Labor day. I realized something yesterday that put everything into perspective. Three day weekends! Who doesn't love a three day weekend? Of course Craig and I sort of forgot it was coming until the day before, but regardless, one less day of work is always a good thing. I just want to know why there is so much pressure that last day of work. Its like they working you extra hard to make up for the day you are gone. Or reality is probably that at this level its me putting the pressure on myself. We're all going to be out. Its not like half of our business associates are working and we aren't. I just know that I stressed myself out so bad yesterday that by the time I had to leave to go to the doctors that I was almost in tears. Not a good thing! But, now that its here, I'm STOKED!!! Gooo Labor Day!!! I love the weekends when we don't have something planned every minute of every day, but we have things scattered throughout the weekend. It started out great yesterday and its getting better every minute. I'm off to yoga in a few, so I should probably wrap this up. I know the last two posting have been sort of abstract and I'm sorry. Just things I've been thinking. I will get back to the good stories shortly. Fun and Happy things that happened today???
Happy thing that happened today/this week. I felt the baby move. Everyone kept asking me if I had felt it and I was like... ummm... not sure. But its pretty apparent now. Plus she was moving when we were hearing her heart beat yesterday so that was also a happy thing. She's an active one!
Fun things that happened today/this week. My media buyer asked me if I was interested in attending the TV Guide Emmy party next month... UMMM, YES! Not sure if its a for sure thing, but if it is, its going to be so much fun!
Hope you have a great three day weekend. And remember next time, don't stress yourself out like I did leading up to a great long weekend. Its just not worth it!
Caddie
So anyone that says that animals don't have personalities, is crazy. Our dog has gotten funny in her old age. Yesterday I opened the front door allowing her to roam around the front yard or whatever. She spent, I'm not kidding you, almost two hours in this bush. This is not a very big bush, but she stomps around the bush, stuck her face in there, was determined something is in there. Well I finally get her to come back inside and she has maybe 4 huge cobwebs on her face and is so pumped about not getting whatever was in that damn bush. Anywho, I would say only in the last year have Craig and I at around 10 each night been like where's caddie and gone into our room to find her asleep on her pillow. We always joke and said, I guess it was past her bedtime. Anyways, last night I got home kind of late, and decided to watch a little tv before bed. Accidently fell asleep and woke up pretty much in the middle of the night. Caddie no where to be seen, so I shut everything off and was off to our room expecting to see her on her pillow. Oh no. She was dead center of our bed sprawled out. Every blue moon, I'll get home from work and sneak into our room and I would say maybe 1 out of 10 times she's on the bed. She typically sees me and freakout and jumps down with her tail between her legs and knows she isn't supposed to be on there. Well tonight I walk in there. I say...UMMMMM... and she opens her eyes, turns her head to me and then turns her head back and goes back to sleep. What a funny funny dog. While dad is away, all rules are apparently thrown out the window. Being the sucker I am, I just got into bed and pushed her over to Craig's side. I woke up this morning and low and behold the princess was still asleep on the bed. Oh well. There are worst things in the world!
Its a Girl!!!
I am so excited. We found out we're having a girl!!! I do have to say that I was certainly shocked when she said it, but now that its sinking in, its becoming more real. We had our appointment and Craig asks the technician if she knows what we're having and she says, "oh yeah, I know the gender." Oh I guess I should start with all the info. She took me in first and started the ultra sound and said she was taking all the baby's measurements. Why Craig couldn't be in there for that, I don't know. But so I asked her that I didn't want to see anything or for her to tell me anything untill Craig go in there. So it took about 20 minutes to do the measurements and then she said that it looks like the my due date is about right and that she shows it even a few days early. POOP... closer to Christmas! Oh well, what is meant to be, is meant to be. I will try my hardest baby to keep you in there till after the first of the year. =) Anyways, then she brings Craig back in the room and she starts showing us pictures. It is amazing how clear the pictures are. That is when Craig asked her if she knew what we are having. Of course, I'm already thinking we have a boy on our hands. Then when she says that she knows, I'm convinced. She moves down there and says... okay, there you go. And we both look, and don't seen anything and she says... you're having a girl! WHAT??? I did actually say, "I'm sorry, what?" hahahaha... We both made her say it again. "You have a little girl" Of course that is when we're both clench each other's hand and start tearing up and look at each other and say, its a girl! It was an amazing experience, that is for sure!
I can tell already that I'm in for it. I've always said that my kids aren't going to be able to pull one over on me(only because I've done it all), but this one is already throwing me for a loop.
Last night we went to target and "we" picked out her first outfit. I used the term "we" loosely because the hubs... the big softy, really picked it out. He was on a pink kick and me of all people had to get him to settle down on the pink. So we came to a compromise and got her this super cute sweat suit with pink pants and multi colored sweat top with a pink lady bug on it. She has her first outfit! =)
Well that is it for now. We have a big weekend upon us with Melissa's shower and Kate and Mike engagement. What a weekend of celebration. I'm so excited!
Ciao for now!
Today's the Day
Today is the day. I can't even sleep. We find out today at 11:00 whether our little peanut is a girl or a boy. eeeekkk... This is a surreal experience. I know people go through it all the time, but it is just so unbelievable to me. Yesterday, I asked some of my closest friends and family to write down their predictions along with a note. I really hope that they do it, so we have some good notes for the baby book. Its funny, my sister and brother in law have some money on the whole deal. So fun!! Craig and I both think we're having something different, so we made a little wager ourselves. Although, what I picked if I win, isn't super exciting. I get to have a cleaning lady in. He said, a one time cleaning for now and we'll talk about monthly. I would be fired up if we get to have her monthly. He of course has a golf round in mind. =) I love this because its all in good fun. We both would be so excited for whatever they tell us we're having. I definitely know that I will never forget this moment!! Okay, so I really should try and get some sleep. Big day and big weekend ahead of me.
