OK, so poptarts and toddlers do NOT go together, LOL!!! I was eating cherry poptarts and I shared with Emily. Well, I now have cherry filling on her PJ's, the couch, the carpet, the coffee table and on her new Radio Flyer Tricycle, which, she LOVES, by the way!!! Daddy bought it for her last weekend, and she is so cute on it!!! The seat is all the way up, and she can reach the pedals, but she doesn't quite get how to push on them to make it go. It spends most of it's time in the living room. She sits on it to watch cartoons. It is so cute!!!

It is dark and grey here today, looks like more rain. That is fine with us, as we just had a retaining wall put in our backyard to make our hill a level play area. After they finished it, they put down seed, and we are just waiting for that to start to grow.

Bruce has another "I have to go out to this really nice restaurant tonight with the guys I work with" outing tonight. I hate those! It's bad enough that Emily and I are home alone, but it just happened to fall on a really bad time for me. Emily wants me and whines for me to hold her every second of the day. The only time she doesn't is when she is sleeping, and it is very hard for me. I mean, I love that she loves me and wants me, but sometimes I need a break, and there is NOTHING that Bruce can do to get her to go to him. It is so frustrating that I never get a break, and trust me, I REALLY NEED ONE!!! So, to have Bruce gone, even for a night, really sucks for me!!! Then he "HAS" to go to England next month, so, we're home alone again. Then, when he gets back from that, it's another "No family can go, just employees, luxury dinner cruise on Lake Minnetonka". I'd say it was a joke, but it's not really ha-ha-funny.

Well, as you can probably tell I have reached the emotional time of pregnancy, LOL! :) Ooooh, I just heard some thunder...anyway, I just wished mom's got sick or vacation time. I could really use some time off.

Hugs,
Dawn

Finally, I got the ultrasound pictures scanned. I don't think they turned out too well, but hopefully good enough...

You can click on any of the pictures to enlarge them, just so you know...


One more picture...Isn't she SOOOO cute!!!





Here are some pictures of Emily and us from this weekend. My Uncle Jerry, and his kids, Andy and Jen, and their families came over for a great time!!!

Hopefully we will get our ultrasound pictures scanned and posted soon.

IT'S A BOY!!!!
We're so excited to be having a son. A daughter and son; could it get any better? :)

We painted Emily's room Disney Princess pink and purple and put up a light pink chair rail. It looks so cute! We will be getting the baby boy's nursery ready soon, but Emily's baby furniture won't be moved into it until after he is here, and has been for a few months. Emily will get 'big girl' furniture. I hope the transition goes well.

Another 20 weeks and he will be here (due Christmas Day). Hopefully we can agree on a name by then. We haven't even started to consider names yet, and Bruce doesn't like the name I like, so we're gonna have some stressful times ahead. :)
