Well, hello... it's been over 6 months since I updated. Yeah for being unmotivated and busy. I have had a lot going on in the past couple of months.

Here's a rundown:
• We've been to 2 conventions (Anime Central), 1 wedding (Congrats Josh & Robin), 1 vacation (Yeah for Pittsburgh), 2 baseball games (Go Tincaps), 3 festivals (Cherry Blossom, Three Rivers & ACD) and several BBQ's.
• We've seen almost all of the Summer Movies we were highly anticipating, some were AWESOME (Star Trek, The Hangover, Ponyo), some were Good (GI JOE, Transformers 2, Night at the Museum 2) and some were sucky (X-Men Origins is the biggest suck I can think of).
• I turned 26 and can no longer say that I'm in my early 20's.
• We gave up one of our cats (Kyo, went to a new home where he can be an only cat).
• Josh got put back into the Nursery Specialist position at Lowes and has been kicking a** at it. I'm still at the same job and still enjoying it being 1 of 2 designers at a company that's doing well.
• We painted the Living Room a lovely dark shade of Green and got new furniture in the Living Room and have hung some more pictures up. We've got plans for some of the other rooms as well.
• On to family news. My little sister turned 21 and now knows where ALL the bars in town are. My brother been having a rough time with the Navy. I won't go into details, but think or pray good thoughts for him, he could use them. We've had several fun outings with my parents since I last wrote as well. Josh's Mom has visited twice since I last wrote and we always have fun with Sue. We got to spend our vacation with Josh's family in Pittsburgh and had a blast. I FINALLY Went to Kennywood. We also got to see the Zoo again and just got to enjoy visiting with everyone. We missed seeing Chuck that visit and Mandy was unable to come, but we'll get to see Mandy lots in a couple of months. She's moving to Michigan with her job. We're so excited to see her again. We'll also see Chuck and Family in November at Sue's retirement party in Pittsburgh. That will probably be my last trip of the year for many reasons, but the biggest one is below.



That's right, on June 25th I discovered that I was pregnant. As soon as the test turned positive I rushed downstairs to show Josh. We were shocked, happy but shocked. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about work and I'm still not sure we can afford it, but we are both very happy and looking forward to March 1st 2010! Both families are excited for the upcoming grandchild (the first on my side and 4th on Josh's).

Pregnancy has been nothing like I expected. The first couple of weeks were great with very little symptoms other than a little fatigue, then I hit my 8th week. That's when the all day nausea, vomiting and real fatigue started. Well not all day, mornings are good until about 10-11 am. That went on until this week (my 15th) where it's started to calm down a little. Evenings are still the worst, but they are getting better and I'm now keeping down all 3 of my meals instead of just 1 or 2, with some heartburn and indigestion. Josh seems to think that this means I'm having twins, I just think I got the short end of the symptom stick. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday where we'll be able to hear the heartbeat for the first time, that should be able to debunk Josh's twin theory. I may be getting an ultrasound this week as well, I'm not sure. If I do we will not be finding out the sex. We're going to keep it a surprise from everyone. I think it'll be more fun this way.

Yawn... well that's the big news. I'll be heading home in a couple of minutes and I'm ready for a nap. I'm going to try updating more this time. We'll see how it goes. Toodles!
