Savannah Greek Festival

Today my mom, my sister Lori, Lucas and I ventured out to the Greek Festival for lunch. I LOVE Greek Food! I think I'm going to be in trouble next Tuesday when I have to weigh in... especially after my mom got samples of almost ever desert there for us all to taste test... and that was AFTER we ate lunch there.... but it was so YUMMY! Lucas loved the "serts" too but his favorite thing about today was the music.

He spent most of his time dancing and playing with the other kids. I love that kids can just make instant friends with total strangers and dance and act silly together without worrying about what somebody else my think.

While we were eating Lori was having some mild contractions. I'm sure she still has a WHILE before my new nephew comes but it is so exciting. She is 37 weeks now and her belly is HUGE (but in a good baby growing way.) I can't wait to meet baby ______ (name withheld because I've been threatened to not tell anyone... and I am TRYING to be good...)

An apple a day keeps the Dr away, so what keeps the dentist away?

I've never been one of those people that feared going to the dentist. Actually I can remember countless times when I would fall sleep while the dentist was cleaning my teeth because I would feel so relazed reclined in the chair staring into the overhead light.

Well, those days might be over. My mouth hurts! Today I had what is called a full mouth debridement... which is like a cleaning only deeper... they dig into the gums to really make sure all the plaque is out of there and they use this high powered stream of water and it feels like a knife cutting around your teeth. My gums are all sore and bleeding. This is normal. I'm not complaining, I am happy with the dentist I went to... very happy. It needed to be done it just hurts like hell! Besides it can be one of those things I say when Lucas is doing something "do you know what I went through while I was pregnant with you..." I had tears coming out of my eyes and I was trying to concentrate on something else so I just kept repeating the alphabet over and over and over. So please go to your dentist regularly!!! You don't want to deal with this at all!!!

Also so far I have eaten 3 Popsicles today because the cold feels good. So that is a plus.

Oh today I got a letter from my Grandmother in Cali. I had told her I was a little sad that we weren't naming Lucas after anyone in our family. Well it turns out we did, we just didn't know. My Dad's grandfather (so my great grandfather) was named LeRoy and everyone called him Luke. She told me what a wonderful man and father-in-law he was. Every Friday he would bring home flowers to his wife and they would have everyone over to play cards and he would clean up after everyone. I know it may seem like a little thing but that made me very happy to know that! I think I will call him Luke... that way when he does something I can yell "Lucas!" before going to the "Lucas Owen Hunter"...

Tomorrow is my sisters birthday... she will be 20. I can't believe that. In a few days it will also be my best friend Katie's birthday and I have to think of something to send to her. I miss her so much and wish she was here! We have both been busy with our own lives lately and haven't really talked... but we keep up with emails back and forth. Well I think I am going to eat yet another ice cream then maybe go to bed. I just listed a bunch of things on eBay. I need to start making some money again.

It is so cool how many people in Iraq voted! It makes me tear up to hear all the threats and violence they went through to get there and we still take voting for granted! EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IRON JAWED ANGELS!

My Mood : Excited! Now Playing : Jay Leno's opening in the other room

It doesn't feel like Saturday

Wow it doesn't feel like it is Saturday... more like a Sunday. I am not sure why. Today all of my Cali family left and I am sad to see them go! I enjoyed them being here. Oh the other hand it is going to be nice to find a normal routine for myself. I don't really have one. December has been crazy and my house is a wreck! The beginning of Dec I had finals to deal with, then the actual Graduation, then Christmas, visiting family, and new years (my birthday). I don't have a routine now that I am out of school.

I need to get my house in order and I need to start making money! I haven't posted anything on eBay since right before Christmas. I guess next week I just need to pick an area or task each day and focus on that and set aside time to list on eBay. I will be able to get more done now that I am feeling less tired and less sick to my stomach.

I have my next appointment on Tuesday (I think) and I should be able to get to hear the heart beat this time. I know it is dumb but I worry about the baby because I am not showing yet, I can't feel the baby kick or move yet, so I'm always worried that it is still ok. I just wish I could see her/him everyday. I can't believe in 6 months I will have a baby to hold and take care of. It is kind of scary. I am going to be a mom forever!! I will be responsible for this little person forever. I am going to be someones mom... and it was a total surprise to both me and Curt. I also wish I knew what the sex was so I could pick out a baby name and it just be set. If we do have a daughter her middle name will be Danielle after my parents first names (Daniel and Eleanor). I have a cousin named Davia who was named after her Dad David and I always loved that idea and wished my name had been Danielle. I would also love to find a "K" name for my daughter because then her initials could be K.D. (like after my best friend Katie). Oh well I should go before I keep going on and on.
I am really enjoying keeping this journal. I always kept diaries and journals growing up and have loved to write.
