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!

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.

Tuesday, May 20, 2003

:) 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!).

IM HAVING TWINS. ONCE THE SHOCK OF THIS WEARS OFF ILL POST MORE

Friday, April 11, 2003

Doctors appointment went well in Thursday. I guess I have a large womb. I am not sure if that was bad news or not because the OB is a very wierd lady. Have an ultrasound next week Friday. I dont know if thats when we can find out if its a boy or not...whatever....


Puked this morning right out of the shower, very pleasant. Treat day at work, made cookies and taco pie and brought in candy and chips...all seemed to go over well. Alan brought in bagels. No plans as such for this weekend, maybe doing the D&D thing on Sunday...my guess is mr. dont call dont write wont show up, which isnt a big loss really, mikey may be paintballing so he may be out as well and I think muench is visiting Vic in Indiana this weekend....more later.

Thursday, April 03, 2003

busy week, kind of....my fatherinlaw and his buddy are coming over to determine if we are eligible for free siding in which case we will do the house in white. then tonight dale is going down to agp waukesha to play robots with jeff and "kick his pansy ass all over the place" *evil laugh*. Ive been trying to find a decient feat to take all week. i guess we may (or may not) be gaming on sunday, but we will get together anyways and board game it. alans going to opening day tomorrow so i have to deal with no one to talk to at work about the goldfish...sigh

went to doctor yesterday, heard the babys heartbeat for the 1st time, 160 beats per minute, i am giving birth to a rabbit or a bumble bee, as dale said "the smaller the animal the faster the heartbeat." and i think the animal in my belly is about the size of a very small mouse. i guess i am healthyer than normal, which is good, i have this huge iron count so that means i dont have to chow down on these icky prenatal vitimins as much (yeah!) i got some antibiotics for this awful cough which makes me puke more than i should. yuck. lets see, oh, im losing weight (wierd?!) yet my pants dont fit which i guess is also good. so thats all the news thats fit to print about the babykid.


tonight dale and i will be grocery shopping or cleaning or buying paint, fun

AND SO, I GO TO THE DOCTOR AND SHES GOT AN EMERGENCY AND SO I HAVE TO RESCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW AT 11---"IT GOES UP TO ELEVEN."

NEW ANGEL TONIGHT WITH THE DELIGHTFUL (HA HA) GWEN RAIDEN

Tuesday, March 25, 2003

today is the second doctors appointment....i think today they check the heartbeat and stuff and weigh you in and tell you to eat more veggies and fruit etc....i am wondering when they do an ultrasound? I guess there are no units in the office so you have to make an appt downstairs in the hospital...and according to jeff who knows all things baby (and even things you dont want to know about babies) dale should be there for the 1st U/S, ill try to email the pictures around if we get some....

check out my new favorite website, THE DAILY WAV.COM I hope laura is having a blast in San Diego!

Lets see, Candle Party at V's on Sunday, saw Betsy and her mom, Josh, and The new kitties and Ali (who is huge!)-bought some candles (yum) and chatted with V for awhile...we havent seen each other in months!!! arg..her two cats, plus the dog decided i was a pillow-both cats were asleep on my belly (which is getting bigger) and the dog decided by thigh needed to be slept on...since when do animals like me that much?


sunday nite was eating homemade lasanga and doing the new puzzle and watching the oscars, it was nice that adrien brody and nicole kidman won...i absolutely loathe renee whatsherface so rockon nicole., my ankle is still swollen and hurted, i really miss advil.
