Worry Wart

So here I sit on Halloween night.

I sit here somewhere between totaly angst and being greatly annoyed.

Steve went camping with 5 other guys on Thursday night. They went to the Boundary Waters loaded up with loads of supplies, canoes, whiskey - you know, the camping essentials.

They were supposed to come back today....but I haven't heard from them.

No word. Out of cell phone range.

Dark. Cold.

This is when I zoom into super-hyper-worry mode. My imagination is VERY fruitful and I've been trying to distract myself all evening with watching various things on television, writing wedding thank yous, handing out candy to trick-or-treaters (we had 17 tonight - pretty good considering it's only in the 20's) and well, that's about it. I spend a lot of time zoning out and trying not to think.

I'm sure it just got late today and they decided - heck, it's getting late - we might as well just stay another night. But DAMN I would really like to know that. I feel like the wifey nag calling his cell phone about a million times. I even left a message on his friend's cell phone. I can't help it. I'm a worrier by nature.This is just sucky.

His Mom has called me about a million times (as well) asking if I've heard. She's getting really worried and that doesn't help my nerves a bit.

*sigh*

I have had better Halloweens....

I'm sure all is well. Probably just some minor traffic problem or something. Keep us posted. Hugs....

Hugs from me as well. I'm a worrier, too. It is probably something minor and you'll laugh about it later.

Ask Pete about his camping trip earlier this year and the 15 messages he had from me when he got back into cell phone range. I chose to think that it demonstrates how much I love people when I get this way :)

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

The Screaming

Someday I'll stop posting about my daughter's inability to sleep & the screaming. But today's not the day! New developments from the house of NO SLEEP. Now instead of going to bed awesomely on a very regular basis, she NEVER goes to bed! Not only does she NOT go to bed, she still wakes up in the middle of the night! She still will not sleep in her crib and she still screams for hours and hours. It's getting worse! I guess be careful what you complain about, eh? Last night she cried, no, screamed, from the time we put her down (just after eight) until almost 10 o'clock. Steve or I would go in every 15 minutes or so to "comfort her" (fat lot that did) and she was incredibly CLINGLY, grabbing on for dear life. What is going on? Finally nearish to ten I got her up and brought her downstairs WHERE she was happy as a lark. Playing with Beavis, climbing on us, requesting Baby Einstein videos (declined). I was exhausted and wanted to go to bed. So much for any...
