The latest and greatest

I do have pictures on the camera, but I can't find the cord to connect them to the computer at the moment. So what's been going on? Well, Grandma and Grandpa flew in from LA over valentines weekend. We had a great visit. Grandma and I got to do some baby shopping. I'm not sure, but I just don't remember getting ready for Maya or Brennan like I am now. I look at baby clothes and I get so excited and you can't beat the clearance winter gear. This by far is the most enjoyable pregancy. Maya is always asking me how "the bud" is doing and always kissing my stomach. Brennan looks at his toys and says that he wants to give them to the baby. Sometimes I think, oh gosh, back to the diapers, feedings, carseats, 3 in a grocery store....etc, but really we are All excited for the addition and the fun it's gonna bring. My body is doing pretty good so far with this pregnancy. He's a kicker, but gentle this far. Winter has been great covering up this pregnancy. I've barely needed any maternity wear so far. I have one pair of prego jeans which come in handy for those easy access sudden bathroom moments, but I have 2 normal pairs of jeans that button so low that they seem to still work. I will be 24 weeks on thursday. How time is flying, when you start thinking 2 week appointments are around the corner.
Oh yeah, back to grandma and grandpa. We travelled down to St. Louis and went to the science center one day. It was fun to get out of the Ptown area and the kids really enjoyed themselves. They had "Sue" the T-Rex from the field museum displayed. This was the kids first look at a dino. It was pretty cool. Hopefully we'll get some pictures soon.
This weekend Maya and I are heading to Iowa for my cousin's baby shower. I'm excited to see all the new things that are out there. Speaking of, beware of a baby shower in the making. My mom and sister are throwing me one since they've never had a chance to do that for me before. Frankly, I've never gotten to go to a store and scan items before either, so that is exciting for me. There's so much out there that wasn't there 5 years ago. It's crazy. I've already received a Bumbo! Yeah. I really think those things are so neat and babies look so cute. Anybody know of any other must haves? Does anyone know of anyone who wants to get rid of a white changing table?
On the workfront, Adam's company took another fall last week losing some more business. I actually didn't think he would make it through after that, but thankfully he did with a paycut. A job with a paycut still equals a paycheck in my book, so hopefully we can continue to get through these depressed times. I know we aren't the only ones in the position. I try not to worry, but sometimes my emotions about everything in general get the best of me. I on the other hand have been working my ass off. I have never felt part-time at the hospital and am having a really hard time balancing everything. Besides wednesday nights, I don't think I watch any TV even. A mom is a hard job, a working mom is even harder. But, I absolutely love my job. I love the patients I meet and actually give me self-gratification. My kids do too, but it's different in the health field. I don't know.
So as Lent begins tomorrow, I will try my best to keep this site up a bit more. I have told myself that there will be no facebook (except sundays). I waste so much time on that site whether it's playing games or just keeping up with others. I think my kids would rather I sat down and played a game with them.
Alright, all rambling must come to an end.

Great post, thanks for the update. I'm excited that your mom and sister are throwing you a baby shower. Let me know when it will be so that I can get it on the calendar. We have a lot of stuff coming up in the near future and I really hope that I'll be able to come to your shower.
Glad to hear that Adam still has a job. We will find out on Friday if Tim still does. I don't know that I can go through this again. It would mean he has lost 4 jobs (I believe) in less than 4 years. I can only pray that things will work out.
Anyhow, you've reminded me that I have to come up with something to give up for Lent. I'll check Facebook on Sundays for your updates. Take care.

No facebook? Guess I'm going to have to start calling you again so we can chat! Keep me posted on the baby shower plans. I'm always looking for a reason to go back to P-town for a visit!
