a weekend away

This past weekend, we had a girls weekend away. No kids no pets. The guys have had a few trips and gone hunting, and we haven't done anything, so we decided it was time. We rented a little house down in Lincoln City, it was near the bay. We had so much fun shopping, laughing, driving around, playing cards and etc. It was also relaxing not to be on a time frame or anything, just come and go as we pleased. While I was a away relaxing, Tony was at home with Aden trying to potty train. Trying. He went about 3 times and then wanted nothing to do with it. So we are taking a break, and then we will go back at it. I don't want him to be afraid of it, so he never wants to do it. But I also heard some boys aren't ready till there 3. I hope that's not the case, I really want him potty trained before we have the baby. I guess we need to be patient and it will happen when it happens. :) And as for me, I'm feeling way better, no more sickness!! :) I am working on gaining back all the weight that I lost. And were excited to have an ultrasound in November/December to have another sneak peak at the baby!! :) And were not finding the sex out. :)

abit of this and that

Tony went hunting, and had a good time, but no deer. :( His brother, Brad was the only one to get one this year. But it was great male bonding. I stayed home with Aden, and of course the day Tony leaves, Aden gets sick! So he's been fighting a cold for almost 2 weeks now. The doctor said keep doing what were doing, so that's cough meds, humidifier and baby's vicks rub. Aden also had his 2 year old check up and everything looks good! He's about 26 lbs!! And I can't remember the height, but he's moved up to the 25% for both!! :) I got my results back from our ultrasound and blood work, for the down syndrome test, and everything looks normal! Baby's growing and healthy, good heartbeat!! I'm so relieved we would keep the baby anyways, but it's so nice to hear the heartbeat and know my seizure meds are okay with pregnancy. I'm feeling great, the morning sickness has gone away, finally!! And now I'm just working on gaining the weight back that I lost. This weekend its a girls weekend, and were going to the beach. Renting a house, and it's no kids or pets!! It will be so nice to relax and get to sleep in past 730. :) And were just gonna go with the flow, no special plans or anything.
Today one year ago, on our way to the airport to leave for Maui, we got the phone call. My grandma had passed away. :( She fought her battle with cancer, and cancer won. :( That was the hardest vacation ever taken. I didn't know this but she wanted to donate her organs to other people. Well the cancer had taken over everything, almost. She was able to donate her eyes to someone else!! So part of her is still with us somewhere in this country! But her memories are always with us. I do miss the silly conversations and her love for shopping on QVC. Aden must have known it was a tough day, he grabbed the remote and turned it right to the qvc channel, so we watched that for a bit. :) It was totally odd that he knew that's what I needed and the channel. But I think someone helped him with that. :) RIP Grandma we love you and miss you!!

a long week....

Tony left Friday morning for hunting, for 9 days!! This is the longest and first time we've gone without daddy. Were doing good so far. Sunday and Monday, my mother in law stayed with us, and watched Aden while i worked. We did go and have a yummy dinner @ sweet tomatoes and came home and watched Dear John. :) And monday we had burger King and watched The Last song! Oh my goodness, I've never cried so much in my life, the movie was soooo good! I definatly recommend it. We visited my sister and the munchkins on Tuesday, and Wednesday we played outside when we came home, from work and after getting the boys. And today, Thursday, ah a lazy day. Did some laundry, went shopping. Can't do laundry with out soap! And had lunch with my parents @ there work, and came home and took a much needed nap!! I love nap time!! :) And tomarrow I'm sure will be a lazy day, and getting the rest of the house cleaned and picked up before daddy comes home on Saturday!! I'm so excited, I want daddy home for a little break!! Anyways that's the news of the week. Oh yeah and I"m 13 weeks and feeling good. The morning sickness is starting to go away, thank goodness. No one should ever have to visit the bathroom as much as I did!!
