to sleep perchance to dream

The other night I dreamed of the baby. It very well could have been Charley I dremt about too. Well she had soft black hair. Kinda sticky uppy! Asian eyes and the most delicated soft skin. Little asian nose, I've been worried it would have michael's nose..... With all the features being so delicate....I think its a girl! We shall see.

October 14th we go for the Final ultra sound to check and make sure things are growing well. I have been more hungry lately. Hopefully the food goes to the right places.
March 2nd is the Due date. I'll take bribes to have her on your special day! ..... as long as its in Early March.

Back Home

Back from Vacation... 4 Days at Winchester Bay 4-wheeling with the Smellers and Joe/Laura. The nights were cold and the days were odd. Friday the mist came in and was overcast all day. Saturday it was sunny and misty. Sunday it was beautiful. Monday it was unbelievably beautiful.
Mike had fun with the large group of smellers. They had all riding experiences trails, dunes....watching Bruce get stuck on a hill. Each morning he also took the dogs on a little run. It's the most they've gotten to run in a long time. They loved it!

I had time to myself at camp: sleeping, reading, cooking, I offered to do most of the cooking this trip since I wasn't riding and I wanted what I wanted to eat for a change.

Back to Salem- Tired and sunburnt. All I wanted to do was SLEEP....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz........z..z......zzzzzzzzz.
MIKE Got a "honey do list" from Mom to make a mini vestibule outside of Mini's Doggie door. HA! She liked the little window Mike had put in so that she could see out or just sit there on the green carpet. She had fun barking at our dogs. She likes being with us so much she was doing her best to get into Mike's truck as we were leaving.
Had so much fun visiting with Cathy and Jamey's families. Seeing wedding Pictures and the new house. Found out that Kristin and Courtney are both an Facebook Whoo Hoo!

Didn't make it to Prineville. Really wanted to but... Too exhausted to drive any more. This trip I had the most unbelievable Car-sickness I've ever had. Almost hurled a few times each trip. Michael thinks all the bathroom stops were unnecessary. TOo Bad
