I really don't have anything new to blog about, but I also feel bad that I have not updated my blog in some time. The boys continued work on the nursery yesterday and I will post some pics of that soon but it's pouring down the rain/freezing rain today and I am not going outside.
I have my next Peanut appointment tomorrow and am excited about that. I always like to hear the heartbeat and know everything is okay. Last appointment, as you all know, I got to see the baby unexpectantly because the doc could not get the heartbeat through the handheld listening device, so the good Doc did an ultrasound. I am hoping that an ultrasound is in my future tomorrow as well because we are at the point to determine the gender.
We are supposed to find out at the end of March, but if I can find out tomorrow, I am gonna!!!
Other than that, not much is going on. I will say that Idol this year is not as good as last year. I know there is no way last year's season can be beat but this is awful. They need to send almost all the boys home and keep about 4 girls instead of going through the next several weeks only delaying the inevitable.
On the menu tonight: Pork tenderloin; marinated in Peppercorn, boiled potatoes, and broccoli.
Peace Out!!!

Nursery progress...

Well the boys have been steadfast with working on the nursery. Right now half of the nursery is up and the other half is on its way. I have provided pictures of the progress thus far. Don't forget that the room will come out to the concrete, lol. Still it's not a big room but it is a perfect size for a Peanut :)

I would also like to extend a warm Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. I am not a big fan of the commericalized holiday but I am only one person~lol.

Something new that I also wanted to start was something called "On the menu tonight." I don't know about everyone else but I get tired of having the same old dinner meals every week. I figured if we all shared what was "on the menus" at our houses, others; like myself :) could get some ideas for new dinners.

On the menu tonight: Lasagna, garlic bread, and a nice salad with Zesty Italian dressing

Peace Out!!!

All smiles

Here's the happy couple at my Grandma's Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMMIE!!!

The Doctor's appointment

So on Monday I had another "peanut" appointment. It went well. My appointment was at 9:15am and they didn't take me back into the exam room until almost 10 though. That did not make me happy.

So the nurse put me back in the room and explained that the Dr. would be in a few minutes to talk with me. I thought this was great because this is the first time meeting my actually dr. so I was all excited.

I waited and she came in and we spoke briefly about my history and yadda. Then she said that I needed to undress and put on that wonderful paper vest and paper sheet thing~lol. Come to find out it was a complete physical!!! Luckily I had showered and shaved :)

So after all that exploration of worlds unknown, she said "Let's listen to the baby!"

Okay, then I was excited. She was going to use one of those hand held listening things and stated that since I was early in the pregn. it would probably take her a few minutes to find the heartbeat and I should not get alarmed.

Well she listened and listened and even listened some more and she couldn't hear it. Then she stated the most wonderful words ever~"I think the baby is still too small to hear through the belly so LET'S DO ANOTHER ULTRASOUND!!!"

Yeah! I go to see Peanut again. Peanut looks like a baby now and Peanut's little heart was just a beating. The Doc said the heart was very strong and the baby was growing right on time :)

So the Peanut is doing wonderful!!!!

Then it was off for a urine sample and some blood work, fun time over with~LMAO!!!

I thought that I would update you guys.

On another note, I caught one of my dogs on the bed yesterday (they are not allowed up there anymore b/c we bought a brand new mattress) and she was sound asleep so I had to snap this pic. Enjoy:

Peace Out!!!
