baby shower #2

so i started school this past week. Keiser University, going for my BA in business administration - focusing on management. i'm taking the classes online, and so far, i love it. i should've done online my whole life! lol my current class is intro to psychology. its so very interesting, and funny enough, the second chapter we're studying is about human development. the influence parents have on babies and how different situations affect them. also the full human life spectrum, the milestone or turning points in life and how each one has some sort of "crisis" we have to face. it's very beneficial, since i will be having my baby soon =)

well, august 20th i had my official baby shower. thankfully the most important people came (except my sister, which she couldnt cus she lives far and is coming after the baby is born.) i had a great time, got lots of gifts for ayleen, and pretty much completed the essentials i needed. i have a lot of diapers and wipes, and clothes!!!! she has more clothes than me, unbelievable!

soooo, i dont know if im just anxious and inpatient, but i have a strong feeling ill be going into labor soon. it started since yesterday morning. i just started thinking oh man i have a feeling shes coming out real soon! yesterday was the first time that i had so much pelvic bone pressure that i could barely breathe! i've literally felt her digging her way down, past my bones and stuff. its nerve wrecking but i really hope she comes soon! im SO ready to see her and hug her and kiss her and touch her and be with her! her nursery, for the most part, is ready. she has her essentials. i just need to decorate it more. the walls are so plain =/ and i need to buy a lamp cus unfortunatley that room has no light. but its ready for her =) and im ready to have her! ive been going back and forth, trying to decide whether i want pain medication or not, i just dont want her to receive any drugs in her system, especially so early in life!

nursery pictures will be up soon :)

im not working anymore. honestly, since i stopped, ive felt so much better! i havent had any pains in my uterus, ive felt so much more happy and calm. you'd never expect a freaking spa to be so stressful. but its not so much the environment, but the people you have to spend the day with! geeeez. anyways, im going to try to work from home somehow for now. and come january, i will force myself into the memorial healthcare system, and work there until i die or win the lottery. hah.

baby shower #1

Honestly, its great. today i made the best pasta EVER. and armando LOVED it. lol. my cooking skills have gotten better, which is good, although armando said he's going to cook on friday - we'll see how that goes. i've been pretty energized, although stressed. but everythings going smoothly. a little tough, but smooth anyways.

i think she was sitting on a nerve, cus i couldnt move at all without this really bad shooting pain on my left side. i layed down on my right side for a while and it went away.
i need to get her room ready though. armando keeps saying he'll talk to his friend to see if we can borrow his truck to bring the crib and changing table from my brothers house, but idk if its armando not talking to him or him just not responding. i swear, im gonna go into labor and her room wont be ready. LAME.

so monica, one of my coworkers and girl i've been very close with in elementary school, decided to plan a baby shower for me at work since shes not allowed to go to my shower (unfortunatley my boss doesnt have a heart and is forcing her to work on the day of my actual shower.) on top of that, my other boss is going to be out of the country too and my other coworker is going out of town, so really only one person from my job is going to my real shower.
any ways, monica planned a mini baby shower at work. it was a surprise actually lol i almost cried. they bought pastries, a cookie cake, and cassandra made the best chicken type dip thing -- so yummy. my boss' and the girl stephanie who wont be coming to my shower also got me some real nice gifts. i underestimated them actually, didnt think they'd think of me that much. especially stephanie since shes new and we just met like 2 weeks ago. she got my baby the cutest clothes :) and my boss, marilyn and her husband, got me diapers, bottles, and breast pump. :) monica and cassandra said they'd give me their gifts the day of the baby shower. (monica is meeting me at my apartment that night.) regardless, aside from the gifts, it was just nice that they took the time to spend time with me since most of them wont be at my real shower. :) other than all that, work is work and im trying to make it better. the transition once the baby is here is going to be complicated but my baby comes before anything.



in the end, im happy. satisfied. and super freaking excited to meet my baby. im officially 8 months today. 32 weeks. ahhhhh. (:

busy bee.

I havent posted in quite a while, a month maybe?

well i moved!! i finally got settled, although the babys room still needs a lot of work. this past weekend i had cable and internet installed (finally) and everything is unpacked and put away. just needs some decorating and stuff. :)

missy has been great! she hasnt done any disasters, and shes only pee'd on the carpet TWICE! she used to pee in the house more than twice a day at my mother in laws house, but now we're thinking she was just being territorial because my mother in laws dog also stopped peeing inside her house. interesting huh?

our neighbors are real nice too. super friendly. so im really glad! the only sucky thing about the complex is there are no guest parking around my apartment. its so frustrating to our guests! also, we have a huge lake in the back. armando goes fishing all the time, if it where for him hed sleep next to the lake everyday lol but thats his relaxing technique or whatever, so i try not to complain.

Shes kicking like crazy. ive been having cramps, and feeling very sick lately too. everything i eat makes me wanna throw up or just gives me a deadly stomach ache. I cant wait for her to come out though. im super excited to meet her and see her little face :)

work is work. like always. at the spa my responsibilities have changed, meaning my pay has too - and not in a good way. but im planning on fixing that.

aside from that, im still trying to do my own thing. just dont have all the materials i need but im hoping the income will come to help me get the programs and material i need to do what i have in mind. make up, marketing, photography, all that good stuff.
