My New Best Friend

As many of you have heard Corey and I talk about Bailey being very protective of me even before we new I was pregnant. He has to be right at my side at ALL times. Corey no longer can sit on the couch due to lack of room, (see photo) and Bailey is now trying to take over Corey’s side of the bed too. I now get to shower with him either in the bathroom with me or outside the door crying. If he falls a sleep and I leave the room the poor dog about has a heart attach trying to find me. All of this is very sweet but he thinks he needs to be on my lap all the time and he is NO lap dog. I am glad he is loving me so much but this is going to be a really long pregnancy with all 107lbs of him at my side. In return at least Sadi has been giving Corey lots of love and attention or I might have a depressed husband on my hands too. These old dogs always amaze me!

Pretty Boy

Bailey went to the groomer to get his hair cut today!

Happy Birthday Dykstra's

March was the Big 30 for both Tom and Tracy. We all went out to help them celebrate by starting out at Buffalo Wild Wings with the feather bowling room. After that we headed over to the Wiskey River Saloon for some live country music and some great people watching. Welcome to the 30 club Dykstra's we love you both.

Florida

We had a wonderful vacation to Florida. Our Condo was great and very spacious and the Pool was amazing. The first day at the Pool we had the entire pool to ourselves and the other days we had a few people there but didn't have to fight for a chair.

Thursday night we went to the Dog Track. As you can see below we are still smiling. I won $51 on the 1st race we saw and none of us ever won again. We broke even by the time we left with the other 7 races we bet on and the beer Corey drank. Could of been worse I guess.

Saturday we spent the day at Disney World. I had not been to Disney since I was 10 years old so I was very excited to go back. And yes if you do the Math it was 20 years ago.

I didn't exactly follow all of the rules on the warning signs. This one was for the Safari and as I was told by Corey "your everyday driving is worse than going on the Safari ride"

Was very glad I went on this, it was great to see all of the animals so close up.

Magic Kingdom was also a ton of fun I remembered some things from when I was little.

The Castle was awesome to see of course.

We went on a few rides here too. I didn't think I went through the haunted castle when I was little but once we went inside it all came back to me.

I have to say it was much scarier when I was 10.

Sunday we went to a Tigers spring training game.

Verlander Pitched the first few innings not that it helped. Tigers loss 0-2 and had NO hits. I have never been to a no hitter game but was hoping if I saw a no hitter it would be with the Tigers pitching not hitting.

Monday was a cloudy day so we headed over to Universal Studios city walk. This place was very cool. It was free to get in (expect parking of course) and it had all kinds of shops and resturants.

We had dinner at Margaritaville of course.

This was one of Jimmy's real plane's

Overall it was a great trip. We had tons of fun and did LOTS of things. I have million photo's and could keep posting them for hours, but this gave you the highlights of our trip.

My new office.

Check out my new office. Ha! My computer took a dump this week or at least I blew up the wireless card and my computer science major of a husband claims his "hours are 8-5" Our modem is in the spare bedroom since we have cable run there and it is next to our actual office but with out a wireless card here is where I sit. I will say it is not so much fun to Facebook stalk when you can't lounge on the couch in front of the TV. According to Corey I may just need a new NIC card and I will be good as gold to sit on the couch again but if it is attached to the mother board I am screwed and need a new computer. As these terms mean nothing to me I am hoping Corey will be willing to work some overtime and take care of this problem soon so I can be back to relaxin' and checkin out what everyone else is up to via the web again soon.

1st Doctor Appt.

So today I had my first doctors appointment. I was lucky enough to need my yearly exam as well today. YEAH! I always hate that appointment but I have to say being pregnant and needing it didn't make things any better. She checked my uterus and all is looking good, It has not flipped yet (who new it needed to, these are just things my girlfriend forgot to mention) After chatting a bit with the Doc and mentioning some SERIOUS pain I had Sunday morning while rolling over in bed she laughed and said oh that was your uterus trying to flip not to worry it is normal and the pain is much much worse when it finally does flip. All I could think was GREAT can't wait for my uterus to start doing this crazy crap. But after all of this talk about my body parts while wearing a paper gown my doctor said my reward for needed the not so fun stuff today was going to be my first ultra sound! So here baby Kragt is.....

Pink or Blue?????

As many of you know by now Corey and I are PREGNANT! Our due date is October 7th. We have lots to look forward to in the months to come and can't wait for all of the help and advice from those of you who all ready have children. So far I have been very blessed by feeling good. No morning sickness or nausea yet. We are crossing our fingers I am going to skip this all together. I have been extremely tired and have been sleeping a ton, even more than normal for me and as many of you know I LOVE my sleep. This has been a wonderful process for us to go through so far. We can even joke about my pregnant alter ego that Corey has so nicely named "Helly". Helly has not made many appearance yet but I am sure as the days and months go by and my belly grows she will. I can't wait to keep you updated on how the next few months go. My first Doctors appointment is next week!!!!!
