Torn apart

So Bud left this morning to go out of town for work until late Friday night or maybe even Saturday. This is the longest we've been away from each other since we started dating almost 2 years ago! The longest time apart for us before now was only 24 hours! We both hate being away from each other like this. We were talking earlier and even though it could seem like just a normal day so far, it's not because all I can think about is coming home tonight and being by myself all night! I hate sleeping without him too. I don't know what I will do. Luckily, my mom lives close by, so I can spend some time with her and if I'm totally lonely I can stay the night over there. And as for him, he told me he just hates being so far away from me. He's having a hard time too. Especially with me being pregnant. Not that we're worried that something will happen, but it's just the thought of leaving his pregnant wife. So we hate it and it hasn't even been a day! I think I made him feel even worse (not at all on purpose) when I said every time I think about being at home by myself, it makes me want to cry. It doesn't help that I'm totally hormonal too. He said, "oh no, don't do that babe"! It's going to be a rough couple of days, but this too shall pass and we'll reunite this weekend!

Come home quickly baby! I love you!

Hair, belly and a bad little boy

OK, so I know some of you have been dying to see what I've done with my hair. So here it is!


And here is the current belly shot. I'm just about 25 weeks now, which is just about 6 months. All is well so far. Except the new back pain that has hit me. My whole lower back, right butt check, right leg and right hip are always in pain. This baby is going to be big cause I am already big and I have 3 more months to go! I'm going to go visit a chiropractor sometime soon to relief some of this pain and also...my doctor said I can take....drum roll please...vicodin! Bless her! She says I can take Tylenol too, but it never seems to work for me and I'd be popping them every 4 hours because this pain never lets up. It hurts to sit, stand and sleep. I need something! Other than that, everything is good. I had to be poked again today for my sugar test. I made another appointment do get another ultrasound to get more pictures of her heart (and to make sure it's still a girl!). She is such a wiggle worm that they didn't get really good pictures last time.


And this is what happens when Son is a very bad boy. He thinks when Bud gets up at 4:30/5am that it's time to get up and play. So as soon as Bud leaves, Son climbs the cabinets in the kitchen and gets up on the counter. Where he decides to tip my glass over and spill my water all over the counter and floor. So I jump out of bed, smack him and bring him in my room with me and shut the door. I have to lock him in my room otherwise he'll continue to get into everything in the family room. So I get back in bed and just when I think I find a comfy spot, Son starts running through the blinds and digging at the carpet. I had enough, so I took him and through him in the bathroom and shut the door. Finally some quiet! When I woke up and opened the door, this is what I found.

He like Q-tips! What a naughty kitty.

Praying for a little relief

OK, so my lower back and right hip has started really hurting and I think I'm just totally out of alignment. I see my doctor this Friday and I hope she gives me the OK to go see a chiroprator. It makes sitting, standing and sleeping pretty painful and I feel like I just need a good pop and I'll be good. I try and stretch it, but I can only go so far before my growing belly gets in my way. I pray I can be fixed soon.
On a positive note, I chopped my hair today! I love it! It's so much lighter and healthier. It will take me half the time to do, less then half the shampoo and conditioner and not to toot my own horn or anything, but I look so much better too. I think I just looked refreshed or something. I'll have pictures on Friday after my appointment. New hair and current belly picture!

Goodbye Hair!

I'm cutting this...

because this...

and this...

DON'T MIX! I will post new pictures of my hair cut and my 6 month belly on Friday.

Not the kind of houseguest I like

WARNING: THIS IS A POST ABOUT NASTY BUGS AND SUCH, SO IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH OR CAN'T STAND READING ABOUT NASTY STUFF, THEN DO NOT READ THIS. I'M MOSTLY POSTING THIS FOR FOR MY OUR RECORDS, BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO READ ON IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT!


OK, so last night we came home from a late night dip in the pool. It felt so good! We had been swimming earlier in the day as well since it was SO hot, but it was the perfect thing to do to cool off before a shower and bed. So we come home and I jump in the shower. A few moments later I hear the faint voice of my husband calling me. I said, "Are you calling me? I can't hear you. Come in here so I can here you."
"We have a problem" Bud said.
"What do you mean we have a problem? Come in here and tell me. What are you talking about"?
"I'm coming" he said.
I stood there wondering why it was taking him so long to get to the bathroom. What is he doing, I thought.
He comes around the corner very slowly and says, "Look at Son's water bowl"!
At first I was looking all around and didn't know what I was looking for. Then I saw it!! A bunch of little white worms were wiggling in his water! GROSS!!!! I was so grossed out and freaking out not knowing what them were or where they came from.
I immediately was so concerned for Son because I thought for sure they had to have come from him. But how? I told Bud to go look through Son's poop and see if there was anything in there. He might have had worms! How they would have gotten in the water bowl? I don't know, but we needed to search everything!
I finished up in the shower and went to help investigate. Mostly that consisted of me telling Bud where to look and to take everything out. Since I wasn't about to touch anything cause one, I'm pregnant, and two, ew! There was no sign or anything anywhere else. We found one worm on the counter, but it was from when Bud set the water bowl up there. We put it in a bag and I began to really look at it. IT WAS A MAGOT(sp)!!!! NASTY! How in the world did they get in here and how did they get in his water bowl? I was so astonished by this and did not understand! We are very clean people so it's not like we let something go rotten and they started feeding off of it. Ew, the whole thing still gives me the heebie geebies!
So this morning I called the Vet in worry that what if he licked one up while he was drinking. The Vet told me that what sounds like happened was that a fly came in and laid some eggs. And because it was in an area that is mostly undisturbed, they hatched and that's how they got there.
I'm happy to know that nothing is wrong with him and it's ok if he accidentally ate one.
This, oh course, does not remove the grossed out feeling I have and the urge to go through and completely disinfect my entire house! So gross.
I love house guests, but not that kind!

Our Wedding Album!!!

Ok, so almost 8 months later, we finally got our wedding album! Totally all my fault too. We could have had this months ago, but I delayed putting it together. I finally got it together and it turned out fabulous! I love that it is the magazine style too. The pages are thick and the pictures are flush with the page. It's actually printed on the page so there is no picture glued or pressed on a board or anything. It's fabulous. I don't know if everyone can see the pictures very well, but maybe that's a good thing. Let's keep the flaws out of everyones eyes!!! Here it is!





















Reunited and it feels so good!

On Mother's Day, Bud took me out to celebrate a couple things. One, he got a job and we have money now!! Two, it was mother's day and because I'm with child, it was my first mother's day and he wanted to give that to me. So we went out to dinner and a movie. Seems like the total cliche on a date, but it was just what we needed. We're somewhat simple people, but also, we haven't been able to go out together and have any kind of date with each other because we haven't had any money, that it was just perfect! We were able to sit and relax, enjoy a dinner out with just the two of us and we didn't have to worry about not having money. What a blessing that was. It felt so good and refreshing for both of us to get out! We really enjoy our time alone outside of our everyday home life.
We had some time to kill after dinner and before the movie, so we hung out at Barnes and Noble for a little bit and had had some Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. Yum! We arrived at the movie theater a little early so we took action in the arcade. A few rounds of Deal or No Deal had us all excited!

We didn't win. We're not very good at it, but who knows, it's a video game, so it's probably rigged. We had a great time. Here is our date night picture. It's so terrible. I don't know what Bud is doing. The angle of his head makes it look like he had some serious botox injections. We need to take more pictures together. It's been forever since we have and I don't like that. Of course, we haven't been doing anything lately for us to take a picture. OK, well anyway. It was a perfect night and it felt so good to go out with him!

So dramatic!!!

OK, so cute little Son has been very funny the last few weeks. He just falls down and rolls over on his back and just stays there. I've never known a cat that likes to lay on their spin so much! It's weird. But it's so funny because he'll just be running around and then all of a sudden he falls to the ground. He keeps up entertained. So here are just a few shots I've been able to get of him. Oh and some with is "Banky".






He has also been really cute with me lately. I haven't been able to get any pictures yet, but he loves to get up on my tummy and chest and laying down on me. He use to not do this. Bud swears he can feel Izzy, but I don't know. We both agree though that he knows that sister is coming and he knows he's not going to the baby much longer. He always manages to get on me when I'm trying to do something. He has to be in the way and has to have all the attention. I'm surprised he's not on me right now. Maybe I'll get a picture soon!
