Real Quick...

I wanted to share my funny conversation with the customer service representative from the doppler company. So here is my preface. In all of my anxiety I have decided that it would be a good idea to rent a doppler just for two months. Not purchase, not use everyday, just enough time to get me through the next few weeks. So I decided this all on my own, and that I needed it and needed it now. Like over - night first thing in the morning I need it !!! So I call, and the following conversation takes places:

Me: I am inquiring about your overnight shipping and the arrival times should it leave tonight by 7 p.m. Mind you I got this number from the babyfm.com ( advertise we rent dopplers)

Customer service: Ma'm we will have this to you by 10:00 a.m.

Me: Perfect, I would like to place an order.

Customer service: No problem just some quick info to take down, Name, address phone number you get my drift.... Then due date.

Me: August 28th ( in my proud mom -to -be voice)

Customer service: August 28th ma'm

Me: Yup ( that's me, planning on being laid up in a hospital as images run through my mind)

Customer service: you are due August 28th and you want this sent priority over night ?????

Me: ( In my suspicious voice) Is this the correct number to rent dopplers.

Customer service: I am sorry they transferred you to the wrong dept, we ship cord blood containers.

Me: Man, I sure would have been disappointed tomorrow night when I got home from work and found a cord blood kit on my front porch.

Customer service: You would have been more disappointed with your $1800 credit card bill !!

Nuf said !!

I am packing....

We are leaving for vacation on Friday. That means one more day of work, and a week's worth of play. I am in much need of some warm sunshine ( we are going to Florida). This winter has just been too long.
We have rented this house before, so we already know what to expect which is kind of nice when you are away from home. Also this house has a heated pool that is enclosed in the lanai ( ?sp ?) just in case it is not warm enough for the beach. And weather permitting I want to rent a kayak in Lover's Key, the website states that there are Manatee sightings on this route. Hopefully when I get back I will have some fun pictures to share.
See you in a week !

Wow !

I knew I took a break, but I didn't know it was this long. Almost a whole month. I actually can tell you that it felt like a week- or so.

Okay so to my big news. A while back ( with my memory it could be my last post) I said that I would have some big news. And as promised I do. I am getting Bigger ( get it- BIG news) as in my waist line..... Are you catching my drift ????
That's right, were expecting ! Although this is not the most pregnant I have ever been I am confident the outcome of this pregnancy will be different. I am praying. On Monday I will be 13 weeks . This is major, I get to stop my medication ( which I am nervous about) I will hopefully start feeling better, and I will officially allow myself to be excited. Unfortunately I have been robbed of that first time pregnancy ( somewhat naive) excitement. But I will let it flow !
