Catching Up....a real live Sunday Update!
Friday-May 29-Fun Day (carnival at school) Totally beat, came home and went to sleep!
Saturday-May 30-James and Missy's House-We had a good time just hanging out. Missy, Christy (another friend) and I went to the mall & Target and walked around. I got a new pair of flip flops & a new bathing suit! We had shish-ka-bobs off the grill and played Wii. Tim, Pete, and James went and saw Star Trek in the morning. Trevor is the cutest kid currently in my life & we love him to pieces! At one point I asked him to say "Thank You" and James was like, "did you just correct my kid?" I said, "yep!" Missy said, "nope, she just corrected her godson! " Aww...that might be the first time Missy has called him MY godson, in 2 years. Technically, Tim is the godfather & another girl named Jennifer is the godmother...but we're more involved in his life. Trevor was ALL about his Auntie Stevie this weekend!
Sunday-May 31-Slept in until 11:30, putzed around the house until 12:30, cleaned a bit, bummed, ate egg salad for lunch and am currently making chicken wings & fries for dinner. I managed to get laundry done, and put away, the guest room straightened & vacuumed, we closed the vent in there & are keeping that room closed off for now, vacuumed our room, the hall, and the living room, & swept the kitchen. Tim played Half Life 2 and beat the whole game today & now he's doing the mountain of dishes. Fun stuff. At least the house isn't a stinky pig sty anymore!
(16)Monday-June 1--I am SERIOUSLY behind on getting the Girl Scout Court of Awards together. I really think I'm going to skip the ceremony & just have a party & give out the awards. I've not got it in me to do much more! I'll be at work late & will miss my now regular afternoon nap. Wish me luck!
(15)Tuesday-June 2 SIMS 3 COMES OUT! I plan on getting the game on my way home from work & then doing nothing. I wish I could skip work this day & just play, play, play, but I need to be there to remind my kids about the field trip.

Busy Bee
Well, today's been somewhat productive.
We woke up early...it took some "encouraging" from Tim but I finally got up around 7:30.
Tim showered & headed to WaWa and Farm Fresh. We needed eggs, water, and milk, and he bought breakfast at WaWa.
When he got back, I made some scrambled eggs for me & we played with baby names for a bit. We were supposed to do it yesterday but I was too worn out from Fun Day at school. (Just the heat-I didn't do anything & I drank water & gatorade like a crazy person!)
Then he had to leave to go to the movies to see Star Trek w/ James and another friend. I spent a lot of time online, doing much of nothing. The new Sims 3 comes out on Tuesday & OMG I cannot wait! We got to play a preview of it at the mall last weekend & I about fainted!
When I got off the computer (around 10) I spent about 30 minutes reading Harry Potter 3 (making my way through the series to get ready for the July new movie release!) and laying in bed some more.
Then I got up, got somewhat dressed (shorts & a sports bra--I'm hot!) and started cleaning.
I got all the toys off the floor/bed in the nursery & got it cleaned up & ready to vacuum. I straightened up my bathroom & got it looking decent. I straightened up our bathroom & got rid of all the trash. I made the bed & got all the clean clothes in our room piled up to be put away. I got all the dishes out of the bedroom & office, piled up and ready to go to the kitchen. I got all the trash out of the office and back of the house. Our bedroom, hall, and nursery are all ready to vacuum. I straightened the living room & got it ready to vacuum too. I didn't do much in the kitchen except put away food where I could & clean up the trash.
Anyway, I'm ready to get a shirt on, brush my hair, and head to Missy's house. Tim is probably out of the movies & on his way back there by now too!

Coming Home Outfits
There was a thread on diaperswappers about coming home outfits & it got me to looking around. My mom love's her Annie's Attic catalogues and I definitely want mom to make the baby's coming home outfit. So, from the catalogue so far, I found these two.
What do you think? Want to look around and shoot me the link to ones you like better? Go for it!

Updates & Stuff
Well...I'm officially 17 weeks pregnant...moving right along! The baby is approximately the size & weight of a turnip.
Tim and I have a fun new game....when we're in the grocery store, we find whatever this week's produce is & compare it to my belly! We've been doing it since the week of the lemon...it's kind of amazing!
So, the nausea is (and was) for real gone. That day I had the migraine and threw up (Thursday of SOL testing week) was just from the migraine. That is the one and only time I threw up this entire pregnancy. (knockonwood) I've been able to eat pretty much whatever I wanted. My taste buds are changing (or at least are more sensitive) and some things don't taste as good to me anymore.
I'm tired a lot still and have been taking afternoon naps as often as I can. I also get wore out pretty quickly and can't do a whole bunch without breaks.
Dehydration is our number one concern right now, since I seem to be having a serious problem with it. I have to drink tons of water & gatorade to stay hydrated. The gatorade seems to be really helping and since I started it, I haven't had any more miserable days.
I still pee every 45 minutes-an hour and that's annoying. Sometimes I feel like I've REALLY got to go and then just a trickle comes out, other times I gush and gush and go for what seems like for-ever!
I don't know if I mentioned that Tim felt the baby move, I think it was on Sunday. I'm feeling flutters pretty regularly as long as I'm still and paying attention. I can't wait for kicks that I can feel no matter what. I'm sure by October I'll wish the baby would just hold still, but I am so looking forward to feeling the little baby wiggle and squirm.
I'm having awful nightmares. Very vivid dreams about the baby, on a regular basis. One night I dreamt I miscarried into the toilet and the baby was the size of a peanut (like the nut, out of the shell, so tiny) even though I KNOW we've seen him on the ultrasound & he was bigger than that. Last night I dreamt that the baby was a girl, full term, but it was really a baby doll, and she wasn't going to live. She was BEAUTIFUL though. And we didn't name her Jacqueline, but rather something with Lily in it...(this could be b/c of seeing Tabitha's little girl, Lily, last week)
Monday at Tom and Peggy's I got to hold a little 5 or 6 week old baby and he just snuggled right into my chest and relaxed. It was cute. I can't wait to have my own little baby. I may never let him go! I just want to hold him and cuddle him and learn to nurse and be a real mom.
Anyway, the SOLs are over and we are in full time shut down mode at school. We have 10 days +4 1/2 days left. I am so ready to be done!
Here's the breakdown of what I have left:
Tomorrow- Regular Day
Friday-Fun Day (carnival)

58 lbs and a Smile!
Well, it's 12:30 and we just got home from the strawberry field & lunch. We picked 58 lbs of strawberries in about 2 hours.
Mandy took home most of them to cut up and freeze for her and mom and we kept about 20 lbs for ourselves.
We went to Chic Fil A for lunch afterwards and that was nice.
Then, when we got home, the mailman brought the mail while we were unloading. He commented on all the berries and he said "Congratulations, Mama"...which I thought was cute and sweet. I mean he sees what he's putting in our mailbox and I've been getting all kinds of baby stuff and magazines. It was nice of him to say something!
Now it's time to shower & then go to Trevor's birthday!
