Finally....the story

So...I'm lazy. Big surprise right ;) I have just taken pictures of my journal in stead of writing it out again. With that said, take no offense please. 

There you have it. To say that Matt and i were blessed is down playing this experience. It was amazing. And wonderful. Everything that a mom could want. Now I just need to stop thinking that I need to do it again....

37 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...so YESTERDAY was the official 37 weeks!!!! So now I'm over 37 weeks:P Not much new and exciting. Just patiently waiting for the baby to get here:) B tells me yesterday, "Mom, I'n sooo esited(excited) for my new sister"! Good buddy! Because your life will be turned upside down:) As will the rest of ours. Anyway. Kristen comes in tonight. It will be nice to have more of a distraction around here for the last few weeks. But that's about all I've got to blab about today. Next Dr's appt is Thursday. Wish me luck:) Till then,

Meg

I really love my son:)

So I have to write this down so I don't forget these precious moments:) We just got home from the grandparents and B asked to borrow Charlotte's Web. I said yes...even though my better judgement wants to say no...because it makes me cry:) Anyway...I just went in to give him his bear and kind of settle him in for a rest...and he says "Mom, he's so cute. Can I have a pig? Can I have a pig Mom?" I don't know why but it just made my heart patter:) This crazy rambunctious hyper active child is still very much an innocent little boy that wants a pig:) Lol...yea... i guess the preggo hormones are on overdrive:)


They are pretty cute though.....maybe we'll talk to Daddy;)

In other daily events. I had my Dr's appt today. I didn't gain any weight on their scales...so that was very exciting. I'm still sealed up like a jam jar though:) I will be 37 weeks on Monday. We'll see how this all pans out. It's really an all new experience considering B's delivery was induced fully and all I remember is super intense contractions. So....I'm walking in the dark here. Oh well. Ok...enough rambling for now. Till thne,

Meg

eventful weekend:)

It's Monday...back to the grind of daily chores:) Matt, B and myself had a good weekend. Matty did some lawn care Saturday morning while B and I puttered in the house. We were going to go to the aquatic center in North Ogden but it was packed....and I'm not too excited about swimming like sardines in a pool that isn't "hot" but neither very refreshing. So,..we decided to go check out Willard Bay instead. It was decent. Definitely better than nothing. Matt kept saying it wasn't like Hawaii water...lol. And in my mind I kept thinking it wasn't like the beaches that are back east. So our roles were reversed...he outwardly complained and I held it in trying to make the best of it :P After swimming we took B to see Ice Age 3. It was cute. He enjoyed himself so that's all that matters:) And after THAT...we headed over to Chris' for some dinner off the bbq. He's getting quite good at working his bbq and producing some "D-lish" food:)

So now it's Monday. Matt's at work, and B and I are home doing our chores. Lol..I get all this motivation after the weekend and tire myself out the rest of the week. Ha! Oh well. I am 36 weeks today and that means only 28 more days to go. Holy moly. :) Well...I need to try and get the son to take a nap. Here's a couple pictures for viewing enjoyment:)


No...I don't let my son watch this stupid show...his grandparents in NH got him this t-shirt and swimming shorts:)




at least one of them is smiling:)

ohhhh donut sticks!

My husband and I were in Wal-mart the other day doing some grocery shopping. We went down the snack cake aisle and were talking about tasty treats...lol. I mentioned to him that I liked donut sticks quite a bit. Fast forward a few days and we need milk...because apparently we should just buy a cow. I don't ever remember going thru milk as much as we have been lately. Probably because I've been wanting to eat nothing but cereal:) Well after I get him to run out to the store, the next morning I get in the fridge and there's a donut stick sitting there:) It's got a cute little note on it. I thought it was really sweet...so I left it in there to perhaps enjoy later. Well later comes and I take this cute little stick out and start thinking about the note. Leave it to a fat pregnant woman to turn something really sweet into an insult... :P I thought to myself "self,...you know you're a fatty when your husband leaves notes on donut sticks"! It made me laugh...all day in fact. But just the same this little thought of kindness made me love Matt more than I already do:) Even if he is a putz:P




And here's the latest fatty pic. I'm at 35 wks and 2 days. My back is really achy today. And I have a Dr's appt at 4. But anyway. Hope everyone has a good day. I will be hiding where it is cool...as it is supposed to be 100 tomorrow and Friday. yuck. So till then,

Meg

Monday funday....

This is what I am doing today...cleaning...yay.


That's about the excitement I've got. Oh and Dr's appt on Wednesday. I get to have my butt played with...please please...don't be jealous:) It's my GBT test. She also mentioned something about "checking" me too. So I guess this is it....let the awesome invading of the personal space begin:) I know...by the time I have the baby I won't care...and I agree. But it still takes some getting used to of having a Dr stick her hand in, a little too far, of a place it doesn't belong:) Lol...I'm glad this post is s personal today:) So other than that...I'm not sure what else the week holds. My MIL said something about me having to help pick blackberries this week. Theya ren't quite ready yet...but should be soon. Ok. Enough talking and wasting precious cleaning time:) Till then,

Meg

whirlwind weekend

Here we go...another horde of pictures:)

Me at 27 wks and 6 days...glamorous I know:) I have a Dr appt tomorrow to get an official result of gestational or not...we'll see.

Uncle Marc/Daddy playing keep away with his kids and mine and the neighbors...they had a good time!

B trying to tackle his Dad...I think he's biting him...lol

lol...the neighbor kid and Alex are the same age...and about teh same hyper level so they had to be playfully separated:)

Here are the two clones together:) I really like this picture.

My MIL's gorgeous peony! And I love the quality that my camera captured!

Mr. B's true form! He loves watermelon

AND chocolate cake! lol.

Marc and Stacie came down for a real quick visit this weekend. We had a really good time. The kids loved our backyard and we loved it also:) Now we need to buy a swingset:) They left tonight for the kids to have their last day at school and make a trip up to Stacie's mom's house. Anyway. We are good here. Matt has lost about 10 lbs since being home and he looks really good:) Buut I am tired from all the excitement...so till then,

Meg

mess of pictures:)

Ok here we go! This is a picture of our finally planted rose bushes. Matt and I planted them last night. I put some miracle grow for rose bushes that's got bone meal in it so I am a little nervous that the neighbors dog might get frisky with them. All was well last night though...so maybe we're good.

This picture is of the wood flower that I did at the neighbors house. I say i did it...but I kind of suck at using tools....I ten to hurt myself:) But I used the sander and helped hold the board while my neighbor cut. I know...don't hurt myself:) lol. She put hers on a stick and then in her front garden area. I didn't think it would look right so...I hung mine on some twine and put it on the front door...voila:) It was alotta fun.

And here is the Magnolia tree that finally found a home! lol...Matt likes that it's in the middle of the yard. "something else to mow around". pfffff!

And here we have a child that was supposed to be taking a nap! We put some balmex on his face last night because it gets really dry. Well apparently he needed some today and took it upon himself to apply it. LOL. It's really really hard to reprimand when he looks like an apache warrior. LOLOLOL.

Last but not least...I guess...is a picture of me at 25 weeks and 6 days. Looking a little pokey:)

So here you have it. The picture update. Hope you enjoy! Till then,

Meg

Preggggoooooo

Hello hello hello! Happy Mother's Day to the Mother's out there! Mine was good! My husband got me a Tiffany bracelet and matching necklace. It was very unexpected and very appreciated. He's the man:) Well at the moment I am in Idaho with the crazies:) It has been fun so far. Stacie and I went to some yard sales and I was able to get a hamper, closet organizer, changing table pad, and a bunch of clothes for the baby. It was pretty exciting. So needless to say my little aveo is going to be more full on the way home than the way up:) Oh well. lol. And here are some new belly pics. I found this iron on transfer and we put it on a t-shirt. And the dress I am wearing was yard sale find for $1.00...brand new with the tag still on it!!! Mind you...if I was by myself I wouldn't have found any of this stuff:) So here...enjoy! Till then,
Meg

lol

So....I saw a link to this picture on the ksl comment board saying "this is how you catch the swine flu". Lol...and I think it's funny and wanted to share:)



On another note...Dr appt went fine. I gained 3 lbs thanks to the week Matt had at home:) My uterus is measuring 23 inches to the top which she said was fine. Baby's heartbeat was good. So it was gooood. So yea. Till the next time,
Meg

for my adoring fans.... :P

Ha! I'm alive. We are all alive and alot happier now that Matty has come home!!!!!!! He came in Friday morning and it has been great. B has really been having fun and is behaving better too. But maybe I just think so because I have someone to share the task with :) Kind of a quick post tonight. Just wanted to share a few pictures. The preggo one is of me today(saturday). And a few random of things growing in my yard. Enjoy!

Mr. Hyde

Well I have successfully completed one week without Matt home. I have to say this has been the toughest week I've had with my son. I'm not sure who this new child is but he better bring back my sweet, helpful, cooperative son. Our days alone and evenings before bed have become something that you would see on Super Nanny. It is really sad and I feel absolutely helpless and clueless on how to deal with him. So this week I have tried Frank's hot sauce....no luck. I've tried lemon juice....but when he asks for it...lol...obviously not a good one. So I have picked up my 1-2-3 Magic book that my Aunt has sent me. I am going to figure him out.
As far as the pregnancy goes, I am feeling better sick-wise. I'm still quite exhausted half the day. If I don't eat a snack by 10 I'm ready to eat a cow. It's quite annoying actually. Being on the verge of passing out isn't fun. lol. My stomach is getting moved upward so I look like a pudgy person. Kills me. I think I will have to buy maternity pants by the time I see Matt again. Ahh fun.
I put this video on here buut I don't know how to rotate it the right way...sorry. anyway. I've got some pictures to show when I get my act together and upload them. lol. So till then,
Meg
