So I followed Katie's lead and went to see P.S. I Love You-alone. Yeah, the burst of energy came around Friday, but alas the baby did not. I had lunch with a friend and headed to the theater. I totally agree with her and state that every married woman should see this movie, with some Kleenex! I did not bawl like a little child like Kate, (and I was wearing my special bra) but I got a little misty. I laughed too, so don't just take this movie as a downer. I think it totally deserved more than 3 stars! It's been a long time since I have seen a movie this good.

Funny story

So I am driving down the road today, on the way home from physical therapy. Give Mand a call to see how Cam's knee is doin' and just catching up. All of the sudden I have a wave of nausea come over me. I am REALLY hot and feel like I am going to lose anything that is in my stomach-chocolate pudding, yes that is what I had for lunch! So, in 25 degree weather I roll down my windows and turn on the air conditioning-full blast! I got a really strange look at a stoplight from a guy like, "Hello, it just stopped snowing 10 minutes ago. Why is your window down?" OH, being pregnant is so much fun! I think I would have thought the same thing :)

Response

As an answer to all of those who have questions/doubts about the new wall color-yes, I don't like it. The bedding is all green and brown, with a little bit of blue and cream....no red anywhere. With such a small space, a deep chocolate would make it seem even smaller and believe me, there is no room left in this room, it makes you feel claustrophobic even walking in because there is so much furniture. I actually got the idea from Grandma Tami, whose "there is nothing so boring as white walls" gene that I do posess. If I had it my way I could have everything neat, cohesive, and cute; but, for a multi-purpose room comes multi-purpose white. Sometimes you just can't win! Oh, and a big thanks to Mand and Kate for calling me crazy-love ya! :)

Out with the Old

Good-bye colorful red wall. Hello multi-purpose white! This was the project of the weekend. As we "hurry up and wait" for Cole, getting things done little by little has helped to give us something else to focus on. I'm running out of big projects and things to purchase....this baby had better come soon or I might go over my budget :)

Oral Surgery

I do not know of any other surgery that encourages gifts of dessert! Who knew that I could get Krispy Kremes, Cheesecake Factory, popsicles, ice cream, and some dangerously gotten sabayon? All in all things are going pretty well. The surgeon was great and had my wisdom tooth out in less than 60 seconds. It took longer for him to "numb me up" than to get the actual tooth out. I am slightly swollen but have my good friends the ice packs on hand. Thanks to everyone for their love and prayers-could not have done it without you. Big thanks to dear old Dad who played nurse while Brian was in school. Natalie and I just ended up being entertained instead of intense bedside attendance (he could have done it if he had to though) :) I know that the next time won't go as smoothly since there will be three teeth and they are all impacted, BUT that's a few months down the road. Now we can concentrate on getting this baby here!

Hyer Baby Shower

After hours of being in "pending" mode due to snow, it finally came together on Jan 5! We had a nice brunch with some of Brian's aunts, grandma, and cousins. Lots of fun gifts and good advice from the clan for baby Cole. They are as excited for him to come as we are! Grandma Hyer has suggested that we deliver the 24th great-grandchild on the 24th. I guess I will do what I can:)

Happy New Year!

We had a progressive New Year's party to bring in 2008. Starting out at the Gaby's for appetizers, then off to the Eames' for games. Most already know that the spoon game ended up more like an argument/fire drill. I enjoyed telling my fortune through a handful of M&M's. I am getting money and health in the future, but not a speck of romance. I guess a baby will do that to you. We busted out some old favorites like the Name Game and we even got to predict if Aunt Cari will have another baby in the next year-answer is hazy, try again later. Then off to Uncle Jack's for midnight breakfast. All in all it was a classic Harman party-all night long with lots of laughs!
