Its official.....

I am now HUGE! There will be no pictures from me...of me...or around me....I'm hiding out! Hybernating might be the right word! I have 2 and a half days left before the bambino arrives.....I am finishing up loose ends and finishing up the bad food I will no longer have a reason (or maybe an excuse) to eat!
Today I ate waffles smoothered in peanut butter and syrup.....but atleast they were organic, right!? McDonalds #10 with a diet Coke and sweet and sour sauce for lunch. Snacks were Girl Scout Thin Mint and Samoa cookies. And I will finish off the evening with my healthy turkey chili...but it WILL be covered in shredded cheddar cheese! I would like to think that starting tomorrow morning I will be eating a nutritious and well balanced diet. Lets cross our fingers......
Oh wait...there is left over green bean casserole made by my fabulous cousin (you know who you are) fried onions and cheese on top of creamy green beans....YES PLEASE! And you know what else!?!? Homemade chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing in the back of the fridge! Honestly its the best cake that I have EVER made! That can definitly NOT go to waste.....okay today might have to go out with a bang! And a few extra TUMS...but I think it will be worth it! CHEERS to the baby for giving me a reason NOT to feel guilty!

1 week left......

I tell you what. Do I like being pregnant!? Sometimes.

Its awesome in the summer because you don't have any body issues....it's like" yeah, I'm fat so what! Pass the chips and guac..."! But I am now entering my last week of this pregnancy...all I can say is Oh My.....there is a reason that my first came early....God knew there could be a chance of me never having another...

I will say that I feel bad saying this. I'm having a very successful pregnancy....I started sleeping well, my skin cleared up, I've only gained 29lbs.....BUT the turkey is cooked....I'm DONE!! I cant explain it unless you've been there but I tell you....I WANT MY BODY BACK!!

I have this "alien" (even though she'll be my pretty princess once shes out) inside that is moving organs like you would move a heavy piece of furniture! Kicking my bladder (I now pee 6 times a night from 11:00 to 7:30am) she shoves herself in my tummy causing heartburn that feels its from the depths of hell. And my personal favorite....face fat. This little one has made me lose my appetite. So WHY....really WHY does my face keep getting bigger?! Gross!

So anyhoo.....I'm being very nice about all of this in case once day she comes across her crazy mothers old blog....which will probably have the same value as a cassette player...but oh well! To my last week! My it end quickly so I can start complaining about sleepless nights, sore monster boobies and green poop!

So.....if you have never been to my house you may have hundreds...even thousands of questions that are going thru your mind as you look at these pictures. Nope these aren't some cute little baby boutique find or cuddly puppy pictures! THIS is Michelle...and she has been a member of our family since 2006.

Here we go...my hubbie has always had a strong desire for finding his "cheers" you know...where everyone knows you name... Well....no matter where we have lived he has looked and found his "hot spot". When we lived in the Northern Virginia area he and his co workers (well one imparticular) found a quaint little pub with great food and beverages.....also known as HOOTERS. Most wives...I would not be so sure if they were as cool as I was about it. Actually no....I wasnt cool about it. BUT when I got pregnant with Gavin their crab legs and wings made it all ok for this little preggo mama! That was it....with my approval the tradition was made. Almost every weekend we would make it to the local HOOTERS. I got so into it that I would call all the other wives and set it up myself! Am I the BEST or what!

So some how or other Michelle was given to Kyle as a birthday gift. She sat proudly on our computer desk in our HOME office! The best memory was my mother coming out for a visit, probably to see her new baby grandson. Went to check her emails, placed her hand on the mouse and said, "Oh...well thats....interesting!?!" But she couldn't deny that Michelle had some lovely and very comfortable attributes....really your wrist always felt so warm and cozy!

The other day I noticed it.....Michelles perfect implant had burst. And even though I knew it was way past her time to leave (when your 2 year old starts cupping them, I knew we might have just given our son a boob fetish) it made me sad.....it was another chapter of our lives ending. We hadn't been to a HOOTERS since the move, and with kids running around...rude and crude mouse pad people were NOT the kind of parents we wanted to be. So this is my farewell....my tribute to Michelle. Thank you for reminding us that we once had some fun in our lives...and dont worry. We will be back!
