Where has the time gone?"

For some reason I haven't been able to keep my blog update. So, here we go. I went to the doctor last Wednesday for another check up. Everything seems to be going good. There was a medical student in for my appointment. Thank goodness it was a girl, because I had to get these spots called Mollescum froze off of my inner thigh. I was excited to find out that I have only gained 17 pounds up to this point. I know I look like I have gained more, but this is way exciting news to me. After the appointment I went with my parents on to Lovelock to my sister Stephanie's basketball game. They lost and so now their season is over.
I decided to take last Friday off of school, so that we could go to one of Jason's friends wedding. I scheduled a massage before we left. It felt so good! We drove to Alamo and stayed the night. The next morning Jason and I went to Vegas, so that Jason could go to the sealing and I wanted to get a car seat stroller travel system. I didn't end up getting the one I wanted, because it is out of stock everywhere. Oh, well Jason says it doesn't matter what the car seat looks like. He wants people to look at our little girl instead. He does have a good point. so instead of only spending a few hours in Vegas, we spent all day. We needed new tires on the car and Jason and to get a quote from three different places to get the best deal. So we finally have new tires, which makes me feel so much better!
We got back to Alamo just in time to go to the reception. It was really nice and the food was good! We stayed there for about an hour and then went back to Jason's parents house. We got up on Sunday and went to church and ate lunch. I think that we finally left around 3:30pm. It was good to see Jason's family and friends, but I am excited to be home and sleep in my own bed!

Baby Shower!

Baby Shower!

I had my baby shower this last Saturday. My friend Tasha put it on for me. I had a good time. We decided to have it at my house so that I didn't have to take all the gifts home from somewhere else. I had a great turn out. There were so many people there. Tash counted around 50! My house was full. We started out with lunch. We had sandwiches, salads, and veggies. I am not a big cake fan, so Tasha made me confetti cupcakes (my favorite). I did not want my shower to drag on, so I set a time limit of 2 hours. It was pretty close to that. I got really cute gifts! I now know what I need to buy, so I am sure Jason is not going to be too excited about that! He told me that I didn't need to buy anything after the baby for at least a couple of weeks! I think he meant clothes! The nursery is almost finished. Jason spent a lot of time on it before the shower. He is a great husband. I am always giving him a honey-do list.


Jeremy and Andrea came down for the weekend. It wasn't too exciting. I did find out that Jason will take his brother out for Mexican food, but not me. I always want to go to eat Mexican and Jason says, "NO". I see where I rank! lol. We also went to the crab feed on Saturday night. I love crab. I ate so much of it that I literally made myself sick. I puked it all back up around 12:30 that night. I was bummed, but I guess little Jaylee just wasn't going to let me enjoy it! Overall it was a great weekend, but now I need to catch up on my sleep!

Basque Dancing

Alright, so Brock is in Basque dancing. It originated in Spain. He had a performance last month and I have never posted about it. I just got the pictures downloaded, so I want to post them. He performed at what they call the Winter Basque Dinner. They serve Basque food and then the kids did their dances. Brock is in the beginning class. It is so fun to watch him partner another girl his age. We had a good time. Here are some pictures!

So much to do!

I finally started to feel a little better on Friday. On Saturday I started to paint Jaylee's room. The base color yellow that I got was terrible, so I had to go and get a different color of paint. I usually love to paint, but it seemed like it took forever to get painted what I did. I am still not finished. The striped wall was way time consuming. I have one more color to paint tonight. I then have to wait for Jason's next day off, so that he can put the bead board up and the trim. I hope that this will take place on Wednesday. I really wanted the room done by Saturday for the baby shower. We will see what happens.
We have been living in our house for two months and I still have a lot to do. There is still trim that needs to be painted and doors. Also my spare room is a disaster. I am going to have to take time to clean it out, so that Jeremy and Andrea can stay in it this weekend. I have so much to do and not enough time to do it in.
I go back to the doctor on Wednesday. I get annoyed with how long I have to wait in the waiting room and then it only take 5 minutes for the check up. I still don't understand why places book so many people around the same time and expect everything to go alright. I would rather them not book so many people to ensure that I wouldn't have to wait so long for my appointment. Enough venting about that. I will update after my appointment.

Why me?

This weekend sucked! I have been sick since Friday. I went to the doctor today and he said that he wasn't sure what was wrong with me. He said it could be allergies or a cold. Let me tell I have had both of these and it doesn't feel like either. Also he was going o prescribe me some cold medicine and he told me to take alieve for my achy body. I looked at him and said, "I don't think I am suppose to have those when I am pregnant." He then proceeded to ask how far along I was. I told him seven months and was a little shocked that he couldn't tell. I definitely look pregnant. Anyway I am staying home again tomorrow to try and get my strength back. It sucks that I had to use 2 sick days, because as it is I don't have enough to cover my maternity leave. Oh, well I guess it will be worth it.
Enough about all the boring stuff. While I was home sick Jason decided to take Brock to Alamo with him on Saturday. This was really good for them to have some bonding time together. They are best buds now!
I was suppose to start painting the baby's room over the weekend, but that didn't happen. I am shooting for this weekend. I still have a lot to do on my house. I have lived here 2 months now and it is still not put together. It is kind of frustrating. I have made a list and hopefully it will all be done before my baby shower. Anyway I hope everyone has a great week!

TV addiction

I am so excited that so many of my reality TV shows are on right now. I love reality TV! Last Monday night my friend Tasha and I decided to have a Bachelor premiere night. I made taco soup and she made dessert. There was 5 or 6 girls there as we watched the first episode of the new Bachelor. It was so fun as we set there and picked our favorites and not so favorites. I picked one of my favorites out right away. I love Melissa! She is so cute and she seems down to earth and not so much drama. Anyway my DVR is so full of shows recording on Monday nights that I had to switch things around, so I could watch all of my shows.

This is my play list:

1. The Bachelor

2. Momma's Boys

3. Superstars of Dance

4. True Beauty

5. The Biggest Loser

6. American Idol

7. Extreme Makeover

I also have several other shows that are not reality TV shows that I watch regularly. I guess I am just making up for all the years that I spent doing homework and working instead of watching TV. I am beginning to wonder if this addiction is healthy or not? Probably no, but I am going to continue watching these addicting shows. Jason can't stand them, except the Biggest Loser, so I have to watch them when he is not around.

Anyway, enough about my TV addiction. I went to the doctor last week and everything is going great. I still feel a lot of pain and pressure on the inside of my legs and lower stomach. Oh, well it is all worth it. I had a close friend this week who was 8 months pregnant and lost her baby. They found a blood clot in her placenta and so the baby wasn't getting any food. The baby died and then she delivered her. I started to cry when I heard about all of this. I feel so bad for her and her family. I know that everything happens for a reason, it is just hard to understand why. I feel so blessed and fortunate that my pregnancy has gone so well and I hope that it continues to.

I finally decided on a crib set for Jaylee's room. I really was set on pink and brown, but then I found this set. I ordered the crib set today, so that I can get paint to match. I am going to put bead board up half way on the walls. I am going to have a striped wall and two solid walls with polka dots on them. I am going to make my polka dots out of vinyl. I hope it turns out the way that I envision it.

I wanted to get a white set, but Jason insisted that we buy a crib last week at Wal Mart after my doctor's appointment. They didn't have any white, so we got a 4 in 1 walnut crib. Now we are trying to find a changing/dresser to match, because they are all out of stock online that match the set. Oh well life goes on!

Happy New Year!

Alright, so I haven't posted in awhile because I was on Christmas break and I don't have the Internet at home yet. So I am finally posting. We had a great break! Jason was off almost the same amount of time that I was. We didn't get hardly anything accomplished on the house. I think that we are both burned out. We took a lot of naps and watched TV. We also spent lots of time playing games. I love to play games, especially card games. My parents gave me a Wii for Christmas and Jason and Brock love to play it. I have only tried out the bowling. I want to get the Wii fit, so I can lose the baby fat after she is born.
Well I went to the doctor on Christmas Eve and everything still looks good. I was bummed to find out that I have to start going every two weeks to the doctor. There was exciting news, I have only gained 12 pounds so far. I feel like I have gained 30! I was way excited when I received that news. So, it looks like Jason has won the battle and we will probably be naming our little girl, Jaylee Ann. I can't believe how much stuff I still need to do before she arrives. I am going to start decorating her room. I want to do it in brown and pink with polka dots and maybe stripes.

I hope that everyone had a great holiday season!
