That was probabally a scarey title given my current condition but no worries, mate, a water main line has broken in Montgomery County causing them to shut down all of their resterants now had I been still working at GVA this would be cause to call in sick but I am happy to report that we are fine up this way. I know a big sigh of relief.
Today has been mass hysteria! I am so exausted from doing all the work I was doing today and my brain is ready for some rest. Stan and I are going to drive together tonight to conserve on gas since $4 a gallon is not cutting it in our budget. We are planning on having a nice dinner at BDs (my favorite resterant) and then we are going to go home and create our Baby Poll. I am pretty excited about doing something tonight since we have been lazy bums for the last couple of weeks (I think we have gotten so tired out by the weekends that our weeks consist only of work and sleep...ok and Medium of course).
I have been going baby crazy the past couple of days so I was really glad I was too busy today to do any kind of fooling around on the internet. I am starting to get all excited for July16th and the big ultrasound. Its funny I was the one who was totally against finding out the gender but I think now that I know it is right around the corner I can't wait!! I think the poll will be fun. I am really excited to put in my vote and see how well Momma knows her baby.

A Girl Can Dream...Can't She?
I am feeling beyond tired right now. This is crazy! I feel like I am just going to drop but fortuntly I have about 30 minute left and I can make my way home, where my bed and my bubbles shug are! Today has been pretty uneventful. I am waiting on some additional materials before I can do the next stage of my job so I am a little trapped in the "occupy myself for a little while" stage. Please don't take that as complaining I am pretty happy that I am having a low key day since I know this week is about to get all kinds of crazy.
I am so excited that next month we will get another ultrasound and see what the baby has been up to in there. Plus next month is the big gender ultrasound which I have grown to be obsessed with. As much as I wanted to find out originally in the delivery room and I am so happy we are doing it this way. I don't think I could stand only yellows and greens plus I hate to say this but all the stores have either boys or girls with almost no selection for gender neutral. I just recently have gotten obsessed with baby clothes and although I haven't gotten anything at this point I do know of some really cool websites where I can go when the time comes. I am just thinking I will get a little bit of stuff next month once we make the big announcement.
I am hedging bets that the baby will be a boy. I just get the feeling that the baby is a boy I can't help but think that. I think that is why I have become so interested in what the sono says then I will know how "in tune" I am...well I have a 50/50 chance but we'll say if I am right that I am in tune! I just keep thinking of the baby as a boy and imagining that the baby will be a boy so I am thinking that there must be something to that.
I have mixed feelings one minute I can't wait for the baby to be here and the next I am thanking God that I get to go home and take a nap or a quiet bath. Such is the way of life I guess always thinking you want what you don't have yet. I just think Stan will be a great father and I can't wait to see that in action (of course I guarentee when it's all happening it will be really surreal).

What the blazes?
This weekend was miserable hot so of course I avoided the outdoors like the plague. (I love that expression "avoid it like the plague"). Audre came over on Saturday and we went to see the new "Sex and the City" movie which not only lived up to it's title but was totally cool so it lived up to its gross sales so far too. After the movie we went to Pub Dog pizza and dined on some super yummy puppy creations. It was crazy because apparently that was where my brother in law, sister in law, Pete, and Stan went to eat so we ended up running into each other. After that Audre had to get back to Frederick because there was a storm a brewin' and Pete came over to play Phase 10 with us. I hadn't played Phase 10 since my Grandmother died so it was nice to sit and remember her while I was playing.
Sunday Stan and I just played lazy and laid under as many fans as possible while we blasted the air conditioner. I can't take all this heat so I didn't. We went out with Stan's momma and daddy to Houlihan's and I was so super excited because Stan's mom brought this cute little robe that he used to wear when he was a little one. I was glad to have something that he used to wear for our baby. I love the sense of tradition. Stan's mom said he used to wear the robe on the beach so we will have to save it for next year's Ocean City trip!
Today I came into work and I finally realized why all of the SRO's have their own private air conditioners. Our building has no all over air so I have been suffering in this oven all day. Thank God for Sonya's fan because I would have died if it weren't here. I ate too much for lunch today so now I am all uncomfortable and feeling even more tired than usual. Oh well I am going home soon so I have no worries. When I get home rest assured I am getting rid of all of my clothes and sitting in a cold bath! I have tried to keep myself well hydrated and that has helped but I think I have to be careful not to eat too much in weather like this it just does not settle well.
I am all excited because I am pretty sure that I am offically in my second trimester! I can't wait until I am getting my gender ultrasound and I can start looking at clothes. While I was at Target the other day I looked at some baby clothes and I have to say I really will be happy with either gender. Boys are great and so are girls so I have no preference one way or the other at this point. I am just happy to be having a baby.
Something kind of cool we went out to dinner with Stan's family on Friday night and his mom suggested the name Gabriel since we are expecting around Christmas and then today my mom said the same name. I don't know what Stan thinks about it though. I never realized how hard picking out a name would be. It makes such a huge difference because it has to be something that both of you are going to like for the next "x" amount of years. It will always be on your mind since you will be thinking about your baby non-stop. I just don't know how you know which name is right for your baby. Maybe I will know when I see him or her.

Stuck in the Middle
It's Wednesday which means that I am halfway to the weekend! Yesterday was filled with all sorts of craziness so I ended up staying at work until like 7 o'clock. Then I went home and made dinner for Stan and I. He and I watched a couple episodes of Medium and then went to bed. I was glad because I was exausted after one of my Scientists had me so busy arguing with a hotel over a contract.
Today has been a lot easier. Everyone has been pretty much low key due to a huge storm that shut off our power (just for a little while). Nothing is really new at this point I have just been working really hard and looking forward to the weekend so I can get more work done on our house. Stan and I have been working a little during the week but it is hard to committ to that after being at work forever. I usually just want to go home, have some dinner, and just sack out with Stan for a while.
In terms of baby stuff I have been looking at different daycares in Columbia to price them and see what is going to be the best place for us. I am afraid it will be too expensive but I am going to look into it first and then decide what the best road is. I found this one place that had a really cute website that was all about fostering a child's imagination. I found three nice places and I want Stan and I to visit each of them and see what they look like.
Also I have been looking around at different baby products- you know doing some research on different things. We have been looking at all sorts of things and I have to say it's been great.
