I'm Home!

I'm home and David has already run off. We had a great weekend. We took the scenic route up to Cascade and I'm glad we did. We saw some really pretty country. It was pretty chilly up there. Lake Cascade was still almost completely frozen. I couldn't believe it. There was quite a bit of snow left up there in some places.

We didn't do a whole lot. The main thing I wanted to do was go on the train ride but it was shut down in Cascade. We could have done a ride down in Horseshoe Bend but it was close to Boise and we didn't have enough time to drive down and get back before our dinner plans.

Friday we really didn't do much since we got there later in the evening. We got some soup and sandwiches and then went back to the Inn and relaxed. The bed was so amazing, I wanted to bring it home. Each night, the Inn serves milk and cookies at 8:00. I think that was the highlight of David's trip. Saturday we went further up north and drove through the Payette National Forest. It was pretty. There really wasn't much to do up there. David was bummed because he wanted to take his fishing pole but forgot it and his fishing license. So we came back to the Inn, relaxed some more and then went to our candlelight dinner. It was good. My only complaint, they only served water. People were bringing in their own wine bottles. David and I were surprised by the staff with a bottle of sparkling apple cider and wine glasses that were brought to our room.

Today we came back a different route and drove through Boise and Twin Falls. That was some boring country! I'm glad we went the other way to get there! We stopped off at Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls. Due to how low the water is, it was neat but not as great as I've heard it's been.

So now I think I'm going to start a movie and just hang out. My weekend's not over yet :0)

Happy Anniversary!!

It's a cold rainy morning here in Preston. What a beautiful way to start off my weekend getaway...not.

I'm sitting here while David puts a bolt on my alternator or something and then we'll finally be on our way. So far, we're only 41 minutes behind schedule. This thing he is doing was only supposed to take a few minutes. I have now checked my facebook, checked out pioneer woman's website and am now posting on here. I'm wondering why he's in the rain wearing a jacket with a hood and not wearing the hood. I'll never understand him.

Oh! The hood is going down! I must be on my way! We're taking the scenic route so we can do some sightseeing in the rain. I'm going to have lovely pictures to post. Oh and I apologize in advance for any pictures that may be seen of my hair today. My bed was nice and warm.

It's a Good Morning to Stay in Bed

I need to change my background. Easter is over.

Since work is really slow I have a lot of time read some things. I've been reading about cloth diapering as I've mentioned but I came across something called elimination communication. Geez. People who do this are people who do not put diapers on their children at all. They learn cues that their children give so they know when their child needs to go to the bathroom. Um, no thank you.

David is taking off work tomorrow so we can leave earlier for our mini vacation!! I feel like I haven't gone anywhere in a million years. I think I have spring fever or something! David and I are both excited.

This morning is really cloudy. We had some nice rain yesterday but I don't know what the weather is supposed to do today. Looks pretty gross out. I like cloudy mornings.

Hopefully after this weekend I'll finally have some pictures to post!!

It's Only 7:57 AM...

I got a baby swing yesterday! A co-worker gave it to me and it's in really excellent condition. It's kind of crazy that I have a baby swing...

I've been trying to eat breakfast for the last hour. I think today might be a better day? Yesterday was, so hopefully today will be better too. I've gotta figure something out! How in the world does the Duggar lady have so many children? She must not get sick! At first David would tell me "you're the one who wanted to be pregnant" but now I think he just feels sorry for me!

I guess there's some confusion going on at his work. I don't know what all that entails since he and I don't get much time to talk. So, I'm not sure if he's going to go back to days next week or not. I sure hope so. I hate him working nights. So does he.

David and I are leaving Friday to spend the weekend in Cascade. Have I mentioned I'm super excited? We thought we were going to go for one night but we get to go for 2 now! Yay! That'll give us more time to sight see. I'd like to go on a train ride but I'm kind of concerned about the whole sickness thing. Other people might be grossed out if I'm dry heaving...

Until next time!

12 Weeks

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.

Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

Bored

I'm watching Beetlejuice. I haven't seen it in years.

Today was a really rough day. I was sooo sick until late this afternoon. I had a hard time falling asleep last night and so I was extra tired today. Not to mention I don't have anything to do at work so it's even harder to stay awake while sitting in my office all day. I wore my sea bands all day but they're not miracle workers. That's for sure. Tomorrow is a new day though. Tomorrow I will be 12 weeks and I'm hoping that the next week or so brings some relief. I pray I'm not the kind of girl who's going to be sick my whole pregnancy.

I'm already getting winded in the middle of the night when I have to climb down out of the loft and then back up it and over David. I can't wait until he goes back to days. This is the last week of nights :0)

I booked a room for us for our anniversary and we're going to have a candle light dinner! I just hope I can eat for it. I am so looking forward to this. David and I never spend time alone it seems. So this is good. I can't wait to use my camera!

Well, my movie is almost over and I better get to bed soon. I have to get up early...

April 19, 1995

Wow, I can't believe it's been 15 years since the bombing. I still remember that day as I know most Oklahomans do.

I feel like crap. I might lose my mind. I don't think my sea bands work. Some things say that the first trimester isn't over until 13 weeks some say 12. If you divide the 40 weeks by 3 than you get 13 weeks. Anyway, I'm coming to the end of it. I should be feeling better but I think it's worse. Ugh.

Friday is our 5 year anniversary and I decided that I wasn't going to push doing anything because I always do. But then my sweet husband remembered that I've been wanting to go to an inn up in Cascade, ID. And he told me to book a room! I am so excited! This will be our last mini vacation before baby is born...wow. I'm sure since we have no family around it will be our last for a long while :0) So I'm really looking forward to it. I wish it were later in the spring season as I'm sure it would be super beautiful up in Cascade. I might see about taking a train ride through the mountains on a railway made for the miners or lumber guys back in the early 1900's, or something like that.

Well, I'm going to continue sipping my 7 up and try eating something. Blech
