Swine Flu

We have been waiting for the swine flu vaccine in Mississippi. Dr. will get vaccinated October 29th when UMC gets their "employee" shipment in. My OBGYN has been unsure as to if they were even going to get alloted any at all. I got a message today that their shipment will arrive next week also and mine will be put aside so that I will get mine at my next visit! We are looking forward to a healthy winter!

Getting Ready for Baby

I don't think I am nesting yet because I still have not accepted that I am going to have a baby. But we all know how organized I am ( I have defintiely loosened up since meeting Drew..... I am not as OCD now). So I have decided to start preparing a little bit for baby. Last weekend I brought some hand-me-down baby things back from Mobile (thanks Kelly and the Bubster!). This weekend I installed a hand shower in each bathroom so that it will be easier to bathe baby. I am such a handy man! Today I think I will start on the cabinet locks.... not only will it keep baby Weber out of there, maybe I can finally get Molly to stop opening all the cabinets!

The swing looks like it just belongs doesn't it! Samer has tested it out and says he approves. Molly read the weight limit on the side and realized she could not test it out but says the color looks perfect with the decor.

Saving the World One Cat at a Time

As you have heard me say before, I have never known of a cat that prefers a dog bed. Molly has been sleeping with us for a while now so we got rid of her doggie bed ( not to mention she had grown out of it). It turns out that when Samer came aboard, we got him a doggie bed since he was spending the night in the bathroom. We wanted to make sure the little bub wasn't freezing at night. Samer has now matured enough to have the run of the sun room and kitchen at night and Molly actually likes to spend the night in there too. Well, it turns out that Molly had not gotten over the loss of her doggie bed and we soon found out that she was stealing Samer's bed. Unfortunately she couldn't fit in it very good!

Molly has probably tripled in size since her surgery. It has come to a point where I can no longer pick her up anymore because it strains my muscles to much and makes me out of breath. Molly did decide to take over Samer's bed. You know when an adult tries to sit in a kiddie chair and when you get up, the chair goes with you. Same thing has happened to Molly. As much as she loves Samer's bed, when she tries to get up, the bed stays on her hips for a little bit. You can tell in the picture above that she has squeezed herself into his bed.

So today I decided to make peace with the fight over the bed and went and bought Molly a new bed. The cashier asked me what type of dog I had...... um, i just have a really big cat...... So all is well in the Weber household. Peace has been made and we are ready for winter! Samer got his bed back and Molly got one that fits her better.

Wow Samer is about 4 times the size he was when we got him! He even has his own collar and name tag!

PS.... they should not let pregnant women look at the kitties in the glass cases at Pet Smart. I almost adopted a cat today. Black and white that had been at the shelter for a year and it said that she has recently grown depressed and won't even leave her bed for recess. How sad is that! I went and sat in my car and cried for about 10 minutes before I looked decent enough to go into Target.

PSS.... If anybody wants the cat I can go get her for you. She is about 20 pounds and just so sweet!

Molly v. Samer

I think Molly won but the diet coke box aided in her success.

14

Tomorrow will mark the first day of the 14th week! Tomorrow is October 14th which is exactly 6 months from our due date which is April 14th!!!! We went to the doctor today for our monthly check up. They had to take my blood today.... i know..... seriously. I didn't faint! I reminded the lady that I was a fainter and she asked if I wanted to lay in the recliner. I asked how many people actually use it and after she said that tons of people have used it, I decided to recline! I read the Jon and Kate plus 8 tabloids to her while she pricked the %(#$ out of me. She could have put duck tape on my arm hair and that would have felt better. Oh well, I survived! We heard the heartbeat again (which we have been listening to weekly). At first they couldn't find the heart beat but we had just heard it three days ago and I hadn't felt weird so I knew it was in there. Finally they found it! We go back in 4 weeks and find out if it is a girl or boy! I think it is a boy, doc, drew, and miss penny think it is a girl. Any other takers?

We met with the insurance lady to talk about the monthly payments for the medical care. It still hasn't hit me that I am pregnant.... it kind of hit me when she asked who my pediatrician was going to me........ um, i have no idea......... apparently i need to get one asap!

I just finished actually looking at my stomach in a mirror for the first time. HOW WEIRD> this is just crazy..... weird. I still can't accept it.

Here are pictures of me during week 13....... the belly finally surpasses the boobs. The other picture is of me reading my TMZ tabloids so I don't faint while getting my blood taken. I am pimpin' (wearing) a sweet (cool) high school t-shirt supporting one of our high schools in jps ( jackson public schools). I know you are jealous!

Me reclining.... after tragedy had struck my vein.

sleepy samer

apparently i have a double chin. how come no one told me? well, i guess it will be a part of me for 6 more months. samer has adjusted well to the house. he has a run of the house during the day and during the night he sleeps in the bathroom. he goes to bed at 9:30 and at 6:00 he gets up and eats breakfast with me and molly. in this picture, samer had just learned how to climb up on the leather chair ( i know molly is excited.... it was the only place she could get away from him). i guess it took all his energy because he crawled under my arm while i was working and went to sleep. it was close to his bedtime so i guess i don't blame him. if we wait too late and don't put him to bed, he goes and gets in his dog bed by himself. if you go in the bathroom and turn the light on, he gets mad at you.... so funny! what a little character he is. we looked up his age and he is 4 years old in cat years. samer acts exactly like a four year old. we started laughing when we looked it up because he is into everything and is entertained by the littlest things.

well, we hit twelve weeks yesterday! pretty much a third of the way through! i couldn't wait until twelve weeks because i thought i would be safe from any first trimester symptoms. even though i have not had any, i did not want any symptoms to show up! luckily i was only exhausted for two weeks, i feel normal again.... i mean at the end of the day all i can think about is the couch but i am not as tired. well apparently morning sickness has come to visit on week twelve. i don't feel bad but i will eat breakfast and then ten minutes later all of a sudden everything returns..... don't feel bad or anything, all of a sudden i just you know..... lose my breakfast i guess.

i know everyone wanted to know about my morning sickness so i am glad i shared :)

it feels like it has been thursday for about four days, TGIF not a second too soon.
