Here are the ultrasound pictures from monday... this first one, the baby is sucking its thumb. This one, the baby has its head kinda between its legs like it's mooning the camera :)
Here my little bambino is doing flips!
This one, it's being good and resting :)

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Our computer decided to be a poohead and freeze everytime we turned it on and finally I think I fixed it. Computers are so weird! Anyways, things are going good. We had a bit of a scare last Thursday, Pat had to take me to the ER, but luckly the baby is ok and I just spent the whole weekend on bedrest and I'm not allowed to lift very much for the rest of the pregnancy. As soon as this blog thingy will allow me to download a picture, I will post a new ultrasound pic on here also.

Right now I'm just sitting here waiting on Patrick to get home, then tonight I get to clean the kitchen (yay).

Also, so all you Ohio people know if I haven't already told you, I will be home the second weekend in October. It's saurkraut festival weekend and I can't miss that!!! Pregnant and give up the kraut fest?!?!?! I dunno if the baby is going to like saurkraut too much, but we'll find out!

OK, well I better get going and cook dinner!

Well, I felt the baby move tonight!!! I've been feeling it, but I just realized what it really is... it's almost like a fluttering movement. It's so weird! Anyways, our trip the Cape Cod was really nice. We spent a day in Plymoth and we saw plymoth rock and the replica of the Mayflower. Unfortunatly, the water was too cold to go swimming but it was still very nice. Too bad, I had to go back to work on Tuesday. But tomorrow is already Friday!!! And I think it's time to go eat ice cream!
Toodles!

Wow, I'm slacking on this updating thing... I've been really busy between work, trying to clean, cook, do laundry, and doctor's appointments! Patrick and I are taking somewhat of a honeymoon this weekend up to Cape Cod. His aunt runs a bed and breakfast there so we're going to go and stay there with her. There seems to be a fair amount of stuff to do up there so we'll keep busy. Anyways, I'll update again after this weekend.
Toodles!

Baby's First Picture!!! I had to get an ultrasound today (everything is ok, I just wasn't feeling well) but the baby is doing great and I got to hear the heart beat! It was the coolest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing to really update on... still pregnant. I have my first doctor's appointment on the 30th and then I go for my first ultrasound on September 7. It's so weird though, my belly is getting harder everyday! And I'm already gaining weight. It's all pretty cool, that's all I know.

I've been working on planning a bridal shower for my sister-in-law with Pat's mom. Work is going good, getting a little easier everyday.

I went home to Ohio last weekend. It felt so good to be home and see everyone. I just wish I would of had more time there. I was so upset though, Mom went to drop me off at Softrock Saturday night and I got sick (damn morning/afternoon/evening sickness!!!!). So then she took me home but at least I got to see my friends Friday night.

Alicia passed her nursing boards! I'm so proud of her! I know she would pass, she was scared she wouldn't, but I knew she would. She doesn't give herself enough credit.

Chewie is doing good. I think he can tell something is going on. He's become more attached to me, almost more protective. He follows me EVERYWHERE! I'm just hoping that he calms down enough for us to be able to keep him. As of right now, he's too hyperactive and too snippy to have around a baby, he really would hurt a baby(not on purpose). I don't want to get rid of him, that would break my heart. If I do though, it gonna have to be someone I know, that has a fenced in yard and no little kids. I just have this deep down feeling that tells me he's not going to calm down and I dread the day that I have to face that. This damn dog has become like my only friend here in Connecticut and has been a true companion. I dunno what to do. This has been ripping me apart since I found out that I am having a baby. He's such a loveable dog that means well and just doesn't know any better.

OK, well I guess I better go, I'll try to update again soon.

WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!

yup, it's true... Patrick and I have expecting our first child the begining of April! More details to come when I get them!

Wedding Pics

Here's a couple pictures from our wedding. I'll post more later.

Well, I woke up this morning feeling like poo so I called off of work today. Of corse, I'm feeling better now and I could go into work, but I also could get stuff done that I need to do. I need to go get dog food and go to the grocery. I also need to clean and do laundry.

My damn cell phone broke and of corse it's still under my mom's name so I can't take it to get it fixed so my mom is trying to get things squared away to where I can get a new one or get mine fixed up here.

Chewie decided to eat my peanut butter off a plate withj crackers a little bit ago... the little poophead loves peanut butter! Crazy dog!

Well yesterday was a better day at work than Monday. Hopefully today will be just as good. Anyways, I thought I would post a picture of Chewie. I'll try to post again this evening.

It was a manic monday...

Well, the lady who has been training me at work called off today so I was by myself. Luckly I managed to get all my work done along with her work that I could do. But the resident doctors were pissed cause I couldn't get onto the main computer system since I've not gone through my training classes.... I was like "duh... it's a tad bit illegal for me to get on there without the proper training!" They've fired people for getting into the system if they don't have a log in name and password which I don't have. It wasn't my fault and I was getting yelled at today! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Oh well, tomorrow will be better (as long as my co-worker comes in).

Anyways, Mom and Dad came up for the weekend. It was so nice to see them, I just wish they could of stayed longer. But we went deep sea fishing, and Mom and I went shopping! It was definetly too short of a weekend :(

Now I'm just sitting here waiting on Pat so we can go to the pet store. One of my fish died so I want to go get another. OK well, I'll post again soon!

Geez, welcome to the real world of being married. Cook, clean, do laundry... that seems like all I do!! I've been busting my ass cleaning for the past couple hours trying to get the house spotless. My parents are on their way here from Ohio so I want the house looking squeeky clean for them. I still need to mop the kitchen floor, vaccum our room and hallway, and I think thats about it! But I just scrubbed the bathroom so I'm taking a break. SHIT! I forgot to clean the toliet! Oh well, I'll get it after I finish this.
Anyways, I finally found a picture of me and Patrick to post on here so, this one is of us at Softrock one night. As soon as I can get some wedding pictures on my computer, I'll post them too! Well I better get back to cleaning!

YAY!!!

I'm so happy and excited! I'm coming home in 2 weeks! Even though it's just for the weekend, I'm still coming home to Ohio! I can't wait, I've not been home since the wedding so it's gonna be nice to see everyone and to be able to go to Softrock! Lord, I miss that place! I never thought I would say that about a bar, but I do miss it, well actully, I miss the people. And I get to see my Boro friends! So I'll be home friday Aug 5! Ok well I need to go to bed, I'll talk to you all soon!!!

AIM virus

Does anyone know how to stop that damn AIM virus that's hitting all of our computers?????? If so, please tell me cause Norton stops it from infecting my computer with it, but it other people IM's keep sending it back to me. It's like going through all of Boro AIM users computers. Please either leave me a comment on how to stop it or email me JLCarolus@hotmail.com.

Anyways, I went to the doctor today for my wrist. I've got a damn ganglion cyst on my wrist and now I have to go to an orthopedic surgion. And to make matters worse, it's on my right hand!!! Why can't I be left handed?!?!?!?

Well, I'll post again soon.

Toodles!!!

Chewie!!!

This is a "before" picture of Chewie. This was taken the day before I adopted him from the humane society. His hair is now 4 inches shorter and he looks about 10 pounds skinner, but it'll give you guys an idea of what he looks like.

I would call this a lazy Sunday but for the past couple hours Pat and I have been cleaning machines trying to prepare our extra room for my parents next weekend. I'm so excited! I've not seen my parents since May 30!

Didn't really do much today, woke up at 10:30, went to church, then went to Barnes & Nobles. Since then we've been CLEANING! I finally decided to take a break.

Yummy... Patrick is watching a show about BBQ ribs... ahhhhh!!! Now I want ribs for dinner, but we're having steak so thats just as good. You all would be so proud of me, I've actully been cooking a fair amount of food that I never even thought I would ever cook. I'm past fixing mac & cheese, or grilled cheese as my only two meals!

I'll try to post more pictures soon!!!

Entry #1

Well I decided that I'm done with diaryland... it's being a poohead. Plus I'm bored and it gives me something to do. Things are still going well here in Connecticut. My job is getting better. I think it's still weird working at Yale. I eat lunch out in a courtyard with all the "Yalies". The campus is so beautiful though. All the old buildings. They remind of buildings you would see in Europe.

I gave my dog a bath tonight for the first time. It was funny as hell. He jumped out of the tub soaking wet and ran into our room and up onto the bed. Then took off out into the family room and hid behind the couch. Patrick had to get him to come out. He was scared of me... of corse he already forgot about it. He was running around and playing a couple minutes later.

This weekend is a lazy weekend. I've done something to my wrist (I wish I knew what). I'm not sure if I've got a cyst growing in it or somehow I've sprained it.But I've got a lump on it that really hurts, I can barly bend it, and my damn fingers are numb half the time. AND on top of that I had a migraine all afternoon and slept from 1:00- 7:30 so now I'm wide awake.

OK well, I'll try to post regularly to keep everyone updated. Toodles!!!
