The Economy Sucks

I found out yesterday that i am one of 5 people in our 16 person office that is being laid off.

Being 16 days away from my due date i had to keep a level head yesterday because i thought the shock of it all would send me into labor!

Still pregnant and hanging in there. I wish we could afford for me to stay home but it isn't feasible and i think that sucks.

Please think good thoughts for me as i start to look for something new to start in January after a few weeks of leave at home with the new baby!

Happy October!

I love October. It used to signal the start of Fall, changing leaves and school time. Since i live in an area that doesn't really get all 4 seasons its not quite the same as when i was growing up. Especially today where the high temperature will be 101 degrees. Only 2 or 3 above normal for this time of year. Ick.
The only good part about October in the Southwest is that come Halloween you don't have to worry about the kids freezing in their costumes because by the end of the month i bet we will still be in the mid 80's.
In baby news it's 3 weeks or less until D day and i'm really hoping that after my check up tomorrow my Doc will tell me something wonderful like - Oh yeah this one will definitely be early...
For the sake of my back and my dear hubby having to listen to me snore recently i hope this baby is earlier than later!!!

32 Days and Counting

E's new bed and dresser have arrived and will be delivered in 2 weeks. I am so anxious to get it in the house and built (bunk beds!) so that we can turn his room back to a nursery. I am 90% ready for this new baby. I've got the dreft and the diapers just need to get E into one room so i can stock the baby room up.
It's hard to believe it is already going to be October. I feel like this year has flown by!

In need of a nap

It's only Tuesday and I'm already wiped out! I guess that can happen when you are being kicked from the inside out non stop.

We decided on a baby name finally, which is a huge relief. We just haven't told too many people yet. 39 days and counting. I really hope this baby decides to come a few days early ;)

Can you see the Dolphin Jumping? And the Person they pushed off their nose?

This is Cool - Pink Ribbon Tour

So as i was driving to work this morning i heard about something really cool on the radio and wanted to share.

www.pinkribbontour.com

Dave Graybill, a firefighter with the Glendale Arizona Fire Department came up with the idea for the Pink Ribbon Tour after talking with his friend and fellow firefighter Wally Monsivaiz in Las Cruces, New Mexcio.

If you go to the website you will see a map of all the cities across they are visiting with their PINK firetruck and huge ribbon statue to help raise awareness about breast cancer. Dave bought an old firetruck and had it wrapped in pink.

It is so nice to see that there are still people in this country who believe they can make a difference.

So if you see a pink fire truck roll through your town stop and say hi!

August Babies Are The Best

Ok so i may be a little biased seeing I am an August baby myself. I just wanted to say congrats to Dina and Amy for their new respective arrivals in the last 4 days.
Maybe i'm a little more baby crazed lately since i'm pregnant and all!
