The Burn Lotion!

Soooooo to take my mind off the fact that I am still pregnant my sisters "kidnapped" me and took me to the pool to hang out and soak up some rays! It was really a nice day - not too bad - a little over cast! Perfect pool day weather!

Well - all of you know that I am about as white as white girls come! Usually when I go out in the sun my legs are the LAST to get any color! I usually have to go to the tanning beds for them to look a little colored. Well because of that my sister gave me some of her "tanning lotion" I put it on my legs about a half hour before we left the pool. Well......

This is what happened! (Sorry that you have to look at my swollen legs) Everywhere I put the lotion......it BURNED! From the top half of me you can't even tell I was in the sun that much! I've been living with the Aloe Vera with Liticane and Cocoa Butter Lotion. <- They've been my best friends!

Last night was the longest night of my life though! Because most of the burn is on the inside of my leg it was hard to lay on my side....and with me being so big I can't lay on my back! Then the blankets.... (aurgh) Today it is feeling better -but still really sore and the few times Timber has come say Hi - well - I've been close to tears!

On a different note - I have offically started my Maturnity Leave (12 weeks away from work) - but I have another appointment tomorrow morning and if nothing's still happening I'm going to just work half days....until something happens!! I'll keep you all updated!

Frustration!

Ok - yeah - I think it is offically setting in. Everyone and their dogs are having their babies - except for me. (breathe) Girls that were due after me are having contractions - AND I don't think I've had one yet! I shouldn't be frustrated - but at my last appointment I still wasn't dialated OR efaced! And I have been doing EVERYTHING - EVERYONE has suggested. Ok - well everything except for the Caster Oil (yuck) .
ALSO at my last appointment she felt and said Dylan was going to be about 7 lbs some odd ounces. I can handle 7 lbs! I guess one of my worst fears is that I'm going to have to push a 10 lb baby out. 10 lbs = not fun.
Ok Ok - Now I am just whiney! Sorry for all who are reading this! Today is just one of those days ;)

Martha Stewart Eat Your Heart Out!

Soooooo - I don't know what I was thinking - BUT I took a trip to Roberts and got the creative bug. I think now that without my second job I'm having too much time on my hands and feel like I need to fill it with crafts! Watch out! Here is what I started with!
I painted these and then crazy glued the ribbon on - and crazy glued my fingers together! But it was fun! I tried to use more "manly" colors - and Ty approved.
This shows you where I hung it! All that stuff you see in the crib is things I've gotten from other people. Yesturday was like Christmas - my cousin Melissa stopped by and dropped off ALOT of baby boy clothes that her little boy grew out of before he wore. AND then my sister Heather dropped off ALOT of clothes that my sister Stacy had gotten together for me. THEN my mom came over tonight and dropped off some more gifts! I'm getting spoiled! Or should I say Dylan's getting spoiled!

Fun Fun Fun

So I finally got my husband back!!! He was suppose to fly out Monday - and his flight got canceled AGAIN! I was about to die! But then they switched him airlines and where he was flying to and I got him home around 11 o'clock Monday night!
Since then we've been busy with life. This last weekend we went to a Prenatal class at the hospital. Quite interesting to say the least. I did learn a lot of new things - so I think Ty and I are now ready to have Dylan!
Here are the picture's I promised - The Rocking Chair is my mother's day present! And this is the swing that my sister's got for me! So much fun!
This last week I also had my baby shower for work and got lots of cute clothes, diapers, and necessities!

Today is my mom's birthday - and we're about to leave for her party! She's 69 years old today! Happy Birthday Mom!

Crazy Weekend!

Oh my goodness! I've made it.....kind of! This last weekend was a little crazy. Of course from my last blog - Ty was gone - so my sister Heather and my Neice Talley came to stay with me. They really did help me out a lot - making it so I didn't focus on the emptiness of the house.
On Saturday my sister bought a new truck so we spent the day finding just the right one.....which took all day - but it was worth it!
Then we noticed that I was swelling REALLY BAD - and just in one leg. I really did look like the Michelin Man....We actually measured my ankle and it was almost 11 inches - and that was after I had been laying down! SOOOOOO we called the dr. on call and she told me - just to be safer then sorrier to go to Labor and Delivery and get checked out. While there we found out that I'm ok - b/p was a little high - and I was having contractions every 5 min's! I had no idea - and couldn't feel any of them and they were pretty good ones. BUT they sent me home saying to lay down A LOT on my left side and lay off the salt :(

THEN on Sunday - TY was suppose to come home - but because of bad weather his flight was canceled :( Weather is worse today then it was yesturday - so everyone cross your fingers that he will be able to leave and come home!

The rest of this week should be fine - I'm having my work baby shower tomorrow and then then next day we are having a card making party! :) I'm such a girl! I'll keep everyone posted on the happen's though!

I MISS MY HUSBAND!

Ty left this morning for Wisconsin! He is headed out there for a wedding - for one of his best friends from High School. While he is out there he gets to go to our nephew Nolan's birthday party. He is going to have so much fun!
BUT last night - was - WoW! Amazing! My mother's day present finally got into the store so we got to go pick it up. It was a glider rocking chair! Ty picked it out and he did a great job - it matches the nursery perfectly! ALSO my mom gave me some baby presents AND Rubarb Pie (yum) THEN my sister's Heather and Christina surprised me and went in together and got me the swing I really really wanted. Soooo last night Ty and I stayed up ate some pie and put everything together. We didn't get to bed till after midnight - but it was worth it! Made waking up at 4:30 a little hard - but it was worth it! :) I'll get pic's up soon of both my presents!
It's so exciting to see everything come together for Dylan!
