Another few weeks…

10.28

I’m still making it! I was off work today for a doctor’s appointment and not feeling 100%. Just a sore throat and my ears hurt but no fever, so nothing to worry about. Dr. Reaves says that everything looks good!

Mike is still looking for a job so that’s still really stressful. He has been doing a lot of DJ gigs to make up for it. And he has gotten A LOT done around the house that never would have gotten done if he was working. But now enough is enough he really needs to find something.

And since I was sitting home all day I have lots of countdowns! Coming up first I have 15 more working days until my VACATION! Second 22 more days until New Moon comes out! Third 30 more working days until my due date! And Fourth 52 more total days until my due date!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo Exciting!!!

And its a little late but here is my 30 week belly photo.

Pimp and Whore Diaper Party

10.24
It had been a year since the last Pimp and Whore Party so I decided it was time for another. This year I added a diaper party in hopes this would give the boys a way to do something for baby since they won’t be coming to the shower. And we got some diapers!!

I went as a pimp and a hoe, which was me dressed as sultty as possible with a pimp onesie attached to my belly. Mike borrowed a white suit and jewelry from his father and looked pimp. And we looked good! Lots of people came out and were dressed up, we even had someone in an ape suit.

We had a great night but let me tell you it’s a whole different party completely sober. I had to work that day and getting up at 7:00 and staying up until 3:00 did almost kill me. But the pictures are worth it!

All in all I say it was a successful party. Only one thing broke. We had less than 10 spills. All pukers made it to the bathroom. And everyone made it home safe.

So It’s Been A While

10.09
Life has been busy over the past month! Let me quickly recap what’s happened over the last month: I have pasted the 100 day mark, gotten lots bigger, I now weigh more than Mike, football season has officially started UT is making me proud and the Cowboys are embarrassing, I have ordered and gotten all the baby furniture, Mike has painted the nursery, and we celebrated our 2nd anniversary by going to the State Fair and getting a 3D ultrasound.

Wow! So all of these things have been great and the best was the 3D ultrasound. I was kind of skeptical about it but I am so glad we did it. Jay gave us really great face shots and was really moving around and showing off. So far people say he looks like Mike but he has big lips like me. Towards the end we tried for some feet pictures, because Mom loves the baby feet, and he was a little tired of being poked around so he started to kick the probe back. When he pushes into me and gets to close to my tissue the pictures come out cloudy so we had some trouble with the feet. Getting pushed on from both sides for 10 minutes is a very interesting feeling. But finally he pulled back a little and we got some photos. He also rolled all the way around while we got to watch and it was very cool to get to match the feelings I get with his movements. And Mike spent his time closely watching and counting and he says we have all 10 fingers and toes. We left with a 50 min DVD of the entire session and a CD with 150 pictures. The bumps on his head are from where the probe is sitting on him. So below are some of the best photos and some more photobooth photos.

The stressful things going on are mostly work related. Mike is looking for a new job in a very stressful situation. And at my work Cathy is being difficult and uncaring when it comes to the last few weeks of my pregnancy. According to her having access to a chair makes me incapable of performing my job. I feel like she is trying to run me out before my leave so that she can hire to replace me. So I might have a HR fight coming up in my future. And the flu is going around like crazy at my work. Several people have been hospitalized. Mike and I went and got the flu shot and I haven’t been feeling so good the past two days so I have not been at work.

But at this point I’m 30 weeks, so 10 weeks left with a week of vacation so only 9 more weeks of work left. I can do 9 weeks of anything, so bring it on Cathy!

We have a Name!

9.9
So after over an hour of negotiations, which include room colors and who gets the final say in future kids names, we came to a final decision on a name. It’s going to be James Monte Irmen and we will call him Jay for short. Finally it’s done and Mike won but I get to pick any future girl names!

And here is my 25 week picture!
