The Final Countdown!!! & Random Ramblings

That song reminds me of homecoming! I think it was my Junior year! Anyways.... only 6 days left people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The following 19 (ok maybe not that many) paragraphs are just random ramblings. If you don't want to be bored, then don't read any further.

I have had a major case of insomnia since Monday! I just lay in bed and my brain is going a million miles a minute thinking of last minute things I need to do and playing the stupid what if game. (Yes I think of worse-case scenarios and say to myself what if this horrible thing happened, what would I do, then I reenact the scenario in my mind until I'm crying. Just a horrible bad habit I have.) Some things I thought of while not sleeping... where am I going to change the baby's diapers in the middle of the night? What is Tray going to do when this baby comes home and doesn't leave? How am I going to run errands with two kids, one that throws tantrums when having to sit in the shopping cart, and where am I going to put my groceries in that cart?

I don't know if I'm nesting or if I'm having the realization of not being very capable of doing things after the baby comes but I have been cleaning. Today I washed all the walls upstairs and the cupboards. Tomorrow I plan on bathing the dog so I can scrub out the tub. I also need to take down all my decorations from on top of my cabinets and clean those. Yeah I'm nesting. Tuesday I have huge plans for a final deep clean! Who wants to come home from the hospital to a messy house?

Today to keep myself busy, Tray and I went to the dentist. I just had to get a routine cleaning. And Tray just ran around the office and tried to steal one of those hook scrapper things! I also got a big chunk of paste in my eye! I could fill the gritty paste on my eyeball, and it hurt like heck! Then we ventured to the grocery store for what will be my last grocery purchase for a while. I stocked up on easy to fix meals that Travis or I can just throw into the oven (frozen lasagna).

I did have a strange dream this morning. I dreamed that I went to go have my c-section and it was being preformed in my basement that was in the middle of being remodeled. I was mad at Travis for forgetting the camera so I got up off the operating table and walked through the sawdust to get the camera. Then my doctor came walking through the frame of a bedroom and said he was ready to get started! I hate pregnancy dreams! But I really hope we don't forget the camera!

If you have made it this far, thanks for being interested in my crazy ramblings!

The Big Day!!!!

We went to Dr. Housel today! Why does it only snow when I have to go to the doctor! Grrrrr! My last appointment until we meet our baby in person!!! We scheduled the big day for Wednesday, January 30, 7:30 am. How exciting to have an actual day to count down to!!! Dr. H said that he thinks she weighs at least 8 pounds!!! He says I hide my babies and they are actually bigger than my belly lets on! We did get a good look at her face today and she has chubby cheeks already!! I forgot to ask if he saw any hair on her but I'm sure she's bald as can be! I still had him check me and I'm not even close to going into natural labor! I think my body is broken when it comes to that stuff! We painted the nursery last weekend. I've still got a few little things to hang up on the walls to decorate it, but other than that it's good to go! I've been going over my lists of what I need, and I think I have all I need for my baby to survive! Except for (I'm going to vent a little) today I went to Wal-mart to get a nursing pillow with a gift card I had. Nothing fancy just something to help her not lay on my incision. So I got it home and it smelled like plastic and gross and I always wash my baby stuff first. So I followed the instructions, washed separate, low dry, blah, blah, blah.... So I go to put the cover on the pillow and the dang zipper breaks!!!! I am so pissed!!! I am for sure taking it back to Wal-mart and if they don't take it back, I will unleash the pregnant hormone beast on them! What a POS!!!! But I don't want to spend a lot of money on a nice pillow!
Well the countdown begins.... 9 days left!

A change is in the air!!!

After 8 years of employment, Travis finally has the opportunity of leaving Wal-mart distribution to become a member of the Nucor family!!!! We have been diligently praying for this change to come! What a testimony builder this has been for the both of us! When I finally reached the point of staying home full time, we realized that it was going to be harder than we thought living on one income. We knew that something had to change! After months of praying and fasting, attending the temple, and relying on faith, our answer came yesterday! We know there were many people that were also praying for us and want to thank them also! We are so excited to start a new chapter in our lives and what a way to start it!

Baby news.... Being the crazy pregnant woman I am, I braved the huge snow storm Wednesday (the 9th) and traveled to Ogden for my appointment. (I didn't know it was snowing that bad when I left, it wasn't doing anything in Tremonton.) My baby has finally decided it was time to turn to the correct position! She was measuring big, but the Dr. thought he just had a weird angle on her! We didn't pick a date yet because we were waiting to hear about Travis's interview results. I go back on Monday and we will for sure pick a date then. I'm guessing around the end of January or 1st of February. We will see!!!!

Happy Birthday Trayton!!!

I can't believe my baby is 2 today!!! It feels like I was just pregnant with him. (Ok maybe that's because I'm really pregnant) He is growing so fast and he is so smart and funny! I love being able to stay home with him and really enjoy these younger years. Next thing I know, he'll be in highschool and want nothing to do with his mommy! We had his birthday party yesterday with our families! He was spoiled! Here are a few pictures of the joyous occasion!

The birthday boy! He opened all his presents by himself this year!
My favorite toy!!! My new slide! Thanks grandma and grandpa bronson!
Blowing out the candles before the birthday song is over!
Look mom! No hands!

Aunt Kylie pushed his face into his cupcake!

Happy Birthday Trayton! I love you!

10 years ago: I was in 9th grade. I remember my birthday party from this year too. We hung out at my grandma's shed and I kissed Trevor Arbon on the way home.


5 things on my to-do list today:
1. Go to work - Accomplished
2. Use my gift card at Everything Your Heart Desires - Used 1/2 of it

5. Chocolate Turtles

5 Things I would do if I were suddenly made a a billionaire:
1. PAY OFF DEBT
2. Buy Travis some 4 wheelers
3. Have a new outfit everyday for both of my children
4. Give money to my family
5. Have an awesome food storage system

3 of my bad habits:
1.The same as Sadie - Not folding the laundry until a few days after it has been washed and dryed. If it's not in the dirty clothes or hanging up, check the dryer
2. Biting my fingernails. I even bite when there isn't anything there
3. Reality TV - I have a show almost everyday that I watch!

(I'm a looser! The furthest I've lived away from my family is PROVO!!!)

5 jobs I have had: 1. Cafeteria Worker 2. Stylish Designs 3. Journalist 4. Telemarketer 5. Accounting Clerk

5 things people don't know about me: OK! I took almost a week, but I finally thought of some things!
1. I HATE the quiet! I have, have, have, to have noise in the background. I'm sure Travis hates this because he will come home and all the tvs are on and the radio and I am no where near any of them! I don't know if I'm just scared of what I might hear if I actually listen or what! But I hate it!
2. I have a kitchen OCD! I have to have everything put away in the correct spot! If there is a pan that isn't stacked in the correct order I redo them all. Same with tuperware! I have limited space in the kitchen so if things are put away just right they won't all fit!
3. Unlike my mother, I hate cleaning! I know how to clean and when I do it I do a dang good job. But that gene of cleaning the floors everynight, and scrubbing the toilets everyday skipped me! I wish it hadn't though!
4. I'm 25 years old and still get nightmares from scary movies! I can barely watch previews of scary movies! Like that new movie the "eye" I have to change the channel when it comes on! I know they are fake and all that but I cannot phsyically watch a scary movie or I will have nightmares for days!
5. My hand has been cut open with a butter knife! Yes, a knife that can barely slice through bread has broken the skin of my hand before. Keep in mind that it was hurled at me by my maniac sister!
