My son ALMOST has this whole crawling thing down! At the moment he is really good at rolling all over the floor, and he is practically army crawling. I don't know how he does it, but before you even realize, he'll get his legs stuck underneath of the couch, or he will be halfway across the room and you have to go pick him up and move him back to the middle of the living room (which is tiny, and so I have to move him often.) Today he was playing near our dining table (which is in our living room because it's an all in one kind of room-we literally do all of our living in our living room!) and my husband's coat was hanging on the back of the chair. He went to grab the coat and pulled the chair down on top of him!!! I was so scared and as I was pulling the chair back up, I kept repeating "Oh my God!!!!"
My son has had a few bumps on his head from falling over in the past, but never had an accident like this before. It scared me half to death! I held him for like a half hour and just cuddled with him....my adrenaline was pumping for a good 20minutes! This was Bryan's first real accident and he came out without a single scratch or bump! Thank God! I definitely DO NOT want him to get any older, because I know, with more mobility means more accidents. I do not do well with accidents and with babies getting hurt! :( SO please God, keep looking out for my soon to be crawling baby boy!!!

My son's first cold
I feel so bad for my baby boy. He just turned 8 months on the 18th and two days later he has his first cold. He's kind of had the sniffles before but nothing like this. :( He gags on his mucus, sneezes and huge snot bubbles form, and he hates having snot on his face, so he will try to rub it off and it just spreads all over his face...even into his eyes! Not to mention he is teething right now so he is drooling like no other....so needless to say EVERYTHING is covered in wetness around here-Especially me because he likes to cuddle and rub up against me (probably rubbing his snot off on me) when he is sick. At least I'm getting some cuddles even though they're at the expense of getting sick.
I really hope that it's just a cold and doesn't turn into something worse. :( Poor boy, I can't imagine him having a sinus infection or bronchitis when he's not even a year old yet. Needless to say, he is being very clingy, and I must go tend to him now! :) Not sure how long it's gonna take to get over this, but I'll be extremely happy when he stops whining every time I sit him down! (and now that it's bed time and he can't breathe and wants his paci....nothing is making him happy....even being held by me isn't working! YIKES!) I have a feeling I'm in for a long night!

THANK GOD!
I am thankful for GOD. I don't know what I would do without him. I want to just jot down some things I am thankful for.
First of all, I am thankful for LIFE! I am so glad that I get to live another day on this amazing planet.
I am thankful for my family. The family that I made with my husband and son. I am sometimes VERY ungrateful for my husband and it makes me sick to think of all the crap he has had to put up with. He is a very great man and I just down right do NOT deserve him. I love him very much and REALLY don't know what I would do without him. And more than anything in this entire world I love my son. I love waking up to his smiles and I love his goofy faces and loving hugs, kisses and cuddles. He is the greatest thing to EVER happen to me and I REALLY don't know what I did all 20 years of my life without him. Time to time he will stay with my mother and I just don't know what to do with myself because for the most part, I love occupying all of my time with caring for him.
I am thankful for the family I was born into. My mother is an amazing woman and I am so glad that she and I worked through our differences. It is hard to believe now, but she and I NEVER got along when I was younger. I am just so glad that God brought her back into my life. She is like a best friend to me and such a savior when I am stressed to the max with life. My sister is so funny, and can always put a smile on my face. She and I used to be really close and I can't wait for that to happen again. At this time in her life, she is not into babies very much, so we don't have much to talk about and whenever my son spits up (thanks to Acid Reflux, that happens VERY often) she gets grossed out and usually leaves the room. Today she was actually holding him when he projectiled and got spit up on her new shirt....I SERIOUSLY thought she was about to THROW my poor baby across the room. She flung him out as far away from her body as she could and his poor little legs were swinging and he looked all confused. Needless to say, she's not going to hold him again for a long while. But I love her and she has always been there for me. We were on and off again best friends, more on than off. I can't wait until she and I are older and are there for each other because I know we will be. :) My dad is a great provider for his family and I look up to him with admiration for all his hard work he has done to make the life for his family the best it could be. We haven't always seen eye to eye, but he and I respect each other now, and I FINALLY understand why he was always so hard on me.... because he just wanted the best for me, like I want for my son! And I definitely wasn't easy to put up with!
I am very thankful God has given me such good friends. One friend in particular is Kelsey Rose Heinz :) She is a blessing. She always has a listening ear and I never fear that she will repeat anything I say to her. I can tell her anything and she will not judge me for my opinions or for what I do. I love our honesty and openess in our friendship. She is the one friend in this life that I NEVER want to let slip away. Her friendship is really too good to be true and it's the friendship that most people yearn for but can never find. I am OH-SO-LUCKY to have a friend like Kelsey, and I really don't know what I would do without her....she makes me stay sane, and makes me feel like I'm not alone on this big planet! Thank you God for sharing such an amazing person, I'm sure you're super proud of her! :)
I am thankful for the opportunity to stay home and raise my son. This is one of the most important things in my life....making sure I am always here for my son and am able to watch him grow up. I am also thankful for the babysitting job I have, which gives me extra spending money that most stay at home mothers don't have. With that being said...
I am also thankful for Lia Sophia. It has REALLY been a great experience so far! I have completed my 5 shows in 5 weeks, so I got my $150 back in the mail yesterday! (the fee for the starter kit). I also just had 3 shows in one weekend and made $410, which I got paid for last Monday!!! It has made me a better person. I feel like I am becoming a more outgoing person and I am bringing in more money for my family which makes me feel good. I used to have a fear of talking to people over the phone, minus my mom, husband and best friend. I am now overcoming my fear of phone conversations and talking in front of a crowd! (not to mention having to entertain a crowd!) God has blessed me with a great opportunity and I can not wait to see what my future has in store with Lia Sophia!
I am thankful for my new computer as well. I don't know what I did to deserve it...as a matter of fact I don't think there is anything at all I did to deserve it, as I have not been a good wife lately. But I feel like I can run a complete business at home now with my new computer, and it makes me that much more motivated to work hard with Lia Sophia!!!
I am also thankful for the 40 day love dare. I don't know if anyone reads my previous posts, but I was working on the love dare on my husband. He did not know I was doing it and I got to about day 15 and ended up getting into a huge arguement and telling him I was trying REALLY hard to work on our relationship and was even practicing the love dare. So I momentarily stopped working on our marriage with the love dare because he told me that I wasn't even trying, that I was just following a book and that it wasn't from my heart. However, my husband and I did a lot of arguing and talking this weekend and after it all, we have decided to start the love dare together tomorrow morning. So back to day one, but I'm glad we're both in it together this time. I am SO glad he is going to try to work on our marriage....and I feel so bad for almost ruining it. I am extremely happy that God is in my life and I am confident that if we stay on his path, we WILL make our marriage and our family work. I love my life and family too much to let it all go without a BIG fight. Sometimes it's easier to talk about and think about giving up, but I've worked this hard and made it this far, I feel like we can make it through anything.
SO, these are just a few of the things that I thank the Lord for.... and I can't imagine my life without all of these blessings (except for maybe the computer, I am just thankful that it is in my life, when I didn't really deserve it, but I'm sure I could live without it! lol).

Love Dare Day 7
Love dare day 7 is "on a sheet of paper, write out positive things about your spouse. At some point during the day, pick a positive attribute from the list and thank your spouse for having that characteristic."
I know that my husband MAY or MAY NOT choose to listen to me when I say something nice to him...so I decided that I would write a note for him and slip it in his wallet for him to find :) And I know he'll find it because tomorrow is pay day. So I am writing this tonight before I slip the letter into his wallet for tomorrow.
The letter I wrote him is simple and to the point
"Bryan, Thank you so very much for being a great husband.♥
I am very thankful that you are always here for me♥
That you never give up on me♥
that you are funny♥ and that you love your son (I love watching you two together! :) )
♥ I love you so much! ♥ Forever and ever!"
Bryan's not into giant mushy love letters....I used to write them...only to have them glanced at and thrown away. I figured a quick and to the point letter slipped into his wallet would mean a lot more than a love letter and more than me saying thank you for something he probably wont even listen to anyways! I will try to tell him tomorrow "thank you so much for being such a positive and motivating person in my life and for being here for me through thick and thin." Something like that anyways.... we'll see if he listens :)

Love Dare Day 6
Love Dare Day 6 is "Choose to react to tough situations in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation."
We didn't really argue today...however, I was a little pushy and lippy today when under stress. :( So pretty much I failed. I will need to work on this more tomorrow, and pretty much everyday, since this is a really good one to practice each and every day of our lives! I think it will make a big impact on how we relate in future arguments.

Love Dare Day 5
Love Dare day 5 is "Ask your spouse to tell you 3 things that cause him to be uncomfortable or irritated with you. You must do so without attacking them."
I asked Bryan to tell me things that irritated him...but we weren't in any argument, so this was hard to get him to do. He came up with little things such as "1. I don't flush the toilet. 2. I throw dirty clothes in my closet. 3. And I am a procrastinator." I can definitely handle these, but I really know there are more issues he has with me than not flushing pee and throwing clothes around. Even though I know there are more, I guess I will just work on improving these for now! :)

The Love Dare Day 4
Today was to "Contact your spouse sometime during the day and ask how he is doing and if there is anything you can do for them."
This was a little hard because he was home with me all day! However I did ask him a few times if there was anything I could do for him, and how he was doing. I am going to do it again tomorrow when he is at work.

The Love Dare days 1,2 and 3
I have decided to start doing the Love Dare from the movie Fireproof. I wouldn't say that our marriage is straight up disaster, however it is in need of some serious reconstruction. Since my son was born, I have been wanting to be closer to God, and my husband is not there. I also want to show affection to my husband and since our son was born...something switched in my husband and he no longer wants to be affectionate or really try in our marriage anymore. I had given up and I was just going through the daily motions with him, not really trying to do anything to please him or noticing or acknowledging when my husband DID do something that made me happy. I feel terrible for this, but I think my husband started to notice my lack of enthusiasm in our relationship...and I don't know how long he has been trying, but it really feels like this time he is genuinely TRYING to make permanent changes in our relationship. I hope he hadn't been trying to too long, because I just hadn't been noticing...
But as of the other day I have decided that I am going to put an effort into our relationship as well. I made a marriage vow to God and my husband and I feel like I am not keeping my part of the vows anymore. So I started the 40 Day Love Dare, and I will write every day how it is going!
So here is Day 1,2 and 3.
Day 1:
Resolve to say nothing negative about your spouse:
I was very good at this today. I did not say anything negative to him or about him today. As a matter of fact, I talked good about him to a friend and told her how happy I was that I know he is trying his best to make things work out this time. However, on day 2 of the love dare, I did talk negatively about his parenting...and how he does not wake up with our son and NEVER has. I guess I am still pretty upset that he used to be so uninvolved. Luckily my son sleeps through the night now, and I just need to let the past go. I am trying to stay more positive and I am NOT going to bash him to anyone that will listen anymore!
Day 2:
Do at least one unexpected gesture to your spouse as an act of kindness:
I don't think he noticed, but I did three kind gestures... One of them was write on his Facebook wall while he was at work "I love you". Two of the other ones were intimate and it's best if I don't disclose details on a blog :)
Day 3:
Buy your spouse something that says "I was thinking about you today":
This was pretty hard with today being Thanksgiving and him spending the day with me (we went to the Patriots/Lions game together). BUT, we went to Meijer later on this evening and I had to sneak off and buy him a card, which he read and smiled. (He's not much of a card reader, but I had to do something that showed I was thinking of him....I didn't have a lot of money to spend either!)

Just wanted to say that I am doing these surveys....for cash! Don't know if I will actually get cash or not for my semi hard work...but I have to do 100 friggin surveys in order to get $20...kinda gonna take me forever since I have a son that is very time consuming.... But I figure in the little spare time I have, why not try to make a few bucks for my opinion? ;)
I will be looking for a better website that gives money a little better than this one, but I am looking forward to the day I get 60,000 points and can see that 20 bucks! :)

My labor story :)
Finally have a moment to share my labor story....the quick version. If anyone reads this and has more questions, I will fill you in more completely of all the details. Although I was VERY tired and only had 4hours sleep in three days, I can still recall that precious day I met my son. The rest of the time in the hospital is a blur, but I can remember seeing my son for the first time :) Best day of my life...
I gave birth on April 18th, 2010. I was due on April 12th...and finally got induced at 8am. I had been having labor contractions the night before, but decided to go in for my induction just because I wanted to finally have it over with! I started at 2cm dilated and 100% effaced. The effacement was what my contractions had been doing all night long the night before! I had only gotten one hour sleep!!! The nurse checked me and after only a short time I was 4cm! Then my doctor broke my water. I could get up, but before I knew it I was very uncomfortable and could not find any relief! It felt like I was having CONSTANT contractions!! Then I was puking! The nurse told me she needed to monitor my contractions and the baby's heart beat for a little bit but I could not lay down. She told me that I had to have an electrode put into his head and I did NOT want that at all...I know that should be used as a last resort and instead of doing that to my baby, I opted for an epi. My epi was completely painless and I loved it. I could still feel everything in my vagina...which made things still very painful, but I could not feel anything in my stomach anymore. It was a good thing that I had had the epi too, because soon after settling down with the monitors on, they found out my pitocin had been turned up too high and quickly turned it down. It HAD been giving me constant contractions...I had been right! :) From there on out it was smooth sailing. The next time she checked me I was 6-7cm...and then about 45mins after that I was 9cm!!! And about 20mins after that I was already 10cm!!! It took me nearly 2hours to push my son out, but I believe it was because I was scared to push at first (didn't want to poo on myself...lame I know, because I ended up doing it anyway! haha!) and then I finally started trying to REALLY push but my baby had a big noggin! I gave birth at 3:20pm to a 8.6oz, 21.5inch long baby boy with a 14.5cm head! He is the most precious gift from God and I love him so very much! After that, my doctor was sewing up my second degree tears and my placenta wouldn't deliver. SO unfortunately I had to push for another hour to deliver my placenta while my husband got to hold our son. Finally it delivered but because it took so long to come out I had really bad hemorrhaging and had a HUGE clot come out....so it was pretty much like I had to give birth three times in one day! Despite the slight complications at the end, I wouldn't have wanted it to go any other way and I love my little man more than life itself!

After that, my doctor was sewing up my second degree tears and my placenta wouldn't deliver. SO unfortunately I had to push for another hour to deliver my placenta while my husband got to hold our son. Finally it delivered but because it took so long to come out I had really bad hemorrhaging and had a HUGE clot come out....so it was pretty much like I had to give birth three times in one day! Despite the slight complications at the end, I wouldn't have wanted it to go any other way and I love my little man more than life itself!

Maudedoodle the poodle
My pretty Maude :) Just got groomed! She is sooo cute!
This is before....
My fuzzy mess :)
This is after!!!
And this is the first time we got her groomed, back a few months ago. I like her bows better in this one, but I think I like the bracelets on her ankles better than the long fur on her legs. :)

redecorated blog
yes, I know the picture of me at the top of my blog is old....But I love it :) And HOPE to look that good again someday after this baby decides he wants to be born :)
Crack teeth.
I am pretty stressed out about my teeth situation. If you knew just how bad of shape my teeth are in, you would think I am smoking crack....not cool. Because if you know anything about me..that's not my thing. I never had a cavity until I turned 18. I blame it on drinking energy drinks during high school so I could stay up late on the weekends like a "cool kid".
When I went to the dentist during my 18th year of life I had not just one or two....but EIGHTEEN FRIGGING CAVITIES!!! REALLY?! So I had those shit tons of holes filled and went on with my life.
Well I just went to the dentist during pregnancy and guess what they find? TWENTY FRIGGING CAVITIES!!!! How is this even possible?!?! They must not know I had fillings before, but I let them fill them anyway because "these cavities are taking over my whole teeth...bla bla bla". So they filled three molars on the top of my mouth on each side.
The only reason I went to the dentist is because I had this HUGE cavity on one of my front top teeth on the side!!! It was definitely obvious and it was quickly eating away my tooth and I was afraid it was going to fall out if not taken care of! So they put a filling in that one as well. Well a couple of months ago, I woke up in the middle of the night I woke up to a severe pain in my face. Turns out it was an infection in the front tooth! Yikes! So I was put on an antibiotic, but it was too late, and it didn't help at all. My tooth needed a root canal. So I had to go to the U of M dentist school to have a root canal done.
As of right now I have my original tooth still because they advised against me putting a crown on it right away because it turns out the nerve was COMPLETELY dead and they are afraid the tooth may just decide it wants to fall out. Great. I have to pay out of pocket for the crown which can be any where from 500 dollars and up. Probably a lot more. So we are playing a waiting game on this tooth, to see if it is going to fall out....at 20 years old! If it does, I will have to buy a bridge to put in there....which is like fucking dentures. It's really a saddening thought and I hope to God that my tooth decides to hang out in there and I can get a crown...
Well last night I was flossing my teeth (just so you know, this is a regular habit, along with brushing twice and using flouride rinse...I don't have scum mouth and I do take care of them, which is the strange part!) and a filling in one of my teeth fell out!!!! I was so pissed! So I had to go get it refilled. And since I use stupid medicaid, I can only go to one dentist in town, and I REALLY don't feel like they are the best choice for fixing my teeth since obviously the filling they put in fell out!! But what other choice do I have?! :(
Suppposedly I have cavities on the bottom molars as well, but before I let them touch them, I WILL be having my old dentist ship records over to them on what teeth were filled since I have an idea they don't know...and the top molars they did are with the metal fillings-not so cute and I DEFINATELY don't want my bottom teeth covered in them unnecessarily.
I wish I knew just how bad my teeth are going to get....I would just rip them all out now and get dentures if that is what I am going to have to do in the long run anyways. It's just a saddening thought. My gramps and dad both have terrible teeth-practically none of my grandpa's are real and my dad's are being eaten away as well. I have a feeling it's a genetic thing and I am screwed to have false teeth in the future. FML! :( But at least if I got dentures I could make them pearly and white :D since if you have ever seen my teeth, you would think I was chewing on poo all day-that's how nasty colored they are. Gotta think positive I suppose.

Camping (involuntarily) in my house...
So I just thought I would blog about this....it was a pretty big ordeal. and I think it is worth blogging about. Not this past Thursday, but the Thursday before (yes I know, it has already been a couple weeks since it happened, but hey, at least I am finally writing about it right?) In the middle of the night, I get up to pee. (Like all pregnant woman in their 37th week of pregnancy do) Well the house seems a bit nippy. The heater says it is 65 in our house, which isn't too bad, but I go ahead and turn it up to 68.
Bryan woke up and went to work and said something about the heater, but I wasn't exactly listening, since I was sleeping and all. I wake up around 10ish Friday morning, and the house feels even colder. Bryan calls me on his break, and says he turned the heater off. I got mad and was like "WHY?! It is frigging 40 degrees outside!" Turns out the heater was running, but not letting out any hot air. He had went down into the basement to check it (just so you all know, he knows NOTHING about heaters...or most appliances like that.) and I guess it looked broken to him. He said the flame wasn't shooting right so he turned it off. I obeyed him and didn't turn it back on either. And he said he would call our landlord to get it fixed.
So this particular day (and weekend) is supposed to be very cold...and it had gotten down into the 20s the night before....our house was like 58 (and dropping) all day!!! Still not too bad, I could rap up in a blankie and be fine... Just not the most comfortable weather to be sitting in all day. Well I had a doctor's appointment and so I had to take a bath...when I got in, my toes Burnt!! BURNT!!! Like when you are little and you are playing outside in the snow forever, then you come back in and wash your hands and they literally feel on fire? Well that's what my feet were doing, however I had not been playing outside-I was just in a freezing house!
Bryan tells me that our landlord is going to come over and take a look at the heater first, before he calls the heater guy. (Apparently I am not the only one that knows Bryan is not mechanically inclined...and he felt he needed to take a look before he called and spent money on it! lol.) So I sat around the rest of Friday, with no landlord ever showing up. Apparently a pregnant person in a cold house is not a top priority to him. Bryan called him when he got out of work, and our landlord said he would be over on Saturday morning!
So that meant another cold night in the house...except our house temperature started out at about 54 degrees before we went to bed. Bryan and I slept with every blanket in the house...and cuddled (which meant it was REALLY cold, because Bryan is NOT a cuddler!) When you haven't been able to get warm all day, 54 seems to feel like the coldest temperature in the world. I have pretty bad asthma and so by the time I woke up, my lungs were hurting...and my ears were numb. My hair felt frozen! At like 5 in the morning, I decided to google camping in cold weather... a little late, I know, but at least I was trying to find a way to be warm NOW. It said to sleep with a hat on to keep your heat in your head. Why had I never thought of that?! So I crawled back into bed and wrapped a blanket around our heads, which made us instantly feel warmer!!! Miracle! :) Bryan of course got to go to work and enjoy being warm for a bit while I had to wait in the cold house for the landlord to get there. When Bryan woke up and looked at the thermostat, he comes in and says "It's Jimmie Johnson in here". I didn't get it at first, but for any of you NASCAR fans, he meant it was 48 degrees in our house!!! (by the way, I barely slept at all!) I just laid in bed, with that blanket wrapped around my head and like 4blankets up to my nose...reading facebook updates on my iphone. My poor chihuahuas were freezing! One of them has really big eyes, and he kept closing them because his tears were so cold! It was the saddest thing I have ever seen, yet I could do nothing to make them feel better...they just shook in their bed I filled with towels! (Well I could have wrapped them in the blanket with me, but my husband is very allergic to dogs...so that was a no go.) The landlord never showed up until almost 11am. He took a quick look at the heater and decided...Yep, we needed the heater guy to come out and fix it. However our landlord tried to self diagnose as well...and he is no heater specialist either. So the part that he thought the heater specialist needed was a thermal cuflink something or another. I guess the heater guy didn't have any of those in stock, and around 5pm we get a call from our landlord telling us that the heater guy wouldn't have any in stock until Monday! Luckily Bryan's boss let him borrow a space heater, so we could sleep in a warm room...however going to the bathroom when our house was less than 50degrees was a bitch! The seat was like ICE!!!! And I have to pee on average like 7times a night now!
So we sat in our bedroom all Sunday (My standard poodle Maude pooped in her bed Sunday too...and I had to give her a bath in this cold weather because she rolled all over in it....that was a matter my husband and I practically killed each other over...Maude hasn't gone to the bathroom in the house in MONTHS!!!! So why now?! When I am 9months pregnant and the house has no heat?!) and I hung out in there all Monday with that space heater. Who knows how much that is going to set us back...I am pretty sure it is expensive to constantly have one running. The heater guy finally shows up at like 10:30, comes up after a few minutes and says "you're all set. It was just dirty." WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JUST DIRTY?!?! That guy could have come out and cleaned the damn thing Friday afternoon and we would have had heat all weekend if our dumbass landlord wasn't so cheap!
But I left the heater going, and it didn't seem to be getting any warmer in the house. I went to babysit for a friend and when I got back, the house handn't gotten any warmer. So our heater had been running since this guy left with NO heat being let out!!! I turned it off, and when Bryan got home he turned it back on and it was working just fine...but think of all the electricity we wasted with the space heater and the heater running with no heat being emmitted! Kind of pisses me off....but the part that pisses me off the most is that I had to pee on a frigging freezing toilet seat the entire weekend. On top of all that...it got warm again like two days later...so if this would have happened like 3days before hand or 3days after, we wouldn't have needed a heater at all...
Personally I would have much rather camped outside...but at least I have a story of the time my husband and I had to freeze to death in our house unnecessarily. Makes for a good laugh now that I have feeling in my toes and ears again.

My Valentines day
SO...since this whole thing is to help me remember, I have been reminding myself that I need to write about my Valentines Day before I forget! But Obviously I have been forgetting to write about it! hahaha! Soooo... needless to say, I am going to write about it now, so that I can forever remember it! :)
It was on a Sunday this year, so that was nice, because that is the only day a week my husband has off. Well we HAD planned on going to church, but I wanted to sleep in, so we missed that...and good thing too, since Bryan surprised me with breakfast in bed!! YAY! That is the first time in my entire pregnancy that he has actually surprised me with it too! So it was REALLY special! He also remembered that I have been craving poached eggs (but was too scared to eat them because of "it being raw and getting sick"... boo...I have stopped caring about that because honestly, how many people do you know that get sick from slightly undercooked eggs or eating cookie dough? I am done worrying! Bad things happen to those who worry anyway!) and made me some...carrying them into the room with a lit candle. (?) I said "the candle is really sweet honey, but it's not my birthday, so what exactly is it for?" lol. Very sweet gesture, and I believe it was his attempt at making eggs romantic :) lol. He could have tried by eating his eggs that he made himself in bed with me, but instead I watch him go eat his eggs on the couch in front of the t.v. instead of joining me in bed...MEN! lol. Oh well...it was still very sweet and I enjoyed it very much! Beggars can't be choosers!
Then he HAD to watch the damn Daytona 500 NASCAR race (even though we have TWO DVR boxes in our house) and his brother and friend called and wanted him to join them down the road at his friend's house (yes they're both single, how'd you know?! :) haha)...so I said, go ahead, I will clean the house while you are gone (MUCH more entertaining than the NASCAR race...I only used to enjoy it with a couple beers in me, but I don't see THAT happening anytime soon, so frankly, I'd rather him leave and me clean...even on Vday! ) And while he was gone, I made the house squeaky clean, made two deserts (chocolate chip cookies *from a tube of course!* and this oreo cream pie *from a box of course!* ) and baked chicken sandwhiches with a salad and stuffing *from a box of course! (well the stuffing anyway!)* and I also took a shower! YAY me for being superwife AND finding time to bathe! I sure did it all! :) I even decorated the table all fancy with Valentines stuffed animals from last year (we bought them AFTER Vday so they had been like $3 a piece...I KNEW they would come in handy! lol) and put candles all over the table and a picture frame of us, put in a video I had made that had pics of us and put on the "sounds of the season" music channel that conveinently was playing love songs for Valentines day :) Bryan did good at attempting to enjoy my romantic dinner too...he didn't turn the race on until AFTER we got done eating, YAY him! :) But he did blow the candles out next to him :( (oh well....) BUT he didn't drink out of the two liter this time and actually poured it into a glass that I left in front of him (usually he just brings the two liter to the table and drinks straight out of it...guess he is looking out for me since I HATE dishes with a passion).
Later on in the evening (after the NASCAR race I mean) we watched the Invention Of Lying. Which in our opinion, was a great movie....but never ask us for our opinion on movies, because since I have found the perfect movie watching partner, a movie never seems to be bad to us-they are always at least slightly entertaining.
SO overall it was a nice Valentines day. Last year for our first Valentines day we went to the Ukai Grill in Lansing, which is AMAZING, and we had planned on going again this year-but it is like 40bucks and with me being pregnant and loving lots of food, I was afraid it wouldn't be enough food and I would leave hungry :) So maybe next year :)

Pregnancy weeks 31-32
So, I do love being pregnant, I really do...BUT I am completely ready for this to be over! Here is what has been going on during weeks 31-32 of pregnancy...
Last week I went to the Doctors office, learned that Little Bryan is measuring a week ahead...told the doctor that Big Bryan weighed 11lbs at birth and found out that Little Bryan could in fact take after his dad! We will have an ultrasound around 36 weeks to see how big little Bryan is measuring, and if he is measuring big, I may have to be induced! Which will be nice, because it will cut down the time I have to spend being pregnant! YAY! and I will get to meet my son sooner! DOUBLE YAY! Either way, time is flying and before I know it, I will be a mom! Unbelievable! I am finding myself picturing what his face will look like, and it is such a hard thing to do-I just can't wait to see who he takes after! The suspence is killling me!
The downside to being pregnant, and I am sure everyone has the same issues as me, is the weight gain, waddling like a duck that started last week, hip pain, back pain, stomach pains, rib pains (from little Bryan kicking the crap out of them), breathing issues, I feel like a turtle when I walk (...there is no speed walking for me!), sleepless nights, you feel like you will never have a "good looking" day again (you know..the ones where you could get out of bed, brush your teeth, pick off a little of the leftover mascara and think "hey, it's not so bad, it almost looks like I tried!")... I have given up wearing makeup or doing my hair...really, what's the freaking point?! My face is like a damn balloon right now! Big Bryan has to fight with me when we go out just to put a pair of jeans on and take my pajamas off...he should try being pregnant! Even my freaking fat clothes don't fit! I bought a few things in a bigger size, thinking I could wear them like my last two weeks of pregnancy...well I have been wearing them for a MONTH now, and they have been quickly getting too small (I yell at Bryan for shrinking them in the dryer, but I know the truth-I am turning into a WHALE!) and now that I am wearing my too small clothes in the big size, I have nothing to move up to and that is a depressing feeling! :(
Plus apparently being 32 weeks pregnant means that you have to be up 32 times a day peeing! The other night I made the mistake of drinking a glass of water about 2hours before bed (I was thirsty..was I supposed to be thirsty all night?!) and was up literally every hour on the hour taking a leak! The part that made me the maddest is that I BARELY could squeeze any pee out...Little Bryan was just resting a little too much on my bladder! grrr!
The other day I was brushing my teeth, getting ready for bed, and of course, out of no where, a sudden urge to pee occurs....so here I am trying to brush my teeth while peeing... and you know what I discovered? Brushing your teeth without a mirror is seriously like trying to learn how to brush your damn teeth all over again! or like trying with the other hand! It felt sooo wrong and awkward! Don't believe me? Go try not looking and see how well you can brush your teeth! It sucked! and I ended up having to brush my teeth twice as long, because after I got done peeing, I had to stand in front of the mirror and brush them all over again, because whatever I was doing to them while peeing was NOT cleaning them!
There are some pros to being pregnant though, and before I forget completely what they are, I will write them down as well! I LOVE feeling little Bryan move! It is such a cool feeling (don't get me wrong...seeing his feet hanging out on top of my ribs is a little bit weird, but mostly cool). I love the fact that Bryan, whom I love so much, and I are going to have a baby together!!! It is really neat knowing the baby will be half him, half me! And the love I have for LB, before he is even born, is amazing, I can't wait to meet him! ..... so yeah, for now those are pretty much the only pros to being pregnant I can think of! ;)
I also stopped babysitting too....which is nice! I was so tired all the time, and it is amazing how much energy watching a nine month old can take out of you! I don't know how parent's can have kids back to back! The worst part for me I think was that I was taking care of a baby ALLLLLL day every day, with no patience, no energy and sleep deprived and she wasn't even mine! I think if it were my child and I was pregnant, it wouldn't be as hard because I love my child :) BUT now that I have not been baby sitting for two days, I am finding myself with NOTHING to do! I was watching her for so long, I forgot what I used to do on my days off! I bet I will find something I enjoy doing, and then right after I do, I will have little Bryan and NEVER have time for it anymore! :) So I am trying to enjoy these last weeks by myself, it is just hard not to find myself bored! (call me crazy! lol)....it probably doesn't help that I don't have a car to drive myself anywhere! But HOPEFULLY that changes soon!

Sooooo I thought of my next blog...I know I know, I have only had a blog for a total of ten minutes... but upon making myself a blogging page, I came across something that really ticks me off, and I am sure a few can relate.
Something that irritates me and makes me feel dumber than anything is those stupid "Captcha" or whatever the hell their called things...you know-the little box that pops up with the most random words you could ever think of and it tells you to type them in the box before the website can let you proceed with what you are doing? Such a simple invention, and seems like something smart to keep spam from being posted on websites...but sometimes I would really much rather just deal with the spam than have to deal with that darn "captcha" thing. ( Don't really know if that is what it is called, but for now, that is what I am calling it) It will give me a random word and simply tell me to type it exactly as it is spelled into the box. Well I wish it were that simple, but for me, it's not...I must not be able to read them right or something, because even when I am fairly positive I spelt it right (never am I 100% positive I spelled it right) it will make me retype a new one in....and then another, until finally I guess close enough and it lets me in! But I would really love it if I could get it the first time...(or not have to do those stupid things at all, but I don't ever see that happening again) Just wondering if I am the only one in the world that sucks at those things....there has to be SOMEONE out there that is just as bothered by sucking at them as much as me!!!
That's all for now! :)

Reasoning for why I am starting a blog...
Soooo... I have been contemplating this whole keeping a blog thing...not exactly sure why I want to do it...maybe it is the fact that I can never remember what happens in my life and it would be pretty fantastic to be able to look back on it and be like "Heeeyyyyy I DO remember that!" I tried keeping a journal...and to my surprise it lasted a few months, and back when I used to "watch what I ate" I was REALLY good at writing down everything I had consumed in a day...but now that I am pregnant and tired and obviously NOT watching my weight, I sit around a lot on the computer, not writing anything I ever do down anymore, and I figure MAYBE if my journal is conveintly placed on my computer, I just may write in it every once in a while! We'll see....anyone wanna place bets on how long I keep this up? I swear you wont have to follow for too long, considering after I have my son in about 8 weeks I may just completely forget I ever started this in the first place! I may have to write a reminder on my fridge that I did such a thing since the lovely brain that was placed in my cranium is defective....
