Don't upset my friends.....

Lesson learned this week....I guess I haven't been blogging about my pregnancy for them and they think I should be...including photos. Fine...I will take a photo this weekend!! I really have been doing so much to get ready for this baby....I workout 4days a week..2 with my trainer and 2 on my own. I have been retaining ALOT of water,but we think we have that taken care of and I don't average 7-9 pounds during the day that keeps me up all night getting rid of going pee. My boobs are so sore!! Yep..you wanted it girls so you will hear it all!! The good news...I look better naked than with clothes on..the bad news I need to wear clothes. I look at myself and see that my arms are where I want them to be...no bingo wings anymore...never again...I have worked for this!! My butt doesn't sit on my thighs...nope it is a BIG piece of muscle that stands out...not good in clothes. My legs are still skinny, but they have muscle also...which comes in handy for holding that butt up! Add all this up and me naked looks pretty good with a pop belly...me with clothes on looks like a fruppy fat lady. I really don't like the clothes here at all...yea H&M is fine, but every pregnant lady has the same thing on...I am ordering a bunch of stuff today and I am going to sell it on ebay when I am done...it is all the stuff worn by the stars here...it is cute and unfornately very expensive, but I can't do this anymore!! Is that enough for now??? I should find out if the sex of the baby at Christmas and I will tell me family and than post it right away or tell you in person. I am hoping for a boy, but I am not 100% anymore...I thought for sure, but something keeps nagging at me. I knew right off with Ian and now I just don't know for sure....we will see. We do have the names...don't ask...I won't tell...I don't want any options....you know you like the name if you like the kid...Ian and I have been gong through EVERY baby item we own to see what will still work....I have AWESOME clothes and alot of them are unisex in the beginning months...I think I have covered about everything...the last thing...I didn't post the last sono because the baby was upside down on its head and it was a bad photo...they didn't even charge me for it...YES...I said charge....it is socialized medicine after all!!

The next American Idol???

I happened to walk in on this one evening. Ian is singing a song he learned at school. I knew it was one of those "priceless" moments.

Life has been really busy lately....

I think that is what it is or I have been really lazy!! I really have tried to post a couple of photos and they just wouldn't load....don't know, but know they did!! We went to a fun fair last weekend...Ian had so much fun...as you can see by the photos. He loved the rides...most of them.
We had the "bright" idea to ride a family ride...mistake. It looked so innocent..we gave the guy our tickets...sat down...lowered the safety bar...AND...we saw it...yep...the words....HELLRAISER!! The ride had started and we knew it couldn't be good...Ian was fine...Jeff and I were about ready to throw up...the baby...if it comes out and smacks me in the face...I will understand. I do have to admit...I have never gotten sick on a ride and vomit did come up, but I just swallowed it!! GROSS...I know!!

I have been tagged again....

I have so many photos to post, but I will do this tag thing...and than I am out...I quit....I can't be tagged again. Does anyone really want to know 7 things about my that you might or might not already know?? Well...here goes....

1. I have to take 2 showers a day...yes...it is weird, but I can't get up and get moving without a shower in the morning. The thought of going to bed at night with all the days crap on me makes me sick...this would put my father-in-law in nervous mode when staying at this house. He thought I was going to use ALL the hot water.

2. I always ate hamburgers in layers until after college. I thought it made perfect sense...my roommate, Amy,thought is was plain weird. I always made the hamburger and ate the top bun, lettuce, etc until I finished.

3. I can't sit at home and watch a movie. It takes too long for me to just sit in one place...unless I am at the movie...I do usually get up once and use the restroom. I can't sit that long.

4. I love having pets. Dogs, cats, hamster, rabbits....you name it...except a snake. The poo doesn't bother me from those pets...just keep them clean.

5. I love hanging out with my sister, sister-in-law, niece, mom, mother-in-law...not all at once because they could get annoying. Just kidding. Seriously, I love each of them so much....we just laugh and have fun together....I think they like me so...I find it is better to be with people that like you.

6. I think cuff links are so sexy...yep...you read that right. I know that all men cannot wear those...and some would look dumb, but when my husband wears them...WOW!! He is metro so it works for him...it wouldn't work for all.

7. I can ride a motorcycle...yep...not a problem at all. My dad always had dirt bikes for us and I just grew up riding so in college my claim that I could ride one was laughed at...I challenged to a bet...this person took me up on it and off I went...I don't remember what kind it was...this was back in 1990 so it was the kind you lean really forward on....ok...I was nervous...I took off and popped the front up a bit...brought it down and was a legend for the remainder of my senior year.


Was that informative...I could have written some real juicy stuff, but I didn't have the energy to make claims like that......

Metamora homecoming....

This will be the last homecoming I will miss sweet Amanda...you look great!! Thanks for the photos...glad you had a fun date this year!!

My niece had homecoming the homecoming dance this weekend...and I was in rainy England...yep...we had to miss the parade and all the fun stuff. Freshman year she was Freshman attendant so Ian got TONS of candy...she will be able to be nominated again next year...so I won't miss the next one. Her date was Ryan...he is too sweet. He runs cross country with Amanda and they are great friends...which makes for a FUN date. You notice she has the Woods curse...can't wear shoes in pictures...too tall. Sorry....some of the boys will catch up with you....and please don't listen to all those people that say..."you are so lucky to be tall"..really why...now is when you hear all those lame excuses about being short...as they call it...us TALL girls call it PETITE...you know the area of the store that if we just walk through we get redirected!!

This is our family.....

Ian drew a picture of our family....I am the tall one with the baby in my stomach...
Ian is the tall slender one standing next to me....
Jeff is the short fat one in the back....

I was worried the one in the back might be me...but rest assured his claim is that I am not short....you notice what he left out

I did ask about hair...he explained I don't like fixing my hair anyway, so he made me with no hair...same for his dad and him...

I thought a had a dress on over the baby in my belly, but apparently that square shape around me is my body...I guess my stomach hangs to my knees...it doesn't yet!!

News from Ian.....

I know I haven't posted the Fall Festival video yet, but I will get to that this weekend...I have been slow this week. This whole having 6 hours a day free thing goes so fast!

Ian gave me the news today...well, let me back-up...almost everyday he tells me what he wants to be someday when he grows up. He pretty much stays the same...a doctor that owns a pet shop part time...the pet shop has a kinds of bugs and snakes in it...after he opens that up in the morning he goes to work and takes care of sick kids all day...at the end of the day goes back and closes pet shop. That sounds pretty good to me...I did mention why not be a vet...that didn't go over well...it sounded so sensible to me.
Today on the way home from school he brought the whole job thing up again. This time he was upset about his decision...which he wouldn't share. I finally told him that he didn't need to decide today...he had a few years. After a huge sign, it finally came out...he is going to work for John Deere!! He explained he thought about it and that is what he wants to do...he knows his dad will not like this, but he can't stop dreaming about John Deeres. I told him that dad wouldn't care and it would be fine. He wanted to call them and see what he could do...because he already knows how to drive, fix, and build all the tractors....yea right, Ian.
We stopped the conversion at that point because we were home. About an hour later I asked him if he would ever want to be a Transformer when he grows up....you know like a kid. He shook his head no and as I was leaving the room I heard him say..."she doesn't even know they are fake"...I almost wanted to defend myself with a "do too!"
The night ended with him letting me know that Transformers are not real and other toys are not real either....Santa and his elves make all these "fake" toys for kids on Jesus' birthday.....ok....my little boy is back!!
