Early Birthday Present!!!

I have the best husband in all the world…I’ve been getting birthday presents early!! (birthday is 2 weeks away) The first was the new Miranda Lambert album-which I love. Then today he came home with this. The coolest and best carseat out there 🙂 My little monkey is going to be so comfy and safe! I wish he was here so we could put him in it. Honestly I want to put it in the car right now…crazy prego lady that I am.

The Bub

Well it’s almost 6:30 in the am and bub (belly full of oatmeal) is happily watching pooh…his sleeping routine is changing again-which has left all of us a little tired(and grumpy). He’s been waking up in the middle of the night again..then earlier and earlier every morning. We wonder if it’s because he’s hungry-since he’s so eager to eat no matter what time he wakes up. So tonight I think I’m going to feed him yogurt right before bed…then cross my fingers!! Actually our days have been long and hard lately too. He’s getting faster as I get slower/bigger. His recent growth paired with intellect has left me in a daze. Gone are the times of just taking things away and putting them up where he can’t reach. Now if he can’t reach he WILL figure out a way to reach. It leaves me so tired.

We did have almost a real converstation yesterday…he wanted something from the fridge and was standing in front of it making his umumum noise. So I opened it up and said “what would you like?” and he pointed at the milk and said “that” and I said “you want milk?” and he shook his head yes -which he’s never done before in response to a question. Then later he got hold my deodorant and was pointing at it saying “that,that” over and over. I didn’t understand at first and kept saying that’ s mommies, can I have it… but he just kept on with the “that” until I said that’s deodorant and showed him what it was for (rubbing it under his arms with the cap on) then he handed it to me. So dumb mommy all he wanted was to know what it was.

I went to the doctor again yesterday 🙂 Aidan is doing great. He’s head down with his feet under my right boob. Doc says he’s right where he’s needs to be and will slowly work his way into the pelvis when it gets closer to movin out day. Only 7 weeks left!!(well hopefully) His heart beat was strong and easy to find. I took bub with me and he did really good-just sat in his stoller playing with his new airplanes (church toys). I really like my doctor and the nurse that checks me in. They are so nice and friendly. I’m worried about the hospital though… I’m sure it’s a nice place, but the maternity rooms are shared. You get to have a private birthing room but then after go into a shared room. I’m nervous about how that will work. What if my roomate is inconsiderate with vistors all hours..or what if she or someone with her smells…dumb I know but stinky or over cologned people bug me. I will be nursing on demand so it’s not like I’ll be sleeping or awake at normal hours…will that bother my roomate? I just need to not think about it, no reason to stress over something that will turn out just fine…otherwise the hospital would change it. Maybe I’ll make a new friend. I’ve had good luck with roommates in the past, maybe this time will be no different…

Annoying

For some reason my neighbors drive me insane! Lately I find them all inconsiderate and obnoxious. I don’t want to be friends or even civil towards them…WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!? We have this yearly spring clean up thing, where you can put all the stuff you can’t fit in our trash can out on the curb and it will all be picked up. Which is great, but the people two doors down don’t understand the concept. They have emptied out what seems like their entire house and not on their curb but ours (there is a limit to how much you can put out) And on top of that the things they put out would be the equivalent of a normal person taking their normal weekly trash and dumping it on the sidewalk along with all their furniture. So I’m sure by tomorrow all of yards will be full of their trash-GREAT HUH?!?! Mo-mos! I don’t understand how this idea got so lost in the translation. I mean all they had to do was look around at everyone else’s curbs to see what was being put out. So generally the rule is if you can fit in your trash can -Put in it there for goodness sakes or atleast bag it up. The poor trash men are going to have a heck of time picking all the junk as it is and to add insult to injury it started to rain about an hour ago. Can you imagine the mess tomorrow?

Then there is my next door neighbor…just the fact that she exsists gets on my nerves. I feel bad because she’s really not a bad person, just your typical neighborhood busy body. She’s bossy and a big gossip. The kind of person that tells you her whole life in the first 5 minutes of knowing her…including things she just shouldn’t tell people. She has never done anything purposely to be rude. I guess maybe I’m just quiet and like to keep to myself, so I don’t appreciate someone knocking on my door 12 times a day for no reason(that was when we first moved in-not so much any more) But man we can’t go outside without getting swarmed by her and her kids. We can’t play in our own front yard, can’t wash our own cars, can’t do anything without being overtaken. Sometimes I feel like a prisoner in my own home. It sucks! It has gotten better here recently- with school being in we have a few hours free of the chaos.

Sorry for ranting…It’s just what’s on my mind. We did have a good weekend, A friend came over and we spent the day hanging out. It was great because this friend is the fiance of one of my husbands best friends. So first I’m happy that more girls are joining the group and two that the guys have such good taste in girls. She is very cool and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know her. I feel very lucky that things have worked out the way they have…Ok so I refer to the guys as Evan’s friends but really I met them all at the same time and not through Evan so they are really my friends too (funny how complicated things get) But anyway I guess because I became his girlfriend so quickly I felt like I didn’t have a chance to really development friendships with them as me and not Evan’s girlfriend/wife. Then Evan and I got married so quickly and I’ve been the only wife for a long time…so I’m excited now that everyone seems to be settling down married or not these girls are going to be around for good…so I get to keep them ;p And on top of just having other girls around-they are really cool and fun to be around (not that I’m suprised all the guys are amazing men that would only attract amazing women) It’s just nice to know the people we will be spending time and going on trips with over the years are so great! It makes me feel good about the future…

Wonders under the fence…

Today started out really great…I was getting mad amounts of cleaning done, the sun was out and Bub was happily playing by himself! Then the door bell rang 2 or 3 times, and then excited knocking. It was our neighbor coming by to tell me my dogs were in her yard. Well great, how in the world did they get in over there…our wonderful marvelous Turkey dug a hole and when he couldn’t dig any deeper decided to chew the fence up high enough for he and pepper to get through. Apparently there are wonders beyond my comprehension next door and they desperatly needed to get to them. The really fun part was when her back door opened and it was me they saw…complete confusion. Well this small snafu sends me into an emotional whirlwind. First I’m mad-really really mad!!! Ready to take both dogs to the pound mad…which quickly turns into depression. I’m a bad dog mom depression, they were trying to escape because we dont’ take good enough care of them depression. I cry. I clean. Then I talk Evan who quickly makes me feel better…no more depression. Now I’m overwhelmed by love and the need to give the dogs biscuits and teach them tricks. Hormones sure do make you do crazy things…you can be a perfectly sensible person sitting inside a crazy person watching with no control as they lose their mind.

Annoying comments

I HATE ONLINE POKER SPAM!! Boy those guys drive me nuts…I just spent the last half hour deleting all the spam comments on every single one of my posts. It’s just so rude to comment spam in a post written about a special family momment. I know they don’t read the posts and do all the spaming in bulk…but it’s still rude!

Had another doctor visit today…and everything is A Ok 🙂 Aidan’s heart beat sounded big and loud today and we got to listen for a few minutes which was nice. Really brightened my day. Then we got Jack n Box and rented movies-just what I needed! No more funk for me (well atleast for a few days) We just watched Final Cut, good movie-kinda left you hanging-but a good flick (as Evan would say). Lennox went to bed really early tonight, I think he’s growing again. I’m actually pretty happy he’s out early, he hasn’t been the most fun today…you know some days are just like that. Now I’m just going to sit down in front of another movie and fill out my hospital registration forms 🙂 Yeehee!! Yup it’s that time. Boy it feels so close and yet so far away.

Ps..I just love the new lime coke commercial! Put the lime in the coconut and ya drink em both up…I love that-it cracks me up
