New Baby pics!

I went for another u/s today and left with new pictures of little Bean! :) It was so awesome watching the baby jump all around, wave, kick, etc!! What a difference a few weeks make!

I hate Kayne West.

Ever since the whole bashing Bush, I really can't stand him. I've never liked his music, so it has never been a big issue. Until now. Now I hate him because I actually like his new song (Love Lockdown) and I hate it that I like it. ::shakes head:: It's very frusterating switching stations when there's a song on that I like to listen to...but forbid myself from liking it all at the same time. Am I just mentally insane? ;)

HEARTBEAT!

So....

TODAY I HEARD BEAN'S HEARTBEAT FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!!!!

:)
I'm SO excited!!! I heard it first this morning, and then lost it when I told Mike about it. But then this afternoon I found it again and just sat and listened to it for what seemed like forever. :heart:

Just wanted to share!

Craziness!

So the day starts with a crazed madman running around on the westside with a rifel and scope (and military training to boot!) setting houses on fire. !!!! Oh, and it's around 26th behind Tops...with police baracades set up...on the block of Livi's daycare. !?!?!?!?! So long story short, I stayed home with Livi and Mason today...and let's just say my patience was gone an hour into it! All they did was fight and bicker all.day.long. UGH. Once Emily came and picked up Mason, Livi and I went upstairs to lay down for a nap....and that's when her freak out began. She cried for almost half an hour (27 minutes to be exact) about how she wants her Daddy. :( We called Mike at work, and that just made her worse. We finally fell asleep and she kept crying out in her sleep about him, and woke up crying and thrashing for him. Luckily he was home within 20 minutes of her waking up though.

I think I want a drink. Ok....I know I want a drink, I just can't have one. ::pouts:: But I think I'll settle for Roadhouse ribs. :)

Perfect weather!

We woke up and went to breakfast at our fav place....The Breakfast Place. Lol. They have the BEST pancakes around! On the way home Livi kept talking about playing outside...and it's the perfect day to do that! There's still a bit of snow on the ground, but it's really not too cold out...perfect for a winter playtime! So we got all bundled up and headed out. Even the dogs had a great time! Here's some pics from our fun day at home. :)

It's so nice when the wind isn't going crazy...the cold is almost tolerable! :)Livi loved swinging on the swings and the dogs love us being out there with them. And I think Livi will be a soccer star this summer as she LOVES kicking the ball around!

I love this!

Shop till you drop (your pants)by The Sarcastic Journalist

I started buying maternity clothes the second my pants felt a little tight. It didn’t matter that the reason they were tight was that I had just consumed a large meal; I was pregnant and needed an entire new wardrobe!
Only problem? All those large jeans belly panels aren’t meant for a 10 weeks pregnant woman that consumed an entire cake because “the baby needed it.”
Shopping at a maternity store before you’re really showing is somewhat embarrassing. It’s kind of like all those times I bought bridal magazines without a ring on my finger: You know most people think you’re just jumping the gun.
Every time I’d walk into one of those establishments, I’d try my best not to make eye contact with the women with big bellies. Even though, in theory, we belonged to the same club, it seemed they were a little more qualified to search for pants with belly panels than I.
But, what’s a girl to do? Invest in a nine-month supply of sweatpants? Walk around with my pants unbuttoned, just waiting for the day they fall down to my knees?
No, I’d buy my pants and try them on with the “fake belly” pillows they leave in the dressing rooms.
Just don’t ask me to model my new outfits outside for everyone to see.
