Ok, so I know I said I would update pics last weekend but seriously people, time seems to get away from me. I have had an ok week. Ok it was great until my OB appointment yesterday and then yea...if it weren't so close to my due date I would be picking a new doctor. Long story short. I'll blog about it later, right now I want to keep this short since Aidan is watching the end of a Curious George episode and then we need to go to Target to pay a bill, and buy a few things.
So, aside from nesting and being overwhelmed and not sleeping I am doing ok. We are hoping to head to Kent tonight to celebrate New Year's Eve with some friends at their annual party, but we'll see what time John is off. He worked 9am-11pm yesterday so who knows. He and I will take Aidan out to the in-law's and then head to Kent!! Should be good times. So, more blogging will be done soon. I promise and I promise to update just as soon as I am able to get my paws on a computer after baby girl is born!! I am hoping on taking my laptop to the hospital with me. We'll se though. So, in closing this last blog post for the year of 2008, I wish each and everyone of my 2 readers a blessed 2009 and a VERY safe New Years Eve.
Hope to see you in 2009!!!! Love you all!! Oh and officially 8 days until the c-section date for those who didn't know yet!! I hope I don't have to have another c-section. Keep your fingers crossed for me please!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Pictures....
Ok with Christmas I know I have been slacking getting pics up on the blog but that is on my weekend to-do list so check back here by the end of the weekend and hopefully there will be new pics from the last little bit!!
MERRY CHTIRSTMAS!!!
First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! What a wonderful day today was so far. John worked until 8pm last night and then we came home and got ready for the festivities of today. I crashed around midnight and he crashed sometime around then in our comfy new chair that we got so that I can nurse baby girl in. He came to bed around 2am. He has fallen asleep in that chair more since we got the chair than our own bed. CRAZY!!
I woke him up around 5-6am to let him know we hadn't put out a gift for Aidan...the all important doctor's kit. He has been wanting one for the longest time now and he FINALLY got it!! Well, we went to bed and around 8am we got a call from the in-law's. They were without power!!! All this crazy wonderful white stuff knocked out their power!! We were suppose to be there at some point this morning (no time specified which is never good to tell us since we will show up when we get up and get going...). Greg told John that they were cancelling today and rescheduling it for Saturday, or Sunday if John ends up working on Saturday. We were going to do gifts and eat breakfast with them. It's a bit difficult to eat breakfast without power.
So, John and I watched Good Morning America or whatever was on and waited for Aidan to wake up. He has had some REALLY late bedtimes lately so I expected him to sleep late....9am and he comes strolling out of his room into the family room. First things out of his mouth; "Santa came!!! He didn't eat all his cookies or drink all his milk. Maybe he's saving it for later!!" John and I laughed because it was pretty silly the way he said it. Once he changed into his big boy underroo's we started in on the gifts!! We all got some wonderful gifts this year and without going overboard!!
I suggested that we go to breakfast since it was a special occasion and it would be more fun than making our own. I twisted and turned John's arm a bit and he finally agreed. After breakfast, we went on a man hunt for gas. I was nearly out and either all the stations were sold out, only accepting cash, or they had no power. We finally hit up a station that had gas!! We came home and decided to put Aid down for nap but first we thought we would add to the morning and get stuck backing into our parking spot. Luckily a friend of a friend was driving by at that moment and he and John pushed on the car as I laid on the gas to back into our spot. We made it after getting stuck in ruts that were 6 inches deep....thanks stupid apartment complex that hasn't done a darn thing except to keep the walkway by the office clear this whole snow storm. Whole separate story.
So now I am sitting here listening to the boys get ready to go outside to play in the snow that we have and the new accumulation that has fallen already today!! Talk about a white Christmas!!! It is WONDERFUL!! We are headed to take Aidan to see Bolt this afternoon because he has been asking to go to the movies lately and since we aren't going to my mom's due to the snow and the fact that she has no power as well, we figured we would do things that we don't normally do!!! Mom was going to go with us and go to dinner after since we can no longer warm up the ham and make the scalloped potatoes, but since she is trying to warm her house by keeping the fire going all day she is laying low and we are too!!! So, now that you know just exactly what we have planned, I hope that you are enjoying this wonderful day today with your family!! Merry Christmas and stay safe if you are anywhere that has snow or awful driving conditions!!!

I'm dreaming of a WHITE Christmas!!!
So, as many of you probably have heard, we have had an insane amount of snow this year!! Snow officially started snowing on December 13th but it was only a dusting which promptly melted the next day. By Wednesday the temperatures were downright cold. I was optimistic that we would get more snow (the blizzard that they were predicting) but it wasn't coming as quickly as they had predicted. SO, Aidan and I decided to bake cookies, mint M&M, peanut butter blossom, and peanut butter cookies with a peanut butter cup in the center to be exact. We had a lot of fun. I also made some yummy chutney and lemon curd for Aidan's pre-school teachers. In the back of my mind I knew if I went crazy we would for sure get snow....it's been known to happen before!!
Sure enough....by the morning we had at least 8 inches of snow. I woke up around 3:30am and there was nothing, ok it was a dusting and "trying" to stick in spots to the road but it was pathetic at that point. By 6:30am....well.....that was the 8 inches. You have to remember that all areas around us had snow dumping on them since the night before while we had been getting rain. I was so thrilled!!!! Aidan and I took John to work because his car doesn't have studs on yet or chains and my car has the studs on it.
It snowed all last Thursday (Dec. 18th) until around 5pm and then nothing until Saturday. We got 12-13 inches from the Thursday snowfall. It was great!! We had so much fun playing!! I have decided that I live in the wrong climate where we don't usually get snow. Well it snowed, Saturday all night and we were at my mom's for our Christmas since Katie and her family will be visiting her in-law's (if they can leave the airport). My brother-in-law was outside shoveling around my car at least 4 times from the time we got there around 6pm until we went to bed around midnight because he was concerned that I would have this baby and need to get out and wouldn't be able to. I thought it was so sweet!! Nope, no baby. John and Dave shoveled all morning on Sunday while Katie, Alexis and Aidan played in the snow. I stayed inside because all I really could do was stand there.
We had snow all day on Sunday as well and a windstorm from Saturday evening that actually left drifts!! It was C-R-A-Z-Y!!! By the time John and I got home on Sunday evening after visiting Santa and grabbing dinner, we had at least another 8-12 inches. So total snow fall was 18-24 inches!! John thinks its around a foot, but he didn't take into account the snow that was compacted from the first snow fall. Things have since iced over and our parking lot might as well be an ice skating rink. It can get exciting!!
Anyhow, we have had temps as low as the single digits and not getting higher than mid-30's and that was just yesterday. Crazy!!! My in-law's came and got Aidan for me today since I have a few doctor's appointments and it is right during his nap time. When I walked outside to say good-bye to Aidan the snow was lightly falling. I was happy!! I love it when it snow's!! My MIL wasn't so thrilled I believe! She thought I was crazy for being excited and happy about the snow!! Oh well. So we'll see what the rest has in store for us!! So stay tuned....I have pictures to post but right now, I need to go grab a shower and get to my appointments so I am not late. I don't know how long it will take me to get to Evergreen Hospital since there are hills everywhere around it. I'll post pics soon!! PROMISE!!!

Jury Summons....
Ok, so I was just chatting with some friends at Redmond Lights this past Sunday. Brenda, said she had been summoned for jury duty. I told her that I have been summoned a handful of times while in college, and the last time being while I was in Pullman going to school. I remember clearly that I sent the summons back to wherever saying that I would be in school on the other side of the state. No problems from there.
Flash forward to today!! I got our mail from the last two days...yes I am getting lazy and it is locked so I don't feel badly going a few days without checking. I got a jury summons!! HAAA!!! I laughed because I figured that it would be around the time baby girl will be coming or after. I was right, February 3rd for 4 days. I have to report at 8am. If I knew that John would be working consistently (which he probably won't be, whole different story), and I didn't have work, a possible major surgery (c-section), and a couple week old baby I would TOTALLY do it. Not because I REALLY want to but because as an American citizen, that is part of my obligation.
So, I have called and am waiting for a call back. There is no way I am leaving my few week old baby at home with someone else for 4 days ALL day long especially since I will be nursing my sweet baby. So we'll see what happens. I'll do it but they will have to put up with an infant and that right there would probably get me dismissed!! I am just laughing at the whole situation at this point. What's the luck that right after I give birth I would be summoned?? I had a friend who was summoned during the week that her baby boy was due last year. Have any of you had something interesting like this happen??

My man in brown...
So, John surprised me one night a few weeks ago. He said that he had a surprise for me when I arrived home. I was a bit upset with him because I thought he was trying to pick a fight with me or something or trying to push my buttons on purpose.
So when I got home, I went straight into the bathroom and started Aidan's bath. As I waited for the tub to fill, I turned on the TV in our room and fumed. Aidan was to busy talking to Daddy. John asked Aidan to have me come look at the computer. I wasn't in a good mood at that point. I had been out shopping with my mom for a few hours, and being as prego as I am I was tired and didn't want to move. So....John came to me.
Well, he had a plaque and pin to show me. It was a recognition to John from UPS. It was recognizing him for a year of safe driving (no accidents). I am so proud of him. I think I actually got a bit teary eyed but mainly because I felt so bad for thinking he was trying to pick a fight with me or push my buttons!! So, with the plaque, and pin and such, he got to choose something from a catalog!!! He was so happy and I was so proud of him!! Way to go baby!! I love you and thank you for all the hard work that you have done for us through the last year!! Bring on peak!!!!
The photo above is of John's first day as a driver at UPS!!! What a wonderful day that was!!! Aidan and I sure do love our man in brown!! Sissy will too!!!

3 blogs below this one...
So, I promised that I would update the blog as soon as I could with pictures and such. So here you go. There is pictures from Thanksgiving, our stay at Willow's Lodge, our Godson Logan and this one. So I just blogged 4 different blogs!! Have fun catching up!! Sorry its overload. I usually don't do this but I didn't want to forget about it and I know that this weekend will be crazy with lots of stuff. I am having my baby shower on Saturday, we are picking up our new recliner (thanks Nana!!! We are so excited to get it!!), decorating, going to Redmond Lights, and John is working at Garlic Jim's to fill in as a sub. He isn't working at Garlic Jim's until after baby girl is born. So there you have it!! Enjoy!!!
Our Godson, Logan!!
Ok, so this is our Godson Logan!!! He is such a sweet little boy. I remember the frantic phone call the day before he was born from his momma who was told she was having her baby that day. She was a little anxious and unsure of what was going to happen so she called me. I have known her for YEARS!!! She passed in a car accident WAY to early about 16 months ago. Logan has been living with his dad and we didn't really know him all that well. So, long story short we haven't seen Logan since his aunt's wedding in the middle of January 2008. We have missed him SO much.
Well, what do you know. John and I were walking up the stairs to church on Sunday and I turned to John and asked if that was Logan. I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't tell. I was 99% sure. When I got to the top, his Nana (my mom's really close friend) waved to me and pointed as if to say look who I have with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She also hasn't seen Logan a whole lot. She was on cloud 9 to be with him and spend anytime with. So, we sat with them, chatted and John played with Logan!!
Seeing him happy and such was such a wonderful thing. It had been SO long and we think of him all the time. We love the little guy so much and wish that we could see him more but we will take what we can get. We were so thankful to be able to see him. What a wonderful way to end our Thanksgiving weekend!!! Enjoy the photos!!!
Logan sitting on his Nana's lap playing with his soaps (from Nana's bathroom-he washed mine and John's faces with the soap!!)
playing with John 
cuddling with his Nana!!! She sure misses him
Eating doughnuts after mass. Aidan was excited to see Logan although he hadn't seen Logan in much longer than we had. Still so fun!!!Willow's Lodge!!!! A-M-A-Z-I-NG!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!! That is all I have to say about Willow's Lodge in Woodinville!!! I won a nights stay at Willow's at our spa day for my MOPS group. It was a chance of a lifetime. I remember someone said that I won the "grand prize" and I remember asking what was it because I was busy doing the craft that they had out for us that day or munching on some yummy food that we always have at our MOPS meetings. When someone told me I was awed by how lucky I was at getting a chance to win something like this not to mention a chance to stay somewhere that I thought would only happen in my fairytale!!!
Well the stay was.....AWESOME!!!!!! I took 2 baths in the gigantic tub, while watching TV. It was heaven. John and I hung out watched TV and just had a nice little break from reality. I was able to check in at 4pm and after picking up my mom and Aidan (he was at my in-laws since I had a funeral to go to that morning). The three of us headed down to the hotel. We got in and our jaws were on the floor!! It was gorgeous. Aidan jumped on the bed, ran around, was busy and downright CRAZY!!! He washed his hands in the tub because he couldn't reach the sink. I wish I had taken a picture of that it was rather funny and super cute.
Once John got off work (we watched TV, my mom napped) he came down and we all took Nana (my mom) and Aidan to my mom's house. We stopped by Mazatlan before we took them home. Aidan and John went to the bathroom while at the restaurant and Aidan came running back to the table, tripped and spilled John's beer all over. Luckily it ended up completely in my plate of food. I though, oh not so bad, I can pick around the food, but then I remembered John didn't get coke but beer and changed my mind. They were really nice and brought me a complete new plate and John a fresh beer. It was rather nice of them. Aidan refused to eat after that. He felt SO bad for causing such a mess. He had the saddest look on his face. It was so cute I tried hard not to laugh. The only way he would eat was if he got some cuddles from me and loves, and sat next to me on the booth side. I was squished between my mom and Aidan. So comfy.
So after we took Nana and Aidan home, John and I headed to Cold Stone got ice cream and headed to the hotel. We hung out, I took a bath, and we watched TV. He would have watched all sports but I complained and whined enough saying that I wasn't sitting in a hotel room that cost as much as it did to watch sports. He changed. Well, the next morning, even though we were kid less, we both woke up at 7am. I was STARVING so we went to Woodinville Cafe, we love this place and haven't been in ages. We were literally 2 of 6-8 people in the entire restaurant. It was great. We saw some people that John knew, I know them now through him.
After breakfast, we headed to Target and had to wait until they unlocked the doors. It was weird being in so early. We did a bit of shopping and hung out and then headed back to the hotel. I took another bath, John tried the football thing again, but I again wouldn't have it....nice try though. We both took naps and then showered and got ready to head out. We had to check out by noon so it was a low key stay. We went out to lunch after and picked out our new recliner at Reclinerland and ran a few other errands then off to pick up Mr. Aidan from Nana's. Overall it was worth it!! I LOVED it. Highly highly recommend it if you have the cash. It was an experience of a lifetime and look forward to someday going back there for an anniversary or something like that!!
SO....here are our photos of our visit. I took a bunch when we first got there and a few of John....as usual I was behind the camera and not in front. Enjoy!!
the bed....not as comfy as ours BUT still awfully nice!!
the fireplace and TV 
Aidan bouncing on our bed....breaking it in
overpriced food, and our table and chairs
the lovely lovely bath that I will have in my home someday!! It's added to the must have list for my home!!

again....the bath!! The important things in life especially for me since it made me feel weightless with my big old belly!!
John chilling in bed....something we don't get to do much anymoreThanksgiving 2008
So, I promised photos and these are from our Thanksgiving!! John prepped the bird, stuffed it with help from my mom and got it in the oven. I helped get the stuffing ready to be stuffed and then later I made the green bean casserole. My sister was in charge of the mashed potatoes and she ended up "forgetting" about them and her hubby, Dave took over with me being his sous chef....I don't think he has ever made anything but boxed...I could be wrong though. Enjoy our photos!!! We had a FABULOUS Thanksgiving with a lot to be thankful for!!
John prepping the bird
Mom and I working on the stuffing...she just was adding herbs I did the rest!!

The Nana...after a long day...we all were tired after our second turkey dinner. The first one on Thanksgiving, my brother and Eric couldn't make it so we had a second feast on Sunday!! This way our turkey could cook some more. Still wasn't done after 2-3 more hours of cooking....10+ hours total of cooking and still raw in places....CRAZY!!!!!
Family photo....don't know when the last one was taken. I thought it was about time. Not to mention that I need it for a project!!Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

The countdown has begun....34 weeks, 5 to go!!
So, my oh my I am officially 34 weeks today!! Can you believe it! I certainly can't. It seems like just yesterday that I was telling John that we were going to be parents again, then finding out we were having a girl, now we have no more than 5 weeks to go!! Since I am trying a VBAC and have gestational diabetes, they don't want me going past 39 weeks!! One week closer to meeting our daughter!!
Well, I have been having non-stress tests for a few weeks now and this week we are starting two a week. Today was a good day. Baby girl finally started moving after they buzzed her twice and she woke up from her afternoon nap. My appointment is at 1pm usually on Tuesdays so I assume she was just practicing for when she is here!! Also, while we were in there I had a pretty darn tooting strong contraction. I have been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions lately. Some to the point of needing to breathe through them. They are getting worse daily. Not to the point where I need to go to the hospital by any means, but I definitely need to breathe through more.
It's just my body getting ready for baby girls arrival. I am excited that my body is having contractions and decent ones at that. At my NST today it was up to 123 on the contraction monitor, the week before it was in the 50's. Progress. I am hoping to make it to week 37 but my girlfriend, Alexa is predicting that I don't make it. We'll see.
Speaking of Alexa, she has been SO incredibly sweet to put together and host all by herself a shower for baby girl and myself!!! I am so excited. It is this weekend and I can't wait to see all the hard work she has been putting into this party!! I have such wonderful friends!!!! Thanks Alexa!! You are the best!! I owe you big!! I figured that since I had a shower with my pregnancy with Aidan that I wouldn't with this baby, but I love that she thought I needed one!! I have to be honest, I love parties (even if they aren't for me)!!!
So, keep posted I will post pics of my shower this weekend, and also I need to post more pics from Thanksgiving. I haven't done that yet either. Lot's of blogging to do this week!! On the to do list.....34 week photos (posted), baby shower blog/pictures, and Thanksgiving blog/pictures. So I have a lot to do this week and I believe that this Thursday is the only Thursday that I don't have anything going on so keep posted!!! Sorry if this ended up a bit random, I have been super sleep deprived lately (can't get comfortable and when I do I wake up to go to the bathroom.....again). Happy December!!!

So, keep posted I will post pics of my shower this weekend, and also I need to post more pics from Thanksgiving. I haven't done that yet either. Lot's of blogging to do this week!! On the to do list.....34 week photos (posted), baby shower blog/pictures, and Thanksgiving blog/pictures. So I have a lot to do this week and I believe that this Thursday is the only Thursday that I don't have anything going on so keep posted!!! Sorry if this ended up a bit random, I have been super sleep deprived lately (can't get comfortable and when I do I wake up to go to the bathroom.....again). Happy December!!!
