that stack
Remember that stack of left over decorations that I purposely put where I would trip over them a few times a day...well they all found a home yesterday afternoon. That was my "labor" for the day. Do any of the pictures frames have pictures? Nope. But they're hanging and thats all I care about for now. No more toe stubbing in the middle of the night.
Congratulations are an order!

38 Weeks
One of THOSE Nights....
- We went swimming yesterday at a resort with Ryan and Shannon and company.
- I ate 4 slices of Papa Johns Pizza and a Dr. Pepper and a handful of peanut butter M&Ms.
- Got home at 9 ish.
- Tried on my new nursing g's. Too big. Annoyed about it.
- Stayed up and read till 11 about Labor and Delivery. Not a good mind relaxer.
- 11:13 headed to bed.
- Checked the clock again at 11:53...still wide awake.
- Finally drifted off after singing primary songs such as: I am a Child of God, I Like to Look for Rainbows, A Child's Prayer and I Love to See the Temple.
- 2:27 woke up as if it were 10:00 in the morning but with real bad acid reflex (sp?). Thank you Papa. Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. My big toe.
- Made chocolate milk.
- Killed two freakin cock roaches. (didn't do the dishes before bed)
- Peed
- ATTEMPTED bed again. Laid and Laid and thought about everything in the world including labor, tearing, breast feeding, knowing when labor starts and all that. Dixie Chicks song, "I Can Love You Better" was stuck in my head.
- Almost in la la land. I could feel that floating feeling when the kid woke up. He loves chocolate milk. He'll be disappointed when he drinks my milk I guess.
- Tossed and Turned. Had to pee.
- Back to bed. Got so comfy. Said yet another prayer to fall asleep. 4:07 dying of thirst. Got up for more water. Didn't even look for cock roaches this time.
- Back to bed. It was happening. I was excited when I hear a loud, "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" Thank you Cody's phone and friend for texting at 4:15. Very thoughtful. Kid is awake again and kicking me in the ribs now. Feels amazing.
- I've given up on the idea of sleep and just decided to lay there till morning. Cody had a nightmare and flew out of bed which startled me of course. He wiped his sweaty brow on me. Gross.
- 5:15 Cody's alarm goes off and he told me how tired he was. I barely had a decent response.
- Got up with Cody and now blogging and watching the early show. Its 5:52 and I'm starving. I'm going to be pretty edgey today. Look out....consider that your warning.
It doesn't seem too bad once its written down but I know everyone has had a night like this. Aren't they the best? I would rather have to be staying up like this with a newborn...not JUST BECAUSE! $#%&*!#$%&*!&$*#!@#$*&%$@!!!!!!!!!

The Long Awaited Post...I'm so sure

19 days? 19 DAYS!
I remember back when the little ticker on my blog said 190 days and I thought that was close and now its only 19! Boy oh boy! We're definitely getting anxious and my mind is full of, "so how does this really work? I have to push him out of me? Is that really possible?" Yesterday at my appointment the doc told me I'm almost dialated to a 1 and almost effaced 25%. Hey we'll take it because I better not be having contractions for nothing. We asked if I could be to a 4 by next week and she said, "There's no way." I like to think I'm an over achiever and WILL be that far along....of course I'm also a doubter so I doubt I will be. haha.
I remember growing up my cousins decided to remodel their single wide trailer into more of a home when the wife was about oh 9 months pregnant and I kinda thought she was crazy. Well we're not remodeling a house but we are refinishing some more furniture...as if doing it when I was 7 months along wasn't hard enough. I'm really excited though. It was a junky antique hutch (china cabinet for those who need it dumbed down) and it is turning into a real nice piece of furniture who will soon call lots of dishes spread throughout my front room and kitchen home! I can't wait. I also can't wait for the fumes to disperse a little more so I don't go to bed with a headache every night. To keep me motivated to finish it, Cody helps me do the maneuvering and sanding and I do the painting and staining. I'm happy with any extra help. I do wish he could do the whole thing but I'm too much of a perfectionist and pretty darn picky so he just says, "you handle it." and I do. Oh and he also bought me the cutest knobs for the drawers and cupboards. It was my "allowance" for like the next three years. haha jk....probably four!
(I've had relatives call me TJ for Tamra Junior. Can't imagine why. ....but I do have a moo moo now just like her. And yes Cody and my Dad both think they are the ugliest things ever.)
Thats it for now. I'm going to attempt sleeping.
