I will post more later just thought you would like to see some pictures!


With Daddy! He made it the whole way through!
With Lu. She is in love with her!
Mommy snuggle time!

This kiddo better get here soon or I am going to lose my mind.
So I am now 36 weeks and 4 days pregnant!  So so close to the end.  I want it to be the end though.  I keep on contracting really well for a couple of hours then stopping.  (Not so much fun.) 
Lu asked the other day though when I was going to spit her out.  I think I need to send her to the baby class this weekend.

Oh a late but still happy birthday to [info]spidergirl30  I hope your day was filled with happiness!
 Oh and a happy birthday to [info]daintress!  Have a wonderful day!

Come one come all!

So this baby is coming in the next few weeks and I thought it would be a little entertaining to see who can guess the correct date that she comes.  (There will be a prize for the closest person.) 
So comment here with the date, time, and for a tie breaker the weight.

Some information you may want to know before hedging your bets...My due date is July 31st.  I have only gained about 10 pounds with this baby.  Lu was 2 days late.  She is in the correct head down position (though those things change)  and finally I have mild contractions.

So there you have it.  And good luck!

Hello???

*Comes out from my 5 week hiding spot*

So lets just say that this pregnancy is kicking my butt.  I am getting to the point where I want to do everything but I am starting to have contractions and all the other problems that I had with Lu so I am a little worried and trying to take it easy (easier said then done)
But that includes a lot of time reading on the couch and a lot less time on the computer.

I thought I would post a few pics of my belly for ya'll

I sent the top one to Zach to which he told me...it would be nice to see your face...I guess Bart just didn't want to freak the poor kid out!


Oh and Lu in all her cuteness...I am VERY proud of this one!


I am sorry I have been MIA for so long I will try to be better but hey no promises.

Its may and it has been snowing off and on all day.

I thought may day meant cute springy dresses giving out baskets and dancing around poles with string not wishing that I had a cup of coco!

Its conference weekend.

So I have a curse and that is the curse of my family.  When it is time for the LDS Conference in our family something brakes.

This weekend on friday night the hubby calls and tells me that our water heater is leaking.  Nice, but it gets better.

We then took our car to get the oil changed and they broke our car.  They stripped the bolt in the oil pan and the car is more like an oil factory then something you can drive it is leaking so much.  So we went to the airport to rent a car.  The problem since we were local they would not rent us one with our credit/debit card we had to have the credit card even though the soul reason for this card is credit.  (All of our money in that bank is in savings)  So we had to turn around and get our credit cards at home because the hubby  is not allowed the credit cards and I have one but being the spacey prego that I am forgot my purse.

And since I have to take my car in to get fixed I missed work today.  (But hey, a fun day with my family is worth it!)
The highlight...I have a nice 2008 chevrolet malibu that I have fallen in love with. 

Doctor who question...

So I have finally been converted to the wonderful world of Doctor who!  Here is the problem.  I watched Blink last night and was slightly disapointed.  I was told that this was the scariest Who ever and that my mom has to have all her angels looking at each other.  Now I have some questions that [info]nattieb and I have been discussing.  I would love anyones input as well.

See you in a week.

So I am going to be signing off for a week.   (Not like I have been around much lately.  But I have been trying to at least read what is going on in all of my f-lists lives.) 
We are moving tomorrow and out internet connection at the new house will not be setup until next Friday.  So if there is anything that is happening that I should not miss send a message my way.  If not then I will see you all next Friday and include pics of the new house!

Does this still work?

Wow I have not realized how long it has been since I have updated this journal.  I am sure some of you are wondering if I ran away.  No but I have been so super busy I have not really even had time to think. 
First off we bought a house!  I am finally a home owner.  We are trying to get it ready to move into soon but the people that lived there were by far not the cleanest people I have ever met.  It took my dad and I 4 hours last Saturday to clean the walls and floor in the kitchen.  It took my mother in law about 8 hours to clean the master bedroom and bath.  Our new vacuume that we bought had to be emptied about 4 time as I vacuumed just the main living area.  That and trying to pack our house has just been crazy

I also picked up more hours at work.  I love my job there is really never a moment I want to quit but by the end of March I will be VERY busy since our director is going on maternity leave so it will be up to me to handle all the shopping, the intent to return for next school year, tuition, grades, you name it I will do it.

And last this baby is kicking my butt.  I have to watch myself because if I do to much I start cramping.  (I was put on bed rest with Lu and don't really want to go through that again.)  So that is what has been going on in a very shortened version.  I hope to be around a bit more now.  If there is anything I missed (I sure there is a lot) including birthdays I am sorry for all of my friends in January I hope you all had wonderful birthdays and just for [info]harrysmom balloon free birthdays!

*Hugs you all*

Best day ever!

Today is one of my best ever in a really really long time!  I got to work today and was told that I get to pick up some more hours.  This to most is not good news but I have been wanting some to pay for some extras.  Then this afternoon something so trivial of getting a Jamba Juice that one does not have to pay for.

Then I got home and in my mail was information about a mortgage that my cousin has been helping us with.  When looking through the documentation I learned that he has written off a substantial amount of the fees that originate from him.  Then I call out relater to see if there is any news on this house that we made an offer on...he said that the bank needed 48 hours (it is foreclosure) to do some final legal things and they were going to officially accept our offer!

So lets just say I have been very happy today.  And then one of the best things ever.  My friend and I were talking the other day about music from growing up.  I talked about America, Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, (I could keep going) that these songs were blared at home on Saturdays.  The hubby comes walking in the door with a package for me of all of the best music in the world.  I love my friends!

Honestly I feel so lucky today that I could probably do well in Vegas right now!

Question

  • Jan. 23rd, 2008 at 3:07 PM
runs with vampires
A question for all of you out there that have read Twilight or anyone else that would like to weigh in on the question.
Can vampires smell death?  Do you think that they would maybe have a sense that would tell them if someone was very sick or was going to die soon?
Any ideas?

A rolling stone...

So I logged onto LJ today and it said that I have not updated in 6 weeks.  I have been pretty much MIA for all of that time as well.  I have missed you all!  But I have been gone for a good reason.  That is I have been coming home from work and sleeping.  Ok so that isn't great but the reason why is because right after thanksgiving I found out I was pregnant!

We told the family on Christmas.  Everyone seemed excited but I was really struggling because my SIL (Whom I adore) lost her baby just a few days before.  So there has been so much going on between wanting to just lay in my bathroom for the past 6 weeks and having to come to terms about my SIL.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season.  Thank you all for all the beautiful cards I loved them!  I am sorry I never got to mine.  Maybe I will send out Valentine Day cards.

*Hugs flist*

Okay so life the past week has been nothing but crazy for me.  I am sorry I have not posted much.  I have read and laughed stressed out with you and thought of you all but just really have been crazy.

First I went to the radio station today.  I won a CD from the and was entered into their grand prize drawing to Vegas to see the NFR.  I would totally freak out if by some random chance of fate I would actually win.

I am finally reading eclipse again.  Oh how I love these books!  (Don't tell Harry but I almost love Edward more...almost.) 

Oh and today changing my day to eh to YEA I got a Christmas card and a wonderful meta pin in the mail from [info]wildmagelet totally made my day!  *Colossal hugs!*  Thank you so much! 

All of you have a wonderful turkey day tomorrow.  (Well those of my friends that actually are having a turkey day!)
*Hugs f-list!*

I am a total dancing with the stars fan.  Give it up to my love of all things ballroom but what happened last night totally shocked me!!!

Just one of those days.

I feel so out of it lately.  Like I am not myself.  I have been stressed about just about everything and its just making me go mad.  There are things happening in my life that  I have only shared with one person and keeping it all in is driving me crazy! 

Kids do the cutest things!!

I took the little one to the doctor for her 3 year old visit today.  She was so cute with her doctor but the best was when she got her flu shot.  I was holding her so she wouldn't hit the nurse or push her away.  The nurse gave her the shot and she just looked at her and said, "Ouch that hurt me!'"  No crying, no screaming.  Just that it hurt.  The nurse looked at me and said "Now this is something I don't see every day."

She also had to show the doctor how she could jump.  He had her walk for him and she goes I jump for you???  Forget ever having another baby I am just cloning her!
