31 weeks, yay!

Today I am 31 weeks pregnant. Still feels like forever away, but it is coming very fast. My baby shower is in a couple of weeks and I am super excited! Today, Rory is taking me to Village Inn to give in to my cravings for crepes. Silly, silly. Last night, we had all of our friends over and played Halo til three in the morning, yes I am dying from tiredness now. Haha! Rorys car payment is not due til July, which is awesome! That saves us four hundred a month for now. I was looking through all of my pictures and realized what a great husband and family I have. They would do anything for me and I love them so much. Logan is kicking up a storm, and I can tell he is dropping. When I stand up, there is so much pressure that I feel like I could fall over. Oh well, it just makes it feel that much closer. :)! Austin is now in Afghanistan. Scary, but it is actually going to be a good experience for him. He is going to offer a lot of smiles and laughs to the other troops and people of Afghanistan. That makes me happy. We have started setting up Logans room. It is so fun to do. I am so happy to be having a family with Rory. It is so cute how excited Rory is getting. He loves when Logan gets the hiccups, which has been a lot lately. It just makes me so thankful for what I have. Well, better go get ready for BRUNCH! :D

30 weeks

I am so done being pregnant. I want him here with us now! I am so sick of contractions that aren't going anywhere, peeing all the time when it is the most unconvenient time, heart burn that wakes me up gagging me and puking. I guess this will all be worth the suffering in 8 weeks. Logan is doing wonderful. He is growing and kicking more and more each day and it just keeps reminding me how close it really is. I think after the baby shower is when it will slow down the most. That's okay though, gives us enough time to get everything perfect. My nestning is off the hook. You will never see such a clean house. It seriously has been detailed cleaned every day for the past three weeks. I LOVE cleaning now. So weird. I love cleaning smells too. Odd. I guess it is because of my iron deficiency. I was wondering how my iron is so low, I take so many vitamins a day its crazy, than my dear Rory checked and found out my vitamins have no iron in them, that explains a lot. So Austin officially left for Afghanistan on monday. Sad day. Karlee went to San Diego and surprised him for his birthday and they had a ton of fun. I think that is just what they needed. I know he will be okay. He called this morning from Maine, his plane was heading off to Ireland, lucky boy. After Ireland he goes to another country for ten days, than off to Afghanistan. Let's hope this time flies by for everyone. So Stephanie will be having her C-section the week Logan is due, which means their is a great chance they will be born very close together, if not the same day. That would be exciting. I have been taking a short break from photo shoots lately because of my contractions. They come for hours on end, and than stop. The doctor says it is because I am doing to much, but I can not help it! I just really would not want to go into labor in the middle of a shoot. Oh boy. I could deal with them if they were Braxton Hicks, but these are full on " I am ready to get out of here" contractions. Thats okay, I will deal with them, I have to. I am hoping though that they will discontinue, and he will come AFTER the baby shower. Rory reallllly wants me to hold off til June, I just don't think Logan will be happy about that :). Lately, Rory and I and our friends started in on Halo again. I guess its a good down time thing for us. Lately we have been doing so much, it is nice to just sit back and relax. Halo Reach is coming out in May, and we are all wayyyyy excited! Finally! May is a good month, baby Logan is due, new Halo, lots of good movies coming out. So Rory and I are thinking about refinancing his car so we can pay it off even faster than a year. It would be like 7 months. We have been doing excellent with money so it works out perfect to send extra payments each month. We got me a credit card so I can build my credit enough to get our self a loan for our big Surprise in Feb. I am extra excited! Well, gotta get on putting ads! Talk to you all soon!

29 weeks

I am now twenty nine weeks and 5 days. Woohoo! It's going by so fast. The nesting has hit, and it hit hard! Our bathroom, room, and the rest of the house is always spotless. I swear I clean everything spotless every day. In fact, I went through all of our stuff and threw a bunch out. It feels good to be so organized. So last friday I started having contractions and they were really close together. I had not realized what contractions felt like, and put it off as Braxton Hicks. Turns out, they were full on contractions, I think they were brought on by to much work. Anyways, I feel like labor will be coming before what the docs are saying. My baby shower is coming up and I am super excited! It will be good to catch up with family and friends. Rory is going to go paintballing with a few of his friends that day. I am so excited for Easter. I just love the day. I am doing some Easter pictures this weekend, I am way excited. I love doing shoots, it is a great thing to get paid for doing what you love! Baby Logan is moving away right now, and it is so fun to watch and feel. I decided it was time to clip my toe nails and paint them. It took me about an hour to clip them because I can not see them and it is so uncomfortable to bring my feet up that high. When Rory noticed my struggle, he came to the rescue and painted my toe nails, beautifully as well! He also did my finger nails. He is so sweet and I love him so much! Now, if I can just get him to shave my legs :). So I got my glucose test done, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The drink was disgusting, and the blood test was as good as it could be. I start going in every two weeks now, and time is flying by! Tonight, Rory, myself, Jared and Marci went bowling. I actually did good and got the same score as Rory. Of coarse, it was one of Rory's lowest scores, 100, but hey now, not every one can be as good as him! Haha. I am off to bed, tomorrow will be a long day!

Figured it out!

I finally figured out how to remove and block followers. Finally. I can not understand why she was following me in the first place, but it's okay because she can't any more. I really don't understand why she won't stop involving herself with me. I don't want anything to do with her, nothing at all, which is why my contact with her has stopped. You would think she would take the hint. I deleted and blocked all contact with her, and yet she finds a way to look into my life. I don't say anything about her to anyone, because I DON'T care enough any more. I moved on with life, why can't she? She is dwelling on this so much, still. I don't say anything about her, nothing that she keeps saying I said. I would be wasting my time talking about her. The only thing I have said is that she is stalking me, which would be the absolute truth. What ever though, maybe she will get the point now that she is wasting her time doing this.


Anyways, tomorrow is David and Afton's birthday party. I am excited, not sure why! Haha. Some one is on their way to buy our last Yorkie puppy, finally! We bought two for $150 each, sold one for $650, and finally after three weeks of having this poor guy, sold him for $425. We still made a lot of money on him, which is good. We are sending three hundred of it to Rory's car, which puts us up another month we don't have to pay. Woohoo! Tuesday is my glucose test, bleh. Not excited. I started having either really painful Braxton Hicks or contractions the other day that lasted four hours, every so minutes. I am afraid that on tuesday when I tell my doctor she will want to check dialation. No thanks to that! Haha.

Well gotta go!

Ha!

ROFL!!!!!!!!

So freaken hot in here!

So I am sitting in bed, editing my life away, and burning up! It feels like a million degrees in here! Rory is fast asleep, lucky boy. My throat is on fire! So this week was tough, but I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. It all falls in to place. I know Austin will be fine, and I know everything else will be as well. I was talking to Rory's little sisters the other day who are both in highschool. They were going on about the fights they are having with their friends, boyfriend problems and the typical girl stuff. Totally makes me incredibly happy I am past that. I remember middle school was tough for me. I could not fit in where I wanted, and I think a lot of that was because of my self. I didn't try enough. I am so glad that stage in life is OVER! I am so glad I am where I am today. Rory has made my life perfect. I am so glad I can move on with things that need to be put away and I can look to the future instead of repeatedly looking back and bringing it up. Rory and I went and did the registry this week. My baby shower is soon, and I am getting to the point I just don't want to walk around any more, so it was best we did it now. We are doing the shower at my moms house this time, because when I had my bridal shower at Rorys mom's house last year, their was so many people! With all the friends and family I invited combined with Rorys family, I was being smothered! It was a lof of fun though. We also registered our car and paid a few more car payments. That felt awesome, and it is great because we are not due for another til after Logan is here. Hopefully we can keep this up and get it paid off. I am so over that car! This weekend is David and Aftons birthday party, and we will be getting all of everyones family together. This should be lots of fun. Thousands of people rubbing my belly, oh yay. Tiffany and I were sitting on the couch talking the other night about things to tell people when they touch your belly. We came up with some good ones! I wish I was mean enough to say it to people. Gosh, Rory and I were selling a dog the other day and this lady was just rubbing away at my tummy like I was Buddha or something! She didn't even ask if I was pregnant til after her rub fest was over. I just though to myself, what a weirdo! This month, I am doing an old friend of mines senior pictures. Her name is Racheal, and I am also doing an old friend of ours named Megan. It is weird, I use to hang out with these girls in kindergarten! It will be good to see them again! I am also doing a family shoot, and sibling shoot for another family. I love doing shoots! I have been nesting like CRAZY lately. I clean the toilet every flippen day. Rory is always flipping out on me saying I shouldn't be working so hard because I am pregnant. PSHHH! Dr. Oneida is always telling me to rest when I can, but it is hard for me to do. She got upset when I mentioned that I swept, mopped and vacumed. She said that was to much strain. What? Are you kidding me? I am pregnant, not parapolegic! Haha! This Tuesday is my glucose test, so fun! Not! Also, not looking forward to that scale. I for some reason lost another two pounds, Dr. Oneida won't be happy. She says although Logan is healthy and safe, I am not healthy weight wise. What can I do though? If the puking won't stop, neither will the weight loss! I eat like a cow all day long! Hopefully this pregnancy is only hard because its a boy, or its my first, because Rory wants more babies and I don't know if I can handle another nine months of puking! :). Joking of coarse. I can handle anything! Ha ha! I know I write to my self all the time, no one reads this, but it is so good to be able to look back and read all about what happened this week or last. Rory loves reading it too! It is like my online diary for the world to see, if they wanted to of coarse! :). Well, better get back to editing!

Tough day.

Today Austin left. It was extremely hard for us all to say goodbye, so instead we told him see you soon! Because we will. It is sad how much he is going to miss out on, but we will make sure that he gets double the fun when he gets home. Luke knew something was up. He was not like him self at all today. Very fussy. It made me sad. Austin cried, and thats when the tear fest began. I knew we all would. It was so hard, but I know his safe returning will be here soon, and he will have lots of love and people waiting for him. Rory said he wouldn't cry. I knew that was a lie. As soon as they hugged good bye Rory turned to me teary eyed. I can not blame him. It was so hard. I am really going to miss his twisted sense of humor and the laughs he gave everyone who was in the room with him, but I know he will be making the troops and people of Afghanistan laugh, and they need it most. Austin is a brave, couragous, strong, hardworking, confident Marine, and I know he is going to be okay. I can not wait for baby Logan to meet him. This seven months will be long, but his safe return will be here. God bless our Troops and every thing that they do for us.

27 weeks

So I am now 27 weeks. Time is flying by. I am so excited for him to be here for us to hold, cuddle, love and cherish. Rory and I set up our room for the crib and all the baby stuff. It just makes it that much more surreal. He is now finding ways to get to my ribs, and I am pretty sure he loves them! He pokes and jabs and pulls at them. I must say, it is painful and annoying, but I can't help but love every one of his kicks. Right now, Austin, Karlee, and baby Luke are down. Austin is here on is two week leave before he is deployed to Afghanistan. Karlee and Luke will be staying here for now, until Austin returns home. This is going to be a tough week, I will admit. I am already dreading Sunday when Austin has to leave. He will be leaving for seven months, which is not to long, but the thought of him gone with out his family by his side, hurts. I am very confident in Austin, though. He is a very brave man with lots of courage, dignity, and self respect and I confide in him for all that he is doing for his country and our freedom. I know he will always return home safely to all of his family here. It will be so incredibly hard to say good bye, but I know he will return with arms wide open from all of us who love him. In the mean time, Austin took Karlee up to Park City for the night, and Rory and I offered to baby set Luke. He is such a good baby! Rory loves him so much, and it is so great to watch these two play and laugh at eachother. Right now, Luke is fast asleep on one side of me while Rory is on the other side sleeping as well. Rory is going to be a great dad. He has opened up so much with all of the kids around here and loves them so much. I love watching the laughs he can get from them. My photography business has been doing great, and I have been packed with shoots and editing. I decided to take this week and weekend off so I could spend time with Austin before he leaves. Austin, Rory, Dj, and Marcus are going paintballing tomorrow, and I know Rory is way excited for that. Rory and I have done some researching on the business we will be starting in the early months of 2011. Hopefully fully opened by feb. of '11. We are not going into to much detail, but we have applied for the loans, and bussiness license. My mom has been helping us a great deal with that. We have been doing so great with money (knock on wood!) and plan on paying off our car in the next five months. That will be a huge relief. Well, better get going to bed! Love you all, night!
