dale still dizzy and sick in bed today. meds make him super drowsy so he spent all weekend sleeping, fun. its hard to take care of someone else who is sick when you can barely take care of yourself. The kids spent most of the weekend kicking the hell out of me. The cat is now sleeping behind me keeping my neck warm. Dale is sleeping keeping the bed warm and I'm working. everyone else in this house has it really really easy.

spent like 4 hours at the Er last night as dale has some inner ear vertigo thingy which makes him really really dizzy and stuff. remind me that when you are 8 months pregnant, 4 hours in the er on a stool in a hot room really sucks....no, really it does, since dale is sick we have done nothing this weekend, i went to the market and got food, went to the pool and floated the kids and spent the rest of the day getting my stomach kicked from here to kentucky by these kick boxing maniacs.

check out my new carLEGACY WAGON

May I say that I love the new Google toolbar from Blogger! It blocks pop-ups, fills in my email address etc in forms online and I can blog from anywhere on the web, mucho mucho gusto!

Busy weekend. Dale and I had a date nite and went to Sticks & Stones in Brookfield on Friday night. It was very very tasty-very. Then we went to look at cars. We are going to test drive a Subaru Legacy Wagon at the Acura dealership Tonight. It's pretty sweet, and darker blue, and stick (thank god)!

Saturday spent time with Dan who is here from Texas, was at Jeffs then went to the Pond to cook out and swim and play a crazy game of bocci (which turned into Sand Bocci and toss the ball 7000 feet bocci thanks to Muench).

Sunday we gamed here at our place and ate Yummy food from the deli (thanks mikey). Now this week I (Thankfully) have very little to do, no doctors appointments, no baseball games, and all I need to do is head into the office on Friday to go to a 1 hour meeting (and lets hope I feel shitty enough to just call in for it!)

Sprechen of that, I actually feel pretty crappy. Have a cold (gotta be from the pond), Im achy pretty much everywhere from the waste down (except my back doesnt hurt, go figure?) My boss is gone all week in CT so I'm not sure how much real work (new) I will get this week, looks like another week of updating the manual for training, yippie skippy!

bah, what a bust yesterday. We didnt get to get the 4d ultrasound, just a normal 3d ultrasound (albet with the new logiq 9's). We have a Cd rom of pictures, (if you want to see a few, email me and I will send you some) but they arent as cool as the 4d would have been.) Plus my nerve was acting up during the scan so I was in alot of pain on my back :(

We saw the girls fighting however. Apparantly my kid (baby "b") was kicking dales kid "baby a" in the crotch. Now this isnt really what was happening as they have a pretty thick membrane between them, but on the scan it looks like shes pushing the membranes and her foot was in the other girls crotch. and baby a had her hands up by her face, which was funny...i think we have it on the vcr tape of the scan.

the plummer is here now fixing our sink (we have a new one and a new faucet) and the cat is freaked.

Today will be super busy! 9am doctors appt, 11am carpet guy here, 3:30 ultrasound (4D whoo hoo), after that my dad is taking out our sink as we get a new one tomorrow, so tomorrow the plummer comes at 8:30 then i have mechwarrior at 6pm. one of these days i need a break. its getting pretty hard to move around, it tired me out to walk around sams last nite, bah!

busy weekend this weekend! Saturday went to the dump, the dentist, the kmart for a cooler, the grocery store (2x), and the booze store (the looks that I got being pregnant and carrying booze out were funny), and my parents house (2x) to pick up a grill and a cooler.

we got pulled over 2 seconds outside of my parents house for not having a front plate on my truck (i havent had a front plate since I bought it 2 years ago) and were let off with a "warning" to "fix" that.

we then had everyone over for the worlds largest BBQ/babyshower. Had many sausages this weekend, also some yummy spinich dip (thanks robin) and brownies (thanks robin and carol!). Played a rousing game of bocci in the backyard (the anti-reynolds beat the reynolds 12-10 thanks to my stunning 2 point last round)....then Muench, Mike, Dale, Jeff and I stayed at our place LATE to play munchkin and illuminati. Jeff brought over Papa Murphys-yum.

sunday mikey got a free 1/2 barrel (about 1/2 of it was left) from his bosses boss who had party on saturday and no one drank. sooo, dan, julie, mike, muench, jeff, jim, crystal, jake, nikki, me and dale went down to the pond to eat the leftover food from saturday and help finish the keg (except for me, I didnt help down warm MGD). I left around 4pmish and came back at around 7:30ish to find dale very very drunk in the pond with jake and mikey. went back home, got my suit and drove in to swim me and the girls out to the far raft to watch over said drunk hubbie.

around 8:30ish took my drunk hubbie home and make him mac and cheeze since he hadnt eaten anything but chips all afternoon.

2:am drunk hubbie proceeded to wake all of us up by throwing up in the bathroom. On a good note he did toss out the garbage can he puked in before coming back to bed.

3am drunk hubbie finally took some asprin like I told him too 4 hours before.

and now its 8am and I am working today.

plan on hitting the BB game to watch bucko coach in a few hours.

Bah its raining again and the kids are kicking me and I'm tired and sore from sleeping.
Im going back to bed.

So next week I am getting a GE 3d ultrasound Click here to see what they look like The cool thing is they can video tape the ultrasound and also put pictures on a blank CD-R for you. So next week I can email everyone pictures of the kids. The ultrasound is so detailed that you can see their faces, fingers, eyelashes etc..

Some of the people at work who were pregnant did'nt want to get the scan because they thought it would be too creepy to see what their kids looked like before they were born, which may or may not bother me, I don't know...

I know my mother in law is excited about seeing them, Dale's cousin had a 4d scan done with her first baby (and maybe the 2nd one, Im not sure....) and it is really amazing. So if you would like to purchase a lovely Voluson 730/Logiq 7 or Logiq 9 let me know, I can hook you up with a nice sales rep!

SAW T3 TODAY WITH DALE AND MUENCH, I MUST SAY, IT WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. THE GIRLS EITHER REALLY LIKED IT OR REALLY HATED IT BECAUSE THEY KICKED THE HELL OUT OF ME DURING THE WHOLE FILM AND ARE STILL KICKING NOW...MAYBE THEY LIKE AH-NOLD OR MAYBE THEY THINK HES AN AUSTRIAN-UW STOUT GRAD-HAS BEEN, WHO KNOWS. VOTE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION!

BLOOD PRESSURE BACK UP NOW ITS 138/70, DAMN, THEY MAY STOP ME FROM WORKING. THANKS TO NANCY AND BREEZY FOR THE SWING WE GOT TODAY, SO CUTE, YOU TWO ROCK! HAVING GRILLED STEAK AND POTATOES FOR DINNER-YUM YUM.

Yet another lazy work filled day at home. Its now the end of the day so its very sunny in the kids room (where I work) so the cat is doped out on the floor in the sun and I'm pretty doped out here. Have spent most of the day working or resting, the kids are moving alot and I get tired easily....Dale coming home early this week due to July 4th so we may get to eat dinner early and hit the gym...!

Hello again. Had baby shower today, had a nice time, only downfall is my aunt doesnt have AC and I was hot....No biggie. We had alot of nice things given to us, which makes me realize how much more stuff we''ll need to buy eventually!

hello...today and last nite were busy nites...went to Johnson Creek with jeff and dale to play mechwarrior (dale won) which was good since he lost today at Hobbytown (woo hoo muench!) and was cheated at AGP tonite. I guess Eric decided to play a bigger army than allowed and Tim, Andy, and Dale were screwed. personally I wouldnt play with him anymore if I were them... I would just boycott him as a player. Now dale is at Steves on Bluemound with everyone drinking and (I assume) bitching.

News for everyone. Our Babyshower with all our friends is on July 12th, 2003, our place, I think 3pm, check with robin for details...if you didnt get an invite or an email invite, come anyways...bring lawn chairs, bring lawn games, bring sunscreen. We are registered at Target & Babies R Us hoorah.

tomorrow is visiting the kitty at the baumers, going to my aunts for the family baby shower and coming home with 100000 baby thingys which need to be put away. According to Jeff we will get more blankets than we know what to do with.

Tonight I was locked out of the house so I spent a few hours at Jeff and Kristys eating dinner, playing with Kieran etc...Went to the family house and lay down and finally dale picked me up to come home where I have been watching "seven" on tv. That was pretty stupid because now I am wired and cant sleep. ergo, I am blogging at 12:24am.

I also found a new sign of the end of the world, I guess Dennis Miller is now in Bush's corner for reelection, Click Here what has the world come to?

Hello! You can now leave comments for me on the webpage...Click on the comment link to leave a comment etc...Its been pretty crazy around our house the past few weeks. I'm pretty much on house arrest, working from home, trying not to walk around too much, laying down all the time...Its getting harder to get up off of things when im sitting or lying down....Ive been missing phone calls because I cant get to the phone in time (you would think i would just keep the phone with me...that would be too simple.)

Cleaning has become really hard too. I tried to clean the bathtub last nite (well I did clean it) it just was impossible to bend the right way to get it done quickly...I think thats the last time I clean the tub for awhile.

Ive set up shop in the babies room for my home office for the time being. Im on the big green comfy chair and the printer is next to the changing thingy and I have shit all over the crib and floors, its pretty humerous. The cat seems pretty pissed off that I'm in here since she has decided to claim this room as her own.

Speaking of cats, dales parents have a new kitten who is named squeeks. We are going over to see him on Sunday. Sunday is also the day of the 1st babyshower (relatives only)...Which means loading up the car with stuff.

Robin is throwing us a babyshower/BBQ at our place on JULY 12TH 2003!Come one come all, bring your lawnchairs, grab something off the babies gift list from target or babies r us and come eat brats and burgers and whatnot....We hope to play croquet or bocci in the backyard (hopefully mike can come and can bring his set), hang out, eat food, drink beer (for those of us who can drink) and generally be lazy with our friends!

Big good bye to Derek who is leaving for Japan in a month!

BLOOD PRESSURE IS REALLY REALLY HIGH, I HAD TO DO SOME BLOOD WORK AND WHATNOT AND I HAVE TO GO IN TUESDAY TO CHECK MY PRESSURE. I COULD HAVE TO GO ON BEDREST OR STOP WORKING SO MUCH OR SOMETHING, DONT KNOW YET. YIPPIE.

tomorow MW in the am, resting in the PM, maybe hit the gym.

dale is gone on his trip with our friend gary, his brother Mike and mikes friend. They left last nite around 5pm and should have made it to Michigan last night. havent been able to reach him on the cellphone yet, oh well.

today I went to westwood to swim this morning, which was nice, now im kind of achy, which is not nice because im busy at work (home).

tonight for dinner going into milwaukee to go to Oakland Trattoria with vanessa. Yum, then plan on coming home and going to sleep...no plans for tomorrow night, maybe get a pizza and rent a dvd or watch one of my own, maybe simpsons season 2? who knows....saturday we have mechwarrior in the am, nothing at nite...sunday gaming over here? with Jeff and co....hopefully dale comes home by then...

happy memorial day.

today we plan on hitting the gym (pool), heading down to mikeys pond for the annual dan and mike happy birthday/memorial day BBQ (looking forward to my cheddar brats), vanessa is coming over with josh around 2:30 (i think) to drop off my candles, see the cat, see the house...then dale wants to mow the lawn before he leaves for his trip to PA.

yesterday we did yard work. i edged the new flower beds, dale trimmed all the bushes (we now have a pile of branches all over the place.), and we decided to grill out BBQ chicken on our new miniweber grill (yummy and BBQ-y). repainted one of the new dressers and attached knobs, planning on painting the 2nd one today. watched the mavs lose to the spurs (which should make the pedens happy), went to bed.

back hurts a lot and dale says i am walking like a pregnant lady, which i think means i waddle.

we have girls names picked out, which is cool...i am almost done making the baby blanket, next thing to work on, bibs.

:) today i went to the doctor, have gained 20 lbs...interesting.. the babies are girls and we have picked names which are a secret....shhhh you cant know!.

kids are doing fine. we have finished the nursery (mostly) and are working on finishing the rest of the house...my dad in law said we may get new siding for free (yea!) and we get a new roof soon too (yea!).
