My office smells amazing, thanks to the HH! I've been told by a few people, that it's "odd" to celebrate your dating anniversary when you're married... however I don't really care what they think. 10 years is quite an accomplishment, and I think it's important to celebrate everything in life. In fact HH & I tend to make everything into a celebration, so we can throw back a few Jaeger bombs:)
Tomorrow night HH "won" an office party at one of the bars my boss owns. I say "won" because he didn't enter the contest, but instead my boss owes him: HH does a lot for our office, he's our computer genius, and he likes to write articles in our local newspaper ripping our city council...which tends to make my boss happy. Nevermind, I just realized what I'm writing doesn't make sense to anyone & it's not really important, basically HH won a free 1/2 barrel & a party for being cool:)
I've also learned how to play poker, which I have to admit is a lot funner than I thought it would be. I'm not usually one to play cards, games or sports, I just don't have that competitive streak in me. However, I've been finding myself watching poker tournaments on tv, when HH isn't around. Now that is "odd" for me.
I kinda have this fantasy about being the "hot chick" playing poker & making the other players lose their concentration. Does that even happen in real life, or just the movies? Who cares, it's my fantasy & I can do what I want:) Did I ever tell you about the time a friend's wife asked me to play naked Twister? I would've considered it if she was cute, but the bitch looks like a dude:)
It's amazing how much joy a baby can bring into your life. It's also amazing how fast you fall in love with your new life. I completely embrace motherhood & wonder how we became so lucky to have such a healthy pregnancy, a relatively easy labor (still hurt like a mutha%&@) and now we've been blessed with the coolest baby ever.
I smile so much more now, and I love just watching HH with him. He's an extremely loving daddy and husband, and there's nothing sweeter than watching a dad with his baby. (I'm not giving you permission HH, to try & pick up chicks with Braeden:))
Our little guy is almost 7 weeks, which means I had my checkup last week, here's my conversation with my doctor:
DOC: Have you had sex yet? ME: Yes, and it was great! (Doc gives me an odd look)
Of course I meant that everything seemed to be in working order. I then spent the next 20 seconds trying to stutter my way through my explanation. I'm not sure, but I think I was blushing.
I'm now at the stage where any extra weight that hadn't melted off in the first weeks, I now have to work extra hard to lose. I think I'm starting South Beach for New Year's. Of course I'll bend the rules a bit and make my own version, so that I can enjoy a nice frosty mug-o-beer. MMMM. I love beer, and I have missed it so.
I've also been back to work since a week after Braeden was born. (Please no one yell at me, my family & friends have already done that.) I've only been working part-time, but my boss just depends on me too much to make that place run. I didn't mean for that to sound conceited, I just know I have a lot of work cut out for me when I go back fulltime. I think at one time, I said I wouldn't bitch about work...so I'm over it.
We're going gambling this weekend to celebrate my sister's 30th birthday, so keep your fingers crossed that we win big, momma needs a new pair of shoes.
I feel like I could write forever since it's been a long time since my last post, but I won't. I can't say if I'll write again soon, I'm sure you all understand how much time goes into being a parent.
My doctor appointment went very well this week. My doc said I'm 50% effaced & starting to dilate. He told me to make an appt for next week, but said he wouldn't be suprised if I had the baby before then! Needless to say, I'm kinda freaking out. In a good way, of course, but I'm pretty nervous. Strange things are starting to happen, so now it's just a matter of figuring out when to call the doctor, or when to head to the hospital. Crazy. I probably won't write much for a while, so I'll leave it up to HH to update anyone on how things are going! Wish us luck!!!!!
Thanks to all of you for your well wishes. I haven't had much time to write lately, I've been relentlessly searching the internet for ways to speed up labor, what to expect, how to prepare, blah blah blah. Our doctor informed us the baby has "dropped," and that's about it...so I'm open to any suggestions to speed things up, if anyone cares to leave them!
I 'm going North of San Francisco into the cleaner air...those are the words of Mason Jennings, and I wish they were true for me. I can't wait to take a road trip with our little guy, and I've always wanted to see California.
I want to make sure Braeden is able to experience so many different things in life. I want him to be creative, I hope he loves to write, I want him to have passion for things in life besides watching TV. I want him to travel and see the world. I hope he's just like his Dad, and devoted to his family. I hope he has an endless enthusiasm to learn new things. I hope that he'll be known to be a caring, respectful & funny guy.
I guess it is true that you always want better for your kids than for yourself. I am so anxious & excited to start this new stage in our lives together. I know that it will be a challenge at times, but I just pray that we can instill the best values in our little man.
If you haven't noticed, I'm feeling a little more emotional than normal. With only 4 weeks to go, my mind is on overload. I can't believe we're going to be parents. Holy Crap. I'm ready.
Out of 24 pictures this is the only one that looks slightly normal. In this photo I'm 34 weeks pregnant. I am so anxious to have this baby. Not only so I get my body back & stop ripping ass in my sleep....(thanx to HH for letting me & everyone else know that I do that...) Actually, it was quite funny:)
But seriously, I just want to reach my feet to paint my toes, or get off the couch without moaning & groaning with all these new aches & pains. I'm glad the first 2 trimesters were pretty easy, now we just have 6 weeks to get through.
Since we were just writing about fav. 80's shows, did anyone hear about Screech's sex tape? EWWWWWW for a number of reasons. First of all, how is a dirty sanchez sexy? PUKE. GROSS. and how is a Screech sexy? PUKE. GROSS. And that's about all I'm gonna say about that, it's making me nauseous.
HH had a great idea in writing about 80's TV shows, so here is my list & why I liked them:
Growing Pains: Mike Seaver, Boner & Eddie...what a great combination. Not to mention Kirk Cameron was on almost every cover of Teen Beat back then.
Saved By The Bell: Of course I wanted to be like Kelly, and Zack was so cute!
What do you get when you mix a dumbass, a slut & 2 cocky old ladies? Golden Girls, of course!
Married W/Children: Go Polk High!
Who's The Boss: I think I mainly liked it because I met Tony Danza at our mall when I was 7.
Quantum Leap: Can't really say why I liked this show, but I always watched it.
A-Team: Yo Sucka!
MacGuyver: Who else could make a bomb out of a paper clip and duct tape?
Double Dare: Who didn't want to be on this show at one point in time?
Does anyone remember the 80's show with the robot daughter? I think she always wore a red dress with an apron, maybe her name was Vicki????? It's been bugging the hell outta me, & I can't remeber the name.
Some shows I just can't explain why I liked them, but here is a list:
Full House Wonder Years Doogie Howser Perfect Strangers
I hope that brought back a few memories for some of you , and sorry if I bored you to hell, but you could've stopped reading a long time ago!
