So I was asked.....

WHERE IS YOUR UPDATE????  We'll here it is...   And there it goes...

Nothing to really update yall on or talk about.  My father-in-law in coming over for dinner tomorrow night.  Hopefully, I won't burn anything.  Kent's mom, brother, and sister are all in Florida on a youth trip, and Kent's dad was left at home.  So, we are feeding him tomorrow night.  That means that tomorrow I need to go to the grocery store and pick up a few things, clean the house (nothing major because I did some cleaning today), run by the ATM, and wash clothes.  Then cook supper.  So tomorrow is a full day.  Atleast I will be busy.  I just hope supper is good.  I still don't think Kent's dad is completely comfortable around me.  Reason being is I am still not completely comfortable around him.  LONG STORY!  Nothing bad or anything...just got off to a weird start...lol.  It's sorta funny.  Anywho...that's my update.  Yall enjoy!

Nothing about Nothing

Well, not much to really talk about.  Life here has been boring and non eventful.  Just waiting until Tuesday (July 6th).  Which I swear this week will go by soooo slllloooowwwww!!!!!!!!!!!  Today, I straightened up the house and washed dishes.  I went to my parent's house and tanned...no I didn't tan, tan.  I just stuck my legs in.  IT'S PERFECTLY SAFE!  It's not the radiation that keep pregnant women from tanning it's the rise in body temperature.  So with me only sticking my legs in it doesn't raise my temp.  So please no emails or nasty comments!  Thank you.  So after that I came home and took a shower and waited on Kent to get home.  Once he got home I cooked supper and we ate and talked.  It was nice.  But Kent was so tired.  Lately, he hasn't gotten a good night's sleep.  He will sleep all night but it just isn't good sleep.  Know what I mean?  Anyway, after talking and eating, we went to Wally World to pick up a few things.  Once our mission to WW was done we came home and I talked to my friend Lesli for a bit and now I am here. 

OH!  Let me tell yall!  The baby is finally kicking to where you can look at my stomach and see it move up and down.  So this morning I could feel it moving so I figured I would watch my tummy and see if it moved.  AND IT DID!!!  I was just too excited.  I cried.  It was happy tears though!  So, when Kent got home I thought maybe he could see it too.  So we sat there and watched.  Sure enough it moved.  Kent FINALLY got to see the baby move.  I cried again.  Anyone seeing a pattern there?  Anyway, it was just precious! 

Well, that's my day!  Yall be good and I'll talk with yall later!

Random Pictures

Well, as I promised...here are my random pics!  Enjoy!

Oh how I wish I was at the beach...

Ahhh...to be at the beach right now. BeachCam...  Only 20 more days until I will be.  Kent, myself, and two friends are leaving for PCB (Panama City Beach) July 18th.  We are coming back the 21st.  We are staying at the Summit.Summit Condo Resort  I can't wait.  Even Kent is really excited about it.  Usually it takes a lot for him to get excited about something, but he has really been looking forward to it.  He keeps telling me, "only ___ more days until we get to go to the beach".  I really hope we have a good time.  Only thing really planned so far is to rent a boat and take it out to Shell Island.shell island boat rentals  The rest is up in the air.  My parent's will also be down at PCB while we are there.  But they are leaving to go to PCB the 16th of July and coming back the 19th.  Hopefully, we will get to eat with them one night and do something.  Can you tell I'm excited?  I'm hoping for good weather.  It would really stink if it rained while we were there.  We are also going with Kent's family (mom, dad, brother, sister, granny, and pawpaw) the week of Labor day.  The exact days we will be going I don't know yet.  Hopefully, we will know soon.  I like to have things planned in advance so we know how much money to save between now and then.  I'm just an organized person...can't help it. 

I planned on showing yall some random pics, but I couldn't figure out how to get the pics off the digital camera.  So, whenever Kent gets home I'll get him to do it.  Hopefully, that will be sometime tonight.  So yall come back!!!!!!

Rainy Saturday

Did I miss the memo telling us that it was going to rain ALL SUMMER???  This whole week there has been nothing but rain showers.  And hardly any sun.  It's starting to get depressing!  The weather man said last night that the rain should stay SOUTH of us for today...can we say WRONG????  Umm..anyways..just ignore me...it's my hormones talking.

So let me tell yall about this little critter growing inside me.  IT IS STUBBORN!!!!!!  Last night I got into bed and Kent was already asleep.  I was saying my nightly prayers and the baby was just a moving the WHOLE time.  So, after praying, I sat there and felt the baby moving.  One time it kicked/hit/whatever so hard that it made my leg jump.  I was like this is so neat I need to wake Kent up so he can feel it.  So, I sat there for a few more seconds making sure the baby was still being active.  So I wake Kent up and put his hand on my belly......NOTHING.  The baby quits moving.  I was so upset because I had woken Kent up for nothing it seemed.  We sat there for about 10 minutes waiting to feel the baby move and it never would.  GRRRR!!!  So, Kent goes back to sleep.  The baby didn't move again which I thought for sure once Kent goes to sleep then the baby will move again.  But he/she didn't.  Oh well....

Today my plans are to clean a bit.  Nothing major, just vacuum, sweep, and take out the trash.  Then I guess I'll wait on Kent to get home and do whatever tonight.  So, I guess that is all I have for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

My Friday

First I would like to give a BIG @@ (rolling eyes) to AOL journal editors.  Just needed to get that off my chest.

Well, today has felt like Saturday to me all day.  Kent was off today so him and my daddy decided to work on our driveway.  They put down some landscaping timbers and then put new gravel in the driveway.  It looks pretty good.  While they did that, my mom and I went to B'ham and shopped.  We went to this really neat craft store that would be perfect for finding Christmas gifts for everyone.  Maybe I'll go back and do some Christmas shopping later in the year.  Then we went to Kohl's and I got a new maternity top and a maternity capri and shirt set.  They both are really cute.  After all the shopping we came home.  I took about a 40 minute nap while the clothes were washing.  Then I dried and folded some clothes and Kent went and got us something to eat.  Now, Kent is watching a movie on TV and I am typing to yall.   Are we having fun yet???

Only a few more days until the 4th of July!  I always have loved that holiday.  I always see family that I haven't seen in a year and plus there are always activities to do in the sun.  I just hope it is sunny!  Anyway, I don't know exactly what we have planned this year.  I don't even know if Kent has to work that day...he doesn't even know if he has to work that day.  We'll know sometime next week.

Then after the 4th is the 6th!  WOOHOO!!!!  I am hoping this little critter is cooperative.  I'm hoping the legs are open and they aren't shy at all.  So, this time in 2 weeks we will know if we are having a BOY or a GIRL.  I hope!

Well, I guess that is all that is going on in my life right now.  There are other things going on at the moment, but I wouldn't find it appropriate to type such things in here at this time.  So that's it!  I'll talk with yall later!

Full Day

Today was a full day!  I had a hair cut appointment at 10:00am.  It went well.  I just got my hair trimmed.  I'm trying to let my hair grow out.  I'm hoping by the time the baby gets here it will be long enough to throw up in a pony tail and it actually look good and not "sloppy".  We'll see how I do.

I took a nap while Kent watced a movie.  It was a nice, refreshing nap.  I believe I slept for about 40 minutes.  I believe Kent went to sleep as well.  It was nice being cuddled up together on the same couch.  I always feel safe when he is right next to me sleeping.  All together: "Awwww."

After the nap, it was timr to cook supper.  We had cubed steaks, mashed potatoes, and peas.  Kent cooked the cubed steak and I took care of everthing else.  It was good too!  YUMMY!

On our way to my parent's house to tan and socialize, we stopped by the walking track and I walked a mile and Kent ran/walked a mile and a half or so.  It feels good to exercise and know that I'm doing something good for my body.  Once done walking we went to my parent's and then to my grandmother's for a visit.

All and all it was a good day.  Now it's time for bed!!!!  Night!

Pregnancy Hormones

There is no mood in my "select a mood" box.  Because right now I don't know what mood I am in.  And honestly, by the time I am done with this entry I could be in a completely different mood than what I was in when I started.  It's crazy.  These hormones just take over me and I just get really sad or really mad or happy or silly or whatever....very confusing.  I can just THINK of something and it will make me mad.  It's crazy.  I've heard of pregnant women saying that their hormones got the best of them sometimes, but frankly I just thought they were making excuses...but NOPE it's true!  It scares me though that I don't have more control over my emotions.  I was trying to explain it to Kent, but his only comment is "That's just a part of pregnancy."  Well, what if its not?  What if I continue to be this way?  OH MY GOODNESS!!!!  What if my emotions just keep taking over and finally I am in some nutty house with nurses with hairy moles on their faces spoon feeding me butterscotch pudding?  OR what if I find myself in some padded white room where the only way I can see family is through a bullet proof window???  SEE?  I'm going crazy already!  Someone...please...tell me this is NORMAL!  Amazingly Kent just takes it and goes.  He is able to tune me out without a problem...ummm...I wonder how he does it?  Oh well...I'm off...later all!

I MUST be CrAzY!

OK, I must be crazy or going crazy.  It's 1:25am and I am CLEANING!  WHAT!?!?!!?!?  Yes, you read right...I'm cleaning.  For whatever reason the mood stuck me and here I am cleaning.  Well...not right this second but I was cleaning.  So far I have dusted the entertainment center and both bookcases, the end table, the heaters, and the shelf in the bathroom.  I would dust the bedroom, but sleep beauty (aka Kent) is in there.  I have also wiped off the counter tops and the kitchen table.  I guess the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.  Because if I do anything else, I'll wake Kent up.  So this is what is left...  Vacuum the carpets and the furniture, sweep, maybe mop, wash clothes, wash dishes, clean bathroom, and clean the rest of the kitchen.  Hopefully, it won't take too long.  I hope not anyways.  Well, I guess I'm off to bed...unless I find something else to clean...

Happy Father's Day!

                                         

Happy Father's Day!!!!  I hope all Dads have a great day today!!!  Today is Kent's first Father's Day.  Even though our bun is still cooking in the oven we still think of it as a baby and a life so we went ahead and celebrated.  Kent's gift was a big cooler that rolls of wheels so you don't have to pick it up and carry it.  It is really nice.  He also got some new white undershirts to wear under his uniform for work.  He also got a card from the baby and the "girlies" (the cats).  The rest of his present will be his Florida trip which is also his birthday present.  I've saved enough $$money$$ to where this trip to Florida would cover me with gifts for him for sometime!  Anyway,  HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to the new DADDY Kent and to MY DADDY!

SAMMIE!!!!!!!!!!

SAAAAMMMMIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!  Sammie is my "eldest" cat.  She has a complete mind of her own.  And forget about petting her or loving on her.  The only time she wants to be loved on is in the morning and that's it.  She is one strange cat.  So, today after coming in from shopping, I go into my bedroom and I am straightening up what I messed up that morning while getting ready to go.  So, I see this imagine in the mirror....  Apparently, Sammie had a fur ball and decided to leave it as a present on my pillow.  Can we say EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?  So I immediately clean it off my pillow case and throw the pillow case into the wash.  But my poor pillow was done in.  Grrr...and I liked that pillow too.  So Kent and I went to Wal-Mart and got me a new pillow.  It's so soft!!!!  We also got some more bed sheets in case of an emergency or something.  I really like the new sheets too.  They are like a light blue, dark blue, and light green plaid pattern.  I was really excited about it!  Sometime this week I need to take our comforter and have it cleaned.  But anyway...enough with my ramblings....that is all I've got for today!  I'll talk with yall later!

YAY! YAY! YAY!

<~~~The Element we are getting.  Except ours will be silver!

Well, good news to report...I POOPED!  Can we say, FINALLY?!!?!?!  Anyway, I won't go into details of it all, but it gave me relief.  So, I'm not taking anymore iron pills.  I'm just going to load up on food that has iron in it.  Raisins, green veggies, and things like that.  That way its natural and doesn't "clog" up the body.  Plus, my prenatals have iron in them, so we will see.  If I go back to the doctor and he says my iron is still low, then we will have to talk of other measures to take.  I just can't see it being healthy to continue to take the pills and NOT go to the bathroom.  It was very stressful having to worry about it!

Today, I cleaned up the house a bit, washed dishes, and worried about pooping.  Then Kent and I went and signed papers on getting the Element.  We should have it by Monday or Tuesday.  I'm EXCITED!  I can't wait to drive it!  Tonight we also went out to eat with my parents.  We had a good time.  After eating Kent and I went and got his dad a Father's Day gift.  As we were going home we rain into a weird rain storm.  It would be raining really hard then all of a sudden stop, and then start raining hard again.  It did that for about 15 miles.  There was also a pretty rainbow.  Now, Kent and I guess myself (grrr) are watching the HULK.  Kent said he forgot what happened in it so he wants to watch it again.  HOORAY!  Well, I guess that is all for now!  Until next time...
