doctor appt: 5 months

i had my five month doctor appointment last wednesday.

it was quick and easy.

 

they measured me.

(things are right on track)

 

they listened to the baby's heart beat.

(things sound good)

 

they gave me my delivery bill because

i guess you have to have all of that paid in full

a month before you deliver.

(things look cheaper than i thought. yesssssss.)

 

they gave me a liquid i have to drink before my

next visit to check for gestational diabetes.

(it looks like orange soda, but i hear its gross)

 

**i'm really hoping i don't have it,
but it would probably be good for my eating habits if i did. wah wah.**

 

this was the first appointment ronald missed,

but it lasted all of 20 minutes,

so i'm glad he didn't take off work for it.

 

next visit: march 13th

we're chugging along.

 

 

 

 

the nursery

currently our nursery is still an office.

except for the closet.

and that's where i've been storing the things i've picked up.

so far,

a throw pillow and curtains.

 

yep, that's it.

but i have a good idea of what i want.

 

white, cream, coral and taupe.

 

here's some ideas for coral nurseries

and decorating items off  my pinterest board,

which is titled "down the road"

 

i'm thinking a new name might be in order

since down the road is now around the corner.

 

 

 

for accents i'm loving hot air balloons,

clouds, farris wheels, kites.

so many adorable ideas,

i can't decide.

 

 

 

 

i'm ready to register, shop and decorate.

 

 

my own kind of cupid

ronnie bought me my very own six pack.

 

OF REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER HEARTS.

 

 

 

things just got real.

he might have also thrown in a card and a plant,

but really,

he led with the reese's so the rest was lost in the chocolate haze that took over.

 

 

hope everyone else is eating chocolate tonight too.

i mean, that's really all that valentine's day is good for.

can i get an amen?

 

 

aaaamen.

 

hit me with your best shot

in my blogging absence

there was a new development:

movement.

 

i feel her all the time now.

they said that would start somewhere between

18 and 22 weeks.

mine didn't really start until the tail end of my

22nd week, first of my 23rd week.

i was starting to get worried because

people would ask if i felt her and i would always have to say no.

 

but now,

if i'm being honest,

i'm glad she waited.

having her do flips and turns on the screen is one thing.

having her do flips and turns that i can feel is completely different.

they don't hurt, but it just feels weird.

it feels like my stomach is on a roller-coaster.

i'm not a big fan of it.

 

 

so this should be fun.

she'll be doing more and more of it

while also getting bigger.

sounds great.

a day off

i've been out of town.

ronnie and i drove up to illinois to visit ronnie's family.

a seven hour drive in the car with back problems is not fun.

i do, however, enjoy today off with no car ride.

i'm spending the day doing laundry

and running errands.

i have to return a tunic to old navy that i bought in a large.

i guess i'm now an x-large.

freakin awesome.

i also have to go pick up a new cable box

because we've been living without dvr since last week.

that is so 2008.

 

sorry about my lack of blogging.

hopefully this will tide you over.

 

running errands

in my new maternity jeans.

 

24 weeks 

game night

i know i'm a day late and a dollar short,

but i have a really good dip recipe

for occasions such as the super bowl

or any game night/group gathering.

 

my friend at work made it for us

and she just calls it corn dip,

which made me skeptical.

but if you look it up on pinterest

i think the official name is cowboy caviar or cowboy dip.

 

1 C sour cream
1 C real mayo
1 can rotel
2 cans mexican/fiesta corn
1 dash sugar
2-3 bunches green onion, chopped
1 C shredded cheddar cheese

 

mix it all together and chill for a couple hours.

serve with frito or tostito scoops.

 

trust this.

its so good.



[insert joke here]

we interrupt this baby story for a mildly suggestive ronald commercial.

 

 

 

ronnie has been going to school for 5 years.

he will finally be done in may and he's super excited.

 

this semester he actually has to go two nights a week for the first 9 weeks

because they're having him take a welding class.

ronnie kind of bitched about having to go since he knows how to weld

and apparently he thinks he's awesome.
too awesome for a class.

 

until he got home from week one, 

and his instructor told him that he needed to work on his

penetration and angle.

 

i almost spit up when he told me.

 

that's right people,

ronnie sucks at penetrating and his angle is all wrong.

bah ha ha ha ha

feel free to make fun of him.

send jokes.

destroy his manhood.

 

it can't be worse than the stuff i came up with.

happy friday!
