This week has been a hectic one. We have met with two Realtors this week. We have two good ones we talked to and have to try and decide which one to go with. We really liked both of them. I have an appointment with the bank on Friday to talk about loans and to pre-qualify for a loan. I hope to learn more about the different types of loans available to us and how much house we will be able to afford. This all makes me nervous. This is a big deal! I am making sense out of it all by studying up on it all. I have 2 books that I am reading. One from a co-worker and one that I bought. They are both very helpful so I am feeling better about it all. It will really hit me when we go out on showings. Thinking about it makes my tummy tumble.
We are off to my friend Jen's wedding this weekend. Jen and I have been friends since the third grade. We haven't been that close as of late but I love her to death and I am anxious to meet her husband. The first time I will meet him will be on Friday. We are staying with the outlaws for the rest of the weekend since there house is only 5 miles from the reception hall.
Other than that trying to keep exercising and figuring out if I limp more or less with my knee brace on.

DOGS!!!!!
We went to the farm this weekend to visit. Jackson wasn't too sure about Daisy but we did get some pictures of them together.
Dirty Dan & his Dangerous Dogs
Aren't we the cutest pups ever?
Tired from a long day of playing

Look Right
I have changed the sidebar of my blog a little bit today. I changed my blogroll to Current Faves and The Old Standbys. Just because sometimes you need to shake things up. I have added a few links. Some are links that I used to post on here about fertility issues and such. I weened down the list of infertility websites that I read to two of my faves who are now Mama's. They are very entertaining and worth the read.
The link that I added is for the writer's blog for Grey's Anatomy. I am ABSOLUTELY in love with this show. I cannot rave enough about this show. I drive Josh crazy talking about the show all the time. I found this link via another blog that I read. The writers post after each episode. They often post about what inspired them to write that story line or why the characters did or said certain things. Definitely a good stop for a person as obsessed as I am!

Welcome to the family!
There have been two unexpected additions to our "family" in the past week. One was expected but not so soon, where the other came out of no where. First off, my parents adopted a dog last week. This is surprising because we were always told that when the dogs that they owned had gone to doggy heaven that they were done. We all knew that this wasn't true because of the way that she fell in love with our little Jackson. She loves to play "go fetch" and makes him cock his head from side to side so that he looks like he is intently listening to you.
We were up in Clintonville seeing my sisters new house and hanging out with the family. We went to the city pound (Brad's group is in charge of care for the animals) to see the cute puppy that Brad was talking about. I think that it was love at first sight for Danny. He loved that dog! She is a cutie! We stole the dog away to the house to meet mom. Mom was guilted into saying that Danny could adopt the dog. So little Daisy is now at the farm raising hell.
The second addition came a little sooner than expected. My friend Heidi was pregnant and due at the end of the month. Betsy's birthday to be exact! I received a phone call Saturday night while I was in the dells for a bachelorette party (another post all together). It was Mitch (Heidi's husband), the message on my voicemail was all scratchy with no voice. So I left the bar and headed outside to call back. I was informed that Heidi was in labor and if I could please come as soon as possible they would like me to tape the birth. We were waiting for the cab to come and take us to another location which was across the street from where we were parked. I ran to the car and called Mitch said I am in the car I am about and hour and a half away, I was gonna stop at home to change clothes and grab overnight stuff and head out. By the time I got home she had already had the baby.
According to both Mitch and Heidi the baby pretty much just fell out. Her labor started at 10:05 at 11pm they called the doctor, she said come in and get checked out. She was at 4 cm and they sent her up to be admitted to her birthing suite. When she got settled in (15-20minutes later) they checked her cervix and she was 5.5 cm. At about 12:30 the anesthesiologist was ordered for the epidural. The anesthesiologist walked out the room at ~12:41, Heidi rolled onto her back at 12:42, baby popped out at 12:43. No big push, baby just came out. The anesthesiologist walked in a few minutes later and took out the epidural. The drugs didn't kick in until after she gave birth. The only people in the room when it happened were Mitch and the nurse. No doctor, nothing.
