Yes, I Really Am

Just a few brief updates to keep the universe up to date with my life. The last two weeks every free moment was spent either on homework or with my sister. Seeing Sarah after so long was nothing short of wonderful, and having to say goodbye was awful. She seems happy, though, and that makes me happy. I definitely like Curtis, though I wish we would have gotten to spend more time with him to get to know him a little better.

Sunday Nan took us out to dinner at Olive Garden, my favorite restaurant in the WHOLE WORLD. Anyway, that was nice, but Nan had her card stolen at the end of the dinner. That was not so nice. Dear crook, shame on you. God will catch up with you.

Then work today, which crawled by. Why? Because I had an appointment to go to the pregnancy center to get a confirmation of my pregnancy for insurance purposes. I was so nervous that my body is still tense. Of course at the pregnancy center we ran into the mother of one of the girls we graduated from high school with. Lee insisted on saying hi and everything, and she was really happy to talk to us and tell us about Julie's life. That was cool. Then we had a little counseling/question session about our state of life, etc. This was neat because it made me feel good to hear Lee's answers to the questions. Its so good to be a family. Then a (very) quick urine test confirmed what we already knew. After that we had an early ultrasound to try and determine gestational age - the baby measured at 6 weeks, giving an EDD of May 6, 2008, but based on LMP it would be April 24th. I think it's somewhere in between there. But then again my kids are always late, so we'd better shoot for early-middle May! lol, like we have any control over that.

Then Lee took me back to Nan's, where a surprise was waiting for me. My sister in law Jackie was waiting for me there with my beautiful nephew Damien. He seems to be doing well. I must have held him tightly for 45 minutes. I just loved him. I have pictures, but Lee is on the computer that has the pictures, so I will post them a bit later.

After we went home, I had RCIA class at church. It was the first official class. It's going to be really interesting. It's quite a blend of people. I really liked the teacher tonight. We got to take home a binder of materials. I got to talk to Michelle a little bit, too, during the break. We've never really got to have a speaking conversation! So that was fun.

When I got home, I cracked open a bag of maternity clothes that Michelle gave me. WOW!!!! They are SOOOO nice!! I would have killed for nice jeans during my last two. We got more Magic School Bus books - oh, is Elijah going to be happy about that. For some weird reason, he loves them. Funny, because they are way over his level. There were a lot of other nice books, too. THANK YOU!!! :) :)

Well, now its time to get back to homework.
