I really wish this worked in the real world. I have been having some annoying backaches recently and my midwife notes they aren’t likely to get any better.

Well since I’m pregnant and with Dan’s new job we aren’t going to get to NYC before the baby is born. So we won’t get to do our normal broadway play visit probably for at least a year or two (sigh). However, Wicked is apparently coming to Baltimore. So we got tickets. I went to get tickets on the first day they were avaliable but the seats were restricted view so I decided to wait a few days to get better seats. I apparently waited too long, and when I went back to ticketmaster on Sunday it appears all the Saturday evening shows were sold out, along with the Saturday and Sunday afternoon shows I checked. Fortunately there were seats left on Thursday Jan 25th, the evening show then. They aren’t the best seats but they are still Orchestra and they actually should work out well because they are aisle seats which is good for me since I will be 6+ months pregnant by then so if I need to get up for the bathroom I won’t disturb others during the show.

So we got our Wicked tickets which is nice and on a decent day. I can’t wait to see it again, we loved it when we went up over New Years last year (this year) and saw it on Broadway. It definately was high on our lists to see again, unlike Spamalot which neither of us were that impressed with.

I’m hoping that a few other shows will be hitting Baltimore or DC summer/fall 2007 so Dan and I can see at least one more show next year.

So I haven’t posted much recently. Mainly because there hasn’t been a ton going on. I mean we’ve had various things happening, but nothing extremely exciting or such.

Dan started his new job on October 2nd and seems to be enjoying it. The few downsides to it, being he can’t work from home yet, probably not till it is perm rather then temp, so he missed my last midwife appointment, which wasn’t huge but still. Other problem being since he is temp right now he doesn’t get paid when he has federal holidays off which means he has to work his 40 hours on the other 4 days, which kinds of sucks and means we aren’t going down to my parents for Thanksgiving since he has to work the Friday after Thanksgiving. Oh well, will be the second time in the past 11 years we haven’t had Thanksgiving with my parents, and the other time was back when I was in Israel. No clue what we’re going to do instead, probably either go to his parents or down to my Aunt Mary’s.

Babywise everything is going well, not much different, I have my next doctor’s appointment on Friday, I should get to hear the heartbeat again which will be nice. Everything seems to be going well though I should probably be eating more dairy for calcium still. I’ll update this weekend or next week about the appointment. Should have the big Ultrasound sometime in November, I’m hoping for the 10th since Dan will be home for Veteran’s Day then anyways and it will make it easier for him to come.

Housewise, Dan has to put the border up in the baby’s room still, but other then that it is finished being painted. We need to buy the stuff to do the closet for all three upstairs rooms, maybe this weekend or next weekend. Dan’s also painted K’s room and done most of the trim work as well, we went with a purpleish/blue color with yellow trim in there it looks nice. The contractor came out yesterday so he can give us an estimate on some of the other housework that needs to be done. We are redoing two of the bathrooms, the first floor half bath and the upstairs main bath. Dan was recaulking the upstairs bath and found that the tile was loose so we have to have them retile it, and since they will be here we decided to see how much it would cost for them to retile the floors as well and put in the new fixtures and cabnets. Hopefully we’ll hear how much the damage will be next week. We still need to find a landscaper as well since Claire’s brother apparently only works in Towson area. We’ll get to that eventually I’m sure.

Other then that we’ve had a couple of semi busy weekends, last weekend we had a Halloween party to go to on Saturday which was fun. The week before that one of Dan’s friend’s from his old job was having a small get together for his birthday so we went to that. Amusingly enough he is college friends with our neighbors (3 doors down) so we got to hang out with them as well. Next Saturday we have another Halloween party at our neighbor’s house. So it should be nice, but definately a busy few weeks. Hopefully we’ll get to cleaning the house again this weekend or next.

Other then that not too much going on here, other then this obnoxious cold I’ve had for over a week.

So this weekend we went down to Richmond for my cousin’s Christening. It was nice, got to play with the baby some and see a lot of my relatives. Overall had a good time. The Christening went well and everyone had a good time overall.

Monday Dan started his new job. He didn’t do much work on Monday (well none really), but he did get to sit through welcome to your new job meetings. Yesterday he didn’t have meetings but he still didn’t get to do much since his main computer is not set up right at the moment so he can’t log in. His laptop works but it is windows based so it doesn’t really help him at all except for checking email. So he got to spend yesterday surfing the web mainly. Hopefully he will be able to get his computer working today, probably just in time to leave.

K’s Bordatello (or whatever it is called) shot ran out on Saturday, well sort of, day camp requires it every 6 months unlike the vet which requires it once a year, so when I brought him in for daycamp on Monday I learned this. Figured okay we’ll get him a vet appointment during the week. Unfortunately the Vet at our petsmart doesn’t have an opening till November 7th. Which so isn’t happening. Apparently they don’t have a Vet working there right now, sigh. So we got him an appointment on Friday at Arundal Mills Mall’s Petsmart and he’ll be back in camp on Monday. Which will be nice since he’s going to be hyper by tomorrow and this weekend will be a pain with him not having his second daycamp session this week.

Otherwise not much else going on.
