Supernatural

I haven't watched a show on the WB(see I still call it that it is the CW now) since Buffy the Vampire Slayer went off the air, but Justin really likes the show Supernatural. I wouldn't watch it though and last weekend he was watching it and I was in the room and it was actually really good. So I started watching it and found that I really liked it. It is really similar to the X Files so if you like that kind of thing you would like this show. It is really well written for a show on this channel. It has direction and is only supposed to last for 5 seasons, and right now it is at the end of its 4th. It also doesn't hurt that the stars are really cute.

Watch Dog

Yes, that is Pippin watching t.v. It is the funniest thing. He sat and watched this movie, mostly because the star was Benji the dog, and the movie was Benji the Hunted. He always goes crazy when another dog or cat is on the t.v. I had to take a picture of him because he didn't move through the whole thing.

Ah, the smell of flowers

I planted these pretty pansies on Saturday. The neighborhood cats have been using our planter as a liter box, so I decided it was time to put flowers in again. They remind me of Alice in Wonderland, when she is talking to the flowers in the garden.

Dog Thief

Have you ever seen the Disney movie "Lady and the Tramp"? At the beginning you see the scottie dog get his dog bone and go and bury it in a secret place. I think taking things and hidding them is a trait of scottie dogs. Angus, my scottie, has been taking things and hidding them. At Christmas he carried off one of my stuffed animal decorations. I looked all over for it and couldn't find it. Later that day he carried it back into the family room. So he has secret spots.

This morning my glasses feel off the night stand, but I left them there because I really needed to go to the bathroom. I went to get them off the floor and couldn't find them. Mind you, I am blind so I had to feel around for them. I called Justin in to look for them and he couldn't find them. (I think he thought I was going crazy). Anyway, I looked for 20 minutes for them. Finally, I got the flashlight and was looking under the bed, and what do I see reflect in the light? My glasses! Angus had carried them off and hid them under the bed. That dog is so silly. Luckily I don't think he chews the stuff up. But if you ever come over and something goes missing, I'm blaming the dog!

First Picture

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have been fighting sickness. It is a lot worse than I thought it would be. Now on top of that I have a cold that I think is making things worse. Anyway, besides that I am doing well. My house is still not totally recovered from Christmas and it is really starting to drive me crazy.

We had our first appointment with the Doctor. I love my Doctor. He is a really special spirit. He did an ultra sound to look and see how things were going. The baby was moving a lot and the heart beat was beating really fast. It was really cute. We also found out how far a long I am and when I am due. I am 10 weeks along and my due date is August 26th. Yes, a long summer for me as everyone likes to point out. I always felt bad for my sister-in-law Elisabeth when she was pregnant here in AZ because it was always during the summer. Justin said he won't fight me over the thermostat this summer. I told him I was going to buy a baby pool and sit in it during the morning to stay cool. I'll just need to find a friend with a real swimming pool.

Here is the first picture of the baby. I don't know about you, but it looks like a girl to me! :)

Big News!!

Okay, I know I promised to blog about Christmas, and I will. But I have been so sick the last few weeks and it probably won't get better anytime soon. Justin and I found out on New Year's Eve that I am PREGNANT!! Yes, after a year of trying we were taken by surprise. It is a good surprise, but I think I will be happier when the morning sickness goes away. By the way, whoever named it morning sickness was wrong, I have all day sickness. It has been so hard going back to work. I have had to go sleep in the nurses office both days I have been back.

There is a funny story about how we found out. The week before Christmas my back started to hurt really bad and it kind of hurt when I needed to go to the bathroom. I thought I had a UTI. So I went to the Dr. the day before Christmas Eve. They tested my urine and said it could be an infection, but they would go ahead and treat it. So I started taking the medication. On Christmas morning I woke up so sick to my stomach I thought I was going to be sick. I just thought it was the medicine making me nauseous. Well, it continued and finally on New Year's Eve I was supposed to go ride the new Light Rail with my family, I called and told them to go without me. My mom told me to go back to the Dr. So I called and made an apt. for that afternoon. I get there and I tell the Dr. I feel sick all the time, my breasts are sore, my legs hurt and I feel nauseous all day. She said, "Could you be pregnant?" I told her we were trying for a year and that I just didn't think I was. She said we needed to do a pregnancy test. Well, she came back and said, "It came back and you are pregnant!" I said, "WHAT!! Are you sure? I'm really pregnant?" And so yes, I am pregnant. We are both really happy. I just hope this nausea goes away after the first trimester so I can enjoy the rest of the pregnancy.

I will keep you updated. I have a Dr. apt. this Thursday and hopefully they can tell me how far along I am. I was having such crazy menstrual cycles that I wasn't even tracking them. Yes, we are going to find out the sex when we can, because I can't wait. We are talking names all the time and we just can't agree on a boys name.

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my birthday!! I turned 29. I don't feel like I am 29. I was trying to scan in a photo of me from when I was young, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I will have to try later. I promise to post some blogs tomorrow. I have some Christmas pictures I want to blog about.
