Lonely or just bored??

I usually can find things to do throghout the day while Mike is at work, clean the house, get something for the nursery, read books, etc but yesterday I had nothing to do, no money to go buy anything and Mike was out of town all day and all night so I had to find things to do the entire night also. I feel like such a loser these days! hehe. Everyone keeps telling me to just enjoy this time off and relax, I'm trying and I feel like if I get any more relaxed I'm going to stop breathing. :) I'm sure I'll regret not enjoying this time off more after I have a job again, but right now I'm so ready to be working again or have something to do! I went from taking 15 hours of school and working almost full time to ABSOLUTELY nothing! Atleast after June, Dylan will be here to keep me busy for the first 6 weeks or whatever until I find a job (hopefully!!). So last night I watched all my shows. That was about the only good thing is that I could watch all of my shows in peace without Mike making comments in the background about how dumb each of them are and making fun of the people. My Monday shows aren't as bad as the rest of the week I guess but he still makes comments about them. Because his adult swim CARTOONS he still watches every night are NOTHING to make fun of!! hehe. He keeps saying I should watch things that I learn something from. I'm like, I do learn things, I learn how to dance and I learn how rich snobby kids act from Gossip Girl, and I learn what NOT to do if I ever get on a reality show. hehe. And what does he learn from his cartoons anyways?? How to keep the bad guys away with this magical sword? right. hehe. He has been making me watch the new show Planet Earth. I have to say it's pretty amazing and I am interested in it, but after about an hour I just wish I was watching to see if Grey and McDreamy will actually be together this week and if Izzy is really dying! hehe.

Anyways, I made it through the night, slept on the couch as usual. I can't help it, the boogie man sleeps in the back rooms while MIke is gone, so I have to sleep out there to be able to escape in a good amount of time. haha, ok maybe I do watch too much tv!!! :) Mike comes home tonight so I"m happy.

Our babies

here are a few pics of our babies right now. :) We take them to this field by our house where they are building a bunch of new houses. There is a pond thing and they just run and play and have a good ol time. :)

Pics from our weekend

Here are some more pics that we took over the weekend. Here are also some pics of the wall Mike painted next to Dylan's bedding. You can't see too well what it will all look like, but it's just a preview. :) Then we took a few pics before we went out to eat and went shopping around at the outside mall thing. Enjoy. :)

Good ol Monday

Man, this morning I had to take Mike to school because, oh nevermind long story, but it so made me miss having to get out of the house and go to school or work and being in traffic. I know, sounds crazy, but I got to listen to my morning show I hadn't listened to in forever and it just made me miss my morning rituals. I am SO excited for Dylan to be here, but I'm also excited about getting back into the life of having a job. :) Ask me how I feel about it 3 months after I start working again and I'm sure it will be different, but that's how I feel now. hehe. Mike is headed out of town for the night to TN, I hate it when he has to go out of town. It's only for one night though atleast and I have 3 dogs to protect me.

This weekend was good. Friday we went to Chili's. That used to be our regular go to restaurant on the weekends. But I knew it would happen and it did, we wore ourselves out on Chili's. I'm sure my family is thankful for that. But, we went back to see what was going on in our old hood and see if anything new and exciting was on the menu or anything. The bartender recognized us, how sad is that. haha. He said "long time no see". Mike and I are weird, we always wanted to find a place where we would walk in and it would be like "NORM" and everyone would know us. We haven't gotten to that point anywhere, but it made us smile knowing he knew us. haha. We need to get out more. Anyways, so we enjoyed ourselves, I sipped on my water while Mike had a few beers. We have done pretty good lately about not getting our usual chips and salsa everywhere either lately. We always felt so greasy and fat after we ate, but we stopped getting them and I actually enjoy my meal alittle more now. I usually would fill up on chips and salsa and not ever finish my meal. So then we came home and watched a movie and went to sleep. Then Saturday we babysat a few of our friends kids. Mike had a friend that passed away about 7 months ago or so. He and his wife had one baby boy and then she already had 3 girls. They live right around the corner so we try and help her out when she needs it. Mike mows her lawn every other weekend. He's such a good friend. Anyways 2 of her girls had a soccer game and it was SO cold out so we watched the little boy, Dalton who is is about a year or so, and then her oldest. Her girls are so good, they are so well behaved. Dalton stuck to his sister for about the first 30 mins but I finally got him to play with me and he started to get comfortable. I was changing his diaper and Cheyenne said "your doing a great job, you will be a great mom." It was really sweet. After they left Mike started on the nursery and it started looking good, but he hadn't done the detail work yet. I had to get out of the house so we went walking around this area that has a bunch of shops and restaurants and things. It was so pretty out. Then Sunday we went and let the dogs run and then Mike did the detail work on 2 of the walls in the nursery. It takes a long time because he has to hand do it with a tiny brush. We taped it off but our walls are textured so the paint runs through. So he got up there and spent hours touching it up. He said he will finish this week. It looks AWESOME though. I'm so excited. I am going to post some pics from this weekend in a bit.

Oh and I guess as far as the pregnancy goes, things are going good lately. I gained 7 lbs last time I went to the dr, putting my total weight gain of 16 lbs. I weighed myself on Friday and I hadnt' gained anything, I know I'm supposed to gain but since I gained so much last month I was alittle excited that I hadn't gained much so far in the past few weeks. Well, that good feeling went out the window when I weighed myself this morning and was + 3lbs!! WHAT? SERIOUSLY?? I don't understand this weight thing right now and where the weight is going. I am now in my 3rd trimester and almost 7 months pregnant. My baby website says the baby weighs almost 2 lbs now. That's AWESOME, but where are the other 17lbs that I have gained going?? haha. I can still wear all of my old pants but with a belly band thing. is it 17 lbs of water weight? geez! oh well. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it's hard. I just think about gaining a pound these days and it goes up! haha. Oh well, I'm just going to keep walking and eating the best I can and hopefully it will all go away after he's here.

Here are some more pics to our trip to Fossil Rim. I'm still trying to figure out this blogging thing so I might have done it all out of order. :)

Our trip to Fossil Rim

This was our trip to Fossil Rim that we went to last weekend for our anniversary. I surprised Mike with going her and he LOVED it. We had such a blast! I recommend it to anyone.

It's Friday!!

Not that Friday's really mean much to me anymore since I have no job, but I still get excited because Mike is off too and I'm not here by myself staring at my dogs. :) I just did my 4 mile walk that I do every other day. It's working out good. When My dr told me to stop running, I was alittle upset. If anyone knows me, I have to work out and usually am pretty good about eating decent and working out. I just imagined me gaining another 40 pounds now that I couldn't run. She told me I coudl still walk as much as I wanted though as long as there was no bleeding or bad cramping or anything like that. She just said listen to my body, so that's what I'm doing. I take a little break every mile and drink lots of water. I walk on level 8 and wow that kills my butt, but I need that the most! hehe. It's so nice having a treadmill too, I can watch my shows and walk at the same time. I'm starting to get spoiled by it though. I will be in my 3rd trimester on Sunday!! I can't believe it. It's exciting. Without having a job the weekes have been going by pretty fast. One good thing I guess. I also go in for my next dr apt soon (the 6th) where I have to take my one hour glucose test to check for diabetes. I hear it's loads of fun!! :) This weekend we are finishing painting the nursery. It has been driving me CRAZY walking by the room all week and seeing one wall sortof done and nothing else done. I can't get on a ladder right now though, I'm a bit clumsy these days and we don't want to take any risks of me falling or anything. So I just go into the room everyday, it's like I'm hoping they will magically be done or something that day. hehe. But Mike has said tomorrow morning, that's our goal is to finish! Then I can start hanging pics and things like that. So I will post pics of the nursery next week. Have a good weekend. :)

A good nights sleep...what is that?

So I totally get why pregnant women are so tired all of the time, because they can't ever sleep through the night!! I swear I get up about 3 times a night, every few hours, and have to go to the restroom again. I lay awake for about 20 mins after that until I fall asleep again. By this point, I have a good hour and a half sleep until I have to get up and do it all over again. I do believe this is nature's way of getting you ready for no sleep after the baby is born. Mike and I have been going to bed pretty late every night though for some reason. We used to be in bed by 9:30 every night, now it's midnight by the time we are falling asleep. And for the last 2 nights Mike has forgotten to set his alarm so he has gotten up late and we have to run around the house to try and get him out the door in 20 mins. :) If anyone knows MIke, he's not a good morning person and he's a big grumpy bear. I can't wait to get him out the door! hehe. We tried to watch the new movie "Rachel getting married" last night with Anne Hathaway, wow, it was so boring!! I couldn't get into. It's hard for me to get into movies but this one was really really slow. MIke kept doing the gun to his head motion saying it was boring, so I just said ok we can turn it off. So then we proceeded to watch some new show called Nitro Circus. It's like jackass but without most of the gross stuff. It's better, but still just a bunch of guys doing stunts and breaking things on their body and laughing about it. Some parts were funny, but makes me think boys really are dumb. hehe. And I will be having one in 3 months. :) oh goodness. "In the Motherhood" starts tonight, i'm excited. It should be a funny show. I was trying to get rid of some of the shows I watch and read my dad's books more at night, but this one I will have to add to my list. It looks funny.

My pregnancy so far...

Here are the pics that we have taken so far of me during my pregnancy. I haven't taken any lately but I haven't really gotten any bigger since the last pic. I think purple is 21 weeks, pink is 23 weeks and blue is 24 weeks and a few days. I am now 26 weeks and a few days, so I'll take more on Sunday when I'm 27 weeks.

Just another day...

Well today is another boring day without a job. I swear, I am just not good at this no job thing. I have had a job since I was 15, I don't know anything else! It's been nice being off and getting so much done around the house but I still have days where I am just bored out of my mind! Yesterday I went and bought hostess gifts for my baby shower, but that's the thing, I have to spend money if I'm not at the house, so this is usually where I am! :) I found some cute things to give the girls, hopefully they will like them. We are slowly but surely getting ready for Dylan to be here. We are starting to paint a border around the top of the nursery. Mike taped off another wall last night so I'm going to try and get started on that today. I am just ready for the nursery to be done. It's such a mess right now and it has me a bit panicky everytime I walk by it. Our goal for this weekend is to finish though so we can start hanging up pictures and shelves. I just can't believe it's already the end of March. I have 3 more months left!! I hope it goes by fast. I have enjoyed being pregnant alittle more lately, but I'm still ready for him to be here to start enjoying him and start working again. We are fine on money, but we don't have that extra comfort spending that we used to have. I can't go and buy something big without talking myself out of it right now. Things are good though, savings is up and bills are getting paid so that's all that matters.
