Our trip to Georgia was good all except for the smoke like I mentioned before! Simba doggie is still hanging in there and Moms kitty Hunter (he’s about.. 6 months?) is as spunky as can be! He LOOOOVES to play but does NOT like to be held heh. Mom cooked LOTS of good food, I tried to eat as much of it as I could, lol. I really love love LOVE to play card games with Mom and Cathy.. always have since I was real young. It’s kindof a family tradition. We stayed mostly at my Cousins house THANK GOODNESS he doesn’t smoke. We would sleep at my Cousins house, get up go over at Moms and go back to my Cousins house later at night. The trip to and from Georgia was overall alright. Now for OVERALL Christmas pressies from everyone (including Brad’s family) !!!

IT’S FINALLY FRIDAY!!! Just got done cleaning up the house, now just waiting for 2PM so I can eat my spaghetti-o’s and wait for hubby to get home from his last day of work for 2007!!!! Once he comes home, gonna go with him to the bank and to pay truck payment then come back home to finish cleaning with him.

After that we’ll probably load up and go to Wal-Mart to buy the last few Christmas presents and I wanna buy 2 of those singing Christmas cards for Mom and my Aunt!! 😀 We’ll eat dinner @ Taco Bell out there by Wal-Mart (i think) then come home, visit Brad’s Grandparents (that live right down the road) because they wanted to see us before we leave for our trip. Come back home, start to pack bags, do a load or 2 of laundry, I’ll need a shower and by then I imagine It’ll be pretty late!

Probably gonna wake up around 7-7:30AM, get some breakfast then head over to Brad’s Moms to say bye-byez and then we’ll hit the road for Georgia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought I’d make one last post before our trip! I’m so flippin excited! I might pop on the I-net over @ my cousins a few times but I more than likely won’t make a new post until we come home Wednesday SO.

TOMORROW ILL BE 11 WEEKS! Yay yay yay! 😀

Speaking of pregnancy.. the most UGH-ish thing I have to put up with now is sometimes when I sneeze, cough or (try to) burp, I wind up gagging! Most of the time I can breathe, calm down and be fine. Well today I was getting the rest of the laundry out of the dryer and I sneezed, gagged then felt more gagging then I had to go to the bathroom.. and got sick. Haha, that sucked! All because of sneezing and gagging! I felt somewhat better afterwards but for a bit there I couldn’t stop shaking.

Man and I’m starting to have rough nights. I wake up usually once a night to go to the bathroom but like last night we had the heater on because It was like 20 degrees outside but we turned our floor fan towards the wall so we didn’t have any air hitting us. I woke up feeling like I was gonna suffocate and couldn’t breathe!! It was terrible. I pulled off my socks and pants and tried to go back to sleep. So tonight I’m gonna put the fan on low on me so that I can ATLEAST get a little air, eesh!!!!

Oh man oh man I’m getting so excited about CHRISTMAS, WOOO! 😀

A week from now, we’ll be getting our things together for our TRIP TO GEORGIA, WOOOO! I simply CANNOT. WAIT! Hopefully this upcoming week will fly by and then next Saturday we will be on our way!

I just sat down from cleaning the house! All that’s left to do is clean the bird cages, guinea pig and chinchilla cage which is hubbys job! I help feed/water them though and such so we’ll get that done this afternoon – that is If he’s in a good mood haha. Gonna see this weekend If Brad’s Aunt wants any of our birds.. I would like to get rid of them before we leave for Georgia but I somehow doubt that’s gonna happen.

Weather is finally starting to get to “normal” temps! It’s 45 outside right now and feel DELICIOUS. I have the windows open and I kindof wish the wind would blow a bit. It’s supposed to rain, rain tomorrow then possibly switch over to SNOW FLURRIES! I’m gonna be on the look out lol. I think Saturday or Sunday night It’s gonna be in the 20’s, BRR!!!!!!

Remember I said we gave our friends our bunny? Well.. the bunny died.. 😥 We’re all not sure what happened. Might have been from stress of moving from one house to another. R.I.P little bun-bun.

Enjoy your weekend!!!!! 🙂

WOHOO! I’m sooo happy It’s finally December! Now I’m hoping It will go by fairly quick! Can’t wait to travel and see Mom and celebrate Christmas! 😀

I thought about blogging this weekend but eh, decided to wait. Friday I did my cleaning and Brad was gonna clean the animal cages but we were both hungry so he went and bought McDonalds. By the time we ate, he was too tired hah!! He woke up early Saturday (after 9AM) and wanted to clean the cages so I got up, ate then I helped him slightly with all the animal cages but he did most of it. Of course Saturday we went grocery shopping and bought a few Christmas presents hehe. Just got a few more to get then we’ll be done. Hopefully can buy up the rest this weekend! We had a YUMMY dinner Saturday! Ate tuna helper and mac and cheese! While we ate we finally watched License to Wed! What a lovely movie!!! I thought It was great. I LOVE JOHN KRASINSKI! He seems like such a wonderful guy!

Also, Brad had talked to a woman at his work about our Iguana and she said she would come get him Saturday. Brad said she kindof sounded like she would back out of it though and she must have because she never showed up. Oh well… speaking of animals, we MUST put an ad in the paper and see If we can sell any of them. I’d like to have them sold before we left for Christmas but I guess we’ll see what happens.

Brad’s eye contact ripped last week so he’s had to wear his glasses (that he’s had since he was like 12? 14?) and he can’t really see that good out of them, espically at night. We need to go to the eye center @ Wal-Mart and Brad’s Mom said she would take him but come to find out the eye Doc wouldn’t be there during the weekend only Mon-Thur so maybe we can see about going when he gets off work because he really needs new glasses and contacts but right now he just wants new contacts. He’s had those contacts… for I dunno almost a year probably? I know It’s been a loooong time.

8 weeks pregnant today! Well, that’s what I estimate.. according to my LMP due date, I’d be a little over 8 weeks so I might change my tickers and such or I may wait till I go to the Doc and see exactly when I’m due according to her. I feel pretty good, I think my boobs are already growing a little, gosh lol.

My only concern is that I’m sooo afraid they won’t do an ultrasound or anything with my appointment and I just want to hear my little ones heartbeat. I guess I’ll have to see what my Doc says and then If nothing I think I’m gonna plead to atleast hear the heartbeat through a doppler or something!! Just to hear the little heart yenno?? Just some reassurance that my little bean is OK in there! It’s keeping me on the edge of my seat! If they won’t do ANYTHING, I’m gonna rent a doppler so I can listen to it @ home. I might do that anyway.

Getting very, very excited about Christmas! We DEFINETLY are going to visit Mom, my Aunt and Cousin YAAAAAY! We leave early on the 22nd, woohoo! Talked to Mom yesterday and she was naming off all the food she’s cooking for Christmas.. sounds DELICIOUS! She’s also making like 4 different desserts, lol. Cherry pie, strawberry cheesecake pie, red velvet cake (she always makes that @ Christmas) and this type of jello-mashmellow salad stuff that is beyond awesomecore! I JUST CAN’T WAIT!!!! 😀

So Brad randomly said to me yesterday while I was on the phone with Mom: Would you want to move to Georgia? After I got off the phone with Mom I asked him – HUH? Coz he doesn’t like Georgia. He said he could get used to it. Man, I would love to live in Georgia again. I grew up there! I dunno, we’ll see If anything comes of that or not.

Know what I wish I had right now? A can of spaghetti-o’s! 😆 Gonna have to stock up on those this weekend haha!

Overall, Thanksgiving was great! Went to Brads cousins house to eat and chat. That afternoon/evening, we went with Brads Mom and their crew to Wal-Mart. Brad and I bought a few things – including dinner for ourselves since we didn’t have anything @ home. I also got a new pair of pants! Wohoo, hopefully I’ll be able to wear them atleast for a little before my belly starts to pop out, ahh!!! 🙂 Brads Mom bought us Shrek 3 that I mentioned we watched last night, what a cute movie! I LOVED the flying baby donkeys lol!

Todays been goood! Brad and I both were soo tired last night we went to bed before midnight! I slept in today till almost 1pm, lol. I did not want to get up. I slept way too long though so when I did get up, I felt woozy so I ate and drank some water. Gotta drink plenty of water, don’t wanna get dehydrated. Brad has been a great big help today!!! He cleaned the iguanas tank, fed him then cleaned the bird cages and I cleaned the other animal cages then cleaned up the extra room. Swept and mopped in there like I usually do. He also helped me clean up our living room — It looks soo much better! Cleaned off our coffee table and he cleaned up his computer desk. I finally took down all the books off our bookshelf and reorganized and put everything back neatly! Then I went into our outside storage room and dug through to try to find Christmas stuff! We’re not putting up a Christmas tree this year because 1) we don’t have room for one in our living room and 2) we’re not gonna be home for Christmas anyhow! SO I got out our door decorator.. It’s this plastic thing that covers our front door and It has penguins on it and says Happy Holidays! 🙂 Also hung a penguin doorknob hanger on our doorknob. I dug out Christmas lights too so maybe tomorrow we can see about hanging up outside Christmas lights. 😀 Gotta love the Holidays!!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Yay yay yay!!!! I’m 7 weeks pregnant today! 😀 😀 I can’t wait to meet each new week as my pregnancy progresses further along! I actually feel pretty good today, thankfully. Just woke up from a nap not too long ago and am about to eat some peach slices! Yum, yum!!

Here I go with weather talk again, lol. Today is rainy, rainy! We might even get some serious storms later this afternoon and into the evening. Then tomorrow brings in a blast of cold air, brr!!! It’ll be more holiday-ish I guess, lol. Supposed to remain very chilly for a couple of days after that.

Well we’re either going to Brad’s Grandmas house (Dads side) or going to his Cousins house (Moms side) and It’s up to Brad, his family and all. Doesn’t matter to me, I’ll get talk of the baby ever which way we go hehehehe. And Thanksgiving food, yum! I guess technically we could go to both but again, It’s up to him. I’m just along for the ride!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! When Brad gets off work today, he has a 4 day weekend!!! 🙂

Wohoo, so the holidays are right upon us! What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving? I’m not sure of our EXACT plans but I do know I’m getting some yummy food and I can’t wait for that! 😆

Next month is gonna be a busy one for us! December 10th will be our 2 YEAR wedding anniversary! We always go out to eat to celebrate. Then come all the Christmas cheer with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! I’m hoping and praying that we will be in Georgia by then visiting my Mom, Aunt and Cousin! That would make me very, very, very happy to see them again! Espically Mom. I’ve got my very FIRST baby appointment December 27th – Brad has vacation that week so we’re gonna try to go to Georgia from Saturday – Wednesday then come back that night and get up and go to the Doc’s appointment on Thursday! Shew! Then a couple of days later we’ll be bringing in the new year, 2008! Wow. 😯

I think tonight we’re gonna eat chinese. Gosh I hope It’s what I want, LOL. These days I NEVER know what I want anymore so half the time I’m left unsatisfied and still wanting something else. My appetite is pretty much gone! I hope everyone has a great Friday night!!!! 😀 😀
