Miscellany Monday

Linking up with Carissa today

*We had friends from Tennessee come in this past weekend. I'm exhausted. We had so much fun and of course I didn't take any pics.

*My brother, Paul, is getting married this week. None of us are invited. And I don't blame him. He and his fiance Laura are going to Vegas to get hitched, then flying into Tulsa Thursday night. We finally get to meet the little lady. Very excited for him!

*My other brother, Joe Clay, will be flying into Tulsa August 2. He's been deployed for the past few months. yay!

*I'm ready for the 3 of us to be together again. I don't think we've been together since Christmas 2009.

*My bff Brandi will have a 1 year old this Thursday. Her daughter, Cailyn, turns 1 July 28.

Seriously, how cute is this kid?

*I had false labor for a good hour yesterday. Not cool, baby. I had this sudden urge to, uh...go to the bathroom. Brandi sent me a pic of why this was happening:

*And here's a pic of Kevin from The Office signing my baby belly

*And also one of Jason Kidd and Ray Ramano

33 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 33 weeks, 2 days (8 months)

Size of baby: Baby is around the size of a pineapple (19-22 inches, 4.9lbs)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: up 22 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: most everything

Gender: girl

Movement: lots and lots and lots. The movement is getting lower and lower.

Sleep: I'm sleeping less and less. I'm not as exhausted as I thought I would be.

What I miss: running for long periods of time/working out hardcore, beer, and sushi.

Cravings: air conditioning and cooler weather. :)

Symptoms: I don't know what was going on with me yesterday. I had a lot of pressure in my pelvis and lower back. If they were Braxton Hicks (false labor), then they were supposed to subside if I move positions. Or at least that's what the books say. I walked for over an hour while trying to get ready for my maternity shoot with Marie. It took about an hour and 10 minutes for them to go away.

Marie took these yesterday:

only Marie can make you look good when you haven't showered, had false labor for over an hour, and it was still 100 degrees outside :):):)

Sleep: I'm doing ok on sleep.

So What Wednesday

This week I’m saying SO WHAT if…

-I totally pimped my belly out at the Celebrity Golf Tournament last weekend. Recap coming soon.

So what if Tony Romo's wife looks super expensive? She wore a tiny dress to the golf tournament. TINY dress.

I love Kelly Ripa

Just thought I'd mention that since I'm watching Regis and Kelly right now.

I ate this for breakfast the other morning. Ok, I ate like 5 bites. We had breakfast at Hash House a Go Go.

My breakfast had mashed potatoes in it.

Nate's hash

We couldn't even make a dent.

What are you saying SO WHAT! to this week?

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. I am a (morning, evening, middle of the day person) morning person. Early to bed, early to rise, makes one healthy, wealthy, and wise.

2. My favorite Pandora stations are Simon and Garfunkel.

3. 3 of my "must-have" songs for a road trip playlist are I don't have any "must-have" songs...but late 90's early 2000's rap is great. Nate Dawg and I have a competition to see how white we can be while "rapping".

 

4. My favorite pattern is paisley. I used to hate it, but now I love it.

5. My favorite perfume is Marc Jacobs: Daisy or D&G: Light Blue or Escada: Into the Blue

6. Rules are usually there for a reason.

7. My most overused phrase or punctuation is literally. People use it incorrectly. "She has literally lost her head." No she hasn't. She figuratively lost her head. Get it right people.

*The crib is put together. We do not have a mattress yet. But at least the crib is put together properly. Mostly thanks to my parents. Go us!*

 

So What Wednesday

This week I'm saying SO WHAT if:

-I deleted my blog for less than a week. Long story, but I felt like it.

-It made me happy when 3 people asked me what happened to my blog. Hi Haley! Hi Ashley! Hi Marie!

-We leave for Tahoe Friday for our babymoon. I haven't checked with my doctor to see if I can even travel right now. Whatev. There are hospitals everywhere.

That's all I've got for now. What are you saying SO WHAT to?

So What Wednesday

This week I’m saying SO WHAT! if…

*I ate half an apple pie for lunch yesterday.

*I actually CAN believe the Casey Anthony verdict. Not that I agree with it. If we were in Vegas right now, I would be a rich, rich lady.

*I think both attorneys in the case were not good. I mean, I watch enough Law and Order: SVU to know what a good attorney sounds like. And they ain't it.

*This is tacky. This is the funniest tweet from yesterday:

@HaHaWhitePPLAmerica's Hero

So was Nicole Brown Simpson's family when your dad got OJ off. RT @KimKardashian: CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!! I am speechless!!!

*I'm jealous of everyone that gets to name their new baby girl Hadley. I love that name, but Nate Dawg doesn't.

*We still don't have a name for our baby.

*Her nursery is not ready.

*I have not packed for the hospital.

*I am not "prepared" for baby as some might think I need to be. But I don't care. My baby won't judge me. Right?

*I think Casey Anthony needs to cut her pony tail and donate to Locks of Love. There could be MANY wigs made of that mess of hair.

What are you saying SO WHAT to?

SUMMER LUVIN' SATURDAY

Norman found a turtle on our front porch.

He was barking like there was an intruder, and sure enough, we had a turtle scratching at our door.

We went to a 4th of July party (on July 2nd) and had smoked pig.

Nate finally found the hornworm that has been eating his tomato plants!

Then he made me a virgin mojito!

and brisket!

and Norman posed for a pic

Saturday Morning Scene

*yawn*

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. The best news I ever received was either when I found out I was pregnant, or found out we were moving back to Oklahoma

2. Something I'm looking forward to is this 3 day weekend with Nate Dawg.

3. Something I would never do is   intentionally hurt my family.

4. If I could choose someone to be my life coach (famous or not, living or dead), I'd choose Lindsay Lohan. Just kidding. I feel like I have a slew of family and friends that are my current life coaches. I choose all of them.

5. If I had to put a label on my style it would be maternity. duh

6. One should always   smile

7. I want to   get a massage. My back is sore.
