Im a miss'n the sweetie
Kyle went to his coldplay concert tonight with Doug. I think they're having a good time, as he called me twice just so I could hear some songs. It didnt come through very well on the cell phone though. I hope he has fun, because he didnt seem that excited to go. Infact he kept forgetting about it. Just yesterday night he forgot. Anyway, for some reason, even though he's only been gone a few hours, and he's coming back tomorrow, I really miss him. I feel lonely, like life just isnt the same without him. Plus, I hate going to bed alone. No fun. I cant believe I sort of got used to him being gone all the time before. Anyway, Im tired and should go to bed. Sorry for the not so entertaining update.

Last night we did a cheap date night with Steve and Leah. We got some ingredients for quesadillas and for home made blizzards (a recent thing I have wanted to eat). It was nice, simple and yummy yummy yumzors. They have been kind to us in our poor time we're having, and have been feeding us a lot. We played scattergories. This is a hard game for me to play with Kyle because his answers are always wild, and he really enunciates them proudly. For some reason this can bother me, but he would only play if I didnt challenge all his answers. One round, the letter was H and one of the things was "excuses for being late for school" Kyle's answer was "he hadnt had his hiccup medication." *sigh*Oh well. One of my personal favourites was for the letter L and it was terms of endearment: lucious lovey-loo. I wouldnt mind if someone called me that.
I can eat soooo much. Right now everything is appealing, even kraft dinner sounds good to me, and I can eat enough to match Kyle to the point where he is stuffed and I feel like I still have room for dessert. This can also be described as a "hearty appetite" as it is in the expecting book. Being pregnant is fun.
Tonight we are going to a dinner group. Its something that was organized in our ward where groups of four couples (well there are some singles too)are randomly put together and you do dinner once a month. Everytime you take turns whose house it's at, and everyone brings an item for the meal. The Hosts prepare the main dish, and others bring vegetables, dessert, salad, drinks, what have you. So tonight is our first one with our new group (its supposed to help you get to know one another) Last round, they put all the young couples together, and we're already friends so it was just like hanging out with friends. This time its Kyle and I, and the rest are older couples. So we'll see. Im sure it will be nice to get to know these people, besides everyone always loves Kyle. He has an easy to get along with personality.
I miss fwuffs. Just knowing that they arent here makes me sad. Plus who's gonna play the piano so I can sing along? Will I never see those days again?!

IT MOVED!!!!
I felt my baby move for the first time two days ago. We were visiting our friends, Steve and Leah, and while sitting on the couch I felt something. I was unsure of whether or not it was the baby moving, so I didnt get too excited. But then, the next day (yesterday) It happened again, and now it's been moving lots. It's so exciting to me. It's a real baby!! Unfortunately, Andrea, I dont easily have access to a digital camera either, which is why it always takes me a while to get a picture up.
Yeah, so today is my third day off in a row, which has seemed to be a pattern. It looked like the rest of my week is pretty booked though, so that should be good. I went with Kyle to Victoria yesterday, because I didnt really have anything else to do. I got to see the showroom where Amay works and she also showed me their new place. Its cute and cozy and should be a lot of fun for them. It was fun hanging with Aimzors. She showed me all the pertuns granite and I showed her a funny cat video on the computer. All the way down and home from Victoria (we were in Dad's truck) Kyle listened to the Vinyl Cafe stories that Dad got from Laura. He likes them. The labour pains one came on that Laura showed to me. It was funny because Kyle can identify with it. He likes to think he's pregnant and has cravings and stuff like that.

Uhhh...what?
Last night was not a peaceful night. You see, I started out with a sore throat this week, maybe around sunday, in the morning I wake up and am croaky and cough a bit. By afternoon, it's mostly gone til the next morn. Well, last night it got progressively worse, where you can hardly swallow, and I kept waking up and having restless dreams, and never feeling comfortable. It really hurts today, a long with a headache, but that's it. Usually when I start getting a sore throat it means Im getting a cold. Weird.
Yesterday I gave Esther a ride to the doctor. She insisted she wouldnt be long inside so I came in with her. She was admitted in the office right away. She had made an appointment for Carmen too, but she left her out with me for the first part. Carmen had just awoke from a nap and was sitting pretty still on my lap, merely entertained by the new environment. Each person who sat down in the same area as us just loved her. So many comments on how cute she is, and her beautiful curls, and her pretty face, and how petite she is, and how darling, you get the point. Every SINGLE person. You know how usually in a doctor's office no one talks to eachother? (well thats my experience anyway) Not the case yesterday, everyone was so friendly and they all loved Carmen. Maybe that's the difference of having a baby. Of course everyone thought that she was mine, and I wished that I could take the credit (even if she doesnt look a thing like me ha ha) but no, Im just the auntie. She IS adorable, but Im also biased to Clarke babies.
Went to see the midwife today. That's always fun, because I get to see how much weight Im gaining and hear the heartbeat. She said that it sounds like it's happy. I hope it is, because I love it so much already, and I hope it can sense my love for it. Yeah maybe I sound corny but I cant help it. We had a nice talk. I like having a midwife. Im just so excited to have a baby. My very own baby.

Pappa said "Ann's hard pressed"
I miss Christmas eve already. So many laughs and good times. *sigh* Oh well. Life goes on. Its been a pretty slow week. I've only worked about two days (more like one day and two half days). Its really slow at the salon. Its nice to have time off, but not when it means no money, then its frusterating. Wouldnt have been so bad if Kyle had actually gone to work with Brent today. This morning Brent pulled up at our house at 7:30 to pick up Kyle. Kyle wasnt expecting him I guess. He didnt get a message Brent left. Anyway, Kyle's phone started ringing, and I nudged him and said your phone's ringing. He groaned but didnt budge. I repeated this procedure but got the same response. Not long after, my phone rang. I got out of bed and Kyle mumbled "where are you going?" "my phones ringing now" Most of you know that we dont have blinds or curtains and I was instantly blinded by the headlights to the truck. Also, I wasnt wearing anything on top but my garments, and i really hope Brent didnt get an unwanted show. Oops. Anyway, I didnt get to my phone on time, so I called brent back on Kyle's phone. I went back into the bedroom and gave Kyle the phone. It was really weird. Brent was telling Kyle that they had to go do an install. Kyle would ask questions like "why do we have to be there at nine?" and Brent would answer and then Kyle just started mumbling like he was struggling to say something, and all the would come out was jeeze, and well...It was frusterating. Finally a frusterated Brent said, nevermind, I'll just get Charly to help me. "ok" from Kyle and that was it. AHHH! I wanted him to go. Anyway, after that I was like "why didnt you go, you know we need the money?" He picked up the phone again, and I thought that he was going to call brent back, but he just stared at it blankly for a second and went back to sleep.
I was pretty much awake by that point because I was so tired the night before I went to bed at 9 ish. I got out of bed and prepared my primary lesson for tomorrow and then at about 8:30 I went back to my room and jumped on Kyle and informed him it was time to get up. He said "where'd you go?" "uhhh, I was in our house..." "Where'd you go?" "I got out of bed, because I couldnt get back to sleep after Brent came" "Brent came?" "YES! Dont tell me you dont remember talking to him on the phone." Yeah, he was asleep through the whole conversation. I was so confused. He's never done that before...
Anyway, not much is new or exciting in my life. Im still addicted to Gilmore Girls and Kyle is totally hooked. He used to make fun of me for watching it. Having a lot of time off work has made it all the more tempting.
better get ready for work.

Agreed with Addlebuns
Acker-the-backer-mone was right, its time for another post. A Happy New Year to all of you. I think its going to be a great year and Im excited. Of course I have obvious reasons to be excited- its the year of my baby. 2006. Weird. Weird to think of what it will be like to be a person born in that year. I was born in a totally different century. Anyway, I had a nice New Years time.
We drove up to Courtenay with Steve and Leah, to have new years with her and her family. It was a fun little exhibition. We stopped at walmart and m&m meats for some wingy and other treats on the way. We actually didnt end up eating them though...Once we got there, I felt a little overwhelmed and shy and out of place. Kyle and Steve went downstairs to play on the game cube right away, and Leah was busy taking care of Lindy all the time that there were times when I was left to fend for myself, and I felt awkward. I have to at least have one person I know to feel comfortable. Her family was friendly and nice though. Lots of aunts, uncles and a few cousins. Once we started playing games, I felt more at ease and less shy. The real Sarah came out, I had nothing to hide. I learned some new games and they were fun. I felt like we just kept playing game after game after game. I'd look at my watch thinking we must be close to new years and realize we still had about three hours. Kyle and Steve didnt stay downstairs forever and they joined in the games. It was sort of split up. The older aunts and parents played their own games, and the younger aunts and cousins and us played our games. Perhaps thats what made it feel less daunting. We went to bed at around two-ish I was exhausted by that point and it was nice to fall asleep, I was so comfortable in Kyle's arms, and that doesnt happen every night.
We slept in quite late and had a yummy egg mc muffin (homemade) brunch and prepared to go home. I was sort of sad it was over so soon. We parted ways with Steve and Leah in Parksville, and stayed at Ann's house until it was time for dinner. We watched The Ice Princess with her. Kyle and her had never seen it. I quite enjoyed it the second time around. Got choked up at the end, and I think I did the last time too. I was expecting Kyle to find it a little corny, but afterwards he said "that was a good movie" I said "yeah, I got choked up at the end" and mentioned something about how it was even easier to do while pregnant. But Kyle said "yeah, I did a little too." I was surprised. Kyle gets choked up? That doesnt happen. Well according to him it does a lot, and its not visual outwardly. ha ha.
I have been getting addicted to my Gilmore Girls season. In the back of my mind I always want to watch more. Its amazing to me how much Rory has changed since the first season, when she's so shy about boys and sort of plain looking, pretty still, but a little plain. Unfortunately, when I opened the case for the first time one of the discs was loose. The way it's set up is, its like a clear plastic book, with a dvd on each page. Well it turned out, the one that was loose wouldnt play because of scratches. So I took it back, a little worried they wouldnt exchange it because it was already opened and I didnt have a receipt. Well that wasnt a problem luckily, and so I went home with a new one quite happy and content with myself. I opened the new one to discover that THREE were loose, and all three of them had even worse scratches than the first!!! How frusterating! While, yes the clear plastic book thing DOES look cool, the plastic part that goes in the middle to hold the dvd in place wouldnt grip the dvd's well enough and once they're loose, they scrape against it, and it makes ugly mean scratches. This time Im going to open it in the store and make sure they're all ok. Enough nonsense.
