Hiccups!

I completely forgot to document everything that happened this weekend!

We toured the hospital, which leaves much to be desired. Our insurance covers TMF, and ETMC. However, it only covers the ETMC in Jacksonville which is NO HELP to us. Needless to say we are stuck with TMF. Which is fine, the new birthing rooms are GREAT and they have great birthing tubs (etmc does not)!!! The thing about TMF is they take most of the area's medicaid patients (etmc doesn't take any, and nothing against medicaid patients my sister was a medicaid patient) so it feels like a baby mill compared to ETMC. You don't seem to get near as much one on one. Although, the staff does seem nice enough and as attentive as they can be with so many patients and it's not like we are going to be spending a week in there (knock on wood) so I'm sure this is crazy prego talk and I won't even notice other people. Wow Amy's right I am selfish lol! The other thing about TMF that does suck is their rooms for after delivery, so I have informed family and friends to just bring lots of flowers and I won't even notice the crown molding coming off in spots!

We found a great turkey costume at Babies R Us that we are going to dress Hadley in for the Cowboys Thanksgiving game. I must say that I'm not looking forward to lugging a two month old and everything he needs to the game, but it is Emily's last year to dance the Thanksgiving game and the last year for it to be held in the old stadium. I just hope I don't get caught nursing on tv lol!

Sunday night Hadley got hiccups around 3am, they were so bad it kept me awake which in turn kept Ryan awake! It was the sweetest thing, although I felt horrible for him because I hate it when I get the hiccups. Lucky for him he won't even remember it!

We are able to see his little body parts protruding from my stomach from time to time! Next Wednesday we go in for our 3d sonogram (it was supposed to be tomorrow but some big meeting came up that Ryan HAS to go to). I can't wait to see him, from all of his other sonogram pictures he looks like a little version of Ryan!

So our old vacuum has been dead for a very long time, however, I just haven't been ready to admit that. Ryan always gives me a hard time because somehow I manage to kill every vacuum we have ever owned! This one was deffinatly not my fault though, I actually traded our new/old one for Amy's at the store because she had lower pile carpet and our old one worked better for that. Now that we have lower pile carpet and hardwood floors I need something better! So while Ryan is out of town today I am going to buy a new vacuum and hopefully he just won't notice (it's not like he ever vacuums)!

I feel like a terriable wife. I woke up this morning with the most unimaginable earache and went to crawl up on the couch where I precided to fall asleep again. Ryan being the amazing husband he is bundled me in blankets and didn't wake me to iron his shirts. So today he's out there working in a horriable wrinkled shirt and its all my fault!

I think that I have gained enough energy to finally shower and go buy myself a vacuum!!!

Glenn Beck

So last night was our big night out we went to see Glenn Beck at The Majestic. I tried really hard to get GREAT tickets because this was something Ryan really really wanted to go to, however, because it was being recorded for a movie and the Governor was going to be there they were all sold out except for the balcony seats. So we get there in plenty of time and got AMAZING parking, of course I have to hit up the bathroom and then we go find our seats. For those of you who may have never been to The Majestic it was built in 1921, and they remodeled it in the 70's, so the balcony seats SUCK!!! Add to that being 30 weeks pregnant and then they really really suck, I had a spring stuck up my butt the entire time! So mercifully intermission comes around (mind you Ryan has been having a blast whereas I've been squirming around in my tiny little seat trying to get comfortable), and I of course have to pee again but was secretly dreading the long line into the ladies room. This is where our big night out started to get perfect! I got to cut in line at the ladies room (this is huge the Ladies line is a cruel daunting line) then I got to cut in front of the line at the snack bar (another huge thing because there were a ton of republican guys waiting to order their mixed drinks) and then an usher comes up to me and ask how many are in my party and if we'd like better seats!!! So she took us to the main floor and we finished the show just 20 rows behind Gov Perry, in the most amazing seats ever compared to the balcony seats! They were huge and they rocked and they didn't have springs going up your butt!!! So all in all it wasn't bad, we got out of there in great time no traffic, it couldn't have gone any better!


Tomorrow is our second birthing class and we are supposed to tour the hospital. I have high expectations of the room I'm going to experience the most pain in my life in! I'm not above pitching a fit if I get stuck in some sucky ass room! I'm also very interested in water birth, although we won't be doing that because I must have an epidural, but it may be nice to spend some of the time in the tub just to relax! I'm also a huge hygiene person and I know the first thing I'm going to want to do afterwards is shower, and of course love on our new little boy!

I'm patiently waiting for Storkland to open so that I can call them and bug them again about when the hell my crib will be here!!! I know its my fault because I had to have a style that they build upon order, but these people should know pregnant people have NO PATIENCE!

Tonight I'm cooking a huge dinner with desert to bribe my FIL into coming over and helping Ryan hang up a new ceiling fan in Hadley's room and perhaps some mini blinds! During which time my MIL and I are going to prove a point and set up our highchair!!!

I think I finally have enough energy to start cleaning!

Its been awhile, we should do this again sometime!

WOW! I can't believe how long it has been since I jotted down all my daily activities!
A little update!
The floors are new and the painting is almost done!
We have sold out all of the store's inventory to a new store opening called Blue Owl Vintage!!! So I am now just a housewife! I couldn't be happier I've made all the bedding, pillows, curtains for Hadley's room!!! Yes we are having a boy and I'm getting HUGE!!! Not much longer to go though!!!

So I'm just laying on the couch watching Secret Lives of Women, Mistresses. These ladies are so pathetic, I never understand why women get involved on any level with married men they are just setting themselves up for disappointment! I'm trying to get up the energy to take a shower and go to the grocery store. I have lots of baking to do before our dinner party at Jason and Cylisa's tonight. I love that about being married! We have gone from each of us having our own little group of friends to sharing the same friends (mostly couples) that we can do things together. Although it was nice at our couple's shower for Ryan to have all his old friends there!

I've been on a mission to find a great lipstick and eyeliner for deliver day, now I know this sounds stupid and vain but you put on an extra 25 pounds and you'll be looking for something to make you feel just a little prettier! I FINALLY found an eyeliner I like, just still needing a great lipstick!

Ryan and I started our birthing classes last Saturday and we went in there thinking we are so prepared; we are just wasting a Saturday WRONG!!!! The teacher is nice however, she is one of those anti drug breathe through the pain kinda people so right off the bat I feel like I'm a horrible person for drugging my baby with zofran and benadryl! Then she plays us this video, mind you she did NOT tell us this video would cover an actual delivery she just told us it would be over your third trimester. So we are watching it and all of a sudden on this huge projector screen here comes a baby crowning. Ryan said he had never seen me so white, I honestly think I stopped breathing. I'm not stupid I know how babies come out, but to see a vag stretched to those proportions and a baby just ripping its way out was more than I can handle. Needless to say I'm now freaked out!!!

My MIL and I went shopping yesterday (I can last a few hours then I'm in need of a long nap!) and I found a bunch of cute jogging suits on sell at New York and Company (always been one of my fav stores!) for $15 bucks so I went a little crazy! I've been lucky so far that I haven't had to buy a lot of maternity clothes, I'm mainly all belly!

I don't know how many women come up to me to solicit their unwanted advice and or opinions over being pregnant during the summer and how miserable I am going to be. Honestly though it hasn't been that bad. I am a little anemic so naturally I'm usually cold (point for me!), also I have all winter to hide under sweatshirts to get my figure back in time for summer (ten points for me!!!).

All the preparations for Hadley's room are almost done!!! I hate the whole hurry up and wait thing that comes with pregnancy! We just want him here so bad!!! We are going to look at baby Halloween costumes this weekend I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Tomorrow night we are going to see Glenn Beck at The Majestic. I'm not to excited but Ryan is so I'll put on my game face!

Okay, I'm off to shower then to the store and its time to make dessert!!!
