Lots O'stuff

Ah...spring/summertime! My "busy" time at work and it has been a crazy one this year...good grief! Last week was a blast but I literally wore myself out. I was sick Sunday and Monday...ugh. It doesn't help that I can't take anything that actually might help me feel better.

I heard the heartbeat for the first time yesterday...even when you know you are pregnant, there's no relief like hearing your baby's rapidly beating heart. It took Iyanna (my awesome nurse) a little while to find it and I had to pee like a MOE, so it didn't help when she started pressing harder around my bladder area to catch that little person inside me. Already a problem child ;)

Natalie turned 3 on May 27! We had a nice party for her in our backyard with all of her friends and ours...and family of course. My baby is such a big girl now...wearing big girl undies to bed and getting up when she needs to go "potty"...oh, *sob* my baby is gone :( But her big news is that SHE is also having a baby! A little girl to be named "Isabelle Grace" and her baby and my baby are going to be sisters...hmmm...she even rubs her belly when she talks about it.

We had a family party at my parents house in Oklahoma the weekend before Nat's bday so that Stephanie (who had just given birth that week) didn't have to travel right away with new baby Carson Kaleo Dobbs! We hd a princess party with tiaras and cupcake cake...we had a blast! I wish I lived closer to them!

Last weekend, Steph, Zach, Zander and Carson (along with Zach's mom, Jan) came up to Topeka to see us. We went to see Thomas the Train in Baldwin City and had so much fun! The train ride was fun although if I had to hear Thomas the Train song ONE MORE TIME, I think I would've screamed ;) But we had a great time! Until I got a speeding ticket on the way home...UGH!

Saturday night was the Perry Pride committee's first ever Summer Social with a Fish Fry, Ice cream social, popcorn and a movie...whew...it was a huge hit and we are planning another one soon.

Okay...enough rambling for now...
