LOL Seeing that word spelled like that almost always makes me smile :) 'Specially combined with a picture of a surprised looking owl!
Anywho! Okay, the Harry Potter dreams can stop now!!! I haven't read any of the books since Friday or Saturday and I can't stop dreaming about them while I'm sleeping! I reread the series when I had decided that the current series at the time wasn't good enough to finish and wanted to read something comforting and familiar. What better than Harry Potter? :) I loved rereading all the books and taking my time with them. I started noticing things I hadn't noticed before and found myself reliving the movies while reading. I even watched movies 5 and 6 before I read the books just so I wouldn't be ruining the movies by reading first. Which was a good thing!! Seeing as I haven't read the books since the last one came out, I had actually found myself being even more enchanted by those scenes than I thought I would be. There were even a few scenes I forgot were coming LOL.
Year 6 and 7 were the most fun to be had, imho, because I had only ever read each book once (maybe twice for year 6?) so when it came to rereading those two stories, it was like reading them for the first time ♥ Which was great except I couldn't put them down until I exhausted myself!! Which may be where the dreams are coming into play.... lol
As for the dreams, I've either been dreaming about parts in the books or making up little pieces here and there that I thought were in the books or I thought SHOULD have been in the books. And by books, I really only mean year 7. For some reason I had the most problems with that year.
And I still say that the epilogue was poorly written...
In other news, I'm going to be asking for opinions today at Physical Therapy if I can stop going soon. They're early in the morning and are becoming an inconvenience. They cut into my family time in the morning as well as my sleep!! I'm pregnant and am already a mom so I'm already losing a lot of sleep at the moment! I am also feeling just about back to normal. I'm waking up with only slight stiffness and if I sit for too long, my back muscles start to feel pulled. That's really not a bad thing because it's making it so I don't sit in my pc chair for hours on end lol. Our insurance, while fantastic, is only covering a percentage of these visits and if I remember correctly, it's $100 not covered. Per visit! I'd like to not crawl deeply back into further debt thank you very much.
We're very excited that Tia is on Spring Break and flying back to Washington to visit for the week :) It's only been since Christmas that we last saw her but she is such a delight to have around. That and with as many kooks are in Jeromi's side of the family, he NEEDS to interact more often with the ones that are good lol! She flies in just before noon and we'll all meet up for dinner tonight at the Teriyaki Wok in Auburn. It's a fantastic little place to eat. They are almost a little whole in the wall but have managed to be around for many years. They remember everyone who has ever been there, the staff is so friendly and polite so the atmosphere is very relaxing. The only music they play overhead is the local christian station at low volume. As a Christian this means a LOT to me. It's too often you find yourself enjoying the staff and food at any eatery and suddenly the music just ruins everything. A Subway here in Auburn lost our service forever because at 11 in the morning they were blaring rap music with disgusting lyrics. Jeromi and I were the only ones with the nerve to complain and were promptly sworn at and threatened. Sadly, the only worker on duty was the nephew of the guy who owned that particular Subway and chuckled at us when we told him of his nephew's antics. "He just one crazy guy. What can I tell you?" We've never been back once we found out the guy was never removed from that store.
I also have 2 different type of doctor appointments this week. Tomorrow bright and EARLY I have to head over to Valley to see a Genetic Conseltationist (goodness, is that even a word? lol) regarding the different strings of Muscler Dystrophy that is running along my dad's side of the family. I know next to nothing about MD and am curious as to what the hospital can tell me. I've heard some things from friends and family, but it never feels quite as justified as what an actual Doctor can tell me, you know? I'm very glad to say I'm not nervous, just rather excited. My mother was adopted and has never been in contact with her biological mother. As upset about it as she's been her whole life, I don't think she realizes that it impacts me as well. Just like her I have a whole half side to me that I know nothing about. I don't know if MD is carried on my mother's side, I don't know if cancer runs through it as well... I don't even know my background from that side of me. It's so hard to answer important health questions when I only have my mother to use as an example. And she's not the BEST example to use, strictly speaking...
The second appointement I have is on Wednesday and is just a regular ol' check up on the baby :) I should be able to start hearing it's heartbeat either this month or next and will be getting more pictures of our little one via ultrasound. As much as I love each visit and finding out how healthy our little one is, I'm most looking forward to our May 17th appointment. That's when we find out if we're having a boy or a girl :) We are, of course rooting for healthy, however we would like a girl this time lol. I won't be disappointed in another boy. I'm already used to being the only female in the family so adding another boy is just fine :) We have a girl's name picked out (it was the same one we liked from our first pregnancy) and a few names in mind for a boy.
Speaking of pregnancy related stuff, This Saturday I start my 13 week AND start my 2nd trimester :) 1/3 of the way down, woohoo! ^.^
I hear kiddo moving around so I'm gonna go get some breakfast started. Have a great week you guys! :)
