I am miserable

that's all I have to say.. I am completely miserable. I want him out of me. I am done.

Baby's take home outfit!!!!

2008-01-14T21:46:00.000-05:00

The first part of this blog is devoted to Shane. Shane is a wonderful step dad. He went and picked up my furniture and loaded it. He fixed Roger's car and saved us a couple hundred dollars. :) AND he endured hours with my mom shopping at babies r us looking at stuff he doesn't even care about.. I bet mom wouldn't even let him play with the toys! Anyway, he's awesome ;-)

Second part.... Roger and I went out today to the mall. He got to pick out the baby's take home outfit. It's super cute!!! Here's the pictures.

Some exciting news! Mom, grandma, and grandpa all came up over a 2 day period to help clean my apartment. It is now spotless thanks to grandma's cleaning obsession. The baby crib is all put together, the living room looks much bigger, and the baby's clothes and blankets and such are all washed and put away!

On Sunday Roger and I went to see Juno and out for lunch. We had some down time so we went to Once Upon a Child. We found the cutest bedding for only $60 so we bought it. I'll post pictures at the end of his new crib :-)

Classes started back up today. Wow did winter break fly right by! I didn't even have time to think! I only have class Tuesday and Thursday morning so it isn't so bad. Anyway, here are the pictures....

Movie!!! :)

Cutest Baby EVER!

2007-12-31T14:06:00.001-05:00

Here are 4 of the best 4D pictures we have :D He's so cutest baby I've ever seen and he looks JUST LIKE Roger!!! Poor guy haha just kidding ;-)

We also have a DVD of him moving about and the ultrasound itself. However, my computer won't allow me to save it to my computer so I can upload it onto the net.. SO I videotaped the DVD playing on my computer and now I am editing it and making it really pretty and I will post that when I'm finished with it! So far today I've spent 3 hours working on my computer getting these pictures up and working on the DVD. My scanner didn't work so I had to uninstall and reinstall the hardware. I had to download all the new updates for my computer so I wouldn't have issues later AND I've been messing with the stupid DVD to try and get it to copy... Neither Roger's PC nor my MAC will do it! Agh! But alas, here are the pictures for now. He's so cute I cried when I saw him :-)

To both of my sets of parents and my favorite grandparents and to Roger's parents: Merry Christmas!!! These pictures and DVD (as soon as I can get someone to burn them for me you will get a hard copy in the mail) are your Christmas presents. We hope you like it. :-)

Stressed!!!

2007-12-28T09:37:00.000-05:00

Ugh I feel awful! I woke up Christmas eve with a sore throat. Then, I wake up Christmas day with a cold!!!! I spent this whole pregnancy NOT being sick and here I am with 45 days left and stuck with an awful cold! BOOO!! I was so careful too! Constantly washing my hands, not sharing any food, drink, lip balm, nothing with anyone else. So frustrating!!! >:-0

Christmas was awesome!!! My parents, grandparents, and aunt and uncle bought me a crap ton of kitchen stuff. I was so excited about it I washed everything as soon as I got home so I could use it lol. Mom also got me new makeup which I desperately needed. This pregnancy has made my hormones awful. I break out worse than a teenager!!! Anyway, I love my new makeup :)

Corbin also got a big box of Christmas presents from great grandma and grandpa! Someone must love him ;-) haha. I really want to wash everything and play with it, but I'm halfway worried that he is actually a she... I keep thinking, what if we saw the umbilical cord and not his manly parts? However, I saw it and well... It definitely was there. I guess I'm just all paranoid. Hopefully my paranoia will be cleared up soon ;-) It's not a huge deal to me really if she wears boy clothes. It's not like they are cut differently and babies all look unisex. It's hard to tell until they are older lol. Oh well. We'll see.

If it is a girl, we DO have a name so no worries there!

I need to get ready for work so I will update later.

BTW tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY! Don't forget your pal Brittany is going to be 22, pregnant, and cranky! Who wouldn't want to make my day better?

50 Days!! Update with pictures :)

2007-12-23T22:43:00.000-05:00

So it's been a while since I have been able to update.. ok, well remembered to update it. I did really well in school this semester with 5 A's and 1 B!!! My GPA went up .3 which allows me to apply for Teach for America!!! I am trying to enjoy my last vacation as a 'single' person, however, due to work I am NOT enjoying it :( I'm too tired to do anything but sleep after a shift. I don't know what to do and I'm so torn! I really want to quit just so I can relax and not be in pain everyday I work, but I love all my Scotty's people so much that I don't want to not be able to see them. I also think I'm in denial with myself. By quitting, I'm relying solely on Roger to support me until I graduate. He wants me to quit and he already does take great care of me, I just have a hard time letting him do that for me. I'm also sad because I'm working on my birthday :( I'm going to send out an email and see of someone will trade me shifts. I feel like all I ever do is complain about work and I don't enjoy it anymore. I honestly only enjoy laying on my couch or sleeping. I also enjoy eating, playing wow, surfing the net, and watching Friends and Sex and the City DVD's.

My new haircut!

I'm getting huge!!!

another pic of my hugeness..

I'm so excited for Christmas Eve and Christmas!!! Grandma food and presents??!?! Huzzah!!!
I also got a great package in the mail from my dad! I love the presents!!! The jammies are wonderful, the air freshner smells great, I love the giftcards (will come in handy when I want to go eat after the baby!!!), and the lotions were wonderful too. :D Thank you so much (from Roger and I). We really loved our christmas presents :) I know some of it was my birthday, but regardless lol.

The baby moves constantly or so it seems! He is always squirming about in the early AM and late night (like now!). Roger and I are taking Rob to the airport in the morning and we have to leave at 5:45 AM so he can get there on time to catch his flight and get through security. I'm exhausted to begin with, let alone getting up so early and dealing with 2 grumpy boys!!! ARG! Okay, well I'm off to bed so I can at least function halfway in the morning. Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays!!!

64 days to go!

2007-12-09T18:13:00.000-05:00

School is *almost* finally over. I have two finals left (Mon and Fri). If I do well on my history final tomorrow (mon) I will leave with either an A- or a B, but more likely with the B. I have a final in my political sci class that determines whether I get an A or a B and a paper grade in my other political sci class that determines whether I get an A or a B... Man it sucks being between those two! I'm hoping for A's on my two pol classes. The history, I just want a B. We'll see...

Right now I'm waiting on Roger to come get me so we can go see the Golden Compass. He's hanging out with Rob so we'll see when they come get me. I'm starving and I'm kind of pissed at him. He said he would wash the dishes (didn't), wanted to know when I would be home from work (5), I get home and he isn't here (which is why I didn't grab a bite to eat on the way home. I figured he would want dinner so I would cook, oh "I already ate like an hour ago" -gee thanks), and now I've been waiting for 30 minutes for him to come get me! I'm hungry, I don't feel like cooking just for myself!!!!!! He needs a good kick in the ass. Too bad I'm too small. I'll just bust out my raging hormones. *still waiting* Boys are so stupid half the time. Like, where is your brain? I know you aren't stupid.

I'm exhausted and this baby is killing my back! I gimp around everywhere! I can hardly stand to walk and shift my weight because my sciatica nerve hurts so bad!

I'll type more later. I have a headache and I want to kill Roger and Rob. They are not my favorite people right now. >:-0

E-mail from Target

2007-12-04T14:12:00.000-05:00

I did not get the job. I am really surprised, but looking back at all the people I was competing against I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Maybe it was me? Now I'm just discouraged.

69 days left!!!

2007-12-04T09:17:00.000-05:00

I haven't had the chance to update for a while because of school. I finally got all my papers and exams out of the way except for one paper. It's due on Thursday. Next week is finals and I have three. One on Mon, Wed, and Fri. I'm so done with school. I know I have another semester left, but I am DONE for now. I'm just so tired :(

We had a doctors appointment yesterday, but she had to leave so we rescheduled for tomorrow (Wed) at 2:15. I'm nervous because Roger won't be there with me and quite frankly I find my doctor to be a little terrifying. I actually went prepared yesterday too with lots of questions. I didn't gain any weight between yesterday and my last appointment. I go every 2 weeks now. It's weird to think about him as an actual human instead of this thing in my stomach that kicks me and makes me giggle. He had a dance party in my uterus the other day. So Roger comes to bed at 4 AM and I wake up because the baby is going nuts in there. I have Roger put his hands on my stomach to feel it. In my lower left he was kicking me and in my upper right his hands were going to town. I don't know what the kid was listening to, but it was hilarious! For 20 minutes nonstop I felt like a host to some cool club I wasn't invited to.

I decided I will miss some parts of being pregnant and now I know why people want more than one.
1. justifiable cravings. Whoppers with cheese, hold the tomato, onion, pickle, add ketchup, mayo, and mustard... anyone?
2. feeling him kick me and having dance parties
3. good excuses for being late and lazy
4. seeing Rogers face light up when he feels him move
5. the hair on my legs just does NOT grow! I don't have to shave for a month.. seriously, I don't

Things I will not miss and reasons why people do not have more than one
1. sciatica pain OMG!
2. loss of center of gravity I am a clutz to begin with I don't need help falling!
3. brushing your teeth = loss of blood
4. brushing your teeth = puking for no reason
5. Contractions are painful!
6. weight gain
7. constant urge to pee
8. pee your pants for no reason
9. baby brain. They say it doesn't exist.. they lie!
10. your favorite foods cause heartburn and sour stomach. I'm a tums addict
11. Leaking. That's all I'm going to say about that....
12. I haven't had a martini since June. Roger knows that if he doesn't come to my side with a martini and a big plate of sushi as soon as Corbin is out, he's in trouble.

Speaking of, we decided to name him Corbin Wesley and since neither Roger nor I can keep secrets, well big secrets, we ended up telling everyone. My hosties at work call him Corby and now I do too. lol It's cute!

I had my job interview at Target last Thursday. I'm supposed to hear back from them within 7-10 days. Keep your fingers crossed!! I really want that job! I also hope my grades are good enough to raise my GPA so I can apply for the teaching job I want too. I hate this waiting game. Everything around me is wait wait wait! Wait for the baby, wait until after christmas to get anything ready for him, wait for my grades, wait for school to be over, wait for christmas and my birthday, wait to hear back from jobs, wait wait wait! AH!

I'll update more later.. Leave a comment if you love me because I love to read them and know I'm not just idling along wasting my time ;-) *like I have anything to do but wait anyway!*

Nothing Much...

2007-11-16T12:48:00.001-05:00

...to update on.. I'm just sitting here waiting for my next class to start and I'm trying to avoid the fritos... I doubt I can for much longer.. Actually I can't.. brb need some chips. Ok so that machine is so annoying! Everytime I try and buy fritos it says make another selection... WHY? I paid a dollor.. they cost 85 cents.. why can I buy them? I've only lucked out 1 time this whole semster in getting them. Enough to make me want to scream... So instead I'm sitting here eating baked Ruffles... "Smart choices" I don't want a smart choice I want the fat drenched taste of chili cheese fritos!

Other things I hate.. leg cramps. Seriously omg the pain! I usually jump out of bed and try to straighten my foot and leg... *ouch!* farting.. could I do it any more? Oh yes! In public... Was that me? Roger, "I can't take you anywhere you are so embarassing!" Toilet paper... can you make it any softer? I mean you for pete's sake make a special brand for us preggos that go constantly! BTW 1 tsp does not signify a full bladder... What is wrong with my brain and body? I finally got to big to comfortably sit in the seats at WTHR 200... 3 weeks of suffering here I come!

Well the baby decided he likes my ribs/lungs/stomach area.. I can't wait to breathe and eat normally again! I ate nutella for breakfast yesterday.. usually one of my favorite foods. A couple hours later I started getting heart burn (I pop Tums like they are candy)... it was time to get on the bus so I brushed my teeth and ended up vomiting all over the sink. I was so grossed out by the taste of pukey chocolate and toothpast I ended up getting sick again from that smell/taste. I got to class and got sick again! I walked in the room and both my teacher and a friend looked at me and said, "wow brittany you look like hell." Thank you. I felt like it and I excused myself from class and called Roger to come get me.

The next two weeks are going to suck so bad. I have a paper due on Tuesday (before Turkey day) then I work Fri, Sat, and Sun (mind you I already requested an availability change because I NEEDED time off) then the week we get back from break I have this..
Monday: doctor's appointment and paper due
Tuesday: exam
Wednesday: nothing!
Thursday: paper due and exam
Friday: paper due (15 pager too!)
Then I probably have to work all weekend again.

Gah I hope some of the hosts take my shifts for me. Aren't my next 2 weeks fantastic? I think so too!

Not much else to say.. I have to log off to go to class now. I really want a chocolate milkshake and I really want baby to stop kicking my ribs.. Stop hurting mommy!!! :'(

We finally decided a name!!! We'll announce it after he is born.. and no Christy no matter how much you ask I won't tell you. ;)

Update

2007-11-09T12:54:00.001-05:00

I haven't had a chance to update this thing and since I have an hour break between classes, well here it goes!

We had our doctors appointment Nov. 1. I've only gained 4 pounds, blood pressure is normal, etc. I had to do the diabetes test. So far I haven't heard anything back so I am assuming I am ok? My blood type is A+ and Roger's is O+ so baby will either be A or O (+ or -). I also got the flu shot for the first time in my life. Roger and I are supposed to start looking for pediatricians and sign up for any type of classes. I honestly don't know how I feel about birth classes... I'm pretty good at relaxing myself and I've done enough reading to understand how to breathe during the process. We go back Nov 19th (mom's birthday!) for our next appointment then after that we go every 2 weeks!! Wow time has flown by so quickly! I've definitely hit the 3rd trimester. Sleepless nights? Leakage? Aches and pains? Baby brain? yup. You name it I have it. Not to mention the random times where if I dont find a bathroom and FAST I might cry or worse, pee myself. Oh yeah, stretchmarks? Got those too! I am happy about one thing though, my belly is finally bigger than my boobs!!! Tradeoff? I can't see my feet anymore. Oh well who needs to see those? Forget putting on tennis shoes. I wear my birks. If they don't match my outfit, I don't really care.

We have a list of names (finally!)
Wesley (Wes)
Leland
Jude
Corbin
Tyler
Dylan
Owen
Quintin (Quinn)

This last leg of school is going to kill me. I have between 6-8 papers due.. all between 5-15 pages each.. due on or before Dec. 6th. I'm going to work tonight and talking to the managers. Either I get a leave of absence until semester is over or I'll have to quit. It's ridiculous. I work 15-18 hours a week and I have 18 credit hours. I NEVER have a day off, my house is a mess, I'm so stressed I randomly freak out with anxiety attacks and can't breathe. Not that I make any money anyway. I make about $130 a week.... Roger makes that much on Saturday alone. It doesn't seem worth it anymore.

A couple girls in my class want to throw me a baby shower!!! I'm so excited and happy I can't contain myself!!!!

Roger and I went out to dinner a couple nights ago. We went to Red Lobster and I had crab legs and a very tasty glass of wine. It was soooo nice and relaxing to go out and enjoy myself. Then, we went to Target and made a baby registry. We're going to make one at babies r us too. We finally picked bedding as well. We're going to go dinosaur theme. How cute right? I was thinking unisex bedding, but since Roger only makes male counterparts (according to him anyway) I see no need for female stuff. ;-)

Last post for the day.. I promise...

2007-10-31T15:50:00.000-04:00

25 WEEK BELLY PICS ARE HERE!!!! Not really, I just took the time to take a picture or two of myself... It's hard to get a good picture.. Again one is diferentiating from one body part to the next and the other is just a normal picture. I don't look so 'fat' anymore. At least I hope not.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning at 9:15. I'm supposed to be tested for diabetes and I get to drink that lovely sugar drink! I am so excited about it... can't you tell?? As usual, Roger can't wait to hear the heartbeat (neither can I, but since I feel him constantly, it's not as exciting for me as it is for him). I'll update tomorrow after the appointment. Hope I pass the test!!! I don't think I could handle diet restrictions.. I like brownies and ice cream too much! ;-)

Ultrasound pictures from 17 weeks

2007-10-31T15:39:00.000-04:00

You'll have to forgive the odd picture with my fingers.... My scanner (for some reason) won't work... so, I had to take a picture of the picture to put on here... YAY!!!! for pictures anyway! Isn't he cute? I carry his picture with me everywhere. I wonder what he looks like now? Roger and I really want to get 4-D pictures done and a DVD, but we need to see how much it will cost. The 4-D (I heard) are best for 28+ weeks, so we have 3 weeks minimum to decide.

Belly pics!!!

2007-10-31T15:21:00.000-04:00

The first picture is at 20 weeks. A halfway there celebration if you will :)
The second picture is at 23 weeks.
The third picture is what happens when I do not distinguish between my ever increasing boob size and belly... I just look like a cow.

Welcome to our blog!

2007-10-28T13:32:00.000-04:00

Welcome to our blog for our baby! Currently we are 24 weeks and counting! He is getting huge and loves to squirm and kick. I finally caved (weather made me rather) and bought winter maternity clothes. So far I have 2 new sweaters, 2 tanks to layer with, kaki pants, grey dress pants, 2 long sleeve tees, 2 jeans, a new peacoat, and a fleece pullover. Target and once upon a child are my new best friends. :)

Honestly, I feel like a cow. (MOOO!) I've had a couple people ask me some really rude questions such as, "doesn't it bother you that you aren't married and having a baby? What will the baby's last name be? You don't look pregnant at all!" Seriously? It honestly didn't bother me at first that I wasn't married until that person mentioned it. Why wouldn't the baby have Roger's last name? We are getting married so why wouldn't the baby have his last name? And while I appriciate the comment about trying to make me feel like I look great, you really just made me feel fat and I had to excuse myself before I burst into tears. I am already super paranoid about what I look like.

I will have to write more later (and post pictures!) but right now I really would love a hot shower. I have 2 hours before I have to be at work and I plan on looking fabulous!

Work is another topic I will get to when I write more... along with rants, raves, food, bras and lane bryant, dry scalp, world of warcraft, getting the house ready for baby, freaking out about the baby, dreams, and sleepless nights. Probably more, but that's off the top of my head.
