TC (tax credit - per Bill) is apparently still kicking and growing. The heartbeat today sounded strong and healthy. Not much other excitement in the visit. I had some questions and that's what these visits are good for, so got those settled. I decided to hold off on getting my flu shot for a few days so I can get over whatever it is I have now. I seem to be on the mend; just to the nagging coughing stage.
Bill leaves for his big trip tomorrow, so it will be eerily peaceful around the house. Not to worry, I have plenty to keep me busy.
Bon voyage!

Green Bay Packers decor sneaks in
Here's a cute pic I wanted to share with you. Is this not funny or what??? I can't believe how much stuff is out there for GB babies. This one was on Ebay.

Under the weather, but back on top soon!
Patience pays to those of you who actually are checking in and reading this blog!
Not much in the way of the pregnancy has been happening as of late. I go for my next checkup Monday, 22nd. I've had a pretty bad bug of some sort the last few days. I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant that it seems to be getting me down so much and just sticking with me or what. It's primarily been a sore throat, low grade fever, body aches, some sneezing, coughing and a stuffed up head. I suppose it's a cold. I finally caved in to taking some Tylenol Cold (dr. recommended) on Friday and today. I think I'm on the mend.
Bill has been nice enough to let me rest by taking back to his old bed in our spare room. Either that, or he's trying to keep from getting sick. He gets to take off to a nice little trip next week to Louisville, KY for a work expo. This is the one that usually puts them up in a nice hotel. This time it's the Galt House, which is a nice hotel downtown by the river. http://www.galthouse.com/Home.aspx They are also going to take some of their free time to visit Churchill Downs. ---Must be nice!
Career Update
My volunteer/internship with Meet the Geeks (www.meetthegeeks.net) is going pretty well. I haven't actually got to do any work on their site yet, but I'm told I will soon. I've been working on optimizing scanned images for this journal that was in print and distribution back in the mid to late 80's - the Katuah Journal. I won't bore you with it, but if you're interested, you can Google it and see what it's about. They are wanting to put images of all their past journals online and begin a new discussion forum on it. I've actually picked up on and learned quite a bit so far.
I also mentioned to Ty that I really needed to focus on getting paid projects coming in and getting my portfolio built. He is willing to work with me on both and has already been true to his word in letting me bid on a project on Friday. I'll be starting with it soon and be able to include it on my portfolio as well. What I'm getting out of all of this has been leaps and bounds beyond my other internship or any job I've had. Plus, I get to do most everything from home! :) Great gas mileage!
That's it in a nutshell.
...until Monday!

Announcement to Marcia and Alan
I got to thinking last night after I went to bed that I haven't included the story on how we broke the news to Bill's parents. So, not to leave anyone out, here's how it went down.
We were once again basing it around a "birthday celebration", celebrating Marcia and Alan's birthdays that fell in August. We took them out to dinner as we wanted to tell them before the rest of the fam - which were all coming in that weekend for the Hot August Night Montford 5K race that Bill and Mike were in. I did the 1K Fun Walk.
Bill had cleverly bought Marcia and Alan "grandparent" birthday cards and we had them open them simultaneously after we ordered our food. For a split second or two, they were confused by the "grandparent" part, but quickly caught on when they read the signature 'Bill, Rhonda and 04-10-08'. We knew Marcia would cry, so we included a tissue in with her card. It was put to good use. They were very excited and surprised.
We told them they had to keep it under wraps for a while and you all know that just about killed Marcia. But she managed through and got the green light last night to tell the world.
I believe everyone is now up to speed. The only ones not to know are some family in East TN. So that means today is back to reality and I've got to quit posting and get some work done!
