Does everyone else feel like you can never get ahead? Dustin and I had a very busy day Saturday. We were hosting a engagement shower for Christa and Reagan at the house on Saturday evening, and getting ready for it turned into quite a chore! That morning I made a couple dishes for the appetizer table, before heading to Page's baby shower. My sister's best friend/ my other sister Page is expecting a baby girl in June, and my sister, Mom, and her friends threw her a shower at my Mom's house Saturday morning.
While I am at the shower on Saturday Dustin calls with a small panic in his voice. He was looking for his PVC pipe cutters. Of course I ask "why". The sprinkler pipe in the backyard was busted/leaking so there was standing water in the back yard. So after Dustin, Trigger, and Millie took a short trip to Home Depot, and a part of the back yard dug up he had fixed the pipe. By this point we were in a panic to get our house in order before everyone started to arrive. I had to set up the tables, finish the food, and re vacuum the floors. We somehow threw it together, and the other girls hosting helped me finish the rest.
The party was going great, after the mini flood in the dining room from the leaking wine tub. Everyone was having a fun time, and I started to relax. Then Dustin noticed that our freezer was leaking water. GREAT! The freezer had gone out, and was working really hard to try to run. After Dustin left trying to go "find" another freezer in a hurry, he came home with 20 bags of ice for us to put our meat in ice chests for the night. Just what I wanted to hear "we need to buy another freezer".
That morning we went back outside to see if the freezer would work. NOPE! It would try to run and throw the breaker. To Sears we headed. Thank goodness Sear's was having their family and friends sale. We got a good deal on a new freezer, and had to go to the Richmond Sears to pick it up. Just what I wanted to do on my Sunday, when I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a Mack truck. I think I over did it on Saturday. My whole body hurt! I guess when you are pregnant you can't do as much as you normally think you can.
Monday I woke up still feeling very tired and a little sore. Our neighbor’s mother watches their cute little girl on Mondays and Fridays at their house, and she brings her dog. Trigger and this dog do NOT get along. Trigger has literally dug a mud pit in the back yard where he tries to kill this dog through the fence. It is literally a fight for mine and his sanity every Monday and Friday. I go outside to see if the dog is inside before releasing ours to avoid confrontation. This Monday I was still sore and tired, and when I came in Trigger flung the door open to turn loose his rath on the dog. Next Millie flew out the door to join in on the fight. Millie will listen when I call her back, but of course Trigger ignores me. I went to go get him and as I went to grab his collar he pulled back, and I went flying to the ground. Normally I would not worry, but I fell right on my belly. SMOOTH MOVE CASEY. I got very scared and upset. I call Dustin crying; because I was scared I hurt the baby. It was a pretty hard fall. I call the doctor, and she told me to take it easy and lay down, and if I started cramping I need to come in right away. I left Trigger outside, and had to get my Mom to come over and get him inside for me. Luckily baby Clark and myself are fine. Dustin and I had ordered a Doppler offline about a week ago, and it came in on Monday. That really put my mind at ease. It is so cool to listen to the little heart beat whenever we want. I do have to say that baby Clark is defiantly VERY active. We can't hold the heartbeat for very long before he/she moves on to another location.
This weekend Dustin's parents and sister Ashley are coming in to visit. We are really excited, because we have not seen them in awhile. Can't wait for the weekend!
