September 17th. (Original title I know.)

KSL report. A mom fell asleep begging on the side of the highway. The baby crawls into traffic, and baby is returned to mom after police interviewed her. They should have realized this baby isn't okay with mom. Hopefully this baby is okay being with mom. I hope this was like the wake up call. that baby would be in foster care had it been in the US.

 Ahh...Foster care. You know, foster care sucks when you have a sad experience? Over all, I know it was good for me, but i hated that i didn't get a family out of any of the families i stayed with. The one i really stayed in touch with, is divorcing right now, and so mom, is by herself and i'm like, oh well there's another family broken because of bad decisions.

Anyway. The 2nd week of preschool went okay. I had a birthing class, a breastfeeding class, and a Doctor appt this week. It feels good to say, i'm almost done. :) the birthing class is stuff i've already researched or learned somehow, so i didn't learn much the 1st class. Hopefully i learn more this next time around. Doc said my back contractions need to stop and if i can't not go to work, Resting after work is mandatory to slow them down to help avoid Premature labor. I think after 37 weeks, i won't be so scared, but right now, i need him to be healthy and IN ME for about 3 and a half more weeks! And you know what, i'm getting sooooo paranoid something's going to go wrong. Annie, I know what you're going to say, you're gonna be fine. But, ANNIE, it's freaking pushing a pot roast thru a nostrol! YOU TRY IT! (HAHA...Get the reference?) Gotta love friends. :)
PS..in my birthing class, i saw the placenta being delivered. Yum. :( Why does anyone need to see that or know it's even there. I say, gross! And i'm like, eating as i watch this video. McCord looked over to me and saw me making the puffy fish face with food in my mouth. HAHA.

Have I ever explained here, how Awesome my husband is? He went to everything with me this week. As i looked around the room in both the Classes, or even when i'm in the docs office waiting to be called, i see so many women alone. And, it's like, for him to be there with me all the time. I LOVE IT! He's so great. I just wish I could spend more time with him at home. I love being at home with him. it's better. More relaxing. Plus i can ROPE him into cleaning with me. For the 1st week at me being at preschool he was cleaning like the whole week. Ahh.... so nice. The 2nd week, i think he's done. LOL. One of our friends, Kilee, she asked him if I was nesting yet, and he told her he was the one doing all the cleaning that week, and she's like, Awww..You're nesting for her. So one day, i came home and the house was messy, and i'm like, McCord, I miss your nesting :)
SO, i need to finish packing my bag, and i need to figure out what stuff to pack for him. I'm SOoo..excited when i do something that has to do with Xander, that i think that's when i'm the happiest. He may not be here yet, but he's like, the thing that keeps me happy and going! Not that McCord isn't doing the same thing. But that's a different kind of love and excitement.

McCord, i keep finding like little things that show his excitement. Like his FB page. He doesn't get on much. He doesn't find it as entertaining as I do. BUT, he's changed his about me Section on there, and here's what it says. "Well, I'm 20, living in Orem with my wife Gabi. We are happily married and will soon be coming up on our 2nd year anniversary and we will soon have a little boy in our lives due October 31. That's right, Halloween."
That's really cute. He never changes anything on that page. LOL. If anything, he'll go on, and change his display picture every once in a while. But that's it. And, on his laptop, it's an ultrasound picture. :)
OH my gosh! I totally forgot, so a lot of my friends came to the baby shower okay? And, there were some that didn't come (Yes i'm holding a grudge to some of you! HAHA.) And, one family that came, was the family that adopted my Neice. She's getting so cute. I thought at first, not the prettiest face, but she's totally getting so adorable. I watch her grow in the pictures and she's so my brothers daughter. And i've gotta say. She's half Korean okay? So, the mom that adopted her, is Korean. And the dad, i think he kinda looks like Nick a lot, so seriously, they look like Kamea is hers. It's great. she's got such nice parents. I talk to the mom every so often, and she's so stinkin' cute and nice. Anyway, so I got to hold Kamea for a while. Who BTW will soon be 1. HOLY COW! Her B-day is in November. I think it's amazing how time flies!

Well, I think that's enough rambling for today. :) I'm getting more frequent at this blogging deal.

PS..I believe all my friends that read this are on my FB except for one or so. BUT, We got a maternity photo shoot done by a cute friend. Katie, and she did really well on our pictures! Here's an example!

 

9/11...

While I do respect the idea of a moment of silence for those involved in anyway, of the tragedy, of 9/11. I do think, it's over...shall we say, dramatized. Not saying that to be un-american in ANY way! Promise! I do believe if you've lost someone in the tragedy, don't forget about them, don't realize that they're gone without giving them proper respect, but i'm totally done basking in the sadness that has turned this country into what it is now. I believe, that we should be done and moving on. (Grieving time, is what 6 months? As someone else told me) No, i'm being a little harsh, so i'll move on.


Today, is my baby shower. Not the work one, Not the husbands moms. But my friends. Which, I'm just a little baffled by. I do kinda wish i could have combined to get them all over with at once. BUT...I'm still grateful that i have so many friends, wanting to help me out and throw these for me. I'm SOOO Grateful.

My friend Kilee, the one doing my shower today, She's being so great and helpful.
My Bestest friend, Pam Colson, she's so wonderful. I think she can tell when i'm just kinda having a hard time, and overwhelmed. You know what her cure is? Buying me shirts and stuff. She's so sweet that way. Here are 2 new shirts she bought me for these last few weeks of this pregnancy! (I may keep them and wear them after anyways. HAHA)

And, Just for old times sake, i found a SKINNY PICTURE! From BEFORE i was married tho!

Okay...i think i'm going to throw up looking at how much of a difference this is. Oh my god. I'm going to throw up. Can anyone PLEASE get me SKINNY again!?

Complaining...about Complaining! GO figure.

Last night, i almost cried, yes, cried, (blaming on the hormones) because my MIL said i complain a lot about my pregnancy. Usually i retaliate with anger, or passive aggressiveness, and this time, it's like, really? Do i? Am i that annoying? I literally feel like i hate myself for complaining so much. My husband tried to calm me down and said i don't actually complain so much, i just talk about it a lot. I have nooo idea which is worse. Constantly talking about how excited and pregnant i am so i am that annoying, or...complaining so much about how pregnant i am so i'm that annoying.

Oh my god i'm so sick of these hormones that i just want him OUT and i just want my normal angry self back! The brain would be nice too, but i guess that never comes back. (According to all those moms that have said no.)

Okay. Since, this is a complaint, really, i'm going to try really hard not to complain or talk about my pregnancy so much to not offend or annoy anyone else. I know how getting annoyed is, and i don't want to annoy friends. That's just...lame.
