Beautiful Day

We spent the day at the beach yesterday. It was SUPER cold in town but I really wanted to take a walk on the coast so Ron agreed to take me anyhow. We bundled up in sweatshirts and mittens but when we got out to the beach it was sunny and beautiful! I couldn't believe it! We had such a wonderful day together. I wish this baby would hurry up and come so Ron can stay home with me. I miss him so badly when he's at work. I know he misses me too because he calls me every other hour to let me know. He's so silly. I love him.

One of those nights...

I woke up about a dozen times last night with this sense of urgency. Like I was missing something and needed to get out of bed A.S.A.P.

Every time I'd wake up I'd kind of lunge forward and gasp. It was the craziest thing! I haven't got any place to be today, the house is for the most part clean, the nursery is ready, my hospital bags are packed, the animals were all sound asleep in their terrariums/beds. WTF!

Ron jumped a few times and asked if the baby was coming. Poor guy. He had a late night of video games. I don't think he got much sleep at all thanks to me. : (

I'll leave you with some picture I took when I was feeling pretty the other day.

Down one Holiday, two more to go!

Sorry I haven't been around much, I've been crazy busy. It seems like I have some kind of appointment EVERYDAY, on top of work and trying to get my house ready for the baby life has been NUTSO!

Anyway, I've got a whole mess of pictures from Halloween.

Halloween, I started off the day at work, and was a Bumblebee with my mom, Viz and some of our students

Week 34

 

Little "L" now weighs somewhere between 4 3/4 and 5 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. 

Update on me:
  • I've been feeling very energetic and "nesty" in the mornings, and by the evenings completely exhausted and in need of laying down.
  • I've been getting a lot of cleaning/organization type household stuff done.
  • I am having upper abdominal tension, stretching and rib pain, but I think I'm just learning to cope with it.
  • I noticed my first stretch mark on my tummy yesterday and it's getting bigger. eek.
  • I am getting so excited to hold my baby!!!


34 Weeks
BELLY!

it feels so big, like a pumpkin under my skin.

Jungle Theme


Strawberry smoothie = LOVE!

My mom has been spoiling the shit out of me while Ron has been away! Taking me out for smoothies, doing my laundry, buying all kinds of treasures for myself and the baby! I'm ALMOST sad that this weekend at mommy's is coming to an end. I am however SUPER stoked to pickup Ron from the airport today. I miss his face SOOOO bad!

To help pass the time, I've been painting some little 8"-10" canvases for our nursery. I figure It might help give my boyfriends brother that hint that I'm ready to get in the room he has been "living" in and he should start looking for a new place to dwell already. I wanted to paint the walls, but by the time we get Sean out of there the baby will probably be here already. I swear, he hasn't so much as left his room (other than to get a beer from the fridge) in over a month!!! He's not even working anymore, all he does is sit at home locked in my nursery playing world of warcraft! And I KNOW he's smoking pot in there (if not cigarettes as well)! I don't want my FUCKING NURSERY SMELLING LIKE AN ASH TRAY! Arrrrgh!!!

...I kind of just surprised myself. I had no idea I was so angry about this. eeep!

On a happier note, here's some pictures of the paintings I have done so far.

EXHIBIT A. The dining room table.

Who REALLY uses their dining room table for sit down dinners anyway? NOT US! We couldn't if we wanted. hehehehe. Maybe by Thanksgiving I will see the surface again?


These are some of the original ideas for baby jungle animal designs. I'm painting a series of 9 canvasses for the walls of the nursery. I'm thinking about using them as a makeshift border around the room.

Here are some that are just about done now...









I'm pretty happy with them so far. Really tho, they just make me even more "excited" about getting in that room and nesting! I want in soooo bad!!!

It's a...


Now they can't say 100% because with girl parts all it takes is a hiding penis to make it a boy! But they said it looked pretty girl like to them, and we thought so too. We're going to get a 3D/4D ultrasound just to make sure, but we're STOKED! Baby Lily is on her way, and we love her to bits!!!

Also, I was feeling pretty today, so I took some pictures.

Nesting


I got hit with the nesting bug this weekend! It started out as just doing the dishes (normal), that turned into taking EVERYTHING out of my cabinets and washing everything, then rearranging them all. I tore apart my refrigerator, scrubbed out every compartment and rearranged all of my condiments by expiration dates. THEN I got on my hands and knees, scrubbed the floor, then the walls, then THE CEILING!!! I spent 8 hours on the kitchen, 11 on the living areas, and a whole day on our bedroom. I was able to get Ron to clean the bathroom (kind of) because our bathroom has no ventilation so he was worried about the baby breathing in all the chemicals. It's not clean to my standards, but it's better than it was. Now if only I could get his brother out of our house so I could start on the nursery. I'm just DYING to get my hands on that room!

Last night Ron went over to his friend Teddy's house to watch basketball, he wanted me to go with him but I really couldn't care less about basketball, and the walls in the living room were begging me to Mr. clean magic eraser them. As soon as he left I felt the baby kick REAL hard. I got so excited because I hadn't felt it move in a couple days, so I spent the rest of the time Ron was gone just lying on the couch holding my belly and feeling my baby move around. It is the most wonderful feeling in the world! When babe got home and I told him about all the movement he missed out on and he got pretty bummed, but later that night in bed while he was talking to my belly he was able to feel it kick pretty hard. He looked like he was going to cry! We're both so excited!

We get our BIG ultrasound on Wednesday! Myself and pretty much everyone close to me thinks it's going to be a girl. I took some silly "old wives tales" quiz online and it said we have a 83% chance of it being a girl. I think part of us (Ronand I) is hoping it's a girl because we're butting heads so hard on boys names. He's into the super crazy Irish names, and I'm just not. Ugh.

Any who, here's a pictures from a baseball game we went to recently, and a belly pic from today (23 weeks)

I think it looks like I have a big pumpkin or beach ball under my skin : )


Ron thinks it's beautiful.

Balls


I crack myself up every morning trying to get out of bed! It seems to get more difficult to stand up everyday, and I'm only half way through this pregnancy! I honestly can not imagine my belly getting any bigger! Pregnancy is bananas!

Babe had a company party this weekend. They had a bocce ball tournament I had never played before. It's kind of like bowling only your not trying to knock anything over, and it's played on a rough and un-even surface. I was put on a team with one of Babes companies biggest clients! I was so nervous, but the two of us ended up being one of the last two teams in the running! We didn't win, but everyone was treating us as if we had. Even the team we were playing against in the finals. There was a lot of teasing going on about all the "big men who couldn't even beat a little pregnant girl playing ball in HEALS!" it was pretty fun. I don't think I've ever gotten that much attention at a party in my life!

After the party I had to drive us home because Ron had been drinking, and being pregnant I was obviously sober. I don't mind driving him around when he's been drinking as long as we don't have to stay out too late. I get so tired and cranky these days when I don't get to bed before midnight.

When we got home Ron got a call from his friend Sunny saying that some of his old college buddies were in town and wanted us to come over. I was getting tired, but I knew that he REALLY wanted to go and since he'd been drinking I would have to drive him. I said ok, but only as long as we didn't have to stay out TOO late. He agreed and told me we would be home and in bed before midnight. We stopped at 7-11 on the way to get him a six pack of beer and some sparkling apple cider for me.

When we got to Sunny's all the boys and their girlfriends were sitting around a table playing drinking games. I sat and watched, and helped them keep track of the rules. After the game was over (around 2am) and all the girls had gone to bed I assumed we would be heading home, but I was wrong. The boys were only just getting started! They turned on some movie, broke out the cards, and started shotgunning beers. I pulled Ron  aside and let him know that it was late, I was sleepy and ready to go. He looked at me with those googly eyes boys get when they've had a few too many and told me to go ahead and go home, he could get a ride with some one else. YEAH RIGHT! They were ALL drunk! I told him that I didn't think that was a very smart idea, and I would be willing to wait for him to finish the beer he had just opened but after that we would be going home. Together.

I was finally able to get him home around 3am. It's funny, typing this out 3am doesn't seem all that late, but things change when you're lugging a belly full of fetus around with you everywhere you go.

He was pretty hung over the next day so we walked down to the store together with the dog for gatorade and excedrin. When he was feeling better he took me vintage clothes shopping to make up for being a butt head the night before. I got an eyelet lace white dress, vintage lace white top, light blue floral button up, and a couple scarves.

All in all it was a pretty wonderful weekend! Now that it's monday I have to start on the house work again. I just can't seem to keep this place clean! Nesting has been really difficult while living with two messy boys.
