MILESTONE DAYS.

Today, I am 8 weeks along in my pregnancy.  A few days ago, I had another ultrasound to confirm that the baby had continue to thrive and grow.  The baby had definitely grown and the heartbeat was strong.  It was a welcome sight and I am glad to have shared it with my Hub.

Having had another slight bleed earlier last week, I was looking for succour and found it.  Here are a few of the things that helped last week come to a glorious close:

*  Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches on Wheat Bread.  What's that?  Oh, crunchy and Strawberry, of course!
*  More Apple Juice . . . because I gotta keep a handle on my flow.  (Seriously.  I just wrote that.)
*  My Niece, for accompanying me to Chicago where we saw the Shedd, the Museum of Science and Industry, a ton of stores on the Mag Mile and a few of my favorite restaurants (Portillo's, Gino's East and of course we had a Chicago Style Dog!)
*  My support network of Chicas (Lauren, Jen, Sybil) - they do it right. 

I came home from Chicago last night to a house covered in dust.  Drywall dust, tile dust. . . DUST.  I spent an hour and a half cleaning the kitchen just so that I could have a room to stand in and feel clean.  With the help of my Hub, the rest of the house was sucked into a HEPA vacuum.  With a little luck, our bathroom project should be completed soon.  (It takes a real adult to appreciate a new toilet and a fast filling tank!)  I will get some pictures together when I can. 

(Lifting my plastic blue cup of Water) Here's to starting off the week right!
