meet sandwich and bubbles.
the first purchase we made for our baby bean.
got them at nick's mom's work when we were checking out cribs. dude, those suckers are pricey. just found out my parents are going to purchase baby's. so generous. so unexpected. we are so thankful. will share that stuff soon...
but back to bubbles and sandwich. they caught my eye. and they were on clearance.
our room is not going to have a theme. just bright and fun. or so i'm hoping.
so here they are...
bubbles.
sandwich.
they didn't have any others that were unisex. like the sock monkey one, but that's okay. i figure i'll add to my collection, ahem, baby's collection soon enough. ;o)

better.
been a rough week. well, the first few days for sure. we did nothing over the weekend. i just needed some down time. felt like i had been so overwhelmed and so busy the last few weeks i needed to recouperate.
watched lots of movies:
iron man. awesomeness. didn't expect much. nick bought it on blu-ray. was quite entertaining. and robert downey jr. isn't bad to look at...
the love guru. lame. jt was the best damn part of the movie. he was hilarious. if you're a fan of his, the movie just may be worth watching.
sex and the city. sooo good. i so miss the tv show. makes me want to watch all of the seasons, again! don't want to ruin it for anyone who might want to see it but hasn't... the charlotte part. in mexico. hilarious.
21. pretty good. had a twist on the ending that i wasn't expecting. you know you expect the twist and there is one, but it's just a bit different that what you were anticipating. anywho. decent flick.
told nick i felt guilty because i thought it was nice to not have to worry about guinness. his overexcitement, his growliness. cried over that. he kindly reminded me that we didn't put him to sleep because he bothered us. but because he was a danger. bless him. my rock. really don't know what i would do without him.
the cats are enjoying his abscence. ate through a whole bag of treats one night. woke up to a nice mess of chewed bag pieces through out the house. nibbles even ate through the newly purchased loaf of bread. wrap and all. only took her like 2 minutes. nick went to answer the phone before putting away the groceries. maybe she's trying to get us ready for parenthood?
starting to freak out about this kidlet thing now that i don't have all the other distractions hanging over my/our head{s}.
been feeling better pregnancy wise i think. i know i still owe pictures. must work on that... i apologize. sleeping less. still napping now and then but it's much, much better. the nausea is pretty much gone. sure there are some mornings where i dispise the toothbrush. and had a bad incident with some vitamins the other night. i think it was monday. our normal routine is to eat dinner then chill and watch monday night football. well, i passed out. as usual. and nick stayed up playing some video game. he woke me up to go upstairs around 1am. normally it's 1030. i took the vitamins and hauled my half asleep self to bed. got my teeth brushed, changed, and all that other fun night time stuff. laid in bed and thought i would throw up right there. nick heard me doing the whole swallowing thing and freaked. couldn't figure out what i wasn't moving. um, because i couldn't! i think he actually yelled for me to get out of bed. was quite funny even as i felt so nauseated. he hauled his bootay into the other bathroom to grab the garbage can and i was able to make a mad dash to the toilet. learned my lesson. must have food more recently than 7 hours when taking vitamins. will not let that happen again!
work has been busy but good. a few of the patients now know my secret. they are so cute. don't think i can keep it a secret for much longer. all the eating comments, and the fact that my scrub jacket hardly buttons thanks to the girls and the belly! pictures... soon!
finally were able to share the news with my godparents. called their son in houston to share the news with him too. was a nice night. late. but good. have another date night with them this week.
as for the weekend.
just watched you don't mess with the zohan. better than i thought it would be.
might tackle the carpet this weekend or the garage. or the closets. have lots of options. nick is nesting. it's awesome. he's cleaned two cabinets and went on a kick throughout the house one night. soo funny. he denied it was nesting. but we all know the truth. ;o)

SO hard.
put guinness to sleep today. i NEVER thought, hoped, wished it would come to this. was hoping for a lifelong buddy when we got him last year. a forever family member.
i didn't go. i'm too much of a wimp. nick is there now. i'm in cleaning, cooking mode. anything to keep myself occupied. bless my husband for having the strength. he amazes me.
took him to the k9u yesterday. didn't get the best of news. this guy was the first one that actually confronted him and got him to be growly and mean. it lasted pretty much the whole time. he was worried about guinness hanging out in freak out mode for so long. told us he only really trusted him with us {since while i was crying, mr. guinnea came over to me and put his head on my lap}, but no one else. told us we could more than likely never leave him along with children. that he was just going to get worse the older her got and more than likely one day just snap. that we could try training but more than likely he was just wired wrong. didn't want to get our hopes up, spend tons of money, and just be where we are now.
so after a distraught ride home we came to the super, super hard decision to put him down. nick wanted to do it asap. thought it would be easier. not sit here and second guess ourselves. sooo hard. wish there was another way. we could have found some way to help him. cannot imagine him back at the pound, labeled as mr. aggressive and live in a kennell for who knows how long before they euthanise him.
hope we did the right thing. i mean, i know we did. but you know. it's just sooo sad. sooo hard.
happier baby updates soon. just doesn't seem fair now to try to be happy about other stuff when i'm missing my pup....

a dog-erang?
so guinness left. and now he's back. he hadn't been gone more than an hour-ish, and the guy called. bringing him back. apparently, he went to give guinnea a treat and he growled at him. so much for him being willing to work with him. maybe he didn't take us seriously. who knows.
so now he's here. helluva evening. i cannot handle this stress. we have our feelers out again. gonna take him to canine university in the meantime.... not sure what it'll do, but why not. we've tried everything, why stop now. and maybe we are his only hope, who the heck knows.
on the lemon bean news... have an appointment tomorrow. lots of questions to ask about lamaze, baby classes, and all that fun stuff. and my cleaning lady moved my pee cup! i thought i was going crazy. could NOT find it anywhere. stole something that might be an okay substitute from work... then i found it. man, i was totally blaming pregnancy brain!

a lemon.
that's the size of the baby bean this week. guess it's not a bean anymore, huh? but baby lemon just doesn't have the same ring!
towards the end of this week, i was napping less and feeling more oomph. hoping this keeps up and i feel like a human again... soon.
the appetite is so hit or miss. i'm either starving or nothing on the planet sounds remotely satisfying.
scrapped for the first time in ages. with a major time crunch. and got some stuff done! yay. hoping the return of energy = return of mojo.
made some terrrible recipes in the crock pot this week. won't bother sharing those artocities.
gonna start ripping up carpet soon. the remodel should hopefully be fast approaching. but all this means hemorrhaging money left and right too. the cutie pie hubs has contacted his old employer{cvs} and walgreens about picking up crazy shifts. wants to pay this stuff off now, and not be forced to work when the baby bean is here. makes sense. love that he is taking the initiative to provide for us. sigh, he's so cute. i've also tried to cancel subs to some of this scrap kits. haven't heard a response from either place. bit frustrating. i told them i would finish out however many months, just wanted to know where i stood, blah, blah, blah. nothing. funny, because i'm pretty sure if it was to sign up, i would have heard from them instantly. oh well, if it takes a while, there's always willowtraders for me to sell them on!
have news on the guinness front. sad but exciting. the guy from our training place couldn't find anyone, so we've been letting people know we're trying to give him away. my boss swears she wouldn't let me put him down and would take him, but i don't want to count on her. so we've been asking. were even going to put up signs at the dog training place and petsmart and the humane society.
today nick takes him on a walk and comes home to our lawn people doing their thing, and this young guy is like, 'that's a beautiful dog.' so nick asked if he wanted him. free of course, with all his belongings. the guy probably thought we were crazy. we told him all of his issues and he said he would go home and think it over. he has just moved out and had a two year old lab, but his mom kept the lab and he was really looking for a dog. fast forward a few hours later, it's the guy on the phone saying he'll take him on monday. eek, sooo fast. but maybe it's meant to be. it's not someone taking him because they have to or we'll put him to sleep. nick had a long talk with him, he's such a cute overprotected, worried dad! so like i said, i'm sad to see him go but think this is really a good thing. hoping i don't cry like a blubbering idiot until after he takes him on monday. it's going to be soooo weird without him. less smelling like dog. ;0) but so quiet. and i know that silence with be replaced with all kinds of other sounds in just a few short months... but i'm gonna miss my guinnea pig....

today's craving.
stupid pizza hut and their yummy, yummy breadsticks.
yesterday my coworker shared one with me. it's been all i can think about since. convinced nick to have pizza hut for dinner with me tonight. he was like, 'seriously? pizza hut?' erm, yeah. i'm weird. i cannot explain it but the thought of breadsticks and sauce just made me happy. ;o)
in other news, the tv is fixed. nick changed the setting of the bulb. now it should last 6,000 hours. not 2,000 hours.
and today someone who came to the office asked me if i was getting fatter. he's related to nick's doctor that is pregnant, so i was thinking she told him and he was just being silly. he swears he didn't know. my response was no, haven't i just wanted to be like your family member. he said, 'not you too!' hilarious. i guess this killer hunger that has consumed me the past two days is showing... i gained 4 pounds in the first trimester. hope my check up next week shows i've gained a wee bit more. nothing crazy or i'm gonna be sad!
nick got a new game for wii. wario land: shake it. it's like an old nintendo flashback super mario game. i'm hoping we enjoy it. looks cute so far. also ordered buzz for the ps3. i'm so gonna beat nick at that game. cannot wait. ;o)
