*My Fair Share of Snot*

Now at 3 solid weeks of massive nose drainage and thundering coughs. Just when I thought both Haddie and I were getting better, I awoke with a semi truck on my face, while she has started leaving snail-slime-trails on everything in the house except Kleenex, and coughing through the whole night and nap times, resulting in a sad, whiny, crying baby. Curse this winter and the crappy air.

Monday we had our first Doctor visit. She said everything was wonderful, only I'm not as far along as expected. She pushed me back 10 DAYS! 10 pregnancy days seems like an eternity to me! Assuming I just ovulated very late (TMI?) my due date is now Aug 30. I am mostly upset because I was so close to rounding that corner close to 12 weeks, where I could start feeling safe from miscarriage, closer to feeling better and not so sleepy. Now I'm back down to a measly 9.5 weeks. But as long as baby is healthy...

Happy Birthday Sunday to my little big brother, Kyle.Who also has his fair share of snot! He is proving to be a good guy, despite his hairy first 2 decades. Father to 2 beautiful, silly girls, and husby to our Kare Bear, he seems to be a better man today than yesterday. Happy Birthday Old Fart.

Other things clouding my mind:
*IKEA. I am going through withdrawals. Moving Hadley to a new room is on my mind a lot lately, and I have a craving for fun bright baskets, and a big new quilt for her bed. If not those, then at least some inspiration!
*Spring. I want this more than I let on. I could cry, really. I have never craved mosquitoes and allergies more...oh and camping. This just sounds wonderful.
*Bowling and Pizza Factory. Its funny, my pregnancy cravings have not necessarily been food!
*Cranberry Juice
*Boiled Eggs. MMMMMMMMHM.
*Super Bowl Sunday at Jd's house. Why? Spinach-Artichoke Dip, Baby Noah Kisses (Jen is thinking 'Ya right, I just read how sick you are') and pretending to care about football.
*Did I just say my cravings weren't food? Hmm. Let me rephrase that...
*My Haddie turns 2 in just 3 weeks! She is looking so grown up lately, losing baby fat and doing EVERY LITTLE THING on her own. "Haddie DO IT!" So party planning, pictures, presents....
