OWIE!!!

The pain is about a 2.5 on a scale of 10. I feel like the front part of my va-jay-jay bone is coming apart. Seriously. I don't remember that with Caleb. I think Owen is lower than Caleb was. I go on Wednesday to the doctor. Brant's suggestion? Stretch. WHAT?! How do you stretch your pelvic bone? Men. Grow a va-jay-jay and we'll talk.

Owie....that was for you, J! :) Since you wanted a gripie pregnancy post. Here you go. :)

Sam Moon

I love this store. This weekend, I bought my own Valentine present. WE don't do Valentines...so there. But, if I want to feel girlie...that is definitely the place to shop. Jewelry, and handbags, and hairpieces, OH MY!

Needless to say, Dad took Caleb and I to Dallas/Ft. Worth this weekend to get away...that, and he had some tax things to take care of. I got to go to Sam Moon, sans Caleb. I went to several different Motherhood Maternities (which I didn't find ANYTHING that I loved - but that saves money)... We went swimming both Saturday and Sunday MORNING. :) I ate lots of yummy favorite foods, and probably gained like 5 pounds. But, I NEEDED the break. Break from school stress that cumulated on Friday with a student calling me a LIAR. You can call me every other name in the book...but not a liar. THAT kid, by the way, is on a short term Carver stint. Which is good. I would have gone crazy if I had to look at his face one more time. And the high-school-ish drama with certain co-workers is SO retarded. I needed to just get away, relax, and not think about work.

And now we're back. Science competition is on Wednesday, and I am already dreading all of the time I need to put into it. I am already tired. That is sad. Really sad.
Oh well...this will probably be the last year for it. Maybe...depends on who we have leading us next year and where I will be...grade wise. Se la vi!

Scary

My sister went to visit her BF in Colorado. Meaning, she drove from Las Vegas to Colorado. Eight hours, in the snow and ice.

She called yesterday and said she'd been in an accident on the way home. She's fine, but her car was not drivable. The insurance in Vegas is so ridiculous that her coverage is not going to do diddly towards the damage on her car. She had to get a tow home. Five hours. That is crazy!

She skidded on the ice, and rammed into a guard rail. So scary!

But, thank you Jesus...she's okay.

Ha Ha Ha!

I will PROUDLY wear a NY Giants superbowl winner hat with my Cowboys jersey.

All I have to say is Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!!! I am SOOOO glad the Pats lost. I mean...YEAH!!!!!

and yet...go 'Boys!

Survey says...

Who has their momma's big feet?

Who has a big head and a bigger tummy?

And who is the newest "Foster" child?

That's right! It's a boy! Owen (maybe Sterling for the middle name)!
Yeah us!
My cheeks hurt from so much smiling!
Loves to all!

Today

We finally find out, today. Our Owen or Madeline will be decided. Well, I know it's already been decided...but we get to find out. I've really been feeling more and more of the little one. No more thinking it's gas. But, still...I don't feel it as much as I did with Caleb.

I am beyond excited. I can't seem to find the words to express my excitement. Seriously. That is odd.

Until this afternoon, adieu.

Wind and room issue

What the wind blew in...

• Headache.
• LOTS of dust.
• a dry almost three-year-old who is currently "weeping" my carpet in the computer room/new baby room.

About that. Yeah. It's filled with the extra furniture I am too cheap to see or store or throw away. It has pretty painted walls and they are not even slightly babyish. My darling hubby doesn't want to paint over them, "Because they look good." But, that's not fair to baby #2. I have an idea in mind to do the whole cowboy/girl theme. It'd be easy to take either direction. We'll reuse the furniture in Caleb's room (crib, changing table, rocking chair), and stick some of the big kid furniture that has been living in our spare bedroom/computer room into Caleb's room. But, the question is, when? I'm hoping for spring break. My buddy, Sabi, will enlist her bf to help move stuff, since THEY won't let me. And ... I just hope it gets done before baby gets here.

That was so totally random. It's like...I am ADHD and not medicated ... or something.
I had to go back and change my title to match what all I typed.

By the way - going swimming today should be so fun. No male is going with me...meaning I will have to take a cold, wet almost three year old to the car...since he's not allowed into the dressing room. OR, I could just break the rules. Yeah. I think I'll do that. So there.

:P...

Just four more days, and 20 weeks...

Just four more days to find out the sex of our mini-foster.

I am beyond excited!!! That post will be the last post of January. That's a weird thought, too!

Here's a 20 week belly shot.

I couldn't bring myself to show the actual skin part. It's still icky below the belly button, kind of.

In 20 more weeks (or, God willing...less) we'll hold our new baby! WOW!!!

Darn, and Yeah!

Darn?
Yes, we have school. On time. It's not cold enough to not have it on time. We may even have to do a STUPID bus training today. EWWW! And, I was really hoping for some snowy-ish weather. I missed it last year. Brant and I were in Dallas for his brain surgery. (didn't find one, j/k....lol lol lol!)

Yeah?!
I won't be at school!!! Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah (imagine a three-year-old singing it...you can do it!). I will be learning what pod casting is and how to do it at the region center today.

Another Yeah?!
In one week...one more week, we finally get to see our little person and call him/her a him or a her. We are so ready! I think I have started feeling him/her a bit. The sensation is more "on-top" than I remembered. Like not so much to the back (like spine-area) more like belly-button-area. Get the picture?

Wanted:

A can of fruit. Fruit cocktail, peaches, pears. Something. I am having a HUGE craving for fruit. Hmmmm?

Weird!
