Not much to write about

Life has been fairly uneventful lately. I had a dr's appt. last Friday. Everything seems to be going fine. I'm gaining weight at a good rate (no need to say exact numbers), my placenta is 24 1/2 cm which is where it should be and the baby is moving a lot every day. It is so fun to feel it kicking every day. It seems so much more real that there is an actual human being growing inside of me. At my next appt. I have to take the glucose test. Can't say I am looking forward to that. And then after that appt, I start having appointments every 2 weeks! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going by. Sometimes I can't wait for the baby to come out and other times I am freaked out that we are going to have a baby in 3 months!! We aren't ready yet!!!



In other not-so-exciting news, I got a flat tire on the interstate last week. Elliot and Adam came to the rescue and when we opened the trunk to get the spare tire I found our camera that I have been looking for and decided to take some pictures.


It's kind of sad that this is all I have to write about.

Have you met my nephew Carson?

Elliot's sister Megan had a baby boy (Carson) 2 months ago and I realized I never posted any pictures!! Here are some pictures from his blessing a few weeks ago. I think he was a little over a month old at the time. Megan and her husband Adam live in the same house as us so we get to see Carson all the time. He is the cutest little baby ever. It's really fun to see him get bigger every day, and being around him makes me so excited to have my baby!

Another hair color

So I couldn't stick with the red for too long without getting the itch to try a new color. I think I have finally hit the end of my rope though. I went as dark as I could possibly go without going completely black. The box was a pretty dark brown but I think my damaged hair soaked it up a bit more then it was supposed to so there are some definite black portions. I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I am mostly just indifferent to my hair at this point. I was going to cut it short too but at the last minute I chickened out. Probably a good thing for now.

5 months

I have a few things to post but I am sooooooo tired so all you get is this picture of my belly about to burst open. At least that is what it is starting to feel like. I am baffled that I still have 4 more months of growing to do. I already feel huge!!!

Today is a good day

I just found out that salad spritzers came out with a ranch spritzer!

Prenatal vitamins are the enemy

So last night I got the worst stomachache ever. I have been getting them occasionally since I have been pregnant. Not sure Stomachache is really correct as the actual problem is just being insanely clogged up. I know, I know, TMI. It is these stupid prenatal vitamins. They are killing me. Do babies really need them? Women have been having babies for centuries without them and their babies have turned out fine. Can't I just eat a lot of fruit and veggies? What is in that little pink pill that is so fabulous for the growing embryo inside of me? Anyways, back to the point. So I was up a little later then usual because I thought I was going to die. But then I started feeling a bit better and was able to go to sleep around 10:30. Elliot came to bed at 2:00 (he is enjoying his month off of school) and lovingly brought me a glass of water since he knows I always wake up in the middle of the night parched. I woke up to drink some and then of course had to use the bathroom and by the time I was done with all of that (approx. 2 1/2 minutes) I was wide awake. Like middle of the afternoon awake. Very unlike me. I can sleep anywhere anytime and never have trouble going back to sleep after waking up for a minute. So I laid back down to try to force myself to go to sleep (by this time Elliot was already asleep next to me). I laid there until almost 3:00 and still wasn't the slightest bit tired. I tried to wake up Elliot to tell him I couldn't sleep (it makes sense to me that if I can't sleep, anyone else sharing a bed with me shouldn't be sleeping either) but he wouldn't budge. What to do in a situation like this? I turned to Tila Tequila of course. I turned on the tv and that is what happened to be on so I watched that for about 7 minutes until I was so disturbed by it I had to change the channel. Who is watching that? And why is popular enough to have a second season?? I channel surfed through a few other explicit infomercials (do you know what people are trying to sell us at 3:00 in the morning?? Insane) and realized I was probably better off befriending the internet. So I blog surfed until 4:15. IN. THE. MORNING. Unbelievable. For those that know me well, you know I cannot stay up past, oh, 8:00 without starting to yawn and dreaming of my bed. I couldn't believe I was still up. Finally around then I was starting to get tired again so laid back down and dreamed about the egg mcmuffin I was going to let myself have to make up for my terrible night(I could eat about 6 of those a day since I've been pregnant. This baby is already a fast food junkie). I finally fell back asleep only to wake up at 5:00 with a charley horse!! What did I do to deserve all this? And then at 5:07 my alarm went off and I wanted to shoot myself. And Elliot. I didn't really have any justification for being mad at Elliot but seeing him sleeping peacefully enraged me just a little. Anyways, I am now at work and oddly enough, I feel fine. Last night apparently didn't effect me at all. Yet. Maybe this baby didn't want me sleeping anymore? I don't know but thank goodness cause it is not good to be a beast at work when you work in customer service. So I'm not sure why I felt it necessary to post this massive post but for props to those of you who made it to the end!

Tonight I almost burned the house down...

...trying to make a batch of homemade french fries. Thank goodness for baking soda and Adam's quick reflexes.
