7 Quick Takes

 It has been quite the busy week at work. So busy, in fact, that the coordinator of the Children's program at Church called me on Thursday and I still haven't called her back! I put my name down to volunteer on occasional Sundays in the Little Church program at our church. It's for ages 3-5 on Sundays during the 9:30am mass. Now I feel bad about not getting back to her...

Brian finished his two weeks of training (or boot camp as he likes to call it) for the writing program, which he is teaching this semester. He had to be there at 9am each morning, so we carpooled. Normally he would take the bus but since I was headed in that direction it wasn't a problem. Except that he made me late to work everyday this week. :) I'm glad things will be back to normal next week.

 Our Yosemite vacation starts tomorrow! We are leaving around 10am, and we should get there around 3pm, then we can check into our hotel. All our anniversary presents are wrapped and ready to go...lots of fun surprises on Sunday I'm sure! Still need to pack though...

Speaking of packing I can't find the tops to my swimsuits. In my endless wisdom I separated my bottoms from my tops, putting my tops somewhere less than obvious in a place I would never have remembered. So I have nothing to wear in the pool. Unless I want to go topless. I make things so easy for myself. The next time I decide to put something "where I won't forget" somebody smack me.

Bayar is my favorite. Since they're not my kids I get to choose.
 I have Babies on the brain. Literally - I'm talking about the documentary. Have you all seen it? It's one of my favorite movies of all time and I highly recommend it. I love learning about how other cultures raise children. I've watched it on Blu-ray four times now!

Three weeks ago my doctor moved me from my suppository to two oral tablets. I tried it for two weeks, and not only did it make me nauseous, but it also didn't work. At all. By the middle of this week I was ready to go to Urgent Care all over again. Thankfully they switched me back and I'm taking the stuff that works again, now once in the morning and once at night. Yeah, it's a suppository and that's not really cool, but at least it works.

Disclaimer: This is not my baby and I am not pregnant.
 Speaking of babies, my husband and I always disagree over whether or not we want to find out the sex of our baby on the ultrasound. I want the first one to be a surprise (I was a surprise) - but Brian NEEDS to know. Like, IreallyneedtoknoworIwilldieofanticipation know. What do you guys think - wait until the day of or find out as soon as possible?

  1. Hope you have a great trip and wonderful first anniversary!

    We decided not to find out the sex, but my husband initially wanted to. Just like you, I was the one that wanted the surprise and it took me a while to convince him, but I finally did. We may find out with future children (if we are blessed with more), but I am really enjoying the surprise. Most people find out these days but there really aren't that many true surprises left in life, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be surprised. Do be prepared for friends and family to bug you about it though - it's so much easier to buy gender specific baby stuff - gender neutral stuff is hard to find and not always so cute!

  2. My husband and I have no human children yet, just one dog, but we have decided to find out on the first but then afterwards let it be a surprise. I was definitely the one who insisted on knowing because I am a crazy Type A planner. Hope you had a great trip! :)
