Summertime... and the livin is... not so easy. :)

I know... don't fall off your chair... it has been almost three months... but yes, I am blogging.

Please take my quiz....

Why have I sucked so bad at blogging lately??

A. I don't make dinner and can't keep up with the laundry and the dishes.... let alone my blog!
B. I come home from work every day and lay on the couch until it's time for bed, because I feel like puking my guts out!
C. I am always tired, I go to bed way too early, and I feel extremely lazy lately...
D. I am Pregnant!
E. All of the Above

Yep, you guessed it! All of the Above!! I promise, I am not ALWAYS that bad of a wife!! Jeff and I are expecting baby Wegener sometime on or around March 4th! We couldn't be more excited! Aside from the seemingly never-ending 24 hour morning sickness, everything seems to be progressing great! Although everyone keeps reminding me that it's usually a good sign if I am sick... that typically is a good indication that the baby is still doing well! So I guess if that's true, I'll take it. I am a few days shy of 13 weeks... which means I am officially past my first trimester. So with any luck, hopefully this nausea stuff will subside soon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! We finally got to hear the heartbeat last week which was so exciting and so crazy to think there is actually a little baby growing inside of me... it really made this whole pregnancy seem much more real for both of us.
Jeff has already been calling our baby "she"... so if that's not any indication of what he thinks we are having, I don't know what is! I think I have already become accustomed to the whole "she" thing, so if we find out we are having a boy, I think it might throw us both for a loop. But whatever the outcome...we will be thrilled either way, I'm just praying for a healthy baby!

Aside from our exciting news... I thought I'd give a quick recap of what we've been up to this summer. Oh wait... WHAT SUMMER??? :) Atleast that's how Jeff and I feel! We aren't sure where our summer disappeared to. We were both so excited it was finally here, and now it's over! How depressing! But here are a few pics anyway of some of the things we did...

I planted me some flowers.. and Jeff planted some bushes, to help spruce up our yard a little... I meant to take a picture a while ago of how good my flowers were looking... but now... half of them are dead. :( So you'll just have to take my word for it. They sure did look great… they tripled in size and amount!




Went with some friends to the movie "Iron Man" at Shenley Park. Would have loved to have gone to more movies... but unfortunately I just wasn't feeling up to it.
Spent a few days in Ohio visiting P and Taryn... they showed us around their home town and even took us to a fun little firework show for the fourth. We found out the night we got home I was pregnant... two days after they announced to us THEY were pregnant!

Jeff and I splurged a little and went to a few shows at the dollar theater! :) We decided that's the way to do it from now on... it's just hard to justify spending 20 bucks to go to a movie nowadays. Plus the dollar theater has like 10 different movies to choose from... how bad could it be, really. Not to mention I don't have to feel guilty if I end up falling asleep... and Jeff promised he wouldn't even get mad, just as long as I go with him!

I have sort of given up on taking pictures lately, I guess it goes along with everything else the past couple of months... so hopefully that will change soon too. We have had a few bbq's with lots of the dental students and even gotten together to do tin foil dinners with some friends.. all of which I failed to get any pictures of.

And other than that we have had a pretty low key summer. Jeff has fried his brains out from studying every waking minute of every waking day for the past month... actually make that the past 4 months. His summer semester of school was a killer.. and just when he finally got that over with, he had to start studying for boards.... which he takes tomorrow!!!!!!! I'm so glad he'll finally be getting a break from studying. I don't know which one of us is more excited, him or me. And I'm sure I could say the same about my morning sickness... I don't know which one of us is more excited for it to be over!!! Between the two of us lately, we have both been pretty pathetic! I guess we make quite the pair!

Hopefully this next month will bring a little more excitement to our lives. My little sister is getting married the end of September which means WE GET TO GO HOME!!!! I really CAN-- NOT wait! I'm ready for a break from work and more than ready to see my family!

Yesterday was Jeff's birthday and he was sure to inform me that we would not be celebrating because he would be studying all day. So, I made him chicken enchiladas (per his request) and Tapioca pudding for dessert (with two candles in it of course)... and that was the extent of his birthday celebration. That is cetainly NOT how I would choose to celebrate my birthday... poor Jeff. But I do want him to know that I am really proud of him and proud of his dedication to school. I know he gets burnt out, but somehow he finds the motivation and energy to keep on studying! He did AWESOME this last semester and I know he is going to do great on his boards tomorrow. Good luck Jeff, and Happy Birthday! I love your stinkin guts! :)
