What Dreams May Come...

Last night I had a weird dream; probably the first of many during this pregnancy. I know the women have the body changes that are happening but I also know that the men go through things to. Here is the weird/not so funny dream:

We were getting everything together to leave the hospital after having the baby. Family and friends were there and we had "baby in tow." The only thing is though, I do not remember anything about Jennifer going into labor, the trip to the hospital, getting Jennifer in a room, the delivery, or anything; nothing; notta; zip!!! I started asking Jennifer and she wouldn't tell me anything either. The only thing I knew was that we had a baby, it was a Boy, and I didn't know what we named him either?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

So, since I think only Ladies read my blog, did anyone's husband have any kind of dreams that they told you about? But here's hoping that mine will ONLY be a dream!

Exciting Journey

I just wanted to say again that I am REALLY excited about our "jeneric" that is forming more and more everyday.

Since I saw the ultrasound yesterday I look at Jennifer in a completely different way. It is just so amazing to know that there is life growing inside of her.

Each afternoon I am out campaigning until sometimes 8:30 like last night. When I came in Jennifer said that "little-bit" has been crying for me all day and that it's happy to see me. Come on now, you know it makes you smile. It makes me smile.

Jennifer is getting bigger each day and it is crazy that as of today we are already 11 weeks along.

I know most of you are "wishing or claiming" it to be a girl and that is fine. I know it will be "Daddy's little girl."

Just wanted to share my excitement again. And Nicole, the FIL is just as excited as well as my BIL. He wants to be kept updated just as much as the FIL.

Baby Pic...

Hello everyone,

As promised, here is the update on "Jeneric."

The appointment went great. On the Ultrasound you will see, very clearly, how the baby is lying on its back with its head on the left side and feet to the right.

After getting to see the baby we also got to hear the heartbeat which we also saw on the ultrasound. It is very fast coming in at 164.

The date of birth is staying at February 22nd and we are exactly 10wks and 6 days.

Everything is moving right along as scheduled and though some of you were hoping for "two" babies in there, there is only one! Our next appointment is Aug. 26th. This will just be a check-up appointment. Hopefully 8wks from today they will be able to determine if Jeneric is a boy or girl.

Thank you for your continued prayers, concern and support. We are really excited and it was so Awesome to see and hear all we did today. To God be the Glory!!!

Weekend Recap...

-Went grocery shopping on Friday (spent longer in the store than wanted to) My neighbor came over when I pulled into the drive. Needless to say, I never made it out to campaign. This was fine because I feel asleep on the couch so I needed the rest.

-Slept in Saturday until 8:25am. Could have slept longer but the phone rang and when I answered it no one was there. Lounged around until about 9:30, then a friend called and I meet him for Breakfast. (note: Please keep the Webb family in your prayers. These are people I know who's 25 year old daughter was killed in a car accident Friday night. The grandmother works here with me. It is very upsetting for the family as you can imagine.) Thank you for your prayers!!!
Got back home after breakfast and did some house cleaning. Went to the inlaws for dinner and then a friend (aka: second mom) and we talked until about 10pm.

-After church on Sunday we had lunch at the inlaws and then it was home where I did some work outside and then a friend and I went and put out some more of my campaign signs. "Painting the Town Blue!!!"

Now it is Monday! I WILL be campaigning this afternoon. Tomorrow morning at 8:30 we have our 2nd Doctors appointment. Stay tuned tomorrow about mid-day or afternoon for an appointment update.

What's in store???

Weekend schedule:

-Campaigning after work
-Stop by grocery store to shop. I would wait until Saturday but I hate going to the store on Saturday. I really don't like going on Friday but oh well.
-Will put out some campaign signs on Saturday morning.
-Do a little yard work
-Do some house cleaning...yes, I clean. And as Jamie said, I need to get over things not being clean or perfectly cleaned. I am working on it but can't learn over night. But yes, having a Baby changes not just things...but EVERYTHING!
-Rest!
-Maybe call up a certain friend I know who's mom and dad have a pool and see about going for a swim and a layout?!
-Church on Sunday
-Probably dinner with the inlaws
-Rest
-Put the trash by the road for Monday pick up
-Bed

So, is anyone doing anything exciting?

Baby Burp Cloths...

These were given to us, to Jennifer, from her Secret Sister at church. Who knows, maybe the room is going to have to be painted like these?

CVSn'

Jennifer has been doing the CVS trips and I am really proud of her. Thanks to all who told us about it because it REALLY is saving us money. Here was what she got yesterday:

Can you tell we are already starting to stock up on certain things?!
Grand Total: $42.37
OOP: $8.22
ECB's earned: $6.00
Not having to use up half of our grocery budget: Priceless!

Tree Branch

Yesterday afternoon I stopped by the house to change shoes and then hit the streets to campaign. Before I went in the house I checked the mail.

When I came out of the house, which I was in no more than 3 minutes, I went back outside and saw that a tree limb had fallen behind the car...that quick! I am glad it didn't land on the car.

1 Chornicles 4:10

Jabez prayed to the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that you would wonderfully bless me and help me in my work; please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all evil and disater." And God granted him his request. (the living bible translation)

Much needed

Rain!

We have been getting MUCH NEEDED rain. Though, as always, it has come in the form of thunder storms and falls so fast that it starts flooding the roads.

Have I mentioned to you that I am EXCITED about becoming a Daddy. Everyone at church last night kept asking me questions and including, believing, that we are having twins! I hear that twins have to run on the womans side for that to happen and not the guys. But then I have heard it the other way around too.?! Either way, we are excited and are anxious about our doctors appointment on the 29th. If there is one heart beat...GREAT...if there is two...DOUBLE GREAT!!!

Dad's 50th Bday pics

Surprise!!!

While out campaigning yesterday guess which door I knocked on??? Give Up??? The other guy that is running in my district. Surprise!

His wife was the one to answer the door. She told me her first name only but the tag on one of the cars gave it away. She was nice! The weird thing is that the whole time I am walking up the driveway I thought to myself that this was his house. I knew he lived in the area but was not sure exactly where? Then I saw the car at the council meeting last night and knew for sure that it was his house I stopped at.

Well, if he didn't know before, he knows now that I am going door to door.

I did get GREAT response from campaigning yesterday so that makes me feel good.

2 Years...

Today, my Bride and I are celebrating our 2 year Anniversary!!! (I am at work and she is in bed) Two years already have come and gone! CRAZY!!! Time has gone by so fast and is only getting faster!

The wedding was at 2pm, so it was probably about 2:30pm on July 22, 2006 when we said "I do".

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!
