Trip to Grandma's House

After getting stuck overnight in Chicago, it was straight to Grandma's arms for a big hug! What a fun time we had. Lots of good conversation, napping, and EATING! I think I ate Grandma out of her house. (My portion size was quadruple hers). And, if you ever need a good nap, go to Bellevue. I swear Grandma has a sedative running through her air system. And, if you want to take a warm, yummy shower...Bellevue house.

My cousins and favorite Auntie came over to Grandma's on Saturday for a YUMMY lunch and lots of laughs. Of course...I got my "Auntie-hug" fix (a few times). I had a ball watching my cousins' kids run through Grandma's house just as we did when we were little. And, they loved the same toys that we played with over 25 years ago. My cousin Mary stayed the night with us. We stayed up till 1:30am! I hadn't done that since before pregnancy. I love my sweet Mary.

My favorite moment at Grandma's was when she came into my room, the moring I left, and crawled in bed with me, and we just talked and talked until we were forced to get up to shower and leave for the airport. A moment I'll always cherish. Oh, Ryan had a great time in Ohio. I told Grandma that Ryan didn't cry once on the flight there and back! Such a good baby. :)

If possible, try and take a look at the samples we put on the wall for Ryan's room. I believe if you double-click on the picture, it should open it up to a full view. Let me know what you think.

I'm Cracking Up Laughing

....I've been wondering if I'm growing at all. Well, I sure answered my question when I looked back at my previous bump watch pic. My Lord!

32 Week Post -

I'm in my 32nd week right now!

Check out the point on that belly! Whoa! Who knew a belly could do that. With four more lbs to put on this kid, I'll be booked for a part in the circus...right next to the three-headed woman.

In all seriousness, things are going well here. I have an appointment tomorrow in the morning. Hope to hear more details about Ryan, and HOPEFULLY get a sonogram. I haven't had one since week 17, so I'm dying to see the little guy.

With the 20+ women we know that are pregnant, two just delivered. Both babies were early arrivals, and weighed under 5 lbs!!! You know what that means....Jessica's going all the way to 40+ weeks, with a 10 pounder. Just you wait! Anyone want to lay down some bets?

In case you've been worried about the reflex and indigestion, I've gotten it under control...somewhat. Heartburn hasn't made an appearance in a while. As long as I take my Pepcid, and throw down two Tums, I'm okay. Although, I can eat two bites of cereal, and I feel my Pops revisiting my mouth.

I'm heading to Ohio on Thursday to visit Grandma and cousins. I'm going to miss seeing my grandpa, but hope to get back up there in the summer to visit him...WITH RYAN!!!! My trip this week will consist of lots of good conversation, and RELAXATION! Rod is taking on the task of painting Ryan's room with a primer. The color MUST wait until I, Princess, get back to make sure I like what I have picked out.

Love to you all!! Depending on how I'm feeling, and looking, I'll have my next post in two weeks.

Big Day Today!

So, a co-worker and I frequent the local Subway sandwich store for lunch. I get the same thing every time. Turkey, ham, American cheese, lettuce, onion and mayo...and a diet coke and a bag of Doritos, and we're set!

I've noticed over the past month (okay so maybe longer) that I've been able to ingest more food in one setting than I have ever before. Okay, at this point, you're probably wondering why today was a "big day" per the title of the blog, so here it is...I ordered a FOOT LONG sandwich. Yeah, that's right. Six inches, which is bigger than the size of my stomach, just isn't enough. That whole idea of eating six small meals a day, went right out the door. Stacy, how do you do it?!?! That diet is for the birds!

As I type this blog, I'm staring at the second half of my foot long. Its staring back. So, do I eat it all now, or save the rest for my 3pm snack??? Oh, my 3pm snack is now a meal...a full meal. Whatever snacks and candy my co-workers have hidden in their desks, I've made myself fully welcomed.

Last night, mom busted me with American Idol Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream in my freezer. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?!?! What happened to my "I'm full" button?!? It doesn't work anymore.

This Saturday marks my 7.5 months. I'll be out of town so I may post the pic on Wednesday or Thursday before we leave for the Big D.
