1.Incase you missed it we are having a BOY!!! We are So super excited, honestly more excited than I can even fathom!
2. Still no names :( I want something unique and fitting and something I don't hear every day! Mike like family names and names you hear a lot... So I guess we are taking our sweet time, but we do have middle names picked and are for sure on the last name so that makes it seem a little less of a task :)
3. Fathers day seemed to be way harder this year than than the first year with out dad. I guess for me partly its being pregnant and all the other changes in life. The other part knowing that more than likely it would probably be the last with Papa Cates. So we took a last minute trip to Sandpoint to see Papa and stop by the cemetry to put flowers out.
4. Mom is offically moved (and has been for almost a month :) sorry I have had a lot going on), It was hard on everyone emotionally and physically.
5. Still dealing with workers comp been a long road but I think we are finally getting somewhere with them. Basically after a HUGE miscommunication which has since made my point with the company and is finally proving that I knew what I was entitled to the whole time. My hours will go back to 40 and I will be recieving back pay for the past 7 months, plus paid for milage for every dr.'s appointments over the last 7 months as well.
6. Baby is so active and although it's pretty inconvient in the middle of the night, I still enjoy every time I feel him move :) Mike on the other hand is still a little creeped out by it, but has felt him a few times.
7. I have to have surgery to remove my nerve stimulator (Ob said within the next 4 weeks 3 weeks ago, and we will see tomorrow what Neuro Surgeon says.) Kind of glad in some ways, but in others it freaks me out not to have it (since I was so miserable and hardly able to function before I had it.) I haven't really used it in a year an a half, but I do like to have the option.
8. We are going to look at a Duplex tomorrow evening not much more than we are paying now, but would be nice to get away from so many neighbors and have a yard (and I kinda don't enjoy the 3 flights of stairs, because of my foot of course not the fact that it is hard making it up them without being breatheless :).
9. I have so far cleaned and reorganized the Kitchen (Which Mike pulled everything out of the cabinets and wiped them down in side and out :) the bathroom and our bedroom. I still have the livingroom, storage closet and garage (which I fully expect not to get done till we move :) It feels so good to have that clean and organized feeling.
10. Can't believe Mike & I have been married almost a year. I can't imagine life any other way, When he is gone i don't even like to be home cause all I do is look at the clock, waiting as patiently as I possibly can :)
Bounus- Still doing the coupon clipping/ ad matching and saving lots of money. About a month ago Mike came to have lunch with me and we walked by the electronics department, there was a small table with lots of computers, laptops and screens. We have been wanting a computer for a long time and amazingly enough found one we could afford. It was an AMAZING deal so we could not walk away. It's an HP laptop normally runs about $800 and was the display model. We paid just $175 with tax :) (plus we bought one for Brodey for College as well his was normally $400 and was on sale with warranty never been opened for $150... So Brodey made his first step toward his college education with a slight nudge, but he was glad we bought it (his first paycheck at his new job paid for it :)
Bonus Bonus- Brodey like the coupon clipping / ad matching thing too. I still have a lot to show him, but he is liking the results so far :)
