I spent Wednesday Painting the baby's room...

The pink wall will actually have stripes of a darker pink on it as well.
Just one shade darker so it will be pretty hard to see

The dresser is the darker pink and the drawers next to it is the lighter.

I had fun that day... It was pretty relaxing to just turn the brain off and paint away!

just stuff

Okay, the last couple of days have been pretty weird for me. First of all, I have been feeling so overwhelmed and stressed about EVERYTHING! Here are a few of them...

1. Jeremiah's job... yes, he works for my dad but his supervisor is my Uncle and they seem to have very different personalities and just can't seem to get along or communicate on any level. Jeremiah is so very unhappy in his position and I hate seeing him unhappy. It makes me angry and stressed and well, mostly angry!

2. I am stressing out about labor and delivery... really bad, probably don't have to go into much detail there.. but still.. pretty worked up about it! I don't like pain and I am worried about all the things that could go wrong. I know that it doesn't do any good to stress about it but I really can't help it!

3. I am also worried that I am going to be the worlds worst mother! I really have no idea what I am doing!

4. I feel like I have nothing ready for the baby to come home and I don't really know what I NEED to have ready to FEEL ready... that wasn't confusing at all... was it??

5. The bishop wants to give me a calling and I don't know how I am going to do it while having a baby as well. He really does have the worst timing in the world!

so anyway, with all this going on I just stayed at home and cried most of the day yesterday! Poor Jeremiah didn't know what to do with me when he got home and I was just laying in the bathtub crying! Then we went to bed and I started all over again... I am doing a little better today but just feel exhausted and empty.

my office

okay, here is documentation of my office. It is pretty sad... very small but I thought that I should show you what I have to work with! :)

Pregnant Belly

Okay, so here is an updated pic of me with my big ole belly :) Everyone keeps telling me that I don't look pregnant..... so do I just look fat then?

Jeremiah started painting the baby's room this past weekend. It started out red so he started out putting a primer coat on it and then discovered that he had not purchased enough of the primer so had to wait until Monday to go back and buy some more. The red showed through the first coat of the primer so he is having to put a second coat on it. We are doing three walls brown and one wall two different colors of pink stripped. I think that it will be very cute. I also have a dresser from my childhood that we are painting the two colors of pink. I will have to post pics when it is all done. That is if I can remember! :) My brain has kind of failed me lately.

Last night we went to Walmart and Jeremiah bought these for the baby... AND he kept clicking the heels together! He is so funny. I think that it is so cute how excited he is for this baby! Since the second ultrasound when we got a second assurance that it really was a girl he has been all about shopping for her.

Ultrasound

So we went and got another Ultrasound done Here are the pics that we got! She is just so darn cute I am excited to see her!

Dixie

Jeremiah called me at about 9:00 this morning to tell me that there was something wrong with his mother. She fell out of her wheel chair last night and hit her head and then this morning she was not talking coherently so John (not her husband, Clyde) called 911 and they took her into the hospital. He has since called and said that the nurse at the hospital told them that it was not a life threatening situation but that they don't know what was wrong at this point. They are going to run some more tests and hopefully figure out what happened.

Wren

okay, I think that we have actually decided on a name for miss thing and it is NONE of the names that I posted about earlier.... drum roll please.... Wren (or Ren.. or Wryn.. or Ryn). I am still trying to find a middle name that sounds good with it though. I do like Marie, Kathryn or Lorraine with it but none of them sound "just perfect". You know?

Yesterday I went through all the clothes that mom and given me that she has collected at garage sales over the last couple of years and sorted them into sizes then went shopping with Val and sorted that stuff into sizes and tried putting some of it away. That is kind of hard to do since we just bought paint for the baby's room and haven't even started in there yet. Plus we don't have a dresser or anything for her yet. I really need to get crackin'! I do have one dresser that was mine as a little girl but it is the wrong color of pink so I need to paint it also. I started a list of stuff that needs to be done and/or purchased before the baby comes and it seems to be a bit overwhelming!!!

Tonight we have another ultrasound, hopefully peanut has turned and is going to be good and smile for her photo shoot!

Ultrasound

Okay, I am posting like crazy today!

Yesterday we had an appointment for a 3D ultrasound at 9:30 a.m. I called Valerie and invited her to come but she didn't want to bring all the kids and couldn't find a sitter for that time of day. So I told her that I would like to take Isabella. I went and picked her up and we all headed over to Rosemark and got back in the room. The technician (Darla) lathered me up with the gel they use and put the sensor thingee on my tummy and immediately said, well this isn't going to be a very productive ultrasound. Miss thing is turned all wrong, she is in the breech position so we couldn't get a good picture of her face. Apparently the anterior wall is in the way and there was not enough fluid between the wall and her face to get a good pic. We were able to get a half decent picture of her chin and lips. Her nose looks HUGE!! We then asked her to check and make sure that it was still a girl :) so she had to poke around to get her to move her legs (oh, her bladder was also full so Darla says "well, with as much as she is holding it right now, she should be really easy to potty train" lets keep our fingers crossed!) and sure enough, she is still a girl! Darla points at some random fuzzy thing on the monitor and says "Labia, Clitoris, Labia". It was cute.

Bella thought that the baby looked kind of weird and when I showed the picture to Isaac he agreed with that assessment and said "are you sure this is the baby you want?" heehee! I don't think we have a choice at this point!

The Mouse!!!

Yesterday I came into work early to get some work done before Jeremiah and I headed out to get a 3D ultrasound. I sat down at my desk and thought that I saw something streak across the floor out from under my desk to behind my filing cabinet. I was kind of freaked out thinking, that really couldn't have been a mouse, could it? (just a side note here, I really really really hate mice! they freak me right out!) So I decided that I would be really brave and look behind the cabinet and see if I could see what had gone back there and if it was a mouse I was just going to leave cause I don't want that kind of stress in my life! :) So, I very cautiously looked behind there and there was nothing there woo hooo I think and continue to work but put my feet up on my chair because I'm still not REALLY convinced that I have seen the end of whatever it is that went streaking in my office. So about 30 minutes later I see the little streaker again and sure enough, it is a little field mouse!! It ran right over to my computer and did some little zig zags while I screamed my fool head off scaring the guy that works in the office next to me. Then it ran off into the main part of the office and I left for the day! SURELY not done with my work yet but unwilling to stick around!

Later, I called Dave and told him that I couldn't work here anymore that these kinds of conditions were unacceptable!!! So, I'm back at work today but there is a mouse trap and D-Con in my office now.

I am still sitting with my feet crossed underneath me though! :)

two garbage candy

I have been meaning to write this down and keep forgetting!

The other day Valerie came over to my house to see my new recliner and brought the kids with her. Isabella asked me if she could have some candy and I told her yes (of course!) and told her she could get it out of the candy drawer herself. Well, there are really two candy drawers at my house, one that she can open easily and one that is really hard to open. So she comes back and tells me that the candy that she wants is not in the drawer she can open. I asked her what kind of candy she wanted that wasn't in there and she says "I want the two garbage candy!" Yeah, she wanted reese's miniature cups! They have two wrappers on them and that is the garbage!! That girl is soooo cute! :)
