hello everyone!

Well after much stressing, the doctor appt went ok. i was hoping she would tell me i need to quit working all together cause it causes too much stress...but obviously that didn't happen. boo.

jeff and i are watching the baby kick everyday and we're starting to work on the nursery. i need ideas and cute stores to check out that have some unique bedding or something cause i don't want a theme. i don't want lady bugs or pooh cause that's all i will get for her nursery. not that i don't like those themes but i'm not a themed person.

tomorrow I am 24 weeks and the baby is the size of an ear of corn. which makes me think i am going to give birth to pop corn.

today a 13 year old girl and her mom (who's a regular guest of mine) came in to get their hair cut and the girl was carrying a doll. apparently she had to have this fake baby for the day. it petrified me. it wouldn't stop crying. a flipping DOLL. it had sensors in the diapers to tell if you have changed it. sensors in the bottle to tell if you have fed it. sensors in it's back to tell if you burped it....sensors all over that could tell if you abused it!! I almost had an anxiety attack! all of this stemming from a damn doll.

ok...i had to rant. i have had a long day and need to try to get a full night of sleep with out my own baby kicking me in the tummy all night. :)

Beach 2 Battleship FULL IRON MAN!

OK Guys...I am officially lost my mind. I registered for the Beach to Battleship FULL Ironman Distance Triathlon. It will be on

Nov 7, 2009. This is a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile marathon run. Each event is back to back on one day, and in that order. Don is registered too...its in NC if any NC Hostetler's would be interested in Jock Strapping (Atheltic Supporters) that weekend.....

New Years Day 10K

Hey guys!

Yesterday Don and I ran a 10K (6.28 miles) in Leesburg, VA in preparation for our Adventure Race, Jan 17. We ran the whole race together because the adventure race requires you to stay within 100 feet of your teammate(s) at all times! Attached is a photo we took when we got back to the house. It was a great way to start 2009!

Happy New Year!

Sarah.
