HAPPY NEW YEAR

So much has been going on, I feel like I can't even write it all for you to catch up. So......we are moving forward!
It's a new year! Yay! Lots of great things to come, I'm sure. (Baby Dill at the least).
I'm tired, it's taken a couple of days to fix the blog background & I don't have much else to report. Daily life of work, dogs, eat & sleep has been routine for the most part & I'm hoping that with the arrival of our baby, our routine will change slightly(ALOT) this year.
Dogs are good, house is great and my husband is the best ever and we have a baby on the way! Does it get any better?

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

Yawn.....
I need sleep. For some reason I am awake between the hours of, oh 2am and 6am. Can't sleep, am restless. And although I can't actually FEEL our baby moving, I swear he/she is in there running a marathon. So, some sleep would be nice. Continuous sleep.....like 10 hours. Like back in college when you could sleep for forever. What happened to that?

In other baby news, I am getting a cute lil' belly & can no longer wear real women's pants. Everything maternity. And thank goodness for some decent styles. Shirts I'm ok on....but some are kind of short, b/c ahem, someones belly is like 3 or 4 beer guts, not just 1 anymore.

I am loving the whole pregnancy thing. For some reason, I am starting to have all the cravings & poor Matt is suffering on the weight side. But seriously. Who wants to eat Sonic blasts alone? Or fried pickles (no, not together friends). Or rotel/cheese ALL WEEKEND LONG.

Thinking about Christmas coming up, can you believe we are almost 4 months pregnant? Weird. We'll have our bundle in no time! Matt will have his very first father's day just weeks after our baby is born! And this time next year we'll have a bundle of joy who will be reaching for all the presents....oh my. Really makes me want to quit my job & do nothing for the next 5 months but sleep ALL DAY LONG.

Excited to see our families at Christmas! We'll be doing lots of driving as usual, but I'm thinking that may change next year. Who knows. All I know is that I can't wait to give everyone presents.....definitely the best part. Especially when you think of the perfect gift!

Annie & Buddy got Christmas clothes. Didn't have time for the pic. Annie had a beautiful Christmas dress and Buddy had a green ornament sweater. They were so cute. Matt loved coming home to dressed up dogs (i just know it!)

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas Season!!

NEWS AND PICS

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will have a better ultrasound of Baby Dill....for now this one will work. We were 6 weeks when we had this one done. We are currently 14 weeks preggo. So fun, especially since the morning sickness has started to go away! I have a little bump & just had to buy some new maternity pants.

Annie got a new friend. His name is Buddy. They are getting along so great! I am so happy for Annie that she no longer has separation anxiety. I can go to work guilt-free....imagine that!

That is all the news for now! We are getting ready for the holidays. Time seems to be going by so fast!

SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!

Well...only a half day left of work until the I can begin to relax.

Plans for this year: Dills in the morning Towes in the evening. Wear some comfy pants!

In other news, we are in a position to adopt another dog....we are going to pick him up Friday & do a trial 2 weeks to see how everything goes. We did a friendship test Saturday & Annie met him. They played. Weren't best friends. But they didn't get in any fights. So....we will see how everything goes. (note to self: need another leash, collar and crate).

There is so much to be thankful for this year. I am definitely ready for the holidays!

PUT ON THE COMFY CLOTHES

I love coming home from work. The first thing I do....let Annie inside, say hello & watch her run around and jump like crazy. You would think we had been gone 5 years and not just 1 work day.
the second thing I do.....put on comfy clothes. Sometimes its sweats. Sometimes pj's. Sometimes a random outfit that I hope nobody sees.

I am not liking this cold, crazy windy weather. Ehhh ewww!

Today I was very chatty at work. Lots going on. Talk about doctors, pto, holidays, on-goings with our families, etc....criminals, the ER. Whatever you like.  Banks, bank accts, shopping, not leaving your purse in your car, muggings, etc. We are usually all over the place. Dogs, dog toys....yes this was all today:)

In the craziness of it all, I get wrapped up in it. however, I love coming home & seeing my husband & our pups and being out here in cow town where it is nice & QUIET:)

HE'S BAAAAACK

It's been so good having Matt home that I had temporarily put the blog on hold. More important things were pressing for our attention.
Anyways, he had a great trip. I'm glad he's home & not involved in any of the A380 craziness. They don't call the Airbus a Scarebus for nothin'!
Not much else to report. Kind of boring on our side here. Annie is good. Work is eh...I wish Matt and I could work together every day. I always miss him so much!
Anyways, I am glad tomorrow is Wednesday. It's HIM (Health Information Management) week & my boss & her boss are taking us out for lunch. YUM. I wonder where we get to go!?
As usual, I am already ready for the weekend!! Only a couple days left in the work week!
I am ready to take a long soak with the relaxing bath salts I bought the other day. One whiff & your cares instantly go away.....now doesn't that sound like a great end to every day!

OH THE DRAMA....

Crazy drama at work today! What kind of drama do you experience at your job? (if any at all).

Working at a hospital can be just nuts. These tv shows don't even capture the half of it.

Anyway, I am anxious to see what tomorrow brings. I can't wait to share with Matt. He thinks I'm touchy about re-entering the work force anyway. Just wait til he hears about the madness today!

On another subject: It's cold. I don't like the cold + windy weather. I predict a heater turns on soon!
