Pregnancy fun:< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

So, I’ve been having the fun of morning sickness for over a week now. It started nice and early this time around 4 weeks…MY GOD!  I wake up every morning sick to my stomach and then spend most of the day on and off being nauseous.  The only saving grace so far is that I’m not throwing up from it yet.  I just get the horrible burps that make me feel like I should be throwing up and then of course heartburn from hell.  I’ve been really behaving on eating good and trying to snack through the day on fruits, bran bars and drinking oodles of water.  Of course, since last time I couldn’t keep down prenatal vitamins, I’m on the Flintstones kick J which I just add a B complex with and I’m getting my folic acid that I need the most.  The doc recommended this since prenatals either make me sick or constipated or both.  FUN stuff.   I am getting ansy as all hell to go to my ultrasound appt. next week.  I’ll be a day short of 7 weeks (if I’ve got things right).  Patrick will be going with me to this one since he didn’t go to my early appts. last time.  So far so good I keep telling myself.  No spotting, no cramps just twinges here or there.  I so am having baby window shopping”itis”.  I of course won’t buy a single thing until we are way out of the clear on things though.  I however, can research things so maybe I’ll make a post later of wish list items (if work is boring). 

 

Visitors:

We have Patrick’s parents coming into town the week of August 8^th  (next week) for pretty much the whole week.  They’ll be staying with Patrick’s brother since the cats bother Hank too much when he stays the night for long period of time.  

 

The week after that we have my best friend from junior high aka my maid of honor coming to visit.  Patrick’s best friend aka his best man is coming to visit too.  They hit it off really well shall we say, at our wedding.  Over the last year they have emailed, talked on the phone and kept in touch despite each of them having significant others.  Raeann (Rain) broke up with her boyfriend, which we all knew was coming.  Now if Koby would stop being chicken and break off things with his girlfriend!  They truly need to finally just hook up and get over this.  LOL They obviously have a connection if a year has gone by and they are still yapping, flirting, whatever!  She is crazy about him too and he thinks she’s hot etc. 

 

House:

Finally~ my in-laws took pics of the house lot this weekend for us but it doesn’t look any different then before other then the house behind us has their fence up so you can see a better outline of how big it is.  I think they are just a little excited about us moving up there!  We are looking over and over the option list for the house.  Basically we are trying to stay within a certain $$ limit but we are pushing over that way to easily.

 

Item list so far:

Upgrade kitchen appliances to stainless steel

Upgrade cabinets from 30” tall to 36”

Corner cabinet upgrade to glass front with glass shelves.

Hi Low kitchen stainless steel sink

Pull out shelves in all bottom cabinets.

Brushed chrome door hardware in whole house

Upgrade countertops in kitchen

Wine bar in hallway built in

AC System

Security prewire

*sighs* Needless to say the list is bad and we are dreading this but yet the Design Center is the most fun of building your own house. I’ll be taking oodles of pics of our options when we go! It’s really cool to go in and pick the carpet you want or the tile you want.  I’m not sure when we’ll get the call to make a flight up there for a weekend to get this done but the next few weeks are insanely busy with family and friends visiting.  I think the only weekend we could do it would Aug. 26^th.  I’m really hoping they break ground at the very latest September and that’s pushing it.  I’m due the end of March and well….6 months building time, if all goes well,  starting in September = February!!!!! Month before I’m due we’d be moving in? YIKES are you kidding me!! I would have only a month to decorate a nursery!! *cries*   Guess it’s the price we pay for having a “family” home.   Not to mention, I think we are going to try to take 10k out of our equity from our current house to buy our new bedroom set, new living room tables and ladder bookcases from Pottery Barn etc.  I sooo want time to decorate.  I told my mom I may have to fly her up just to do my nursery if it comes down to the wire LOL.

 

Sorry for the long update ~ this lj is being gay on letting me cut things so I give up.

Type this in the morning but just now getting to post it ~ gay gay lj!
