Baby Appointment

I guess there's something about babies that just makes everything a little more bearable. I usually stress out really badly when I go to the hospital, but this time I wasn't stressed... and I even had to bring Noah. He was great. I stuck headphones on him, buckled him into his stroller, and started the Lion King so I could have my exam in peace. He barely made a peep. I got some asthma medication YAY!!! We still didn't listen for the baby's heartbeat and I didn't even realize it until we were leaving the hospital. We were there from 0850 - 1050. I had to pee in a cup, with Noah. I had to have blood drawn, with Noah. I popped an intern's blood-drawing cherry. He was so nervous so I'm glad he came to me because I calmed him down. He actually did a great job, only poked one time, didn't hurt me at all... probably because he was so concerned about messing up. I got to hang out at the pharmacy with Noah too. He was such a well-behaved angel. I decided since he was so good I could sugar him up with some peanut butter cookies on the way out. He was very grateful.

My next appointment is on April 4th so guess who gets to join me!! JOSH! :D This way we'll hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time together. I won't have to get anything "invasive" done so Noah can come too. I also am supposed to get a call to make our first sonogram appointment. I would love for Josh to be present for it, but by time he's here I'll be 16wks and it will almost be time for the 20wk sonogram. Maybe March 30th can happen. We shall see. Well time to call Joshua. Poor baby is still at work. They've been really busy because the base is closing down so everything has to be turned in and accounted for and cleaned up.

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
