See the Widget over the on the right hand part of my screen that says "baby will mostly sleep this week" BS! I have never felt Axton so active in the entire 6 + months that I have been pregnant! I am not complaining, because I really do love feeling my little buddy gettin real good at his dance moves. I believe it is approximately 11 days until I get to move into my new apartment!

Deedle Dee
I just have a couple random things I'd like to share.
Birthing Class:
On Wednesday I had my first childbirth preparation class that was held at the hospital I am going to deliver at. Since Axton's father chooses to not be involved in his life, my sister came with me for my support person. Cody and my sister will probably switch on and off as far as who comes with me to my classes to be my "support person." As Jessie and I arrived, there was a table with a bunch of stuff on it. We had to make name tags for ourselves and grab a package thing and help ourselves to some juice or water if we wanted. I was the person in the class with the furthest away due date. There was this one lady there that was due in a couple weeks!! There was only one other person that had a due date kind of close to mine and hers was January 25th. You think that we would be relatively matching when it comes to tummy size..but NO! She looked like she was about ready to go any day. I couldn't even believe it! When we all introduced ourselves to each other in front of the class, we had to state our name, our doctor, due date, and if we knew..boy or girl. The woman that had the due date of January 25th that looked ready to pop explained a lot when it was her turn. She was pregnant with twin boys!!! No wonder she looked sooooo much bigger than me!!! It was her first pregnancy, and boy was she in for an experience. Twins! I can't imagine. Anyways...we just did a couple activites, watched a little movie and learned about "warning signs" and things to watch out for. Cody lives about 1 minute from the hospital...so after the class I was going to go right there. Since my sister was on the phone the entire way to the hospital, she couldn't remember how to get back to the freeway. Don't worry...I had to drive my car in front of her to lead her aallllllll the way there. Its the least I could do for such a great sister who is so supportive! (Even though she said that people might think of us as lesbian lovers at this class).
Boyfriend:
I can't even begin to describe to you how thankful I am for Cody coming into my life. I have to give all props to my friend Mandy who set us up on our sort of blind date. I thought she was absolutely crazy. What guy is going to want to start dating a girl that is (at the time) 15 weeks pregnant? After we had hung out a couple times, we definitely liked each other more than just friends. I had to ask him the awkward questions about me being pregnant and if it bothers him...that sort of thing. I have had boyfriends that have been super nice to me, and I've had boyfriends that are just complete jerk wads. I realize that it is not everyday that you come across a guy like Cody. He accepts me for who I am..and accepts me..and my son. He will wake up earlier than I do for work, just to scrape my car for me and get it nice and toasty. He knows that I can't go out and drink, so on Friday nights he is perfectly content staying home with me and watching movies. Since I am growing a human, it seems to swipe out all my energy. I go to bed literally at like 9 or 9:30 every night. I can't stay up much longer than that. Since I go to bed at 9 or 9:30..that means Cody does too. I'm not sure if he just lays there forever while I fall asleep in one second, or if he is now able to actually go to sleep that early too. He rubs and kisses my belly and talks to Baby Axton everyday, and I love that so much. Its insane how supportive he is. Last night he had his head and hands on my belly, and Axton kicked him so hard in the jaw! Wherever Cody put his hand, Axton would kick there. I think babies can sense the heat or something, I guess I'm not sure. If there isn't a chair around, Cody also will put my shoes on for me since bending over is such a task. (of course he does snicker at me a bit when I attempt to get my shoes on myself with out a chair) I am so thankful that Cody wants to be a part of Axtons life, and I'm so thankful that he is as loving and supportive as he is. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend, honestly.
Today I am going to eat lunch with my Oma and Opa. I have not seen or talked to them since I have found out I am pregnant. I am kind of nervous, but hope everything will work out fine. I am sure I am going to get asked questions about the "father" and I'm just going to answer honestly. It may not be what they want to hear, but it is the honest truth. I don't have control over whether he wants to be a part of his son's life or not. Therefore, there isn't much I can really do about it. I think schooling will be a topic of importance in our conversations. I am sure they just want to know what my plans are with school and want to make sure my priorities are still in line as far as my career. Besides all of this mumbo jumbo, I am super excited to see them! It has been awhile and I love hearing about what is going on in their lives. Wish me luck!

Some Things that I love..
I am not a fan of mint. Mint gum, mint mouthwash, mint anything. The problem with this is that most toothpastes are minty. Minus the citrus (gag me) or the cinnamon (its okay but doesn't leave my teeth feeling very clean). This toothpaste here is a lifesaver. It is not minty, but not not minty, just enough minty for me to handle and makes my teeth feel nice and clean. If I was stuck using really minty toothpaste, I would be brushing my teeth with tears in my eyes. Thanks Crest for making such a groovy kind of toothpaste, I love it!
This right here has saved me thus far from any stretch marks. Therefore, I love it. Hopefully it will keep my stomach/butt/thighs/boobs stretch mark free the whole way through!
Man do I love this stuff. My friend Mandy sells Mary Kay and I decided I would try this to see if it would help my pregnancy pepperoni face. Guess what, it definitely helps. To be honest, I didn't really notice a difference RIGHT AWAY, but I did after a week. I use it everyday now, and if I forget for even a day I notice a difference. Maybe its a love hate relationship I have with this product. Stinkin love it because it helps, but hate it because my face looks like poop when I don't use it now. I'm addicted.
Man do I love I-tunes. I really do. I used to use Windows Media Player and it just doesn't even come close to how awesome I tunes is. Call me silly, but it is one of the loves in my life.
Fireplaces. Man. I really do love fireplaces. They are so cozy and warm. I could just sit and do nothing in front of a fireplace for hours! Well, I actually would need to get up and get something to drink and eat, but besides that and bathroom breaks, I really would sit for hours in front of a fireplace. The sound, the smell, and the insane warmth of course! Love it!
I discovered these cookies at Wal-mart a couple days ago. Oh my lanta, I can not describe to you how delicious they are. For one, sugar cookies are really the only kind of cookie I like. I can eat other kinds, don't get me wrong, but only one at a time and not very often. Sugar cookies are a different story. These Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies are a whole different novel. These things are to DIE for. There was only two packs left..and when I had bought them I noticed it said "limited edition." I figured I would still only buy one pack because I didn't know if I would like them or not. I am kicking myself for this because Cody and I polished this pack of cookies off within minutes, not joking. When we made the trip back to Wal-mart...they were gone. No longer. Non-existent. Limited Time Edition no longer available. Shit!
Tom Hanks. Man do I love Tom Hanks. I sometimes forget how much I actually love him. Not that he's drop dead sexy by any means, but I love watching movies that he is in. I just watched Cast Away the other night and it was the first time in awhile that I watched one of his movies. I fell madly in love all over again. He is just so amazing at acting. He can do every emotion under the sun and amazingly. You've got Mail= great movie. Big=awesome movie. The terminal=killer flick. Cast away=stinkin amazing. You know, now that I think about it, I have never seen Saving Private Ryan. Man I better add that to my netflix list asap.Wednesday, September 30, 2009
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?
