I am thankful for the Weekend!

My title says it all... I am so tired! I don't think that I could have made it through one more week day. As thankful as I am for the weekend.... I hate that it is sooo short! But weekend... I will certainly enjoy you while you are hear!

Husband!

Oops I missed a day... We will pretend like today is Thursday! Today I am grateful for my husband. I know I can be a bit crazy, especially during this pregnancy, but he puts up with me so patiently! He loves every part of me... even the part of me that worries over every LITTLE thing (which all seem really big at the time!) He does so many loving things for me everyday that often go unnoticed or even unacknowledged! I am so lucky to have him in my life! Love you Sam!

Belly Pics

Two posts in one day... I am on a role. After talking about the whole conversation between the sub and me, I realized that I better post a picture of me just to prove that I am not that huge! Not yet at least... So here I am at 29 weeks... I am now almost 31!

Being Thankful

Many friends are writing one thing each day that they are thankful for through the month of November. Well, we will see if I can do that. As you can tell I am really good at updating my blog about once every year! So here goes.... Today I am thankful for this little baby growing inside me. Although pregnancy has made me feel like a nervous wreck every day, it is so worth it! I love going to the doctors, minus peeing in the tiny cups (any one else struggle with this, haha!). I just love hearing his heartbeat, and feeling his sometimes painful movements in my belly. Although I have had some rather unusual symptoms/side affects (why don't people tell you everything that could happen as a prego woman?) Even though I am sick of strangers throwing in their two-sense -- Example: Sub at my school asks, "When are you due?" Me: "January 9th" Sub: "Really, you are huge! Do you have diabetes or something" Me: "No, and I have only gained 18 pounds so I guess I was just fat to begin with!" Uh people make me angry! Oh well! It is all worth it! I already love my baby Jackson (who is not name after Michael Jackson like many of my students think) more than anything in the world. I can't beleive Sam and I created this little guy and he is part of both of us! I can't wait to see what he looks like, hold him in my arms, and just love him to pieces (well I can wait till January, ok Jackson, your little scare in September was not funny! You just stay in their and grow till at least December 27th!) So today, I am most grateful for my little baby!

New Hobby

So I have been wanting to start a new hobby, but it requires a rather expensive purchase! I say I am worth it... so within the year a Canon Rebel XTi will be my new baby!

Christmas

I wanted to post something about our Christmas. It is always a busy, but enjoyable time. We went to Sam's grandma's house on Christmas Eve, then to my parents house, then to Sam's parents house. Christmas morning we woke up nice and early to open presents and then made the rounds again. Keife's, Wolfe's, back home to get ready, Keife's again, and one final, long stop at the Wolfe's. We had a great time altogether and received lots of stuff. Both of our families now own the Wii and lets just say it has consumed our lives!

The Dreaded Malls

One thought.... Does anyone else feel like there is nothing in the malls? My mom and I went shopping today (thanks to my day off-- see post below) and we couldn't find anything! Sam and I are going to have a Christmas Tree with no presents beneath it.... so don't try robbing our house. It won't be worth it!
