Ren Fest

This past Saturday we went with our moms to the Renaissance Festival. I had a lot of fun looking at all of the different costumes. We got to see a couple of shows, which I wish we could have seen more. Apparently you have to plan out your entire day, you can't just show up and fly by the seat of your pants. Good to know now...I expected the festival to be more family oriented than it was. In fact, I saw a woman wearing a chain mesh costume with only a g-string on. WOW...We won't be taking our children there any time soon and I'm pretty sure Keith has a knot on the back of his head after looking at her. HAHA. If you happen to go, check out "The Ded Bob Sho" (Yes that's how it's really spelled)

"Rock the Casbah....."

Ok so it's been a while, but I am getting better. It could have been another month! :) I'm officially 16 weeks along, which makes the baby about the size of an apple. I love how every website of books compares the size of your unborn child to a piece of produce. It makes me want to go to the grocery store and find what they say it is.

Last night was somewhat interesting. As I started to drift off to sleep, I started feeling something in my stomach that made me think it was twitching. I laid rather still because I was comfortable, for once, and didn't feel like moving. The "twitching" continued for a little bit off and on. I do believe I felt the baby moving around in there. That was SO exciting.

We had a doctor's appointment early Wednesday morning with my new OB/GYN. I really liked him and felt comfortable with him, so hopefully I'm making the right choice. Everything checked out well and they did a doppler of my tummy. The nurse found out the my baby is a VERY active baby. (Is it possible to diagnose ADD before birth?) I loved hearing the "swoosh swoosh" of the baby's heart and just knowing that so far, so good. Keith had actually found a doppler at Motherhood Maternity that records what you actually hear. I think that would be pretty cool to show the baby as he/she gets older.

I am absolutely loving this weather! You probably think I'm crazy, but rain is so relaxing that it makes it hard for me to get out of bed in the morning. I'm very happy that it's cooled off a bit also. We're going to the Renaissance Festival tomorrow with our moms, again thank goodness for the cooler weather! I've never been to this event, and I'm not quite sure what to expect. Lots of food wouldn't hurt :)

Oh yeah!!! Probably some of the greatest news I have is that my Uncle Rex and cousin James came down and fixed my car. I am officially mobile, and am able to stop at the drop of a dime! I couldn't be more thankful for having family who cares so much to help me when others can't. Thank you guys so much!!!

Tonight I will try to put up so past tummy pictures, as well as what I look like currently. The title of this blog has no special meaning other than that stupid song has been stuck in my head for the past 2 days!

Jobs and Blahness....

Well this week seems to have been a bit of a drag. Keith and I are both becoming a little bit frustrated with our jobs. He hardly ever sees any customers which can make his days lonely when his assistant manager has his two days off. I'm becoming agitated with every person who comes up and questions but has absolutely NO intention of buying a new phone. It's such a waste of time!!! I understand that the past couple of weeks have been financially tough on the majority of the people in our area and we're seeing the ripple effect but this is just getting ridiculous! I went nearly an entire week without a new activation (our biggest and pretty much only goal) which is really sad since I was the sales person with the highest number.

I am happy to announce that my motherly instinct/nesting is starting to kick in. It's about time!!! I've been getting onto Keith a little bit about our spending habits especially with how slow it's been work wise since we are both paid off commission. The most important thing for me lately has been eating dinner at home. In general we would go out to eat for pretty much every meal, but this past week or so we've been cooking. It's practically impossible for both of us not to have fast food for lunch but I've been eating small snacks to try and keep me and the baby happy :)

GOOD NEWS!!!! We went and exchanged me car battery for a new one on Tuesday. I was so happy at how easy it was since I had just bought my new one in APRIL!!! Now that's just absurd to have a battery die in 4 or 5 months. At least in my opinion. I'm still having to wait to have my brakes fixed. So if you live in College Station and see a blue Jimmy (looks like a Blazer) coming at you, you might want to get off the road! HAHA

I don't have a lot of baby news right now. I'm still experiencing a little nausea every once in a while, which I'm sick of....no pun intended. I definitly feel like I'm peppy---er. It's been nice having just a little more energy and a lot less crankiness. I'm sure Keith agrees. I feel like we've been really enjoying the time we spend together even when it's running a ton of errands. Those are the days I realize how I happy I am with my life. When you can be completely thrilled to just do boring tasks with someone, that's when you know you love them! AWWWW


Anywho~ Enough sappiness.....have a great evening guys!
