| I've been eating Pumpkin Pie for the last three days and I love it!!Happy belated Turkey day to everyone.I actually cooked this year okay I made pumpkin pie and deviled eggs so I was in the kitchen that's a start.My Mom and two little sisters, Morgan and Brooke, came down to see us.My Mom made turkey, green bean casserole (gross), and a bunch of other stuff, I don't know I just ate it.Then we were going to clean up after we ate but a nap sounded better.Have you noticed that the after Thanksgiving sales are getting earlier and earlier every year?I kind of liked it because instead of getting up at 5am, I just have to stay up late, which I prefer.We went to a sale at midnight, but when we got there at 11:30 there was a line of 300 plus people already.It's amazing what people will do to be one of the first 500 customers so they can get $10 off a purchase of $20 or more.I heard one woman behind me saying that she really wanted to do something about the people that were cutting in line but she was on probation and didn't want to go back to jail.We deicide at that point to move away from the convict and cut ahead in line.I told Brooke to run up to where the carts were by the front of the line and of course then we had to go get her which meant we were right by the door to get into the store so we just walked in.I never realized that even in a large store if you put 500 people in it, it gets really hot, really fast but I had to get a pair of ugg boots, yes I know I'm a little slow to jump on this trend but whatever.I was even prepared to fake labor pains if need be.But when we got to the boots there was no one else there!Which surprised me because Morgan and I each got boots that with all the sales came to $30 then we both had $10 off coupons.Now I can stop stealing Jon's to wear.Overall I think the night was a success.We got home at 1am and slept but I guess my mom couldn't get all those great deals out of her head because she and Brooke got up at 6am and went to a couple more stores.I finished Piper's room finally.I wanted butterflies on her walls but I can't be around the paint fumes, my prays were answered in the form of sticker wall things that you can put on the walls and then take off when ever and it won't hurt the paint.So my Mom, Brooke and I went to town sticking flowers and butterflies all over Pipe's walls.I'm not sure how Jon and I came to the butterfly theme of her room but from what I've seen it looks like butterflies are the cool baby trend this year since 80% of the crib stuff at Babies R Us is butterfly and bugs.Even though she is coming after x-mas, we set up a pink four foot tree in her room.I figured I set it up now because next year she'll be crawling and stuff and that poor tree doesn't have a chance in hell.I just realized that I'm now 8 months!!And everything is moving so fast!It's my birthday then Christmas, then New Years, then a babyyikes!I've heard that in the last couple months that some women have really vivid nightmares and thank my luck starts, I'm one of them.Last night it was zombies and I couldn't found Jon.Not to long ago I had a really bad nightmare where Jon left and I woke up freaking out.I know he won't leave me though, he is just as excited as I am about Piper and he's going to be a great dad.I know these dreams?are just my fears about labor and no one being there when I have Piper.I want Jon to be the first one to hold her because I've been bonding with her the whole nine months and he can only feel her when she's not being stubborn and moves when his hand is on my tummy and plus I want to see him hold her and then look up with that 'what do I do now?' look on his face.Last time I was home I found the outfit I came home from the hospital in, I want her to wear it home too.I kidnapped one of my old stuff animals.I can't remember her name but it's a pink bunny that has stars all over her that glow in the dark.I could have grabbed Rocks the dog but I don't think he would make it through another kid.His tail and nose are falling off and he is full of rocks.I remember one day at the babysitters a large hole showed up on the back of his neck for some reason and some of the stuff inside him fall out, it wasn't stuffing it feels weird like one of those rice pillows so I couldn't' leave him that way and I found that big rocks fit perfectly into the hole, then someone sewed him up and every since then his name has been Rocks because he's full of rocks.I also had Teddyhe's a teddy bear.My sister Brooke is in charge of taking care of Rocks and Teddy.We also have the stuffed animal Jon loved when he was little.I can't wait to see what toy is going to be her favorite.I'm now 8 months (I can't remember if I said that already) Piper has found my kidney and ribs!Usually I'm the one that has the hiccups but she's been getting them alot lately.Piper is now 15 inches long and about three and a half pounds.I have started seeing the doctor every two weeks, pretty soon I'll have to start see him every week.I just found out from my mom that all of us kids came a week early.So that could be a family trend that we have going.I was suppose to come on Dec. 14 but I came the 8th.I still haven't gained alot of weight.95% of all the weight I've gained is all the stuff Piper needs and the rest is in my butt!I've been working on my butt though.I can't do 90% of my workout anymore but I can still do some leg and butt workout moves and I'm still working on my arms.I only workout for like 15 minutes a day so it's not like I'm running a 5K.I'm getting more tired too!back to napping.As of right now I plan on going all natural, which means no pain medication what so ever but then again in hour number 8 I may change my mind a little.I know I can do it but of course like every pregnant woman I'm worried about the possibility of things going wrong but I know that nothing is going to go wrong but if it came down to a choice of me or her, I going to tell them to save her.People may tell me but you can have another baby, yes I know I can have more kids but I can never have another Piper Addison Dalton.She has a name, she has a heart beat, her room is ready and do you know how much that crib was?Jon can't fit into it, so Piper has no choice but to come out healthy and pretty of course, but healthy is the main thing.I've had baby on the brain very since I found out that the birth control shot sucks and I was pregnant.So I would rather die then have her taken away.Now I understand why people are always get attacked by bears for getting in between her and her cubs.With my family I'm the same way, especially with my little sisters.If you want to see my bad side mess with my little sisters, if you want to see me kill someone have them mess with my little girl.I think by now I've heard every wives' tale out there about pregnancy but if you have one I haven't heardkeep it to yourself.Because I'm more likely to walk away then to listen to you.I'm eating healthy and drinking a crap load of water a day, I'm taking my prenatal multi-vitamins every morning, I'm walking, when I'm tired I rest, now that she can hear I change the radio station when a not so clean and proper song comes on, I'm reading to her and instead of Court TV and reality shows, I'm watching educational stuff and playing her music box for her.I think I'm even going to make flash cards with educational stuff on them and read those to her because that can help her learn easier later in life.And I've been trying to stay positive and find things to do that make me happy and not be stressed out over things because there was a study done that said that could effect her personality.So I don't need to hear any old wives' tales because I think I'm doing a great job already and she's not even here yet. |
