Days and Baby Updates

I haven't had a phone since Monday or the Internet much either and I am surprised at myself with how much I feel like I need them when they aren't available to me. Tuesday was an absolutely horrible day. I don't even want to write about it because it was so sad I don't want to relive the day. Tuesdays are also Brett's longest days when he is gone from 7 to almost 8. Not being able to vent on the phone or the Internet all day to him or anyone was quite frustrating. It might have been a good thing though for others though, especially Brett. He turned out to have a really good and productive day himself. I got my new phone tonight though, but nothing to complain about to anyone on it. hahaha

Today I had my 25 wk apt. Everything looks good and healthy and I am measuring right on track. I got the yucky glucose test drink to check for gestational diabetes that I am supposed to take on Monday. Not looking forward to that. I am feeling a lot of pressure though this time around that I really don't remember feeling until a lot later when I was pregnant with Adalie. I am supposed to go back to "taking it easy" again. Whatever that means right?? haha I did get an official OK though to travel for the holidays coming up soon. We are going to Colorado for Thanksgiving and Texas for Christmas this year and I am getting so, so anxious. I just LOVE the holidays and I miss our families so much. Brett starts off the traveling this next week with his PED interview in Iowa on Monday. Wish him luck. He will be a nervous wreck for the next few weeks until we know something. Hopefully the holidays will give him an excuse not to think about it though.

One Car

Well we are back to being a one car family again! Saturday someone came and bought our Jeep. It was such a good car. I loved the four wheel drive. I felt invincible in the snow LoL Although during the summer it is miserable without the AC and the gas millage is horrible. It would take $60 to fill her up twice, sometimes three times a month when it was the only car we had. Driving one car has its perks though. 1. We save on gas money. 2. We save on insurance. 3. I don't go anywhere during the day where I can spend money frilly nilly without Brett being there to talk some since into me. haha All around, a good money saver for our family I think. Besides, winter is coming up soon and I don't like driving around in the snow very much and I don't think I will want to go anywhere in a couple of months anyways with a newborn baby and Toddler in the house.

So a little shout out to the one car families out there and to our Jeep that was so good to us in the end. Last summer you gave us quite a scare with all the money we had to put in you but at least we got some of it back in the sale. It was given to us by Brett's parents anyways after we got married so even though it was older and had a few kinks, it was free. And no one can argue with a free car. And it was SO NICE not to have a car payment. Brett misses the man power he felt in it...you just can't get the same feeling when driving a mini van around.

Side Note

Having a daughter who likes sweets JUST as much as you do and that did not inherit her fathers dis-taste of pure chocolate is not good. I am a horrible influence haha

Yay For Brett!!

Brett has beard back from all three Podiatry schools and we have interviews set up over the next few weeks. Fun on our pocket book no doubt, but SOOO exciting!! He is a shoe in for all three, I am sure of it. He has wonderful grades, a great text score, and a personality that will win them over in the interviews. The hard part will be deciding where to go. Iowa is our first choice, Az our second, and Ohio our third. At least that's what we think so far lol. He will get more of a feel for the schools when he gets back from the interviews but I think that's the order for now. And whoever wants to give us free money in scholarships might make a difference too. haha

I am so excited to be approaching the next step of our wonderfully hectic life together. It has been a fun four years of school together so far and I am sure we can handle 6 or 7 more. Our goal is done with school and residency at 32. LoL He has got so much work ahead of him but I know how absolutely wonderful he is and he is going to do so great. I am sorry for bragging but he just makes me so proud. Such a good and hard working man. I need to be so much better about not stressing him and making him worry about silly things and complaints that I always seems to have. He is so good to me and such a wonderful daddy who already does so much. Love you again honey...sorry if I embarrassed you with this journal entry to the world. =)

Need Your Help

So I was thinking about making my blog into a book...you know for a journal to have any ideas or sites i can go to to make it happen? Cost? Easiest way to get it done? I would love your help! Thank You!

Halloween Night!!

Yay!! This year for Halloween Adalie was a pirate Princess. I think her favorite part was getting to wear some of mommies eye make-up of which she still has little raccoon eyes this morning from.

LoL We got to go trick or treating!! It wasn't too cold after all so we snuck in a few houses with Adalie who had a BLAST!! She was a little scared of some of the older kids costumes so she would make us carry her every now and then and wait till they left the house before she would go and knock on the door again herself.

Brett started our night off by cooking some wonderful Hungarian stuffed peppers. It turns out I LOVE Anaheim peppers (sp?) I am not normally a big pepper fan so I was just kind of planning on unstuffing mine and eating the meat inside but I decided to give it a try and they are DELICIOUS!!! We had our friends/neighbors over for dinner and they made us some great pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Then they went trick or treating with us. It was a great Halloween night here I am excited to read about yours!! Happy Halloween!!
