Happy or Moody? In the middle. Travis and I have been arguing on and off for no particular reason, and Im just been in a foul mood randomly for no reason...
What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery painted this month! And my Dads wedding and my baby shower next month!
Weekly Wisdom: Love every second of this pregnancy
Milestones: We just made viability this week! Now Judge has a 50-70% chance of surviving outside of the womb. But he had better stay cooking until he is well done!

Special little drum session with my two favorite guys!

Ok, so last night Travis and I are sitting on the couch right next to each other, and hes a drummer, so quite often he will tap his legs with his hands, and tap his feet on the floor and stuff. Well he was doing this, but he was tapping with one hand on his leg, and one hand on my leg. After about 30 seconds of this... I felt Judge kick, then he kicked again. (I almost always have my hands on my belly when Im sitting down, in hopes to catch him moving with my hands- I love feeling him kick my hand) So I told Travis not to stop, and I waited for Judge to move again just to be sure what was happening...And he kept kicking me, and like rolling around. He was grooving in there! So I told Trav "Your son is playing drums with you right now" His eyes lit up. :) It was seriously the sweetest moment of my life so far.

Mommy and Daddy cant wait to meet you Judge Ryan! You are the sweetest, most amazing thing that has ever happened to us. I keep daydreaming of the moment I get to hold you in my arms for the first time, of your Daddy holding you! Oh my gosh! Daddy loves you so much already, he is just going to be in so much awe of you my dear. I keep thinking of what you will look like. For some reason, I keep picturing you with your Dads mouth, eyes, forehead, and cheekbones, but with my nose. So pretty much looking just like your Dad. I think you will probably have his hair also. Dark curly hair. :) I love you so much, and I love feeling you move inside my belly all day long. It is so amazing to me that I have you growing inside me everyday. I love you more and more each day kiddo. *Muah*

Bad start to the day, but good Midwife Appt.

So. Yesterday we were up at DHs work. His cousin was there with us, and two of the other people who work there were there, including the manager. The manager was making the schedule. Asking everyone if they wanted to work this day, or that day and whatnot. I was waiting to hear about DH working on Wednesday, so I could speak up and say that we had a Drs appt. But I didn't hear anything. I had assumed someone else would be working. Well at about midnight last night, DH cousin asks DH "Are you working tomorrow morning, because I think you are scheduled" At that point it was too late to call and ask someone to look at the schedule because they were closed. And usually one of us takes a picture of the schedule because there has been times in the past where the schedule gets changed without notifying people. But no one took one this time. I spoke up and said, I don't think either of you are working, but DHs cousin thought DH was scheduled. OK. Well we had an appt in the morning, so his cousin was going to work at least while we were at the appt, because he had to work that night. But DH was going to come in a relieve him as soon as we were done at the appt. Well come to find out, neither one was scheduled like I had thought, but the manager was scheduled. But not knowing this (and also not knowing that Cousin had already spoken to manager this morning and found out that neither one was scheduled) Manager had texted DH asking him if he could open this morning, not know this, DH texted back "no problem". Because we thought Cousin would still be going in for him. No. Dh woke his cousin up and pretty much he is a lazy freaking asshole and didn't want to go in. KNOWING WE HAD AN APPT TODAY!!! I am so beyond pissed its unreal. Dh and I got into a fight because I was so upset. So as I was taking him to work, we are both crying and upset and yelling at each other. I feel bad that we did that. But I was so angry! I still am! I do not want to see his cousin whatsoever today because I will RIP HIS FREAKING HEAD OFF IF I DO! So Im not even going home at lunch like I normally do. Its just unbelievable that he couldn't or wouldn't do this for us so DH could be with me today. Its not like it was a freaking ultrasound, or a very important appt or anything, but DH likes to be there, and I like him to be there. He likes to ask questions and be involved. I mean this was the first time I had to go alone. I was scared and nervous. Not that I had anything to be nervous about. I just didn't want to be alone. I wanted my honey with me. So his cousin was up as we were leaving the house, he wasn't even still sleeping. He was in the bathroom and stuff. So before we left he could have spoken up and said, oh wait, I will go ahead and go. My appt was so short too! He wouldn't even have had to been there very long. Just maybe an hour. I was literally in the office, 25 mins. that's all. That's with checking in, getting blood pressure and weight taken, and peeing in a cup, and speaking to midwife, and listening to baby boys heartbeat.

Speaking of weight. So this pregnancy... I have gained 30 lbs total. My midwife didn't mention anything about this, so she must not be too concerned. But I wish I had remembered to ask her about it. Oh well!

We have our glucose testing next appt! Yay! Not. :) It will be fine though. Im sure. As long as I have my hubby with me...

Hubby's homecoming

So.... he made it home fine! He made it back around 4:30 am. I told him to wake me up when he got home. And he did. We were fine, at first. We kissed, I hugged his neck, and talked to him a little while. Well earlier that night he had asked me to go out and find something to fix the car with. ??? Apparently they noticed two small burn marks in the backseat of the car (it was a rental car) and he didn't want to get charged with it, so he wanted to try to "fix it"/Cover it up. I went to autozone and got his fabric fixer-upper thing. ANYWAYS, long story short he was going to do it that night, and I guess I might have sighed a little too loud (I wanted him to come to bed. I knew he was tired) and he says "What? You don't want me to use it?" I told him " I did not say that did I?" and it all went down hill from there. We had a fight (and his cousin and friend was right there in the living room) He was an ass to me, and I was a bitch to him. I felt bad, but I hadn't seen him in so long, and then he comes home and gets mad at me for stupid crap. I cant handle it right now. I used to be able to put up with that before I was pregnant. There are very few things that I can handle right now, and that is not one of them. Something so stupid and petty and hes going to get angry. No. I wasn't ok with it. So anyways. We actually ended up making up. AND making LOVE. :) It was nice. We hadn't done that in a while. So anyways. Yesterday I ended up taking off work, because I just could leave my honey laying in bed. After I had been away from him for almost a week. So I called in, crawled back in bed, and fell back asleep. It was a pretty good day. We went and ate, rented a movie, and had some friends over. Im pretty tired today though because I didn't go to bed until late. But all in all, it was a good time with my honey I missed so much. I am glad he is home safely, and that he had a great time.
