Well my daughter went to the Dr. for her check up Tuesday and came home with the news that she is indeed 10 1/2 weeks pregnant...expected arrival time is Oct. 30. Bad news was that they couldn't hear a heartbeat...she wasn't concerned because the Dr. explained to her that it was fairly common at that stage of pregnancy for that to happen. She is scheduled back in 2 weeks to try again. While she might not be concened..I AM. I didn't let on but the return visit in 2 weeks is out of the ordinary at this stage and scares me. I know that things happen in the early stages of pregnancy quite often but it's going to be devastating if there is something wrong here and there is nothing I can do but worry now for 2 weeks. Meanwhile she goes on about making plans for the lil one..planning the nursery, trying on different names etc etc. Another twist...it was 5 years ago at this time that we found out that my son's first expected lil one was not alive.....Life can be such a cruel bitch.

lol I wonder why I can think of all kinds of things I want to remember to write down in this blog...but when I get here they all slip from my mind.

College Station (home of Texas A & M) sponsers a series of free music concerts every spring in the ampitheater there... take your bug repellant, your lawn chairs or blankets, munchies and a cooler..sit back and enjoy. It really is nice..they have a variety of music styles. Last week was the first of the season....cover bands, one Eagles and one Fleetwood Mac. Neither being a huge favorite of mine...I would still have gone and enjoyed except for the b-day party Sat. This week is the Bellamy Bros. and next week is the symphony. Also performing this year will be Buckwheat Zydeco, Johnny Dee and the Rocket 88's and a few local bands....it should be a good series and it's really nice sitting out under the stars listening.
