Another week down!!

Here are just a few pics of the nursery as of now. Mike finished the painting on Sunday!! yeah!!

There are a few tiny tiny spots he wants to touch up on the blue, but you can't see them, he's just a perfectionist when he does things. I'm SO not, so I'm glad he is. hehe. I will post a picture but it's hard to get a good idea because I can't take a good picture of the whole room, I have to take seperate pics. Again, it's not finished at all, we are just now about to start really decorating, the only thing that is done is the painting. We might even be moving furniture around and stuff, so the fun has just begun! hehe. And we aren't sure we are keeping his name the way it is, we might put it on another wall, since my friend Erica says this wall is too big for them but I don't know what kindof house she has, but all of our walls are the same size!! hehe. No, I get what she means I think, we will be putting shelves, curtains, pics, etc all over the wall, it won't just be the letters, so again, it's hard to get a good idea of what it's going to look like. :)

It's Monday, I'm now 29 weeks and 1 day. yeah!! Feeling great except my back. I get a lot of tension knots in my back and the past few days I have had one big one on the left side of my back. I don't know if it's from sleeping on the couch while Mike was gone Friday or scrubbing the kitchen floors on Friday. I have had to take tylenol and a lot of baths the past few days, but it feels alittle better today luckily. Mike was gone Friday night to go turkey hunting, he didn't catch anything though. I guess that gilly suit he made scared the Turkey's off! :) So I just watched Friday night lights, which my parents got my hooked on, and read some of my dad's scary book, Dark Water Murders. Man, what a great book so far (it has taken me SOO long to read his books, i'm horrible about it, but I'm getting there). This book really is scary though!! Anyways, I barely slept on Friday night between the dogs playing since they weren't in their normal beds, my back hurting and just not being able to sleep very well by myself. So Saturday I woke up, worked out, cleaned the house and then took a nap!! Mike didn't get home until about 6:00. We just ordered pizza and watched a movie, then went to bed early. Easter Sunday we woke up, made some pancakes and then Mike finally finished painting the nursery!! Then we took the dogs running and I made a nice Easter dinner. :) Kindof a boring weekend I see now that I"m typing it out. Keeping this blog makes me realize that I'm freaking boring these days! hehe. I have nothing exciting to write about. I guess without a job or a social life, there's not much to it ugh? hehe. Sorry! If you can stay awake through the next few weeks, I'm sure things will start to pick up since I only have about 11 weeks left!! :)

So, my shower is this weekend. I'm SO excited. I leave on Wed morning to head to Austin. I have so many people to see in such a short amount of time, I'm thinking I can get everyone in though. I'm just excited to be in Austin for 5 days or whatever, I haven't been home since Christmas I think!! That's a long time for us. We just haven't wanted to spend the money on gas and then the money I would spend while I'm there. We are excited to go visit though and for the shower.

My baby is taking my brain cells...

Ok, I hear about pregnancy brain but just thought it was a myth or something. I swear lately I feel like the biggest blonde (no offense to blondes, I mean I was one for a long time (and brunette and black and brown, hehe). I mean I am so forgetful lately and have to ask Mike the dumbest questions. About a month ago we went and watched my friend run her first half marathon and I completely forgot where I parked downtown. We walked around downtown Fort Worth for about 30 mins trying to find my car. I'm also so dang clumsy. I mean yesterday I was walking into the restroom and completely just ran right into the wall in the doorway. I mean it was like the wall just jumped out infront of me, like the doorway to the restoom moved over about 2 inches!! I walked right into it and was like "ouch, what the heck just happend?" I hear pregnant women are clumsy but geez.

Up in smoke...

Man, yesterday a city close to Dallas (Sunset and Montague) went up in flames. The wind was so strong yesterday and the grass was so dry, something sparked it and they said almost the whole city had to leave their homes because of the fires and smoke. 3 people died from the flames and some animals too :(. But, I figured this was far enough away that we wouldn't be affected, but before I knew it, I looked outside and the whole sky was filled with smoke. I could just smell the burning smell. I didn't think it was bothering me and didn't really at first but later that night I was watching tv and I started to lose my peripheral vision and started seeing lights and stuff out of my right eye (I have had this happen before a migraine awhile back, had an MRI and they said it was just signs of a bad migraine coming on). I had to close my eyes and it scared me at first, but then I remember back when it happend about 3 years ago. So I took some tylenol and went and layed down. Mike was all worried about me, he was so sweet. He kept checking on me. After about an hour, I got up and I was fine but my eyes were burning so bad and the migraine came on alittle bit. I guess it didn't help that we had our windows open! hehe. Then I saw on the news how bad it was everywhere and that they were advising people to stay inside and stuff until the air clears. I think they got most of the flames out, but I think they said there is still one burning, but the air is fine today. I'm glad!! that was scary for a minute.

Test results are in...

I called my dr today to find out my glucose test results (that checks my thyroid and also for gestational diabetes) because i'm the most impatient person I know and was eager to find out! She said everything was fine, thyroid was fine, iron levels were fine and no diabetes. :) I didn't think I would have it, but you never know!! So that's good news. Now I can keep eating all the sugar I want! hehe, jk. I'm so glad because candy is the only thing I crave these days with the pregnancy. I NEVER really ate candy like starbursts, gummy worms, etc, before but ever since I got pregnant, I definitely have to have alittle something every day (thanks mom for candy for Easter, the jelly beans have filled my cravings each day). Anyways, just sharing the good news.

Oh and I got an outfit for my shower. I went into this store up north in Dallas. I walked in and he said that there are pretty much 3 stores in one, pea in a pod, mimi maternity and motherhood maternity. He said pea in the pod, which was upfront, is alittle more high end, mimi maternity is alittle high end also and motherhood is your typical kohls and old navy prices. KNOWING I would not in a million years buy anything at the first two, I thought I would take a look around. I found 2 shirts I liked, both $80 each and get this, THEY WERE ON THE 50% OFF RACK!!!!!! I'm not even talking like cute going out shirts, I'm talking like casual t-shirts you wear around the house or something! I think I just about had the baby right then because I couldn't believe it. hehe. I'm sure they saw my face, I was like WHAT? are you kidding me? so i quickly put them back and made my way to my area of the store where I could actually afford something. Mike would make me where those shirts every day and sleep in them if I paid $80 for them!! So, I tried on some dresses and other stuff, It was between 2 shirts. I had to make Mike come from work and help me choose. hehe. So I feel much better that I have something to wear now. This is how exciting my blog has gotten, I talk about my shopping experiences. Sorry for anyone who is officially bored!!

Almost Friday, yeah!!

This is Mike in his wonderful gilly suit thing he made. Kinda scary ugh? He used his marine stuff.

Not that Friday's mean much to me these days, but I do still look forward to the weekend, that means another week down!! :) I'm also excited about spending some time in Austin next week, so that will be fun. Mike is going Turkey hunting tomorrow night with a friend. I don't really like hunting, me being the animal freak I am, but Turkey's don't make me too upset and they are so good! hehe. He still has to pick up his deer head this weekend too that he shot when he went hunting with his dad. He tries to explain the benefits of deer hunting to me everytime we bring it up, but I don't think I will ever agree with it really. Bambi didn't do anything to you I tell him! hehe. Plus we have the argument every other day about where this dang deer head is going to go. He keeps saying in our guest room, I'm like yeah our guests would LOVE to wake up to a deer staring at them with those eyes saying "help me"!! He says he gets to do whatever he wants to the garage, so I said put the deer in the garage, it will look SOO nice in there! :) So we are still debating that. Plus with me being so dang emotional these days, I would probably cry everytime I saw it if it was in the guest room.

I have to go and find an outfit for my shower next weekend. I went and tried on a few things yesterday and I was not liking it. I feel like I should just wear a moo moo and be done with it! I'm headed up north to Dallas to this other maternity shop by my old job and see if they have anything, then swing over and have lunch with my hubby. I just hope I find something!! I finally almost finished my hostess gifts yesterday. I spent about 2 hours in the mall. I didn't want to just get something they won't use, so I really have tried to put a lot of thought into it, it's hard though!! I'm done with 3 of the 4 though, so that's good.

Well, I'm off to do some walking before I head up North.

Grandparents are the best...

Yesterday we got 2 wonderful surprises from our parents. Mike's mom sent Dylan the CUTEST floppy bunny for Easter along with a nice card. It was so sweet. My mom also sent us a 3 layered Easter box set with lots of goodies inside and a cute cute little bunny in the bottom one for Dylan! Mike and I are so lucky to have such wonderful families that think of us and Dylan on Easter. :) He is going to be so lucky when he gets here to have such wonderful grandparents. Thank you guys so much!!

My son the Karate Kid

Wow, I heard that his kicking will get more intense but it's like he's got a karate tournament going on in there! Last night I was laying in bed and I could just feel his foot sticking out, it wasn't just kicking, he was pushing it out. I called Mike in and so he put his hand there and he was like WOAH!!!! I mean you could feel his foot poking out, so crazy! I feel like I'm in an alien 4 movie and the thing is about to explode out of my stomach!! hehe. Then this morning he was kicking again like crazy, I took a video of it but I had to do it sideways thinking I would be able to flip it once it was on the computer, but I can't figure it out. :) So I posted the video and if you look on the right side of my stomach you can see it push out, it's cool, but kinda hard to see because it's sideways, sorry.

Feeling good today. It is so pretty outside, I feel like I HAVE to get out and do something today! Yesterday was so pretty too except I was so tired because Mike kept me up with his snoring all night. I had dinner with a friend from Publicis last night and we had a great time, we should do it again soon Delana!! Mike had a test today so he studied late last night. I haven't heard back from my dr yet about my glucose test, but if I haven't heard anything by tomorrow I'm going to call them and see if they have my results, since they don't call if I passed. I watched a baby story again this morning, it made me start feeling anxious about the delivery. I just hope it all goes ok. I shouldn't be worrying about that now though I guess, I have less than 3 months to go, but that's still a ways away, I will have plenty of time to worry about that when it gets closer. Well, I'm going to get out and run some errands on this beautiful day!! :)
