Hey Everybody! Been an interesting couple of weeks. Little mand is getting bigger, and I thought he had a tape worm cause he never stops eating, but I was informed that no....he just eats....a lot. Oh well. He is laughing now and loves to do it. He has also found his voice and loves to squeek/scream for no reason. For the most part his is a very good boy. He smiles all the time and likes to talk to everyone. If your in a conversation around him, he will try to join in. Anyways here's a pic of what he looks like now.

It's been a while I know. Little Gabe is sleeping through the night now, so i'm pretty busy during the day with him. He is a momma's boy and likes to be held most of the day and gets quite irritable if not held. He's really big now around 14lbs and 26 inches. This Tuesday he will be 3 months old. And here he is.....

So we dropped the little one off at my parents the other night and went to see the new Harry Potter movie. We took our nephew with us as well, but it was a late showing and he fell asleep halfway through the movie. The movie was very cool. I've read all the books so I knew what was going to happen, but my husband has never read the books and do it was fun seeing his reaction to things. I still say Snape is the man, lol.
The little guy is almost 6wks now. He's a very smart baby, and has allready learned how to manipulate every family member he has into doing what he wants lol. He is sleeping more at night now, so that is good. Oh, and he is up to 24" and 11.8 lbs now.

The little man was born on time on the 23rd. He was 8.8lbs and 12in. He is now a bit longer and a little over 9lbs. He is so cute. It's been an interesting three weeks. I've learned that you only need three sporadic hours of sleep to funtion, lol.

OK, so the little guy is still in. I"m not due until the 23rd (tuesday), but due to him being and estimated 9 lbs of joy, the Dr. doesn't want me to go much past my due date so.... The evening of my due date if I haven't going into labor they are going to induce me. So for sure the baby will be exposed to the world on Wed. Hubby and I are excited to meet the little guy.

Two more weeks I have, but the baby really could come at any time. We are currently trying to get everything set up so it's all ready when he gets here. Mostly we have to clear a space and then put together the crib. We're so excited. How has everyone been?

I have six more weeks to go. He's estimated to be around 8lbs at birth.

Well, we are down to three months now, til the baby is due. Hubby is still very excited.

OK, so we did another ultra sound here at 21 weeks. We found out that we are going to be having a little boy. Yea!! He is doing well, and likes to move around a lot. At the time of the ultra sound he was 10 in and almost a pound. I guess this is a little big, cause the nurse and the Dr. both told us the baby is going to be big. lol, oh well.

So what's new with me. Not a whole lot. Hubby and I are going to the Dr. Next week. It's time for another ultrasound, but this time we get to find out if the baby is a boy or girl. So were excited.
Last weekend we went and saw the new Underworld movie. It was awesome. Bill nighy is the man. It was nice to see him as Viktor again. He did a wonderful job. Hubby liked the movie as well, but he is a big werewolf fan and so he was thrilled that they kicked vampire butt in this movie.

Hello everyone,

Sorry if I haven't been around. I havent' forgotten about anyone, but the holidays were a bit much for me and I managed to get a virus on my computer. That was fun, but it's all cleaned out and good now, so here I am again.
I'm a little sad as hubby has informed me that I have to take down our little tree. It's only a foot and a half tall, but it's our first Christmas tree so it is a little sad to have to take it down. It was just so cute. Oh, well.
As far as our baby goes, things are proceeding well. I will be 18 weeks tomorrow. We've decided to call the baby Peanut for now until we know if it's a boy or girl. We were in two weeks ago to see how things were going. We couldn't hear the baby's heart at that time, but we got to see it beating on the ultrasound. It was very cool, but after a bit the little one was tired of being watched apparently, and tuned around mooning us all. Peanut refused to change position after that so the ultrasound was over.
I am also excited about the prequel to Underworld coming out this month. I entered the contest on Fandango to try and go to the Premire. Would have been awesome to meet Bill Nighy. Oh, well, I still get to go see the movie with my Hubby. He is looking foward to seeing it as well. It looks to be better then the second one and maybe even the first one. Either way I prolly love it watche it over and over just because Bill is in it.

Ok, so I know it's been a while since I last commented on anything or posted anything. Apparently 3 weeks to be exact. Hubby and I found out that we are going to be having a baby around that time and we've been running about trying to get appointments set up and what not. It's still really early and all so dont' really know a whole lot yet. We go tomorrow to do an ultrasound so we will get to see our first glims of our little one. We're very excited about it and we are hoping for a boy, but a little girl would be awesome too, though hubby keeps saying he hopes it's twins, lol. I'm not sure I"m ready for two at once since this will be our first, but one or two they will be love just as much. I will keep anyone who wants to be updated, updated about things.
In other news. Saterday me and hubby participated in a charity event at our local game shop. They do miniatures, board games, and such. The entry fees for the different gaming events that they had were food donations instead of money. Cool, for us because you could get in for cheaper then usual, and cool for them cause they got lots of stuff to donate. Anyways we showed up for the LOTR minature tourney. There was a quiz as part of it and then the actuall battles. My partner and I lost most of our battles, but we had a fun insteresting army so it was all good. Also because we got all the questions correct on the quiz me and my partner got these super cool measuring tapes with LOTR on one side and the lettering off the One ring on the other. Hubby and his team mate won good sportsmanship and got a random board game each. So, that was cool.

Also I have a surplus of time and craft supplies, so anyone wanting some holiday handmade craftiness let me know where and who to send it to.

Ok, so at the end of October me and my husband celebrated out 1st aniversary. We went to one of our favorite resturants, Buca de Bepo. We went with some friends and we got sat in a room called the Pope Room. It was kinda cool, except that in the center of the table was a lazy susan with this bust of a pope on it. It was really creepy, cause the pope kinda looked like Hannibal Lecter. This is a pic of that pope.

Yea, yea, I know. So anyways here are the ruls and a screenshot of my desktop.

Here’s how you can do a screen capture:

4. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well. (only if you wanna)

So today was a semi productive day. Hubby and I moved from his tiny room in the basement to a much larger space in the basement. Essentailly we have a bedroom with a small livingroom. It's cool though cause we will be about to have a couch in there and a tv. OH, and we will be getting wireless internet finally so I can bring my computer out. Previously my computer was out at my parents place so I could use it there on the internet, but now it will be out here. Make working out business easier since most of the files are on my computer. Dont' ask why they are, taht's just how it is. So it will be like living in a cool little appartment. The only problem, is that people haven't resided in that room for over 7 months so spiders and various other creepy crawly things have moved in. I have an advers reaction to creepy crawly things so, we have been spraying for those. I still see some occasionally and I break out the spray and drown them. Hey, wait for the spray to kill them takes to long. Drowning them in chemicals is faster. I might post pics at some point when we get everything set up an what not.

Just wanted you lot, the important lot, who read my insesant ramblings to know. I was listening to the radio this morning and they was talkin about Johnny Depp's new projects and yes folks it's official. There will be a Pirates of the Carribean 4!

My favorite outfit consits of a pair of jeans, a deatheaters shirt, my green Chuck Taylors, and mismatched sox.

And so the might of Mordor failed. I took third place this weekend in the tourney. I was beaten out by the wild men, and goblins of Moria, but in my defense I had to play the wildmen twice and I'd lost to them the first time, and I never played the goblin hordes. Oh, well it was still fun in the end. I had a mostly good time.

Hopefully this will cheer you up. By the way, Christopher Lee, is on of my secrect crushes....(his younger years mind you).

So today was a kinda cool day. I painted miniatures for a while and then went to play miniatures with friends. It was a lot of fun. We all picked partners for the next tournament and that was cool. Then we played some games. I lost mine but it's all good, cause it was only a practice game anyways. I also got in some practice on the guitar today. I need a lot more, but it was nice to play again. It's been a while so finger tips are a little sore.

I've started writing again. I used to write all the time, but then stopped for a while. I used to draw all the time as well, but I don't do that much anymore either, usually only for special occasions now.
