Let the count down begin

We have 30 days..... yes, one month from today is the due date. How many of you think we will make it? How many of you think Thor Danger will come early? Or how many of you are funny enough to think he will come on Halloween.
I am getting very anxious to see this little boy. There are days I just wish he was here so I can finally see his face, to see what he got from his dad and what he got from his mom. I wonder if he will have a mole on his face like me? And a wonder if his eyes will be dark brown of if I just have enough pull with my blue eye to make his eyes a hazel green? I wonder if he will have my hands or his dads? Ok, so I wonder a lot about him. He is moving and grooving in my belly quite a bit, I still think he farts every now and then, what else would make his whole body bounce up and down just once. I finally put the bedding in the crib and put up the mobile, I feel a bit more ready, I set up the swing in the living room it is ready and waiting. My goal tomorrow is to get his clothing washed and in the dresser, rather than in the pile on the floor of his room. And, to wash his stroller and travel crib out.
I thought a work today really the time has flown by, it seems just last week I was outside having dinner with Mom and Dad trying to figure out how I was going to eat dinner in front of them and not have them ask any questions as to how three pieces of pasta could fill me up.
We are almost ready, so bring on the last few days of this pregnancy.

New Things

Tonight Rain and I bought Thor Danger the perfect accessory for his coming home outfit, stay tuned and you will see, and you will smile, and you just my chuckle. I am so excited to see him with this. Don't you just love when you find the perfect thing. Weather It be a pair of shoes,spatula,pen, or dust collector. These things make me happy. What makes them even better is when I find the perfect thing for another person and know they are going to love it.

6 weeks and counting.......

I hope it is six weeks, I pray it is six weeks, I promise the kid in my belly anything if it is only six weeks. Went to the doctor today and we are at 34 weeks and 3 days.... I am really ready to see what this little boy looks like. Truly the summer has come and gone so fast I am not sure where May-September 20 have gone.
The weather is beautiful and not to hot(my prayers are answered). The nurse today made me cry happy tears inside today. She was talking about how amazing it is to hold this little one and the automatic love you have, she kept saying it is like know other. That I will do anything to keep him safe, happy, and well. That I will have the feelings of stepping in to protect him at all costs. I thought to myself well if it comes close to the love I have for my Nieces and Nephews I am in for love and protection overload.
Thor Danger watch out you mother is going to smother you with love!

Judgement Day.......

I blame the hormones and pregnancy(there are only a few more days I can use this as an excuse). I have attempted to be more positive in what comes out of my mouth latley at work and so far it has worked. Today however if my thoughts would have appeared in a cartoon bubble over my head I am sure I would no longer be welcome in the office or any where on the strip. I wonder if people sit down and say I am going to pack the most wrong outfit possible to wear while in Vegas. I just find it hard to believe that people would wear the clothing I see them here in Vegas in their own home town. Ugh, girls if you are going to wear a pink and white stripped short dress that is a bit see through please don't wear a black thong and no bra, I along with 1/2 of the popluation really don't want to see you in this. And, then the two friends beside you did not say hey let's rethink this outfit...they really are not your friends. You have got to love Vegas, if only for the people watching.

Back to School

We don't have a kid in school yet.
But today is Rain's first day of the 2011-12 school year. Let the verifiation of money begin for another year.

Thursday April 21, 2011

I live and I am feeling well. So many changes both expected and unexpected in our little home in Las Vegas. I made it through the busy season at work it was questionable there for a few days. Rain is working strong at the School District trying to keep all the money straight in the Food Service department.
My Mom and Dad came down in March for the Nascar race. This was Mom's first time to the race. Rain and Dad had her all decked out in Carl Edwards gear, hat, shirt, jacket and yes he won the race! We had a good time with family and many friend. I was so grateful for nice weather, not hot not cold just right. I wish we had a taken a photo of us, but yeah I did not have the camera. Mom brought down some gifts to me for my Birthday.

Beth sent down this beautiful green vase. I love it! I went right away and bought some sun flowers to put inside, it looks so good in our home. Thanks Beth.
Jacob and Katie send down a wind chime, I have a shepherds hook in the backyard and the chime is wonderful, each time I hear it I think of Jacob and Katie. Thank you.
Then as the last morning when my parent left I notices this addition on my buffet...


Thank you, and you know who you are.


The biggest change that is going on in our home, is the preparation for our baby...
Who ever would have thought this day would come. After 5 at home pregnancy tests I finally told Rain we need to make a doctor appointment and yep we are going to have a baby around Halloween. I laughed at the Doctor when she told us the due date. You see I am not particularly fond of Halloween, and just my luck this baby will come on the exact day. I am really keeping my fingers crossed for any other day. But you know what any day as long as it is healthy will do.
I am finally feeling a bit better,I am not going to complain at all the morning or in my case afternoon sickness has not been that bad. I just wish something would taste good, but I have hope that will change.
I have to kick Rain out of his man cave now and get the room prepared for our child. He will get the Man Cave back someday, when I am not sure but someday.
We went to the Doctor yesterday for a Genetic Testing only because I am in the "you are old group" to have a baby. They look first for downs syndrome number one. Well two indicators of this is there is extra skin on the back of the baby's neck and extra fluid and there is no nasal bone formed. Well we have just the correct amount of skin on the back of the neck and no extra fluid. Now this kid would not give us a profile view to check out the nasal bone but we will double check that later in June. The blood test was easy and over before I thought it began, I told the nurse she rocked at here job. The doctor said all looks good and the baby is measuring correctly. This kid has its fathers busy legs, they did not stop kicking the whole time we were looking at it. I will have a karate chopping kid. I have put the first picture below, hope you can see something that makes sense. Stay tuned we find out the gender in June.

Fine to Cross in less than 30 days

Do you ever get cross with yourself and you are not exactly sure why. Could it be your job, the rash of acne, the amount of money you have spent on shampoo because not one is doing the job you want it to do, your favorite sweater has a new hole, or you gave a lesson in church and just wanted to throw your hands up in the air and say really we are having this discussion for the um-teenth time. Yes this is the remainder of February for me. I think no one needs to know or wants to hear that I am cross with myself.. There is the old saying if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all. So I have chosen to not say anything.
This month of February is gone, I have not enjoyed this month and I am sorry about that because I share this month of birthdays with wonderful people. My nephew Matthew, his is a lady killer with those big chocolate brown eyes. My brother Benjamin, my baby brother who has more love in his heart. My Mother in law who has loved me since day one. My mother who gave me life and a wonderful life. These are fabulous people and we have the best birthday month so I wish you each a year of learning, a year of laughter, and a year of many many experiences. I hope with all that I have that I will not be cross in March... The old saying if March comes in like a lion it will go out like a lamb..Keep your fingers crossed.

Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise?
Is this true, I am healthy, no more cold. I am wealthier than I was yesterday. And I am a bit wiser. So I guest this is true.

Sunday, Church check, Superbowl check, blogging check, time for bed
I do have to say I called the game, many and I mean many people asked
me who I thought would win I said the Packers. And yes they did.....
I enjoy this day of rest we have on Sunday, I like the ability to let my
mind just think of all that has gone on through the week and what I could
do to be better this up coming week.
The weather is beautiful her and I hope it stays around, I am done with
the cold, ready for a long long long spring.
Good night Sunday, lets get ready for a week of promise.

February 5, 2011

Friday and Saturday all rolled into one.
Today is Saturday and I had to work, busy season you know. Well I had to get up and just walk away from my desk, so I went outside, you should all be her in the 71 degree weather today. The Las Vegas Strip was insane with out of towners. I had a quick walk and then back to my desk. I had to go back because I thought of my best friend and how much fun we would be having walking up and down and around in the beautiful weather, just looking and watching and taking it all it. I really miss her. She gets me and does not question me at all, just takes me as I am.
Well raise your glass to your best friend and let them know how much you love them.
