September 10, 2010Baby Journal0
I woke up and went for a nice, long 45 minute walk. Here's the path I took. It was so nice to get up and get some fresh air in the morning. I also called and made my first doctor appointment this morning…July 1st. Next Wednesday is a prenatal class where they answer questions before...

I got through another day. Chuck and I went on a nice walk after dinner. I am going to try to get out and walk when I can. I am a little weary about running. I wouldn't want running to harm anything. So walking (at an upbeat pace) is my compromise. I found out some...

Anxiously waiting for this day to be over since it's the day I am supposed to get/miss my period. I woke up twice last night to go to the bathroom. I learned that the beginning of your pregnancy you go to the bathroom a lot because your kidneys are in overdrive cleaning out your body....

I woke up and immediately checked the test again because I thought maybe I imagined it. Nope. Still pregnant. 🙂 Another best friend came over that day and I told her. She was SO excited. She was the first one in our group to get pregnant. And she was glad I had now joined her!...

Took the other expired test…just to check, of course. Pregnant! So I emailed my best friend (AKA my on-call nurse since she's on number 3 herself). She was sure I was pregnant and told me to go out THAT MINUTE and get another test. I managed to wait until 10 at night when we went...

I took a pregnancy test today that I had on hand. It expired in March, but instead of just throwing it away, I thought I would take one and see what it said. Pregnant! But I was hesitant to get excited about it since it was expired. From what I read online, though, expired ones...

As most of you (my 3 readers) know, Chuck and I are expecting our first baby in February. We couldn't be more excited! It's going to be a huge change to our lives…one we are so thankful for! Here is an ultrasound picture from 12 weeks 2 days. I love how much it looks like...

This was another Let's Dish meal. It was surprisingly good. I don't know why I thought I wouldn't like it! Chicken, Ham, yum. It wasn't very hard to make. I thawed out this meal in the fridge. Then you take the chicken and put it into a greased pan. Then you top it with pieces...

I was really excited about this book. It was written by someone I went to high school with and I thought it was so cool to know the author of a book. The one word I can use for this would be dense. Dense being that each sentence was packed full of unnecessary words. It...

I know I haven't been around. I've even been scolded by a few friends about my absence. A lot has been going on. I am in the process of writing about it all. So hold on a little longer…I'm still here. And I will be back in full force in no time!

Eh. That is my initial reaction to this book. I borrowed it from a friend who liked it. So I was sure I would like it, too. It wasn't that I didn't like the book, I just couldn't get into it. It was about a Moroccan family who was held prisoner for 20 years after...

Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the 💯th day of school. This is a big deal in kindergarten and also a big deal in general. We have done 100 days of DL at our new school. These teachers have been amazing and our kids have done an great job. We are so proud of them. Not everyday is easy, not everyday is fun, but an end is in sight.

We decided we are sending them back to school in April for the 4th quarter. Although I’ll probably cry to say goodbye to these teachers, I’m so excited for my kids to be IN their new school and make some new friends and feel like part of the Hilltop family.😁

The kids ran around and played, ate snacks, had cupcakes and brownies, played in the snow on the lake, wrestled Chuck and threw balloons at the fan! 🎈🥳

This was a really quick book that I listened to re This was a really quick book that I listened to recently. It had been on my list for a while. I found this book to be comical right from the beginning because these three little black girls are being shipped across the country to live with a mother who left them. I realize this book took place in 1968 and things were very different then, but it just felt too unrealistic. Their mother is part of the Black Panthers and really doesn’t want anything to do with her girls. The girls spend the summer hanging out with Black Panther members and basically caring for themselves. By the end of their trip, they realize they did need this trip and it was a good experience. 

The book ended somewhat abruptly and that is possibly because there are more books in the series. I think it was interesting to read about how different life was in the late 60s and I am impressed their trip went as well as it did. Then again, it’s just a book, so really, you can make anything happen in a book that you want. It doesn’t have to be believable. I would agree with the title, these girls had a very crazy summer.

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
