to know.

Getting some maternity clothes today. Free from another woman on a board that I go to that is a plus size woman also. She is done with them forever and offered them up and I answered back first!!! Here's hoping that they will work for me. If not I will just pass them onto someone else. 2 weeks till I go on my grand tour. Have started compling things to take with me. Mostly stuff for Christmas and a birthday that is in December. No its not everything but hey every little bit counts. Still debating on what suitcases to take. It is looking like DH won't be here to take me to the airport but might be here to pick me up. Stuff is going on out here and he is involved in it so who knows at this point.

All righty everyone have an awesome day!! I am off to at least wash my face and such before the girl with the clothes calls me.

I got the tickets!!!! For 2 only!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The neighbor's husband doesn't want to go. He said as much the first night hubby brought it up but I guess my DH and his wife didn't really believe him. Now here's hoping that DH will be home to go. There is a chance that he won't be. I am so going to cry if he isn't. It will so suck!!!!!!!!!

Have a prenatal class tomorrow. Don't know what to expect of it but it is free so I am sure I will learn something.

So had a okay weekend. Saturday was great. Whole day just me, DH and cat. he watched football, I did laundry, cleaned a bathroom, finished binding 2 quilts and took a 2 hour nap. Of course all the chores were before football. But I'm not one for football but hey whatever. Sunday started off good. I did laundry while hubby went golfing. I slept till 8am when my mom called. Guess I was tired. Hubby came home weedeated the yard and then it was Cowboys time. That is where the fun ended. Neighbors came over to watch the game. Now they are nice people but she has been getting on my nerve lately. She has this annoying habit lately of calling me by my given name whenever we get together. I hate that name and my nickname is the one that I chose to go by and the only one that I use unless of course it is for paperwork or at the doctor's cause it is on my chart. Now she hates when people shorten or call her by half of her name and I know that I have asked her not to use my given name. But she insists on doing it. So I just ignore her and stop talking to her when she does it cause it is either that or scream B%^&H stop calling me that.

So hubby will be home for the Jimmy Buffett concert that is the day before I fly home for a couple of weeks without him. I found tickets last night and was going to purchase them, but when we over at neighbor's house on Thursday she heard about it and was oh if you go we'll go. So he wants me to ask her if they are still going. I don't freaking care. They can get their own tickets. I am not paying for them and am not picking them up for them. I don't want to go with them!!!!!! I want to go alone with hubby and not worry about other people. She is starting to remind me alot of the person that used to live next door to me. Always needing to know what we are doing and do we want to do this and oh lets do this. Nope perfectly happy to stay home and be by myself thank you.

Argh here's hoping that they don't go to the concert.

What a fun day was had yesterday in this house. I had a stay in jammies all day day. DH asked me at one point was I going to get dressed at all and the answer was a big fat NO. I felt like a lay around all day in jammies day so I took one. Don't do it very often. Okay well never. But yesterday was a day. I was so freakin' tired. Didn't sleep well the night before. Someone every time I got comfortable would throw his heavy a$$ arm over me and I would be uncomfortable. Then after getting up to pee it was like he was trying to push me out of the bed. So I got up. Today I have lots to do. Laundry, go pay the cell phone bill, go to Walmart and KMart for things and get some me time in. Haha like that is really gonna happen.

But at least I am feeling good with the baby. No sickness and such. Tiredness is starting to wear off but not all the way. Have plane tickets for my one and only trip to the mainland in October. Hubby isn't getting underway for a bit cause of course the boat is broken. Surprise! But he will be home to at least go to my next three appointments this month. So yeah!!

All righty everyone have a great Labor day!

We went baby browsing yesterday at the baby stores they have here. Let me say the first one we went to was like walking in a closet and fearing that you missed something along the way. Won't be going back there I don't think. Then we went to the other one. More like a Babies R Us and what I was looking for in a baby store. DH and I walked around and looked at all kinds of stuff. Strollers, walkers, high chairs, bassinets, cribs, changing tables, dressers, bouncy seats, carriers, car seats and bedding. He was so in shock that this small little baby was going to need so much stuff. Poor poor man. He thought that our crib was going to be the baby's only bed. Well if we had a huge room in this house yes baby could start out right in the crib. But we don't so something smaller that will fit in our room here is going to be needed. Then after we move baby will need lots more stuff then it does here. While here we will need a bassinet, car seat, stroller and travel play yard as they like to call them now for the big stuff. Cause when we leave here baby will be about 2 months old. So baby won't need a high chair here. Baby won't need a walker and most other stuff in this house cause baby won't be here all that long before we are out of here. But at least he knows what is going to be invading his home soon and he and I went together without any input from anyone else.

So now it is time to plan my trip to the normal land to visit family and such while he is underway. First stop see if neighbor minds watching cat and checking the mail for a couple of weeks. Next stop see if families will be home in time frame I am looking at. Cause you know that is always a good thing. Then to buy the tickets. Oh joy.

Have a great week!

Trying there is great news in the teddy houshould!!!! Both hubby and I are excited (finally) that we are pregnant!!!

Found this out on the Tuesday after my last day at work. Such a great birthday, promotion present for us. But an even better way to stop working!!!!

This is a no drug induced pregnant as well. We have been doing fertility for the past 2 years but it wasn't really getting us pregnant. It was working in the other way to get me to ovulate and such but just not the great end result. Go on vacation and not have drugs and come back like this.

It didn't really seem real till Wednesday when we had an ultrasound and saw the baby and the heartbeat!!! So now are truly excitied and on the way to being first time parents.

Feeling great. No morning sickness as of yet. Which is fine for me. It can stay that way for all that I care. All the parents and siblings are shopping up a storm. Me not so much. I think that I will wait for a bit.

Other than that nothing exciting going on out here on the rock.

WOOT WOOT!! I finished working for that awful boss and didn't kill her in the process. So I am officially unemployed. But it doesn't bother me at all!! I hae finished a quilt top since I quit working and am currently working on an afghan for a baby shower next weekend back home and it should be done by Tuesday at the latest. Probably before then though. It is so nice to not have to worry about that place. Plus the funny thing is that they think I will be back there to shop the big sale on the 1st of September. NOT!!! I will be stopping by there on that day to check out the basket class that is going to be going on but shopping the store. Oh hell no!! Have plans on Monday to hang with my friends. Tuesday I have to wait around for the electric people to install something on the water heater. Don't ask me I have no idea. Hubby is supposed to get underway that day but who knows if that will happen. Wednesday nothing, Thursday nothing, Friday potluck at the frame shop for lunch for me!!! Saturday Cg tea at the admiral's house in the afternoon, Sunday stamping all day!!! Man it is nice to have time to be me!!!!

So hopefully with all this free time I have found I will be able to work on my list of quilts to make and put some pages together for my hawaiian scrapbook and well just craft in general. Oh it is going to be great!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

YEAH!!! Only 3 more days at the sucky place!!!! Yup Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which is my last day!!!!!!!! Woot woot!

After the hell of her saying that it wasn't fair to another employee for me to be late after my DH's pinning ceremony I decided that enough was enough. I couldn't stand her lies and two faced being. So that little comment is what drove me over the edge. Isn't it nice. So I am going to be unemployeed. I figure I will go out and look for something again after DH gets underway. We will see. But for now I am going to make it thru this week and then give myself a little break and do some sewing, quilting and crafting to make myself happy again.

YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!

Have a great week!
