2 months 2 weeks 2 days to go

That would be as of June 19th, 29 weeks. The fella I worked with in Savannah is due (his wife is due) August 19th...so when I told them I was pregnant too, I held out some books Angie sent me and said "I can't do it anymore, I'm 2 weeks and 2 days behind you!" They're having a girl, Stella. We're having a boy, Thor. :)


Here's 29 weeks

When I look down it looks like a big ball. It's so weird to see it from the side...it freaks me out a little bit! And I can still paint my toes! Although this weekend is Mike & Christine's wedding and I'm pampering myself with a pedicure and updo. Yay! I've got a new dress, new shoes and a man in a tux...what more does a girl need?

Haven't heard anything from the glucose test #2. They did 3 draws in the same area on my left arm...that hurt like crap! On the 3rd one it hurt when the guy just rubbed the alcohol pad on there! The 4th one I went in and threw out my right arm and said "let's use this one this time, I'll faint if we do the left again." So I'm assuming no news is good news so far. I have an appointment next wednesday (27th) so we'll know for sure. Then 2 weeks after that, another ultra sound.

Not much else going on. I'm just excited for the wedding...I think the last one I was at was ours. Oh no, there was another one that summer, but I think that's it until now. 3 years without a wedding!!?!? Wow. Oh wait, one of my cousins got married after us...but they didn't have a dance, so it's not the same. And Greg didn't go, work. Then next weekend is Def Leppard at Summerfest! yay! Sugarland is playing on another stage at 10pm, so maybe I can catch some of that too, although I'll be the only one that wants to see them I think. Everyone else will probably want to watch Blue Oyster Cult. Puuhleaze. I want to see Sugarland in person so bad...and seeing as I'm the pregnant one, I think I win.

What's after that...4th of July. That'll be weird having it in the middle of the week. Nothing big planned...just going to the annual party in Fort Atkinson at Uncle Bill & Aunt Lorna's.

Until week 30, with wedding pictures too, toodles.

27 weeks

Here's the tum-tum at 27 weeks.

Thor's very active in there...I can watch him roll around and push out and do whatever he's doing in there. He gets the hiccups often, but luckily they don't last long...at least I think it's the hiccups!

Not much going on this week. or the past few days. ready for the warm weather to kick in and rain to stop!

Off to the races!

The Chewy Spree Incident

I lived this story on saturday the 2nd and re-told it to Angie to cheer her up today. It's too funny I think not to share with the world.

So I'm driving to Kenosha and stop at that gas station in Allenton and get a tootsie roll and oooh, chewy sprees! I woof down the tootsie roll (what is that anyways besides delicious goodness?) and then I'm snacking on the sprees. I'm about 2/3 done with the little bag and all of the sudden I start minorly choking on some chewy spree juice or something...you know how they have a little pucker to them? I'm like okay, take a drink of water, felt okay for a second and then start coughing again and WHAM...it comes back UP! So I have a mouthful of puke flavored chewy spree water and am going 73 mph down Hwy 45 or 894 or wherever I am at the moment...luckily there wasn't too much traffic around me...I'm looking around, what to do, what to do!!! I'm in the middle lane, there's too many cars in the right lane to veer over and stop...so I go over into the left lane, roll down the window and spit it out!!! Needless to say some landed on the door frame there...and some had snuck out onto the steering wheel and seat before i caught my mouth. Nothing too major. Luckily I found a Dairy Queen napkin to wipe up all that. Eegads!

I finished the chewy sprees today without incident. :)
