Baby Registry

Yesterday, Corey and I decided to go register for the baby at Babies-r-Us. What an experience that was. Registering for our wedding was so easy we just picked out what we wanted and what we needed. Registering for a baby was a little more difficult. we couldn't just get what we want we had to get what the baby needs. We decided to start at the front of the store where all the infant care items are. We stood in front of the bottles just staring. We had no idea what the difference between each bottle was, how many we needed, what brands were good, and which plastic ones were safe. We felt like that through out most of the store. The easiest part was the babies bedroom set because we had already pick out Alphabet Soup. Well we finished and decided that we can always come back after looking over our list. As I was going through the list at home I was shocked that we did as good as we did. There are a few things we missed and will have to go back to add, but over all baby Still should be set.

The joys of owning a home!

Monday evening Corey was downstairs playing on the Wii and I was upstairs watching TV in bed. I went to use the bathroom in our bedroom when Corey started to yell at me to flush the toilet again. So I went into the bathroom and flushed. Then Corey starts yelling at me to turn off the water. Now I am all worried and wondering what is going on. So I head downstairs as fast as I can these days. I find Corey on a chair in the corner of our living room with a fist size hole in the ceiling above him. Apparently he had heard water dripping after I flushed and went to feel the ceiling. When he felt it his hand went right through. So we find our home warranty and call them. They then call a plumber who comes out that night. Apparently the seal around our bathroom toilet was all rotten. He repaired it and cut a larger hole in the ceiling so it could dry. We are now waiting for the dry wall guy to call and come fix the hole in our ceiling. Luckily we still have our home warranty and so we only have to pay $55.00 and the warranty pays the rest.

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

Here are pictures from emily's birthday party. she sure loved her first taste of chocolate.

Happy Birthday Emily!

Today is my niece Emily's 1st birthday. I can not believe that she was born a year ago. This last year has gone by so fast. Emily is just about the cutest thing. She is crawling every where, and likes to walk along the furniture. She is also a little chatter box. She will repeat things you say but loves to say dada, mama, and shoe. Erika and Jacob are having a birthday party for her on Saturday. I love seeing 1 year olds eat their first cake. Or get it all over them selves.

Here is a nine month picture of Emily and a new born picture from the hospital.

Busy, busy, busy!

I feel like Corey and I have been so busy over the last few weeks. Last week I had Open House and just lots of stuff to get done at school. Then Corey was gone all weekend. He went to the lake to help paint and get other jobs done. Since Erika and I couldn't be around the paint we stayed home and spent Saturday together. This week Corey has Open House and bowling. It is always hard for me to go from spending all my time with him in the summer to only having a couple of hours a day where I see him. I call it Corey with drawls. Pathetic, huh! Well I look forward to a nice relaxing weekend.

3:30 am and awake

Well here I am at 3:30 in the morning wide awake since 1:30. It amazes me how you can be so exhausted all day and then you can't sleep at night.

Wednesday after school was our school BBQ and Open House so I was there until after7 that night. I was so tired of being on my feet. All day Thursday i felt just exhausted. So tonight I went to bed at 8:30pm and slept great until 1:30am when i woke up to use the bathroom. Then my mind had to start working. And what have i been thinking about for the last 2 hours, SCHOOL. What I need to get done? Things I need to make? How i am going to fit in all of our new reading series? etc.

Well now that i have all that off my chest, I am going to go back to bed and try sleeping again. Good Night!

6 month visit

Corey and I completed our second day of school today. So far things have gone well. Besides being tired and nauseas in the morning I have felt good. I think that I am really going to enjoy my class this year.

After school today Corey andI went in for our 6 month appointment. The doctor said that my weight and blood pressure were good. He measured my tummy for the first time and said I have a big baby. Then when we went to hear the heart beat it was irregular. It would beat and then there were little pauses. The doctor is having us go see a prenatal cardiologist to have a special ultra sound done on the babies heart to make sure everything is okay. He said that there is a 90% change that nothing is wrong and as the baby grows it will correct itself. If their is something wrong then they will either treat it through medication now or the baby will have to have surgery when it is delivered. We are praying that nothing is wrong. As soon as we know more I will let everyone know. Please pray for our little peanut.
