Weekend Update

I have been slacking on the udpates. I have no excuse other than I didn't feel like it. :)

This weekend was awesome! My mom and I went to the Greek Festival then off to see the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra and the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies! I didn't realize this was a fundraiser and wasn't dressed appropriately at all. I thought it was just the big bad voodoo daddies so I dressed for comfort. Oh man did I feel out of place. I also didn't realize that the Orchestra was going to be playing. I thought it was only the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies. Had I known that, I would have worn some nicer clothing. *sighs* Oh well not much you can do now.

First we hit the Greek Festival for some awesome Greek food. I ate some Souvlaki with Pita bread and some yummy Phyllo dough filled with cheese. Heaven on a plate. Mom got me a dozen Kouluria since they are my faves.

We then headed off to Del Mar to watch the Orchestra. It was DMC annual scholarship fundraiser. The orchestra's theme for the night was Dance. They played a lot of great music. They started with the Russian Sailor's dance, then Begin the Beguin, Blue Tango, Staying alive and one other piece I can't remember for the life of me. Arabella was moving around like crazy. I guess she really liked the music. As soon as mom put her hand on my belly, she stopped moving. She just didn't want to move. As soon as mom took her hand off, she started up again. She has yet to move for anyone really other than Nathan.

The second half of the show was the CCSO playing with the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Band. It was so awesome. They played several songs off their newest album. When BBVD started up, Bella was kicking even more. It was so funny. They put on a great show and sounded just like they did on the album. I had a blast. Mom loved it and we got T-shirts.

Now for some stuff about Arabella. She loves her daddy. When I talk to her or try to get her to move, she won't move. When she hears Nathan's voice she goes crazy. Every morning and every night he talks to her and she kicks like crazy. Everyone has tried to get her to move for them and she won't. Mom got her to kick only once after putting a flashlight to my belly. My grandma and aunts haven't felt her move because she doesn't feel like it. I think when she comes out, she will have nothing to do with me. I think she is going to be a big time daddy's girl. When he comes home and says hi to me and gives me a kiss, she starts moving around.

Ollie has gotten used to my belly moving and now just crashes. It's hilarious watching him sleep while bouncing up and down. My whole belly just shakes. I am feeling more and more breathless every day. She has taken to being on my lungs and kicking me in the lungs. OMG it sucks. It's like all of a sudden, all my air just leaves my lungs and I'm gasping for air. It's insane. It makes it difficult to work but I think I can make it the rest of the month. I want to quit at the beginning of December. I am already having a hard time making it through a shift. Nathan and my mom want me to quit. I do too, but the little bit of extra money is helping right now.

My showers are next weekend. My aunt is bringing in the dresser we bought from San Antonio. I have started washing baby clothes and blankies that I have so far. I went and got hangers for all her little clothes. I can't wait to get her room completely set up. We have closed off that room to the cats so that it isn't too big an adjustment when she comes home. When I bring in baby stuff, I leave it in the living room/dining room area for a couple of days. I let them see and smell it, then take it to her room. I will be buying a baby doll for Ollie. I am worried about him being jealous and so I will be giving my attention to the doll starting soon so that he gets used to that idea.

I am getting more and more excited. Seeing all the clothes and blankies already is just awesome. I even have a gorgeous diaper caddy already. We've gotten some pretty nifty things already. I can't wait!
