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....
