Oh week 29...

So I have just wrapped up my 28th week of being pregnant... Scary and according to 'The Bump' I have 77 days until this little person is going to make it entrance into the world.. I hope this baby knows what it is in for : ) However I am glad this week is over the 3 hour GTT test is behind me and even though I don't know the results I really don't care... If I failed it wouldn't surprise me a bit it just seem how thing have been going and we have being dealing with all sorts of crap so why not that too, but still crossing my fingers for negative. I also managed to pick up a head clod which has been super awesome... my nose hurts so bad and I have been waking up at 5:50 a.m. to start my day because I am so over trying to sleep and poor Joe has to sleep with me... up half the night blowing, coughing, whining and all he wants is a goodnight sleep. I am feeling better today and ready to face my day... I did a ton of Christmas shopping yesterday but I feel that I am not quite done but I still have about 5 more days so we will see. Lucky for me I have only 3 day work week and then it is party time. Lucky for us one party is just a flight of stair away : ) Hopefully the baby will be in a kicking mood this weekend so other people can enjoy the excitement of there first kick of many from this baby... Joe has managed to feel it a couple times. I am not sure he loves it but he needs to know this thing has got a mind of its own and he doesn't have to put up with the baby fighting his underwear band because it is rolled funny. Signing off, Huge I mean Heidi :)

Christmas Spirt... what is that!?!

So as the next holiday approaches I am struggling to be excited... We had plans this year of being in our home and celebrating Christmas, Joe, Morgan, bun in the oven and I. I was getting excited and overwhelmed with decorating the house and starting our traditions... However on that horrible Nov. 20 evening our plans change with some disappointment and I like talking about this less then talking about our wedding plans. I am just one of those people who avoid and refuses to deal with stressful topics. This distraction makes the holiday seem so unexciting and unimportant... I am actually all for skipping Christmas all together but that is not an option but I can put it off as long as possible, which is unlike Heidi... I think I have my sister almost freaked out because I am the planner and she is the procrastinator. However thanks to the mass about of snow no true Christmas shopping happened. So I have about 5 days to get inspired and do all my shopping in one weekend, I have a few ideas of what to get some of our family... it is more useful the fun but living with my parents and the kids makes it easier to see what might be nice to have. The nephews is another story because what do you get little wild boys... Nerf guns... Can 1 year old shoot them? LOL!!! Well here's hoping to a great week minus my Thursday 3 hr GTT test and a weekend that doesn't make me wonder why I even get out of bed.

28 weeks and counting...

Well 28 weeks later and feeling bigger then ever but it is getting closer everyday. 'The bump' website reminded me it is about 84 days before we get to meet this little person... Scary!! I feel like we have so much to do but yet nothing to do being The Raymond refugees in my parents basement. I think the main goal is not to kill one another and find the humor in everything, however I feel like every weekend ends in disappointment. This weekend a drunk husband, 16.5 inches of snow and getting lost picking up said husband during the first 4-8 inches. Oh and topped off with a broken turn signal that just continues clicking faster then when the blinker is on. I have had this issue once before but it is even more annoying this time.

Morgan (the dog) has been enjoying the snow with Sammie (my parents Newfoundland) they run and wrestle in the snow like crazies... it is super cute. However yesterday Morgan was chewing on something in the yard and annoyed that Sammie was trying to fight her. I walked out to grab what she had to bring it in. It ended up being a white mini watering can. I handed her it in side and she grabbed by the handle and ran around trying to find a nice place to chew on it. Clearly it will not be doing much watering ever again... LOL! I think she doesn't mind the new home as she runs down half the stairs and looks to see what is going on. Based on this she decides if she should come down the rest or head back up for trouble.




Our home is looking pretty sad... they have ripped out our gorgeous hardwood floors and we finally received confirmation they are going to pull off the entire roof, trusses and all so it will be interesting to see how that goes will all the snow and mother nature going on in MN.

Cookie day 2010

Well I have survived another cookie day since I met my husband. This is basically a day we get together with my husbands mom, grandma, step-sister and some times sister to spend all day baking Christmas cookies. This year we made 18 different kinds of cookies, this year I was not able to join in on the mass amounts of adult beverages (wine and captain, diets) which was fine except the last few weeks all I have been thinking about how good it would feel to escape my life for one evening and just get ridiculously drunk, minus the hangover and chance of giving my child fetal alcohol syndrome... clearly I haven't lost it yet as I know this sound good in my mind but really we all know I would never. Being 27 weeks pregnant made the day just drag on and from being on my feet all day, to my stomach being so hard I could bounce a quarter off of it I am surprised I survived. now I am working on getting in the Christmas spirit even though I am not sure why anymore... I think I am going to lobby for Christmas in July maybe then it will turn out the way we plan.
