WARNING: whining below...

i just need to vent a little....i have been feeling awful this whole week! It first started with some allergy attacks....sneezing, watery eyes, congested nose, and that "my head is going to explode" feeling....It has progressively gotten worse all week....but the kicker is...I have not slept in about 6 nights :( I cant sleep because i cant breath! I fall asleep about 10pm...then by 1pm i get up to go to the bathroom and i cant get back to sleep, so i end up in the living room watching tv or surfing the Internet until about 5am or 6am and then i usually fall asleep for one or two more hours...this has been my sleeping pattern for about a week now. Please pray for Jake, because of this yukky sleep pattern...i have been a total grouch!! I guess God is just preparing us for the sleepless nights ahead. Ohh but thats not all...also early this week, my left rib starting feeling really uncomfortable...at first i just contributed it to the fact that things are growing and moving inside me and room was just being made or something, but like my allergies, the pain started getting worse and worse and by Thursday i could hardly stand without being in a lot of pain. I had Dr. Tamatha give me an adjustment, but she said that it was a strained rib and that i just needed to give it a couple of days to heal. I have no idea what happened, the only think i can think of is that maybe i over did a yoga pose on Monday night, so I didnt go to my Friday class, but i probably could have, because it has not hurt all weekend!!! So thats good....anyway...thanks for letting me vent... Maybe now i wont be so grouchy ;)

are we even old enough to own a crib??





APPARENTLY SO!!!! ps.i promise if this little baby is a boy, i will take the pink blanket off...it just looked cute in the moment :)

the joys of living debt free....



I came home the other day from work....and jake was doing some "do-it-yourself" maintenance to his truck....and i just thought he looked so darn cute doing it!! ps.Please ignore the ou licence plate....it "came with the truck" and i have been BEGGING him to take it off since last march!! ;)

Speaking of driving free (or paid off) cars....i was surfing around on dave ramseys website the other day and came across this video.... click here to watch it ... this video could seriously change your life forever!! (did that sound dramatic enough to get you to watch it??)...Anyway, we will be opening up a "car replacement fund" in a form of a mutual fund and start this plan January 2010(we are going to add more to retirement and start college funding first).

21 Weeks!!!....

Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. You may soon feel like she's practicing martial arts as her initial fluttering movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges. You may also discover a pattern to her activity as you get to know her better. In other developments, your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now

in honor of being 21 weeks along.... these photos where taken of a 21-week old baby during a surgery(i promise they are real...heather snopes.com it.)...I have seen these photos before (as many of you have)...but when my mom sent these to me in an e-mail yesterday i saw these photos in such a different light....thats the size of my little babys hand....thats the size of my little babys arm....so COOL!!

Bellie gets a bath and hair cut....FINALLY!!

Annabelle had needed a bath/haircut so bad lately i swear i have heard her say..."ummm mom...dad...when are you going to have money in those envolopes for ME??" ;)

whooooa, we're half way there, whooooooa, we're livin on a prayer...

thats right friends 20 WEEKS!!! We are half way through this 40 week journey! It is so weird to think that i am half way there to meeting my son or daughter!! I have continued to feel this little person move...ohhh two or three times a day, which is only the best feeling in the world!
this morning was my 20 week appointment with Ann. This is the first visit i have gained weight...up 4 pounds baby!! It was fairly uneventful (Thank Goodness!!), we chatted a while, she found my uterus/baby, and we listened to the heartbeat, he/she was moving around A LOT, we were hearing a lot of whooshing sounds mixed with heartbeat, baby was taking a little swim this morning ;)
I thought i would leave you with a photo of a banana....thats how long the baby is now!!
