There are beautiful picture's, and such greenery.. all we have here right now is snow and ice
We haven't made the effort to go away for the weekend since I was pregnant but have talked about it.
I am not sure who I would trust with Emily for that long. I only have my elderly father & step-mom close by and I know that couldn't handle looking after a toddler.
I downside to having a full-time career where you put in long hours is you don't have many friends outside of work.
Well, I'm a stay at home mom with a good amount of friends, but I still don't have many possible candidates for babysitting. It takes a really good friend to leave her home and come stay here for a few days. How many folks want to do that? My mom used to do it, but she passed away almost 5 years ago. My best friend used to do it, but she works full time and is no longer available for such things. And although I have other friends, I think it takes a friend that is almost like family to go through such trouble. I can't bring myself to ask anyone. I was really nervous about asking my sister to stay here. She is a very young 21 year old (young for her age is what I'm trying to say) and is in the process of leaving her majorly deranged, drug addicted husband, who has been abusive with her. I learned through my kids that he came here twice while we were away. Thankfully, he didn't do anything stupid (or at least damaging to my kids) while he was here. So, I totally understand your predicament.
I am also a SAHM now.. but for years and years I worked for a wonderful company that damanded most of my time ( outside of my family time that is) and to top that off we bought a home alot further up north from where we used to live so I left most of what friends I had.
I have older daughters ( 21,20,18) but goodness.. my two oldest is so busy with school, work and social life.. my second youngest has watched Emily for a few hours while we go out to dinner a couple of times but leaving them for an over night trip is out of the question as she is only 18 !!
I'm going to go get some more today. I hope it's a different cashier...
will put a damper on the day. But I'm not feeling very hopeful for a positive, so I'm trying to remind myself not to get hopes up too high for a positive result. I feel like a do every month at this time in my cycle; I can feel AF knocking on the door. 
I love US... I seriously thought about becoming an US tech... not sure what is required but love looking at babies lol. I modeled for Siemmens years ago and got to see the first detailed ones on pregnant women (to actually see the face details) and thought it was the most amazing thing ever!
