Such an exciting day {doctor visit}

First of all I have to say how excited I am that we got to hear the baby's heartbeat today with the regular old Doppler! I am not excited about the routine vaginal cultures they did, but the heartbeat made up for it! I feel like I can breath a little. I mean here I am 13 1/2 weeks and we heard the heartbeat. Now if I can just make it through cold and flu season without contracting H1N1 and dying--all will be awesome!

We ran a few errands. My mother in law is sewing little witch costumes (skirts and capes) for the girls and so we went to Target and bought little Halloween tees for them to wear. Then we went to the Halloween store and got spray for their hair and little toy brooms. Then we went to the insurance agency and signed the paperwork and wrote the check for the builder's risk insurance required for the construction loan. Fun Stuff.

All in the pouring rain. It's been so long since we had this much rain it actually shocked me every time we would leave a location and it was still raining.

And if you are bored with all my humdrum, here's a card I made last night. PLEASE, if you know a way to attach vellum without hardware, that doesn't show, feel free to pass that info along to me. Because I am clueless.


Hope you all are having a wonderful day! I know I am...I heard the heartbeat, did I mention?

yay, there is nothing like hearing that little heartbeat for the very first time is there? Sure there is, holding that little one! I'm so thrilled for you, Mere! Prayers to avoid sickness!
Your card is fab! love the vellum and I use Glue Dots vellum when I attach it. Doesn't show through.
