BOSTON!

This past weekend Sean and I decided to go into Boston for the day. It turned out to be really nice, in the low 60s and sunny. :) It was fun walking around, people watching, and ate LOTS of food!

It was a good weekend. Now back to the busy busy work week. It is a week full of doctor appointments as well. Sean is seeing the chiropractor, the orthopedic doctor, and going to physical therapy this week and I have my monthly prenatal appointment tomorrow. Thank goodness for health insurance!! ha! I am anxious to hear how I am measuring up at my appointment tomorrow, and how much weight I have gained. :) :)

On a side note...the cashier at TJMaxx asked me if I was due any day now....that was pretty crazy. She was shocked when I said not until August. I didnt think I was THAT big yet!

Baby Belly!

Here I am!!! 24 weeks preganant and growing fast. I have a doctor appointment next week and I am anxious to hear what I am measuring and how much Ive gained!
Oh and an update about Sean and his back. They confirmed through the MRI that he has a couple bulging discs in his back and has arthritis. Soo...more waiting. He is going to get a cortisone shot, do some more physical therapy, and is seeing a chiropractor. We are just releieved to finally know what the heck has been wrong all of these months...

Thats all for now! Im off to work :) HAPPY FRIDAY!

Mondays...

Well, Mondays can be quite a drag. And of course rainy Mondays are even more of a challenge. Today my day consisted of getting up bright and early and going with Sean to his doctors appointment. He had another (and hopfully last) MRI done, this time on his back. We wont know what the results are until Wednesday. I sure wish he would feel better...

Then I was off to work for a full day of court and unexpected surprises at every turn. As a Victim Witness Advocate I dont often talk about what my work day consisted of... I guess its kind of depressing at times. But some days are really great and thats what gets you through the depressing days. Today was not one of those great days. But thats okay. It always amazes me when I see those once strong and feirce girls, that at one point put every effort into standing up to their abusers and doing the right thing, come in to me a few weeks later and decide that this abuser has "changed" and they no longer want to "press charges". I usually sit down with them and give my "speech". I dont know if it ever registers with them, but I guess the most important thing I tell them is that no matter what if they decide down the line that they do want to cooperate with the prosecution we will always be here to help in any way we can. I guess sometimes they are just not ready... On the brighter side of my day, 3 repair guys were finally caught that were fugitives we wanted in Maine. They scammed a 90 year old man out of almost $80,000 by charging him an outrageous amount of money for doing numerous odd jobs around his house that were never completed or hardly completed. I hate crimes where people take advantage of the elderly!

It is now about 8:30pm and I just finished dinner. Sean is now working 2nd shift (which is 3pm to 11pm) so he will be home late and its his last day on, so he is off tomorrow and Wednesday, yay! I am going to go read my baby book in bed. I am 24 weeks tomorrow and I love reading up on my week ahead and see how my little girl is growing! She is moving quite a bit now. I have even felt her hiccup and Sean was able to feel her bumping through my tummy one night. She is getting so big!!

Today is the day!

Good Morning!!

Today is the day....I start up my blog again. :) It is a beautiful Sunday morning and I was just sitting here eating my cereal thinking that I wanted to start blogging and keeping family and friends updated on the things happening in our busy, crazy lives.

This past year has brought me through many ups and downs...and to tell you the truth...I am so happy at how far I have come. I would never be where I am today without all of the love and support of my family and friends and of course, Sean.

I have so much to share! But the biggest news is...we are expecting our first baby girl in August! Below is her 12 week unltrasound picture, I am now just about 23 weeks and we could not be happier.

 I have more to share...but that will have to wait. I am itching to get out of my bathrobe and get up and going to enjoy the day. Haha!
