THE UPDATE....SOO LONG!!
HOLY MOLY THERE IS A TON TO UPDATE ABOUT!!!
I think I am gonna do this as concisely as possible, because it will be HELLA long if I don?t. I am sure I will miss some stuff, so if you have a question, ask! Hopefully I will be on here more regularly, but not guarantees! I?m gonna do it by dates and sequence of events:
February 20, My baby shower in Ft. Lauderdale was AMAZING! I had a ton of fun and got lots of great stuff to finish up Sadie?s nursery! After the shower, my niece took my maternity pictures. I?ve gotten some and I think she did a pretty good job! She got some good ones! I can?t wait to see the rest of them! I am having issues uploading them to FB, I want you all the see them! Maybe I will put them on my blog?yeah, that?s a GREAT idea!
February 23, Dr?s appt and we got an ultrasound?Sadie is still a girl. They estimated her to be about 5lbs 13oz at that point and said she?ll be about 7 pounds or so at birth?we shall see soon!
March 10, Gil took his truck to get it checked out, cause the check engine light came on?well come to find out the head gasket was blown! Good reason for it to be driving so terribly and just being sucky! They said it would be $2700 to fix the head gasket or $4300 to replace the entire engine. We?ve had the truck (from his parents originally) for 3 years now. It?s served us well, but I have been trying to talk him in to getting a new ?baby-friendly? car that gets better gas mileage
March 11, my last day of work until I am done with maternity leave! I am SOO excited to just be relaxing at this point. I had a lot going on at work and my boss is a DOUCHEBAG so it will be a nice relief to not have to work with him for a VERY long time!! Work has been sooooooo crazy busy, but I just don?t feel bad for taking this week off for myself. They will be fine and I will be GREAT just sitting at home this week!
March 12, my mom?s birthday in ft. Lauderdale was AWESOME. The weather here SUCKED so we didn?t really get to do much of anything, but just hang out, which was really nice.
March 14, Gil and I went car shopping?We went to the Nissan dealership where we got my car last year. We knew we didn?t want a brand new car, so we looked at the used cars. Gil wanted an altima, but I REALLY wanted a maxima! The altimas they had there weren?t the best, but they had a Silver 07 Maxima with just under 30,000 miles?IT WAS A PERFECT MATCH FOR US!!! I totally talked them down like $4000, AND they gave us $2000 for Gil?s truck! It was FREAKIN AWESOME!! Also, at the dealership they have a spin and win promotion when you buy a car?so we got to spin a big wheel and we ended up winning a cruise for 2 to the Bahamas! Yesterday was a great day!
Well, today is today? I am just trying to finish up getting things organized around here. Sadie?s nursery is done and we are just patiently?.well trying to be atleast, awaiting her arrival! I want her to be here now, but don?t want to rush her. We go to the Dr. again on Wednesday and if she doesn?t come before then, we will schedule a day to induce before the 25th. I can not wait to meet my little Sadie girl! I am sure there were other things to update on?OOH, some of you may have seen in other post, I did NOT get my haircut yet?I fully plan on doing it. We will see if I can get an appointment for tomorrow, but if not INBD! I will get it done eventually!
If you made it here?thanks for listening! I?ve had a lot going on, and I have missed you girls! I?ll keep you all posted about when to pull the couch out!!!
XOXO
Re: THE UPDATE....SOO LONG!!
I'm sitting here not believing that you are about ONE WEEK until Sadie's due date. Where the heck did the time go??? Thanks for updating us! That sucks about the truck, but it sounds like it was meant to be. Congrats on the cruise too, that had to take away some of the pain of needing to get a new car right now, right??
Hope Sadie wants to come out soon so that you, daddy, and her Novembie-aunts can meet her already!
Here's to a healthy and comfortable pregnancy home-stretch
Thanks for an update! Congratulations on the cruise! How awesome. And the car of course!
We can't wait to see maternity pictures and to meet Sadie!
Agreed! Congrats on all fronts, that's awesome! I can't believe you only have a week left...that's so exciting! Can't wait to meet Sadie!
THAT just is an awesome post! I'm glad you got the car---the Bahama trip-that's terrific!... That Sadie is def a girl!-esp at this stage!... and you're on leave.. AND you'll get to meet your little girl very soon! Wow!
Sheri---where's the couch?!?
What a fantastic update! Thanks for taking the time to do it even if it was a little bit hectic. Congrats on the car and the cruise...how fun is that!
I can't wait for Sadie to get here.....just in case things get crazy...you can always text me and I will update everyone
(i'm a baby news hog, I know)
Awesome! Congrats on the new car and the cruise!
Can't wait to meet Sadie!
Sadie is coming soon!!! yay
and I am so jealous about that cruise... I NEVER win anything like that.
I will or I'll have Gil text! I am sure he will be on FB right away!!! and you only hog it for like 30 seconds...then you tell all the novemb-aunties!
I will have my phone at the hospital...so if you all are on the couch, you BETTER be playing words with friends to distract me!!!! Gil and I can play each other, but the more people I have to distract the better!!!
