A wonderful thing happened today. I got a membership at Planet Fitness ($10 a month? Really?) and it really feels fabulous! (See how I used both words of my title in one little paragraph? Genius right.)
I have just been feeling so blah lately. And lets not forget that the doctor things I am gaining too much weight yada yada yada. He said I should only be gaining about 2 lbs a month. Well. Let. Me. Tell. You. Its harder than it seems! I am hungry all the time and if I don't eat, I get light headed/dizzy/shaky. Now I realize the solution seems so obvious. Eat small meals or snacks throughout the day. I do this for the most part AND I even eat healthy, for the most part.
I just like ice cream... and its the only thing I have actually craved. There I said it; I am admitting the horrible awful truth.
So lets hope the movement helps! Oh and I did mention that I weighed myself and haven't gained anything this month yet!! That is truly a miracle. I just spent the weekend eating out every meal in Duluth and I forget about the fact that I eat less and get instantly full. Thank you baby for keeping me accountable with my appetite. :)
On another happy note (besides that little rant), I had most of today off!! Ohhh how I needed this time off. I worked for a couple of hours this morning and now there are only 2 days left...
So. Things to look forward to - wedding on Friday, weekend, exercising (I've missed it! It's true!). Woo hoo!

We are having a...
Look at that beauty.
I even had the nurse check twice since I was so sure it was a boy.
Heartbeat.
The whole time she was moving and squirming around. We watched as she practically sucked her little thumb. So sweet!
So what do you think? Does she look like a Deyle or a Caron?
I hope she doesn't look alien-like... She just wasn't cooperating enough to get a good profile shot.
We are so excited to start planning for a little baby girl!
Last big surprise: The name! Our little girl will be called Josephine (Josie) Grace. Cannot wait to meet her in just a few months!

What were you doing at 4:45 AM?
Well, my hubby and I were trying to coerce our dog to come up the stairs from the backyard to come inside and go back to bed. WHAT IN THE WORLD??
Yesterday, before I got home, Mike had let Buckley out and he would not come back in. He just stood at the bottom of the stairs and waited. So when Mike said "come on, lets go inside" he'd take one step up and two steps backwards. Finally Mike went down there and tried to pick him up. At this point it appears that Buckley thinks the steps are slippery and he doesn't want to attempt them.
There must be more to it because when Mike picked him up Buckley showed some serious teeth. I don't know how many of you have met this lovely pup we have but he's not that kind of dog. He'll growl a bit to strangers but that only lasts for a while. So Mike scolded him.
See here's the thing. When I scold him, he is all humble and sweet and we make up and move on. But when Mike does, Buckley is scared of him for the rest of the day and keeps his tail between his legs. I really hate the man that made him this fearful! (Sidenote: we got Buckley from 4 Luv of Dogs, and he was not in a good home at all before he was abandoned.) So of course he acted like this all last night.
Back to 4:45 AM. WHY ARE WE UP AND STANDING OUTSIDE. He would not come in! Mike finally had to put a leash on him and practically drag him up. Oh, this was after hewoke the whole neighborhood up chipped at this ice for 10 minutes hoping it would help.
But it gets worse. So now that we've been up for about a half hour, we finally get him back into the bedroom and tucked in his bed. And then he whines. For like 45 min. I tried to get him to stand up and he couldn't do it! So here he is... all pathetic like, unable to stand up, and we are mad and tired and just want to sleep.
I guess he hurt his back somehow.. he winces pretty bad if we touch his back in a certain spot, but he needs our help standing up. He's so pathetic I can hardly stand it! Those big eyes looking at me like "Sorry but I can't go anywhere"... its breakin my little heart!
Have you heard of dogs throwing their backs out?
Just in case you forgot what he looks like.
This picture was taken before we were living in the whole house... so excuse the mess behind them. Also, excuse Mike's cheesy smile. :) Aren't they cute?
