24 weeks, and then some...

Well I made it through all the plane rides and made it safely to Mexico and back, it was soooo beautiful and warm there, I defiantly did not want to leave. It was fun to spend time with the family (even though somedays I would have just liked to keep to myself) But it was amazing, the snorkeling was sooo much fun! I saw so many things out in the ocean I have never seen before, and it was my goal to try and find something new every time I went out and I did! It was so soothing and relaxing to go swimming, I think it put baby to sleep because he would rarely kick while I was swimming, but sometimes I could feel him rolling around in there.

Its amazing to sleep in my own bed again, the beds there were so hard and my hips were killing me! I got some laundry done today and Joel finally set up the tv down in the basement, this week I really need to focus on baby...I feel like i'm soooo behind on everything, I need to register for everything still, we haven't gotten ANYTHING yet...I feel so behind, there are all sorts of ladies on babycenter.com that have had their baby showers planned months ago and nurseries already done...at this rate, I probably won't have a baby shower until after the birth, if I have one at all....

And get paint to start on the baby room, and get the floor and stuff done, once that is finished I think it will be easier to decorate and feel like things will actually fall into place.

Anyway, here are some pictures, I haven't downloaded everything from my camera yet...no time.

Awkward moment of the day...

So, I had a hard enough time telling my friends and family i was pregnant, today i had to be horribly embarrassed and tell a client at work...I'll set the scene: When we 'set' a room, we have to get the weight of the animal and a temperature, ask the owner why they're there that day, yada yada. Well the dog that i was setting was an 80 pound lab mix that wanted nothing more than to run out the front door, and the owner was an 'older' lady probably about my mom's age, who couldn't hold the dog still if her life depended on it, Now i'll admit many animals are timid about getting up on the scale, and i will admit it IS awkward, the scale is a flat silver thing that is shoved up against the wall and i'm sure many animals are confused as to why we want to have them stand next the wall...

So this dog wants NOTHING to do with the scale, and i KNOW i have to get her up there or else Dr. S has a hissy fit if we don't weigh the dogs before she does the exam, literally, she's made me walk back out there and tell the owner we HAVE to get a weight before she'll even look at the animal. So at this point the lady is all "I really don't think i can get her on there" and I very nicely and sweetly tell her that we NEED this weight despite how the dog feels. Now on a normal non-pregnant day, i would have literally hoisted this 80 pound dog up onto the scale and she would have been fine and we would have gotten the weight and it would of been over, but while the owner is struggling with the dog, all i can do is stand there and watch her and try to direct her on how to get the dog up on the scale, to which of course the lady is like, well unless you can get her up there, i can't do anything else...

And so comes the; "I'm sorry, i would love to help you get the dog up on the scale, but i'm pregnant and i can not lift an 80 pound dog" ohhhh, i wanted to die. I mean REALLY??!! I felt soooo stupid! This lady, who i don't even know i have to tell her this piece of my life just because she can't get her own dog up on the scale, i can't get it out of my mind, because of course she looks at me, and is like "Oh...." and is quiet, and weird, and i wanted to hide under a rug...How Embarrassing! Ah, i feel like a dork, what a life.
