11 Random Facts: 

1.I have known the Husband for TEN years, the first six of them we were just friends, NO JOKE!

2.  I only have ONE sister and we share the same birthday!  My whole life it felt like I had a twin, even now on birthdays when we don't spend the day together it doesn't feel like my birthday.

3.  I get sea sick -.-

4.  I am the oldest cousin on my Dad's family, and I LOVE it!

5.  My dogs are like my children, and I'm often afraid that when my HUMAN baby comes they won't get as much attention :(

6. I can type pretty fast...thanks to completing my ENTIRE Master's degree online :D

7. Before I was pregnant I would NEVER drink any liquids besides water, and alcohol.

8.  I LOVE to cook, and do crafts, but since I've been working I feel like I don't have enough time to do either one

9. I'd much rather text someone then call them, I don't really like talking on the phone, I feel like when you are on the phone you are ONLY on the phone, BUT if you're texting you can do LOTS of things while having a conversation, love the freedom!

10. My FAVORITE breakfast is a chorizo burrito OR beligian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream YUMMMM

11. I'm a serious PLANNER like I don't like to just wing things (sometimes it's bad) BUT it makes me the planner of my family, so all trips/dinners/events I usually have my hand in there somewhere making sure everything goes off without a hitch

 & here are the questions Jazmyne asked me... 

1. Who is your biggest role model? Why?

My BIGGEST role model is my grandma :)  She's the BEST person in the WHOLE world!!  She always puts everyone before herself, BUT can stand up for herself if she's getting taken advantage of!  She's so strong and the BEST person to talk to!  She's strong and really is the glue that holds our family together :D

2. What is your dream car?

Ohhhh I'd LOVE to own a Range Rover :D  I think they're sooooo cute!

3. What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

Hmmm...

4. What do you consider your greatest strength?

I think I'm pretty organized, I live an organized mess, if something looks messy, it's NOT I know exactly where everything is!

5. What are some of your pet peeves?

Yuck, it seems like I have ONE HUNDRED more now that I've been pregnant!  BUT

-I can't stand when grown ups LIE!  Like for what?  Especially hate it when people brag about how "they do it all on their own", rather go to school or raise a Kid when EVERYONE can see that you're parents help you....I mean there is NOTHING wrong with your parents helping you because mine have helped me LOTS but don't tell me you do it all on your own when your mom watches your kids while you go to school...or your Dad pays your rent while you're going to school ANNOYING!

-When a Mom will be SUPER done up and dressed nice, and their kid is dirty and looks like they just rolled in the dirt, OR has drool on their face from the night before, UMMM your kid SHOULD be dressed and ready before yourself, and don't tell me that it's because you didn't have time to get them ready you were putting your makeup on :l

-When people act like they KNOW what they're talking about, and they don't....ohhhhh so even though I have NEVER been pregnant, I'm going to tell you how it feels to be pregnant -.-

(okay I think those are my CURRENT pet peeves) :)

6. Why did you start blogging?

I was working part-time and started reading LOTS of blogs, so I figured why not start my own, to keep it for me to read years from now!  I especially started writing more once I got pregnant and wanted to remember everything from when I was pregnant!

7. What is your favorite accessory?

I really like things for my hair, like ribbons, or bows or head bands!

8. Cat lover or dog lover?

I love both!!!  BUT I don't really like other peoples animals, I'm kinda like those people that are like, well I hate all kids except my own, because I don't really like any animals that I don't own...sad but true.

9. Anything "quirky" about you (double jointed, can say ABCs backwards...?)

I'm not quirky :(  BUT I can drive stick shift...some people can't so I'll use that :)

10. Do you speak any other languages?

No, I can understand Spanish for the MOST part, BUT I don't really truly understand everything.

11. What is considered a perfect day for you?

A perfect day would be an extra day off of work, cleaning my house and the weather outside being amazing!  Going out to eat with my love and spending time with our little beasts.  I just love being around my little family :)  Oh and knowing that we don't have to go to work the next day :D

Baby Laines-31 Weeks

How far along: 31 Weeks!!  WOO HOO only (hopefully) 9 more to go!

Baby's size: The little baby is around 3.5 pounds, 16 inches & the size of a pineapple :D  He's getting pretty big in there!

Miss Anything: This week...hmmm I miss being able to get out of bed without feeling like I'm sinking into the bed...ALSO sleeping through the entire night without getting up to have to pee was nice.

Best moment this week: Going to the doctor and finding out that 1.  I haven't gained that much weight since last month.  2. My next appt will be in two weeks and every two weeks after that until they are EVERY single week until baby comes!  It feels like it's getting close :D

Movement: I asked the doctor because it doesn't feel like he moves A LOT...and she said to make sure I pay attention to EVERY single movement and now that I have been doing that I realize he MOVES a lot, it's just not enough for me to notice without paying attention! :D

Food cravings: I have been wanting some potato wedges with nacho cheese, YUMMM I think I'm going to go get some today after work!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Ummm, I've been feeling a lot more queasy, BUT it's not over a specific thing I eat or drink.

Maternity Clothes: YEP!  Am not wearing much else these days, ESPECIALLY because maternity is SOOO much more comfortable!

Stretch marks: None, still.  Still praying that they stay away!

Symptoms I HAVE:   Besides, a HUGE belly, feeling stuffed in my nose and my body, having a hard time picking up stuff off the floor and being extra hot, nothing really.

Doctor’s Appointment:  Had one on Friday and now they are EVERY OTHER WEEK!  YAY!

What I'm looking forward to:  We have TWO baby showers next month and I'm excited to see all the cute stuff the baby is going to receive! :D

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still fitting like normal :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: I think I'm happy most of the time!

Sleep: Sleep is okay...BUT I have to wake up AT LEAST twice a night to pee and it's so hard to get out of bed.

Showing:  ummm I'm assuming yes since people always ask me about the baby now :)

Lucky # 13

So this weekend I was talking to my grandma AND showing her this picture

just the four of us

my cousin had posted it the other day, found it when she was going through her stuff at home.

you see, when we started it was just the FOUR of us, and look @ how cute we were :)  

I mean really super cute!  

(don't pay attention to the fact that NONE of us are looking at the camera) well besides me & the gramps

so it was the four of us for what felt like forever, I guess it really was only five and a 1/2 years or so but when I'm 4 years older then my sister that means that from me to my sister 4 years, there were four of us, and then NOT another grand kid for five and a 1/2 years after that!  So the four of us became SUPER close, especially because even after they had another baby the four of us went to school together still and spent the ENTIRE summer with our grandma! :D  it was the BEST way to grow up by FAR!

all TWELVE of us!

Since we grew up so close being bound by my grandma & grandpa's love I have always been close to my cousins, we don't go a couple of weeks without talking or seeing each other, and you better believe we NEVER miss a birthday party or event without a REALLY REALLY good reason to miss, because we truly look forward to seeing each other and love being around each other.

So, what leads me to LUCKY NUMBER 13, well I have mentioned before on here that I LOVE the number 13 now, it reminds me of my Grandpa and it just makes me happy :)  We picked our wedding date on that day on PURPOSE...and if Carter comes ONE week & ONE day early his bday will be on the 13th, and really my bday is 31 so backwards it's 13 right?  :)  Well I was showing my grandma the picture of just the four of us and I realized that we have grown so much and it's amazing that when we were a tiny family all of us would fit inside her little house no problem!  Actually we felt like it was BIG!  Before my grandpa passed away he added a HUGE den/living room onto their house which made the old living room turn into the dining room and made the new room a HUGE living room!  I can't imagine all of us fitting inside of my grandma's old house it would have been entirely too tiny!  My grandpa knew we were going to be expanding and made sure that we had room to grow in his tiny house :)

Well now I counted, there are EIGHT grand kids now and FOUR great grand kids!  Which equals TWELVE grand kids in total for my grandma and it's amazing that,

Baby Carter will be lucky NUMBER 13 :D 

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Can't wait for him to join this amazing family and have all 11 cousins to play with and love on him he is going LOVE it as much as I do!

Baby Laines-30 Weeks

How far along: 30 weeks!!  Can't believe only 10 more to go (hopefully not MORE)

Baby's size: Baby Carter is around 3 pounds and 15-16 inches!  Around the size of a cucumber! No wonder I can feel him ALL in my ribs :l

Miss Anything: Being able to sleep, sit or lay comfortably...it feels like I'm always in a bad position...OH and I miss not having a constant pain in my ribs, OH and the feeling of NOT being stuffed, can't wait for the day that goes away!

Best moment this week:  figuring out that I only have 53 more days of work and then it's maternity leave time!  YES!!  Oh AND finding some of the cutest stuff for Carter's room!  I'm in LOVE and I can't WAIT to start decorating!  This weekends project, painting!

Movement: Yep!  He moves, never when anyone wants him to still, BUT he does move in there, it's crazy that I NEVER EVER get tired of seeing him move...I can look at him move from the outside now and I swear I'm memorized it looks so crazy and feels so crazy AND it's weird to think that there is in fact a tiny baby growing in there!  SUCH an amazing feeling!

Food cravings: Well I just read a blog that talked about how cheese fries are their favorite food, and NOW I want some fries with nacho cheese so bad...ugh I wish I knew where to get some at!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Remember when I THOUGHT that nauseousness was over??  Well I GUESS I was wrong, because it's back in full force, back to the days of just feeling sick for no apparent reason AT ALL!  damnnnnn you nausea why are you back??  I thought I would only see you in the first trimester....

Maternity Clothes: YES please!!  That's ALL I wear, they're so comfortable that the days I try to wear regular clothes it makes me feel so uncomfortable that I just give up.

Stretch marks:  No, none yet, thank god!  Come on body, we only have 10 more weeks, I think we can make it out ALIVE! :D

Symptoms I HAVE:   Besides feeling stuffed all the time, feeling nauseous, having a stuffy nose, pain in my ribs, being ridiculously tired AGAIN, I don't have any symptoms at all.  I'm not complaining though because I do get some perks, like when I'm eating before I say hi to everyone at a party, everyone understands because I'm preggers, OH and when I want to go home from an event to no one calls me a party pooper cause I'm preggers :)

Doctor’s Appointment:  I have one scheduled for this Friday, I'm sure it's just a standard appt, nothing too big is going to happen, BUT after this one they are coming EVERY TWO weeks!  I'm excited, it means he will be here in NO TIME!

What I'm looking forward to:  I'm actually looking forward to a few things, the baby shower is in a couple of weeks, followed by ANOTHER baby shower a couple of weeks later, PLUS we have a whole bunch of different classes set up that I actually can't wait to attend!

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still fitting like normal :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: I think I was a little happier this week.

Sleep: Ehhh...it's okay...I wake up a few times a night tossing and turning, BUT it could be a LOT worse!

Showing:  Ummm...yes....EVERYONE touches my belly now, it's still funny to get used to because usually random people do not randomly come up to you and touch your stomach...

Sons of Anarchy

Okay, so I'm PRETTY sure that you have heard me mention, MORE then once, on this here blog that me and the husband have RECENTLY become OBSESSED with SOA!!  If you haven't seen it....it's on Netflix, feel free to watch it!  It's AMAZING and although it took me 4 ALMOST 5 seasons to realize that I needed to jump on this bandwagon (I mean really, I have NO idea how I had managed to let it slip by me for so long)

I randomly started watching on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, and was telling the husband about how much I really liked it, in which he replied, 

"I've been telling you that we should watch it!"  

my bad, so we've been watching it EVERY single night for the passed ummm two weeks or so...AND on most weekends when we aren't getting 1 of the million things that we have to do done, then we spend hours and hours watching it, I mean really it's an addiction!  

BUT last night...something awful happened!  We finished season 3, and it was AMAZING!!  The BEST episode yet!  and guess what?!?!  

Season 4, isn't on NETFLIX!!  

Can you believe it!?!?!  We looked online every where and couldn't find anywhere that it was streaming...no where, so what does a desperate couple do that can't wait to watch the reruns on FX to play before the new season starts?  

BUY IT ON iTUNES! :D  

AND for $21.99 poorer...

we started watching season 4, and 

OMG!

I'm hoping that we go through these 14 seasons VERY slowly so that we don't have THAT much time until season 5 starts on September 11th, BUT ugggh I KNOW we're going to get through it in a week MAYBE a week and a 1/2 if we have things to do...so at least it will be back NEXT MONTH!  YAY!

I mean really??

look at this dude?  he makes the show that much better to watch....

especially with this hair cut..

AND any show where Peggy Bundy is this crazy is worth a watch...I mean really?  She TOTALLY got rid of the bon bons, big hair and high heels

and turned into a TOTAL BADASS!!  She's CRAZY!  AND I LOVE HER!!!

Carter Update :)

Does it seem like ALL I ever talk about on this blog here is Baby Carter?  It's probably because I'm OBSESSED with him!!  I mean OBSESSED!!  EVERY SINGLE DAY I think about the day he'll be on the outside, and although I KNOW that it's gonna be crazy, and our LIVES are going to change INSTANTLY I mean really, we are going to have a itty bitty tiny human being to take care of for...umm just the rest of our lives! :)  BUT I can't wait!!!

So, I'm going to share with you some of the stuff that I have become OBSESSED with in the recent days.

Oh and I have officially FULLY embraced having a BOY!  and NOW I can't even imagine having a girl!!

1.  I am OBSESSED with this picture of baby Carter!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, love his little face!!  Can't wait to kiss it over and over again once he gets out!

it looks so blurry on here :(

2.  This Mickey Mouse costume on the Disney Store, I am going to order it ASAP and keep my fingers crossed that Carter comes out BEFORE Halloween so that he can wear it!  Hear that Baby, you NEED to come out BEFORE Halloween!

the CUTEST for a little TINY baby! :)

3.  Dinosaurs!!  I'm OBSESSED!!  Not only is his bed set Dinos BUT now every single time I find ANYTHING with Dinosaurs on it, I want it for the baby!  (most things unless they are NOT cute) I've been SEARCHING for a cute dinosaur plush for him, and I have yet to find one, does anyone know where I can get this dinosaur at in plush and BIG!?!

she's soooooo cute!

Here is Carter's bedroom set, that I am still in love with! :)

it reminds me of the ugly dolls and I LOVE them!

I mean really, it's so cute!  AND it has all the colors that I want for his room!!  Green, Blue, Gray, pops of orange!  Like I said, I am obsessed with Dinosaurs, so I naturally bought him THIS pair of pajamas!  They're so cute!

AND I am searching EVERYWHERE for this dinosaur!!!  and I can't find it anywhere for LESS then $500 

it would match PERFECTLY in his room!

I love that I can feel Carter from the outside now, it is still kinda creepy that you can feel body parts and stuff, BUT it's amazing that you can feel his back or head, not really sure what it is, but it's something and when I touch him he moves!  It's a CRAZY/AMAZING experience!!!

I'm IN LOVE with this stroller/car seat combo!!  I LOVE the colors, it looks so comfortable!  and really, so boyish, and not babyish...i don't really like babyish looking things for boys....

LOVE it!

I'm IN LOVE with Carter's baby shower invites!  They're the BEST!  Can't wait to frame one and put it on his wall, that I really really really want to do that's hopefully going to turn out something like THIS!

BUT a little less cluttered & NO TV

and here are his invites!

sorry so pixilated it's from a picture of a computer screen

AND finally I have come across MY HABIT and I LOVE it!  I've bought a couple of different shirts for Carter from it, and I can't wait til they get here, it's FREE shipping and I LOVE free shipping!  That's the BEST!  and they have the BEST stuff!!  

We are getting started on the babies room this weekend (hopefully) and I will be sure to give updates, I'm not the BEST decorated so I'm getting a LOT of help from pinterest! :)

Baby Laines-29 Weeks

How far along: 29 weeks! :)

Baby's size: 15-16 inches & around 3 lbs!  The size of an acorn squash! 

Miss Anything: I miss not feeling stuffed all the time :(  Between my nose running constantly and feeling like I can't take a FULL breathe I feel like someone is holding a pillow in front of my face, can't wait for this feeling to go gone!

Best moment this week:  Feeling the little one move, more and more, really though, either he doesn't like people that much, OR he loves people so much that he doesn't want to move around them, because really when we're around people he HARDLY ever moves, EVER!  This last week when it's just me and him though he moves like CRAZY :)  LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Movement: He's moving more then before, BUT still not moving TOO much, we'll see if this changes in the next couple of weeks!

Food cravings: Hmmm besides cookies, ice cream and sweets nothing really.  like if that is nothing :) It's really the husbands fault though because he LOVES that kind of stuff Baby Carter is gonna be just like him I KNOW it!

Anything making you queasy or sick: NOPE, still just feel sick if I don't eat on time!

Maternity Clothes: YES please!!!  OMG!  I have been wearing SOME of my old shirts BUT for the most part they are getting too short or too tight :(  AND 90% of the pants/shorts or skirts that I wear now are maternity, they are SOOOO much more comfortable!

Stretch marks: Still none, only 11 weeks to go...lets hope they don't get added later, pleaseeeeeeee

Symptoms I HAVE:   Besides feeling stuffed in my nose and chest, my growing belly, my random leg cramps, my inability to jump right out of bed, or the ability to be comfortable falling asleep in two seconds then nothing really.

Doctor’s Appointment:  I have a Dr Appt NEXT Friday and THEN they are EVERY two weeks after that!  YAY!!  That just means that the baby is going to be here in NO time!  Can't wait!

What I'm looking forward to:  The baby showers, (yes we're having two) I can't wait to see all the cute stuff that he gets!!

Gender: BOY!!!

Belly Button in or out: in

Wedding rings on or off: on and still fitting like normal :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happier this week then normal, I'm excited that the weeks are going by pretty fast, and hopefully they keep going fast, and he gets here soooooooooon!

Sleep: ehhhh...it's okay...when I get in bed, it takes me a little while to get comfortable so that's NOT fun, BUT once I'm asleep for the most part I'm OUT! :)

Showing:  uggh i think people can OFFICIALLY tell that I'm carrying a baby AND not just a fatty!

Family Vacation

So this last weekend we spent 5 days in Indio, CA.  If you don't know where Indio is, it's a town a little past Palm Springs, CA.  It's where Coachella is held every year.  Anywho, like I said before this trip has become a family tradition for the last couple of years...the first year we went to Big Bear....then Vegas....then Palm Springs and this year Indio....don't ask where we are going next year because we have NO idea yet.  I don't decide until ummm we absolutely MUST decide!  We'll figure it out once the times comes, until then I'm gonna tell you ALL about our WONDERFUL trip to Indio, CA.

P.S. MOSTLY ALL of the pictures that I am going to post on my blog here are from this girls FaceBook, BUT don't you worry your little heads there is NO way she is going sue me for Copyright laws because, well she's my cousin and her son is my godson and well she loves me too much!  BESIDES she'll probably NEVER write a blog post about the last weekend, cause she's a TERRIBLE blogger now, and likes to blame it on the fact that she doesn't have a computer.  whateva.  BUT in case she does want to sue me I'm going to add #TBJ next to all the pics I jacked from her :)

I KNEW that it was going to be hot, because I asked Siri and she said...

BUT we all figured, it wasn't THAT bad considering that we went to Palm Springs last year and it was RIDICULOUSLY HOT and muggy the whole time, so we hoped for the BEST :) 

P.S. YES it did Rain on Monday, so much in fact that we actually got kicked out of the pool!

We arrived in Indio around 2:30 ish, and ONLY two of our 4 rooms were ready so we hung out with everyone that was there for about 2 or so hours....drinking wonderful Margaritas 

unfortunately it was virgin for me :l #TBJ

We enjoyed the view....and it was 

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

and this was the day that we were leaving and it was all rainy and gloomy

That was only one of the pools and you can't see all the jacuzzi's that were EVERYONE plus the multiple KIDDIE pools & the LAZY river!!  It was sooooo nice!  Way nicer then I expected it to be that's for sure, and all of the timeshares that my Dad owns are REALLY nice!

We ALL FINALLY got our rooms and I had to go to the store (of course).  You see, beforehand I had set up a MENU for us all to follow so that NOT one family or person got stuck doing all the cleaning or cooking, while someone else did NOTHING.

color coded and ALL :)

We were there from Friday (afternoon) until Tuesday morning/afternoon.

I just realized as I am typing this that, all Friday night from when I got there until I went to bed, all I did was get everything ready for the entire weekend, in hopes that meant I could relax the rest of the weekend, so after we ate dinner and my dad arrived we headed to the store to get the rest of our supplies for the THIRTY-TWO people that joined us on this trip.  YES you read that right THIRTY-TWO people!  TWENTY-THREE adults and NINE kids!

yes, it was crazy and YES it was FUN!!

So to not bore you with lots of details I'm going to give you a run down of what we did while there...

We 

WATCHED THE OLYMPICS!

lazyyyyy's AND yes we were under the covers in the 100 degree weather because the room temperature was set to 68!

We 

PLAYED BINGO

 where we thought we would win a SUPER cool prize, and didn't even take the kids with us because we THOUGHT it was Adults only....ya, we were the ONLY adult only table.

As you can see by our faces!  We were ALL shocked we were the only ones without kids! #TBJ

Needless to say with ALL those cards we didn't win NOTHING, NOT even ONCE!  

WE did 

LOTS of eating!

Club Sandwiches=AMAZING! #TBJ

Lots of Bolies!

AND LOTS of ICE CREAM!

and I might have bought stuff to make sundaes TWO nights in a row and the kids didn't get any either night...sorry kids but Carter made me do it!

We 

SWAM LOTS!!

looks like the husband is drowning while carrying the baby! #TBJ

throwing kids...NBD #TBJ

this KID would NOT leave the kiddie pool...umm EVER! #TBJ

Just floating around, NBD #TBJ

LOVE this bathing suit! #TBJ

Michael Phelps in the making #TBJ

Michael Phelps GIRL VERSION (sorry don't know any girl swimmers) #TBJ

We 

took naps

some people more then others...

like grandma like grand daughter #TBJ

Great Grandma sleeping by the pool, don't ask her if she's TIRED though, cause she's NOT even sleeping!! #TBJ

The kids 

watched Despicable Me 

ummmm 10,000,000 times!

Kids cried

Poor Bryson!!  Your Mom is ALWAYS making you CRY!

We 

USED LOTS OF TOWELS

this is what happens when you ask a kid to hang towels outside to dry :l

this is the amount of towels we had at the end of the trip...in ONE room!

Kids Danced!

ohhh ya getting down!

She was even killin' flies while dancing!

P.S. I know MOST of my pictures are of TWO kids, but it's because they're just so much cuter to take pictures of! :)

We 

enjoyed the view some more

it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! :D

#TBJ

and some people were 

HUNG OVER! :)  

LOVE YOU TBJ!! ;D

this was so my dad, my sister & me last year!

It was so much fun, and now of COURSE I can't wait for the next Vacation!  We'll have to see where we end up...even though I KNOW NO matter where we go, I'm POSITIVE it's going to be a BLAST!!

It's okay THURSDAY!!

I can't even begin to explain how happy I am that today is THURSDAY!!  Even though I had Monday & Tuesday off, it seems like this week is draggingggggggggg :l  Isn't that they way it always is when you only work a couple of days?  The days take longer?  Or is that just me?

Without FURTHER ADO....

It's okay that....

....RANDOM people's blogs that I follow annoy me!  BUT I can't stop reading them :/

....I have entered into a RIDICULOUS amount of giveaways and still have yet to win one :(

....my little Marlee Muffin is going through something like separation anxiety or something because she's scratching at the door when we leave and scratching at the doors when the Husband is taking a shower...my poor baby I don't know what to do to help her :l

....I got RIDICULOUSLY excited when I saw the baby shower invites that the husband's cousin did for little Carter's shower!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!

....we FINALLY decided on a middle name...AND that LOTS of people that I have told what it is are already TALKING SHIT!  Ummmm remember when it's MY baby and ME & THE HUSBAND can name him whatever we WANT!!  DUHHHH Oh & on his shower invites his name looks so cute together LOVE LOVE LOVE!

....my little Santiago is staying at my parents house "visiting" for a couple of years until we buy a house and can take him back, it just seems like he is NOT lovin' his new digs as much as we thought he would, and he seems much happier @ the parents house where he can RUN and be free!  

....I'm POSITIVE that maybe some of the separation anxiety that my little muffin has is because Santiago doesn't live with us anymore :(  Sorry Muffin, we'll take you to visit him this weekend!  PROMISE!!

....we of COURSE had a RIDICULOUSLY fun time this weekend on our vacation & that I got hardly ANY pictures, I swear I used to be a GREAT photographer & NOW, NOW I suck!  

....I didn't do ANYTHING for my birthday NOTHING AT ALL!  Wait!  I had pizza...and I bought Carter some new stuff at the outlets, idk for some reason it didn't feel like my birthday this year....oh well I have plenty more & NEXT year when it's my bday I'll have a 9 month old baby :D  Can't wait!!!

....I can't wait for the next 12 weeks to go by!  I KNOW that I can, because I have soooooo much stuff to do before the baby gets here, BUT I can't wait to see his little face! :)

....I really really really hope Carter is born on my Mom's birthday or somewhere really close so that he can wear the Halloween costume that I already have picked out for him.

....I get SUPER happy when people ask, "How far along are you?" and I say "7 months" and they reply with "ohhhhhh you're little!"  YES!!  PLEASE stay little baby Carter, we would like a calmmmmm easy delivery please!

....I wear glasses now at work for the computer and think it's hilarious that when I look away from the computer everything is blurry!  hahahaaha makes me feel like those people that need glasses for every day things.

....everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to go out on Maternity Leave and I have NO idea AT ALL!  I WANT to stay at work until as late as possible so I get more time after, but that MIGHT change if this baby makes me RIDICULOUSLY uncomfortable!

....I need to go grocery shopping, and haven't been in ummmm two weeks :l  TERRIBLE I know!  BUT uggh I didn't wanna go before we went on vacation and now it feels pointless to go during the week, operation MAKE WHATEVER IS IN THE PANTRY is in FULL effect!

....the husband and I are STILL OBSESSED with Sons of Anarchy!!  It's just sooooooooo good!

....little Penelope decided that since she went 4 days without rigorous potty pad training she should come home and TRY to forget she was trained at all....ohhhhhh nooooooo it feels like all those months are getting lost...please don't let it be so!  OPERATION:  Get Penelope back to level of training she was at, is ALSO in full effect!

....I am counting down the days until my due date, I can't wait to be home with the puppies and having time to get the babies nursery together, hmmm those 6 weeks before don't sound so terrible after all...BUT then I'd have to come back SOOONER...nevermind only 80 days!!  YAY!!

....I get SUPER easily annoyed and if you are annoying I think you shouldn't be around me, sorry but I can handle VERY little right now and I have NO tolerance for DUMB people!  AT ALL!  

....I want ice cream!

....I got a birthday cake on my birthday and we never cut it, it's still sitting in the container it came in, maybe we should cut that tonight...but it feels like a waste when it's just me and the husband.

....pregnancy brain is a killer, and I have looked back up at the rest of my "it's okays" to make sure that I haven't repeated myself yet.  Same thing happens in text messages.

....we still haven't gotten our deposit back from moving out of the old apartment when we moved out a MONTH ago!!  ACTUALLY it's NOT okay, and I called and they said they mailed it...why do I have a feeling that they BARELY mailed it today?

....every single time I read or write "I have a feeling" that dumb Black Eyed Peas song plays in my head?  EVERY SINGLE TIME!  "I have a feeeling woooooooo hoooooooooo that tonight's gonna be a goooood nightttttt"

....we bought tickets to Coachella for next year AND I'm ALREADY having anxiety about leaving the baby, it's really a good thing that the Husband and I already talked about this and we decided that if we don't feel comfortable leaving him then we are going to sell our tickets....hey at LEAST we'll make some money off them!

....I lonnnnnnnnng for a king size bed, and I'm sad that we COULD buy one, BUT I would much rather pay off some of the debt we have :(  Maybe next year king size bed!  UNLESS we win the lottery! :)

....it's ALMOST friday!!  YAY!!!
