.

I talked to bob about how i was sad about not opening the envelope myself, just me and him, on Christmas. He was understanding and didn't even make faces when i started crying about it, LOL (He never makes any faces or makes fun of me, i don't know why i always expect him too... he's wonderful about it) So he said that he would have mom and dad tape the envelope back up and we would get it from them, so we can open it by ourselves before we get to their house... so it's the best of both i guess.... I'm not the first one to know cause mom and dad do, but oh well, this satisfies me so that's good, hehe.

Just thought i would let you know that we got that worked out. I hate to write sad posts then not let you guys know that I'm not sad anymore!

Also bob just got all the Christmas presents done that he was working on the other day, you know the wooden ones. I can't wait to see em, I'm sure they are great!

Today bob left early to mom and dads so he could work on the toys and left me all alone at home. We had gotten the office pretty much done yesterday. Bob bought the bookshelf i wanted and we put it together and got the room in really good shape, even though everything wasn't totally put up. Well after bob left and after i ate, i got the wanting to go in their and sew... so i thought 'hey I'll make me a maternity dress for Christmas!' So i worked and worked all up until i had to get ready for work.... so ahhh.... the office is in a mess now! I hope bob doesn't yell at me! And i didn't get any other house work done either... didn't fold the cloths or clean the kitchen.... i really was bad and i shouldn't have sewed the whole day, but i was excited and got the thought in my head and it wouldn't go away.... so tomorrow i am off and hopefully i can get all the house work done fast so bob doesn't guff at me.... which i deserve....

Anyways the dress turned out really pretty.... but ehh it's really long... like where I'm stepping on it and normally that would be the easiest thing on earth to fix but the material i used already had this cool finished edge that i wanted to keep.... but since i made it to long i either got to jerry rig it or hem it and take off that natural finished edge.... which i guess i will be what I'll have to do..... :(

Today is Monday, marks 26ks weeks, oh yeah baby! Literally, hehehe
We got up early had pancakes, went to the store to look for buckets for the gifts I'm doing, then headed out to grandma and grandpa's house so bob could make the wooden gifts he's making for the nephews. The wind chill today is -15 or more by now... crazy cold. I'm wearing thick tights, leggings, and two pairs of pants... an under shirt, a long sleeve shirt, a sweater, and two sweat shirts and I'm still a little cold. Mom and dad are gone Christmas shopping.
Baby has been moving a lot, especially when I was watching 'A baby's story' hehehe
Bob is working hard to make the gifts for the boys, freezing off his tooshy! Bob told me this morning that he wanting to take me on a date sometimes this week, and really the only night we can do it is tonight so I'm hoping we will get done early enough to go to a movie :D And early enough so I can go home early enough to get dressed up perdy for bobby, and bobby perdy for me :)
Me and bob are going to leave here soon so we can go home then go to a movie in Lawrence. We are going to go see the new James bond movie, fun fun :) I'm excited! It seems like forever since me and bob have been out on a date! I want movie pop corn baby! And a Pepsi to splurge oh yeah!
Anyways I better go now!

According to online test that go by old wives tales I am:

Congratulations!

I have been miserable this week... not like constantly but for a long time it seems. I came down with a head cold yesterday and it's horrid. Got to runny/stuffy nose thing, sinus headache and a head that feels like a brick... all my joints ache.... feet, thighs, back, neck, arms.... everything. Yesterday it was hard to work cause i felt so bad... ok i closed last night and had to open this morning... got home around 11pm, had to eat before bed then i couldn't sleep for anything. My leg was cramped up and the muscles felt like they were in knots and my back was killing me, plus my sinus', on top of that the baby was going crazy in there!.... it was horrid.
So yeah i'm sitting here and i can't think of something that 'doesn't' hurt... i just want to sleep so bad! But i have 3.5 more hours here at work.

Oh yeah, big news! Mom R stopped by the house to pick up some lowes coupons we had and while she was there we where talking about christmas lists and everything... i said if nothing else fails she can always buy me baby stuff as gifts... she was like 'yeah but we don't know the sex of the baby, so no we can't by you guys anything for the baby' well to make a long story short bob gave mom the evelope that the babies sex in it and said there, now when we open gifts at your house we will know what the sex is by what kind of gifts you buy.
It's kinda a cute idea.... but i'm not really all that happy about it but i didn't want to say to much in front of her, it wasn't her thought or plan, BOBS :P grrr.... i mean on the one hand i like the idea.... but forever i've had it planned that me and bob where going to open it together on christmas eve under the tree, just us too... something really specail and all that... or if he wanted to wait to do infront of the fam, so be it.... but I wanted to be the one to open the evelope.... now mom gets all the fun and excitement of opening the evelope..... which totally bums me out, but there is nothing i can do about it now.... they have already opened it i'm sure which just leaves me depressed..... maybe i'm just being moody cause i feel like crap.... i don't know... i'm just really up set about it.... and it's no ones fault cause i didn't really put my foot down and say 'NO' i'm the momma i'm doing it... but it makes me sad that i didn't cause now i will never get that moment that i wanted with my hubby back again... on our first baby.... i got to stop thinking about it.... i'll just say i'm being to emotions, yeah maybe that's it.

25wks it's just ticking by so fast. It's a little disheartening when one day I'm like 'whoa, look my belly looks so much bigger now' and the very same day someone is like 'wow you are 6 months along? You can't even see a belly really!'.... I'm like …. dang.... and here I was excited about my big belly, lol. Oh well maybe I never will never show very much or maybe all of a sudden my belly will explode! I really would like to have a big belly before this is all over **shrugs** but I'll get what get and be happy with it as long as the baby is just fine.
I did the 'kick count' this morning when I woke up cause the little guy was going crazy, with in 20min he had kicked over 52 times... I don't know if that's a normal kick count or not but I sure thought it was a ton for such a short time. I think it was even less then 20 min. but I rounded up just in case.
I've been doing really good I think on my breakfasts. Umm this morning I had two eggs, english muffin, 3 pieces of bacon and some peaches (I did have a glass of decaf tea though). I've been making myself eggs and toast or pancakes or such every morning, I feel good about myself. But now I feel bad about my dinners, cause the days I work I don't really eat the whole time I'm there sept maybe a brownie or something and then I eat a little but when I get home late at night and bob is already is bed. So I get two good meals and a huge gap then a crappy meal before bed.... yeah not so good! I'm not sure how to fix it though cause I'm usually so busy at work and when I'm not and have time to eat, nothing there sounds good... really the food there hardly ever sounds good.
It's snowing today and looks so cool outside but I was bummed when I saw that next sat it is suppose to be like 55 out and that means snow bye bye... I want a white Christmas!.... but we are traveling to JC on the Tuesday before, so I don't want bad roads... hmmmmm maybe it can snow a ton on Wednesday (Christmas eve) that way it's all white for Christmas... yes yes that sounds good :) **nods**
Oh gosh.... I'm watching a soap opera!!!! What is wrong with me! Am I going to become one of those women? Have a baby, sit and watch soaps in the mornings.... oh gosh I hope not! I'm watching it now cause nothing... I mean NOTHING else is on TV right now and I'm in a crap mood cause bob is working today and I'm working today.... meaning we will not see each other at all today. I go to work right when he gets off and he goes to bed before I get off... so uber sucky.
I was really emotional yesterday cause I was off and he was too.... but he had classes and finals are this week so all day long he worked on homework and I sat there with nothing to do but be sad about the day.... I know he had to do homework but I hated the fact that I hadn't been able to spend time with him since last Wednesday and we finally had a day off together and it felt like we still weren't together even though we where sitting right there by each other. Well tomorrow we have a day off together sorta, he has a class at 3pm but other then that we will be together so I want that day to be perfect! We are suppose to be in the van by 7am to go to our baby appointment.... hopefully the roads will be clear! Ekk.... didn't think about that one. Then we should have some time for shopping tomorrow too, I've got so much I want to get and make for Christmas, and it's in two weeks and we've only got mom and dad pretty much bought for, lol But I've got ideas for everyone so that's great and they shouldn't be to hard to put together.
I want chocolate chip cookies really really bad for some reason all of a sudden... so i'm going to go make some, LOL Tootles!

25 week info on baby:

Among the most prominent changes this week take place in the skin, which gradually becomes thicker and less transparent. It's still wrinkled, as if there is more than he needs, but your baby will literally "grow" into his skin as time passes.


Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. Her weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but she's beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

Oh dears me, i'm 6 months along already? How can this be? It seems like time is going by so fast! At this rate, the baby will be here sooner then i know it... geez and if it keeps going this fast i'll be sending my little one off to college tomorrow or something! Oh no no no.... i won't think about that, i want my baby... and for it to be a baby not all grown up! You know just today i heard about this rare thing where when the baby is born it has a full set of teeth! Weirdness if you tell me... but it's like a deformity or something... something totally unusual but still... it can happen, isn't that weird?

Baby keeps on kicking like crazy. All the things i read told me kicks would get more frequent and they sure have! And i think they'll get even more once i'm in my third trimester.

I love feeling him kick. It's like 'hello there momma!' and i poke him back... although that usually makes me stop, LOL. Oh well, it's fun, hehehe

Yesterday i wasn't feeling so hip. It was like that icky feeling you get inside when you just know you are going to have diarrhea. I didn't actually have any diarrhea but it was this icky weird gasie ickness.... my tummy felt really bad and i didn't want to do anything! I ended up laying on the couch most of the day, dozing on and off. I feel better today thank goodness, although this morning it wanted to hang on a little. I was just glad i could eat, and that i never threw up or anything.

Back pain has been a problem.... lower back pain. Not fun! Sometime it 'boom' hits me. I usually ask bob to try and pop it a little for me, that helps some. Sleeping has been a nightmare! I don't usually like sleeping on my back, so i'm on my sides, then my arms fall asleep, i turn over and that one falls asleep... and i just can't get comfy! Sometimes i haven't slept at all all night long.... so not fare! But out of every two bad days of sleep, i can usually count on at least one good night, so that's a plus. I probably poop myself out so bad not sleep most of the two prier nights, and can't help but sleep (through anything) for a night.... I totally think that's what happens cause usually that one good night of sleep i sleep through EVERYTHING bob can get up, turn the light on... and i'm out, LOL

24wk facts:

Your baby's lungs are working hard so they can survive on their own at birth. You may be surprised to notice that your baby responds to the sound of your voice or even the touch of your hand on your tummy by quieting down or occasionally increasing activity as a way of communicating with you!


Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.

Hello everyone! I wanted a place to unload my mind and get out all the different thoughts going through my head. Hope you will like reading this and getting to know me, my family and most of all, my little one to be!
