Hair and Babes

Well, first off I told you all that I never keep the same hairstyle for long...especially when I am bored...and my hair grows so super fast for taking prenatal vitamins. So, here is the new do. I like it...a lot. Especially because I have naturally curly hair so I can do curly hair really easily with this one.

We had another Doctor apt. today... I LOVE MY DOCTOR!~! He is ..no offense..so much better than the one I was seeing in Utah. It was just a huge difference. The good news is that Little dude is now head down and getting ready to descend- much better than last week when he was breech! I am now at the every week appointment and starting next week will be considered full term. SO- the walking will begin next week!! Dustin and Halle came with me to this appointment just because I figured Dustin should meet the doctor at least once before we get to the hospital. After the appointment we went over to the hospital to check out were we go, and all the facilities. My doctor met us there and gave us the "behind the scenes tour" (another reason why I am so impressed by him) when he didn't have to at all! Halle LOVED seeing all the babies, and her first comment was a very determined "I hold it". "NOW"!!! haha, so I am sure I am going to have quite the helper on my hands.

Other than that things are going great here in Bloomington, I have already receieved numerous phone calls from friends in the area telling me about what is happening when and why I should come. Also letting me know that they missed me this summer... LOVE IT! It always makes me feel so welcome when you realize that you are appreciated somewhere. I also love the friends that I have made here in Bloomington...definitely life long friends here. We have finally finished cleaning and getting Little Dude stuff ready so I figure Halle and I will start play groups next week.

There are two articles that I thought would make everyone feel better, check em out!! They are on my side post that says "goodyblog". Read No Einstein, and the McDonalds one. Thought they were pretty hilarious.

We Made It!!

Yes we made it...no we didn't have a crazy cat on our flight that comes in later on in the story. Well, Halle and I had a crazy night last night- I don't know how these women do it who have a family bed. There is NO WAY I would ever do that!! Halle and I spent the night at a hotel right next to the airport and shared a bed. She is the biggest snuggle buddy ever! All night long I had little limbs and body parts touching me. It didn't matter that I had three pillows piled up high so she could reach me...she slept great...I woke up about every 30 minutes to push her over to her side. We got up and were at the airport by 5:45 to find a line out the door for security. My first thought was what kind of crazy person gets flights this early?? oh yeah..me! The first flight went great, short and quick...the best. The second flight was a little bit longer but Halle took a little nap so we were happy! The only scary part of the flight was when the pilot dropped from 3000 feet in the air to 700 in about 20 seconds...and i thought I was going into labor.The good news...I guess, is that I didn't have him today. Dustin picked us up and we made it safely back to find two angry cats. Yes, for those of you who don't know we have cats. No we didn't leave them all alone in the townhome for the summer- but had a lady in our church take care of them at her house. And one is especially still being cranky! She hisses at the other cat all day. These cats have gone through 8 moves in their short 3 years of life...they have gone through a lot. And they are still alive and living with us. Hopefully the one who is being a snot will chill out and resort back to regular life of sleeping...eating...and letting Halle run things all over her. We will see though!! Bloomington is gorgeous right now, HOT and very very humid but we are excited to be back!!

100 Mile Club!

Yeah for Dustin!! He has achieved the 100 mile club for the year-which is a big accomplishment seeing as he really started running when we got to Utah!! I bet that he will hit 400 by the time the year is done, he has become quite the runner!! I am super proud of him too seeing as I think I have hit the...5 mile club this year?? (sad huh??) But once we get back to Bloomington I will start walking and then once little dude arrives the treadmill and I will become best buds! Once again...YEAH for a wonderful fit runner of a husband!~

And yes his nickname is Big Dizzle...

What a Scare!!

I had my last doctor visit yesterday here in Utah and it started out REALLY scary!! I go in, and for those of you who don't know they usually always start off with listening to the heartbeat then they measure you. Well, the nurse listened...moved it and listened again...then moved it again and listened. She then stopped- looked at my chart... and said I need to go get the doctor I will be right back. I stopped her and asked what was wrong and she said that she was hearing two different heartbeats. Yep, not one...two. Not only did I start breathing really really fast but I started thinking...what am I going to do? The doctor came in and did the normal chit chat... (I am still hypervenilating) then listed to the heartbeat and told me-don't worry there is only one. I don't know what that nurse was talking about! THANKS! So not only did the nurse almost put me into premature labor- but scared me to death!!! The rest of the appointment went great, I got approved for flight on Tuesday to go back to Indy (yeah!!) Yes, you do have to get approved when you are as far along as I am. And I got a Doctor's note to ok me. We are good to go! Hopefully this isn't my last blog in Utah... we will see though!!

Toy Scare

Here we go again. Mattel is recalling one million toys, many of which are Elmo- and Dora the Explorer-branded. There are 83 different products involved in the recall, which is due to lead paint from—you guessed it—China. The good news is that more than two-thirds of the toys were pulled from shelves before anyone bought them, but that still leaves about 300,000 toys out there. Yikes. Find out if you have any of the toys involved in the recall at Mattel's site (and take them away form your kids asap!)

Here is the website to check out:

Kidding me right?

For many of you, you may not get as big of a kick as we did out of receiving a letter for my cousin... in our mailbox... that lived in our apartment 5+ years ago. Weird? Yes... i had to take a pick of it..and don't worry Shannon and Blake we are going to apply for the credit card and buy lots of fun big expensive things with it. (smile!)
