Having a Little Fun Figuring Things Out.

This morning I got up and decided there were some things that needed cleaned, organized and put together around the house.  I have only been up for an hour and a half and I have- cleaned the shower, taken a shower, done two loads of laundry, picked up the office, organized (well half organized) the finance book, cleaned up the coffee table, and my favorite....put the clean padding on the carseat! 
I was having a little trouble with the harnesses on the carseat, one was a bit looser than the other.  So I decided "I need a body in this thing".  I have my three favorite dolls from growing up, stuffed away in the guest closet: Baby, Kathryn That Can Walk (don't ask), and Rainbow Brite.  Since baby is about the size of a 3lb preemie I immediately knocked her out, Rainbow Brite is about the size of a 3 month old, so I thought she was too big.  It turns out that Kathryn That Can Walk is pretty close to a newborn size (probably about a 6 or 7 lb size (at least that is what I guessed).

I took K.T.C.W. and put her in the car seat.  With some menuevering and a lot of yanking and pulling I finally got the dang thing even and taught on both sides.  K.T.C.W looks so cute in the seat now!  I think I might just have to keep her in there for a while! hahaha!  Aaron will probably think this is creepy when he wakes up. oh well! hahaha

I'm BAAAACCCCKK!!!!

Wow...after a VERY long hiatus (sorry vicki), I am finally back, and hope to be (fingers crossed) a good blogger, staying consistant in my posts! 

The last time I posted was in July and little did Aaron and I know, but we had a big surprise waiting for us that month.  On August fifth we found I was/am PREGNANT!  What an exciting event!  This, ladies and gentlemen, is one main reason why I have been so bad!  No I don't have an excuse like "I was vomiting left and right and good barely drag my butt out of bed" becuase I had a great first trimester, with no sickness (enter all the women  of the world who struggled with this, letting out a loud "DANG THAT WOMAN!!!").  Honestly though, there is a reason why I wasn't sick and I am sure it's because God knew that I would have been the most miserable person to deal with.  I don't throw up...well at least not in recent history and so to think about that being a daily occurance frightens me, and then I let out a big sigh of relief and thank God that I did not have to deal with that.  Whew!

Onward- we are approaching week 16 here (yes I know time is flying...yeah right I wish!) which means another check up on Tuesday morning and hopefully the scheduling of the sonogram that will (fingers crossed again) determine the sex of the baby!  !!!!!   !!!!   !!!!!  AHH!  I am so excited!  I have been a lot more pacient about this coming event than I thought I would be however, it still sits in the back of my mind...or the front, as everyone is starting to ask "what are you having?"  - 'I don't know yet'  - "Do you have a prefernce as to what you want?" - 'Nope, neither of us do, we see great characteristics in either gender, so we are equally excited for both!'  Is my typical answer.... then of course the very next question is "When are you going to find out?"  Well people, we are hoping that we will know right around Thanksgiving!  Isn't that perfect?!!!   I am thinking that we are going to be hush on it until our traditional "what are your thankful for this year", table rounding on that Thursday.  I think I will make everyone else say something first and demand that we are last!   MOOHAHHAHA MOOHAHAHAH! (enter Dr. Evil) hahah! 

Ok that is way too much for you to read, so I will sign off for now.

Peace Out!
