47 Days Left!

Let me preface this blog with a small disclaimer. I (this is just my opinion, and does not reflect that of others) do not really think pregnancy has affected me hugely in the mood swing area, but within a few context.

A. If I am hungry, watch out.
B. The mere thought of someone being cruel to an animal, sad animal commercials, and anything where an animal suffers in anyway, instant waterworks.
C. Currently I can't handle birth/baby/Giuliana and Bill shows without tearing up
D. And lastly, I have Road Rage like a Motha....

I think I need to clarify a few things for my fellow road companions ((aka other dimwit drivers)).

First off, let's learn the difference between a yield sign and a stop sign. Yes I am talking to you Granny Gertrude. At a yield sign, you don't actually have to come to a complete stop, or even pretend you are going to! You can really do just as the sign says and YIELD to traffic. Furthermore, I don't give a shit if you fully stop at a stop sign ((unless you are going to hit me?)), I just want you to utilize the yield sign correctly. This mostly urks me at the corner of Azle Ave. while entering 199 (you have your own lane to merge into for goodness' sake)... and yielding from the service road onto Azle Ave. Learn the rules of the road before you drive.

Next. Mr. Redneck Roy, yes, you with your jacked up Ford Excursion. If you try to get over on me one more time with your lift kit and factory wheels (which looks ridiculous by the way), I will go all Elin on your Tiger Wood's ass.

I have always had road rage but I think that the hormones of pregnancy have made my vocabulary exceptionally colorful and creative. I say things that I never even knew my brain had the capacity of thinking of. I can only hope that Finley does not catch on to the plethora of obscene words/gestures that come out of my mouth/body while behind the wheel. I bet Cody finds me so attractive. I need to start curbing this ASAP.

What's new on the baby front?

Well they are still using January 29 as my due date. I am thinking it will be earlier, because according to my calculations, it should be. We shall find out soon enough. I can't believe in a little over 6 weeks my due date will be here. In the last few days it has really hit me that a baby will be entering our life soon. So crazy. I really hope my maternal instincts kick in like everyone says because right now I am FREAKING out a little A LOT!

In other news... I have my certification tests coming up in January. One on the 3-5 and one on 23-26... I am hoping I will make it to the 2nd one, because I really do not want to have to wait until April 4th, for the next English one to begin. I am slightly nervous about the tests, more so the ELA than the English. Hopefully I pass both on the first try since they are both over $100 a piece... boo. If anyone knows of any Junior High/High School's hiring for the 13-14 school year, holla at yo girl!

I think that is about all for now... Here is a 33 week baby bump pic. I was showcasing my long locks! Don't hate!

Cupcakes

Down to the Nitty Gritty

I will be having a baby in 57 days give or take on the due date, there is a great possibility I will be having a baby next month, or I am about 4-5 doctors appointments away from having a babe. Anyway you look at it, Fin is coming in HOT. And, SOON!

Speaking of Hot... WTF is with this weather? It’s atrocious. My grandmother (Mimi), Mom, Holley (MIL), and I all went to a Christmas tour of homes on Sunday in Ryan's Place. Cutest little houses EVER, think Ridglea/TCU area looking houses. Anyways it was hot as balls outside and I was sweating and so uncomfortable in my maternity jeans with that damn band, a cami, and a 3/4 sleeved shirt on. Well we are walking to get our tickets, and of course, my prego body decides it needs to pee, and it meant right then! Well we finally get to the designated area to use the restroom, (like 4 blocks away!) It was this beautiful church in the neighborhood, which was also on the tour. This church was gorgeous! We walk in, and automatically this little deacon wants to give us a tour. He even asked if we had a lot of time, which we thought was a joke. Turns out... it wasn't. He talked about the congregation (is that what its called? he kept calling it the Nave...) area of the church for 45 minutes! Finally I got to pee, then we went on the rest of the tour. Only one of the homes was actually decked out in Christmas gear, which was disappointing, but overall it was a good experience.


Prego body decided to kick in one more time, only this time we were driving to the church and going to use the side entrance ensuring no chatty deacon would hold up the flow. These ill thoughts must have made me a target for one of God's funny little jokes. Well... I sneeze in the car, and if you don't know how awesome pregnancy is, then I will just let you know, sometimes you accidentally pee on yourself. This was one of those instances. Luckily I carry around extra panties whether I am pregnant or not (you never know what kind of shenanigans you will encounter). I go to the restroom... turns out; I already had two pairs of undies on.... one regular, one thong. WTF. Who am I, and how did this happen? No wonder I was a hot, uncomfortable, grumpy, mess during the tour! Thank you prego brain, Thank you!


I really don't have any cool updates on the baby or anything. We did have a 4d scan which only showed us that we have a ornery child. She was so awful the first go around we had to reschedule. She literally likes to fold herself in half, and shove all feet, hands, and anything else she can find in her face, including placenta and umbilical cord. She is a mean little baby. I was really hoping she would take after Cody and be laid back and easy going, but I think she is going to be a carbon copy of yours truly (personality wise). Here is one of the "better" pictures from the second scan.

How far along? 31-32?? weeks-ish ... Is it sad I really can't remember right now?

Maternity clothes? Oh you know it. I hate maternity clothes. Actually I know it is not the clothe's fault. They aren't even that bad... its the body they have to go on. Bleh!

Stretch marks? Oh lord have mercy I found another! Ain't nobody got time for that! (Youtube that, you won't be disappointed!)

Sleep: I feel like I got a whole nights worth of sleep last night, but I had such anxiety caused by a nightmare that involved labor, that I dont feel like I slept a wink.  

Best moment this week: Cody and I (Cody) won a voucher for the Stockyard Station Hotel. I am excited about it. Even though we can't use it right now, I am thinking we can use it for our Anniversary, which will probably be our first real outting Post-Baby!  

Miss Anything? I have really been missing the freedom to have a few drinks lately. It hasnt bothered me since early on, but now I am missing it a bit. Maybe thats because the Dean/Tinney crews like to booze during Holiday's! It's tradition! haha

Movement: Definitely. I love how much the movement has changed. It is like I can feel her whole body move now, rather than just some random kicks, etc.

Food cravings: I'm back on sandwiches, and I have been loving me some lucky charms! I also have been wanting a good chicken strip with some honey mustard lately, which is weird, I never eat Honey Mustard really!?

Anything making you queasy or sick: If I go too long between meals it really affects me now. The day of the tour I think that may have played a roll. As soon as we ate I felt like a new person! 

Labor Signs: Not for a while I hope…

Symptoms: Peeing. The tiredness is back... Growing Belly!

Belly Button in or out? ....must we go there?.... shes half in, half out today.

Wedding rings on or off? On...

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, Happy, Happy (Phil from Duck Dynasty voice)

Looking forward to: Maternity Pics this weekend... Christmas... January. Lots of things coming up.
