The Abominable Abdominal pregnant lady

Please excuse my rustled appearance, as I need to get my hair done sat. So sometime between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning, my belly grew twice it's size, Don't see it in the picture above? Well have a closer look here:

I am not quite sure what happend but it's as thought as soon as I hit 20 weeks BAM!! Growth spurt, my belly is now big enough for me to be fully aware of it and bump into shit if I don't clear it out of the way first. So big that I can set my food plate on top of it and use it as a little shelf when Im eating lunch at my desk, because elts face it, I cannot bend over my belly to eat because then yes I CAN reach my food, but no I cannot breathe!! At first I thought maybe it was me, and that I couldnt have possibly grown THAT much in a matter of a few days, then I started the work week and had at least 4 separate people on several different occasions say something to the effect of "whoa mamma, I mean goddamn lady!!"....and thats when I pretty much knew it was for real.

Not only have I grown, but my eating is atrotious!! I am a never ending pit once again.

For the past three days I have been wanting Onion rings BAD, not the tasty beer battered ones, no......I wanted ....Burger king onion rings?????? I hate Burger King, ecspecially their onion rings! nevertheless, my coworker got so tired of hearing me say I wanted them, that she went out and got me a large box of them,....and I ate them ALL!!! in 5 minutes or less~! To make matters worse I also polished off a turkey sandwich, cheese stick, orange and a slice of butter finger pie in less than and hour! But I was determined to be "good" for dinner and had a nice salad with balasamic vinegartte dressing lots of veggies, and a grilled cheese sandwich..............only to top it off with the rest of the potatoe chips, salsa and a sugar free klondike bar.......BURP>....... oh HELL YEAH!!!!

So i suppose that little line I may have made on Tues, about not gaining any weight at my doctors office appt. in three months, HAS to be invalid now. LOL Ahh well such is pregnancy. you know I love it.!

Almost peed my pants!

Well I alomst pee my pants rountinely since pregnant, but last night I found out two AWESOME THINGS!!!
Tori Amos will be releasing her 10th studio album in May! "Abnormally Attracted To Sin."


OMG OMG OMG I am so excited! Thanks for the heads up Mary!!




And Also:
my other favortie band in the world, U2, is coming out with "No Line on the horizon"
I listened to "Get on your boots" this morning, and I LOVE it! I swear this band will never grow old to me. They are going to be like 90 and still cranking out the hits. But am I th eonly one who notices that the drummer just doesnt age, like ever......wierd. yeah I am a bit u2 crazy, but this is coming from a girl who took a chuch course in the teaching of u2 and how it relates to theology lol, yeah.....I went THERE.

The Nursery part Deux

OK so this whole wall paper removing thing isn't as easy at I thought it was, I mean I got the actual wall paper removed and the backing removed, but when I went to go wash the walls today, I ran into another problem, the freaking adhesive wont budge!!!! it's OK in some spot, in others its like the consistency of bubble gum, so apparently we pull out the big guns now and go get some adhesive remover, i am also noticing more spots that I did before that need to be re torn down and spackled (sigh) but I will leave THAT part the hubby.
I was so excited to find out that we were having a boy yesterday, that I woke up at 4 am for my normal Early morning bathroom run, and couldn't get back to sleep, so I sat in bed and mapped out how I was going to decorate. When I got up I got on Jcpenny .com and ordered the bedding set that I have been wanting for months now, and hey it was like 25% off!!! Bargain! Below is what I got, I can't wait for it to come in!



The bedding, it is a four piece set, I figure I can hang the comforter above the crib for decor until the kid gets old enough to use it.
Valance for the window


Lamp, LOVE the giraffe



Adhesive on the wall that is SO bad ( all the yellow shit) that you can still see hair of the person who originally put it up.......ewwww...I mean how do you even DO that????

I also went back to target and got the stuff that I found in the bargain bin, that just HAPPEND to match my room decor. ( see we were MEANT to have a boy!)

Area from target bargain bin $2.50!

Knobs for the dresser from the bargain bin, $2.50!
Monkey wall hanging from of course the bargain bin, also 2.50

Monkey head bank ( I wont even repeat it) also 2.50
Night light lamp shade ( It's tiny and plugs into the wall)
Ok, so it doesn't match the decor, but I have been eyeing this damn blanket for MONTHS< wooHOO!!!! my lil rebel baby!!

Whoooo are you??????? Who? Who? Who? Who?

20 WeeksNot the best shot, but I am tired and the camera was running low of battery power, I'll do another one soon!

Well today was the moment of truth,, we went in for our ultrasound and it was......A BOY!!!!! I got tears in my eyes and Bill acted like he totally knew, (to tell you the truth I believe I totally knew also, motherly instinct ya know) about 10 minutes into the ultrasounds, the ginger ale that I drank kicked in, and he was moving like crazy, waving, sucking his thumb, damn near eating his foot (that makes him MY boy because I can easily put my toes in my mouth if I wanted to, yeah stupid human trick that YOU probably didn't want to know about) They couldn't get a great shot of his boy parts, but I will spare him the future embarrassment lol. Although his mother IS flashing her uterus to the free world lol.

He arched his back a few times turned his head towards up and waved, it was single handedly the coolest shitI have ever seen, (And really confirms that those movements are not ALL the taco bell i ate last night ) I didn't get to see my doctor as planned because she had to run to do a c-section ( TOTALLY understandable!!) so I have to go back on Tues for my check up. but I am SO very happy, and in love!

Tomorrow I am going back to target to get all that stuff I wanted for his room,then I plan on cleaning the walls up to get ready for paint sometime soon.

YAY!!!!!!!! We will call him Hudson William.

Stress....not a "joyful post" sorry....need to get it out.

Today is just turning out to be a bad day, I didn’t sleep much last night (again, which I am sure isn’t helping things at all) my lunch that I brought smells rotten and I had to throw it out. My hair needs to be colored and it looks like shit this morning, and I’m worried about my mom….

For those of you who have known my mother, she has always been sort of ill , she had a muscular condition called Fibromyalgia, it basically causes muscle and connective tissue to be inflamed, she usually manages it just fine, ( I actually inherited it, but they caught mine early so it really doesn’t effect me too much) But she had a slew of other health problems, she has diabetes, she takes insulin, she got into a nasty accident a few years ago and suffered nerve damage and is now dealing with nerve damage and lung problems (from the air bag) she has sarcardosis and pnuemonititis.

And to top it off she had breast cancer last year and is STILL recovering from that.

My mother is not healthy by any means, and both her and I have learned to deal with it the best we can. But it’s hard now that I am going to have a kid, I know she can’t be there as much as I will need her to be, and that she may not be able to watch a baby over night because it could be taxing, I feel bad that my mother in law will have most time with the baby due to distance and health reasons. It kills me.

I also hate the fact that my mother has been in pain most of her adult life and is always battling something. I could scream at the top of the mountains that it’s not fair, but what good would that do. I know my friend Mary knows EXACTLEY what I am going through, he mother is also not very healthy and she takes care of her, and always with a smile and she is so courageous and vibrant, Mary I don’t know how you do it sometimes. How you hold yourself together, because it is a very challenging task, my father works a lot because someone has to pay the bills (mom is on disability) so he can only do so much and I live 45 minutes away.

Yesterday was a good day, and when good days happen I feel blessed, she was happy and laughing, and telling me how she was able to get on the treadmill for 20 minutes yesterday and got a lot of stuff done.

Then I call her today and she sounded horrible, she pulled a muscle I her back, my dad is out of town, my grandma is at work, and my mom can’t drive when this muscle in her back acts up, she can barley walk, she usually has to go to the doctor and they have to give her a shot to release it.

I told her that I could leave work and take her, but she is refusing, she doesn’t want to inconvenience me because I work 45 minutes away form her, I told her that if she needed me I would be there. She wants to wait it out. So fine we wait……but it doesn’t keep me from being near tears here at my desk. I was up later than I wanted to be last night because I was doing a favor for my husband for his car club and burning a disk he told me about at the last minute, when I did get to bed I had heartburn then my back kept me up most of the night, I am the least selfish person in the world, but I have spent so much time taking care of everyone else this week, that I haven’t taken time to rest, and it’s eating away at me, and making it harder to deal with stuff like this……and it’s only wed.

I guess life is not fair and sometimes you just need to hunker down with those who love you the most and weather through it come what may. What else can we do??

Baby on the brain

...So this Friday I find out what we are having, and I couldn't be more excited! ( this is going to be one hell of a long ass week)

Tuesday I go to the Chiropractor again and I cannot wait because this week my back went off the deep end again, I probably had two good nights of rest.

I work late all week up until Friday to make up time for leaving early Friday at 2:00. So I know I will be exhausted lol. But I have got so much to look forward to the end of the week.

I was in Target today ,and in the dollar bin they have had these wooden cartoony monkey head piggie banks the past few weeks, well because if we have a boy I wanted to decorate the room in a jungle theme, I wanted to get it earlier (it was only 2.50) but I didn't want to jinx myself because, if we have a girl I want to do a totally different paint theme. LOL well.....I got the damn monkey head figured it's good for a boy or a girl) and also a night light that plugs into the wall with a little lamp shade on it that has the same jungle theme.
I cannot wait until Friday because if it is a boy I am going straight to Target to go pick up the matching dresser knobs and rug LOL.

Such a goof I know!

This past weekend the baby started moving like crazy, even waking me up in the middle of the night (well....when I WAS sleeping any ways) a few times. It's cute it makes it all so much more real to me, to FEEl something in there besides gas, (which believe me I have PLENTY of)
and call me crazy...... but I think the baby likes punk....because I have played The Descendants twice in the car now and he/or she goes nuts. What can I say, kids got my taste :)

Last week I finally had my first two rude pregnancy comments, 1. I was in the coffee room at work making my lunch when this dweeb guy that I don't even know and have never even SEEN on our premises before, pokes his head in and goes. "wow, lunch time huh? ALRIGHT! bet YOUR hungry!"..........seriously?????????? no wait......SERIOUSLY???
yeah asshole I'm hungry, better lock up your kids I have been known to eat toddlers.

Then 2. (said to me by someone who has NO room to talk) "hate to tell you sweetie but your gaining some weight". Well NO SHIT LADY, you try manufacturing a human being down to the eyelashes and tell me your not going to gain weight?? And honestly I'm 174, there I said it, before I was pregnant I was 157 so I really haven't gained THAT much in the past 5 months! I really can't believe how loosely some people talk, it's almost damn amusing lol.

Well that's all of an update for now, I will let you all now what were having as soon as I know, and yes Mary I will post another pic!!

Memory Box adventures part one

So thanks to Shans post, I had an itch to go through my old highschool memory box, and here is what I found.

It wasn't meant for me LOL. 6. If I even have to tell you what that is, then god help you, yes it is a wrapper, from a first "experience" How many poeple do you know that still have THAT? 7. Two Movie tickets from the early 90's for Cool Runnings and Nightmare Before Christmas 8. Old gift box that the bracelet came in. 9. A corsage from home coming. 10. Lyrics to the Tori Amos song Winter ( Tori was my religion back in highschool) hell she still is.
