Just an update

SO much has happened since I last posted.

1 We moved to Modesto. Everything worked out amazingly! We got all of our stuff(minus the microwave) up there. And I stayed for a week. I love it up there already! We had some great helpers. So many of our friends made the drive to help us unpack. Which was greatly appreciated. We even had friends who stayed for 2 nights to help get everything put away. Which was great since I wasn't really allowed to do much.

2 I went to the hospital because I was having contractions. Thankfully they were able to stop them. I am dilated. So I was put on bed rest for a week. Told to drink lost of water and just relax. Which was kind of impossible because this was about 5 days before the move. I am still not suppose to be doing much, mainly just relaxing and letting this baby cook.

3 I am now down in Fresno again living with my parents. The arrangement is that Ben is in Modesto during the week. And that he is driving down on the weekends to be with me. This is the first week of the arrangement and I already hate it! Lets face it..I can no longer reach or even see my toes. It is now harder to put on pants. And I feel like I am smuggling a watermelon. All of these feelings make it hard to be away from the one person who can make all of these things seem so small.

Well I believe that is all that is new with us. Baby Boy is getting bigger by the day. He has started to do this thing where he will push his foot against my side and there is a nice big bulge. I just love all his little movements. I am very excited that in a few weeks I will get to watch him move around in my arms!!

Moving...

SO we are moving to Modesto.....Saturday!

Which wouldn't be so scary if we had a couple weeks notice. Try about a week. I am not complaining because my husband is doing what he needs to do and I completely support him. 100%! NO ifs ands or buts about it!

So for those of who don't there is a Home Instead in Modesto that Ben's parents own. And Wednesday they were given news that one of their employees would be going a different way. Which meant that we needed to be up there sooner then later. Now I could have thrown a huge fit and said forget it. But in all of that where would the support for my Husband who has been kind enough to work so I can stay home with our baby. There is no need for tantrums..we are moving sooner then we thought. Which means that Ben will be in Modesto and I will be in Fresno. Living with my parents. I love my parents but that is gonna be hard for me since I have been living on my own for almost 2 years. But I will be heading up to Modesto after Hunter comes.

FUN! But really everything has worked out perfectly so I know this is what we need to do. We found an apartment in 1 day and the next day we had the holding deposit and application in. Its a great place with tons of the things we have wanted. Well things I have wanted like and open kitchen so if Hunter is in the living room I can see him. And 2 bathrooms! I am very excited about that. Plus all the apartments come with a stackable washer and dryer at no extra cost. So thats exciting.

All in all its been a busy week and its gonna stay busy till next Sunday!

My favorite things...

So I was up late one night this week... ok lets be honest its like every night. I may go to bed around ten but by about 3 my body has decided it is done laying down. I blame it on the huge basketball in my midsection. But its my favorite! Anyways I was having a hard time sleeping and I came out and an old Oprah show was on. I love Oprah! ha there I admitted it! And of course it had some of her favorite things on it. So it made me start thinking what are some of my favorite things. Well they change a lot! But as of right now they include movie, tv, shows, people and food. My mind is completely obsessed with food!! So here we go these are my favorite things.

Dr phil is my favorite thing right now. I am actually watching it right now! He is just so honest and doesnt hide his feelings. He tells people how it is and most of the time I totally agree. It is my guilty pleasure. I admit it!

Ho Hos. Well make that anything hostess. I really like putting them in the freezer! Ah they are so stinking good! It makes me so happy and I actually have some in the freezer right now. This boy loves him some sugar I crave it more then anything else. I try fruit and then an hour later my mind goes to the freezer.

Baby Mama! Lately this movie does not get old for me. I watch it faithfully at least once a week. I love that movie and quote it all the time and laugh my booty off. Ben watched it for the first time last week with me and I am pretty sure he thought I was crazy for loving it so much! I sat there and quoted it the whole time.

Ben. He is such an amazing man. I love him so much. He is so good with all my cravings and so good to help me put on my shoes. And pick something up cause I cant bend over and reach it. And he is so cute when he whispers to my stomach and says this is a conversation between me and Hunter.

My swimming suit. Mainly because when its on it means I get to swimming. And when you are pregnant and it is in the triple digits outside the pool is the one thing that is going to make you comfortable. I have never really been one for a long swim. But the past couple of times I have gone swimming Ben has had to bribe me to get me out of the pool.

Disneyland. Come on now we all saw that coming. Disneyland is by far my favorite place on earth!! I am like a child when we go there. Complete with temper tantrums! And I am so excited that the next time we go our little boy will be with us!

Anything baby boy! Sometimes I just go sit in his room in the rocker and imagine what its gonna be like when he is here. I love holding the clothes we already have. It just makes me so happy and feel closer to him.

So there are my favorite things what are some of yours?

Busy,Busy

Its so hard to keep up with everything these days. I feel like I blink and a whole month is completely gone! I mean how did I get to this point...3 months left before little Hunter should be here. And I feel like in no way am I ready for that! We have a swing,1 pack of diapers, a crib and plenty of 0-3 months and 3 month clothes. So I mean we are on our way.

Glucose test is all done! Woot I mean it was an ordeal but ah! So we had an appointment to do it at 7:20. We got there like 20 minutes early because we werent exactly sure where the office was. Only come to find out its right across the hall from the WIC office I go to. So we get there and they give me the juice you are suppose to drink. And you have 5 minutes to drink it! Its not too bad at first I had the orange, they were all out of the lemon lime which was the one everyone kept telling me to get. The first couple drinks your like I dont understand why so many women complain. Then you get about half way and the sugar amount starts to make you so sick to your stomach. So I finish it, and they wouldnt let me drink water! I was so thirsty! Not to mention I had not eaten anything since the night before so I am so hungry! After the hour was up they took me back and did some blood work. SO glad its all over.

So I am always looking for new shoes to entertain myself. And netflix has such a variety. I recently started watching The Kennedy's. Its only a mini series. But very interesting. You really start to think about the way you look at people and how they really are. Highly recommended if you can handle political documentaries and if you dont get mad easily! I have found myself very angry at a couple of the things that are coming to light.

What do to when you dont feel your best!

Well that has been a common theme in our house lately. Ben just got over,well partially still has this really nasty cough, some type of chest cold. And now I feel horrible and have since Friday. I felt a lot better yesterday and then BAM... I woke up this morning feeling just as horrible as I did on Friday!

So today I am staying in bed. Only getting up when I have to. Because I lack and kind of strength or desire to move. And while Im in bed,drinking more fluids then I think my body can handle, I am going to watch Pride and Prejudice. A staple when I am sick. Always makes me feel better. And look up baby stuff of course. Catch up on some reading. Nap. And dream of going on vacation.

Thats what my thursday looks like. What about yours?

Its a BOY!!!

OK so here is the proof its a BOY!! The area is pointing to his man part.

That little fuzzy thing by his mouth is actually the cord.
He had the hiccups the entire time! It was so cute to see his little body jump. And to see the heartbeat. So excited to meet this little guy! We are all registered too. Target and Buy Buy Baby. If you havent been there you should!

This week is going to be a good one! We are going to be finding out what a dear little P is! I am so very excited!!! I am ready to know! Friday can not come soon enough!

Ben got home yesterday from convention and he loved it! Lots of very cool things. He couldn't stop talking about it! Im just glad he is home. 4 nights is way to long to sleep well. Its so hard to sleep when he isn't here!!

Well heres to hoping that this week will go by fast!
