Do you know that song – “Luckiest” – it’s perhaps, one of my favorites and totally says how I feel about my mothers day.  Even though I was thrown up on twice, dealt with a fussy-bucket of a daughter, and didn’t get a waffle – the day was excellent.  I am so grateful for matthew and zoe and the rest of my family.  I got to speak to my mom on skype and have dinner with Helen, Gene, Jon and Chieu.  To wrap up the evening I spent time watching the videos of zoe that I had from Zoes birth on – it truly made my day.

Well now I have positive vibes to help me through this week!

Oh and I’m not sure why fb takes 2-3 days to grab my posts but feel free to use an RSS to follow my blog.

And why am I updating it at 6:30 am?!?

Well because swine flu has kicked my ass – ugh.  All the precautions; hand sanitizer like a whoa, not touching my face, the h1n1 shot 1 week ago… and I still got it.  Thankfully the doc’s think it’s somewhat weakened because I don’t have a fever, aches, or the chills.  I came down with a cough on Tuesday, saw my family doc on Wednesday who said I had bronchitis (probably true), had a HORRIBLE night of not breathing and finally saw my Allergist on Thursday.  She didn’t think it was h1n1 but took the extra precaution to have me get swabbed for Influenza A while we were doing my breathing treatments.  That swab came back positive for Influenza A and 99% of positives are also positive for h1n1, so instead of doing a test that would take weeks to know, I took one that I  knew in an hour.  So the thing they want to get under control is the breathing, because if I can’t breathe, baby can’t breathe.  I’m on Tamiflu, an antibiotic, and a nebulizer to get the breathing meds to my lungs.  They also gave me a shot of a steroid.  It seems to be working – my cough is still here, but not as tight and it has definitely loosened up my chest.  But as we can see, I’m not sleeping at 6AM   I do have to say, I slept fairly well till about 5 am and then I got up a few times due to coughing and now I decided to play on the computer until my cough drop is gone.  Luckily I’m on the couch so I’m not bothering Matthew.

Can I say how lucky I am to have Matthew?  He was a sweetheart and came home yesterday to take care of me – I was a mess, crying and freaking out – all before I knew I had h1n1.  He took me to the doc, drove me around to get my swabbing, picked up my meds and is in general, making me feel better   Yep I’m one lucky lady to have him

And still kicking me, literally as I type, is Zoe Marie   That’s right we’re having a girl and we chose the name Zoe Marie   I’m definitely worried about this flu stuff with her but I have a great doc, and an even better Mother-in-Law who are watching out for her.  This past week to two weeks I can really feel her kicking away.  It’s kinda funny – like I’ll be driving to work and she’ll start kicking my upper belly in the same spot at random intervals. Kick, pause, pause, kick, kick, pause, pause, pause, kick, pause, kick, pause. For about 20 kicks she did this!  It made me chuckle, and the kicks were hard enough that I could feel them outside my belly   Oh and yesterday I’m pretty sure she head-butted, or butt-butted me, lol, I had my hand on my belly and felt a HUGE bump that couldn’t have been a hand or a foot!  I think with all of her movement it’s really made me excited to do the 3D/4D ultrasound with my family in Florida We’ll be able to see her again!

Alright, time to go do another breathing treatment so this coughing will stop and I can get some more sleep for a few hours.  Promise, I’ll try and update more often!

So I know…it’s been a while…I’m sorry – it’s not you, it’s me. Really. Of course I still love you!

Sigh – I have been sooo busy that I haven’t had a chance to breath, let alone update – but I’m taking a few valuable minutes to do that, just for you.

So first things first: If you want to keep up with me, informally of course, follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/librarianAnna
I update that thing all the time, or anytime I go to the bathroom.
Which then updates my Facebook page – so find me there too…and on facebook I take random pictures and put them on there immediately (via phone – I love it!)

Now for the life – recent hurrah’s:
-I got onto CSC!!! Wooohooooo! It’s a two year commitment and I’m looking forward to it!
-Matthew celebrated his birthday and let me tell you – he was SHOCKED by his gift. He had NO idea that I did this, nor did he pick up on any of the lies. I made Matthew a Boudoir Album! I went through Varland Photography to do this and it was AWESOME! As soon as the pictures are online I’ll put a link here. But he really had NO CLUE that I did this and I thought for sure that he had an inkling..nope, nothing, nada. He was just so stunned he couldn’t talk. And he really like the pictures I am awesome .
-I got to see my sistah!

and now I have to go…I’ll try and update soon.

So as some of you know, Matthew had a “suppresent” for me.  The clues were: It was outside the entire day, while Matthew was at work; and it could not be in the house b/c it would “contaminate” the house.

So here’s what it was:

Some beautiful Mum’s Now if anyone has any clue where to plan them let me know (Sun good/bad, shade good/bad, do I have to remove them in the winter – can I put them in an indoor planter if they do…etc…)

Alright- that’s all – I’ll try and post more pictures as my birthday approaches!

Oh and here’s a great picture of me! AT work, working HARD!
