I am term. And have a lot to talk about lol.

So I made it to "term". The baby is developed and can come now and it would not be considered a premature birth. I cant believe the day is here where I am "term" with a baby. It seems like the days of imagining what it would be like to even get pregnant, let alone stay pregnant... and no be finishing a pregnancy-- Its all a blur haha. Im here, David and I made it... the Lord TRUELY provided. Here is a picture of my ever expanding midline. Its hanging lower and lower these days haha. I keep complaining that it feels like I need to poop but I dont need to poop. Its just an intense amount of pressure from her head. I also cant seem to breathe right... I am panting or something. You know when you run up a flight of stairs real quick and then a minute later you like cant breathe? (well, if your out of shape like me then you know what Im talking about lol) Im constantly breathing like that. They say that you are suposed to be able to breathe better when the baby drops... but she is dropped and I still cant freaking breathe. Its actually really annoying. I sit at the front desk in the lobby at my work, and the security guard who sits in the lobby to is constantly making cracks about how I need to change my name to "Darth Vador" lol. It was funny the first time... but he is literally reffering to me as Darth now. Not so funny anymore. Infact... ITS ANNOYING!! I know what I sound like and if I could catch my breath I would. AHHHH!


I am contracting ALL THE TIME but in no consistant pattern. Its quite frustrating. I dont want her here before she is good and ready and healthy... but I also am getting really tired and I dont do so well with pain. Plus I have a wisdom tooth that I need pulled (its infected. Of course.) but I cant have it pulled without being put under due to it being spiral rooted into my jaw nerve... they wont do anything about it until Im not pregnant anymore. However, it wasnt a big deal until this last week. The tooth wasnt hurting me at all. Then I got sick (my ears/sinus thing) and I guess the pressure from that activated the pain in the tooth. Now I cant chew and the tooth is killing me. 9 months pain free... and at the very end you decide to start acting up little wisdom tooth! REALLY!! REALLLLLY NOW!!?? haha. Oh the irony. Im going to be giving birth an in more pain from a stupid tooth then blowing a bowling ball out of me lol. Well... here is to the next 20ish days!!

Friday I took a half day at work so that I could go to David's work baby shower. It was a lot of fun. I got to meet his co-workers and his boss. I had never really met them because I have had no reason to go to his work before. It was nice to finally meet everyone he contantly "talks" about lol. His boss (Emily) threw the shower and there were like 15 people there. They had it catered by Maggiano's which is a really yummy restaurant. There was 2 different salads, 2 different types of bread, 3 different pastas, ect. It was really good. There was a ton of food and they sent it all home with us which was a joke because there is no way I could eat all of that and Davids on a diet lol. But regardless I was greatful. She also got a fruit pastry thing for the "cake" and OH-EMM-GEE it was so freaking good. It was beautiful too! (See pic below). Its from some Bakery that his boss loves and let me tell you... it has my vote. She also brought some cream puffs from this place... AHH! I ate like a box of them lol. They were freaking yummy. I included some pictures for your viewing pleasure!! (Again, people were SO generous with gifts).This weekend was pretty fun after that too. I went home and napped because I was so tired from not sleeping well and then working the early shift so I could take a 1/2 day for the shower. So when I woke up David and I got dressed and headed out to Disneyland to hang out with Kalen and the two wee ones while Megan worked. Since I am "term" now and walking can only help... I put on my walking shoes and braved the park by foot. Usually I am in a wheel chair haha. Well, it was PACKED so I couldnt have gotten a wheel chair if I wanted one regardless. Kalen took this oppertunity to get us a pass to use the handicap entrance for the rides because he felt it was not practical for my "very pregnant" self to stand in the que lines. He said I wouldnt fit well and that if I had to use the restroom getting out would be near impossible for me. They agreed and would have given him the pass after saying "she needs a pass she is very pregnant" but he felt the need to secure the deal by adding all the other stuff haha. So we started off our adventures by riding Peter Pan, Dumbo, Pinoccio (which broke down), Alice, Its a small world... and then getting dinner during the fireworks. The girls fell asleep at dinner and we just relaxed until it was time to actually go. The girls needed diapers changed and Makalah was not happy because we had to wake her up to leave the restaurant. She got David to hold her and then Kalen & I used the bathroom. Well Makalah was totally relaxed on David aparrently because she pee'd on him with epic pee proprotions lol. She socked through her diaper, her shorts, his jacket, his button up shirt, and his garment shirt. Not damp... SOAKED lol. I was dying of laughter... David not so much. He went and got a new shirt (which looked REALLY hot on him I might add) and Kalen changed the girls. Then Kalen took Makalah with him to the tram to get the car, I took Brookie with me to the 15min parking and waited for David to go get his car from the Mimi's cafe lot. He came, and Brookie & I and him waiting in the car, then Megan showed up from getting off her shift so she waited with us and then eventually Kalen got there. We called it a night (it was after midnight at this point) and headed our seperate ways.

Saturday I woke up to help David get ready for bootcamp, and then went back to sleep. He left and did the Millenium Fitness bootcamp and then afterwards took my car for an oil change and also got me 2 new tires because I guess the front ones were bald since I never rotated them (in the 2 years Ive had the car lol). It was very sweet of him. When I got up I went out and got a gift for the wedding we were going to that night. I also got some new flats to shove my little sausage feet into. Then I came home and wrapped the gift and showered and got ready for the wedding. We went to Davids parents house first because it was on the way to the wedding and we still needed to give Kay her Easter basket and stuff. We ended up visiting for a while with his mother and father and one of his brothers (Chris). Just talking about the recient happenings in the family and stuff. Then it was time for us to go to the wedding.

The wedding was for my very best mate in highschool, Denny. He and I were very close and he was my best "guy" friend. The girl he married actually went to highschool with us and they were friends but I would NEVER have imagined that one day that was the girl he would marry. I wasnt very close to her in HS but my bestfriend Jamie was so by association I developed a friendship with her. We actually are better friends now out of high school then we were in high school. The end of a friendship with Stephanie helped that a lot. Allison has a little son named Daniel who Denny adopted prior to them even getting engaged. He was with her throughout her pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the first year of Daniels life. He was in all aspects the father of Daniel except biologically. So he adopted him, then later he proposed to Allison and on Saturday they sealed the deal. It was a very beautiful wedding and I was so happy for them. She was a gorgeous bride and Den looked pretty dapper as well. Its so weird looking back on the days of Denny and I... the memories, the dances, the road trips to San Fran... we shared so much. Now we are both grown up, married, and have kids (well, I will soon lol). We arent as close as we were back in the day but we still maintain a friendship and a deep rooted love for one another. He and I went through a lot together and its awesome to see him so happy in his life. Jamie couldnt come to the wedding so I snapped two "secret" shots from my cell to send to her so she could see haha. Im glad I did because I forgot my camera all together lol! The first picture is Allison being walked down the isle by her dad, and the second picture is after they are married Denny and Allison (Alli is holding their son Daniel). Denny was "Mr Thing" in high school and all the girls where smitten with him... even though him and I never had that "issue" I will say he looked very nice in his suit and stuff. Very grown up. (Ps- Gillette is Dennys real name... thats why it says that on the picture. He is actuall Gillette Dennis Warden the 4th... Denny is from Dennis because his dad is Gill.) After the wedding we went home and the Matsons came over for a slumber party (jk). They showed up with Settlers and dessert... AND NO BABIES! lol. Its weird seeing them without their two little attachments. Im so used to Makalah and Brookie now. But it was nice to hang out and not have to worry about them, to know they were being watched and safe somewhere else lol. We played a new "rendition" of settlers (teams) and baked brownies and cookies. MMM! Then we went to bed around 1am after Megan and I were CLEARLY over the game but David & Kalen had to keep the competition alive lol. Finally the Matsons won and I couldnt have been more happy for them and then rushed to my bed lol.
HOWEVER... all night David kept flipping on his stomach and his mask would pull slightly off his face causing this "trumpette" sound. Sorta like an elephant. AHHH! Id start to fall asleep and then bam, the noise would wake me up. It was driving me nuts. Normally Id send him upstairs to sleep so that I could sleep but the Matsons were in that bed haha. If I had him turn the mask off he would snore and I would be kept up by that... and if he wasnt snoring I would be awake freaking out if he was breathing or not. So by the time everything was situated right and quiet it was like 5am and I finally fell asleep. But then Megan had to get ready for work at 6:30am so I got woken up by her little footsteps lol. Its not her fault... the wood floors are NOT forgiving on noise lol. Then I fell back asleep around 7:30 and woke up at 8:30 and jumped out of bed and got David up and in a panic we got ready for church (starts at 9am lol). We made it and then came home and I made grilled paninis on the foreman and we watched Sherlock holmes. Then i took a nap. Afterwards Kalen and Megan came back over and we played a quick game of settlers before the Matsons had to hit the road to get back to their little children. Then David and I relaxed together and had dinner and watched Amazing Race and Undercover boss. Then it was bedtime and now its Monday FUNDAY! lol. (or not...)

We got our carseat in a while back and are going to be installing it in the car tonight. I was going to wait until my car had been detailed but with all these contractions and everything I figured I would go ahead and put it in to be on the safe side lol! Here is the actual seat. I looooooove it! I also wanted to post a picture of my little furbabies. They have been abnormally obnoxious lately with barking and stuff and I think a lot of it has to do with the changes in the household and just not getting the attention they are used to. Sunday afternoon while David studied and I watched old 90's love flicks they cuddled up on me and went to sleep and they just looked so calm and peaceful. I couldnt help but snap a quick picture. They may drive me crazy... but I love them. They were my therapy for infertility and Im excited for them to be part of my daughters life.

I had the most bizzare dream last night about Kisha lol. I dreamt she had the baby and it was a natural delivery and the baby came out and it ended up being a boy. For some reason I was at the hospital and Troy was just saying over and over "no, thats the wrong baby. I have a daughter. Im goign to sue you for switching the babies" and I was like "Troy I saw the baby come out" (even though he was there and saw it too lol) and then at the end he was like crying and happy he had a son and they named him Asher. What a weird dream lol. Kisha MUST be having this baby soon because I keep dreaming about HER babies birth lol. She is like 4 days over due now?? GEEZ! COME OUT LITTLE ONE!

Man... do your eyes hurt yet from all the reading or WHAT lol!! Until next time...
