Tots

I think my tots get bigger by the day. I can honestly say that before being pregnant my chest area was extremely lacking...to say the least. Now?? Wow!!! Yeah, there are some negative side effects to being pregnant (Oh, I dunno...farting everytime you cough or blow your nose?) but these new assets of mine are definitely a positive! I better enjoy them while I can. Rumor has it they go away :( Pooey!!!!! I know, the picture wasn't necessary, but everyone needs a little visual once and awhile!

Bloopdeedoop

This is just simply a piece of chocolate cake that Mina brought me today. I am not a huge fan of chocolate normally, but oooooooh my gosh this was so delicious. I took the first bite and I said out loud..WOW!!!!! Its actually irrlevant really how much I loved this piece of cake, but I just felt like sharing this news with you.

This is my little guy at only 8 weeks, while this next picture is the one where I was 21 weeks! Look at how much he has grown in just 13 weeks!

This is my little buddy :) Right after he got done rubbing his eyes! I love this picture!

My Little Buddy!!!!!

Soooo...I'm going to have a son!!! Yesterday morning I was soo nervous for my ultrasound yet so excited at the same time! My appointment was at 11:30 and my mother and I were there just in time! The lady called my name and I went into the dark room, laid on the bed, and exposed my daily growing belly! The cold jelly goes on, and POP..there my little baby was on the screen! So much bigger than the last time! My last ultrasound was at 11 weeks, and this one I was 21 weeks, so a 10 whole week difference! The whole reason I was getting an ultrasound was to check the baby for birth defects..and just make sure everything was normal. The lady was scanning over my belly for about a half an hour! She looked at every organ possible in every viewing position possible as well as checking measurements of all the different parts of the brain and such! She asked if I wanted to know the gender and I said...Yes...but I want you to write it on this card. We are going to put it in the envelope and open it up tonight with the whole family around. So she wrote it down. Then she said that she just needed one more view of the baby's face to make sure he didn't have a cleft pallet. She could not get a good picture because baby was laying face down! She had me empty my bladder, move around from side to side and it just wasn't doing any good! She then goes...oh well it looks like we did some good, look he's rubbing his eyes! <----SPILLED THE BEANS!!! I totally caught it, and so did my mom. I knew my sister was going to be sad...but it was not my fault!! So when we left, I called her right away and told her that the nurse lady spilled the beans. I wanted to double check to make sure she wasn't pullin our chain so we opened the envelope and sure enough it said boy. So I'm going to have a little baby boy!!! Now I don't have to wonder if I'm going to have a son or daughter in a couple months, I can just know that I'll have a son! I can't wait to meet him, kiss him, and show him how much I love him! I hope he looks like me, that would make things that much more special :) The ultrasound lady had to write a full report on the ultrasound and give it to the doctor for my monthly appointment this morning. I got there and he said, your baby is beautiful! Everything was normal! Which makes me very very happy! I have some pictures I want to show, but I can't figure out how to make it so when I add a picture (if I was to add one right now) how to make it so it doesn't automatically just go to the top?

Boy or Girl?

Today I get to find out if I will have a son or daughter in 4 months! The thought is absolutely crazy. I have no inkling what so ever about what I am having, so it will be such a surprise tonight when I get to open the envelope with the much awaited news. I have been waiting since June 10th for this. June 10th is the day I took the pregnancy test. Everyday since then, I have been wondering if I have a little girl or a little boy inside me. Now that I feel my little love bean kick and squirm around, I wonder even more if its a little girl or a little boy! It will be nice to eliminate one gender so I can really buckle down on names. Its so hard seriously. I change my mind everyday, and everyday it seems that a name gets added or deleted from the list. Here is my list today. For a girl, I really like the names Bryler, Harlow, and Skylar. The whole middle name thing is still up in the air but I have some ideas. For a boy I have really close to nothing. I used to be set on the name Jace, or Jayce, but then when I put it in a sentence like this, "Jace's schedule keeps changing everyday!" it sounds like shit. I don't like saying "Jace's" it sounds dumb. So that one is OFF the list thank you very much. The only boy name currently ON the list is Axton. I have always been set on having the middle name be Nathaniel, after my brother of course. So Axton Nathaniel is the boys name for the day..and maybe it will even stick for 2 or 3. That is...of course depending on what I find out this evening!!!!!

Oooooopsies :)

This morning I accidentally locked my keys in my car. Now, anyone who really knows me knows that I am the master at locking my keys in my car. Meaning, if I go a month without doing so, it is a miracle. There are places in which I do not lock my car and just leave my keys in the ignition. Then there are places in which I lock my car. I should probably just lock my car at all points in time but there are times in which I leave my purse in my car even. (Don't worry I have no money anyways). My spare key is in my purse. So basically..if I accidentally lock myself out of my car, and I left my purse in my car..then I'm screwed! Triple A has been an excellent friend of mine for they have saved me in these sticky situations probably around 20 times. Not even joking. My Dad was already at work this morning when I realized I locked my keys in the car. So I called him and I said.."dad..I did something bad." He said....you locked your keys in your car? Yes sir that is correct could you please come help me? He said..where's your spare? I respond with...umm...in my purse that is in my car? So my lovely father drove all the way back out to the house to get my car unlocked. How nice. He could have just gave me a ride to work with him..but my cell phone was in my car and come on give me a break as if I could just go a full day without that. Get reeeeeeal.

Coughing Spell

I know, I am horrible. I have been slacking an immense amount at writing in this thing. Honestly, its not intentional, and honestly..if I forced myself to write on here it would just be shit. I still don't really have much to write right now, but I could at least be courteous enough to update you on my life. For one, baby is doing very well. I feel little meatball (even though I should start referring to it as meatloaf for it is far bigger than a meatball) moves around all the time and I love feeling it. I get to find out if it is a girl or a boy on Thursday and I just am so excited I can hardly sleep! Well actually I can hardly sleep lately because I have this ridiculous cough that will not go away. I get approximately 2 to 3 hours of sleep every night only because the rest of the time I lay there and cough my brains out. One of the luxuries of being pregnant is that you can't take over the counter medications to soothe such symptoms, instead you just have to deal with them. Awesome! It has been about a week and a half of this coughing spell and I couldn't take it anymore. I was going to wait to talk to the doctor about it on Friday when I have my monthly appointment, but I couldn't wait any longer. I called the doctor today and I was in at 10am. Well a lung infection it was my friends. I got prescribed some baby safe medicine and hopefully I'll feel better in a day or so :) I'm crossing my fingers! This past weekend I went to Milwaukee to get the rest of my clothes. I saw my closet and was instantly in wonderful spirits. Of course, a majority of these clothes probably don't fit over my belly...but still. I am very much enjoying my time with my wonderful Cody, and things couldn't be going better. He joined me on my trip to Milwaukee and we sure had a good time! We didn't really do as much as we thought we were going to, but thats okay :) Due to my lack of sleep, I really didn't have much energy to be gallivanting around anyways. Okay thats good for now.

Good Times, Good Times

I was just browsing through my external hard drive looking at pictures from past times. Drinking ones mostly. I came across some really funny ones. I just need to share them. I forget what it feels like to be three sheets to the wind. I miss my friends :( Don't worry, I'm coming to visit soon, I just have been busy growing a human!

Ashley and I on Spring Fling, drunk at..I had to think about it, and then I remembered we started drinking in our 9am class. Excellence.

Amber and I on her 21st Birthday! I'm drinking Pabst I just know it. I love it.

Beau and I, one of our many drinking nights. But this was Amber R's 21st birthday night

Now this is Amber W's 21st birthday on the Party Bus! Bob wanted to take a picture of me looking my best!

Oh me and my love bean Erin! Her birthday!!

This was an evening with Whitney and Dustin and John. John passed out and I put on his sweatshirt and Grandma Janice's velcro sneaks.

Awww, me and my bestie on her 21st! My eyes were still open slightly at this point.

Andrea and I drinking in a social setting aka on the counter. Both on our cell phones. Typical :)

Andrea and I again, on her 21st Birthday if I remember correctly. Or not correctly. Either way.

This night was fun! This was when us three first moved into our apartment last year and had a "ladies night". Too much happened this evening. Let me try to remember.

1. We got incredibly shitfaced

2.We were dressed in ridiculous outifts

3.The RA came knocking on the door because we were being too loud and Brittany ran to the bathroom to hide and she was so loud running it sounded like a herd of buffalo. I was stuck answering the door in a lime green evening gown, a camo hat, a pink corduroy jacket with white fur on it and brown chucks. Somehow, we didn't get asked if we were drinking..although I'm not really sure what humans would just be wearing this attire sober.

4. We made a cake and licked the frosting off only.

5. Took a million pictures!

6.Knocked down absolutely EVERYTHING in our shower including the shower rod, and curtain as well as putting a huge hole in the ceiling in the bathroom.

This is just an infamous party picture because Brittany looks rather absurd in this one. Well dead sexy really. Super Tan, and Super pretty smile. I laugh really hard everytime I see it. After she saw it, she instantly bought a tanning package. Well I think she had to get it approved by her parents first so she could charge it to her card :)

This was an evening just Brit and I went out, we didn't even expect to get drunk but ended up having a real good time. We have a lot of crazy pictures from this night.

Night of the beverage, "Mess you up's" Delicious really!
