time for an update

Lots going on around these here parts lately.

With the wedding being less than 2 months away the craziness has started. We're getting lots of RSVPs back and finishing up some last minute things. Mal and Angela's bridesmaid dresses came in today and Tom and I are ordering our wedding rings tonight. Whoo hoo!!! Sunday is my first of two bridal showers... should be fun!

Had another DR's appointment on Monday. We got to hear the heartbeat again and next month we might get to see if the baby is a boy or girl! I hope the little cashew cooperates with the ultrasound tech. :)

Tom and I are looking at a house tonight, too. It's such a huge house... I really hope we can get it!!! It'd be great to have friends over!!!

blah

I don't feel like doing much today... and of course, today is the day that I need to get a lot done.

Gotta clean the kitchen, do laundry, go shopping, go find some maternity khaki capris, go to the bank, and I have a WIU Alumni thing at the fair at 5. I suppose I can get all of this done before then but I just don't want to do anything but sleep or hang around the house all day.

This weekend was kinda of crazy busy. I worked Saturday, came home, rushed to get ready to go to Tom's mom's house - we were there for maybe 2 hours when some drama unfolded. So we left at 10 and got home sometime after midnight.

Yesterday we were up early to go to church and then were at mom's all day. We were able to be at home for a little while before meeting up with Mike and Tracy to see the new Bourne movie. It was REALLY good but I got sick in the middle of it and felt like C R A P the rest of the night. When we got home I went straight to bed. I guess I'm still feeling like crap hence not wanting to do anything right now.

Lots of unneccesary drama going on lately... and at the WORST possible time, too. Tom and I are really not wanting this 2 months before the wedding. And of course, the drama is with people who mean a lot to us and are a part of our wedding. *sigh*

On a good note - we received 16 RSVPs last week. So VERY excited about that! I've always been... oh I don't know, paranoid maybe?... that no one would come to my wedding. That stems from childhood, I know, but unfortunately has carried over into adulthood. So I'm glad to see that atleast 30 some people will be there so far! ;)

Today is the 3 month mark... Only 6 more to go until Baby Leahy is here!!!!

stupid reality TV

This morning at 4am I got bored while at work. So for the first time I watched "Animal Cops: Houston" on Animal Planet. Holy flippin' crap. The tears were a'flowin. I started to feel so udderly bad for those poor animals... malnurished dogs, a horse attacked by another horse, an abandoned mommy dog and her pups... I couldn't stop crying!!! Stupid pregnancy.

When I got home from work Odie was there to greet me at the door as usual. He got the BIGGEST hug...

I do NOT understand how people can be so cruel to animals. What is the point?

on a much brighter note...

Here is my baby!!!

*sigh*

It's pretty sad when the only thing stressing you out about your wedding is one of your bridesmaids.

Quite ridiculous if you ask me.

like crap.

That's how I'm feeling today. I have had SO much bad for me food this week... I feel like a big tub of lard!!!

I was gone Wednesday-Friday last week visiting my dear friend Gina and her family. We always ate out. Then when I got home, our stove was broken. That wasn't able to be replaced until yesterday. Saturday I ate something that didn't agree with me and I puked for the first time since being pregnant. It sucked. I stayed home from work.

Didn't realize that food could make you feel so lousy. I'm not craving health food by any means but I know I need to eat it. So now that we have an stove I am going to attempt to make chicken salad and broccoli cheese soup. Should be interesting.

And the due date is....

Our appointment this morning went rather well, I must say.

I was a little sad at first because the DR couldn't hear the heartbeat with the tool he was using. But thankfully he got me in with the sonogram tech and not only could we hear the heart beat, we could see the baby, too!!! The little thing looks like and is about the size of a cashew. So that's what we're calling it. "Our little cashew" haha. Next time it'll probably be the size of an orange... so then we'll call it "our little orange" and so on and so forth. That is, until we find out what the sex is.

The heart beat was so very strong and healthy... and amazing!!! When we actually got to see the little thing it moved around a lot! At first it was just the legs... but then it moved it arms and gave us a little wave.

It was the most perfect, scary, and unbelievable thing I have ever been a part of. And it's only going to get better!!!

oh! the due date is February 25, 2008 !!!
