As if I didn't already know...

Today any doubt that I may have had about really being pregnant is gone. I haven't really doubted, but until I see my baby I always wonder. Enough wondering...no I didn't get my sonogram, but I did get my former craving...grilled cheese on wheat bread with pickles and ketchup on the side. I really haven't had the desire for that since my last pregnancy and today at the health club...I couldn't stop thinking about it. I got home showered , turned on biggest loser(not the best show for my uncoming meal) and made my sandwich. Luckly by the time I sat down Dr. Phil was on and I felt more at home comparing my life with their life over a cheesy, pickled, tomato sauced up sandwich.
My stomach has gotten bigger. I go on Wednesday for my sonogram...can't wait to actually find out how far along I am. Jeff comes home Thursday and he is bringing me a big bottle of Tums. It is so romantic....I know. I figure to have any chance of romance when he gets home, I will have to stop burping for at least...a few minutes...I mean a few hours....yea thats what I meant.

The Next Great Pastry Chef....

He may be the next "Naked Chef"




Today I decided to be a nice mom and make sugar cookies. This is something that Ian usually does with his 2 grandmothers and he loves it. We have been in the house since Thursday night...Ian has been ill. He is feeling much better and will return to school tomorrow morning. I will get to go to the gym, plant some mums, and just rest. I have found that being pregnant at 39, having a 5 year old that is sick, and a husband that has been traveling for 3 WEEKS is a little too much for me to handle....yes...Jeff does come home Thursday.




Here are some pictures for you Jeff....we also made a video for you. You will be required to eat at least one of the dog cookies when you get home.....see video for more information. Enjoy this....I will stop writing since I know you are waiting. By the way, Ian is feeling back to normal now...he is eating his 3rd taco!!!

What does a mom do at night.....

If you are me you decide to find a Fall template for you blog....in the process you lose the blog roll that you had on your last one. I will need some help figuring this out Holli...I forgot how to do it...you young girls know all this stuff....I will get help sometime soon.

I finally got an appt......

I finally got an appt from the sonogram people. They explained that they really wanted to see me by Sept. 8th...I than explained that no one had called...that is why I was calling. Anyway, we got the appt. for next Thursday.....Jeff is maybe going to be home. She than said just to refer to my "letter" on how go get there and where to go...."what letter"....you did get the "letter"? They are sending me a letter to give me the details...basically they are....park in the car park...go to the glass building to the left of the hospital called The Treatment Center and check in....easy enough....or at least it seems.
I will be glad to find out how far along I am....I look about 5 months, but am probably only 3 weeks...only kidding....I really don't know, but what I do know is that I am gettting big. Jeff you will be in for a shock....get those Gap maternity clothes here asap!!!

We are on day 2 of all day school.....

Ian is doing ok....I on the other hand.....not so well. I hate this!!! It just doesn't seem right to drop off my little boy and let someone else just be in charge of him all day long. He seems to like it, although he did mention he liked the half day thing better than the whole day thing at school. If I wasn't having a baby in ? months....I would be going crazy. Which reminds me....I need to go and pursue a sonogram....since it has been 2 weeks and they still haven't called me.....
All kidding aside, I have just had a really hard time letting go.....I of course had my moments, but overall I HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IAN!!!

I am finally getting around to posting photos...

I really hope he learns to smile very soon...anyway...this is his friend and our neighbor...Isobel...they sit by each other in class. Ian claims she is only 1/2 girl...don't know what that means yet...I think that she likes bugs and playing with cars.

The morning activity...every morning they start out with a quick actvity that the parents do with them.

This is Ians coat and gym bag hook. He has a place on the bottom for his indoor shoes.

Ian walking into school...you once he is about 20 steps ahead of me!!

This is Ian right before we left the house....he was excited to get there and see what this "school" thing was all about...



I know I posted these photos in the wrong order, but it took me forever to get them uploaded. Ian likes school so far...he starts going all day tomorrow. I will have to pack his lunch in the morning...this will be his first day eating at school. He seems fine with it...me on the other hand...I wish he was only 1/2 day. This has been so much harder on me than I thought it would...Ian of course is clueless. At times I envy those that can't wait to get there kids out the door, but that is not me....my mom was the same way...thanks mom.

I hope you enjoy the photos Jeff....we wish you were here....come home....we miss you!!!!

I promise I will post photos tomorrow...

Ian had his first day of school...he LOVED it!! We got up this morning at 7:30a.m. and started going with our day. It was easy for Ian...not so easy for me. He ate, brushed his teeth, watched cartoons, and ran around until 8:45...time to leave for school. He looked so cute...we got there, found his coat hook, put his book bag away, looked around the room, etc. The room was amazing...they are doing a "What did you do on holiday?" unit...such cool stuff they brought in for the kids to see and play with for the next week.
The bell rang and all the mums leave for the day....I came home, cleaned up a little, and headed off to do errands. I was back to get him at 12:00 because they are on a short schedule this week, next week it will be until 3:00. He came out the door and told me that he loved every minute and it was fantastic!!!
When we got into the car he stripped down to his underwear....he hates the uniform!! He knows he has to wear it because all the kids do, but he likes his other clothes. He explained how cool his new tan shirt would look with his brown vest and brown Puma shoes....I agree, but sorry....not going to happen.
It was a great day!! The only thing missing is Jeff....GET HOME NOW!!! I can't take this anymore....it has been 5 days...5 days to long....come home!!
I will post photos tomorrow....I am off to bed...this whole school thing is really not working for my sleeping habits....I don't do mornings
