The Good, Bad and Ugly Week

Well this past week (Nov 2-8) marked a mix of all feelings.... there were times it was good, others times when it was bad, and some ugly ones too.  Lets get the negative (bad and ugly times!) out of the way first then we can focus on the good! :)

Well knowing Peanuts day was Tuesday was hard for me.  Maybe being prego had something to do with it... but it will always be hard thats for sure. I was fine (or tried to be strong) all day until my dad (Tim) called, then I got off the phone with him and lost it. I actually had Kam come home from work and miss Wednesday to be with me....I was a WRECK! Now I know I could have called any of my friends or family and chatted till the cows come home, but I really just needed my husband.  I hope all understand that.  Things are better now, but lets just say that I cried so much I couldn't get one of my eyes open the next morning. Just a tough time, and probably a little nervous about this pregnancy, as anyone in my situation would be....

And for another bad/ugly situation, the Blue Hawk Girls....how sad was that?! They say, "Once a Blue Hawk, Always a Blue Hawk!" All DSU students and alum are like a family, honestly I cannot say that enough, very sad to hear about this situation and of course in my very emotional state, I cried quite a bit. May they rest in peace as this was by far the hardest thing the blue hawk family has had to go through. I was never more proud to be a hawk than last week.  What a great support staff we all have! I was proud to display my Alum shirt, my blue hawk pin, and my homecoming queen ring! It was GREAT! And this is coming from a true Hawk, one who bleeds Blue Hawk Blue everyday! :)

Now onto the good parts of my week.  As a prego lady you go through many up and down emotions so I know all weeks have highs and lows, but this past week the lows were below sea level and the highs were in high in the sky! :)

On Wednesday Kam and I ended up going for a drive and found ourselves in Fargo.  We had a wonderful day together and registered for baby gifts at Target.  It was so fun and as frustrated as it was for Kameron to control the registration gun, and put random things on this registry, i loved how much he got into it! :) he was so dang cute!!!! :)

Another good was having burgers fries and playing cards with friends, sometimes I need to laugh so hard I almost wet my pants, and trust me I needed it this week! :)

Continuing with the goods.......
I went to Bis with my mil Rusty and met my mom and sister Emy to get things ready for the nursery, we had a great lunch with our cousins and then shopped at Lowes for many hours! :)  Headed home and had supper at the Harvest and then started the painting in the nursery. About 2 am (around 5 hours past our normal bed time!) we headed to sleep, Sunday we slept in way too late (missed church-thats a bad!) and got busy finishing the walls and the floor. Kam and my mom worked until they couldn't move to get the floor done and then Kam finished up the trim while mom did the curtains! What a team! Emy held the paint tray for me to do the dots and then she reorganized my pantry! We would have been lost with out them! Thanks again for all your help! we completed the night by having supper with the inlaws and relaxing in the living room looking for baby names! we had a blast laughing and joking about some that we came up with.

Monday wasn't part of my orig week, but it was a very good day! Sadie got a haircut (shorter than we thought it would be!) and my mom, Emy, Rusty, and of course Kam got to go to Hippi's big 20 week ultrasound! It was so fun!!! :)  we chose not to find out the gender even though Kam and my mom think its a boy-or at least they think they saw boy parts! ha! who can tell anything on that crazy ultrasound! oh well we shall wait until march.  Kam and I had an ob appt and she mentioned that she would like us to deliver at 36 weeks, with the possibility of a nicu stay, but we shall see.  all looks good and we topped the day off by stuffing ourselves silly at Carinos and heading home!

Thanks to all for your prayers last week with the 3 yr anniversary and well wishes for the pregnancy with hippi, things are going well, growing and kicking like crazy! :) I have gained 4 lbs so far, not too disappointed with that, and the crazy prego dreams have been nuts! :)  I am starting to get uncomfy sleeping but I am not too worried yet, I know there are wilder nights to come! I remember being up from about 3:45-5:00am with Peanut everynight while he kicked me! :)  ha! At least I was able to catch up on some old Three's Company reruns! :)

Oh well thats all for now...... here is wishing all of your weeks are good and not bad or ugly!
