188 days left...

So I have officially survived my first trimester of pregnancy... It seems like a blur but that is probably because I slept through about 80% of my summer and about 10% deciding that all the foods I use to love sound about as good as drinking water from an old boot. I am now trying to get ready for Joe's brother to come in town... from the detail about his coming is that he will be in town for about a month but the dates of him staying at are place is up in the air. I am also prepping for the bach. party at my parents cabin, shopping, packing, cleaning decorating, etc. This weekend my mother-in-law will be in town for a semi-high school reunion which is also possibly Joe's brother will be staying with us as well. So more shopping, cleaning, bed making, etc. So I have an intense 2 weeks but after it is all over with it will for sure be nap time :)However back to 188 days left... it is crazy to me that The bump must remind me of how much time I don't have to get ready for our little bundle of joy. I found this count helpful when planing our wedding less then a year ago but it is clear that with every passing day my life is no longer going to be my own. Well I am off to bed again!

Just when you think life cannot get any better

So it has been a long time since my last post but it is crazy how life can change in a blink of an eye. Where to begin the never ending project are continuing and our basement doors are still looking for those final coats of paint but I have convinced my husband the relocation of the TV is not happening until the bath room door is back up... I don't know about you but watching TV while sitting on the toilet is just not classy. Also we are now going on 3 weeks since his brilliant idea to rip out the upstairs bathroom with his Dad before consulting with mine the Plumber. So I have been stumbling to the basement in the middle of the night to use the bathroom... which would not normally be and issue but we also do not have hand rail down the stairs. However the exciting new is that today I am 10 weeks pregnant and feeling better everyday... We are slowing telling family and friends who are so excited it is scary. Our favorite line so far has been 'were you trying' clearly they have forgotten my many times of 'I'm not having kids' statement has slipped there minds. We are both slowly getting use to the idea of having a kid and it is scary to be responsible for another life and praying that I don't mess it up. The most comforting thing I continually tell myself is if 16 yr old kids can do it... so can I : ) I am going to be 26 in a matter of weeks, I have a husband, a house and we have not killed the Guinea Pigs or Dog yet, so its a good start. I do however wonder what kind of mother I am going to be... and if I am going to like being a mom. All things that only time can tell but I wish I could see into the future. I am sure there will be more soon. Heidi

The Weekend

So after an exhausting week of work Friday afternoon we left and hour early to enjoy the much needed sun and warm weather her in MN. I even beat my honey home from work which didn't thrill him because he couldn't sit in his office for a solid 1/2 hr to an hour and 'relax' which is code for stuff a big dip in his lip to cut the edge until I can sneak off and get another... the joys of addiction. I sat on the couch all evening and watch movies I had never seen Romie and Michelle's High School Reunion or Risky Business and I child born in the 80's I thought I should really take the time to view these classics. Joe laugh at me because he has seen both and was the perfect excuse to sit in his office all night... Saturday I was up early to shred as I am also trying to get in shape... what shape I am not sure of but 1 will do... then we (Joe, Morgan the Dog and myself) head out to Joe's dad's house for make some pieces for the fireplace and see his Dad as it has been awhile. We get there just after 10 and not more then a second after our loving and some what sensitive black lab puppy out of the car she is mauled by Dad's dogs... one of the scariest moments in my life... Joe grabs our 40 lb dog the is cry and running for her life and Dad decides to tell us he has train his damn dogs to chase any dogs that come into there land away. WHAT?! who does that... how ever we did stay the day and I had to entertain our dog going for long walks and I end up with a blister. We finally got home and Joe got G-force which I have been asking to see forever and then a romantic dinner which was just Joe talking about how we should redo the kitchen...BLAH BLAH BLAH... at this point whatever. Sunday was Joe's first time to IKEA where we got some new furniture that is just ours and not slightly use and unwanted :) Monday another day at work but just in time to make back the money we spent over the weekend

Ready, Set, Go!

Another rainy day in MN... up early to get another hour of overtime again at work it is crazy how busy you can be with just a couple people missing. It is sometimes hard to be happy and social at work and then come home and do much else... but life never fails I got home a little bit late but Morgan was so excited. She did her normal greeting which is a huge jump off the back of the couch and the slight jumping, whining and the circles in front, around and between my legs. She is a crazy little thing. I also get a new camera and I am so excited. It has been about 2 months so now ever cute thing she does I try and get a photo... I am sure she is loving : ) Joe is even more excited he is the guy who sees the cameras out and takes off before you can get the picture taken. In return he likes to take candid pictures of me in mid sentence which is always so attractive. Well I am off to take more pictures.....
