Meet the Sea Monkey



Today was our first ultrasound. Here's the little guy's profile. He didn't want to get in the right postion to be measured but we think we finally got a good measurment of about 40mm. Based on his size they changed the due date to June 2. We won't know for 7 more weeks what the sex is so for now it's a sea monkey :)

Oh the Exhaustion

I haven't posted in a couple weeks because I'm just so tired... I do have a lot to write about though. My little belly is sticking out enough that my pants don't button. I'm trying to hold out buying the maternity clothes as long as possible though. At least until my mom and mom-in-law come to visit and go shopping anyway :) I've been really queasy and moderately pukey so that's not fun. I finally completed 6 weeks of working 60 hour weeks in an effort to help save some money and pay off the porsche (sigh).
In our family it has been a rough week. Mike's dad has been in the hospital for over a week with a kidney infection that went septic. He was critical for a while so Mike spent last Thursday to Monday with him. I think Mike was able to distract him some and help the hospital staff with all his care (Big Mike is a large stubborn man when feeling well so with kidneys failing he was even larger and grumpier.) We hope he will be able to recover but he will be in the hospital for the next several weeks.
On Halloween I only had 3 groups of trick-or-treaters come to the house. I had 2 huge bags of candy all ready :( What I really find ironic is that a neighbor came to the house on Monday selling candy bars for a school fundraiser. This same neighbor did not visit us on Halloween. So my money is good enough for them but they don't trust my candy? Hmmm.
I did go vote last week in early voting. I had to wait 2 1/2 hours but I think it is worth it to have my say. I'm pleased that our candidate won :)
Hopefully working less this month I can keep this up to date a little better. Or maybe I'll just take more naps :)
