A nice surprise...

Last Tuesday morning, Greg text me at about 4:30am and asked if I was awake. So I called him because it was kind of odd for him to text me at 4:30am. I told him i was kind of awake as I hve been tossing and turning for a little while trying to get back to sleep. So he said "can you open the door for me?" I was quite shocked to hear him say that and I said "you're home?!?!" He laughed and said yes. I was so excited... And at the same time wasn't feeling too well as I still had a headache from over the weekend. I actually had to call in sick that day because of the headache :-(. But it was all good as I got to hang out with Greg too. He was home for a good week and a half. It was so nice to have that. Sucks on our finances, but worth it as that's a rarity. He took me to work the rest of the week which was nice because I can sleep in a little longer and i don't have to pay for parking.

For the rest of the week, we were getting ready for the weekend as we were going up to ice house to go shooting/camping. We left with a few friends of ours on Saturday, I didn't shoot as much, but it was still a nice change. Of course I shot my 5.7 and the AR and I'm good after that. haha. We set up tents when it started to cool down a little more. It was just us and 2 other friends of ours that went camping with us. It was still a lot of fun. The camp fire was all set up and we were.... well... playing with it. We threw a couple soda cans in it and a few glass bottles as well. The soda cans liquefied and the bottles melted... That's how hot the camp fire was. The next morning the guys shot a couple rounds through, had breakfast and then packed up. All in all it was a lot of fun. Would love to do it again, but hopefully near a body of water of some sort! haha

On Sunday eve, Greg and I went to the movies to watch Pirates of the Caribbean for our date night/anniversary/father's day thing. Mr. T was soooo tired that we ALMOST snuck out without him even noticing! We were soooo close! Anywho, the movie was great. We watched it in 3D. We didn't like the after credit's preview for the next movie though. Oh well. Lots of great movies this summer.

Greg actually left Wed. morning. He was on his way down to Fontana as our buddy Kevin was getting ready to take his Class A license the next morning and they were supposed to take off that day but apparently the office didn't set up his driver code. So they chilled in Fontana and watched The Hangover 2. Greg said he wants to wait and watch the Green Lantern with me. So i guess when he's home again, we'll watch that movie and maybe a couple other more as there is quite a few coming out this summer.

Greg will actually be home July 13th because the ultrasound to see the baby will be July 14th adn I really want him to be there! It's going to be exciting for us!!!

Anyways, off for me to do... well.... I'm not quite sure on this beautiful spring like weather Saturday.

2nd Prenatal Exam

So on Thursday, May 19, 2011, I had my 2nd prenatal exam. Health-wise, everything is GREAT!!! I even lost 3 lbs since my last prenatal exam! That's a good thing because most women tend to gain around 5lbs their first trimester. Anywho, I got to hear the baby's heartbeat that day! It was at 160 bpm. It was truly amazing to hear!!!! I asked my Nurse Practitioner (NP) about when we'd be able to find out the sex of the baby. So she told me that after the exam, i'll speak with the clerical and set up future appointments including the ultrasound at 19 weeks. So i have 2 future appointments set up and my ultrasound as well. My next prenatal exam will be June 27th and then on July 14th will be my ultrasound. I'll be going to the Dr.'s about once a month up until i'm 36 weeks pregnant and then weekly or bi weekly until i give birth after that.

I'm am to be due around December 8, 2011. We are still very excited and happy to be going on this journey in life.

For our ultrasound on July 14th, that's when we're supposed to know the sex of the baby. But we decided that we want to tell the ultrasound tech that we want him/her to write it on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. Reason being is because we want to do a "revealing" party. It's not the baby shower, as baby showers tend to be 2 months before the baby's birth. So since it will be in mid July and Mine and Greg's birthday are just a few weeks later, we're going to celebrate our birthdays together the weekend of September 6th and reveal it through a cake. How do we do so, you ask? Well, my mother in law heard this on the Mark and Brian show radio. It's becoming quite popular as well. We're going to give the envelope to the baker of our choice (it's between Ettorie's and Ginger Elizabeth) and tell the baker to have the inside of the cake blue or pink, depending on what the baby's sex is. The frosting will be a neutral color of course and when we cut into our birthday cake, that's when we get to find out the sex of the baby! It's still in the works and I'm probably going to send out invitations in a few weeks. We're still trying to figure out where we want to have the party at.

After the exam, i kept thinking about the baby's heartbeat. For the first hour back to work, i was feeling kind of emotional. But happy as well. I think it was just the excitement of it all! haha

Well, Friday night, Greg surprised me with the help of Adam. Adam asked me if i wanted to go with him to drive down to Salinas, since that's where Greg told me he would be at. And so I said sure. When Adam arrived, Mr. T followed me to the door and he took a look at Adam and looked down the cat walk, looked back at Adam and down the cat walk again. I was wondering why he kept doing that. Then adam said that he brought a gift for me. Shortly after, I heard Greg whistling down stairs. I was so glad to have him home for the weekend! The 3 of us went to Sandra Dee's for dinner that night. Visited Adams dad and his grandparents at his dads for a bit. Then Saturday I went with Greg to go pick up his load out in Salinas. I was so glad I went with him because we were there for hours!!!! He left this morning

So, sorry to ramble like usual, but it's bed time for me. Goodnight all :)
