Almost there

I am about 37 weeks!! Hallelujah! I went to the Dr. on Friday and got the fun check up that everyone loves... Well I'm dilated to a 2 and 80% effaced. So the 2 is not to exciting because I could stay that way for another month but the 80% was something to get my hopes up! I know I shouldn't have my hopes up but I totally do! The last week I have been having more contractions mostly braxton hicks though. Nothing that I can't get rid of after laying down so there not for real. I told everyone I was going to have her at 37 weeks so maybe my mind set really has payed off. haha Jaron leaves to England on Saturday the 27th for 9 days. It would probably take him at least 13 hours to get home if I call him in the middle of the week and say get here now! Most people have thought we were crazy to have him go the whole time with it being so close to my due date. Well what you need to realize is how big of a week it is! Like a lot of money. With having a brand new baby and Dr. bills it would be great to be able to have the extra money. So we are really hoping he will be able to go. For that to be possible Alexis needs to come Monday or Tuesday or wait until March 8th. Children are not convent like that. But we both agree that money is not worth him missing his daughters birth. We are going to see how this weeks goes and what my Dr. says at the visit this week and then decide. So if you have a kid tell me what you did to get yourself dilated. I haven't tried anything crazy yet because I wanted to wait until I hit the official 37 weeks. I am even more uncomfortable being pregnant and retaining tons of water but I'm much more ok with it than I was the last few weeks. I loved loved to complain the last 5 weeks because I'm a onry mess. My 35th week I bawled and had nervous break downs almost everyday. Over what I don't know. I was just a emotional mess. Jaron didn't know what to do with me. I was also so mean to him but he has been so good to me and hasn't been mean back or gotten frustrated with me. His selective hearing has just gotten better. lol But now that I'm getting closer I am more ok with all the annoying pregnancy pains and everything that goes along with is because I know she will be here any day or week. I keep annoying my family to death because every time I get a real contraction I have to call them but then I never get more or have them consistent. All I can think of is this baby! It's crazy! I dream about her and wake up in the middle of the night, on my pee breaks, and just stare at her bassinet and just think soon I'll be waking up to a little cry in there. Crazy I'm excited for that. In a few weeks I'll be like what was I thinking! lol We are finishing up the last of the baby stuff finally! I'm almost there! YEAH!!

My Dyson

I finally gave in and got a Dyson. I have been doing my research and debating for the last few weeks on what vacuum to get. Thanks for all the input on my earlier post. Well I didn't want to spend all the money to get a Dyson. Jaron told me for Valentines day to just get whatever one I wanted. I think I was driving him nuts because I couldn't decide. Super romantic present, but it's all good because it is a kick ass vacuum. I was going to get the refurbished one but this week I was lucky enough to find them on sale. Woo Hoo! Can't beat that so I got the DC 25 with the 5 year warranty. No more buying a new vacuum every year! I used it for the first time today. It was grose to see how dirty my carpets were that I never would've got from my other vacuum. I've only used it for a day but I'm in love with it! I highly recommend it!!

PUPPIES 6 weeks

Roxy's puppies are 6 weeks old. They have gotten so big but really they are her smallest liter she has had. By now they are very mobile and all over the place! These 4 little ones are still quite small and very calm. (Well for puppies) We only have 1 active little girl. She is the brains of the liter. We keep them in a baby pool to keep them out of everything and she is the only one that ventures out into the unknown laundry room. But she gets upset she can't get back in with the rest of them. She was sold for the last week and a half and we just found out yesterday the person that was going to come get her today couldn't get her. So we are now looking for a home for her and the runt as well. Our runt is adorable!! He still fits in the palm of my hand! I am in love with this little guy. I would keep him if I wasn't due in a few weeks. I don't think it's fair to the dog because he would get so much attention the next 4 weeks and then a new baby would take over his place. I just wouldn't have the time to train and give him what he needs. If you or anyone you know wants these darling little puppies let me know!! I am worried if they don't find a home within the next 2 weeks they'll get attached to us and we will to them and that will just make the whole process of them leaving so much harder. We have our Caly that is super cute, sweet and shy! My friend Hydee is giving her a great home next week! And then we have our other little guy which is going to a guy Jaron works with. His ears stand straight up and has the funniest personality! Please contact me if you want to give these dogs a great home!! AKC certified pure breed Yorkshire Terrier, tails docked, dew claws removed, and first set of shots given.

35 weeks

So I'm 35 weeks, and 1 day, but who's really counting... I can not wait to have this baby! I complain a lot! And when I say a lot I really mean it. I have this special gift for complaining! I really don't have any unusual pregnancy or a hard one. It's pretty normal so I don't have anything extra to complain about it. I just do. So sorry for all that always have to listen to me!

I figure if I go 2 more weeks it would be perfect! It would be the week before Jaron goes to England so we don't have to worry the whole time he is there and I will be 37 weeks so the baby should be big and strong enough to come. Wish me luck on this because I'm going to need it! I'm pretty sure I won't go early though. My blood pressure was pretty high for a while and had some crazy braxton hicks a few weeks ago so the Dr. said there was a chance. But my bp went down and braxton hicks are quite normal now. So all hope of going early are gone. Which I should be happy because that means Lexi is probably a healthy little bug! But on my negative note: I am done with all the aches and pains, I feel like someone took me out back and just beat me up most days, I'm done with peeing every 2 seconds, I'm done with looking like a mammoth whale, swelling up like a balloon (I would like to see my ankle bones again), and the worst of all I'm starting to get stretch marks! AGH! Scary! So yes like I said normal stuff to complain about but I'm sick of it.

I'm defiantly ready to be a mom and the non sleep nights. I already am getting up all the time to pee but I have weird sleeping schedules. Like the other night I woke up at 3am and was wide awake. I read for a while, went and hung some shelves in the nursery, played with the puppies and finally went back to sleep at 6. Harley was like what are we doing up?! He's not going to love this baby at first.

I have been trying to not take advantage of the last few weeks of not being parent but it is hard! I've been trying to get some books read, finish the baby stuff I have been working on, and take naps. Me and Jaron thought about going on a last minute trip but couldn't decide where to go with the weather conditions everywhere and going somewhere with a beach is not good because no one wants to see me in a bikini right now. So we decided that was out. If you have any good ideas of what to do before coming a parent I would love the input!!!

I go to the Dr. Friday and hopefully I hear awesome news that I'm dilated to a 4 and 90% effaced! ha ha (Enjoy the pictures I don't really plan on posting anymore of me until the baby comes).

Super Bowl

Yeah my team totally won! Yes, I am really not that into football. The way I choose who is going to win the game is by what they are wearing. If I had it my way I would have the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl. lol I hear they are not very good. But I really like the uniforms and colors. I chose the Saints to win due to there colors of course, they have the juicy symbol on there helmets, and it is Kim Kardashians bf team. Very educated guessing. I was told they were the under dogs so I didn't expect them to win. But 'I actually did watch some of the game this year and it was a really good game. We went to our friends house to watch the game. It was a ton of fun! There was super yummy food!! I'm pretty sure I was eating the whole time! What can I say Lexi was hungry... Over all great game, great friends, and great food can't ask for anything better!

Alexis's baby shower!

I had mine and Alexis's baby shower on Saturday! It was awesome!! I am so lucky to have such great family and friends! I had family come from Vernal, Idaho, St. George, and Las Vegas. I felt special to know that people would come that far to come!! Alexis is spoiled rotten already!! We only have to get a few more big things and that's it! I'm so lucky to be done all shopping. She has so many clothes for the first 3 months of life! The food was amazing!! My mother in law and sister in laws did a awesome job!! Huge Thanks to them! Thank you all for who came! Look how spoiled we were! It was better than Christmas!! Also Roxy would like to thank everyone for the new toys. She thinks they are hers. I keep taking them away but she just doesn't get it.

Vacuums

I am shopping for a new vacuum! It's about time! I am looking for everyones input on what kind to get. Of course I would love a Dyson but I am much to cheap for that. I am just looking for a vacuum that will do the following: work, suck up the stuff my dogs after my dogs come in from outside and roll around on it, and the hose that works with detachable parts. My dogs do not shed. I shed worse than they do. I have the worst luck with vacuums!! Sense I have been married in the 4 1/2 years I have owned: 2 Dirt Devil, Bissel, and a G&E. That is a lot of different vacuums! Especially sense I am not a clean freak and use it every day. So please tell me what you have had and liked or disliked! I am in need of some great suggestions! Thanks!!

Car Expo

Jaron, me and some friends went to the Car Expo Center this weekend. I really like going and seeing all the cars you will never have! I always say I will own this exact car in about 10 years because that's when I could afford it. ha We are also trying to sale our car so it is fun to look at cars for when we do sale it.

I really like the Buick Enclave. I feel really old for wanting a Buick!

A Continental Bentley is my dream car! I keep saying I want this as my midlife crisis car but I doubt it sense it costs more than my house!

I am really hoping to get the Infiniti FX45 when our car sales. We'll see though!

Jaron's 26th Birthday!!!

Jaron turned 26 on Sunday! It is so crazy!! I keep telling him he's old now! I always say about people on TV "yeah he's hot for a old guy." So now I keep telling him that! This was the first time he was home for his birthday in years!! He is always working. I wish I could say we went all out and got him the coolest gift ever. But I didn't. He is picking out a watch that we are getting him but still haven't gotten. We did spend the day together which was great though!! We also had lunch/dinner at his parents house. It was such yummy food. They also got him a helicopter that he had been really wanting!! I'm so glad they got it for him!! He loves playing with it!! He is ordering parts for it even! It is a family tradition to have a cut out cake. I try to keep it up. I got a cupcake book for Christmas so I let him pick what he wanted. Well he picked one of the hardest things to do, a bowling pin. I was able to do it though and I was very proud of myself for it. It was his little bro's birthday 2 days before so we always have cake with him too! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

31 Weeks

Yep you read right I am now 31 weeks pregnant! I've been really bad at taking belly pictures the last 2 months. I didn't take any in December until Christmas and I didn't realize how much I had grown in that month!!! It was a sad shocker! I only have 2 months left but hopefully I don't grow to much more! The baby was measuring large in the 22 week check up with the ultra sound. Now I'm getting my belly measured and the Dr. told me I was 1" smaller than average... I'm like how is this possible I'm huge!! The rest of my body has caught up thanks to the Christmas treats. But so far I have had no stretch marks on my belly!! (knock on wood) The baby is so active!! Some days she moves a little and other days my stomach is a punching bag and you can see it do waves. It's so fun! I enjoy it and feel so much closer to her. I just don't appreciate her kicking my bladder and almost making me pee my pants while I'm in Walmart. lol As far as we know the baby is healthy and my surgery didn't impact her at all! The Dr. told me I need to take it more easy because my braxton hicks can get a little out of control sometimes and start to hurt as well. No nothing serious like bed rest luckily but just nothing strenuous like shoveling and ice picking the driveway. ha I am so ready to be done being pregnant but I need to keep her in just a little bit more to make sure she's healthy. I love all the pregnancy pains, and the waddling around. Jaron thinks it's so funny how I have to walk sometimes. He tells me I look uncomfortable pregnant and I'm like thanks.I also swell up like a balloon almost every night! I rarely wear coats anymore because I'm so hot!! I am feeling in crunch time to get everything done before she gets here! We have been working on the nursery some but I still have so much more to do it!! So hopefully I get it all done in time!!

Off Work

Jaron wasn't in love with my blog on his down time, so here is really what has happened on his last 4 weeks off of work! It has been wonderful!! He has worked at his office some as well. I love seeing him get all dressed up and he's gone for a few hours and then comes home again! It would be awesome if that is how it always was to have my husband home every night! But we also do love how things are with him being able to be home for a week at a time all the time. It will be nice when Alexis comcontres because he'll get so much extra time with her sense he will be gone other weeks. We have already decided that he gets the firsts 2 nights off when he gets home and then he gets to take care of the baby during the night while I get to sleep. During Jaron's time off we have been able to hang out together a ton! It has been amazing. We have hung out with family and friends a lot, seen some good movies, ate some great food, went bowling, watche Jaron's little sister at half time of the Jazz game, worked on the nursery, and I have a 24 hour back massager on hand! Jaron's real favorite thing to do this break is play is new X-Box game, Modern War Fare, for hours on end. It's real fun...

Puppies

Roxy had her puppies last week on January 4, 2010!! She had 2 girls and 2 boys. At first I didn't have much time to check them because Roxy is very protective so we thought we had 4 little girls. Well I found out even boys have little nipples the just don't turn into anything. She has never had any boys before so I was well surprised! Poor Roxy was miserable the last week she was pregnant. She is feeling all back to normal and is loving it! These 4 little puppies are so freakin cute!! They all have there little personalities so already! They are also growing so fast!! Even the little runt! Roxy is such a good mommy! I hope my mom instincts kick in like hers always do when I have my baby. There little eyes haven't opened yet! But I will keep you updated on these cute furry little creatures! We still have 2 boys and 1 girl available if anyone is interested let me know!!

Jaron's down time

Jaron's been having photo shoots with our camera. It is really funny to walk in on him doing this. It isn't funny anymore when he turns the camera on me with no make up on and being as huge as I am right now. The dogs don't mind the extra attention, though! I hope you think the pictures are as funny as I do!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! So last week we started a new year! I'm ready for it!! We have so many exciting things that are going to happen this year!! I'm going to try and make this year a much more positive year! That is my new years resolution and to loose all the baby weight! ha For New Years Even we spent it with our friends eating, playing games and just having a fun! I hope everyone has a wonderful year!
