Can I call you Bra?

Some exciting news to share with you all in blog land today! My sister and her boy toy just got engaged last week! I’m over the moon excited for them and can’t wait to help her plan it and dress shop! And Wade is super stoked b/c they have actually agreed to let him marry them so he gets to use his Universal Life Church reverend card! (Thank goodness it is no longer going to be a waste!)

So congrats to Kara and Todd!

You are a great couple and I can’t wait to have a brother! :)

Weekly Want-It's!

I’m still fitting in my normal wardrobe (for the most part) so I’m going to continue this week’s weekly want-it’s with normal clothing however maybe in the near future I will do a maternity one. I know that won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but well, I’m getting fat folks so just go with it. I measured my belly at the beginning of all this and put it in a journal that my MIL gave me and just last week I measured it again and my belly has already grown an inch. Luckily most of that growth is above the waist bands on my pants so I can still get them on! :) Oh yeah, fatty want a brand new pair of pants. “Looking like a fool w/ your pants on the ground!” (Sorry, just had to put that in there that was hilarious!)

All righty then… Onward!

Kobe's Deep Thoughts

"Wow Mom. You've really let yourself go. Maybe you should lay off those holiday treats? But speaking of treats..."

*Update - I found the most hilarious website ever. This British guy talks in his sleep and his wife records it and puts it on their blog. He says the most amazingly hilarious things. There is also a video clip of them on Yahoo! today. I am laughing so hard right now I am crying. Happy freaking Friday! http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/
Just a few examples:
"I can't control the kittens. Too many whiskers! Too many whiskers!"
"I don't want to die! I love sex. And furry animals."
"Don't leave the duck there. It's totally irresponsible. Put it on the swing, it'll have much more fun."
"Ooh! My balls are itchy. Have you got the cheese grater?"

(Not)Wordless Wednesday

I can't stop looking at this picture. Those are some cute and tiny baby legs there. And a cute little rump too! But maybe I'm just biased... :)

Pot Baby

Back in my college days I was known to smoke some pot every now and then. And really, who didn’t toke up every once and a while back in college? If you say you didn’t you are lying. Even Bill Clinton admitted to it and he saying he didn’t inhale is total bull shit in my book. Regardless, don’t judge, I haven’t been near pot in ages (my fun college days are way behind me, dammit).

Pot made me hungry 99.9% of the time that I smoked it. I remember one time after enjoying a little pot I was so ravenous I attacked the pantry trying to find something to eat. Unfortunately, being a broke college student the pantry had ramen noodles, peanut butter, saltines and granola bars in it. That isn’t much to work with. At least you’d think it wasn’t. However in my genius pot haze I thought of the best plan ever. To dip the chocolate chip granola bars into the jar of peanut butter. I remember my sister and I standing in the pantry doorway like hungry wolves over a carcass engorging ourselves w/ peanut butter covered granola bars. You’d have thought it was the most fabulous meal cooked by a world famous chef the way we inhaled these things. Looking back I’m sure had we been sober they would have tasted decent enough but nowhere near good enough for us to be shoveling them in our mouths the way we did. And one other time I ate an entire medium pepperoni pizza by myself. The whole thing. In one sitting. And I locked myself in my boyfriend’s room so no one else would even dare try to take a slice. (No wonder I gained the freshman 15…) Talk about a little pot piggy.

After my pot use was over and I grew up into a mature adult (ahem...) I became a fairly picky eater. I’d only be in the mood for certain foods and if that isn’t what Wade wanted too bad for him b/c that is the only thing I can even think of eating.

Not anymore.

Give me anything.

I don’t care what it is.

I’ll eat it.

It’s like I’m a human garbage truck. And I’m eating non-stop. It’s like I’m back in college and smoked pot again and all I can do is think of eating.

Anyways, I’ve come to think that this baby is the equivalent of really good pot. Minus the nonstop giggling and me saying “what?” over and over. So basically this baby makes me want to eat anything and everything. You’d think I was a starving Ethiopian child the way I want/dream/think about food all the time. So if you ever have the pleasure of enjoying a meal with me while I am expecting you’d better watch your hands. If they even start to move toward my plate there is a good chance I will bite your finger off.

And eat it.

Ciao!

One other thing that sucks about being pregnant is that I can’t go shopping! Who knows what is going to fit me in 1, 2, 5, 10 months from now! So for now I’ll just dream of shopping and post what I would buy on here. Of course shoes and purses are still okay! So not all hope is lost! Phew!

Holy Shit! There's a baby in there!!!

In place of my normal wordless Wednesday post I've got some big news to share w/ ya'll today. Some of you may know this and some of you don't but for all you baby haters out there, you'd better bite your tongue b/c my baby is dropping in July 2010. That's right. Wade & I are expecting. And thrilled! Our baby is going to be the baddest mother fucker on the planet. You all will just have to learn to love babies and if not just humor me and pretend you love mine. :)

Now, don't expect this to turn into a pregnancy/baby blog but at the same time it obviously will be very different for the time being. I can't drink (boo hoo!!!) so my drinking stories will be lacking which I know you all loved. But I WILL be back to my normal self. Eventually.

Anyway, as of now I feel great. I've been lucky and not had an ounce of morning sickness and I have the most supportive and greatest hubby ever that helps take care of me. So really the only symptoms I've had have been minor inconveniences.

• Exhaustion - This has got to be my worst one. I wake up, I'm tired. I go to work, I'm tired. I get off work, I'm tired. I go to bed, and I can't sleep! Go figure! And although Wade has been great and super supportive he gives me a hard time about this one. He teased me that my newest job is making sure our couch doesn't float away. Well, I've got to say that I've got this job nailed! Can I get a promotion?
• Sore tittays - This just started last week. They've also filled out a bit and I will be needing to shop for a new bra soon. The size increase is welcome, the soreness is not. Ow.
• Bloat - Extreme bloat. Some days I've looked so bloated that I look 7 months pregnant already. I'm not. I'm only 12 weeks. I should not look pregnant like this yet. The bloat is killing me Seymore.
• Hunger - All day, all night, nonstop. I'm hungry. Somehow I haven't gained any weight which is amazing considering all I've been eating. I lost weight in the beginning which I attribute to me cutting the booze out of my diet. B/c Lord knows I cut out a lot of calories when I stopped drinking. (I miss my vino...)
• Shortness of breath - I feel like I'm 80 years old. I get winded walking up our stairs. This is also a reason I barely leave the couch. It's ridiculous.
• Gas - You ain't seen nothing until you've been around a pregnant woman. Some may not want to talk about this side effect. I embrace it. It's not just toots, it's belches too. I could out-belch a trucker now. I still avoid tooting around Wade b/c I honestly cannot predict the outcome. Will it be a SBD? Will it be loud but odor free? Who knows? Wait, who am I kidding. All my toots smell like roses, cinnamon and freshly cut grass. Delicious.
• Weird dreams - I've been having not only very odd and vivid dreams but also sexy time dreams. So far these dreams have included the cast of Gossip Girl, Justin Timberlake and John Krasinski. Oh and Wade. Of course. :)
• Hormonal Rage - I don't think I've been too utterly insane. I've only flipped out on Wade a couple times. If you ask him he may say something different but he's lying. And to him I say "shut your mother bleepingbleepeffingbleepbleepingcrapbleepbleeping piehole!" :) See? No hormonal rage here. None at all.
• No-more-drinking depression - Seriously, it's winter... in Minnesota. There is near nothing to do up here besides drink during the winter b/c it is so effing cold out. And when your pregnant you can't go skiing or tubing or anything like that and really all you want to do is curl up w/ a mug of hot chocolate and Baileys but you CAN'T! And don't even get me started on how lame NYE was without being able to drink. Yes, it was still fun, but dear Lord I wanted a beer so bad. Basically it feels like being pregnant takes away your "fun" card. You can't do anything fun anymore. I am a social bee and part of that is drinking and mingling and well, I'm not going to lie, the drinking makes it more fun.
  

Anyhoodle, all in all it's been smooth sailing. So without further ado here is our little nugget's first photo. Doesn't the camera just love him/her? Looks like a gummy bear. :) Adorable I'm telling you. This was taken a little over 2 weeks ago.

And here is the 2nd photo shoot. My what a big forehead it has. Must be to hold in all those brains b/c this kiddo is going to be a genius! It's also going to be a ninja b/c while we were watching it on the ultrasound screen the little thing did the most amazing ninja kick move I've ever seen. A stealthy smart ninja. Totally rad.

Kobe is going to hate it.

Wordless Wednesday

We Partied Like It Was 2010 (or something like that)

So I would love to update ya’ll on our New Year’s Eve shindig and show you pictures and all that jazz but I only took like 3 pictures the entire evening. I don’t know what I was thinking! We had friends over which included 5 little boys (and 3 dogs) all under the age of 6 so things were a bit rowdy for a while! Our house has never seen so many little kiddos and didn’t know what hit it! We had to baby proof our place and fast!

We had food galore and kegerator beer along with some mixed cocktails. The evening started early with the ISU/MN bowl game starting at 5:00. ISU managed to pull out a win (1 point is all that is needed and won me the bet w/ my boss so I scored a 6-pack of beer!) and we celebrated their victory and the new decade. So we partied from 5:00-2:30am! We may be 30 now but we can still hang! (Although the hangovers are worse… Sorry Brad!)

(One of the few pictures I took. Brad, passed out w/ his tongue out. Priceless.)

Other than that the rest of our long weekend was relaxing and uneventful. We rented movies, (District 9 was dumb, Terminator Salvation was decent and GI Joe was meh) went out to dinner, and I was a lazy bum with Kobe and he loved it! Cuddle time!

How was all of your New Year’s Celebrations? Is it as cold where you are as it is here? The high today was 1. And it isn't supposed to get above the teens for the next week! WTF? I can't handle this shit. I need to move south.
