101 Baby!

I JUST noticed that this is the 101st post on this blog

{how did I manage to miss the #100}

Anyhoo.... Its been a busy week!

My parents left town for a few days for a more private anniversary celebration

{can you blame them?}

They drove up to Banff Canada, something they've always wanted to do.

Not gonna lie I kinda wish I'd gone with them haha It looked beautiful from the few pictures they shared with us.

BUT that meant I got to play the role of mother of 8 {with one on the way} for a few days.

WOW my mom does a lot! 

{and I only did like the bare minimum}

I also had to work two times this week 

{I know that's really not that much... but hey.. don't be hating on my hours!} 

And last night.... *sigh* I'm so embarrassed we got to sit in the ER for 4 and a half hours...

I'd been having a really tight feeling in my chest and neck and it had lasted about a day and while it didn't hurt, it was really uncomfortable and it just didn't feel like something was right.  Not to mention a severe leg pain I'd had all day the day before.... {blood clots are common during pregnancy} so after talking to my doctor we decided it wouldn't hurt to go in and have them check everything out.  So at 8:07 pm we strolled into the ER.  I felt so dumb because I was like walking and basically fine other than being pretty light headed/dizzy... but I wasn't like bleeding to death or anything... gah.  I'm an idiot.  And I got blood work done, an EKG, a chest X-ray, and an ultrasound of my legs {that was kinda weird} and the whole time I just sat in my bed and everybody came to me or wheeled me there {in the bed}.  I hate people like that - you know that go into the ER just because whatever has been hurting kinda and they want to check it out?  I fought against it in my AP Government class how much money is lost in ERs.... anyway...  Nothing was wrong.  I am fine.  My chest still feels kinda tight but hopefully it'll just go away.  So we sauntered home about 1:00 am... fun date night eh babe? ; )  But I am glad to know everything really is ok.  Better to make sure than end up being too late for... uh... something bad?  ha I don't know.  

HOWEVER, one good thing did come out of the whole trip to the Emergency Room.  When  I was getting my leg ultrasound {still seems weird to me ha} the ultrasound tech was very kind :) I told her I was having the anatomy scan of the baby on Wednesday so I was 'dying' to know if it was a boy or a girl.  After going up and down and not finding anything in my legs she said, "Alright, want me to take a peek at that baby?!" 

me: "YES!!!!!!!!"  haha but Jeremy wasn't currently in the room, so I told her she could write it down on a piece of paper and we could decide when I got back to the room if WE together wanted to look at it.  

AND we did :) BUT we're NOT telling anybody what that special little piece of paper said until Wednesday just to be sure ;)  I feel like that's fair enough.... 

So there you go.  That's our busy busy week :) 

And now that it's the weekend we're going to enjoy a pre-4th of July family bike ride with my family along the trail of Lake Coeur d'Alene!  I'm so excited!  Lake Coeur d'Alene is like the most beautiful thing ever!!!

So ttfn - ta ta for now!

Can't wait to share with you who this little baby is :D 

{Wednesday....}
