Monday I went to the zoo with Axton and my friend Ashley. I was sooo excited because I knew Axton would just LOVE it. He loves making every kind of animal sound possible so to actually see the animals in real life vs. a flash card and/or book would be AWESOME! Story goes, it actually SUCKED! The really cool animals that I was most looking forward to were either on the complete other side of their "living space" or they were sleeping and literally looked DEAD. Axton makes lion rawrs to absolutely everything, even to get my attention sometimes. So obviously I was thinking the lion would be a hit. Well why wouldn't the lion be in the furthest corner with his ass pointing our direction. As if I can pick Axton up and point out the lions butt (which he wouldn't even be able to pick out that far away) and actually have him understand it was a lion. Such a disappointment! The Tiger was the only big animal like that, that was out and about but it was furthest from viewing site so again, not like I could point him out to Axton. I LOVE watching any kind of monkey, but especially the gorillas! Were they outside on their huge playground thing? Of course not! They were inside so dead do the world that they honestly looked dead. I wanted to get to the zoo earlier rather than later before it got too hot and I got too huge. I really don't handle heat well even NOT pregnant. I always get dizzy and black out. So being pregnant makes it even more extreme since I have a mini heater inside me. With the zoo being such a non-success, I think I'm going to have to give it another shot. Can't decide which would be worse/better. Go again when I'm really huge, my back/feet really kill after the zoo day, and hate every bit of the heat...OR wait until Zaidyn is born and not be pregnant...carry her around in a nice little sling..and avoid the back issues etc but the heat issues would still be there. Who knows. I'm sure my sister will want to bring Dexter to the zoo at some point this summer so I guess she'll decide for me which one I choose since I'll just go when she goes. Anyways, these are literally the only two pictures I took at the zoo.
I lied, I actually took ONE more picture of the flamingos but I figured I would spare you that one. It's really bizarre because I thought I was being smart by going on a Monday morning quite early in the season but apparently not. There were people EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!! I usually don't mind being around big groups of people what not so forth, but it really seemed to be getting to me. I know exactly why. Because there would be a group of kids (maybe about 12 to 15) with ONE chaperone. They were out of control! I get that kids are full of energy and like to run around and be wild..but it was taken to a whole new level when I heard the kids swearing, hitting each other etc and no one saying anything about it. This was also the case with kids there with their parents not in a group. I'm not saying this is the case with every parent because that is definitely NOT the case..but what is with some parents these days doing such a half ass job at teaching their kids right from wrong? When I say "these days" I just mean that it seems to be more prevalent now-a-days. Last time I was at a grocery store there was a kid probably about 5 or 6 that was going down the isle with his mom AND dad saying "fuck fuck fuck fuck". Did they say anything about it? NO!!!!!!!! It honestly makes me frightened to think of the type of kids my children will be surrounded by at school and what kind of influence they will be. Again I say, I know not EVERY kid is like this...but still. It is really frustrating. Being a mother is work! Whether you decided to become a Mom or life decided for you, either way...you have to do your stinking job and making sure your child is a decent human being..at the least! Get with the program here people!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zaidyn's nursery is....well....coming along I guess you could say. I haven't done much since the last time I updated. I'm still working on the mobile. It is taking FOREVER!!!!!!! Whenever there is a Brewer's game on Cody and I always tune in and that seems to be when I whip out the needle and thread and get moving on the mobile stuff. I have like 20 more to do and then I can actually start assembling. I need to hit up a JoAnn fabrics sometime soon so I can get some buttons to add to the mobile circles as well as some green fabric for a little project that came to mind. My mother and I added this to the wall last week to shnaz up that wall a little bit since we can't paint here:
Don't mind the quote "Nature is the best physician." Although I agree, I think I'm going to ditch that part of this wall decal. I still have lots of her laundry to do and put away as well as just organizing her stuff and making room in a cupboard for her stuff that needs cupboard space. I really can't believe that I will be full term in 5 short weeks and then she could come at anytime. (crossing fingers for sooner rather than later). I have a doctors appointment next week in which I will also schedule my next ultrasound to get a final call on the whole placenta issue. I believe that my doctor said 36 weeks would be the best time to have it. I'm not worried about it..at all actually...but I'm not going to complain about getting to see my daughter again before her big arrival! I've always been super excited to meet her, but now I find myself always thinking about what she is going to look like, if she'll be an easy going baby like Axton or quite a bit more work etc etc. I think she is going to be identical to Cody but that is just what my mommy instincts are telling me. Cody has bright blue eyes and I have brown eyes. Odds are she will have brown eyes since its the dominant trait but that is so not a for sure thing!!!!!! If she has brown eyes then she will look like me in that sense but if she has blue eyes..hands down she will be a mini Cody. What the heck do I know, I can't say either way because you just never know. Will she have lots of hair or no hair? Our last ultrasound the tech said she has hair already and we even saw her eyelashes..but I mean..she could lose that hair before she comes out? Who the heck knows. When Axton was born, my sister, my mother, Cody and Cody's mother were in the room with me. I think this time we are going to have it a little more low key. Cody wanted it just him and I, until I asked him who the heck was going to take the pictures? Obviously not him..so that snuck in my sister. My mom is going to be watching Axton whenever I shall go into labor. I feel most comfortable with my Mom watching Axton since I will probably be so sad to leave him. I've only ever left him over night ONE time and I spend every waking second with him. The hospital stay will be the longest time away from him. I am excited for him to meet his new sister,even though I'm sure he won't give a rats butt just because he's not really to the age to get it yet.
Any hoot hoots, there is my two cents for the day.
