GUESSING GAME!!

OK everyone. We are going to play the guessing game. Each of you leaves a comment and guesses the weight of the baby. As most of you know, 3am I am off to the hospital. Here is a picture of my bare belly, so you can use that to judge how much you think he will weigh. Good luck I will announce the winner when I am home. Sorry, I know some of you don't think pregnant belly's are attractive.

GIRLS NIGHT!!!

OK, so Friday night was seriously so much fun. We went and ate at BJ's and had frozen yogurt for dessert. So, I never ate at BJ's before and I must say, their Sante Fe salad was superb. We went to Mesa frozen yogurt afterwards. Ok, another place I have never been and besides the fact that it was seriously a slice of heaven, IT'S FAT FREE. Thanks Summer for teaching me something I will now use as an excuse. It really didn't help that I loved it so much, I managed to get it all over my big huge belly. It was so nice to FINALLY hang out with the girls. I got to also see a picture that Jacque's brother Mark took for the Reflections of Christ and that is on my budget to buy this year. He is an amazing photographer. His wife is seriously the cutest, spunkiest, funniest girl I have ever known. So, basically we all just sat around and caught up. It has seriously been so long since I have seen this family. So, the first picture below is of Me, Jac and Tara at BJ's while Jacque is opening her gifts, OOH-LA-LA. The second picture is the group pic at BJ's, the next one is at Frozen yogurt. Yeah I know I am a whale compared to all these girls, but they made me feel great so that was a definate help to my already bruised ego of being a big fat beached whale. Yeah can you believe in the 3rd pic down, the 2nd girl in from the right, THAT'S JERRY, JACQUE'S MOM!! She looks like one of the sisters not the mom. Well, that's all the excitement from my weekend. Hoping to have this baby any day now. THANKS MABRY GIRLS FOR INVITING ME OUT, IT WAS TONS OF FUN!!

OK I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST "HOSPITAL" BLOG

OK, so I have 6 days until this baby is here. I went to the Dr. yesterday and I am thinning out and am dilated to a 2. She thinks maybe I won't make it, but we will see. Sad part about this whole thing is that there is a 70% chance that Adam will have to go out of town for 2 weeks and he will be leaving Wed. or Thurs. so he will miss the whole thing. It's been so hard to think about. My mom was going to try to make it but can't as well, so I am doing it ALONE!! So, I would love love love anyone to come visit me. The hospital rules though are that no kids are allowed. Landen is the only kid allowed because he is a sibling. I think it's stupid but I guess it makes sense. They are trying to keep all the babies as healthy as possible. Also, I have my checklist and I am going to list all the things I have packed PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I AM FORGETTING ANYTHING.

• Toothbrush/Toothpaste
• Makeup
• Shampoo/Conditioner
• Hair dryer/Straightener
• Body Wash
• Robe
• Slippers
• PJ's
• Take home outfit
• G's
• Gum/Mints
• IPOD
• DVDs (just in case I get bored)
• Book
• Camera
• Face wash
• pillow/blanket (sheets just don't do it for me)
• Baby's take home outfit
• Blanket for baby
• Car seat

OK, that's all I have so far. Also, the Dr decided that because I will most likely be alone, that she is going to post pone my gall bladder being removed until Adam gets back home. She doesn't want me to have too much on my plate. Having a newborn is enough in it's own. I would rather just get it all done and over with, but that's me being a busy body. I can't wait but am so sad that Adam won't be here for the birth of his 1st child. Oh yeah and some of our good friends decided to steal our name so........ we can no longer use Preston. I have already went the rounds with Adam and he won't give in so I am very very angry about that!!! So, I am not going to announce the new name until he is here!! So, Sarinah if you read this can I please pay you to make the extra blocks for his room. Email me so I can tell you what's up. Thanks for all your guys support!!

GIRLS NIGHT OUT FINALLY!!

Tonight I will be going to have a girls night. FINALLY!! Cant remember when was the last time I had one of those. My friend Jacque is getting married next month WOO HOO, finally she found the perfect man for such a perfect girl!!! So, we are going to celebrate. I am so happy for her. I met her at work one day, she was new, and I knew she who she was because my ex would always say he was going on a date with her. So, I approached her one day and was like, "um yeah so I hear your going on a date with my ex husband", she was like "um OK who is that." I said Charley Kilpatrick and the rest was history. We became friends immediately (5 years and counting). She was actually the one friend (Ashley too) who saw I was kind of slipping away when my divorce with Charley was final and she never once judged me for the stupid decisions I was making. Instead of judging me, as most would have, she actually befriended me and set such a great example to me. I never really had friends like that before. We've had some crazy fun times it's so funny to think back at those days. Some of the funnest days of my life!! THE FISHOUSE ROCKS!! LOL. Even though I don't see you much anymore becaue you live in UT, I still love ya girlie and am so so happy for you.

REMEMBER THIS!! FUN TIMES AT A MANSION IN HEBER!!

LANDEN IS GROWING UP TOO FAST!!

So, we picked up Landen from school yesterday and it's so odd to me that he is almost 8 and he just knows way too much.  

So, like 3 months ago we went to his dads house to pick him up and he was on the phone.  He was talking like a normal adult.  So, he gets off the phone and I am like who were you talking to?  He said Analee.  I was like, what??  Your dad lets you talk to girls on the phone?  He said yes.  Staci assured me I have nothing to worry about because she is kind of a tomboy and wears the baggy clothes blah blah blah.....

So, of course I thought about it for basically, I haven't stopped thinking about it.  

So, I asked Landen what kind of things he talks about, I mean he is only 7 it's not like 7 year olds have a lot to talk about over the phone.  He was like, "Mom we talk about stuff, she is my girlfriend you know."  Ok excuse me!!  So, I kind of just let it go for a bit.  

Yesterday we go pick him up from school and Adam really wanted to see who this Analee girl was so he was waiting by his classroom and sees this girl come out and says, "crap I have to hurry and get out of here before Landen comes out."  Adam said based on what we have heard, he is pretty sure that was her.  

Landen gets in the car and I asked how his day was, it was fine.  Adam says, "Teed (that's his nickname for Landen) I saw your girlfriend Analee, dude you could totally get a way hotter girl than that."  I say, "Adam don't feed the fire are you serious."  Landen says, "so you don't think she is very cute?"  Adam says, "No."  Landen says, "Well, I am glad you said that because I broke up with her today!"  

WHAT 7 YEAR OLD SAYS THAT!  I was like Landen you don't even know what that word means.  He reassured me he did and oh boy was he right.  He said he is ready for a new girlfriend because he just got bored.  OK I don't get that, in elementary school I never had boyfriends or liked any boys, but I can't believe he is like growing up way way way too fast.  I am so emotional over the whole thing, it's really scary.  

Also, when he was a baby and loved mommy holding him and kissing him was the greatest thing in the world.  He still hugs every once in a while and kisses too, but my worst fear is when he gets to that age where he doesn't think he needs it anymore!!  

So, this morning we drop him off and before we pull into the school he says, "Mommy, I love you alot but when we get in front of the school do you think it's ok if I don't hug and kiss you, because my friends will make fun of me."  Yeah I am not kidding.  That was the hardest for me.  He saw me sad and did it anyway, but it's like what do you say and do in that situation.  It's all too much for me to take!!  

MY TIME IS ALMOST OVER!!

Ok, so I had one more episode in the ER this weekend with this freaking gall bladder.  My OB was out of town all week so I had to wait to find out when they will be inducing me to have him.  Ok, she finally has it scheduled are you ready........................................................

MAY 30TH!!  We have to be at the hospital......get this..... at 3AM!!  HOLY FREAK that is so so early.  So, now it's the anticipation of waiting until that day comes.  Yikes!!  At least Preston will be a Gemini like his daddy.  Woo-hoo, so I have had his bag and mine packed for the hospital for a week and I could still use some advice on last minute things I may forget so let me know!!!

MOST RECENT PICTURES

Ok, so here are some pictures that were taken this weekend.  First of all I have to praise my friend Angela for the fabulous job she did on my hair.  I love love love it.  I swear every time I go somewhere to get it done, no one ever does it as perfect as her.  So, then Landen wanted to practice his photography skills, so I let him take some pics of Adam and I.  Of course, I would never have posted my face because it's huge.  I am having a difficult time dealing with the fact that pregnancy causes weight gain.  There are a few more of my belly bump at 35 weeks.  Enjoy!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL THE MOMS!!

A Child's Angel

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
So one day he asked God:

They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?

Among the many angels, I chose one for you.
She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.

But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile,
that's enough for me to be happy.

Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.
And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.

And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,
if I don't know the language that men talk?

Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear,
and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.

And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?

Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.
I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?

Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.
But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.

Your angel will always talk to you about me and
will teach you the way for you to come back to me,
even though I will always be next to you.

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,
but voices from earth could already be heard,
and the child in a hurry asked softly:

Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.
Your angel's name is of no importance, you will call your angel: Mommy

EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT #100000000000000000001

Seriously that's what is feels like.  So, Friday midday came and Adam was on his way home and called me to see if he should pick anything up from the grocery store.  So, I told him on the phone that I had this really bad pain on my upper right side below my ribs and it was nothing I felt before.  He said just to stay down and try to eat something and it will probably go away, but that we were not making another trip to the ER because they will just send me home.  So, he convinced me that I was over reacting.  So, when we go to sleep, the pain gets worse and I end up only sleeping probably like 2 hours.  We get up go downstairs and Adam is still convinced that I should just deal with hit because there is nothing they will do.  Finally, at like 1pm I get up go get dressed and tell him I am going whether he goes or not.  I told him he could stay if he wanted to but that I know something is wrong and I felt the urge to go.  So, we get there, I can barely walk into labor and delivery, she checks everything with the baby and says there is nothing they can do in OB and they were going to transfer me over to the ER.  So, when we get to the ER of course Adam makes a fuss because we now have to wait our turn to get back there.  So, we finally get back (only waited 20 min) and the nurse comes in does her thing and when the Dr comes in he is doing his exam and when he presses on my stomach where I was having the pain, I screamed so loud.  He explained where he was pressing is where my Gall Bladder is and he ordered an ultrasound.  Adam was like, "Ok well we are going to be here all night so I am going home to let the dog out and I will come right back."  Yeah right, given his past, he will go home sit on the couch for 30 min watch sports and then come back.  So, I told him the dog could wait but he insisted.  So, I told him to do whatever.  He left, I went back for my ultrasound (which took about 30 min) and when I was done it took about 45 min for the Dr to get the results and he came in to give me the news (might I remind you thats already close to and hour and a half and Adam is still not back).  So, he said I had 4 stones in my gall bladder and the Dr. doesn't want to induce me for another couple of weeks since I am only 34 wks along.  So, he said I would just have to deal with it until then.  So, I get released, by this time Adam is still not back and I leave the hospital because I was already waiting 20 min or so.  I get outside and wait....... and wait.......... finally I see him driving up.  Ok, as most of you know me, of course I am pissed as heck, well does anyone blame me!!  So, I open the car door and he is like, "Ok before you go off I need to tell you what happened."  I was like I am not going to listen to the story he is about to make up to get out of the dog house.  This is like seriously so messed up of him to do.  So, he says that he got pulled over for speeding (because he was trying to rush back to me) and because he didn't have a copy of his registration, insurance or his drivers license, the cop thought he stole the car and made him stand outside the car until he could figure out what was going on.  Of course I asked ok then where is your ticket!!  OH NO TICKET HMMMMM!! So, he said he finally told the cop that his wife is in the hospital and he didn't know whether I was having a baby or going in to have surgery and needed to leave.  So, he apologized and I finally cooled off after 15 minutes or so and was over it.  I tell this story this way because most of you that truly know me, know I am a grudge holding freak!!  I hold grudges seriously forever.  So, the fact that I was able to just say ok, and give him the benefit of the doubt was like graduating an IV league school.  It was so hard.  Since I have been on bed rest I have not been able to even go to church and so the sacrament is delivered and we sit and study Sunday night.  I was reading the Ensign a few months ago and there was a story about a family who had a 7 year old boy (see where this is going) and he was riding his bike in his neighborhood and a drunk driver hit him and killed him.  After this 18 year old kid got convicted and put in jail.  The mother and father of the 7 year old boy forgave him and hugged him before he got taken away in court and told his family they hold no ill feelings and that they had forgave him for what he did.  OK 1st of all that is huge.  I don't know if I could do all that right away, but it did make me realize that I get so upset when people do things to me and it could never hold a candle to what's really important in life, so if I start by forgiving for little things, I would be on my way up instead of pulling myself down.  Moral of this story!!  NEVER LET YOUR HUSBAND LEAVE THE HOSPITAL TO TEND TO HIS STUPID DOG!!  LOL Just kidding!!
