Sunday is a great day!

Yay!! When I wake up in the morning, it'll be Sunday. I'm not excited to have to work in the morning, but I am excited that it is Sunday. That means Scott is on his way home! Yay!! I am excited for him to come home from his adventures. I'm excited to hear his stories and see his pictures. I'm excited to hug him and hold his hand. But mostly, I'm just excited to have my husband and best friend home. Twelve days is a long time to have your best buddy away from your side. So, now, I will head to bed so it'll be Sunday. Hope everyone else has as good as a Sunday as I will!

How Does He Do It?

Much to my surprise, the sweet love notes keep coming. I found one with some Baskin Robbins gift certificates on Tuesday, so I headed to get my treat, and lucky for me, it was $1 scoop night!! Yay! So I got two scoops, and only used half of my gift certificates. More sweets for me:)

Then, Scott tells me to keep an eye on the mail. I checked Wednesday, nothing. I checked today(Thursday) before work and still nothing. But the mail had not arrived yet for the day, so I checked on my way home. And what do I find??? The sweetest note of them all that made me bawl like a little baby. And not to mention, he told me to look in our linen closet where he had hidden a box of fine dark chocolates under our pillow cases.

Man, I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

Love Notes

I'll warn you now, this post is going to be a little cheesy. Ok, maybe WAY cheesy. But I love my husband very much. He is currently on an adventure without me. That doesn't happen too often, but he and his buddy took off to hit up climbing in Yosemite, backpacking in the Redwoods, sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands, climbing in Leavenworth Washington and an international beard and mustache festival in Bend Oregon. Fun for him! Not so much for me, seeing as I am stuck at home working while he is out having fun.

On to the cheesiness. He felt terrible for leaving me behind. The day he left, I found a note telling me how much he'll miss me and how much he loves me and baby boy Copeland. Then, he goes on to tell met hat if I get lonely, I just need to watch a little Magnum PI. We have the complete seventh season on DVD:) So, the next day, I pull out Magnum PI just to find a hidden note with a five dollar bill and his blockbuster card, telling me that it is my ticket to the girliest movie I can find while he is gone. And that he thinks I am the cutest pregnant lady ever:)

A few days later, I find, hidden in a kitchen cabinet underneath a platter we have, a puzzle and a note from him telling me I am his number one puzzler and he thought I might be getting bored without him there, so he wanted to entertain me while I was gone. Anyway, short but sweet. I feel loved. And I'm lucky to have a husband who thinks of me, even when he is far away on his manly adventures.

Man!

We had our first ultrasound two days ago! At 17 weeks 5 days. We have not heard from the doctor yet, but the radiologist said everything is looking great and my due date is right on point. We are so excited to know that we are having a MAN! Yay! He will be the cutest, manliest little man ever:) He weighed in at a whoppin' seven ounces with a heart rate of 155 bpm. We're almost halfway done...well, in two weeks anyway.

Here are some ultrasound shots for your viewing pleasure.

P.S.

I forgot to mention...

Only five months and twelve days until my due date! Yay! I'm getting there, slowly but surely:)

Our week.

If you have been reading our blog for awhile, you may remember way back to last year when Scott and I headed down to Coyote Gulch to go backpacking. It was a blast! After we survived our long stormy night anyway. Scott wanted to go back, so he took off with his man buddies to go again this week. I couldn't go. 1. Couldn't get the time off work. 2. I'm not a man. 3. I'm pregnant, how am I supposed to carry so much gear on my back?? Not going to happen.
While Scott is gone, he told me to be as girly as could be. So I get to go shopping, get my hair done, go to a doctors appointment, that fun kind of stuff. Oh, and work of course. Either way, it'll be a fun few days! Even though I do miss my favorite buddy.

Silly Doctors

Silly Docs. That's what I said to myself yesterday. I had my first appointment on friday, so naturally, I had all of my blood tests done. Like every doctor, they said they would call if something came back abnormal, otherwise they'd see me at my next appointment. Wednesday rolls around and I am at work. My phone rings, I'm busy and don't recognize the number, so I let it go. New voicemail! I listen. It's the doctors office saying they got my results and they need me to call them. So I freak out for a few minutes thinking something is wrong. When I finally get the nerves to call them back, I tell them who I am and that they just left a message. 'Oh, thanks for calling us back. We just wanted to let you know that all of your tests came back NORMAL. Everything is perfect!" What?!?! You made me call you back for that? I thought you only called if something was ABnormal?? "Well, we also wanted to let you know that you are immune to the chicken pox, so we'll see you at your next appointment!" Yay!! I was sooooooooooooooooooo excited. And Scott was so relieved. He's had a hard time being excited for baby because he worries that there will be complications. And good news! I don't ever have to worry about getting the chicken pox:) Thanks for letting me know docs, but that could have waited. Save me the worry session next time. Silly doctors.
