If I could time travel, I'd go to 2029

I would love to see the future. I would want to see what my life will be like. How many kids we end up having, where our lives have taken us and what we are doing. I would want to see how much things have changed in regards to technology.

Get lost in 'City of Bones' at the beach

It's a page turner that you won't want to put down because you'll want to find out how it ends. Keep in mind that it's a series so be ready to read 2 more after this.

'Tis better to have loved and lost

Why wouldn't you want to have someone that you love more than anything else and would do anything for that person than to go through life not having that? But I guess I can say that because I have someone who I love unconditionally and he loves me back the same way. It would be very hard to lose my husband and I pray nothing ever happens until we're old and gray together. But if that does happen I much rather have spent the time with him than never having met him at all.

My preferred writing medium

I like doing both. I love typing on a keyboard because I'm pretty quick at typing. It makes it so much easier when you're brain is thinking so fast and your hands can keep up while typing. I also love handwriting on paper. I'm a scrapbooker so I love handwriting on my journal. It's such a neat touch.

I'd fit in well in 'Twilight'

Umm if you've read the books you know why I would love to befriend Edward Cullen and become a vampire!!!

Hayden

So I get to the house this morning expecting nothing different with Hayden. The mom brings him down the stairs and he has this little patch over his right eye. I forgot that he had an eye doctor appointment Friday. They were concerned that at times his eyes seem to wonder, like a lazy eye. Well it turns out that both of his eyes wonder. There are a few things that can help solve this problem and the patch over the eyes is the first step. He has to wear the patch everyday for 2 hours on alternating eyes. They decided to do it first thing in the morning to get it over with. He was definitely more cranky than normal with it on, but it was over before we knew it. He did look so adorable with the patch on too. They call him a little pirate while it's on!! I just hope this helps because he's too cute to have something wrong with him.

Love at First Sight

Well I haven't posted in forever but we've been very busy. The move really seemed to wear me out so I've just been relaxing and not motivated to be on the computer much. But I just had to post about our first ultrasound.

Friday was our 10 week appointment. It was very long with lots of questions to answer. The good thing is that the nurse said everything is looking great and I'm a very healthy person. All of the blood work came back fine. Dave and I were both very nervous to make sure everything was good with me and the baby. She did a full body exam and had some concern about my thyroid. But I figured they would because I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid but never had to take any medication for it or anything. She said they will do some tests at another appointment but no concern at this point. She did a pap smear and some other things and then it was time for our ultrasound. She used the doppler to try to hear the baby's heartbeat which she couldn't find. That made me very nervous but the nurse said don't worry we'll hear it on the ultrasound.

She got the machine ready and pulled out this long, slim thing. She then tells me that this is an internal ultrasound. I was like, WHAT?? Did I hear that right? I had never heard of anything like that. I just assumed that everytime u did one it was that thing on your belly. I guess you learn something new everyday!!! She first checked for a twin which she called neighbors which I found was very funny. She was a really good nurse wife. Then we got to see our baby for the first time. I couldn't believe the feeling I had when she found it. I can't even describe how much I loved the little thing already. The baby didn't do much during the ultrasound but we saw the head, arms, legs and little heartbeat. Seeing and hearing the heartbeat was the neatest thing. All of our worries went away at that point. She did a few measurements to check we were correct with our timeframe. Dave is hoping that our baby is born around his bday which is Nov 18. My due date is Nov 27. After taking the measurements she clicked out and 2 dates were on the screen. The first one said Nov. 17 and Dave and I couldn't believe it. According to the size of the baby I was 11 weeks pregnant, but then we looked at the date her assistant put in for my last period and realized that was wrong. With the correct period date, I was still 10 weeks pregnant, due Nov 27. I felt bad for Dave cause he went from being so excited to a little disappointed. I keep reminding him I could deliver anytime around his bday. Everything was great and I'm set for another appointment in 6 weeks. After that we will make an appointment 2-4 weeks after that to find out the sex of the baby. That's the one we are really excited to have. Things are moving right along though!!
