Hi, my name is Colleen Salter...

and it's been 10 days since my last blog. My life is some what boring this week as I have been trying to go to bed at 9pm each night and the baby decides to wake up at 10pm and then I am in the bathroom at 10:01pm, 11pm, 2am, 4am, snack at 5am, and then there's the alarm 7am.

So my cousin Alyssa in Hawaii is having a rough week. Check out her blog, I have her name as a link and let her know that you sympathize and give her something good that is going on with you. I tried to post a comment on your website Alyssa and it says that I am not a team member so I can't. What's up with that?

My good thing is that it is Friday!! I am leaving at 130pm (one hour) to go home and take a nap. This week has been bad for not getting enough sleep but I guess that's what happens, or at least that's what everyone keeps telling me. Then we are going to a reception tonight with a family dinner starting at 430. I plan on getting a little dancing in tonight too since I haven't done that since my reception in Grunthal. We'll see how my moves are since I have this belly that keeps me slightly off balance most of the time.

Yesterday I went to Walmart at lunch to buy the 5th season of Dawson's Creek on dvd and managed to get the last copy. I really enjoy this show, so laugh if you want, I don't mind. Then I was looking to find a gift for our new niece (two months ago, I'm a bit slow on the gift thing) but wasn't able to decide on anything. I did end up buying the first thing for the baby. It's a really cute, soft baby blue blanket with a puppy dog on it. (I'm hoping for a boy if you didn't already know) Geoff's reaction was that my dad had seen the pictures we took of me and told us that we were having a boy. That would be wonderful but he hasn't seen the pictures yet because I don't have them yet to send. But wouldn't that be nice to know that we are having a boy!! I figure that a girl can still have a blue blanket. She might be a little off at first since we always refer to the baby in the male sense but it can't do any permanent damage, I hope. But if I were to buy a pink blanket that work for a boy. They can't get away with carrying around a pink blanket because that could do some permanent damage and we don't need that. :) (just joking)

I also found a really nice diaper bag that matches the car seat and stoller. But what do I buy now and what do I wait for later on. Not really sure so, for now we'll just hold off on buying too much. Although we did go shopping last night for our new bathroom. Geoff has very expensive and nice taste so we'll see where that leads. I'm really excited to have it all done I just don't like spending all of the money. We will post before and after pictures of the bathroom so that you can see how it turns out. I've decided that since it's only 3 weeks until it's all new that there really isn't any point in cleaning the bathroom anymore. I cleaned it at the beginning of the month so that should be good enough. The tub's been around since the 70's so how much cleaner can it get anyway.

Countdown for work, 44 more days!!

Have a great weekend and if anyone remembers things that they wish that they would have had or done when their baby was first born let me know. I can use any advice.
