THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Don't get me wrong, I have loved being pregnant. I have loved feeling this little baby girl moving inside of me. There have been a few moments that I could have lived without but for the most part I have LOVED being pregnant. THAT TIME IS OFFICIALLY OVER! I just want to get her out of me and get going on being a mom. I know, I know...this is definitely not something to rush and I haven't but that doesn't mean I can't wish it was over. If my back didn't hurt so bad, I could do it forever. Well, not forever, but you know what I mean!

I'm not sick of strangers asking me when I'm due ,they don't know! I am sick of the same people asking me over and over again, "I forgot, When are you due again?" I'm the one with the memory issues people, not you! Write the shit down or stop asking! Lord please give me patience!

IT'S A GIRL!
I'M 28 WEEKS PREGNANT!
I HAVE PICKED A NAME AND NO I'M NOT TELLING YOU!
NO, YOU CAN'T TOUCH MY BELLY!
AND NO, I DON'T LIKE PICKLES AND ICE CREAM!

I have 2 months and 20 days to go and I can't wait! The 3rd trimester began on Sunday and my due date is just around the corner. I have only gained __ pounds at this point, which is good but I really think that's enough! I don't need to gain another 11 pounds...I'm fat already! Hopefully, only 3 of those pounds will go to the baby and she'll only be like 6 pounds (maybe even 5)! Oh, my, that is the scariest thing to think about...pushing that baby out of me! Well, if genetics have anything to do with how much the baby will weigh, she is gonna be a big girl...7 pounds at the least and she could possibly weigh more than 8 pounds! Oh Lord!

I must be having an off day today...the hormones are kickin' and I'm venting like crazy.

On a better note-
Jackie decided Saturday night she would play with my hair. We came up with the do I'm gonna have to keep it out of my face during labor.

HA! Just kidding! I look like Angelica's doll (Cynthia) from the Rugrats. Remember her?! Love it...thanks for a good laugh, Jackie!

A few thoughts...

For the last 5 months I have been receiving my weekly Victoria Secret email with all of their sales. I don't want it anymore but if I delete it then what will I do when I need it again? At first I thought, "OK, I'll keep them, I'll use them again one day." Now, I'm thinking,"I feel like a freakin' house, leave me the hell alone!" Of course, it's not their fault...They don't know I'm pregnant, they just know that I USE to buy a shit load of stuff from them all of the time. I look at my boobs in amazement now and wonder if they will ever be the same?! I wouldn't doubt if the bra I'm wearing is the biggest they have in their store. Thank God for hand me down Victoria's Secret bras! I would never buy them this big, they cost way too much! I think they get more expensive when there is more material. I can't possibly imagine them much bigger than they are now.

OK, so enough about my boobs...SORRY!

The girls Homecoming was an incredibly stressful day for them! Hunter had issues with her bra and then with jewelry. Lauren had issues with me and wasn't in the best of moods. It was an absolute beating to get a couple of good pictures out of them...they aren't very good with fake smiles. I'm grateful for the few pictures that I did get and a few did turn out better than expected.


Neither of them were happy with me at this point but they'll figure out in a few years how meaningful these pictures are! It took about 15 pictures to get 1 good one. My goodness girls...its suppose to be a fun day not stressful! They looked so grown up and it made me feel really old and just a tad bit fat :)

Once the girls were on their way to the dance it didn't take any of us long to figure out we needed to go out to dinner. These girls stressed us out so bad I needed a drink (Pat got to have one) but I settled for some cake and ice cream. Abuelo's was MUY BUENO! We had a few good laughs and scared the crap out of our waiter.(Craig tried to pay with a check) I know we shouldn't have done it but we sure did enjoy seeing that scared look on his face!
