It's a baby!

Well there are no doubts about it, there is for sure a bun in the oven. And shockingly I measured at 7 weeks. I was thinking I was about 5 but 7 wow! That makes the baby's due date Nov. 15, 2010. I got to see it's little heart beating, it was at 143 bpm. Truely such an amazing site to see. I am so very excited about this now. We told the girls and they are happy. Lilly is so excited to be a big sister, she wants a baby brother, I think Madeline is leaning towards another sister.

Still seeing double

2 lines that is. I took the other home test that came in the box this morning just to be really really sure. Sure enough they were there. Wow this is really happening, I'm pregnant again. Boy it has been so long since the last time. Lilly is almost 6 now, Madeline will be 9. Oy! I don't have any baby stuff except for the crib/ bed. What an adventure this will be. I called the doctor and have an appointment to get a sonogram to determine my due date on the 29th. I can't wait!

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

What a shock I got today, two pink lines when I peeded on a little stick. The thought that I was pregnant never entered my mind, that was until I smelled my husband's lunch and made a bee line for the bathroom to vomit from the smell of it. The only time that those smells bothered me was when I was pregnant. I had thought that I just caught the stomach bug that was going around my daughter's school. I am in complete shock here. I didn't even think that this was possible with Ed having gone through all his cancer treatments. I'm happy don't get me wrong, but just.....wow!

My feet thank you Sock Buddy

Woo hoo, I love getting snail mail. Even better when it is a package that contains a gift for me! On one of my favorite boards that I belong to we do a number of exchanges during the year. This month someone started a sock exchange, well I just had to join that one. Today I got a package from Sock Dreams. OMG I love this site and can forsee myself using it in the very near future. My buddy went above and beyond the requirements for the exchange by sending Madeline & Lillian a pair of socks each too. Ok, so I bet that you are dying to know what these wonderful socks look like, don't worry you will a little bit later in this post.

I was never one to buy myself socks, I would just buy my husband a ten pack and use those. Well now that my tootsies and footsies have expirenced such bliss, I don't think I could go back to his socks now. The socks I recieved are so very comfortable, and they actually fit me well, and they are cute to boot. I really think that I am going to put treating myself to something I like into pratice here and there. I think I deserve it. Kids be damned, you have enough stuff already mommy needs some new clothes. (lol)

Still in shock!

This unit was stressing me out a little bit and I just had a sinking feeling on my Charting and Cavity Classification exam, so with a heavy heart I turned it in. Flash forward a bit and I log on and go to see my grade for the exam. I got a 100% I teared up a bit. I couldn't believe it, nor could I believe that I actually let out a little squeal of delight, and did a happy chair dance.

100th Day of School

Well it seems in kindergarten they make a big to do about the 100th Day of School. Lilly had to do a special 100 items project, so she made this.



Her teacher asked for a voulnteer to make a cake for the class party. I jumped at the chance and came up with this. I hope the kids enjoy it.

Enter stage right

After many hugs, kisses and please, please, PLEASES I gave in. So this spring I will be dancing with Lillian for sure, Mads is still up in the air about it, in the Mother Daughter dance at the girl's recital. This is the first time I will be doing it. Hope I don't make an ass out of myself on stage. It has been years since I was up on a stage. I can't wait to tell some of the other moms that I will be doing it with them this year, they have been bugging me for the past 4 years now to join them. I wonder if I should start stocking up on the Ben Gay.
