Look At My Belleh!

Just thought I would give you all a little giggle with the latest belly pics! We are 24 weeks in the pictures! Hahaha.

I went to the Doc yesterday and everything is fine. He said that the baby is "bigger than average" (I'm so surprised.... *sarcasm*) and that everything is lookin good! Praise the lord!

Best News Ever

Yay! While at home from work today, my prenatal specialist Dr. called me and told me that all of my tests came out normal. I won't have to give myself shots in the belleh or anything!! Yay! Seriously, got on my knees and thanked God for that one. Little EJ and I are going to be just fine. If that's not an answer to prayer, I don't know what is! On another note- I stayed home from work today- just to get some MUCH needed rest and boy, it is so hard sometimes, just to do nothing. It seems that I always have something that I need to do, or want to do, that I make it impossible for myself just to do nothing. Even if I made a list or something like that, as soon as I would get something checked off as being done, I would immediately add another TO DO to the end of the list. BAH! It's insanity. I really wanted to have the Ethan's room painted before John got back from Allentown, but for goodness sakes, I just can't find the energy. Oh well... guess we'll just have to do it this weekend. We plan on furnishing it in January, so I want it to be completely ready by then. I miss John.

Not Really Baby Stuff

But it's our 1st Christmas Tree!!!












Yeah, so that's about it for now.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Baby's Room

Ah, more fun stuff...

THAT'S THE BORDER FOR THE BABY'S ROOM.. AWWWWWW!

THAT IS THE PAINT... THEY'RE THE TWO WITH THE WRITING ON THEM. ONE WALL IS GOING TO BE THE MINT GREEN COLOR AND THE OTHER THREE WILL BE THE BEIGE ONE.

AND JUST BECAUSE... I'M TOTALLY EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW WORK MATERNITY CLOTHES! YAY!!

It's A BOY!!

Just thought I would update the whole preggers situation. You know how I roll :-P

And yes, he's a BOY!!! Ethan James Dee. Ethan (John's middle name) James (BOTH of our grandfathers name). It's a nice and STRONG name.

Here's some updated pics.

This one is of EJ in 3D steez.

And this one is of my ever growing belly... *sighs*

I kinda look like I have a funny looking shape there... meh.

Everything is going well thus far. I love thinking about out lil baby that's coming sooner than I can remember. Wow. I'm already half way through. I'll have my lil boy in my arms in less than 5 months. Amazing.

So yeah, on a side note... John and I purchased a new king bed this weekend and new stuff for it. We ended up buying alot of stuff this weekend. I made the mistake of going into Ikea for just one thing and ended up coming home with two new dressers, a shelf unit like my friend Amy had in her room back in the day, new side tables for the couches, and a curtain rods for the curtains that I am going to make with MY NEW SEWING MACHINE that John bought me for my birthday. Glorious! I can't wait to make em'. I'm so gay and domesticated. I love it.

Here's the new bed with the new comforter. It's really pretty!


Okay, well it's time for bed. Goodnight!!!!

Uhm... Yeah

God, I was having the most random freakin dreams last night... First off, I met Barry Hess (he's the libertarian candidate for Governor of Arizona). I also met Senator Jim Waring's brother. I don't even know if he even has one in real life. But him and Barry were best friends. Weird. I had my baby, but it turned out to be half baby half kitten. Then I forgot HER at home (yes, it was a girl) when I went to work. Also, very weird. Meggie, my sister, was a pilot, and we flew through several large scale trebuchets only to later crash into a giant chocolate chip cookie that was alive. I think there's more, but honestly, I can't remember. That stuff is just so random... seriously, who thinks about shit like that? Threw up this morning again. Seriously, I am just going to change my hours here at work to 9-6. That way, I don't have to wake up early and then I don't get as sick. Every fricken time that I wake up early, I get sick. And this morning I was just stupid about it. I tried to take a shower first and that NEVER works. I had to hurry throught the last moments of it, hoping that I didn't throw up all over my clean self. And bile in the morning, JUST TASTES GROSS. PERIOD. BUT alas, I still made it to work on time. Hahaha.

Ultra Cool or Ultra Sound

My OB just called me. He said that he wanted me to come in again for more bloodwork. He wants to check my levels AGAIN and monitor my progression. I told him that that would be fine and asked if he wanted me to come in the usual 3 times a week or if he just wanted me to go in once. He answered with another question, asking when my ultrasound was scheduled. I told him that I did not have one scheduled (nobody said that I needed one yet) but that I did have an appointment set up (it's the second prenatal visit) for Tuesday the 5th. He said that he didn't want to wait until then and that he wanted me to come in this week to get an ultrasound done. Weird. Now I am semiworried and can't stop thinking that something might be wrong. I know I know, I'm totally just being paranoid, but please, this is my first pregnancy (and probably my only) and that allows me to be over worrying about every little thing. Especially considering my past girly issues. Anyhow, my visit is scheduled Thursday and it would be safe to say that I am a little nervous about it. I guess though, that if everything really is okay, then it wil be pretty cool to at least hear the heart beat even if there isn't an actual image to go along with it yet. I'm only eight weeks and that IS early for an ultrasound, but I'm not going to sweat it too much. I've got other things to worry about... like school and work and... whatever else it is that I routinely worry about. Pray for me and my lil baby bean... cm
