Well here is the new addition to the Hibbard family! Meet Benjamin. He was born January, 27/07 at approx.12:30pm. Weighing 5lbs61/2ozs and a month premature. He was definately ready to come into the world with a very short labour for Mommy Catherine. She is doing well and all the family is ecstatic. I actually cried when I first saw him. So delicate and wonderful! Chris and I are still in our glory be an aunt and uncle. Funny how I just blogged the other day saying how excited I was and now he is here. At least for the baby shower I will know the sex. Way easier to buy that way!

Anyways dont have a whole lot to say other than I am feeling like absolute hell with a nasty cold. Didnt get off the couch for the last two days. Ohh well at least I am off so I can get better!

Talk to everyone soon..................

Hello friends! Didn't wait so long in between posts this time. Starting to get excited about becoming an Auntie Melissa at the end of February. Chris' Brother and wife are expecting then. Her shower is coming up and I have so many things I want to buy for them. Babies are so exciting, especially when they are someone elses. That way I can give them back when they need to be changed................just kidding!
Talked to Christy tonight and we set plans for me to visit her in Toronto, Feb,10. Looking forward to doing some cool shopping maybe visiting my Sis Steph while I'm there! Haven't been since last year I think . With all the weddings and shit , it was hard to get away. Gives me something to look forward to being off at the moment!
Still no word on the surgeon appointment. How hard is it to pencil my name in, I don't get it. Ohh well.
Unfortunately I have a cold right now. No idea where I picked this one up.Feeling yucky though! Nice to be at home so I can just sleep it off or sweat it out.
Well hope everyone has a great weekend. We dont have much planned! Might help Chris' brother paint his new house. Will post again soon..........................................Talk to everyone soon!

Okay here I am blogging at 2:02 am on a very early Sunday morning. I wasn't tired tonight so I figured I should catch everyone up on things.
As far as my back goes, I am currently waiting for an appointment with a surgeon. Hopefully I can get in soon and get all this resolved!
Chris starts his new job in Tavistock on Monday. I know he is nervous but I am so happy for him that he was able to overcome his fear of change. Nobody likes it, but sometimes it needs to be done. He is so good at what he does and is the hardest worker I know!
Still planning on moving either March 1st or April 1st, depending on my landlord. After 6 years in this hell hole you think she would give me a break. Oh well "c'est la vie"!
Tonight we met up with Jolene, Andrew, Christy and Pat(Jolenes brother) at Bentleys. I am so glad that I met someone that my friends approve of. I realize everytime I hang out with them, how much I missed them when I was in a past relationship. I found a quote that I really liked so I wanted to share it with everyone............"The greatest gift you can give to someone is your friendship, because you are giving them a portion of your life that you will never get back".
So this is just a little Thank you to that special group of friends that have been there for me through a lot!
Well I think that is pretty much all I have for tonight. Maybe I should try going to bed soon. Talk to everyone soon!

It has been a very long time since I blogged so this one might be a long one. Christmas is now over and done. I am quite glad actually. Can only take so much of the holidays. My New Years resolution was to use the Elliptical trainer that I bought with my Christmas money, as much as possible. So far , so good. I had a CT scan done on my back right after Christmas and just the other day I got the results. Turns out I have a bulged disc and a herniated disc at the same time. Ouch.........................That sucks a lot cause it looks like I may be off work again to recover. My doctor is trying to get me in to a Spine surgeon in London to decide whether or not they are going to operate. Doc doesnt recommend it because it is very complex being so close to the spine. She doesnt think I have any other option at this point though! Physio just isnt helping me.
I think I had a bad start to 2007 after getting hit in the forehead with a champagne cork at about 12:02 New Years Day. another OUCH..........Havent heard any good news yet this year. Ohh well it juist verifies that my blog title is accurate!
Chris and I are moving as of March first most likely. Much bigger place with potential to buy! Old farm house that even has a dumb waiter its so big! I hate moving but excited at this opportunity. I will be able to have everyone over next year for Christmas possibly.

I think that is pretty much all I have to tell everyone right now and "no" I'm not pregnant! lol
