I AM A TOTAL BLONDE....

Okay I just realized something today and it makes me feel really stupid. I am turning 23 this year and not 22. For some odd reason this whole past year I have been telling people that I am only 21. I don't know how I didn't realize this before. I just aged a whole year in one day it seems like. Totally crazy! The really sad part about it all is that my cousin Chris had to have his birthday before it hit me. I was trying to figure out how he was older than me when I KNEW for a fact that he wasn't. Then all the sudden it HIT me... I am 22, and I have been since August of 2008. Thank you Chris for having a birthday, haha.

It needed an update........

Okay I have decided I need to add something else to my blog... it is getting lonely. So here is some random pictures and a little update on how things are going.

Let me think... Well I have hit the 29 weeks mark today. I am getting closer and it is GOING by so fast. I really enjoy feeling my little baby kick me. Sometime it can get a bit annoying, like at night when I am trying to sleep, and the occational jabs to the ribs, bladder and kidneys. Ronnie really thinks it is KEWL when he gets to feel the baby kick. He always gets this shocked look on his face and says "I felt him!" I think Ronnie is really excited to have a new baby in the house, but whishes it was girl. He always is telling me he wants a sister, and I in return tell him that he has to talk to Mom and Dad about that but they are working on it.

The other day I was laying down on the couch and was watching my little one move and kick. It was really neat to see my Belly move UP and DOWN where he was pushing on me. He is quit the active little boy. John says that he is going to be a drummer since he kicks or pushes so hard.

Week 27 I think.... I missed a week and I cant remember which one it was.

Week 28. I don't see much of a difference. Can you??

These are from week 29, or Today. In this one I can see a bit of a difference.

Morgan takes a bit better pictures than John, but shhh... don't tell him that LOL.

John is doing well. He is stuggling with his work a little. This past week with our big Ice and Snow storm, (YAY FINALLY SNOW) he had to miss two days of work because we got stuck at home with NO cars. We had to leave his truck in Nixa, which is about 15 to 20 mins. away, because the roads were so bad he would have never made it home. Then on our way home in my car we got stuck in the ditch twice. The first time we got stuck a tow truck just happened to pass our way and was able to pull us out. He was nice enough to not charge us anything either. THANK YOU! The second time we just couldn't get out, so we ended up leaving my car there in the ditch till a good time that we could pull it out. As we started walking home we were picked up by one of our neighbors, and he was able to get us home. :)

So the next day we stayed at home all day. It was nice to have all that time together, but we are just NOT home bodies. We would rather be out doing something. The following day we were able to get out in the early afternoon, and went to get my car out of the ditch. John tried and tried, but without any luck, he just couldn't get it out. :( Thankfully the guy who lived in the house just across the street had a tractor and was nice enough to pull us out. :)

I am so greatful to the 3 men who helped us without us asking them to, or without anything in return. (We tried to give something in return and they all refused) They were all so willing to help and were a great answer to our prayers. I am very glad that there are people out there that will drop what they are doing just to help out someone who is in need. There needs to be more of them out there. I try to be that kindof person, but I know I need some work in that area.

John was finally able to get to work on Thursday of that week, but was sent home on a Decision Make Leave. Which basically is where his work decides that he needs to be disiplined for missing days at work. We were both so worried that they were just going to fire him, even though he was unable to make it into work due to the weather. The attendance policy at his work is VERY strict. Him being sent home instead of fired was a wonderful answer to our prayers. I know that without faith, he probably would have ended up getting fired.

(sorry I don't have any pictures to show on this topic.)

Now I am just going to put on some random pictures I took of Ryland and me today. I was bored and playing around with my Camera.

SAY CHEESE! I had the zoom like all the way out...

I am running away, haha, and

there is nothing you can do

about it. Thankfully he hasn't

quite mastered the door

opening.

I can't see which one of these pictures is which one.... One of them Ryland decided he wanted to try and grab the camera out of my hand and that is why he is infront of me. The other one is just one of the two of us that actually looked decent since I had the zoom all the way out on the first 5 or so...

Ryland LOVES to play PeekaBoo. I snapped
this picture just as he pulled his hands away
and makes his little BOO noise.

So I guess it is my turn.... TAG YOUR IT!!

I figure since I am on here right now I better do this now or it wont get done for a month or so just like Morgan so here I go...

Prego Pics Finally

Sorry, most of these I took myself. I am a little self conscience about the way I look, and I HATE getting my picture taken.

They all loaded up backwards so the one of me in the blue is from like week 21 and the ones of me in the pink/red shirt are from last week, week 25.

Depending on the shirt I am wearing also makes a big difference in how much I show. Mostly if I wear my normal non-maternity shirts is when you can tell the best.

My Pregnancy update.

I am now starting to get big in the belly and looking Pregnant. It is kewl, crazy, exciting, weird, and so many other things. While I was at a clothing store the other day, I walked past one of their many mirrors, and went wow who is that person. I sometimes still have a hard time with the fact that I am actually pregnant. Plus with it all happening so fast it makes it harder. It feels just like YESTERDAY, I swear, that we had just found out that I was prego. With only 3 1/2 months left to go, I am starting to feel a little unprepared. Yet I am also getting more and more excited mixed with scared. John, I think is a little more excited than I am at times, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that he doesn't actually have to GIVE birth to our baby boy. (No name decided on yet) He is also scared, because he doesn't think he will be a good parent, but really what parent isn't afraid of that. (I get the feeling I have said that before.?)

I am starting to get a little annoyed with the never ending questions that will no doubt continue to be asked, "When are you due?" or "What are you having?"and "Any names picked out?" I think I should start something where if you are pregnant you carry the answers to these questions on a name tag or in some form that people can read it and don't have to ask you those questions. I don't know though, sometimes it is nice to carry on a conversation with someone about your pregnancy too.?

I am not putting any pictures on with this post. I will have to add some later, since I am at work.
