Are you there Bloggers? It's me, Amy...

I hate this week. It's too hectic in home life but super boring at work. Yesterday I left work around 1:00 and we headed to a private travel clinic on Carling for our Hep A boosters. Mine bled alot--I think he got it in a bad spot of my arm, but Ty's went really smoothly. $120 later we were sent on our way (at least I can claim it through insurance :) ). Stopped in for a bite at Wendy's and went and ran some errands Ty needed--picking up parts for the garage to fix/beef up his truck, etc. He found out about this one thing he could do to his truck from Embrun Ford that would make it so he can get 1200 km/ tank of gas (diesel obviously)...so he definitely bought that. He dropped me off at my car and I followed him to Embrun Ford and waited for him to tell the mechanic about the problems and we left her there for a night (maybe 2 since it's a lot of hours labour). He's dropping a good chunk of change there but at least everything is getting done and the truck will be ...

Finally, a weekend that didn't fly by so fast I hardly knew it happened! I had a nice long-feeling weekend! Friday after work, I bussed to my car at Blair and headed right on over to our friend's Rod and Sharon's house for dinner. She was trying a new greek Moussaka recipe and invited us over for dinner. I met Ty over there--he brought some wine and Marsala (I think that's how it's spelled)--a traditional Greek appertif and some cigars. We went with the intention of having a nice catch-up session but had alterior motive as well :) We wanted to ask them to be our little man's God parents--so after dinner and some visiting we popped the question. After some tears from Sharon and hugs all around they said yes--though Rod says he had a dream about it just the night before and had a feeling we were going to ask them LOL..so odd! We figured, who better to ask then our best friends in Ottawa, and our travel buddies! There was no doubt in our minds that we should ask t...

O.M.G. Could I be more happy Friday is finally here? Probably not. What a LONG week...probably because it's my first full week at work in what feels like forever--between that cold I had and all my doctor's appointments and whatnot it seems like I've been away or having half days so much! Plus the week was so long being back and forth between 9-5 and 8-4...really messes with your schedule that one little hour! Last night I got home and Ty had been home most of the day--he got the grass cut, started some laundry, did the dishes, and cleaned out the fridge. I appreciate when I get help like that SO much it's not even funny. I took out some porkchops and thawed them out--we had a pork chop/scalloped potato casserole and watched some breaking bad. I took a shower--I'm in the habit of doing this before bed, since I find it helps calm me down and settle my muscles--and we crawled into bed, checked our emails, watched another episode and went to sleep by 10! Ty had a good...

It's 8:17am and I've peed 4 times already..I may as well just move my desk into the bathroom today, liquid is going right through me lol Last night after work I went to the maternity store because I need a new winter coat since my other one obviously won't button up anymore. So I went with that intention but saw a few other things I liked too (how come nothing I like is ever the stuff on sale?..maternity clothes are expensive..I'm used to like 40 bucks on a sweater--yah...well...double that..in fact, double the price of everything). Then I went over to Payless since I needed a black pair of fall boots since I ruined my pair last year and I have already replaced my brown ones from Old Navy :) They'll come in handy anyways on Saturday for the pictures. Don't want photo memories captured of me in beat up old stained boots lol. (Weather network is calling for a bit of rain but hopefully it holds off until the afternoon) I then proceeded to drive home after making ...

Happy Hump Day! Last night we spent the evening relaxing (like usual) watching more Breaking Bad in the basement--we are REALLY into this show now--it just started getting really good (we were so bored up until this point)..Season 2 episode 13 is the turning point LOL...It's great now :) Then we went upstairs and watched some of Apollo 13 and passed out almost immediately after turning it on (probably about 8:45pm). Slept right on through until 6:45 when my alarm went off! lol I am never moving the room around again! We both agree we sleep SO much better like this--so weird how a small change can make such a big difference--and being as far along as I am, I appreciate the great nights sleeps since it's supposed to be hard right about now to get any rest! I am working 9-5 today which I am only happy about for the extra hour of sleep in the morning--and that I have my car after work...but getting home late is NO fun. Late and having to cook dinner and clean= being in bed LATE. ...

It's going to be a long haul of a day!! What a night! Ty and I were both so pooped yesterday (he even went home early feeling dizzy) neither of us felt like cooking a nice supper so we just fed ourselves--I had some toast and fruit and he had hot dogs lol...we laid in bed all night watching Breaking Bad and watching videos on Youtube on our ipads. I took a shower before bed because the Braxton Hicks I was having all day were really starting to bother me. I drank lots of water and they started to go away. Just as they were quitting a bit, the little man decided to practise his soccer skills. Flipping all over and kicking like a superstar. I had Tyler feel because it's the strongest they've ever been and he freaked out on the first kick he felt--it moved his hand LOL..I know they're going to get much stronger but for now that was the worst I've felt lol..strong lil' guy! So--those strong kicks didn't let up until about 2:30 this morning..then I got to sleep. ...

Feeling very relaxed today--looks like it will be a nice day out and I am anxious to get this week started and done so we can head to Cornwall for our pictures :) Last night after I wrote, I remembered a new episode of The Walking Dead was on! SO good! I didn't think they'd be able to keep up the momentum from the premiere episode, but they did. Love it :) It was SO hard waking up this morning because it seemed darker than usual and after switching the room around we have been having really good sleeps--the energy must be more balanced or something LOL. Needless to say, I did NOT want to get up! Plus the cats were all cuddled up close and it was so warm :( Now I want to go back to bed even! lol...I got to the park and ride and saw gas is $1.13!! I don't need gas right now but later in the week I hope it's still this cheap!:) The bus ride was good and Timmie's was really fast this morning...though I wish the orange juice bottles were twice the size--I am wanting en...

What a good weekend :) Friday night we headed out to a Legiion downtown for a surprise 50th birthday. It was nice to see people and catch up! Though the "how are you feeling " question is really getting old lol. We got home around 1:45am by the time all was torn down, loaded into the vehicles and the drive home. We stayed up for a tiny bit longer having a snack and then went to bed! Saturday we woke up early and hung ou in the basement watching some tv and decided to get dressed and go out to breakfast. After breakfast we ran out to giant tiger and Rona for some things we needed for the house and whatnot and came home. We were going to clean but we decided to watch a movie (due date) and then I came up and switched our bedroom around lol (i get very bored of the same layouts all the time). Then I made a hot chocolate in the Keurig and hopped into the bath:) after the bath I changed the bed sheets and hopped in!! Ty came up shortly after and we were sleeping fairly early. ...

I really do wish my voice would go back to normal. I'm not even sick anymore but my voice is still pretty raspy. I miss talking without it being a strain :( Last night Ty and I walked in at just about the same time (like 6:00). We were both pretty tired but he did the dishes from last night and I cooked up some supper. I caught up on my missed episode of Jerseylicious while I ate and then came upstairs to put away the leftovers and pack my lunch. Took a nice hot shower to relax and put on my pj's and went and looked at my flyers in bed until Ty came up. We only watched one episode of Breaking Bad and then put on Beyond Scared Straight until 11 and fell asleep right away! The 5:30 alarm this morning came very early--I was definitely getting used to the 6:45 alarm for the 9-5 hours LOL. Oh well..that just means my weekend starts a whole hour earlier:) Tonight, when I get home I have to get ready and make somethign quick for us to eat because we are off to a legion for one of Ty...

I just read Stacy's blog and decided to copy her too :) Amy, Currently... Current Book: I am currently trying to get into the Lost Symbol by Dan Brown (and struggling). I need a good day of solid reading to get into this book I think because one or two chapters before bed is not enough to get into it since it's a pretty deep book... Current Playlist: I am really into just tuning into the country station when I'm in the car because it soothes the baby. Don't really turn on my ipod or itunes on my ipad anymore unless I'm trying to drown people out on the bus or sounds at home. Current Colors: Loving dark grey, plums, brown, light pink right now.. Current Food/Drink: I could drink milk all day and all night right now. I can't seem to get enough!! mmm...Food--I would say anything salty--crackers, chips, certain soups..which for those who know me know that's my total opposite--I usually can't get enough sweets! lol Current Favorite Show: Breaking Bad,...

Day 2 of working 9-5 and I will admit I don't mind it nearly as much as I thought I would--but shhh :) lol I went to bed last night around 8:30 I was so exhausted..this cold has really just drained everything out of me. I slept right through until 6:30 this morning--I must have really needed that sleep! 10 hours of solid sleep finally!!! No waking up in the night from coughing or sore throats or stuffed noses...I still had all those things when I woke up, it just didn't keep me up lol--Tyler had a rough time sleeping though--he was up and around a few times in the night trying to get comfy and failed miserably--poor guy, had an awful sleep! Oh well :) As the day goes on I feel a bit better--and I've been eating nothing but soup for lunches and juice or water all day so here's hoping that's helping! I think I may stay home tomorrow--I switched a day with Ashlee since I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon, so I would only be calling in for half the day. Plus, it...

What an incredibly rough weekend/morning! I have never had a cold completely incapacitate me like this--and what's worse is Tyler also has it so we had to try and take care of each other and keep the house aired out (but not cold) and clean like mad after ourselves to try and keep the germs at bay. Friday I stayed home from work as I wasn't able to sleep much the night before since my head was so stuffy--and that was what I thought would be the worst of it! (LOL). I did a blog on Friday so you all know how well that day went for me haha..Saturday we woke up and it was even worse! My throat was so swollen I could hardly swallow, my ears and nose were plugged and my eyes were just throbbing from the fullness--it was so clogged up I wasn't even able to blow my nose, so I was a loud mouth breather ALL day. We were supposed to go to Ty's cousins surprise b-day party but we tried to get in some sleep and staying out and up late would not have helped either of us--or the peop...

What a day! Friday , yay! But it wasn't the anticipated Friday I was looking forward too. I woke up this morning around 2am (after having gone to bed around 10) and couldn't get back to sleep. My head was SO congested I thought my eyeballs may explode. Arou d 3:30 when I realized it wasn't going to get much better, I called in sick to work for the day and tried to get some more sleep. I got another hour or so, which was good! When I woke up, I decided to check my Facebook...low and behold, no Internet accessibility. I had called a few days ago to upgrade my plan since I was paying so much for so little it seemed..the changes were to take place this morning since it's the beginning of my billing cycle. Anyways, the non-English fella that helped me totally screwed up my plan..and added me to online billing which I did not ask for, in fact, I had specified that I wanted to stay on paper billing lol...anyway, I call Rogers at around 7:30 very mad..the non English woman tel...

Oh boy--I keep thinking it's Friday. I am wishing this week away! I am excited for next week because even though it's my turn to work 9-5 next week (except for weds), I am excited because I am going to see Dr. Grainger for the last time for my 26 week appointment and to get my referral papers to Dr. McCarthy. I am more excited to just get that ball rolling then I thought I would be, but I really just want to get in there, get comfortable with him and to see the hospital and for him to tell me what to expect, and so on and so forth :) lol. I like to be prepared and with 15 weeks to go now, I feel ready to absorb all this information now before I get too caught up in everything else! Yesterday my Cornwall baby shower invites were shipped out to me (I ordered them in the morning and they were shipped by 4pm--this place came highly recommended to me by a lady at work that's really into that stuff. It was a bit expensive for what I ordered but they are SO cute and I'm exci...

Happy Hump Day!! Yesterday went by so fast! Let's keep up this momentum :) Last night, my bus was SO early picking us up--I got a bit upset sitting at Hurdman for 10 minutes since we were so early, but got over it pretty fast when we made it to the park and ride more than 10 minutes earlier than normal. I think I will like this new driver :) She's a maniac lol When I got home, Ty was already there and we were both exhausted--fighting off this cold is hard work! lol So we just ordered in dinner and ate it sitting in bed and watched Ghostbusters on Netflix! Then we were a little more awake after so we decided to start a new series--we chose Breaking Bad...the word "Meh" perfectly describes the first episode..we didn't even get tempted to put on a second..so I guess we'll see how the next few go--this show was highly recommended to us and I am very impartial to it so far--usually I'm hooked right away if it's any good...the premise is a highschool Chem...

Back to the grind! That long weekend went WAY too fast (and that's an understatement!). Friday, I drove home from work and relaxed for a while on the couch after a crazy long day (long week, actually lol). Ate some dinner and finally made my way upstairs to make more pie crust and make my pumpkin pie! Went to bed at like midnight, which is crazy since we had to be up early to get to Cornwall. But, with the rain in the morning on Saturday, we lounged around a bit longer than expected. We headed out of town around 9:30 and had to stop in at my aunt and uncles for Tyler to finish up my uncles new garage floor. We headed to my parents house and the boys immediately left for golf. Mom finished off getting all the trimmings ready and the boys finally managed to get home around 5:20 with the baby furniture in the back of the truck (thankfully they managed to get it before too late that day). The rest of my family (my two aunts and uncles, my cousin and her husband and two kids) arrived...

OMG I am SO excited it's finally Friday! And on the eve of a long weekend! woo! Last night I got home around 4:30 and called Tyler--the kitchen was in a state of disarray with clean dishes to be put away, I needed to clean the stovetop, scrub down the counter and wipe down the cupboard doors (ok, so I exaggerated when I said dissaray..but it needed to just be cleaned in general lol). So instead of adding to it and making a bigger mess, we decided to get Chinese--so I called ahead to order it while Tyler was on his way into town to just pick it up (since they don't deliver). By the time he got home with the food, the kitchen was all cleaned up so we made up our plates and went downstairs and watched tv for a half hour or so (M*A*S*H!!! lol). When that was done, Ty went off to do some paperwork on his accounting software, and I went upstairs and did up my first batch of pie crusts. I was going to make only pumpkin pies, which would have meant that's all the crust I would h...

It was a rough start to the morning. I have been driving in this week and was planning on taking the bus this morning but I just couldn't bring myself to wake up, so I said why not, I'll just drive in for the rest of this week and get back to the bus next week. So I set my alarm a little later to get some more shut eye. I woke up even later than I thought, so rushed to get ready in the dark since Tyler kept hitting snooze on his alarm too, threw my lunch together and ran out the door to pick up Doll on the way in. The commute didn't take too much longer than usual, which is surprising considering there was a crazy heavy amount of traffic compared to normal. I guess everyone has the same idea this week :) I get to the parking lot I park in, and the attendant usually just tells me to leave my car where it is and that he'll park it, but he decided today that I can park it myself--which is normally fine because I just do the best I can and I leave my keys with him to fi...

Another day of getting to work super early! I left a bit earlier than usual to stop for gas this morning and I got to work almost 40 mins early--I didn't take into account that I would likely beat the big rush on the highway resulting in me being here way early. I was in early yesterday too and had to work through my lunch since it was just too busy to stop--I was going to leave at least on time yesterday but a bunch of things came in last minute so I left 20 minutes late too! Too.much.work. So I am leaving early today, I am determined!! Apparently the nursery furniture has arrived in the store to be picked up--it's in cornwall so that's a bit of an issue since I don't know when we'll be picking it up with this weekend being Thanksgiving. But at least I won't have to look at an empty room with just a rug in it for much longer! :) And once the crib is in there, it will feel like there's an actual baby coming! :) Everything is becoming more real! Last nigh...

I'm surprised I remember the date right now...something is happening to my brain lol...the smallest little tasks or things I need to remember are escaping me. It's to the point now where I am going to need to write down a million post its to remind myself of everything. Yesterday was the worst that's happened yet--pregnancy brain is taking over my life! lol I drove in yesterday--and I have always been super excited to have my car here. A few hours passed and I guess it just totally slipped my mind! I left work a bit early hoping to catch the early bus (which I would have missed anyways because for some reason I thought I had to leave at 3:36--which is I THINK what time it's supposed to come at--so I had missed it anyways lol). So I was sitting on the bench, looking through my purse to take an inventory and make sure I had everything. Well, of course, I couldn't find my car keys. I started freaking out and rapidly looking through my purse--then it came to me--"...

Monday again! How does this day always seem to come so quickly?? lol Thursday after work, I headed into Orleans and met up with Amber for a kind of last minute birthday dinner--and we both had some stuff we wanted to chat about, so it doubled up as a venting session lol. Tyler had headed out to the fishing derby in the afternoon so I had nowhere to be :) We stayed out for a few hours--ate at Moxies (which was tasty, like always) and I headed home for a little before 9. I put on the movie "Definitely, Maybe" on Netflix and fell asleep to that. Friday afternoon, I headed out to Cornwall to beat rush hour traffic. So for the entire weekend I just hung out and lounged around with my family :) We visited, had meals together, went out to look at baby stuff (got a bit of Sens gear for the baby for next hockey season and more books and shoes) and watched a movie with my sister :) Sunday morning we got up and went to brunch together and I headed back to Ottawa shortly after since T...
