Week 34 Countdown

I am uncomfortable. Gaining weight at a record speed. Can't sleep very well. Patience is starting to wear thin...

How??

This was the scene this morning in Adalie's room. She was out of her crib/toddler bed, on the floor next to her other toddler bed's mattress (for use when other baby gets here so he can have the crib) which was pulled onto the floor, surrounded by toys.

Not really sure how this happened but at least she was asleep and didn't wake us up all night. Although i think she might have tried to wake us up but gave up after realizing we wouldn't budge. She has been waking up around 3 or 4 in the morning to try and come in our room but gets scared because it is so dark in there. I put a little night light in our room last night thinking she would just come and get us if she needed us, but I honestly don't know if she came in or not though. I need to put the gate up in the hall way because Brett thinks she might have ventured out into the living room in the wee hours and who knows what trouble she might get herself into if she is awake all by herself with no parental supervision.

2 Seconds

...is how long it takes for the house to get destroyed with one child, what is it going to be like with two!?!? I am sure it just seems worse to me now since picking up a little candy wrapper often ensues a lot more effort from me now with my big prego belly and aching limbs. I hope to have more energy and be in a lot better shape after baboo gets here soon. The problem I think for me is going to be jumping on that band wagon after a very spoiled pregnancy of sweets and very little activity on my part. But, I remember what it was like to be bigger and I definitely never want to be there again. So, come March I am on my way to a very healthier me and a whole healthier household! Good luck to everyone else out there on their treks to being healthy! I know there are a lot of you out there! Keep it Up!

An Education

I feel like the older I get the dumber I become! I hate being out of school right now and long for the days I can go back!! One of my absolute biggest regrets is not finishing when I had the chance right before and right after Adalie was born... I should have bucked up and just done it! If there is one thing I want my kids to know in life, it is how IMPORTANT and education is and how can I teach that to them without being an example first? Especially with my girls...I want them to have a degree. Something. Brett is such a good example already with school and what you can achieve...I am so proud. I am going back to school. Even if its not until Brett is done with med school over these next 4 to 7 yrs and I am 30+, I am determined I need to go back. You can never learn to much, and sometimes I feel so stupid with little things I forget....especially my spelling which is horrid and my grammar which is slipping away! How sad!! Anywho, that's my rant for the day. I couldn't remember how to spell "wait" for a few minutes today and it made me feel really, really dumb. And then I couldn't remember how to do simple division without the computer calculator close at hand. haha

Past Week

It was wonderful having Brett around so much last week! We didn't really do too much, bu it was fun just hanging out together as a family and doing a little shopping together here and there. It is funny to me that grocery shopping as a couple can turn into a date now a days for us haha. Today he started school though and his long hour days and in February will be even worse when he starts another job, and then POD school will start and that will be a beast too without him here. So, I am trying to just be grateful for anytime I can get with him home and with us! Just to show how much I enjoyed myself with him home a lot for the holidays and school break, I have done 10 loads of laundry between Saturday and Today....taking a break on Sunday of course. I finally had to give in and start because we were running our of G's and Blue jeans and towels. Hahaha. Anywho, the tree has been put away, lights are no longer strung, and now it is time to deep clean the house top to bottom to get ready for Babies arrival soon....6 weeks. I cannot believe I only have six weeks, and that's if we even make it the six weeks I have left which the Dr thinks I won't. We'll see though. I think I might be pretty upset if this baby turns out to be late. LoL

Ringing in The New Year

Well, Happy New Year! Goodbye 2009! It was a fun year with lots of fun happenings, but hello 2010! A lot is going to be happening this year for our family and we are pretty excited/nervous about it all. A baby soon. School starts again next week. Brett is starting a second job for a while (he only gets 20 hrs a wk at BYU...but I am sad to have him gone for 40). We will have a collage graduate in the house in April! A fun family trip planned for Texas in the summer. Adalie will turn 3! We will be moving to Iowa. Brett will start POD school...those are just some of the things I can think of that will be happening in the next 6 mths, but I am sure the year will be full of fun things!

Last night Brett made us a wonderful rib dinner with funeral potatoes and we toasted in the new year with our Sparkling Cider. Adalie didn't stay up though and still went to bed at 9. She was up all day and pretty tuckered out so I didn't think she would make it too long. There is always something about the New Year that's so nice. I think it gives people hope. Everyone feels like they get a new start and it is always a good time to wipe the slate clean and start a new! I like the feeling of starting over and I wish everyone good luck and a Happy New year with all your goals and wishes!! We have some fun family and individual goals to work on ourselves too!! Happy New 2010!!
