A sad month

This past weekend was emotionally exhausting, we found out on Friday morning that my hubbies Grandmas best friend which we always referred to as a 2nd Grandma, had passed away. She was battling lung cancer and went from bad to worse in a very short time and even though it was sort of expected that she was going to pass it still came as a shock as most deaths do. Then on Sunday we got a phone call from my inlaws saying that Gma wasn't doing so well and had coded the night before. We were suppose to work at the track that day but it was soooo foggy that we knew we weren't going to be racing for a while so hubby and I went to go see Gma in the hospital. She didn't look good at all, her oxygen was super low and she didn't even really look like she was awake.

Later that day I Jacob had a birthday party to go to, his day home Moms daughters 3rd bday. So we went and tried to have a good time, Dora came to the party too!! She was a big hit with all the kids. There was a face painter there that did a awesome job, so I grabbed one of her cards - maybe next year I will give her a call for Jacobs party. They had pinatas, one of Dora filled with girl stuff and and one of Diego filled with boy type toys. The kids loved picking up all the candy and toys and putting them in their little baggies (another great idea)!! The Mom made the cake, which I think turned out amazing and tasted pretty darn good too!! It was fun, and I think Jacob enjoyed himself too! Then as I was leaving I checked my phone and saw a message from one of hubbies relatives telling me that Gma had passed!?!? I of course didn't believe her right away, I mean we just saw Gma that morning and yes she did look super sick but her oxygen was going up when we left and I had hope that she would get better. Maybe I was naive, as usual, so of course I call my hubby right away and see if he heard anything and he said yes... he got a call from his parents a few hours prior but didn't call me cause he knew I was at the party.

I still feel like it is all too much to handle all at once, I am very overwhelmed, trying to deal with the loss of a great lady that cared a lot for our family and then not even 3 days later the loss of a Grandma that I know loved Jacob more then words and would give anything to see him smile. The funerals are planned for this weekend and the beginning of next week. I just know I'm going to be emotional about it all. I also know that it probably isn't over yet, my Dad is now transferred to a Extended Living place and I have to clean out his house. The reality of how sick he is getting is starting to sink in as well, I feel like one of these days the reality of being alone is going to hit me. All the ones we love are being taken away, some before they even have a chance to get old.

Xmas re-takes

Well, we got our re-takes done and there are 2 that I like, he still isn't smiling in any of them but I suppose that is just the way he is? He has never been a "ham" when it comes to taking photos, the one with the green background is about as big of a smile that he gave the photographer. So now I have make it to the mall to place my order and get my Christmas cards out!! But tonight I have another interview with a day home so I wont be able to make it there till tomorrow~!? I think I'll be lucky if I get the photos by Thursday and get my cards mailed by Friday!! :( Next year I will be more organized, it just seems like Christmas snuck up on us this year!

I had a very busy weekend, it was packed full of Christmas fun! Saturday morning all the Moms came over for a Christmas party for the kiddies. It was fun to see all the kids playing, and socializing. It's neat to see how different each one is even though they are about the same age!? We had a gift exchange ... Jacob got a doctor set! ;) He seems to really like it, it came with a pair of glasses that he tries to put on all the stuffed animals. We also showed him how to put the pretend bandage on one of his toys and we gave it medicine so last night he grabbed the band aid and put it on the bear all by himself - it was cute!

On Sunday my work had a Christmas party for the kids, it was held at one of the hotels in the city that has a water park. This was our first year attending, it was fun except the water in the pool was sooooo cold! Needless to say we didn't swim for very long! Then we went to one of the banquet rooms to wait for Santa and have a late lunch (hot dogs and french fries). We kept asking Jacob if he was going to sit on Santa's lap and he kept shaking his head, it was cute! Jacob got a toy from Santa that already needs to be fixed but I think he had a good time playing with all the other kids.

On Saturday we also had a interview with a new day home, since I'm not too sure I like the one he is at right now. This new one seemed very good but of course costs more!? I have 2 more interviews before deciding which one I like. I feel bad for the day home lady that he is with right now .... I feel like maybe we aren't giving her enough of a chance, he has only been there for 6 days (2 weeks - 3 days each week) but he just seems like such a different kid from his last day home!? I plan on telling her tomorrow that we are looking for a new day home. Friends of ours also came over Saturday night which was nice, Jacob likes playing with his friends and it gives me something to do!

FINALLY !!! A full nights sleep!!! :)

Above are a few pics from the Moms group Halloween party, it was so hard to get pictures of all the kiddies - they don't sit still very long and it seems like when they are still it's cause they are eating and have messy faces!! :) The party was good, and if it wasn't for one of the Moms stepping up and volunteering her house I don't think the party would have happened!? Some Moms are very concerned about H1N1 and didn't even want to come out if anyone even had a sniffle!? I'm not saying that H1N1 isn't something to laugh about but I don't want to live in a bubble and I don't think Jacob should either! So the next get together will probably be for Christmas and I am already excited!! :)

So .... not sure if you read the title of this but FINALLY last night we had a FULL night sleep!! From 9pm till 6:30am!!! It was amazing, he woke at about 3am and I heard him whining a bit but he just fell back asleep !! I hate to say it but I think hubby might have been right about the bed!!!??! Yesterday we put a fluffy comforter on his bed and covered it up with another fuzzy sheet so the bed was a little softer then before. Maybe that is why? I guess we will find out tonight!?!? If he sleeps through the night again tonight then I guess Jacob just likes a softer bed? I also finally found the "Huggies bedtime" diapers and decided to buy a pack (they were on sale and I had a $3.00 off coupon) they are suppose to be more absorbent. I must say .... they SUCK!!! :( Jacob woke up this morning with wet pj's because his diaper couldn't absorb anymore! Which is kinda funny cause he didn't even wake up during the night for a bottle and before I was using "Pampers Baby Dry" and never changed him in the middle of the night and they didn't make his pj's wet! I think we are sticking to Pampers Baby Dry - they seem to absorb way better!!

Finally, below is a pick of all the kiddies at the Halloween party, all of Jacobs friends! It was soooo hard to get a good pic! Jacob is squishing Kayden (red parrot) and the rest of the kids are crying, Izzy (in all white) is suppose to have a red hat that looks like a mushroom top. It was crazy! Next time we will have to figure out how to get a good pic!?

Finally some PICS!!! :)

Yup that's right ... it's picture time!! Don't ask me how I did it cause it's a long story of uploading/ downloading/ file sharing hoopla~!! But I somehow managed to get some pictures on here!

My little walking man!! He's still a little clumsy resulting in bumps and bruises on his forehead but I guess that's part of the learning curve! He now tries to put his hands down to stop himself but sometimes he is just clumsy! ;)


We have to put the dog dishes up or outside, Jacob seems to really enjoy playing with them! I thought this was cute!

His 1st haircut and he didn't do too bad, he wasn't scared until she brought out the little razor to do around his ears.

It's like he's saying ... "please help me Mommy!" He's so sad! :(

We celebrated his Birthday yesterday with supper and a mini party, just us and the in laws. They bought him a new sandbox, which he seems to really enjoy (even after seeing how it taste!), we gave him a small gift as well (mega block fire hall) and we had a small cake!

He didn't do too bad with the cake and was about to dive into it until Dad gave him a spoon! So he wouldn't get too messy!! Dad can be such a tart sometimes, it's not like he had to clean up after!? O - well, his big party is this weekend so I'm sure he will have another chance to get into his cake! Tonight is Jacobs professional pictures (which I'll have to try and hide a few bruises for) and I need to pick up things to make the grab bags! I think there is suppose to be about 10 kids coming!! :o

One day done .... lots more to go!

Well, my first day wasn't too bad I suppose!? I sure didn't miss rush hour traffic and since my store has changed locations since last year I "tried" going home a new way and should have stuck to the old way cause I ended up on the wrong highway and had to go into the city and really deal with rush hour traffic!! I find it hard to get everything done and feel very rushed at the end of my work day! Maybe it's just cause I have lots to do before Jacobs party on Saturday but I think I need to work on my time management!! Now I have to do all the things I used to take all day to do (laundry, grocery shopping, house work, etc.) in only 6 hours! Four little hours .... that's all I get now with Jacob! By the time I get home from work (about 5ish) and by the time he goes to bed, so I must make the best of weekends!!

Yesterday was pretty hard for both of us and by the time I saw him after work he was stuck to me like glue and wouldn't let me out of his site!! It makes me feel loved and sad that I can't be with him. Today was better then yesterday and he didn't even cry when I left, he reached out as if to say please don't go but there were no tears, so that is good! Hubby worked on the computer yesterday and said he was able to get the picture file, I'm so happy I never lost them! But that's all he's been able to get into! This virus is a nasty one!! Today he is suppose to work on the basement and it better be close to being done by the time I get home!! There really isn't that much left to do, maybe two days worth of hard work!

I forgot how slow it is at my job, which is kinda nice cause I feel like I'm on a holiday but the more down time I have the more I think about Jacob! As I said before this week is busy, yesterday after supper we had a toy party to go to and before we left Jacob fell and bumped his head (now there is a big goose egg!), I have pictures booked for tomorrow but now I'm wondering if I should cancel cause the goose egg is pretty big but then I think there will always be something so maybe I should just keep the appointment!? Thursday I need to go buy stuff for the party on Saturday and start preparing food cause I will have no time on Friday. Friday I am headed straight from work to the the track the Saturday is the party and I will have to set up decorations and finish making salads and grab bags! Makes me tired just thinking about it all!! :P Tonight I should call family that hasn't RSVP'd yet, but the list is really long and we are going out for dinner and having a mini party for Jacobs birthday. Today he is 1, and I forgot to wish him a Happy Birthday before I left this morning!! I feel like such a horrible Mom!! :( I'm not sure if I will have time to call all the family that hasn't replied so I guess I'm just suppose to assume they aren't coming? My brother is on that list and that pisses me off!! He's so lazy, it doesn't surprise me but I will be mad if he doesn't come to his only nephews 1st birthday!!

Anyway, I guess I should get back to "work" (it's so much easier then being at home but boring, I don't consider it work to be here). I want to move my computer from the center of the counter to the corner so that people can't tell that I'm slacking !! LOL

Time flies

I know it's been a while since I posted but I've been kinda busy, my weeks are full of visits and errands, which is nice and what little time I do have is usually spent on Facebook. So usually every Monday we meet with the Mom group and now swimming has started so that is every Tues and Thurs. Lately I have started meeting up with one of my girlfriends on Wed to walk the mall (since it is too cold outside) and lately the weekends our friends have been coming over.

I mentioned last week about the Moms Biggest Loser contest, well I paid my $40 and got weighed in my initial weigh in (according to another Moms scale) was 219lbs !! I weighed in on my scale and it only said 214 so I am using that number for my weekly weigh in's to see how much I lost and the final weigh in will be done on other Moms scale. So for week 1 I an down -4.2lbs which is 1.96% weight loss, not bad better then some Moms but not as good as the others. I am back on NS but not quite as strict as I was the first time I was on (last year). For example we had a birthday party at our house on Sat and we deep fried a turkey, I made chili and there were other snack type foods. Well I partake in all of that plus had a piece of ice cream cake. Before I would have never let myself get off track and would have stuck to my NS diet, but I was still able to loose over 4lbs so I'm happy with that! As for exercise, I'm really not doing much except swimming and walking the mall, not yet anyway.

Jacob is doing great - he had an odd day last Sat with absolutely NO naps ALL day (which was weird) but he wasn't even really cranky and he went to bed super late. He isn't drinking much milk at all now and is much more interested in what I am eating. I am now giving him finger type foods like toast strips and rice cookies. Soon I think I will give him steamed veggies and see if he likes them, I am trying to introduce the sippy cup but he really doesn't understand how to get the liquid out, I'm sure it will happen soon? He likes to drink out of a cup without the sippy part but I have to hold the cup for him and he sometimes wears more then he drank.

O - I hear him waking, which is good - we have to leave for swimming in 30 min! Better go get his bag packed and maybe give him a snack!?

5 months old!

5 months already! I can hardly believe it has gone by so fast, Jacob has changed a lot since the day we brought him home and yet some things are still the same. The way he stretches when he is waking up is still the same as the day we brought him home, he is still a snacker and only eats 4oz but every hour or two. He still has 2-3 naps a day but they are a little shorter then before (only lasting about 30min). He is becoming quite the little character, I love going into his room in the morning and seeing his excitement to see someone, he throws his hands in the air and kicks his feet - it's so cute and makes me feel like he loves me! He is sitting up much better now and we are still working on the rolling over. He arches his back when he is laying down so I think we are pretty close to making some movement!

We got him weighed on Friday and he is now 19lbs 13oz, 25 1/2" long ! I was hoping to clean out my car this weekend and get his new car seat in but I was too tired and I caught my hubbies cold. Jacob still hasn't caught it yet and I'm hoping he doesn't or if he does that it is after Wed cause that is picture day!

We have our last swim class on Tuesday, which I'm kinda sad about - once again just as I was getting to know the other moms the class is over! Wednesday is family picture day, Thursday I am going to go visit my Mom and today we have lunch with the moms from my mom group. Today is my niece's birthday, I bought a card for her but haven't mailed it yet so I will mail it today but she still probably won't get it till Wed?

Our pot luck party went well, some people stayed really late (3am) which made the next day really hard but hubby has been overly eager to do things for me - it's kinda freaking me out!? On Sunday after the party I went downstairs to try and clean up and he kicked me out saying he would clean up, he did the dishes and vacuumed! All night he was jumping every time I needed something, and this morning was kinda the same he woke up and emptied the dishwasher, washed the dishes and asked if he could do anything else?! I'm kinda thinking that he is only doing it cause he feels guilty and doesn't want the guilt talk and I do enjoy all the help but he doesn't seem very happy?

Anyway - I posted a pic of Jacob and his Grandpa, it was from this weekend and I thought it was super cute! You can almost see the love in his Grandpa's face!

things thus far....

Note to self: must remember to go to baby class tomorrow!!

So I thought I would mention a few things that have been going on lately. Jacob is growing like a weed and is getting much more entertaining everyday! I have had to go through his closet again and box up outfits that no longer fit. He will be three months next week and is right on track with the size of clothes ~ he is now wearing 3-6 month outfits. I absolutely love his little laugh that is still a little rare to hear ~ he will giggle all the time and coo but only have a full out laugh about once a day. I'm sure that the older he gets the more he will laugh, I'm not even sure he knows what he is laughing about right now!? He has now discovered his hands and I think is completely amazed that they are attached to him, sometimes he will look at his fist and follow his arm as far as he can see then go back to the hand as if he's saying "what the heck is this thing and when did it get here?"

We went swimming on the weekend to a free Mom and tot class, it was fun but more for toddlers then babies. It sure tuckered Jacob out though, he of course fell asleep in the car seat on the way home and I just left him in the seat while I unpacked our bags and he was snoring away so I just let him sleep. After an hour in the car seat I figured I should get him up or else he may not sleep that night but I was wrong, he fell asleep at 8pm and didn't wake up till 6am!!! That's 10 hours!!! :o We need to go swimming more often! he he

Jacob is now consistently sleeping at least 8 hours every night but he likes to go to bed at 8:30pm, then he's up at 4:30 -5am (ish) for a bum change and feeding then we put him back in his crib, sometimes he will fall back asleep till 7:30am and sometimes he will just lay in his crib cooing and talking (it keeps us awake but it's super cute to listen to).

We also had my nephews birthday party to go to on Sunday, Jacob was a little cranky this day and I think he is really turning into a "mommas boy" cause every time I would leave the room he would cry. Today Jacob seems to be more tired then usual, maybe it is from the busy weekend ~ with the swimming and missing his naps or maybe I over stimulated him with all the kids at the party running around yelling? But it was a fun weekend and I'm sure he will get back into his routine in no time. I like having a routine but I don't want to be so stricked about it that it is hard for him to adapt without one?

Today we are going out for dinner for a friends birthday and asked the inlaws to babysit Jacob while we are out. I asked for them to come here cause I think it will be easier, instead of packing up food, diapers, toys, change of clothes, etc. I'm hoping that we won't be out too late cause this will be the first time he is left with a sitter for longer then an hour. And even though I completely trust my inlaws I still worry but I think that is a mom thing or at least a 1st time mom thing! ;) I posted a few pics again the first is him smiling and the one below is him swimming in Grandpa's hot tub, he seems to really enjoy the water!

2 kids!?

Well lots has been happening but once again I will probably have to make this a quick post, baby is once again sleeping but that can change at any moment!! ;)

Lately our dog has been acting like an only child that isn't getting the attention she once did before baby Jacob arrived! Which is probably true, we haven't really been spending too much time with her and she is definitely letting us know! The other day hubby asked me if she has ever gone into the garbage bags that we set outside, and I told him no - she's never gone in the trash, ripping bags open and checking out what is in them. We assumed it was a bird or cat that did it ... cleaned up the mess and decided we would now double bag our garbage. Well hubby went out today to run some errands and when he got home the garbage that he had just re-bagged was again spread on the driveway .... the culprit was obviously the dog since she had been outside all morning and would have chased away any animals in our yard! I'm surprised - she has never gone into garbage before but it made me realise that she is acting like a only child that is all of a sudden not getting the same attention as before and if doing bad things will get her that attention then she feels like that is what she needs to do!! grrrr - it's very frustrating.

I had Jacob's baby shower on the weekend, there was a huge turn out - probably 50 people. Jacob got tons of gifts, mostly clothes (in bigger sizes, which is really good) we also got a few gift cards and a few toys. I think everyone got a chance to hold him, some more then others, I was expecting him to be very grumpy from being passed around but surprisingly he did very good and only fussed when he was wet, hungry or gassy (as usual). We did stay later then expected so I am still trying to catch up on my missed sleep. The hubbies aunt and cousin took tons of pics, which I can't wait to see and when I do I will definitely post some pics!

I can't believe how big Jacob is already and he is only 5 weeks old! At the 2am and 5am feeding I actually have a hard time caring him cause I'm so tired and feel like I have no strength. I couldn't imagine giving birth to a baby his size now (almost 10lbs) ...which does happen. I lay him on my tummy and think there is no way he would fit in there now but people do carry big babies~? August long weekend we are kinda going camping, there is a big slow pitch tournament in a small town a couple hours away that we go to every year. It's kinda like a family reunion (on the hubbies side) and we have some fun playing ball while we are there. So that will be our first trip away from home with Jacob, I am already making a list of all the things I will need and that list is really long!! I'm hoping that I don't forget anything but I suppose if I did it's not like we are camping, I could run to Wal mart and pick up what ever I forgot. Hopefully everything goes well and he adjusts to being away, which I'm sure he will cause he doesn't really have a schedule/ routine yet and doesn't really know that his bed is his bed - as long as you hold him he will fall asleep. Now when he is 14 months (next year) we might have more issues!?

O - we also got professional pics done of Jacob to hand out at the shower, I wasn't too happy with them but they were cheap so what do you really expect? I just know that next time we won't be using Wal mart, maybe we will try Sears? Anyway I will post a few of my favorite pics from them, tell me what you think! Better go now, if I want to get some sleep before he wakes up!! :)

It's Friday .... I think ~?

Everyday feels like a Saturday to me .... it's so hard to figure out what day it is, not that it matters much - as long as I remember to go to any appointments! ;) Things are going well, a little update .... we were waiting to tell people until we found out more info so now that I know the whole story I can tell you. At Jacob's first doctor appointment she noticed that he had a heart murmur, which I kinda assumed he would have (most babies do) and she asked us to come back after the weekend so she could check him again. So two days later I drive all the way back to see her (about a 45 minute drive) and she tells me that it is still there and recommends that we go see a specialist at the Stollery Hospital for kids. She arranged an appointment for us and the next week we were off to the kids hospital - I was a little worried but not too bad, I had faith that it wasn't going to be serious but there was still the fear that maybe something bad could be wrong? Well we found out that it is an "innocent murmur" which means absolutely nothing, it means he is healthy and can do everything that other little boys do but if we ever go to another doctor we should tell them about it just to avoid unnecessary tests. They also say that he should grow out of it, so there is nothing to worry about.

That was the biggest event so far with Jacob, I feel like he is definitely thickening up, I bet he is probably a pound or more then he was at birth? I plan on going to the health clinic to get him weighed at one month. He is eating about 3 1/2 - 4 oz per feeding, which I think is good. We were having a little trouble planning his baby shower, it seemed like no one wanted to step up to the plate to organize it?! My SIL said she would but after weeks went by with no plans we decided to tell her not to worry about it, by the time she gets around to planning one Jacob will be crawling!?! :o So instead we are combining my MIL's "meet the baby BBQ" with some what of an unofficial baby shower. I don't think people will be expected to bring gifts (although that would be nice!), it will be more of a family/ friend get together, a social event~! So far I think she has invited 70 people with about 45 replying "yes", I think it will be a nice/ fun but very stressful/ exhausting event!! Jacob gets pretty fussy when passed around too much, he kinda likes to get comfy and stay there, so I'm expecting him to get grumpy from 40 people wanting to hold him and coddle him - which in turn will make me very grumpy! I get pretty irritated when he is cranky and I can't do anything to help him out. I just have to remember that it is only for one day and I just have to get through it! :P

Not much has changed in the weight loss area, I am still at 190lbs which is 25lbs lighter then when I went into the hospital but I still have 20lbs to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight! I try to go for a walk everyday (at least 30 minutes) and I am watching more of what I eat - not really dieting but just making sure I get my fruits and veggies. I also realize that it has only been 3 weeks since his birth and I shouldn't expect to loose it all in a few weeks but I feel like maybe I should be doing more to shed the pounds? Maybe once he can do more it will be easier to get the weight off cause we could go to the park or go swimming. I will be chasing him more and not just sitting on the floor giving him raspberries/ zerberts!! ;) he he

Happy Hoildays!! :)

Our bowling Christmas party went really good, there was tons of door prizes but we didn't win anything (as usual) even though my FIL had just as many tickets as he is tall!! He probably bought about $30 worth of tickets (at 3 for a dollar) but it was all for a good cause, all the money raised was being donated to a charity. We didn't get out of the bowling alley till midnight so it made for really long night. I wasn't playing too well either, I think I only got my average once!

Well as per my ticker I am now officially done my 13th week and only 189 days away from my due date!! In just a few more weeks I will be half way there - I think that is amazing! Hopefully after the holidays we will get a start on the basement, I give my hubby till March/ April to finish the basement, which should be lots of time!! And then that will give us May/June to get the nursery all set up! I was looking at cribs on the Internet the other day (from Toys R us) and found one I really like but I was wondering if it might be better to order it on line instead of at the store? With our dollar as good as it is, I noticed that on the .com site the price was about half as much as the .ca site! And there were way more choices on the US site then Canada one! Hubby says it depends on where the crib is made cause we may have to pay brokerage and duty and stuff that would add up to the same amount anyway but I'm thinking that if we are going to order on line we should probably do that right away cause it might take months to get here? Here are some pics of the crib I like:

I really like the fact that the crib grows with the child and it is really the only bed you need to buy your child for at least the first 6 - 8 years of their life!? I also really like the sleigh look to it and the feet on the legs. It is called the "Da Vinci Kalani Crib" on the US site it is $399.99, which I don't think is too bad of a price considering the bed will be used for the first 6 or so years? But I couldn't find this crib on the Canada site so maybe its not even available to us? Even if it was I'm sure it would cost more!!

I'm also pretty sure that you have to buy the side rails separate and probably the bed rails too? The change table that matches this set is also nice, but is an extra $269.99, it sure adds up fast!! I'm not sure if this change table has enough drawer space though and it might be better to go with the bigger dresser/ change table but of course that will cost even more! So many decisions!! :) But fun ones!

Well that's about all for today, I'm not sure if I will be able to post again till after all the festivities so Merry Christmas to everyone!! Hopefully everyone has an excellent holiday!? :)

Winter has arrived!!

Well the snow has finally started falling and doesn't look like it will be stopping anytime soon!? I'm still freezing, all the time! My boss brought in a "space heater" for me today, it is right behind me giving off it's radiant heat! It seems to be helping so far.

Sorry I didn't write yesterday but it was a busy day at work, we were short staffed which didn't give me much free time - I actually had to do a little work! ;) My weekend was good, Friday night we went to that Christmas party. It was really neat, there was about 30 other small businesses there and they even gave out some door prizes (of course we didn't win any), the meal was fantastic (roast, salmon, pasta and a mixture of veggies, salads and potatoes). Our table was right next to the dance floor so it was a little loud for me and the hubbies friends were pretty nice but we still didn't stay too late. Saturday I didn't do too much, cleaned the kitchen and waited for Denise and her husband to come over for a quick visit. Then on Sunday I got my hubby to drag the tree upstairs and I set it up and decorated it! Now we are ready for Christmas, except for gifts .... I still need to go shopping! :)

Today is a pretty gaggy day, I keep thinking that I will need to run to the bathroom. It's funny how just when you think you are over the worst of it... it comes back! I just keep hoping that I only have another two weeks of this yuck feeling and then hopefully I will be able to really enjoy this pregnancy!? But for now I have to say.... I think I'm only having one! ;)

Happy Friday !! :)

Well, I think I over did it yesterday. Thursday night is bowling night and I had to "pre-bowl", pre-bowling is for when you know you are going to be missing a day and instead of them giving you your doe score (90% of your average) you actually get whatever you 'pre-bowled'. So December 6th I will be missing bowling night cause my MIL wants to go to a Partylite open house where there are usually really good blow out sales for old stock that our consultant has. She doesn't like the drive in the winter and I really like going too so I will drive! Anyway, so this is why I had to pre-bowl and last night not only were we suppose to bowl right next to vacant lanes but the team we were suppose to bowl didn't show up so I figured it would be a good night to get my bowling done! This means that not only did I bowl our regular 3 games that we do every week but I also bowled 3 games for Dec. 6th!! I am now feeling it, my one leg is sore and my back is killing me! Maybe I should have went on a different day to pre-bowl? I'm the type of person that believes - why make two trips when you can do it all in one!? and I usually pay the price for this thinking but at least I only had to do it once! ;)

We got our tickets yesterday for the Christmas party tonight, the tickets say "Dress - Business casual" WTH does that mean? I don't know what to wear, I don't want to be too dressed up but I don't want to be the only one there in jeans either? I will probably try and fit into my dress pants and a nice top but if they are too uncomfortable then I might have to wear a dress? Too bad it was such short notice, I could have went shopping!! :) It sounds like it should be a fun night but since I'm so sore today I don't think we will be staying too late? We will see how the night goes.
