Baby gift
D and I got our first baby gift yesterday from his mom. She had me tell D that she'd just found it in the mailbox, but he wasn't fooled.
It's so adorable. She kept telling me yesterday how excited she is that there's gonna be a baby around again. :-)

Whoa nelly!
So, I'm not sure if anyone reads this blog besides my dad and possibly sister who already know, but just in case you do and we're not also facebook friends...I'm gonna be a mommy!
I found out for sure April 29th that, yes, I am indeed cooking a bun in more than just a bread maker. The due date is November 10th and I've got my first prenatal appointment next week Tuesday (the 11th).
Obviously we don't know what gender it is, but we're gonna find out as soon as possible. I like surprises, but not necessarily ones that I have to wait six more months for. Besides, it'll make the clothes buying and name picking a lot easier.
There's still a great big "WOW" factor bouncing around in my brain. Sometimes I just take a pause and think, "Holy crap, I'm gonna be a mom!" But then there's the part that's all, "OMG!!! Sqeeeeee! I'm gonna be a mommy!!!!!"
So, other than that, it's life as normal. Been calling Subway off and on to check on whether they've gotten an opening. Nothing there yet, but I'm the first on their 'to call' list. The manager there also mentioned another Subway near his place that might still be hiring after a massive lay-off so I'm gonna check them out and hopefully something will come of that. Also gonna re-apply at Lowe's...again (for the 5th time). Coming up on being able to re-apply at Walmart, Walgreens, Kroger, Food City, and CVS. *crossing fingers*
D's work has picked up a little, but still not near what it used to be before Obama succeeded in fully flushing our economy down the crapper. He's done a little side work with his friend Tim who is probably going to be taking over contracts for KUB so that might turn into more of a full time thing for him.
That's about it for now. Obviously there will be regular updates on the pregnancy since there's only so much that can be put in a quick facebook update.
Ciao

Mini garden
Our mini garden is starting to grow!! On the 11th, D and I planted Anaheim Peppers, Cayenne Peppers, Bell Peppers, Dill, Cilantro, Oregano, Parsley, Basil, and Chives. We put 'em in pots up on the deck so as to keep most of the animals away. We also got two tomato plants that went in big pots a few days before the herbs and stuff.
Anyway, a few days ago we noticed the basil seedling sprouting up and then a couple days after we noticed the dill was sprouting up. Yay!! The others should start in the next week or so, but it'll probably be at least another month or more before we start seeing the pepper plants.
In other news, I have a job interview at Subway this Friday morning. I'm hoping it'll work out positively. The guy I talked to mentioned he was really short handed, needing to let some people go, and that he was impressed by my application so... *fingers crossed* Plus, I LOVE Subway sandwiches!
Oh, D and I also are talking about the possibility of going camping this weekend. We really want to, but it'll also be the first time without the puppy, which will be really hard. Interestingly enough, I had a sad/happy dream about her last night. Before going to bed, I had an instant thought of saying goodnight to her and then remembered that she wasn't here so that probably contributed.
The dream was odd. D and I were doing something outside and D's dad and some of his friends were doing their own thing (can't remember what). Out of nowhere the puppy comes around the building and, even though we could pet her and touch her, it's like D and I knew it was her ghost or something and she wasn't really there. I don't think D's dad could see her. Pup started barking at some of the other people that were around and D automatically asked me to put her on her lead...but I couldn't because she was a ghost. So, the sad part was that she wasn't really real, but the good part was that she did seem really happy and we both got to pet and hug on her.
Anywho...it'll be hard going camping without her, but a part of me is still looking forward to going.
And that's the end of this somewhat long-winded post.

Various things
I woke up at 3am Tuesday morning and could barely get out of the bed my back was hurting so bad. I got my ice pack and sat in my chair for a bit, but started hurting worse so I layed back down in the bed. It helped for a bit, but by 7am I was hurting just as bad again. The pain was mainly in my lower back, but it hurt so much that it felt like it was in my left side, too so I was worried it might be kidney stones. At 9:30 or so D and I decided that we should probably go to the emergency room since I couldn't hardly move without bawling my eyes out.
They gave me a shot of pain killer and muscle relaxer at the ER, but couldn't find anything really wrong so they gave me a prescription for a pain killer and muscle relaxer and sent me home. I felt a little better later that day and Wednesday, but yesterday was back to hurting pretty badly. I think it was just cuz I made the mistake of going halvsies on the pain killer instead of taking the whole thing.
I woke up today at 7am and took another dose of the meds and was actually able to fall back asleep for an hour or so. While I still hurt, the pain is now centered around my tailbone instead of all over. The last time I was at the chiropractor, we looked at my x-rays and it showed that my tailbone as a serious curve to it. I know it's supposed to have somewhat of a curve, but mine is pretty outta whack and it flairs up now and again (which is why I have a butt donut to sit on in my computer chair. So, hopefully things will start working themselves out over the next couple of days.
In other news, I made a kickass peach crisp last night. D's mom had given me a can of peach pie filling sometime last week and rather than eat it straight out of the can (and gain 20 lbs.) I started looking at recipes I could use it for. D went to the store Wednesday and got the stuff we were missing and I ended up combining a couple recipes. It was basically the can of peach pie filling and a can of peaches for the base and then the topping was flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, oatmeal, and butter. We didn't have any ice cream or cool whip so we brought it into the house and shared it with D's parents in exchange for the use of their ice cream and cool whip. I was worried it wouldn't turn out well since it's the first time I've ever made it, but everyone had two helpings of it. :-D Everyone was in agreement that with the amount of crumb topping that it could've used another can of peaches, but it was still uber delish. D's mom even took some to give to his Aunt...and she wants the recipe so she can make it and take to her church. I think she also mentioned something about me making it for the Easter family get together. Yay!
Oooh...I've also gotten a lead on a potential job. D's friend found out that the place his brother works at is hiring. From what I understand it's kind of an assembly line type of position at a place that makes eyeglasses. It's third shift and it'd be around 11 hour days, but it's only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and it pays $10-$12 an hour plus full insurance. It also doesn't require any kind of customer interaction so I think I'd be perfect for it. I've got the phone number and am planning on calling them today and hopefully setting up either an interview or at least filling out an application on Monday (another reason why I need my back to get better).
So...yeah. I think that's pretty much all that's going on here right now. D's got a couple projects in limbo right now. It's just been so rainy that we haven't been able to get to any of them.
Anyway, that's all for now.
