water breaking

Ahahahaha got you all! my water did not break. However, we did have a flood. The drain hose to our washing machine came out... awesome! so it soaked the floor all around the washer and dryer. Carpet was nice and gushy, our giant pile of laundry that never gets folded and was over-flowing got wet, it went through the walls and floor and dripped into the garage... like I said. Awesome. I thought the High-Efficiency washers were supposed to use less water! this was a lot of water!!! I'd hate to see a regular washer flood... On the plus side we have a Shop Vac!

 I really think I'm going to become a Shop Vac sales-person. I could not love an item more. (really. I use the shop vac to clean the bathroom. I know this is admitting the sad state of our bathroom when I finally get around to cleaning it... but I blame the dogs for shredding card-board and Casey for not cleaning is beard trimmings out of the sink) Anyway, the shop vac sucked up A TON of water. All of the water on the linoleum and all the excess from the carpet. Casey's been wanting to get the carpets cleaned... I think we can check that off the list! As I have recently begun to waddle (sssooo sexy) and I'm finally getting a smidge uncomfortable (at 38 1/2 weeks I think that's fair... so I'm not complaining!) Casey tried to make it so that I had nothing to do. He took the Shop Vac and wouldn't move the washer and dryer so I could do that area. So I just got to stand there and watch most of the time. Finally he had to lift things so I got to man the shop vac. yay me! Then we put a fan on the carpet and by this morning it's what I'd call damp. I'm hopeful it'll be almost dry when we get home from work. Anyway, this blog post is more just to vent my rage... stupid stupid flood. And now we don't know if our floor is going to rot away so hopefully I won't be come home to a hole where the washer/dryer were and have them chillin in the garage. Hope ya'll are good! go buy a shop-vac! :D
Oh and for the update I'm sure you were hoping for; I'm dilated to a 3 and 80% effaced  (this was Monday). So little Moon could come any time!

News Flash

So I've recently discovered some things. here they are

• Master Chef- I hate that I love it.
• Pawn Stars and Storage Wars. They're SOOOO stupid. why can't I stop watching?!

(I would like to insert here that I blame Casey for all three of these shows. I would love to just read while he watches them but I CAN'T look away. It's like a car accident.)

• I have inheritted my fathers neck. wide and short. It makes finding the perfect pillow a challenge.
• Strawberry watermelon gatorade is the bees knees.
• People notice you more when your pregnant. Oddly enough it seems to be men who do most of the staring.
• I'm getting better at remembering names. It's like a miracle.
• 7 year olds over share. (we now teach primary. it's been interesting so far.)
• Xena: Warrior Princess is still awesome (even with the bad acting.) I want to be Lucy Lawless.
• I read too much. OK this isn't exactly a news flash but since I've been averaging a book a day (don't judge too harshly. Mostly they're $0.99-$3.00 so they're usually only like 200 pages), I've realized I really need more hobbies. Or any other hobbies...
• I get giddy everytime I see a preview for Magic Mike. Stripper Channing???!!! it's like my crazy pregnancy dreams have been turned into a reality.

And while I'm sure ya'll don't care I felt like it'd been too long since I posted. So there you go. The very intense workings of my very complex mind.

Hormones

You know, I'd heard about pregnancy crazy hormones but I think until you experience it, you just don't know. Casey and I would joke that maybe when I got pregnant I'd have finally be a girl. Maybe I'd finally cry about weird things (or anything at all really... I cry about twice a year. Usually once is because of a TV show.)! Or get mad at him for things that weren't his fault. Those are the types of things we were expecting. Well... I'm sad to say there have been no tears and Casey is as wonderful as ever (even if he won't let me lift ANYTHING. even grocery bags).
What I have been experiencing is RAGE. Okay, it's rage for me... My friends and co-workers have informed me that for a normal person it's mild anger or annoyance. Apparently I'm generally mild mannered. But, now things that would normally make me go "you idiot" and forget about them, I am now am enraged for like an hour thinking about the stupidity of the person! Like the guy who almost took out the front end of my car yesterday and then 30 seconds later caused an accident. If I could have safely stopped you would have been ripped a new one in person instead of just out my window. And I was still riled up an hour later when Casey called me.
Also, people who generally annoy me, now they better just stay out of my way. I always have a lack of filter on my mouth, but because I like most people that's fine. Now... yikes. It takes everything I have not to say something.
The other one is anxiety. I now feel anxiety. I think this is fairly new to me. Sure sure like anybody else I'd get a little anxious over a big test or being dropped from the skycoaster at Lagoon.  But when the dog dropped a nearly-dead mouse at my feet; I think I came very near a panic attack... I had to put my head between my knees and hole up in my room and breath for like 10 minutes. I'm feeling anxiety about things that I KNOW normally I wouldn't. Someone please tell me this will go away? I don't like it.
Now for a funny story; The other day me and Casey go to California Pizza Kitchen, the hostess asked us, "would you like a table or a booth?" I say "Booth please" and Casey smiles and says, "Do you still fit in a booth?" Moon!!!! I punched him and then we both laughed forever after we got seated and I realized there was like a fingers-width of space between my belly and the table. Sad day, I'm going to have to become a table sitter! booths are so much better :(
I also turned to Casey the other day and asked in my most horrified voice "oh no, do my boobs look bigger already?!" and he says "can they get bigger then ginormous?" Not helpful Moon! but it did give me the giggles for the next couple of hours. So did this;

The monkey tail! It took me Months to talk him into it. He must love me though because he did it! you can't see it very well.. from the side it looks fairly normal. then he turns his head. What was even better was that he didn't want to leave it because he was embarrassed so then he did this:

The Porn-Stache! . He looked like a huge creeper. I couldn't look at him without giggling. he got a lot more crap about the porn-stache then the monkey tail. He's going to kill me for posting that picture. hehe.

And that's all for now! some day I'll post pictures from my birthday trip to Jackson Hole!

bloggity blog

This post comes because of my boredom at work. I apologize. As I begin I'm not even sure what to blog about. My intense fear of becoming a mother? especially if we decide I'll be a stay at home mom (I'm not domesticated. AT ALL. oi.), My serious dissapointment in the realization that Casey totally wears the pants in our relationship, My weird morning involving a dead mouse and a man doing the farmers nose blow, or I can always stick with the classics such as how cute puppies are. I really love puppies. I like to make lists. Maybe I'll make you a list. So heres a list of my favorite action movies. These are the movies that despite how many times I've seen them, and despite the fact that I own some of them I ALWAYS watch if they're on TV.

• Rocky IV. So much love. it makes me want to run up a mountain.
• Fast and the Furious. All of them, except tokyo drift. that one blows. Fast Five gives me an extra special thrill because of Dwayne.

• Die Hard. Again, All of them.
• Gladiator. On a side note this was the first rated R movie I saw.
• Star Wars. I know I have not made my love for these movies a secret. Except episodes II and III. blah.
• 300. epic.

• Lord of the Rings. yes, I know, my nerd is showing.
• the Patriot. so sad that they kill Heath. But what a goody of a show.
• X-Men. Again, So very cheesey but I can't help but love them
• Terminator. All of them. They're all cheesey goodness.

I can't resist a picture of Arnold.
And that is all.

Happy World Down Syndrome Awareness Day!

I know I'm a day late but this is so ridiculously cute even heartless ol' me thought of tearing up! This is my sweet niece Abby and I love her to pieces!!! Also, if you haven't ever visited my Sister-in-laws blog do so. She's a hoot. She's also passionate which is something I tend to lack. If your reading this you're on my blog so just look at the blogs I follow and got to Mostly True Stuff. Thats her. :D Enjoy!

AND THE WINNER IS.....

The winner of the bet is.... ME!!! (Of course.) We're having A BOY!!!! So I get final say on the name... I made sure to rub Casey's face in it the second we walked out of our ultrasound. The sad part is that Casey is always so much better than me. He had his list all ready to go, with a bunch of cute girls names we both liked. I have 2 names on my list. And now Casey is trying to brainwash me by calling the baby the name he likes. He's a poo. Anyway, just thought I'd share the news! I was going to wait til I remembered to post a picture, but is it weird to post a picture of my unborn babies man-junk? Is it weird to celebrate man-Junk?
In other news, I have finally let Casey start working on the nursery remodel! I use the "finally" very loosely. Casey wanted to start buying stuff and working on the room the second the stick gave us plus sign. But to be fair I'm not due til the end of July! I kept putting him off by saying "not until we know the gender". Now we know the gender... uh oh. He's already set up the crib, put up bead board (caulked it, painted it, etc..), made me help pick out a color scheme (thanks Missy, and the cute bedding and Babies R us), bought paint, and installed canned lighting on a dimmer switch so the lights don't wake the baby and his clumsy wife doesn't hurt herself. He's done most of it all by himself while I sit and cat call at him. He's such a yummy handy-man. I've learned that I am an excellent caulker, and that using a tape measure is way harder than it looks (I'll be making Casey do all measuring of rooms, or anything farther than 3 feet, from here on out). And I'm sure I'll be posting pictures when it's all done. On a side note, If you need any paint, we went a bit overboard... sooo.... we have white, gray, blue, yellow, and orange.  we'll be done with them soon and you're welcome to them.
ITS A BOY!!!! :D

V-Day

Alright, let me begin with my negativity. I HATE Valentines Day. I think it's a stupid holiday based on consumerism. But hey, whatev. Maybe Casey just spoils me too much year round. Or maybe it's another holiday that plays with my inability to buy presents for other people (I'm the WORST). But I thought in the spirit of the season I would take note of some things I've been loving lately. Not the normal things like family, friends, Casey, etc.. but specific things. so here we go

• The way Casey's face lights up when he talks about the baby
• The way Moose checks on me, no matter how far he has to come to do it, every time I cough or sneeze. He won't leave until I say "I'm okay".
• The way Casey will wake up and pet the Skills to calm her when she's having nightmares. sidenote: What do dogs have nightmares about??? Lions and Tigers?
• Rain Berry Gatorade
• My doctor (Dr. Nance) who calls me back within a half hour even if he's not in the office that day.
• Live basketball games. We went to a Jazz game and our nephew Rylans game (he's 11) and I Just love the whole atmosphere of any kind of live game.
• Tangled. I think I could watch this movie every day and giggle through the whole thing.
• Gogurt. What a convenient invention!

Alrighty, that's all I can think of for now. Hope ya'll are loving life! :D happy Valentines Day.
