Me and a 3 year old...the 3 year old wins

My little Tyler Jacob wears me out...by the time he and I parted ways yesterday he had half of a hair cut and I had half of a nervous breakdown...

We went shopping yesterday for Chelle's baby shower...and he was good in all the stores...I needed to pick up hair coloring and when we were in Sally's he said he had to pee...so I put down the hair color and we ran up to Dunkin Donuts where he would not pee...so we had to go home so he could pee at pap's house...already a phobia of public bathroom not a good sign...

So decided to give him a haircut...to which he just had a break down in the middle of and wouldn't let me finish...so there he went home w/ literally half of a buzz cut...

Well they came over today so that I could color Kris's hair...he didn't want a hair cut but I told him we'd get soup from panera and he was fine then...cut his hair and jumped in the tub to get the hair off him and off to panera we went to get him soup...he was a very happy camper then...his mom just left when we went to get the soup so when we got back we played outside he rode his big boy bike and he had a good afternoon till his mom showed back up and he got grumpy...but he sure wore out his aunt bubba...

When Zander is here it should be interesting...he'll either act like the best big brother ever...even though he's not Zander's brother...or he's not gonna like it at all...I guess we shall see...

This is boring

Well with everything pretty much all set to go and just waiting for the baby to come it has become boring...i mean seriously how sad is that...room is done...shopping is done...kid is either killing my hip or making it hard to breathe...same old same old everyday...

Work is annoying me as usual...we better work on cases on monday or I'm going to throw a temper tantrum...I cant take anymore "training"...I just want to work and then figure out what I'm suppose to be doing on my own...then maybe I'll actually understand what we were to be learning this whole time...

Alright as sad as it is since its a friday night...I'm exhausted and may just call it a particularly early night

6 more weeks ppl

That's it just six more weeks...how time flies when your pregnant...

So the dr appt today didn't entail a 2 hr hospital visit afterwards thank goodness...heartbeat was fine and I am measuring 34 inches so that's right where its suppose to be...next appt is w/ the midwife to go over a birthing plan...insert eye roll...pretty sure after that they'll ship me to 3N when I tell them I don't want anyone near me while in labor...even better if the nurses and stuff can leave me alone for the most part...and I don't want to hear the word drugs unless its coming out of my mouth...I'm not completely unreasonable if something is wrong and the baby needs to come out then drug me and cut him out I'm okay with that...but otherwise just leave me alone

Yes I realize that may seem odd...and that yes since I have never had a kid the pain maybe worse than I think it will be...but if I start thinking otherwise about pain then I'm just setting myself up for failure...and I believe I said before that I don't know why I would want ppl in the birthing suite with me...they wouldn't be there for any other medical procedure why would I want anyone there for that...it creeps me out...I'm much calmer doing things by myself...other ppl make me fussy and I'd feel like I'd have to reassure them everything is fine the pain isn't that bad when really I'd just want to tell them to get the $#@$ away from me...

Anywho lets talk about how this kiddo won't give my right hip a break...he's either laying on it and it hurts...if he's not he's kicking it...and by that I mean he is kicking the sh!t out of it sending pain shooting thru my hip...its like he knows it hurts and loves to agitate it more...I'm sitting at work and for a good 5 min time span if anyone was paying attention they could see him literally kicking my right side...

Oh Chelle was told her baby was too big and has a big head...so either they have her due date wrong and she is due the same time as me...or she is gonna have a beast of a little girl...considering chelle herself was 11 lbs its not out of the question...but she has to go thru another battery of tests to make sure her and the baby's hearts are okay...if she makes it to her baby shower we'll be amazed...if not we'll be turning into meet the baby shower...

Alright I think that's an update on everything

I Don't Get It

I'm not sure how much more training at work I'm going to survive before coming annoyed to the point of getting snippy...I just don't get why some ppl keep getting suck on stupid things and why when we were to have looked at the cases they gave us at the beginning after each thing we learned that practically no one had or at least not to the point they knew stuff was missing or not right...

I just feel like I'm sitting there wasting my time...come on ppl keep up I'm on a deadline here...we need to get thru this stuff and finish up a littler early cause Zander is due the last week of our training so I'd actually like to have learned what is needed before that so that I'm only missing lab time and reg work when I go on maternity leave...I am already at a slight disadvantage since literally my first 6-8 weeks that were to be on our own working I won't even be at work...though I'm not too concerned with that since I retain information and am already ahead of the class...

Sorry enough whining about that...but at least if I whine here, me being snarky at work may hold off another day

Baby room is DONE!

Sorry I'm behind again on this...but I've very busy getting the baby's room ready...Chad got the carpet laid and I pretty much worked Friday night and Saturday getting everything organized and done...I think Zander is all ready for his arrival...obviously if I don't have it at this point I probably don't need it...he has everything and then some when he gets here I bet I'll wonder why I even have some of the stuff...better be prepared than sorry...

So I'm sure the moment you've been waiting for aside from the 1 pic I posted on facebook here is his room...

Here is the crib from the doorway

Close up from the front of the crib

Close up of inside with the mobile  

Straight shot from the door way

Changing table (yes that diaper bag is packed and ready to go)

Zander's baby talk corner lol

So the only think I need to do is have a bag packed for me and get my work paper work set...but my sup is on vacation this week so that can wait another week...and me having stuff isnt that important I'm fine with some sweats and a shirt in the hospital just gotta be comfy...alright gotta do some work for chelles shower...

Yay Carpet

Chad as I type is laying the carpet in the babies room so maybe I can finally get this nursery out of my room...though we still dont have curtains for the windows...the bedding came with valances but we need some type of sheer that we can put in both rooms...mom doesnt want ivory cause she'll think it looks dirty but white wont look right either...

I will say my ankles and hips have been killing me...okay not killing me but def uncomfy...even when my feet arent swollen my right ankle feels like it needs to be popped out of its socket...but only a 7 more weeks not that long at all...crazy actually

And if we dont figure out what the hell is beeping right now were gonna be sledge hammering walls...its not the smoke detectors...its not anything electrical cause we literally shut off the main power to the house...yet there is this annoying beeping that is coming from somewhere in the kitchen area...its not too noticeable upstairs but downstairs forget it...it wasn't going off when me and mom left for kohls and it wasnt going off when Chad left after us to get the carpet...and dad can't give us any straight answers as to when it started...we think he somehow did it...hopefully whatever it is the battery will die soon...
