Good News!

So, we found out today where Tyler will be doing his practicum this summer - At the Grey Nuns Hospital. We are both really excited about it although we don't show it the same way.  Tyler told me and I was all smiles because I know Millwoods fairly well and it's close to other areas that I know well.  Tyler was just kind of like, "Okay".  I think because it's still far away and so much has to happen before he even starts that he doesn't think about being excited about it.  That makes sense.  But I'm excited!  It's fun to think about where we will be next summer and to finally have a clear idea.

But as for today, I woke up kind of at the same time as Tyler got out of the shower.  My mind was racing right when I came out of that sleepy haze so I was unable to get back to sleep.  I joined Tyler on the couch with some breakfast, much to his insistence I go back to bed.  I told him I couldn't because my mind wouldn't shut up.  So I ate some granola while he watched his sports highlights and did his own morning routine.  I warmed some milk for TK who was already looking through the window.

Tyler left for work and banned me from going back to bed, but I assured him I wouldn't.  I was already awake and was still thinking too much.  I did the few dishes that were waiting for me and then went to brush my teeth.  And then I started my day.

It wasn't an overly exciting day but my days tend to be like that.  I opened up my Bible and started reading from the beginning.  I wanted to read to Baby J today and I figured the Bible is probably a good thing to introduce early.  I read for a while and Baby J seemed to love it because he was moving and being a crazy baby.

I also cross stitched.  I'm currently doing a project that only uses 2 colors - blue and lighter blue.  It's a really cool looking little project and it's taking me no time at all to do.  I'm really excited for it.

TK pretty much was outside all day long so I had to contend with the pull I feel to go out and cuddle and play with her.  I did feed her a bit.

Tyler came home for lunch and we had a great time together.  While he was home, I put a tin foil ball outside for TK to play with and she loves it.  She has been knocking it back and forth all day and night.

We enjoyed out time and then he had to go back to work.  It was super foggy this morning but it cleared up into a pretty nice day so I thought I would take full advantage and go for a walk.  I got dressed and when I went to grab the house key, it wasn't where I usually put it.  I remembered that Tyler took it last time we left the house so I checked all the places he usually puts it - the top of the fridge is his favorite.  I looked everywhere I thought.  And then I was irritated.  I thought Tyler maybe took it to work by accident or was playing a game of "Hide the Key so Sonja can't go Outside".  It just got me worked up.  I eventually looked inside a pocket of a sweater I have and found it.  I honestly don't remember ever putting it in there and I don't remember when I would have done that.  I went to Tyler's work and apologized for the annoyed voice mail I left him.  And then I was off on my walk.  It was so nice to get outside.  I do love walking.  By the time I got home, Baby J was all the way out in the front of my belly and was moving up a storm.  It was fun to lay on the couch and watch that.  My doctor appointment was moved to tomorrow so I didn't go today.  I can't wait to hear the heartbeat and hopefully to hear again that everything is just perfect.

I spent the rest of the afternoon cross stitching, listening to TK play with her tin foil ball and I cuddled with my own Kitten.  She loves to lay on the blanket in between my legs, so not only do I have a baby furnace, I also have a Kitten furnace also so I'm never cold.

Tyler was late coming home again today which was fine.  Dinner was a meal I could just whip up when he got home and we would be eating 5 minutes later.  I was hungry though, so I cooked up some tomato soup and made myself a grilled cheese sandwich.  Tyler came home at around 5ish and I made him the same meal.  He had to study so I cross stitched while he read what he needed to.

There was a hockey game on tv tonight, so Tyler put away his computer and started to watch that.  I called Eva and we had a really great talk.  It's been a while since we've talked and it made me pretty exited to come home and see family in person.  We talked for about 2 hours before we both had to go to the bathroom.

I rejoined Tyler on the couch to watch the last bit of the game.  We ended up losing the game and now I am just trying to get through this blog.  Tyler is making fun of me, waddling around with his hand on his back like a really pregnant person.  It's a good thing he makes me laugh or else I'm sure I would be upset about that.  Also he says I don't waddle yet.

Happy Wednesday!

Baby J says he can't wait to meet every one.  I've been teaching him morse code so I know what his taps and kicks really mean.
