A Load of Loot!

So, just in case there is anyone still checking my blog (seeing how I have basically abandoned it this week!) I thought I'd share with you a couple of things I scored today. First, and foremost the new Casting Crowns CD. I tried to download it (legally, via purchase), but had serious difficulties, so in my need to have it NOW I was forced to purchase it in a brick & mortar store! The cool thing is that I actually purchased it at Lanhams instead of Lifeway (where I usually go) and I got a free T-shirt with my purchase! Yay!

Another thing I found while there at Lanhams was a series of DVDs called Praise Baby. It's like Baby Einstein only the music doesn't make you want to cut your own head off after 2 minutes of listening. (Ex. Lord I Lift your name on high, Shout to the Lord, etc!) ALSO! You can choose whether you want sweet children's voices, or for when you need a bit more adult listening pleasure, you can select a soothing female voice for the songs. Brilliant, I say, absolutely Brilliant!!


Also, the reason I happened to be near any shopping center today was that I had to go to the doctor. He said that everything looks good so far, but we didn't get to see a heartbeat as I was hoping we would. You could definitely see changes in the ultrasound, but the Dr thinks I am probably not as far along as we first thought. That is very possible, since I haven't been keeping up with those type things! It actually makes a bit more sense, the date of conception, according to my previous due date, would have required immaculate conception,....if you know what I mean!

So! I am cautiously optimistic that when I go back next week we will know more about how far along I actually am and everything will be fine. Nevermind that I am a nervous wreck in the meantime, with a blood pressure to prove it....something over 98. (mine is usually 110/60ish) Dr. H always just shakes his head at this number. I'll be better when I can feel it move, until then.....I don't talk, eat, or do much else besides pray on the day of my visits, until I get the all clear!

I hope everyone is having a great week! I am basically napping with my child whenever possible, and trying to keep my food down. I'll do my best to pick up my visits in blogville this week!

I have been missing your blog, glad to hear from you today.

Even though it has been 12 years, I still remember the sickness and feeling icky. I kept a garbage can in my car cause sometimes I just didn't have time to pull over! It would hit that fast....but just know that I am thinkging of you daily. Hope your Dr. visits keep being good!

Got your text...so glad all is well. I just know all is fine but I know you'll feel much better when a real doctor confirms it! :)

And I bought the CC cd yesterday. All I can say is "Somewhere in the Middle" I can barely listen to it without crying like a huge baby...

And don't worry, i'll be posting about it tomorrow..:))
