No Furniture Yet

Well, I got my hopes up for nothing. The delivery people had set up an appointment for anytime between 1 and 5. We had already made reservations for dinner at 5:30. We thought we'd be good. That was my first mistake. They called at around 3:30, asking for directions to our house. They also said they were running a little behind, and maybe wouldn't be at our house until closer to 6. Well, the restaurant was right down the street from our house, so Dan said he'd stay behind to receive the delivery. My parents picked me up, and we waited, while I was about to scream b/c my hubby wasn't at dinner with us. At about 5:50, he called and told me the delivery men were still about 45 minutes away, and still had to get our furniture from the store before heading to our house! He told them to reschedule, and met us at dinner. We were so bummed. Hopefully we'll get it any day now. I just want to start filling up the dresser with the clothes I already have. I'll get a picture up when it's here.

Our Furniture!

Dan made an appointment today for our baby furniture to be delivered tomorrow between 1 and 5! Yay! My mother, brother and I all have our birthdays in April, so we're going out for dinner to celebrate. And after the restaurant, they're supposed to come over our house for cake and ice cream, so they'll get to see it! Yay! They'll also get to see my messy house! Boo!

Finally, Some News!

I am pleased to say that we have our childbirth classes set up. The first is a five week course, one night a week, for two hours. It's Labor & Birth. It starts in three weeks. Then, for two nights, we have a newborn class. It should be fun. We also should be getting our furniture any day now! It's taken longer than we thought. I am just looking forward to having it in the house! On a crappy note, I am having a lot of back pain, and I am taking an early leave of absence some time in May. Money will be tight, but I can't take that place much longer. The baby continues to kick and punch my insides, which is cool. I don't like it when he/she's quiet for too long. I've been saying 'he' a lot lately when referring to the baby, b/c I have a feeling we're having a boy, but we shall see. That's all for now. Rock on!

An Active Baby

I have been feeling the baby move on and off everyday now, and it's really cool! But, usually when I tell Dan to put his hand on my belly, the baby stops moving. Well, yesterday, Easter morning, I told him to give it a try, since the baby was being very active. As soon as he put his hand on my belly, he felt a kick! Or it could have been a punch, I don't know. But it was the coolest thing! Dan is so excited to be a Daddy. It's great to see him so happy. I hope everyone had a great Easter!

My Klutzy Self

The one thing I don't enjoy about pregnancy is how klutzy I have been. The following is a list of things I have either done to myself or broken:

1. A Rolling Rock pint glass I've had for ten years. Luckily I have a spare.
2. A glass vase, which went all over the kitchen floor, even though I broke it on the counter.
3. Poured about 3/4 cup of cereal and milk down the front of me. Had Dan's sweatshirt on, so I didn't feel a thing.
4. Walked into a wheel barrow at work.
5. Ran into walls many times at home. Our next house should have wider doorways!


As this list grows, I will be updating it. Let's hope it doesn't get too long!

We Ordered the Furniture!

Well, we ordered our furniture for the baby's room the other night! It should be here in no more than two weeks. Of course, we had a trainee place our order, so it took longer and we assumed something would get screwed up. It should be fine. Then, another trainee rang us up, which took forever, since the people in front of us seemed to be getting everything they'll ever need for their baby. We just have bad luck when it comes to this stuff, like dealing with people outside of our house! Anyway, the furniture was on sale, which was nice. I just can't wait until it comes. I told Dan he should spend the $25.00 to have them assemble the crib, but he says he'll handle it. I've never heard a good crib assembly story, so we'll see!
