Can you believe that I am all alone (well, Amelia is asleep at the moment) for the first time in a lllooonnnggg time? Yeah, it's so freaking nice. Greg had to run into work for about an hour and his Mom and brother Ken are out and about; so it's just me and Flickr. I love Flickr; though we're having a 'fight' at the moment (won't let me do a mass upload so I have to upload every single picture manually).
This weekend was fast and Great!
I honestly don't remember what happened on Friday after work...
Saturday was a busy day! Greg and I headed down to Waldorf at 1pm and the drive was probably one of the most scariest drives I've ever driven only because there were so many accidents that happened on 95 and 495, one of which I witnessed as it happened right behind me and freaked me out. This accident occurred on 495 and I am going to assume the funeral procession that was going on the opposite side of 495 distracted someone because the next thing I saw was a cloud of dust and then this blue car spinning all over the place in the middle of 495; it was like a scene out of a movie. I had such an adrenaline rush watching it and I nearly stopped to get out of the car to help (First Responder classes kicking in) but I didn't want to risk getting hit myself since I was sure it would have been a multi car accident.
We finally made it to Waldorf around 2:30 and met Mom at The Buffet where Amelia was waiting for us. Greg and I were in such a shock when we saw Amelia because Mom had her all dressed in jeans and a cute top and 2 little pig tails in her hair!! Amelia looked so much older than 7 months; it totally freaked Greg and I. We were like, 'where's our little girl?'.
After lunch, we headed over to April's and hung out for about an hour and on the way home, my girlfriend Michele called because she was in town (she lives in Hagerstown) and wanted to get together. We ended up meeting her at the Wal-Mart at Arundel Mills Mall since Greg and I had to get some diapers and we wanted to look at some condo things. It was nice to see Michele, I haven't seen her since March.
It was about 8pm when Greg and I made it home and Amelia didn't go to bed until 9!
Today, Sunday, Greg and I hung out at the apartment for a while; delaying the inevitable: Greg going to work on a Sunday. We finally left a little after 2pm, drove by his job and there were too many people there, so we went to Giant to get some more juice and cookies (damn cycle made me eat the rest of the Chips Ahoy!) and then to Staples where we bought a receipt book for the babysitter (in order to get my money back, I need the babysitters signature as proof of payment) and then to Target. I was surprised Greg and I only spent $50 at Target; I was expecting our total to me much higher since we picked up a huge box of Pampers, wipes, bottles, nipples, and other small items for Amelia. But, I'm not complaining.
Well, to conclude this entry, please enjoy this clip of Amelia eating her Peas and Toes for dinner last night:

So Much Going On!
Wow, this weekend went by way too fast!
Friday night, Pat (Greg's middle brother) left for the military. Greg and Ken (Greg's youngest brother) stayed up until 2am with Pat helping him pack and just hanging out together (I slept). Pat is going to be gone for a little over a year. Greg wrote this really nice letter to Pat to read and keep around. Greg let me read it and he asked for my opinion and such. It was really sweet and it came from Greg's heart.
On Saturday, Greg and I head down to Nanjemoy to visit Amelia (because we are really missing her) and my Cousin April who just had her baby girl, Olivia. On the way down, just before we reached 495, Van calls to tell me that Mom's car broke down (with Amelia in it) on one of the back roads and she has no cell reception (Now, you may be wondering how we found out about the car; well a stranger stopped and helped Momma and Momma was able to use the strangers cell phone to call for police and to call Van). Greg and I were still about an hour away when we received the phone call; so I called Sean, who was on his way down as well, to see if he was any closer but he wasn't. We were pretty much neck and neck with each other, even though he was taking 301 down and I was taking 495 to 5. It was a little before 2pm by the time we make it to the area that Mom broke down, but Sean and I couldn't find her! We don't know the back roads as well as Mom and Van and I was getting worried about the safety of Mom and Amelia. Finally, Mom calls me from her home to tell me that the police guy took her home and that the car was towed there as well. Now, here's what happened to Mom's car: THE ENTIRE WHEEL/TIRE FELL COMPLETELY OFF THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION! She didn't have a flat tire; the whole tire, rim, everything came off. Yeah, I know. How the hell does a tire fall off a car? We're still baffled ourselves. But, Mom and Amelia are safe and unharmed and that's all that matters. By the time I make it to Mom's house, it's nearly 2:30. Greg and I walk in to find Amelia fast asleep, to our disappointment. I wanted to hold her, hug her, and play with her! I let her sleep a little more (like 5 minutes) and decided to wake her. She wasn't too happy about that, in the beginning, but within a few minutes she was all smiles and laughing! Oh, I missed her so much!! As did Greg. She looked taller too. I swear she's going to be all legs when she gets older. Sean arrived a few minutes after Greg and I and we hung out while waiting for the visiting hours to resume at the hospital (they don't allow visitors from 2-4). I believe it was about 5pm when we all arrived at the hospital and met Olivia. Poor Greg, he had to wait in the waiting room with Amelia because the hospital wouldn't allow anyone under 13 to visit patients unless it was direct kin or something. We stayed about an hour and headed off to the store to get more formula for Mom and then headed home where we had a great meal cooked on the grill.
Amelia is eating a lot better now a days! She's learned how to eat off a spoon and really enjoys the new variety! She nearly ate all the sweet potatoes I fed her on Saturday night! So far, she doesn't like Peas and Apples.
Sunday was a pretty lazy day. I woke up before 8am and took care of Amelia while Greg slept in a little longer (yep, Greg and I spent the night at my Moms and slept on a very uncomfortable sofa bed). Not too long after, Mom came out into the living room and we just chatted and what not. Greg woke up around 9:30 and we all chatted and played with Amelia until she fell asleep (which she was so resisting to do) on me. Greg took a lot of pictures of all the Hummingbirds, Finches, and critters around Mom's over the weekend; which he's placed on his Flickr account. Greg is really starting to take some amazing pictures. I'll post a few of my favorite later...
Greg and I left Mom's a little after 4pm and as soon as we reached Waldorf, we were in a severe thunder storm! The rain was insane, it was blowing in all directions and the thunder was amazing; at times, the thunder was so loud, the car vibrated so much it felt like something was coming out of the ground! It was cool and scary at the same time. By the time we reached 5, it was all over. The drive home was uneventful (aside from the storm). We reach Super Fresh around 6, pick up a few items for the week (lunch and dinner) and we're home by 7. Nothing exciting happened after that. Greg and I went to bed pretty early since neither of us slept well at Moms and that was it.
Today, Greg and I are going to meet up during the lunch hour and open up our joint account. Greg has had it with his current bank; all they do is tick him off now a days. He's so happy to be getting rid of them.
The Condo Guy sent me an email over the weekend with a copy of the lease we signed and the check has cleared, so things are looking good for our move next week!! I'm starting to get excited, again, but I am still a little hesitant of the excitement (for fear of what happened last time). Last night, Greg and I started to talk about things that we need (not want) for the condo. Tonight, we're going to make a list. This morning, I was thinking about Amelia's room and thought that I might need a changing table for her; since I've always changed her on the bed but now that she'll have her own room... And, Greg and I are thinking fo things we'll need for the bathrooms and kitchen and so much more! I wish I didn't have to pay this stupid deductable because we would have so much extra money to buy everything that we need without a second thought. Another thought that I've been having is our housewarming party and who to invite! There are so many people that I want to invite, but Greg wants to keep it low-key. We'll see what happens...
This week feels good; or maybe today does. I don't know, but in any case I've got that 'good things are going to happen' feeling in my stomach. Who knows, maybe my car is ready and I can get it back (I really dislike the Cobalt; the speakers suck). Who knows, but I am enjoying this feeling for the moment.

All-In-One
My cousin sent the following email:
"Well, I just wanted to shoot everyone an email since today is my due date and I'm still carrying my little one around in my belly!! If she doesn't come by then, Friday August 3 at 6:00am I go to civista to be induced. I'm hoping she'll come on her own, but excited to finally have a day!! As of friday I'm dilated 2cm maybe more by now, hopefully. My last day of work will probably be tomorrow or half a day wednesday 8/1 you can email me at home at ******33@yahoo.com since I won't be able to check this email from home. :) Feel free to come by the house or hospital, I hope you do, my cell number (for those who don't have it) is 301-***-**** and the home number is 301-***-****. Well hope to talk talk/see all of you soon!
Love you!!"
Yay! I'm so excited!! I hope she has her baby by this weekend, because Greg and I are going down to Mom's to visit Amelia (since my Mom is going to watch her for an extra week so Greg and I can save more money for the move) and to give Mom a break from watching her.
Greg has taken 2 days off of work, the 16th and 17th of August, for the move. I've only taken the 16th off since I missed two days last week. Oy! Can't believe we finally found a place and that Greg and I will have our own place in two weeks. It's exciting and scary at the same time. Who would have thought that nearly 2 years, to the date (Aug 20, 2005 is when we first met), after Greg and I met that we would have a baby and be living together, much less talking about marriage. It's almost a fairy tale story; sorta. LOL
I read an interesting article on Y! about men's fighting style for relationships. I sent Greg the article and told him which two styles I think he falls under. It's definitly something worth talking about with your significant other.
Well, I've actually been working today; believe it or not! I started this post nearly 3 hours ago and I'm just about to end it. I've become slightly bored with the internet these last few weeks. There just isn't anything to hook myself into anymore. I've thought about bringing a book to work or maybe start knitting again. Just something else than waiting for something exciting to happen on the interwebnet.

Weekend in Review
This weekend was uneventful, at the most.
Saturday, Greg and I signed the lease at the condo and put a deposit down on the place. We looked at the bathrooms, since they are being completely re-done, and they look great! The only downside to the new bathrooms is that Greg and I can't do the theme that we wanted to do, which was a tropical theme. The tile work is a dark brown and just wouldn't work. But, aside from this, Greg and I are excited about the condo, though not trying to get too excited (since we were crushed before).
After we signed the lease, we stopped by the townhouse to get a few things and to help clean it out (though we didn't do a lot of cleaning).
The rest of Saturday was pretty uneventful.
Sunday was pretty much the same, minus the signing of the lease and visiting the townhouse. Although, we did do a little window shopping in Target. We didn't make it past the kitchen items. I was trying to sign up with Target, like create a wedding registry, but Greg wouldn't let me. He felt that we could get in trouble. LOL, yeah, like no one else has every done that before (create a fake registry).
So, yeah. This weekend was pretty dull.

Monday - Finally!!
Wow, that was one slow yet fast weekend!
Saturday was my 10 year high school reunion and I completely forgot about it. At least I didn't buy tickets. Yet, I still can't believe I forgot all about it. Oh well, apparently there was a good turn out and they plan on hosting another in 5 years.
Sunday, was a long day. Greg and I didn't even leave the apartment until 1:30. Greg had a nasty headache and wasn't motivated to do anything and I don't blame him. So, we arrive at the townhouse around 2 and begin the clean. I swept the floors and Greg, more or less, picked up trash and kept Amelia occupied. Then, I tackled the kitchen, which was the worse of all rooms; and by 4pm, I had made significant headway, You could see the counter tops! In fact, I had cleaned the counter tops, stove top (Greg cooked spaghetti one night last week and made a complete mess), and the refrigerator. Yeah, and it nearly took me an hour to do all that. Sean and Aaron didn't arrive until 3:30ish and by then Greg and I were ready to go, we wanted to go to Costco's before they closed (since they have the worst business hours on the weekend).
Greg and I did rather well, shopping wise, at Costco's. Plus, it helped that we had a lot of coupons to use; we saved $15!! We got all the items we went for and a few extras (shampoo and toothbrushes). All in all, I spent $57. I think I did well.
After Costco's, we headed 'home' (a.k.a. Greg's Room). Pat was there, to our surprise, so it was a full house! Amelia went to bed around 7pm and then we just hung out for the rest of the night. Around 10:30, Greg and I head to our room to chat and play a little DD.
Mom called yesterday afternoon and told me that she's heading out to the Grand Canyon. I asked what hotel they're staying at and she said the Stratosphere and is having a great time! I can't wait to see the pictures. Also, I'm envious that she's actually on a trip! It's been nearly 10 years (Aug 1998) since I've been on an airplane and went on an actual vacation. Greg says we're going to take a vacation as soon as we find a place to live. I'm crossing my fingers that day happens soon.
It's a little weird staying with Greg's family. I know these people are going to be my future in-laws (mother-in law and brothers-in law), but it's still weird. But, I am thankful that I get along with all of them and they seem to like me. Greg's Mom came into our room yesterday afternoon as I was laying on the bed with Amelia, with an arms full of lotions and perfumes that she's received over the years as gifts. She gave them all to me. Some of them are expensive lotions (such as Mary-Kay), but there is more than I'll ever use, much less need. So, when I see Mom, I'm going to give her some.
Also, adjusting to another bed is wreaking havoc on my body. Granted, the bed is huge (a king) and extremely comfortable; but my body is used to the broken mattress that I've slept on for nearly 5 years. My body isn't used to this luxury! And, apparently, nor is Greg. His poor shoulders and neck have been bothering. For the last two nights, I have been able to 'pop' his back when I kneed into it, to which he says helped a lot. I then suggest he visit a chiropractor, since I am considering returning to the one I used to see, Dr. Todd Fare, since my shoulder and hip are acting up again (though more the shoulder and the hip is something different than what it used to be; I think giving birth to Amelia pushed the joint out of socket a little).
Greg just called me (11:25am) because he's bored (he's working from a different shop today) and he's done all his work. So, I suggested a few things for him to do, since he doesn't have Internet access; 1. Think of ways to propose to me; 2. Think of places that we can now travel to on the weekends; 3. Think of ways to propose to me.
Yeah, he's going to think of a place that we can go this weekend. I suggested another State Park, the reason being that earlier this year when Greg and I went to Catocin State Park and Cunningham Falls, we decided that every month we were going to visit a different state park; we haven't been to a park since April.
Well, I am going to work on my other post (my Memory Book for Amelia; going to share the photo's I selected to create pages for - to get an opinion and any suggestions from anyone out there).
Here's to a new week in a new place!

Weekend Update: Sunday
Sunday was just as uneventful as Saturday. It was great!
Greg woke up with a pretty bad headache, so I let him sleep in while I took care of Amelia.
Around noon, Greg and I head out to Target to buy Amelia clothes, since she's pretty much grown out of everything. Target had a pretty good selection, surprisingly, and I bought about 6 new outfits for Amelia. Every outfit was less than $10. Nice. While at Target, we looked at bedding items and bathroom items. As well as PSP Games and such. I also picked up paper towels since Sean and Aaron stated they were going to start packing and such.
After Target we went over to Game Stop to exchange a game I bought for the DS, Monkey Ball, but I left it at home. D'oh! But, we browsed while there.
After Game Stop, we drove around Ordnance Rd until it turned into Ft. Smallwood. I've never driven this road before, it was kinda interesting to see all the old businesses and such. The purpose fo this drive was to figure out where to eat for lunch. I had suggested 'ChopStix' in Pasadena since Greg said he wanted to visit a place we've never been to. When we got to the resturant, we decided not to go. In the end, we ended up at Texas Roadhouse. It was weird being there during the afternoon; it was so quiet! Everything was good except for the ribs that I ordered. They were so freaking dry! I had them taken back and a new set came out. They were better, and that is all I would say to the manager.
After lunch, we head back to the townhouse and Sean and Aaron have indeed started packing their stuff! I was shocked! Greg changes and feeds Amelia while I look at the pile of clean clothes and start to sort the items. Then, Greg gets the other load out of the dryer for me and I just stare at the large pile. I really dislike putting clothes away, just as I hate putting dishes away from the dishwasher. Those two are the only things I dislike about cleaning.
Around 4:20, Greg leaves for home and it's just me and Amelia. She sleeps until 5pm and while she slept I played my Loco Roco when I should have been putting the clothes away.
So, the rest of Sunday night was uneventful and just spent chilling at home.
Greg woke up with a pretty bad headache, so I let him sleep in while I took care of Amelia.

-no title-
I'm just not feeling it today.
I can't remember what Greg and I did, if anything, this past Friday.
On Saturday, we got up kinda early and went to check out a place and didn't like it one bit. They check your driving record, school records and so much more! Sheesh. After we checked that place out, we went to Target and did a little shopping. We bought Amelia her high chair; it's a chair that we can attach to any chair and converts to a booster seat when she's older. I bought my swimsuit, and a gift for my Cousin April. While we were at Target, we received so much attention due to Amelia and her amazing amount of hair! People were stopping in their tracks to look at her and tell Greg and me how beautiful she is and "Look at that head of hair!" Also, we found a gym thing that we want to get Amelia. It's Fisher-Price's Rain forest theme, which is what we're going for, and it is on springs so Amelia and jump up and down and such. We put her in the store model and she actually liked it! So, once Greg and I find a place to live, we're going to buy that gym thing. After Target, we went to Friendly's and had lunch and then headed home where we put the highchair together and tested it out on Amelia. She looked so small in it. Greg took pictures, I just haven't uploaded them, yet. Then, after that, we took a nap. Naps are something Greg and I usually don't do. The last time we took a nap in the late afternoon was when we went to the JSOH Airshow. The nap was short, but refreshing. Greg and I didn't do much for the rest of the day or night.
On Sunday, we headed down to Waldorf for my Cousin April's baby shower. April's gift opening took over two hours! She received so many items! Greg and I took pictures, but I did all the picture taking with Aprils camera. We played games and good times were had by all. Greg won one of the games! He won a purse that had Victoria's Secret fragrances inside. Of course, Greg gave me the purse and items. It was funny though. Greg and I left about a quarter to four and headed home. Once we reached 97, I asked if he wanted to stop by the airport park since the planes were taking off over the park and he said sure. Personally, I wanted to go because I've never seen planes take off from that view. Greg and I hung out there for about 20 minutes then we headed over to my old car to clean it out. Basically, I only took the items that I needed or wanted; the rest of the stuff I left since the car was going to be junked anyway. Some of the things I left in the car were my wedding pictures. I didn't have any prefessional pictures taken or anything, mind you, so it's not like I spent hundreds of dollars on these pictures. But, I didn't see any reason to hold on to them. Besides, they have been in the trunk of my car for at least two years and I haven't done anything with them. It was weird looking at myself from nearly four years ago (Adam and I married on Aug 8, 2003). I've changed a lot, physically, mentally, and emotionall, since then and I didn't see any reason to keeping the pictures. But, now that I think about it, I would like to go back and see if I can save some pictures that have my Aunt in them or Munner and Pop, all of whom are no longer here. That chapter closed; moving onto a new.
Oh, by the way, I am probably going to file my divorce papers this week; the day Greg and I are going to take off to look and file applications to a few places.
Oh, my Mom has Amelia for the week. Mom asked Greg and I on Saturday morning if she could take her after the babyshower and I told her that Greg and I would have to talk about it. The reason being is because 1. it would be short notice for April the Sitter; and 2. Greg doesn't want to burn out Mom with all the sitting; espeically since we're going to need her to watch Amelia for a week at the end of July. So, after Greg and I talked about it during lunch on Saturday, we decided it was ok. When I called Mom later that night and told her, she was all happy and excited and when I told her why we had to think about it, specifically Greg's reason, she just laughed. She said there is no way she could ever be burned out from spending time with her first Grandbaby.
I am so bummed that Greg and I are not going to be starting our lives together this week. It irritates me that I have to wait, at least, another month for us to be together. This move was the one thing I have been so looking forward to! I was counting the days since the month of April. I just can't seem to get out of this funk of a mood. Also, I was feeling a bit of jealousy on Sunday, while at the baby shower. Not because April received so many things, but because she is able to enjoy her pregnancy, talk about it, get all excited and so much more; whereas I couldn't and didn't. I believe if Greg were more accepting and excited about being a dad, as he was when he learned that my water broke, in the beginning when I found out I was pregnant, I might feel different. I wished I had a baby shower for me, again not for the gifts, to share my excitment and have everyone tell me how excited they are for Greg and me, and argue over the name and so forth. I am fortunate enough to have a very supportive family that was able to help Greg and me get all the things we needed for Amelia, even before she was born, then and now. I am happy about that, but there are some things I feel I missed out on with this being my first baby.
Greg and I talked a little about our future together as man and wife. I always ask him why he feels our relationship is different than our past and he usually responds that his feelings for me are different than what he felt with his exes. So, when I asked him again this past weekend, just to make conversation on the road, he told me what he's told his co-workers (which, again surprised me) "I enjoy spending time with you. I look forward to the nights I come over and don't want to leave you when it's time to go." For once, he feels love as deep as ours. Yes, he's been in love in the past, but that 'in-love' feeling wore off and he says the love he feels for me is nothing that he's felt for anyone else. It makes me feel good to hear him tell me that he's never felt love for anyone else as strong as he does for me; and the reason why is because I feel the exact same for him.
Ugh. I am really not in a good mood today. I've been very argumentive to customers who are cancelling for petty reasons. Which, may sound good on the monitorings showing my rebuttles or what not, but that's usually not my style.
Greg sent me an email telling me that he's going to stop by two places to pick up their application information and then bring them over tonight so we can talk about it. Honestly, right now I don't even know if I want Greg to come over. I am really in a funk of a mood with no real reason. The only thing I can guess is the whole week has been emotionally rough and I'm having a harder time dealing with it than I thought I was.
I haven't slept well in the last two days. My asthma kept me up on Saturday night and kept bothering me all Sunday. Then during the afternoon on Sunday, my back started to bother me and I knew it was from the difficulty of breathing. So, when we got home last night, I took some Alieve and layed in bed. I fell asleep somewhere between 10:30 and 11:00pm, but awoke around 3am because of my backache and I couldn't fall back asleep or get comfortable. So, around 4:45am, I got up and found some Vicodene from when I had my tooth pull and layed back in bed. It took probably a half hour for me start feeling the effect and fall back asleep. Then, my brother wakes me up a little before 6am because he locked himself outside and then around 7:21am, I am awoken to the noise of someone knocking on the door! I tell Greg it's his turn to answer the door since I let Sean in and then realize that I was dreaming. But, I hear the knock again and walk into Aaron's room to look out the window. I didn't realize that Aaron was still home, so I just bardge into his room! He startled me and then I ask if he heard the knocking and he said no, so I continue to look out the window and I don't see anything. So, I guess it was all in my head.
I am really not in the mood to work anymore. I don't want to deal with people right now and I've had some nasty phone calls today. I just can't wait until this day is over.

First weekend without Amelia
Well, on Friday Greg and I met Mom in Waldorf and dropped Amelia off for the week! And, so far so good according to Mom.
After we dropped Amelia off, we went to Annapolis to pick up my medicine and then we went to Annapolis Mall to return my skirt. I was hoping to find a new skirt but either the sizes were too big or too small. So, I ended up with a pair of shorts. Also, these shorts are two sizes smaller than the skirt that I exchanged! I am still loosing weight and buying clothes smaller and smaller! I am now down to a size that I wore 10 years ago! And you know what's funny, this summer is my 10 year high school reunion and I am back to the weight I was in high school! So weird!
After shopping, Greg and I went and saw Shrek the Third. It was pretty good. The detail of the characters was great. The story was ok. I feel the second Shrek had a better story.
After the movies, Greg and I head to the grocery store to pick up a few things that end up being more. Damn Giant and their great sale! So, after the shopping we head home and cook dinner. A yummy italin chicken with cheese tortillini and salad. Once dinner was over, we head over to his place to change the kitty litter. Long story. And head back home to go to bed.
Saturday, we wake up at 7:30 and leave a around 8:30 to head to Fed Ex Field for the JSOH Air Show at Andrew's Air Force Base. We arrive at the stadium around 9:30-ish, pass the check point and walk to the buses. The bus ride was strange because we had to stand the whole ride to the base and I always find it weird to stand on a bus. Anyway, while in route to the base there is this huge plane flying over and Greg says it's an old WWII Fighter Plane. Cool. I was able to get pictures of it when we arrived at the base. I took a few pictures of the air show and put them on Flickr, go take a look! Anyway, the air show was a little disappointing and Greg and I left at 3pm and we were home by 4. I fell asleep on the way home and as soon as Greg and I got home, we fell asleep and slept for the rest of the night! Basically from 4:30 until 12:30am! And then I fell asleep again around 2am and slept until 9:30. I don't think I've slept that much in such a long time.
Sunday, Today, Greg and I went to check out an apartment, but they were closed. So, we went to lunch at Cactus Willies cause I had a coupon and then he went home and I've been home since. Sean went to visit Laurie and Aaron went to visit his Mom. So, about 10 minutes after everyone left, Craven shows up and now he and I are going to go see Disturbia.

Yada Yada Yada
Not much going on at the moment...
My Mom is going to watch Amelia for a whole week starting this Friday! This should be insteresting since my Mom thinks Amelia doesn't like her (because Amelia crys every time she's with Mom). I just tell Mom she needs to spend more time with Amelia and then Amelia will become used to her; which is another reason Mom wants to be with Amelia for a week. Also, this will save us a lot of money because we won't have to pay for babysitting! This will actually save us $163 dollars.
Greg and I have taken this Friday, the 18th, off to do a list of things: 1. take Amelia to Mom's (more than likely we are going to meet in Waldorf as we always do); 2. Look at a few apartments; 3. Pick up sample medicine for my astham from my PCP (since I don't have insurance at the moment); 3. Stop by Torrid in Annaplis to exchange my skirt that is too big; 4. See a movie (we are eager to see Shrek III)
On Saturday, Greg and I are going to the air show at AAFB. We went last year and I had a good time! I learned that I like two planes, the C-5 and the Osprey. I find them facinating. Greg says the air show is going to be pretty simular to last years so we probably won't stay as long; which is fine with me. Last year, we were exhausted by the end of the day and we still went to IKEA in College Park afterwards! I don't think that will happen again this year.
No plans for Sunday at this moment. If anything, I will TRY to clean my room, do laundry and maybe start packing a little, or at least go through Amelia's clothes to see what fits and doesn't fit anymore to give to April. I'm still excited April is having a girl!!!
Can you believe Greg and I have talked, a little, about having another baby! This won't be happening anytime soon, but he says he wouldn't mind having a boy. I'm still in shock that he's even thought about it. But, at the same time that makes me excited because with the second one I can enjoy the pregnancy and have my first babyshower.
Well, lunch is about over and there are a few other things I want to check out.
