Subject: Nightlife of a soon to be mommyNext blog...maybe

So as I sit here at 215am I reflect on my night. Went to bed at 830 woke at 1130 to p and again at 100am clock time aka 1245am real time and now I lay here listening to the deep slow breaths of my slumbering husband. Thinking how lovely it would be to sleep so soundly that u don't feel the constant toss and turn and getting out of bed wife. Oh and did I mention the fact that my mind is racing of things to do today once I'm really awake or delirious at work, so I write myswlf an email of things to accomplish before my head crashes to my desk. And then it starts to race about hmm maybe I should p again so if I fall asleep (yeah right) I will get a few hours in. But first I'm thirsty so up we go to get some nice ice cold apple juice,yum. P, lay in bed and oh crap sugar! Babies now awake and loving the sugar damn and really is that my dog snoring? Do I have a sign that says please rub it in folks "I don't sleep". I find it interesting in baby books how it talks about ligaments stretching and how u will now be clummsy um or maybe ur so delirious u no longer see straight so walls really do move I think that's a more accurate accessment. So anywho babies awake mind racing so let's move to the couch and write the next blog at 2 something in the morning. Why move to the couch bc I feel bad the typing might wake the oh so peaceful dog and husband. Sheesh I should wake them up at least then I won't be sitting here alone in the dark typing away on the crackberry. Oh well my lovely nightlife oh and before I leave I must say why oh why now do I get a headache like the delirium isn't enough thanks baby jesse for preparing me for your arrival but honestly we still have 7 weeks couldn't you chill out until the last 2? And my dr wonders why I'm a ragin b word on occassion hmm yeah I'm tired I'm probably hungry and I breathe like I ran a marathon getting out of bed! Oh and speaking of hunger so last night I guess it was now I'm starving so I have an apple walk the dog come home eat a rolled taco and I'm stuffed are you kinding! I'm starving and a rolled taco fills me up, dang kid we need to talk bc when there is good mexican food and salsa on the table mama wants to eat and you position yourself right there on my stomach... Not cool!

Anywho sneak peak into my nightlife hope urs was betterA

week 31

ok so i have officially moved into ready mode/ freaking out mode. I am ready for her to be here so that i can see her but freaking out because are we ready? well ready or not only 9 more weeks!!! Well Sat we had a wonderful girls weekend and I got to see miss Jillian who is tiny and adorable and all belly! I felt like a prego train everytime we went potty together (hehe potty) I love being with other prego girls I just wish I had someone as big as me. I know I'm not huge and I'm caring all in the belly blah blah blah but honestly can I get 1 person out there that is due the same day or later who is bigger than me. Whatever enough with the whinning. So we all had an amazing lunch talking about sex, love and rock n roll well maybe not rock n roll but we covered pretty much everything possible and had an amazing time doing it. I love getting together with the ladies. Here are some pics of Jill and I together showing the belly love! Oh and ok so I had a dr appt where we tried to do a 4d but little miss A likes to push her face against my placenta (sounds kinda funny i know) so there is no fluid to have the sono waves pick up her features. So no cutie pics...but we are officially 35 lbs which I am actually good with. I mean lets be honest I would gain 80 lbs if thats what I have to do to have a healthy happy baby girl. So I'm taking it all and enjoying it. Another thing I'm trying to enjoy is...my mommy marks thats right I got them and I love every one of them. This is something that I can show her to say first I built you from scratch and then I stretched my body to its limits to make sure you were healthy. I mean yes they are ugly but how amazing is it that your body can stretch and mold to hold a growing human that you built in 10 months. I don't know I still think its pretty amazing. Maybe I'm loving this pregnancy thing a little too much or maybe there is something wrong with me but I seriously feel like mommy marks are completely looked at in the wrong light. We should be proud of our weight gain, our mommy marks and the insane dark huge nipples we are building the future here people so stop looking at everything as ugly or something that can't be fixed. Anywho I'm rambling so I guess I should stop writing but let me leave you with one thing for any of you who haven't experienced this amazing adventure... first trimester your exhausted, second trimester your tired and third trimester your delirious so get out of our way because we might just punch you in the nose and kick you in the shin because its just what happens at this stage :)

1-14-10 Week 30

Ok so i'm going back a week but I have to tell you all about the funniest story ever. I have gone over to the hormonal side of pregnancy now probably since 29 weeks maybe beginning of my 30th week I have just started being hormonal like holy heck really hormonal. So the other night I'm driving home and Jake asks me what do you want for dinner... well I didn't really care and well I was hungry so anything would do. Well I'm 5 minutes from home and I call to see what he decided and he pulled out 2 chicken breasts for me (one for dinner and one for lunch the next day's lunch) and he was making himself meatballs and rice. As many of you know Baby A does not like ground beef so I have been without ground beef for a while. So anywho he is defrosting chicken and I am like damn I really don't want any more chicken but its already out so thats what I'm having. Well I get home see the chicken defrosting and I get super bummed out. At this point I am a 5 year old pouter sitting on the couch. He brings me dinner I take one bite and I start to cry. He asks me "are you crying?" which I respond by tears lots and lots of tears we are talking can't breathe sobbing. Imagine a little girl that just had her favorite toy stollen that was me. And during this I'm trying to tell him "no more chicken I just can't eat anymore chicken" hahaha yeah it was rough! So he takes it and puts it away and asks what he can get me where can he drive (AKA get away from you while you freak out) to get you something to eat. Oh My, my poor poor husband but he was so good just hugging me while I sob uncontrollably. Yes the hormones have taken over. So the next night at dinner what do I order chicken and pasta I don't know what my deal was I have had chicken pretty much everyday since then with no outbreaks but when I get too hungry the smallest thing makes me cry :(

On another note we are finally done with the baby's room we went to Ikea and got a sleeper sofa, which I think at first Jake agreed to getting at first because he was afraid that I was going to cry again, but then Kevin came into town and guess what he slept on.... My Sleeper sofa!!! He said that it was comfy too! I thought that it was comfy when I layed on it at Ikea but its nice to have him agree that it was comfy and he said that as soon as he layed down he slept like a rock so hopefully it really is that comfy and he wasn't playing nice due to my husband telling him about my tears :) The only thing that I can tell you ladies is that now due to the hormones making me cry about everything is that I get things a little easier these days. Which is nice but I hate the tears they are so ridiculous oh well just keep me fed I guess is the key.

1-8-10 week 29

ok so we stunk on the picture taking this week so next week (this coming thursday really, 30 week) you will get to see how she jumped out again! she is so active and last night/this am she was so active that my stomach seriously feels bruised! oh well at least she's active right, wait right? someone please reassure me this is a good thing... I knew I was in trouble when at 12 weeks the dr told me she was crazy active. does this mean shes going to be crazy active outside. What have we gotten ourselves into! Well nothing new this week just trying to get back to eating normal as in not eating every sweet thing insight like I did the entire month of December. Oh and we went to the dr last Friday and we are doing a sonogram next appt (week 21, friday 1-22-10) and I am going to make sure we aren't having twins! And she better still be a girl! haha seriously if another person asks if i'm having twins I'm going to leave come home and have a glass of wine like my dr suggested otherwise I'm going to punch them in the nose, kick them in the shin and run away before they are able to do anything ! hehe ok well week 30 here we come and can't wait until the baby showers! I'm soooo excited for all the fun stuff!

Baby's Room...

Yeah Baby Here It Is!!! ok the 1st pic is My hunny with the tree all taped and ready to be painted.

The next pic is a pic of him with it primed, painted and stenciling on the leaves.

And the 3rd and final pic is the room done! the tree with the swing in front of it and on the lower right the crib. you can see our bedding hanging over the back of it.

He worked so hard and it turned out amazingly! I love it so much and I know that our daughter will love it too! I think my favorite part is that it goes on both colors. And incase you want to know my favorite branch (yes I have one) is up in the top left it has a little bump in the branch it looks like it should have a little knot or something in it and I love it!

week 28 new years!

HAPPY NEW YEARS to all my alicious friends! what an amazing week I'm off of work going crazy getting laundry done and seriously I did laundry every single day! But good news got the laundry done, got the bed out of the babies room and into our room, got rid of our bed, got the babies room done, and got all of her clothes and blankets washed! I feel so accomplished right now but I wish that I had slept more but she thinks its party central inside my tummy. I think she knows that new years is fastly approaching.

Oh and the baby blanket is coming along...I thought that I didn't get enough fabric so my mom and I went out got more fabric found that one fabric was seasonal so then my sister and I called every fabric store here to TJ and found it!!! so I ordered an extra 4.5 yards, just to be on the safe side. Once it came in I got to cutting and um yeah I never divided my 72 squares by 4! yikes so now I have enough fabric to make 4 blankets! hahaha seriously I even had my mom look at my measurements. I'm blaming my tardness on the fact I'm prego, but my mom hmm I will have to ask what her excuse is :) hehe I guess thats what you get for making a blanket pattern up in your head while you are at the fabric store. oh well at least she will have a blanket lovingly made by her creative mama.

Other than that the room is done as in completely done! bedding is all washed, the tree has been painted, and we found a couch bed! Yep so we went to SD looking for a new rocker recliner for the living room and while we were down there we decided to check out Ikea just for the heck of it all, so we are there and we find this love seat looking couch that pulls out to a twin???full??? the bigger of the two. so here Jake and I are laying on this bed in the middle of Ikea at this point of my pregnancy I don't care about asking people where things are at or really caring at what people are thinking. Honestly I have almost pulled over on the side of the freeway, wrapping a blanket around me to P and truthfully I would P without the blanket if I knew I wouldn't get a ticket for some indecent exposure :) So anyway the couch bed was super comfy and after feeding the two of us or i'm sorry three of us we decided that the couch was a good idea. So in the truck it goes and the next day I put the whole dang thing together! yes all done!!!

Ok so New Years is upon us and we went to dinner with some great friends and then back to their house and hang out and I would like to announce that J and I were the last couple to leave! Yes I think I was a little stubborn. Just like when J told me that mama's go to bed at 8 I stayed up until 9 just to prove that I'm a mama and not the norm :) yes baby Jesse is the same way! Example you want to feel here move and shes playing gymnastics in my belly and then you put your hand on my stomach she will stay still until you give up. Seriously she has a talent of waiting and waiting and once you move she gives a good punch or kick. So anywho great night and I had a rainbow roll my favorite roll ever!!! And my first sushi since getting prego it was a great night. Oh and then I tried champagne again and ewww holy heck it tasted like rubbing alcohol again. Such a bummer, oh well I will be up and running with a martini soon enough. I know you all are probably thinking hmm Martini really, but yes all of a sudden I have started craving a Martini and not only any martini but either a peach or chocolate espresso martini from vigilucii's and no i'm not a crazy martini drinker I usually prefer wine but lately yummmm I could seriously go for a martini. Any who hope you all had an amazing new years! And I am going to post bedroom pics and belly pics shortly. oh and maybe I'll post the new years video too :)

Trees, Furniture and Week 27!

So we are into our 27th week and with it comes Christmas!!! We had a wonderful day got lots of new baby clothes, bedding for the crib and gift certificates to outfit mommy once her lovely curves have dropped and drupped down to her old/new self :) Christmas day we were officially 90 days and counting can you blieve it! we went from 300 some odd days to now less than 90. It makes me so sad thinking that soon she will be out in the world taking on all the amazing things thrown her way. I kinda like the fact that she is protected in my big belly and I can make sure nothing bad happens. I think the rest of our lives will be spent worrying. Worrying about the scrapes and bruises, worrying about the first everything and then worrying about her being out of the house...No wonder parents go through empty nest I get sad thinking about it already and its 18+ years away. ugh ok new topic.

So yesterday we spent an amazing day cleaning and putting xmas stuff away in preperation to the new furniture coming... My mom came over and between her and Jake got rid of our old bed moved the sleigh bed into our room and picked up the babies furniture. While they were gone I accomplished moving a mountain so that they had room to put all this new stuff. And oh my the furniture didn't seem quite this big in the 3000+ sqft store that we bought it in but wowie its big. At least we have it now and it can start to get assembled so that I can start organizing the room. I should totally take pics so that you all can see exactly how much stuff can be stuffed into a closet but that would be totally embarrasing :) so sorry you don't get to see that but i will be posting pics of the progress with the Tree!

Did I tell you all about the babies room??? Not sure so anywho we decided on the bedding its Janaca by Cocalo its a girly jungle theme which is totally us. I am a huge Elephant fan and Jake loves Girafes and then most of you know our nickname is Monkey (thats a really funny story how that came about...I'll try to remember to post the story) so any how the bedding is perfect for us! So we took a color out of the bedding and painted one wall (its sort of a Merlot color, also perfect since I love wine) and slightly off center there will be a big tree that Jake is producing with tape at the moment and I am sitting on the floor monitoring :)I think he will have it primed today and painted tomorrow so I am so excited to see how it turns out. So because the tree is off center we will have leaves falling off the tree on the one side and maybe some birds or something flying by the other corner. Any ideas let me know. Oh and the tree is going to be white so that it totally stands out. So that is on the accent wall. The wall with the window will for now just have the dresser, but I think eventually I might find a small bookcase to place under the window. And opposite the window is the crib. Above the crib we will paint her name (name is still being kept a secret) I really want to do maybe silver outlined in the melot in Edwardian Script (which is the font we love from our wedding).

Anywho i think this post is probably a little long so stay tuned for the pics of the tree and its progress.

Love you all
JAAG & Barley (Jake, Anna, A, Gonzales )
