Today has actually been one of the ONLY days I haven't had a calendar full of appointments. It was kind of nice to be able to catch up on laundry and just get some work done. I think the dog REALLY loves me being at home, so he isn't left all alone. I even took him on a little walk in the rain! I think the Hubby was blown away I actually did that. It's NEVER happened!!! #firsttimeforeverything
I love looking out the window in the study at it raining, but all of the sudden I saw the trees blowing all over the place and hearing the tornado sirens. That is not something I EVER want to hear!!! I HATE TORNADOS!!!! I decided I might need to move away from the window about that time!!!
Thank God the tornado warning passed and I back at my desk working away, but I am dying to drive over to the new house to check things out! But, I totally hate driving in this kind of weather, so I will make the Hubby take me when he gets home from work! He'll be SO excited! #hewillbemadatme
At least my new house is enclosed and won't get too wet inside, BUT I just hope it is still standing! I don't have time to start over!!! I will probably have a nervous breakdown if it is destroyed! I think that area got it worse than where I am. But, I am sure everything is fine! #Iliveinastateofworry
Well, as long as all is good at the new house, we will be getting the framing inspected next week by the City. I don't know why they call it a framing inspection, because actually it is framing, plumbing, electrical and AC. So, once all is good with that, we will get the foam insulation blown in. After that, it will be drywall! Oh, and my roof is going to be in on Saturday!! YIPPPPEEEEE!!!! My roof is THE BOMB (well as long as it doesn't cave into my house!! A concrete tile roof is OH SO HEAVY!!!) #worrymuch It is going to look AWESOME!!!! It was custom made (the tiles are literally made at the time you order them) and the colors have never been mixed together. I think the Sales Rep might be a little more excited about the colors than me.
Sample of my exact roof tiles!
In the next couple of weeks, our current house will be going up for sale!! YIPPPEEEEE!!!!! I can't wait to move out of this thing!!!! Although, we have to have the right buyer that is willing to wait until July or August to move in. The way this market is, I am sure it won't be a problem. For some reason that I have no idea about, people actually want to live in this area! #mustlikegettingdrunkandwalkinghome
Onto Baby R......Yesterday was a fairly quick monthly appointment. Everything is moving along fairly well. Baby is measuring a week ahead which makes me SAD!!! That means the kid is probably going to be half grown when it is born! :-( I want a little baby dang it!!!! Oh well, I'll get over it!!! #don'thavemuchchoiceanyways
I am a little concerned about "B" though. It is only week 22 and she is already complaining to the Doctor about being out of breathe! I am REALLY worried how she is going to be when she is WAY BIGGER in the next several weeks. Just another thing I have no control over, so I shouldn't get myself worked up.
I want to have a pity party for myself now about the things that make me sad in regards to not being able to be the one carrying my little love! I think sometimes it is good to blog about my perspective of things and how things make me feel. I really think it helps me to voice my views and feelings in my blog. That is why I started it in the first place. I just don't want anyone to hold it against me or feel I am not grateful for the experience! I TOTALLY am and very appreciative, but I still have feelings. I want to people to know how hard this experience can be as well. It definitely takes special people to do something like this on both sides. Just about every single person that knows what we are doing, tells me they could never do what I am doing and that actually makes me feel good when I hear that! #weirdIknow #justkeepingitreal
To start with a positive, I love that "B" told me she was taking a prenatal that is all natural. I saw it at Whole Foods today and it made me happy!!! It is one thing that I would do if I were pregnant with this Baby too!! It sucks not having control of what goes into my Babies little 1 pound body. No offense to anyone at all. It is part of the process. Basically, in Surrogacy, they go off the list that says what you can and can't eat. That list sucks if you ask me!!! Full of toxic food!! America is killing us slowly but surely with foods that are full of chemicals!!! I just have a much healthy lifestyle of the foods I chose to eat versus don't. I also know that I consume toxic food, but I am really trying to work towards being WAY more cautious of what I put in my body!! Besides "B" knows that I am a bit FREAK about foods and health and pretty much EVERYTHING else!!!! I know she knows we are very different and I am sure she rolls her eyes at me! :-) Heck, most of my Family does. My Sister told me if I say something is toxic one more time, she is going to scream!! I know that you can't force someone to eat a certain way and I am totally ok with it. I am just making a statement on the way that I would be if I were the one pregnant. I also wish I could workout with my little Baby too! I bet the little Baby would love yoga or walking on the treadmill with me! I get sad when I think about how I could be meeting other Moms to be at Pre-Natal Yoga. I would LOVE to do Yoga with my little Baby!! How fun would that be???!!!! #cananonpregnantgirldoprenatalyoga??? Once the Baby is two months old, we are joining Mommy and Me Yoga!!! WHOOOO HOOOO!!!!! Can't wait!!!! #Septemberseemsforeveraway
Oh and while I was typing this post, I got a call from my new Neighbor about the house. Does she have ESP or what????? There are some big tree limps down and some debris, but she said the house is still standing! About to head over there to pick up the place!
Until next time,
Lesley
