I think Nathan is pregnant too!

On days like today, I swear my husband is pregnant too! I got up about an hour ago to go pee, and so did he. We both used to sleep through the whole night together. Now that I am up so is he. I giggled and told him I think he is pregnant or having sympathy urges or something. Poor bastard hasn't slept through a whole night since I have been pregnant. He won't even drink a lot before bed. It is so weird.

So I am having the dreaded groin pains and have now entered my third Trimester! Yaay! We are in the home stretch and I am waaaay too excited for all the pregnancy craziness to stop. You know what I'm talking about. The crazy groin pains, the craziest and most vivid effin dreams I have ever had, the constant going to the bathroom, the clumsiness, my child kicking me in the bladder every 5 minutes...well you get the point. At this point, I can't wait to meet her.

My aunt texted me pictures of her newest project, my shower decorations. It will be butterflies, dragonflies and ladybugs like her room theme. She did some realy pretty free hand cut outs from foam and then is going to embellish them. They are so pretty!

I still have to find another travel system because the one I liked had crappy reviews. It was so adoreable. It had little owls on it and was pretty gender nuetral! Dammit! >.<

Surreal

So I woke up this morning and I was in a great mood. I'm still tired as hell but got more sleep than I have in a while.

Do you ever feel like your life is surreal? Like everything is a dream and you are going to wake up and realize you are really still back in high school or something equally awful? That's how I have been feeling lately. I am happy (deliriously so)with how my life is, but sometimes, I just can't believe I am already 25 and expecting our first child. Hell the only thing I would actually change would be having a better job. That's it. I love my husband and am super stoked about meeting our little one. I can't wait to hold her!

I finally told my mother-in-law about christmas. Since both our families do Christmas on Christmas Eve and Bella might actually be here, we will be spending it at my family's house this year. For the last 6 years, we have done Christmas at his mom's because my family would always change plans or do something that would make us not able to go on Christmas eve. So we did Christmas eve at his family's and Christmas day at mine.

Last night I let her know that were spending Christmas Eve with my family and she hemmed and hawed a little bit. She was saying "well our family is so small, that Nathan isn't here it just won't be the same." Or my favorite "we don't do Christmas on Christmas day" (insert pouting here). Nathan of course said it was only fair since we spent the last 6 years with them, and we would be alternating from now on. I also told my MIL I was the only granddaughter and was missing out of the last few years worth of family pictures and memories. She didn't say anything after that, and I told her we would do what was best for our little family.

I hope Bella does get here before Christmas eve! It would be so awesome to have her here by then!

A chill week!

Heather has been over here all week. A friend of hers she rents a room from was being a douche so she chilled with me. It's awesome having someone to have some down time with. Don't get me wrong, Nathan is great, but when he's not home and I want to talk to someone or just hang out, it was sweet. We are both hardcore home bodies, so we just chilled. She also makes Bella and me very happy by bringing us food when she gets off of work. How awesome is that? I get food and I don't have to leave the house! Wooohoo!

Bella has been a little pain already and kept me up a good part of the week. It's ok though. I love her so much already. I am so excited to meet her. I can't wait until december. It can't come fast enough. She moves so much, and it is so funny to see Ollie give me weird looks when he lays on my stomach and she kicks him. That seems to be his favorite place to sleep.

This week has been chill. If I had been able to get more sleep it owuld have been perfect!

Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired!

So on my birthday I got sick. Pretty awesome huh? Tomorrow will be a whole week with this miserable cold. It hit me really hard. I have had pnuemonia three times and even that wasn't as miserable as this cold. I kept wondering why I felt so horrid. My TIP nesties and my bestie pointed out that I have a supressed immune system due to being preggo. I knew this, but I totally forgot. Being pregnant and sick is seriously the suck! I was scheduled for two days off work that I normally work. If it weren't for that and having 4 straight days off to rest, I wouldn't even be able to move.

I have been sleeping all day long and not doing much around the house. The one day I tried, I felt much worse later on that night and the next day. My hubby has been the best ever and I didn't even cook except the one night I tried. He bought me soup and Orange sherbert! Mmmmm. He also brought me things that were easy to eat and mushy because my sore throat was terrible. I barely spoke at all becuase it hurt so bad.

I'm almost over this hellacious cold. I think a couple more nights of really good sleep will do the trick. I have been taking Sudafed and some cough drops because that's all I really can take. I got my appetite back yesterday and boy was I hungry!

Arabella's kicks have been getting stronger and stronger! Last night Ollie was sleeping on my tummy and she kicked right where he was. So he moves more to my side and later on she kicked him again. It was super hilarious because he just gave me this look. Since I have been sick, he has been extra vigiliant, extra needy, and extra cuddly. Even Leo (who hasn't been as cuddly since I got Ollie) was sleeping on the couch with me.

My friends and family have been really awesome calling and checking on me. Heather finally came over last night because I was bored out of my mind and going stir crazy. She and I stayed up talking and chillin out. She crashed here and I dunno what the plans are for today other than to go up to where we work and eat for some good cheap food. Mmmmm! Now that I have my appetite back, I am going to be eating GOOD solid food!

Hodge Podge

We went to San Antonio for my birthday to just chill and hang with family. It was awesome. We just hung out and had some great food. We went to the movies and a bookstore this past weekend. I got sick on my birthday. I woke up with a cold.

I went in for my 24 week appointment and everything looks good. My Arabella is moving around more. Her movements are starting to feel stronger. Her heartbeat was 150 bpm. I love hearing her heartbeat. I am taking some meds and cough drops for this cold. I haven't been sick since our honeymoon so I guess I can't complain. I miss being able to take dayquil like a mofo. Dayquil is my cure all.

Heather came over last night to steal a book and we sat and talked for a while. I mostly laid on the couch. She had just gotten off of work and was bored so we hung out then I tried going to bed. That was eventful. Between my coughing, congestion and Arabella kicking sleep was impossible. Poor Nathan. I woke him once (with my coughing and sneezing) and asked him if he wanted me to go to another room. He said of course not and snuggled me. Ollie hasn't left my side and slept with me all day yesterday. It was cute.

This is sort of a hodgepodge update so sorry for teh randomness.
