This, That and the Other...

Okay, this post is LONG overdue and I really have no excuse other than busy! I had an U/S on 7/21 and darn it all – they couldn’t find the heartbeat – so I got to have another U/S and the baby is looking SO much more like a baby!!! And the little arms were moving :) ….soooo cute!!!



I’ve been feeling really great – but at the end of July I did get nauseous a few times before my next acupuncture appt. I guess going 4 weeks was too long between visits. I go back in 3 weeks this time, just to get me over the hump! I know how lucky I am to be feeling good! Here is my current bump! I'm rounding out on top for sure.




My BIG News??? I’M IN MY SECOND TRIMESTER – WHOOO HOOO!!

On July 27th we went to Como Park/Como Town with my Nephews, Sister, Aunt and Mom. The boys had so much fun, as did we :). They are getti:)g SO big, I still can’t believe they are going to be 5 and 7 soon!

Kari and I






I went yard saling (is that a word?) with my friend Lori this weekend – after 6 or so yard sales and after convincing her and her hubby that our babies (she is 3 wks ahead of me) needed Hardee’s for breakfast, we went separate ways and I stopped at one more yard sale. I hit the JACKPOT! I got 33 things for $13.00 and everything was the right season. I was soooo psyched!!! The couple I bought the clothes from didn’t find out what they were having and so had tons of gender neutral clothes, which is exactly what I wanted :) - DH and I agreed that we are not finding out the sex of the baby - extra incentive on pushing day :). Some of my awesome finds:









This is my favorite - it was just what I was looking for to keep baby all toasty!



When I got home from yard saling, Mike and I painted the baby’s room – light yellow (Lemon Spritz) on top and darker yellow (Bumblebee) on the bottom – it’s perfect :)!! I ordered the chair rail this morning and the baseboard. I have to paint both of those when they come in – but I can’t wait to get the room all together!

Right now my entire office (the soon to be baby’s room) is in our dining room. Normally, who cares, however! our A/C went out today ARRRGGHH – it’s 90 out. So, Mr. Fix-it man gets to see all the glory of our remodel! Oh well. I’m not looking fwd to tomorrow – there was a burnt smell coming from the A/C – so something has burned out and the unit is 18 years old…I’m smelling $$$ along with that burnt smell :(

And I have to take Dash to the vet in the morning. THAT, is always fun!

My next Dr. appt is August 18th :) hope it goes perfectly! It’s hard to keep positive that everything is okay, when you don’t really have many symptoms! (again, not complaining, just saying!)

Thanks for reading - I'll try to update more often!!!
