What a week....

Wow am I ever ready for this week to be over...It hasn't been the best week ever but of course, it could have been much worse.
My week started out on Monday with picking Bowzer up from a weekend at Doggy Day Camp and them telling us earlier in the day that Bowzer now has a sore on his back that has been bleeding and has puss coming from it. Hearing this was a bit disappointing but knew I was just going to have to bring him to the vet once I got done with work. Well, I got there and had to pay for our stay at the PetHotel and the Doggy Day Camp, and because he had a "wound" he had to be put in a "Special Care Unit" which ended up costing a lot more. Then I proceeded to ask what happened to Bowzer that he has this wound and nobody seemed to know. Hmm...riiiiiight. So I went on to his vet appointment for them to look at it and they came to the conclusion that Bowzer got bitten by another dog and that he needed to be on two seperate antibiotics. So then we left the vet with even more of an empty wallet. :-( O'well. Can't do too much about it I guess.
Tuesday rolled around and as many of you knew, our basement was supposed to get finished on Tuesday. Well...it didn't happen! The people that were supposed to do it just about doubled their estimate and that was a little too much for us. So we didn't hire them anymore. So now, all this time I had been looking forward to it just getting done, and done quickly, went straight down the tubes. Thats all that really happened on Tuesday but it was really disappointing.
Wednesday rolled around, which was supposed to be my first day off in awhile. It started out with me having to bring pies into work from Bakers Square for everyone to enjoy. So I stopped by there, went into work and dropped off the pies...not so bad right?! Well...it gets worse. Lets back up one quick second...late last week we had this little rash checked out that Kira had to make sure it wasn't anything serious or contagious or anything because Kira was going to be around some other kids over the weekend. At the time, they confirmed that it was little bite type things. So they gave us a presciption and we were on our merry ole way. Well...so Wednesday came and the rash had gotten progessively worse and since I was going to be at the clinic anyway, I wanted to ask our pediatricians what else to do for it since this one prescription lotion wasn't working. Well, the reason why it wasn't working is because the bites weren't the problem in the first place. Kira has the chicken pox! Yikes! So since Wednesday, it has gotten worse and worse, so we're currently battling that and hope it goes away real soon. :-( Meanwhile from such a busy day that was supposed to be my day off, that ended up being rather chaotic because of small stupid things, my hormones started to take over and the emotions ran wild.
Thursday came around and was at least a little better. I stayed really busy as usual, and worked the evening, and came home to a rather quiet house. It was nice.
Now, its Friday, and hopefully it goes good. My plan for the day isn't much, so hopefully it stays that way. Laundry and an oil change are my main priorities today, so that shouldn't be so bad. Then my weekend starts out working....unfortunately, its my weekend to work. I can't complain a whole lot though because I don't work weekends all that much.

Well, we only have 89 days left of this pregnancy! I'm very excited for it to be all over, but very nervous at the same time. My C-Section is already planned and names are slowly getting closer and closer to being picked out, so we're on our way to the end. All in good time! :-) We're starting to plan Christmas plans and getting more squared away too, so thats made it feel alot closer too. Woo Hoo! I'm starting to get a bit anxious about what the gender of the baby is, but know I have to wait! :-D It's the anticipation of not knowing before that got me through everything in the end.

Hope you're all doing well! Have a great weekend!

It's amazing how busy we've gotten over the past few weeks and how busy things are getting. Holy cats! We have another break soon so I can't complain! :-)
This week started out kind of eventful. I found out that I failed a test called a glucose tolerance test. What that is is if you fail it twice, you get diagnosed with gestational diabetes. So I failed the first time and had to come back for further testing. Well, I just found out this morning that I passed the second test! YEA!! It was a relief to know I didn't have that, that would have complicated things a bit.
I had a nice suprise for Tom this last week. We went to a Vikings game last year on December 23rd and had an absolute awesome time. We got the tickets from a friend of the family for a little bit of nothin and had a blast. I thought it would be fun to do that again this year, but knew it was going to be harder once we got into December. So I ended up getting two Vikings VS. the Green Bay Packer tickets for the November 9th game! Tom thought that was pretty awesome and we're both pretty pumped to go! We're going to make a whole date weekend out of it, no dog, no Kira, just us! I'm really excited! It'll probably be our last horrah before the new baby gets here, so I'm sure we'll have a great time.
A little bit more exciting news too that I forgot to share before was that I got selected to be our October Employee of the Month at work! I was VERY excited to be chosen. I got chosen among the other 100 employees we have there. It was quite the honor! So as you probably gathered, work is going very well too! :-)
I think thats all I have for now! Hope you're all having a great week!
