30 weeks!!

I forgot to take a pic today! Maybe I will get one tomorrow, better late than never!

I don't feel like getting all fancy so I'm just gonna go with the weekly survey thing again!

How far along: 30 weeks! Finally!
Weight gain/loss: Still 131 as of yesterday. So no weight gain in one week, whew!
Maternity clothes: My pants are getting tighter .. I'm good as long as I don't sit too long in them, then I'm uncomfortable. And my shirts are starting to look like tents. I'm loving comfy pants.
Sleep: I'm starting to wake up again in the middle of the night. My dreams are crazy, I sometimes wake up scared! They seem so real!!
Best moment this week: Getting help. It took lots of guts to finally call and make an appointment. And I finished painting the brick around the fireplace and I'm almost finished painting the trim in the living room. Feels good to get things accomplished.
Food cravings: None that I can think of. Just hungry all the time and then comes the heartburn!
Belly button in or out: It kinda looks flat!
Movement: I can definitely tell baby is getting bigger. I can feel pokes all over my belly now.
What I miss: Feeling sane. My hormones are taking over. Some days I'm a raging crazy woman, others I'll cry over ANYTHING, all day long. It's awful.
What I'm looking forward to: Getting better!
Milestones: Reaching 30 weeks! It's getting closer!

I finally did it ..

I went to the doctor (and I don't mean the baby doctor).

Yep, I'm certified crazy .. or so I told my hubby. I'm from a family full of crazies. I was hoping I'd get lucky. Well, looks like I'll be taking Prozac to hopefully cure whatever ails me. Gotta get right before baby #3 gets here!

Here's to hoping I get rid of this anxiety and depression. I never knew it could get so bad.

5 Question Friday, on Saturday!

1. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?

Childbirth, without a doubt.

2. How much sleep do you get at night?

My sleep is so random. Typically, I stay up late and wake up semi-early. My hubby crashes early, like 9pm. I like to stay up and catch up on all the laundry from the day, check emails and all that stuff. I get to bed earlier on the weekday obviously like most people do I guess. Anyway, since hubby goes to bed so early he wakes up pretty early and I'm a LIGHT sleeper. So when he's up, I'm usually up until he walks out the door then I go back to sleep. Or try to, or sometimes (hardly ever though unless I have to) I'll go ahead and get up. I usually wake up around 9-10am!! But occasionally 7-8am. I never have to worry about the boys waking me up, I have to drag them out of the bed or off the couch in the mornings!!

3. How long did you believe in Santa Claus? How did you find out that he does not exist?

Sadly, I have no fun story here! I must have been young since I don't remember .. I have an older sister!!

4. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?

Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. I wanted Carson to see it since he was so in love with the first one. So just me and him went and Mama kept Jackson while he napped, he was tiny! It was Carson's first time to the movies, he loved it!! Carson begged to go back a billion times after seeing it so randomly one day I just went, with him and Jackson .. thinking since Jackson was a little guy (just turned one) he wouldn't be loud or anything. Oh bad idea. We only got to see maybe half of the movie, me and Jackson walking up and down the aisle where no one could see us and Carson sitting by his self in a movie theater! Yeah, not a good idea Mom, lol. So, it's been nearly a year and we haven't went back!

5. What do you wear to bed?

When I get dressed for bed, I basically just take everything off, throw on a pair of grannies (cute ones though) and a t-shirt. I wear jammies around if it's a while til bed, like pajama pants and a shirt .. but then when it's time to go to bed, I don't want anything over my undies. I like to be comfy and I don't like getting hot when I sleep!!

This was our attempt at taking a picture of me and the boys.


Brandon and Jackson


And our attempt at taking a family picture. Neither child wanted to be held or have their picture taken. Carson was literally running from us and Jackson was screaming! Me and Brandon were laughing!!


Brandon at Grandfather Mountain .. or some mountain near it? I don't know, it was on our way down! :)


Me and my hubby!


Mama's baby!!!


I'm pretty sure he will kill me for these pictures one day! I love them!!!!


Carson at a wedding!


Jackson at the wedding.

Jackson wanted me to take his picture. Precious baby.

My poor sweet child just had his foot slammed in the door (see the band-aid) It was awful, lots of blood and crying. He finally passed out.

We had Jackson in the sink running water on his foot and all trying to stop the bleeding. Carson brought him a Dora band-aid and Neosporin. I love my kids.

Carson saw me taking pictures of Jackson's toe and wanted his picture taken too! He loves this pink blanket .. he sleeps with it every night.


NO liquid of any sort in the fridge other than half and half. And who drinks that?! I just buy it for cooking. Seriously, I don't know how I didn't die that morning. Luckily we had just downed the last few drops of milk we had (with added chocolate syrup of course) and then drank water out of the sink until we could get ready and go shopping. I'm not going to lie, I stopped at Burger King and bought a LARGE Dr. Pepper and we drank that bad boy like homeless Ethiopians .. they're thirsty right? Well, just think of the thirstiest person in the world, that was me .. pregnant lady with only half and half in the fridge.

29 weeks!!

I haven't done this in a few weeks ..

How far along: 29 weeks!
Weight gain/loss: 131 lbs (I've gained 22 lbs so far!) Doctor says it's totally fine for my size. I'm still hoping for a 15 lb baby.
Maternity clothes: Absolutely. Still no maternity pants though. I can only wear maternity shirts though, unless it's a t-shirt, yet my size small t-shirts are getting tight so I can only wear them to bed or around the house. I'm still wearing regular jeans some buttoned, some not with my bella band.
Sleep: Yes, with my boppy pregnancy pillow curled in front of me, regular body pillow behind me, and three regular pillows under my head. No lie. It's annoying to roll over though! :)
Best moment this week: Seeing all the Christmas stuff start to go up! I know not really baby related, but it means it's getting closer to time for baby to come!
Food cravings: I've gone back to feeling starving all the time, but not really wanting anything.
Belly button in or out: It's weird. It's like half in half out. You can kinda see it when I wear tight shirts.
Movement: I can feel him poking at my ribs now!
What I miss: Being able to tie my shoes. Laying on my stomach. Seeing my girl bits, it's not easy to shave anymore. Buttoning my jeans. Comfortable sex. Going 15 minutes without having to pee.
What I'm looking forward to: I finally made a doctor appointment to see a doctor, other than my baby doctor. I'm going to see if I'm really crazy or not. I think this baby and my hormones have worsened my anxiety. And, my birthday is in two weeks. Yes, that's Thanksgiving Day. Honestly, I think that sucks. Tons of family all day, not my idea of fun. Good thing I'll be seeing my doctor before then ;) Plus, I think Hubby is going to finally get me a new phone. My ancient pile of crap doesn't even know the new existence of texting yet.
Milestones: I've made it to the THIRD Trimester!! Woo hoo!!! :)

I don't know what's getting bigger .. my love handles or my belly?

Going Insane or Completely Normal?!

My throat hurts from hollering at my kids all day, mainly Carson, my 3 year old. I've gave spankings, gave timeouts, and yelled, a lot. Probably too much.

I'm seriously considering:

1. Putting Carson in Preschool/daycare and possibly getting myself another job.

Or ..

2. Taking Xanax .. or something of the sort.

And I swear I'll be back soon to add pictures (lots of pictures) Halloween, Mountains and belly!

Right now I'm doing this:




Painting brick is MUCH harder than I ever thought. And much more time consuming than I imagined. What I thought I would get done in one day may take all week. Anyway, I'm getting it done.

Hormones Are Talking!

We just got back from the mountains (a couple days ago) and wow it feels so good to be home!! I don't mind taking vacations, but let me tell you .. the mountains will make you feel claustrophobic! Seriously, it was like long winding roads that led you to nowhere. We were literally miles away from anywhere and there wasn't much to do. Everything was closed. Did I mention the in-laws got the place .. Monday-Monday. They were supposed to get down there on Thursday, so we figured we would get there on Monday and stay for a few days that way we would have somewhat of a "family" vacation. Well, of course they show up on Tuesday. Call me a bitch but I was not thrilled. We left on Thursday and took the 5 hour drive home. They left soon after, imagine that. We only live about 10 seconds down the road from them, we see them enough already.

I very sadly, completely forgot my "anniversary". My husband and I were together for 10 years on October 10th. We both forgot! We met and started dating on October 10, 2000. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to celebrate next year at 11 years. That's even better, right?

I have a doctor appointment on Monday, already again! I'm going every two weeks now. I had a little situation .. well nasty situation happen over the week while I was at the mountains. (which is why we left when we did because I wanted to go to the doctor, but I couldn't be seen until Monday, which is when my next appointment is anyway!) Anyway, without rambling too much about this because it isn't something people like to read or talk about I'm sure .. I have a yeast infection. I'm sure it's from my pregnancy, hormones and all. Who knows but it's gross, I hate it and I hate the medicine. You can't take the one day pill when you're pregnant. I've only had one in my life other than this one, and I was pregnant with Jackson then. Gross stuff, but I'm getting it taken care of!

I had a little annoyance tonight. We just got a new puppy not long ago. Well, all day today we couldn't find her, we were home all day until nearly 5. We had a wedding to go to at 5pm. We hadn't seen our dog once all day. We were kinda freaking thinking someone had stolen her. Anyway, we didn't think too much about it since we were gone all week and we thought too she might just be hanging out somewhere she was while we were gone. We just had a guy come feed her over the few days we were gone, she doesn't runaway! So anyway, I get home before hubby because we drove separate so he could stay a little longer and so I could go by Walmart for a minute. There was a note on my door ..

"Hey,

When you get home come and get Bell plz she is at Jose's house."

I read this and turn around and there is their son, Alex standing in my garage telling my they have my dog. I asked him, "at your house?" and he said yes. I was freaking PISSED. Because then I remember we have been wondering where my dog was all day. We don't keep her inside. She seriously pees and craps as soon as she comes in, chews the kids toys, their shoes and my furniture, maybe I'm hateful, whatever. The kid, said it's freezing outside. Pissed me off again. Then said his house now has flees all over it. Did I tell them to put my dog in their house? NO. Did I ever tell them it was even okay to put MY dog in THEIR house? NO. And ALL day long at that. Then they waited to come tell us they had her AFTER we left our house. So basically I talked all shitty to the kid basically telling him that my dog should never be put in their house again, no matter the circumstance. It is our dog and they have no business treating her as their own, regardless if we are home, or not home, if it's cold or not cold. PISSED ME OFF.

We're hopefully soon putting our house on the market. I'm ready to move. Obviously, for many reasons not just ignorant neighbors.

I've got a bunch of new pictures .. when I get a little extra time I'll make a new post! I'm tired!! :) Plus maybe by then I won't be in such a awful mood! My hormones are a little wacky lately. I seriously just cried watching the ending of Toy Story 3!
