it's been awhile...

I have not done this whole blog thing in such a long time! I still get on and read what everyone else is saying, I just don't feel like I really have anything to say! My life is pretty much the same, wake up, go to work, come home, cook, clean, watch tv with Shaun, go to sleep and repeat. We are hoping to break out of that cycle this summer because we are BOTH going stir crazy. Last week Shaun had surgery to remove his gallbladder. The surgery went well, he had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia according to one of the nurses, so we had to stay a little longer, but then we got to come home that night. He was pretty out of it and telling me some crazy stories. Like how he saw a man in the room when his eyes were shut and the man wanted to be his friend, but if he opened his eyes, he was gone. It was pretty funny! That was a long morning for me though, being stuck in a hospital waiting room by myself for hours, then to top it off a social worker came into the waiting room to get a family and I overheard her say, "can you please follow me into this private room over here..." NEVER a good sign to get moved into the private room...I learned that first hand a year and a half ago. Anyway, I decided to pick up some extra money and work summer school this year...it's only a month and I get an entire month extra pay ontop of my normal pay (because I chose to get paid 12 months out of the year instead of just the normal 10 that you work) so I am looking forward to doing some fun stuff next month with Shaun...enjoying our last summer baby free! Speaking of baby, Lincoln has been moving and kicking like CRAZY! He is very shy though, we have so many issues trying to get a sonogram of him...they were worried they were going to have to reschedule me because they didn't know if they would be able to get all his measurements. He does not like when you put your hand on my tummy...he will instantly stop moving and then the hand is removed, resume kicking. Shaun finally got to feel him kick last week...that's how long it has taken to get him to kick while a hand is on the tummy! I totally have one stubborn kid...like father like son! :) I have been busy working on his baby registry...I am really addicted to adding and deleting things and just wanting to go out and buy everything right now on my own! It is so hard to wait this long!!! My house is already overtaken with baby stuff and I know it is just going to get worse...but I cannot wait till Link can actually play and use these things!  I have to take the glucose test next week and I am really dreading it. Not the drinking the medicine or anything, but the sitting and waiting for so long...you can only people watch for so long before getting bored! ;) I cannot believe I am a week shy of being 7 months pregnant...NOTHING has gone wrong in this pregnancy...so sicknesses or ANYTHING and I am really hoping to keep it that way. In fact, as of my last appointment...I have only gained just over 7 pounds this whole time...even though it looks like I have gained 70! I cannot wait to start jogging again and get back to pre-pregnancy size and feeling that good again! Anyway, here is the latest belly shot of me...I try to do them when I can remember because everyone that lives away keeps asking to see what I look like...it is REALLY awkward to take pictures of yourself! lol 

Preggers...

How to tell people you are knocked up
I AM PREGNANT
Pregnancy Questions and Answers
Was it planned?
Not at all...we knew it COULD happen but we were perfectly fine living the way we were with no real responsibilities...until we found out the shock of the year!
What was my reaction?
I do this weird thing where when something is really scary or I am in shock, I laugh. I had THOUGHT I was when we were at a cabin on winter vacation. Shaun had assumed I was because I was 2 weeks late. However, I still cried and wanted to be alone...which was probably really bad because that left Shaun alone too. After a couple days I started to get excited...

How Far Along?
Now I am a happily 20 weeks along!

When is the due date?
September 11 2011...gotta love the date right?!?

Do I want a boy or a girl?
Well before we even knew it was a boy we both wanted a boy. I have so many nephews that I can handle a boy no problem..and he will have tons of playmates. Then I started to tell myself I wanted a girl to dress up and make cute...but I wanted a boy the whole time...and there was NEVER a question with what Shaun wanted...100% boy the entire time

Am I experiencing pregnancy symptoms yet?
I have had a GREAT pregnancy. I didn't get sick, I haven't craved anything...I am just VERY hormonal. I cry at the blink of an eye, which I think Shaun is getting annoyed with. I always tell people that I would have NO idea I was pregnant besides the fact my period ended
Am I happy?
I am scared. I am horrified that I will not be a good mom to my little man. I have dreams everynight that he gets taken away from me because I don't know what to do. During the day, I look at the baby stuff we have and I am so excited knowing that Shaun and I created a life and that we have a family, but I am scared...REALLY REALLY scared

Why am I telling people SO soon?
I actually didn't tell my family till I was long into the pregnancy. My sister found out when I was 10 weeks pregnant and the rest of my family didn't know till I was 17 weeks. I was too scared to tell anyone before then! lol

F*R*I*E*N*D*S

day 26- what do you think about your friends


Seriously I think I have some of the most amazing friends. They make me laugh and smile like no other. Each of them brings out something great within myself and they make me be a better person. They are so fun to be around and no matter what, they are there for me, always and forever. Whenever I talk about my friends I always say, "oh ___ is one of my best friends"...I don't have friends...I have best friends...who are more like family to me than anything else! Simply put, I LOVE MY FRIENDS!

day 23- something you crave for a lot


This one is SUPER easy for me since I am pregnant and all I do is crave! My main things I crave are carrots and Mexican food...mainly chips and salsa. There is ALWAYS carrots and salsa in my fridge...and I have found some creative ways of enjoying my little treats! Other than that, I don't really have any cravings!
 

Being different is good...

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else?!?

Hmm I dont really know what makes me different from everyone else...I am not that unique! I can burp pretty darn loud and they are LONG kinda nasty ones...lol its my lovel trait! I am a VERY stubborn determined person...like if someone tells me I can't do something, you better believe I am going to do EVERYTHING in my power to do it just to prove to them that I can do anything and everything. It puts the fire under my belt and actually ends up helping me out a lot! So yeah, I dont really have anything unique about me...sorry!
