Second Trimester...

It has been a slow but fast first trimester to this pregnancy (yes I'm pregnant if you didn't catch that in the last post...lol) and we are so excited!

Next week will be the beginning of week 13, and I'm definitely starting to show, or at least SWELL it seems. I'm hoping that it becomes more obvious soon so that people don't just think I'm getting lazy and fat now that I'm married!!

I don't usually follow the news much, but all this political horror (did McCain really start getting more supporters at some point??) has really been freaking me out. I'm as much from Alaska as the bulldog with lipstick is and wow...I never thought I'd be nervous to say that to anyone!! I am pretty freaked out at the way this campaign is going, because I care about my rights, my friends rights, my mothers rights, ALL women's rights. I also care about people who don't make much money, I understand that the tax breaks that Bush and McCain are talking about benefit the rich and not us regular joe shmoes out here going to work every day and I DO think it makes sense to pay more if you are making more, I know since I've gotten a salary job I donate more to charities because it only seems fair!!

Anyway, I don't want this to be just a political blog or anything, but please vote based on facts and issues and not who can get on the front page of people the most...please...please...care about yourself and your fellow americans more than that.

If you don't know what it can lead to...go watch this movie. I guarantee if you see it you won't vote for people who campaign like they are talking to a 10 year old: IDIOCRACY ...America is just getting more and more dumbed down, and as funny as this movie was to watch the first time, I feel like it is becoming reality faster than we can imagine.

Dreams of babes...

I had a dream last night that was very very vivid...I usually dream but forget them right away, last night was funny because it took FOREVER to get to sleep and when I finally did I was having this dream...basically I was with my daughter, at some kind of birthing center, and I knew my sister was having her baby (she's not pregnant) and I felt like I would be soon too (but no pain) and upon walking into the building (clean place, no where I have ever been) I found her lying in bed peacefully with her new baby. I calmly walked back to another room thinking "it's my turn" along with my daughter and we got into a little tub/pool thing, very shallow, like a wading pool. I had a feeling like I should push and I heard someone tell me basically if you can feel it with your hand, it's ready, and in my dream it was like I felt down between my legs and the head was RIGHT there! (still no pain strangely enough) and so I peacefully reached down with my hand, and pushed/pulled the baby up to my breast. I remember in my dream my daughter watching with with joy as the wrinkled little newborn hungrily latched on for the first dose of mommy milk.

It was a WONDERFUL dream...and I hope I have it a few more times at least...I think just thinking about the dream will help me sleep tonight.

Heard a new heartbeat today...

Yes! It's exactly what you think it is...Kenzie and Geoff were with me at the midwife's office and Kenzie got to hear her own heartbeat too...now we're getting ready for our 'next' big day...

First time on bike!

Hanging out

About to be uncovered!

We're at the statue of liberty about to be uncovered! She's checking it out.

Feeling a little better...

Yesterday was rough!!! I had some kind of 24 hour flu or something, on Wednesday I had a runny nose when I got on the bus, and by the time I was going to bed I was hacking and everything!

Yesterday morning I sounded like a monster and after going to my doctors appointment I just SLEPT...I went home and was OUT for almost the rest of the day, with an hour up here and there...exhausted.

Today I felt MUCH better, but still a little out of it and semi-sneezy but not too bad.

I hate getting sick!! I feel like I just had a cold after the honeymoon too, enough already!!

Beautiful Day. . .

I just wish i didn't feel so sick. I'm sneezy, coughing like crazy, out of it, tired and overall just blah. Life is good, and it's pretty out, but i do not feel good today. I hope tomorrow is better.

First Day. . .

I'm on the bus without my Kenzie, drop off went pretty smoothly but i miss her! She was a big girl and pushed both Geoff and me out of the classroom with no tears. This picture is from a show we watched together this weekend, looks like how i feel!

Voting for Obama

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew...


I just got a text from his campaign asking me to donate for the disaster relief via the American Red Cross...so freaking smooth.
