Look how REAL our baby looks now!!! I really can't get over it...it's finally HUMAN and not so alien looking :) While I'm still having those days where it's hard to believe it's happening to me, I'm so excited overall and can't wait because in a couple weeks I should be able to start feeling some kicking!!!
Last weekend Zach and I were looking forward to going garage sale shopping but we decided instead to go to Thomasville and order our baby furniture! So we were pumped this week to follow through with our garage sale plans! We got up at 7:30 (we were excited...but not excited enough to be Early Birds!) and our power was out! Some girl was drinking and driving at 5 am and hit a power line pole in front of Valwood School and it knocked out our neighborhoods power. We decided we weren't going to let that stop us so I got ready in the dark (and just didn't have a choice but to wear my hair curly) and we headed out! It was so fun! We found some really great things and didn't even spend much money! I had heard that garage sales often have good baby stuff...but I was shocked at all the things we found! Books that were practically new, clothes that look like they've never been worn, and awesome toys! Of course Zach saw this and had to have it...it attaches to a bicycle and...
As today is September 11th I can't help but think back seven years ago when the terrorist attacks occured. I truly believe it's important to remember that day as it's a day each person will want to tell their children and grandchildren about. It's our generations big event one that we all share much like we often had to ask our parents "what were you doing the day Kennedy was shot?" our children will be asking us "what were you doing on September 11th?" I was in school on September 11th. It was the end of one class and about to begin Latin. I was writing my boyfriend, Mark, a note and I remember saying in it "some idiot just hit some buildings or something." I honestly didn't get what the big deal was about it. It didn't register until the next class period, Latin, when we all sat watching the tv and Danny Smith said "we're probably going to have to forget about college and go fight in a war instead." That is the momen...
Other than our two cats and two fish Zach and I also have two dogs. All eight of us make up our little family! When Zach and I met he was anti-pets but things have changed and I'll never forget when Sadie had run away over July 4th weekend and Zach said "She's part of our family." I know he may not always act like it but deep down he loves our pets and he would be so upset if anything happened to them. I have had Sadie, a shih-tzu, since I was 16. And Zach and I bought Levi, a chihuahua, with our wedding present money last summer. Like I mentioned, we love our pets. However, just like people, pets can have character traits that drive you crazy. Ours are no different. As Sadie has aged she has developed some skin issue where within minutes after bathing her she will start to stink again. Other than just bad odor she always licks licks licks this one spot on her back constantly allllll night long. Levi sleeps in his crate at night but Sadie sleeps with us an...
I know that pregnancy means raging hormones and I know that crying at the drop of a hat is expected...but I still feel the need to share my first crying breakdown moment. I think all pregnant women probably watch A Baby Story on TLC ...I've been watching millions of them! They are really educational with what will happen in the delivery room and different complications I could experience. Of course I have cried watching many of them (I used to cry when I watched EVERY episode but it wore off after like 30 of them), especially when the baby is born! The parents' reactions are so awesome and just the idea that the same thing will be happening to us is so moving! Friday was my worst pregnancy day so far and I spent the entire day watching tv. Well this one episode came on about a miracle baby where the mom has had cancer and was told she wouldn't be able to get pregnant but then she did! Sadly the cancer came back and it was difficult to watch her deal with the cancer ...
