We are Men. We Make Fire. And Bring Diapers.

This past weekend I threw Chase a little “Diapers for Dad Man Shower” and from picking him up around 1am with not-a-lot of beer or tequila left, I think it was a success! Thanks to Dean for the booze, Em, Kate & Court for helping with the set up, the Man crew for coming and for the DIAPERS! Chase’s shirt was a gift from my good friend and old boss Chrie (Trimesters Maternity) and he finally got his camo Diaper Dude Bag. We can all sleep well! 

*Pop Pop wanted to put the toddler seat on the back of the bike for a photo. Cute picture BUT this is the ONLY time the toddler seat will be on the back of the bike. Yes, I am "one of those" Mothers*

While the guys played hangover golf the next day, Christi and I went to an open house/baby shower at the hospital where we will both deliver. I knew without the guys going with us what people would think…and they did.

In the elevator there were 2 other couples (husbands/wives) and us. The nurse/tour guide looked around and said “So, we have 3 couples joining us today on the tour!”

AWKWARD, but we cleared that up fast! Christi is barely showing and I am about to pop, so we were not surprised for people to think we were the hip 2012 knocked up couple. We explained that we were friends, neighbors, BOTH pregnant, but not “together” and husbands were not with us today.

All in all, great tour, met some precious nurses, good cookies and freebies!        


Last but NOT LEAST, my little seester Lindsey Kay graduated high school! You may remember her from a previous blog when I seriously thought this day would never come. Lindsey is headed to Baylor in the Fall, and I picture myself holding Norah in the driveway, waving goodbye as Lin drives away...brings tears to my eyes every time. I am not ready. But she is and will be amazing. We are so proud of you little and know you are meant to do GREAT THINGS! 

The Usual Prego Update:

How Far Along: 35 weeks; she is about 5 lbs and 18ish inches long

Maternity Clothes: maternity tops and leggings/stretchy pants...breezy. 

Sleep: up 4 times per night every 2 hours like clockwork…getting ready!  

Best Moments: A few weeks ago I ran myself down…fever, aches, high heart rate and blood pressure. I had not been resting enough and was overwhelmed with the end of school and all of the new baby goodies. Well, that ended up with me on bed rest for 2 days and Katie coming over to unpack EVERYTHING. Thank the good Lord Baby Jesus for my Mom and sisters. Emmy was out of commission for her tonsils, so it was Katie and Marmee to the rescue! They are amazing. I keep asking if they are all moving in after Norah Boo gets here…I’m not sure if they think I DEAD SERIOUS or kidding. I am serious. 
Miss Anything: Frozen Margaritas

Movement: Hiccups and some kung-fu action

Food Cravings: Food…Frequently.

Anything making me sick or nauseas: the “birthing” process…still in the fetal position crying with a mix of my crazy/nervous laugh

Gender: Norah Boo Fancy Gul  

Labor Signs: “pressure down there” and I really feel like her hand is about to come out and wave. (Sorry for being graphic, but that is what is feels like!)

Symptoms: Sleepy. Hungry. Thirsty. SWOLLEN FEET. I started crying at the nail shop because I did not recognize my own ankle. Chase will only let me run 1-2 errands a day now. Love him for it, but I am BORED.

Belly Button: It’s out and proud.

Wedding Rings: On

Happy or Moody: School’s out for the Summer, Babay.

Looking Forward To: Katie’s wedding tomorrow night in VEGAS! I will be watching online with my parents and some family friends. I know her and Emmy will look beautiful and bring me back awesome Vegas swag…right, sistas?!! Hehe.
