Pregnant

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

So Friday morning I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive…  Scheduled a doctor’s appointment later in the day and they confirmed what we were already suspicious – we’re pregnant!  The doctor informed me I was 5 weeks along and had a due date of May 15.  :)

There was a lot of family at Tobin’s parents’ house as his Grandma recently had a stroke.  We showed up and brought Greg’s early birthday present with us (little did he knew what it held).  I told Greg he’s have to open the present before we left (but really I was hoping much sooner than that).  Greg proceeded to eat his dessert painstakingly slow (the suspense was killing me).  We were there for about 2 hours before Greg finally opened his present.

Boy haven’t updated my website in ages. It seems like my summer was so busy – and now Tobin’s back to school (this is his EIGHTH year teaching).

Asher (Tobin’s brother), his girlfriend (Kristen), and Laura (Tobin’s sister) were also there. Tobin’s dad BBQed up some amazing wild Salmon (yum – my fave), then we went for a walk down to the marina. (The pic at left is from that little walk.) We eventually ended up back at the house playing card games and eating dessert. At one point the game got quite animated as all the Springs boys sounded off with their best Star Wars impersonations (Asher had a Star Wars deck or two).

Saturday we decided to stick around for a bit (Tobin’s first day of school was coming up and he had originally planned on getting home first thing so he could work in his classroom). At around 9 or so we headed off to a muffin shop and ate some muffins (yum), then headed off to the North Cascades via Hwy 20. (more…)

Wow…

OK, so I’ll admit I didn’t watch the Republican National Convention last night as I was watching (ahem) Top Model.  But I read the comments on Little Green Footballs about Sarah Palin’s speech and went looking for it.  I found the speech and the transcript and just finished reading it.  Wow.  I’m excited for the election.  :)
