Down to the wire!

I can't believe only 97 more days plus or minus before we get to meet little Emerson! Plus, we're down to 76 more days before we get to have a "romantic moment".

We've been abstinent for close to 20 weeks now and let me tell you we are ready to let loose!

We've already decided what hotel we're going to go to at 37 weeks and we figure since it's a daycare day we'll just make a nice afternoon of it including lunch and massages at the spa!

Of course, no romantic date would be complete without a little lingerie. Hmmm...I wonder if they have maternity lingerie!

Coins!

I have never really been into coin collecting. We tried to collect all 50 states and decided they were putting them out too slow and gave up on that whole idea.

Heck, I even purchased the quarter holder for the coins and I'm sure it's in the basement somewhere with $1.50 worth of quarters collecting dust.

I wouldn't know a rare coin if it were to hit me in the head!

However, I think it would be really special if we were to find Graem and Emerson's birth year and purchase rare coins in their honor. When I was a baby my grandparents were able to find the coins for my birth year and had them mounted. It was always really special to me.

ZoomCoin.com offers a great website for people like me who are newbies to collecting coins and need a little extra help along the way! I've always wanted a good coin dealer!

Broked.

This morning as I was getting ready for work I realized that one of our cabinet knobs had actually cracked.

We bought them years ago when we were in the "new homeowner phase" of life and actually cared and had time to maintain our house.

I hope that they have the knobs at our local store because I'd hate to have to pay an arm and leg for the same darn knob!

L Law.

Our friend L is starting her own practice and we are always there to give her good (bad) marketing and business advise.

Last night we talked about fax machines and I told her that she can subscribe to an online fax service so that she can get calls and still get faxes too.

Maybe she should open up a storefront and get digital signage so that the word gets out faster?

What a night.

Last night I got the call from my brother that our dad isn't doing well at all. He's bleeding and he has taken it upon himself to do oxygen and IV fluids in the comfort of his bedroom at home!

To say the least we're concerned and I'm wondering if we should get him medical jewelry for when he leaves the house so that if something were to happen people and healthcare providers would be aware of his situation and be able to treat him accordingly.

Maybe stairs aren't so bad.

These days Shawna's sleeping on the couch partly because her back has been bothering her but also it's a much shorter trip to the bathroom and going up and down the stairs is a real pain.

I think we might want to make an investment in either an upstairs potty or a stair lift!

Our stairs are pretty steep and we're always worried that we're going to fall down and them and it's really scary when we're holding a small baby!

We've got to do something!

It seems like every time Graem goes to daycare she ends up coming down with something. Just yesterday Shawna took her to the doctor and she has bronchitis for the third time in the past three months!

At this point she's on antibiotics and it makes us cringe giving her the meds because we really don't like using them and know that they will make her immune if she gets too many in her lifetime.

Maybe at some point we'll try a more natural type of cure that boosts the immune system such as Astragalus. Astragalus helps the defense system fight infection and disease.

Golf?

I can't imagine Shawna's going to get a whole lot of golfing in this summer! In fact, Branson private golf is notorious for having beautiful courses at really great prices.

We have friends that are avid golfers and golf around the world. They have a card where they can golf at so many courses and get a huge discount. PLus, they get their cards marked!

With two kids though, I can't imagine there's going to be too much time for anything!

Holy crap!!

Okay...so I can't get over that Shawna has made it to 23 weeks pregnant and in 13-19 weeks we're going to have a baby.

It seems like last time when I was pregnant Shawna had handled all of the small details and this time around...we have yet to do much of anything in preparation for the baby!

I guess at some point we'll put the carseat in, wash the baby clothes, put up the crib, and stare at her belly waiting for the little one to make her appearance!

Right around the corner...

I know within the year we are probably going to have to think about getting a new car. Shawna's car needs new tires, a new timing belt, and it sounds like the shocks might need to be changed again.

I mean it is 8 years and we can't expect it to keep running forever with minimal care!

At some point I really should check out Car Prices and see what it would cost us to get into a new or used Toyota Sienna.

CarsBlvd.com is a great website that offers car prices with minimal information. That way I can check out the Toyota and Honda and get a ballpark idea of what they both offer and the costs of each.

Long time, no post?

Yikes...I've totally been neglecting the website and for that...I'm sorry.

Work has been killing me lately and every minute I'm not trying to make this Thursday deadline I feel like I'm spending with Shawna and Grammy OR sleeping.

We're also trying to plan a trip to NYC to visit my dad and brother this weekend and I'm getting stressed about getting everything together in time!

The good thing is ... once the deadline gets here Thursday I can sit back and coast a little bit Friday after picking up the pieces of my other neglected projects.
