well happy new years ladies, a few days late. I have recovered well from my inner ear infection. Just in time for my husband to wreck his vehicle in fact!!! We have maybe 5 or 6 inches of snow, no big deal, normally we get tons of ice and lose power and such for a bit, but this year we were blessed with only snow so far, so he left for work tuesday and called me 10 min after he left and told me to come up there. Grabbed my boots and a sweatshirt and sure enough he had slid on the packed snow and hit the back end of another vehicle, lost his back passenger window, and totaled his back door as well. Come to find out, the car he hit had already been in an accident that morning in the same place, which is why it was tehre, AND while we were talking and exchanging information the police called and said taht we needed to come back to the scene because another vehicle had come along and hit both the cars!! Can you beleive it!?
glad to hear all the scans are going well!!
West, I work in labor and delivery and every week we've tried to dopple baby, only heard it once, and we've scanned once, just before christmas. Its hard not to play with the equipment. For cute men, my husband received a book rookie dad for christmas, he's reading a chapter a night, he informed me that I needed a bag packed, gave me a list of a few things i'd need, and said he had already mapped out the quickest way to the hospital!!! My step father has subscribed to a pregnancy weekly thing and is receiving it in email, he called the other day to tell me to work hard on those fingernails and make sure I was taking my prenatals!!!
DMN: you've had it pretty rough, are you taking some zinc and vit c?
sunshine: I'm so thrilled for the wonderful heartbeat!!!
Kelly: we have a bassinet as well, my aunt had it for her grandson and never used it. It most likely wont be used here either as we're planning a pack in play (play yard?) for the first bit while nursing.
AFM: Still have times when i don't feel pg, thats normal, i suppose. the ms is starting to stick to just the evenings now, occasional headache, nightly peeing and breast tenderness, pregnancy dreams, is it too early to be feeling the little one? I get this strange sensation every once in a while its like a soft flump? thats the only word I can describe it as....I have gotten all the goodies that I have been putting together for the past couple years washed and organized, that will help ALOT towards the end.
i was so upset and cried for a few hours dont know if he will find another job as there arent many around for him 
too. Later on it's not so enjoyable, but I can't get enough early on. 
Her work schedule doesn't allow her to come to any appts. 
They don't usually shut things down here either, we just take it slow and easy and get there safely. They did close the schools yesterday and today due to weather and it being about -30 F.
