Ah, To Be Young Again...

Ok, maybe not THAT young, but who hasn't wished they could turn back time at some point or another. I am having a day where for some unexplained reason, I am missing my happily married days. Maybe it is the fear that I will spend the rest of my life without someone to share it with. Who knows. Things are good, I am now 6 months and heading into the last trimester. I have put on a grand total of about 11 pounds, which is fine with me. As time goes on, my brain is overrun with trying to figure out the logistics of where to put 3 people in a 2 bedroom apartment and how to juggle 2 kids and their 2 dads. Some days I wish my brain had an off switch. I would love nothing more than to be able to purchase a house, but financial circumstances make that impossible at this particular time. Add to that the fact that about 3 weeks ago, my dad fell and cracked his ribs in the bathtub and has yet to return to work, my litttle brain is about overloaded. I need a vacation....

Evan's Christmas Concet

...last night was a huge success. Again this year it was standing room only. He got to play the old man and make his way across the stage. I can't believe how the yeears have gone by, he will be 7 in the spring. Things here are pretty hectic as is par for the course this time of year. For the first year ever, he will be at his dad's for Christmas Eve and I will miss him like crazy Christmas morning. He will return home to me around noon, and then we will open presents and spend the day together. I will be spending Christmas Eve with my friend Laura nd her 2 kids, as her husband is working overnights that night. I am just happy I will not be spending it alone. Guess I better get my ass in gear and finish up my cards to send out, then it is off to the showers and quench the thirst of the bazillion shoppers who will be out tonight...

My Little Elf...

He is MYy reason for the season...:)

Sneak Peek

This is one of our Christmas photos for the 2008 holidays. More to come when I have a spare moment, work is crazy, stupid busy. What do you expect when you're in a mall though? P.S. If it's a girl, I am pretty sure her middle name will be Grace, it was my grandma's middle name...:)

Can You See it Now Ma?

At almost 19 weeks, this is Evan's little brother or sister. The hearbeat today was 144 beats per minute and apparently, it was giving the ultrasound tech some difficulty doing measurements as it was VERY active. I was not able to tell what it is, all that matters is that things are good and it is healthy. As I approach the midway point, I have gained a whopping half a pound. Doc says there is nothing to worry about, lots of women don't put on weight until the second half of theeir pregnancy. Things are good, I am planning on working until it gets to be too much, which will likely be by March sometime. So...any guesses on what it is? Name suggestions? I am open to almost anything...:)

Blah...

I hate winter. I know tchnically it is still fall, but the friggin cold and snow are beginning to hit the north and I have decided in my next life, I shall be a bear. That way, I can sleep through it all. In other news, I got to hear the little one last week for the first time. The heart was at 152 beats per minute, which, if you believe old wive's tales, would lean towards it bein a girl. It makes no difference to me, so long as it is healthy. I have yet to gain any weight and tomorrow marks 16 weeks. There has been a lot goin on the last few weeks, ranging from working overtime due to lack of staff, to a difference of opinions with one or two family members. However, today I am feeling better about things as I have decided that I am in control of my choices and nobody else. Anyway, I go for another ultrasound on the 17th of November, so I will keep you up to date...:)

Little Wonders

I am thankful for my family and friends, without whom I would not have survived the past 2 years and who are more than supportive as I face the next few. The next year wil bring big (little :) changes as well...xo
