Well, it has been busy. Things are so hectic. We had some birthdays in June. We had my nephew and my neice. There was also Father’s Day. We got Jason something he has wanted for a while and I think he appreciates it. I wanted him to know how much we love him. Abby’s birthday parties were very nice. I say parties because she had two. One was a cookout at our house and one was a swim party. They both went well.

We also got the steps finished thanks to my friend’s husband. He did those for us and Jason helped them out with stuff. My father-in-law is in for a bit. He has been staying here since Tuesday, but went to Jason’s sister’s house last night. He is going to his High School reunion and will be back Sunday. He wants to have a cookout with the family members from both sides. Hopefully it won’t rain.

Maybe on Sunday we will be able to figure out more stuff about the baby shower. We have been getting things together and figured out little by little, but time goes and and we want to get it finished. We also have to do some switching of rooms while Jason is on vacation. He is supposed to be cleaning out his computer room so then Jason can go back there and Janeen can go into Jason’s room. She and Jason finally made progress on cleaning her room. It won’t be too long until we will be doing the painting and such for the nursery.

Sometimes I get so overwhlemed with everything. I just think of everything and want to cry. Or should I say cry, because that it what I have been doing from time to time. I guess it is just a hormonal thing with me being pregnant and all, but things just get to me.

Today just hasnt been the best for me. I got up and wanted to crawl right back in bed. Then I was so tired during the day and didn’t feel too well. I think it was due to the fact that I didn’t have enough on my stomach when I took my prenatal pills. Work was ok, but still I did not want to be there. I get home and just things kind of blew up from there. I just wish I could stop feeling the way I feel. Things just get to me and bother me and it is hard to let things go.

I am hoping that Kristoff can stay over tonight because he was excited about it, but his mom wants him to stay home because they are going to Knoebel’s tomorrow. Well, we will see if he makes it over this evening. Becky may come over and hang out and we may possibly go over things that are shower related. Jason isn’t home because they were doing the “special podcast”, not only audio, but video as well. So, I am not sure when he will be home.

On an exciting note, the baby has been really active lately and it makes me feel good to know that this one is doing well. I actually not only felt it, but saw it for myself when it moved today. The ultrasounds have been cool. I go for another one on July 15th and they will try to do this one in 3D. It will be exciting to see what the baby will look like. Almost like a photograph. I hope that it will co-operate and let the doctor get some good pictures.

Well, I think I have rambled on enough and got some thoughts and feeling out. I hope to post again soon. Hopefully Jason will be able to put all of the ultrasounds on here at some point in time. Until then….happy reading.

Well, just writing a quick note. This weekend has been terrible weather-wise. It has been so hot the last few days. Everyone was warning me about being pregnant during summer. I didn’t think it would be this rough. My feet have gotten swollen from time to time. I am trying to stay hydrated as much as I can.

Today my dad was wonderful enough to pick up the kids from Jason’s sister’s house. Then we had a quick dinner and then it was off to Jrs game. I cannot wait for the week to be over. That means that baseball/softball will be finished and I do not have to run around as much. I like when the kids are doing things, but this is killing me the last few days. I just burst into tears from time to time trying to get everything done.

Well, hopefully things will calm down. The steps should be done shortly too. It will be nice to see the finished product. Well, I just wanted to jot a bit down. Hope to post more soon. Bye for now!!

Well, it has been a bit since I posted last. Things are hectic as usual. Between appointments for the baby, kids in sports and Jason working so much, it seems like I never have a chance to relax. Sometimes it feels like I get to the breaking point. I don’t know if it sometimes is the hormones or not, but I get to the point where I break into tears.

Things have been going well with the pregnancy since the problems I was having in the beginning. I have 2 doctors that I see. It almost is like I am going to the appointments constnantly, but I don’t mind. I just want this precious little one to join our family.

Many people keep asking if we want to find out what we are having, but we do not. I just want to have that surprise when the baby comes and they say the sex. We started a registry and have been adding and subtracting things as we go along. Before you know it, things will be changing. We have to change some rooms around and get things situated this summer.

Jason is off in New York today. Hopefully he is having fun. He has been working so much and I really appreciate it. Sometimes, he thinks I am upset, but I am not. He is doing his best for our family. I just get frustrated when I am at the point of exhaustion and have to run around with different things.

Well, I guess I rambled on long enough. Hopefully I will post again soon. I can update on the different appointments I have. Also, sometime down the road, Jason will digitize the VCR tape of the ultrasounds. It would be awesome to post and let everyone share in our joy and experience. Until enjoy the post.
