My exciting life...

There's nothing quite like having the cops called on you twice in one day because you have an angry tenant who refused to move their stuff out/do their final cleaning check so you fail them and charge them $85 for getting the place cleaned. Oh wait, never mind, I know something a little more exciting...getting pushed by the father of said tenant because you still refuse to do their final check-out. Oh wait, that was David, but it was still exciting. Too bad both calls to the cops resulted in NOTHING happening on their part. If only their threats would result in something. It was a nice try though, I have to admit. Don't you just HATE when managers are the devil because they give you over a week's notice to get something done and you refuse to follow the THOROUGH directions and then the cops won't help you out either? Sometimes you just have to laugh or you'll go insane. ;)

Dear Poking-and-Prodding doctors/nurses,

I'm terrified of you and am SO not looking forward to Wednesday when you start your weekly "inspection" to see how far I'm progressing. I'd rather you left me alone until I'm in utter pain, in the hospital, and BEGGING for an epidural. Until that happens, I'd be much obliged if you kept your hands to yourself. Please oh please don't have Strep B. and be stuck with the penicilin drip. I can't take much more of your testing, blood-drawing, and interferring. Also, unless I'm 10 centimeteres dilated, please don't give me any updates. I'll just get way too excited if I'm dilated at all and will be useless because of anticipation.
In other better news, we MOVE on SATURDAY! Hello more-than-twice the space and a baby room/nursery. And by "we", I actually mean David will be the one moving because I'm too big and pregnant to be lifting or helping with anything (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! I've officially put myself on "maternity leave" whenever there is something I don't want to help with). A new(er) place right before Easter??...Things are definitely looking up. Now if I can just get motivated to finish the pumper pads I started 3 months ago, I'll be much closer to having our little man. Why do I get these crazy ideas in my head? I should have went to Babies R' Us and bought one already ready and assembled for me. Oh well, it will be adorable when I'm done. If not, I'll be running down there last minute on the way to the hospital because I like to procrastinate. Normally I'm not a procrastinator in the slightest, but when I'm nervous about things, I can ignore them for weeks on end. In fact, I'm still in denial about how babies are born. I'm waiting for the stork to arrive on my doorstep next month. ;)

Dear Stretch Marks,

Why do you keep getting bigger, longer, and more red when I lather you in body butter 24-7?? What a crock. Seeing as this is my first baby, I thought you wouldn't show your ugly head until child 2 or 3. Good thing I would never wear a bikini in my life or I would be even more mad. You have made me lose my extremely soft and pleasant baby skin that I have always had. I always loved me skin until you showed up. Thanks a bunch! You hurt and itch and I despise you. Please leave me alone or at least stop multiplying and elongating. Also, take your friend Mr. Heartburn with you when you leave. I could do without both of you.

P.S. really?? heartburn from brownies?? Really??

Dear Maternity clothes,

I don't know if you were supposed to fit all the way until the end of the pregnancy or not but I'm sitting here at almost 8 months and things are getting a little too snug for comfort. My rather large wardrobe that my friend Amy gave me is now severly limited to the few giant shirts that still fit...yes, the same giant shirts that when she first dropped them off I thought to myself "if these EVER fit me I will kill myself." My pants still fit so hopefully they'll last the remaining 5 weeks....make that 2.5 weeks until I'm "full-term" and then I'll be on the treadmill 24-7 until I can get this baby out. I'm sure I'll regret that the second he does come when 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 feedings come around. I figure since I NEVER sleep now anyhow, I might as well get to hug and kiss our little sweetie. Luckily, I ordered a non-crying, sleep-through-the-night newborn ahead of time. :) I've been mostly fine with this last trimester up until lately. I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin. I never understood that saying until I got pregnant. All I do is waddle and sweat and be uncomfortable. Couple that with the fact that I feel like I'm stuck in a giant fat suit and things aren't going so great. Can I just meet my sweet little man yet? He's plenty big now if you ask me. Please oh Please be one of the 5% that come early. I know, wishful thinking.

Color Festival Take 2

We and some friends from RG went to the Color Festival again this weekend. It was a little brisk, but other than that it was a really good time. And this time we actually got to get colors because they weren't sold out like last time so we were happy about that. Afterwards we all got in the hot tub and hung out. It was a nice relaxing day. And I ate my first cheeseburger in 7.5 months and it actually tasted good. Since being pregnant, I have despised the even thought of a hamburger. I guess I've been missing out. I'm trying to live it for the remaining 6 weeks before our little bunting shows up because after that I doubt I'll be seeing anything but the inside of our apartment for weeks....and I can't WAIT!!

At the very begining before we got plastered in colors. Look at that massive belly! :)

2 more months from today our baby is due....

but who's COUNTING?? :)

What's new with us

I have been dreading updating my blog for about 2 weeks. I'm really not sure why, I've just been in a blogging funk lately. Here's what we've been up to...
1-Amy threw me a surprise baby shower a couple weeks ago that was so fun and nice and I was completely SHOCKED! It was my first surprise party ever and I was so grateful for everyone that came and bought little baby X adorable baby gifts. Thank you EVERYONE that came and for the wonderful gifts. We are so grateful. Did I mention that I got this adorable giraffe that makes music/white noise for the baby that I'm OBSESSED with. Step aside Winky (Amy), Mr. Giraffe is the next cool thing. I love playing it for our baby before I go to bed. It's a MUST HAVE.
2-Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays. February and March are what I like to refer to as "Birthday season." It's starts with Melissa's bday and now ends with little Alli's bday. From the beginning of February until half way through March, I'm being stuffed full of sugar and cakes and cheesecakes and brownies. Hard to stay in the recommended weight gain when you don't see fruit or veggies for weeks on end. I had a great bday again this year. It was pretty low key and just what I wanted. We went to eat at Carrabbas (all-time favorite restaurant) and then Costco cheesecake afterwards while we watched my new Snow White.
3-Crazy nights at Roman(ce) Gardens. Last night on our way back from our birthing class (which I love, love, love BTW), we got a call from one of our tenants telling us there was a crazy naked guy in the hot tub. AWESOME! We asked if anyone had called the cops yet, but apparently everyone was too scared. We were about to call ourselves, when we got another call saying the cops had just arrived and were waiting to talk to us. We hurried home as quick as we could and the cops start asking us if we know how this guy was because he was claiming to be the owner of Roman Gardens. I said, "Yeah, too bad the owner lives in California and is NOT this guy!" Eveyrone from the complex was unconspicuously watching the high action outside, huddled in groups whispering because this is the ONLY action Provo ever sees. It took 5 cops to finally convince him to leave and take him away because he was certifiably NUTS. The cops told us he just got out of jail 2 days ago. That's the most excitement RG has seen since the pool turned a horrible shade of green. I love my job! ha
