Brandon's 1st day of High School





Today is Brandon's big day, his first day of High School at Senior High! Can you believe it? I can't, he was just finishing 4th grade at Irving when I came into his life, crazy how time flies.  He seemed excited to start school again, at least I didn't hear any grumbling when I woke him up this morning, we'll see how tomorrow and the rest of the week goes. Good luck Brandon!

This weekend we stayed home from camping, we had lots going on. Friday night was Dubuque and All That Jazz, we  haven't been to one of these in forever and our Jazzercise group was doing a FLASH MOB check it out! It was so much fun, unfortunately, I wasn't a part of it because I have not been Jazzin since Vegas. I'm waiting to talk to the doctor on Wednesday to find out if it's a good idea or not. The docs in Davenport said I could do low impact, but I'm just really nervous until I find out that everything is OK after my first ultrasound. Speaking of U/S, I had a crazy dream last night about it, it was kind of scary, I won't go into details, this was a first of scary/crazy dreams. I've heard they just get worse. Great, can't wait.

After All That Jazz, we went home and crashed, I was tired, even though it was only 9:30 or so, I tried staying up to watch a movie with Tom but I was out within about 10 minutes.

Saturday we got to sleep in and it felt great, I got up about 9:30 or so and made breakfast, sausage and eggs, then started to clean the house, it was much needed. That took us to about 3:30, we got showered up and ready for the Corn Boil at Judy and Mike's house in Dickeyville, WI. She's a Jazzercise instructor and they have a corn field in there back yard and every year around this time they have a corn boil. We usually are camping and since we decided this year to go we stayed home. Tom whipped up a delicious pasta salad to take with us and they had hamburgers and just a ton of food. Oh and of course, sweet corn, it was so good. The only bad thing was it was raining. We headed home about 8:30 and again I crashed when I got home.

We got up early the next morning to go to church, it's been forever since we've been and it felt good. After mass, everyone shakes hands or hugs the pastor and he always gives me a hug and he said "I heard some good news about you and Tom the other day" and he gave me a big hug, it was awesome! I said lots and lots of prayers for good things to come. That afternoon we headed over to East Dubuque where they had a benefit for the flood victims. They had different bands, food and vendors. Linda and her sister made necklaces and they sold quite a bit and half the profits went towards the flood victims. It was beautiful day out. We headed home about 3:30 so Tom could take a nap before work that night.

I'm so looking forward to this week, only 2 more days of my Progesterone shots, today and tomorrow, and Wednesday is our big ultrasound day. We have decided to ask our mother's along and I think they are both coming! I think I'm more nervous now that they are coming, just because I hope all is OK with the baby. I just haven't had any "real" symptoms yet and that scares me, but everything I read says it's normal, everyone is different but it all lies in God's hands. I keep praying every night! More to come on Wednesday!
