Christmas Celebrations & THIRD trimester!

~Friday we made it to Ryan's Christmas lunch at Applebee's (YUM!). I was stuffed after! We had to go get the oil changed in Ryan's truck & pick up a few things at Wal-Mart and then we headed home to get ready for his parents house. We went over there and we just ordered pizza for supper (we are going to do our big seafood dinner after the 1st of the year when John and SOnya get home!). Pizza was fine w/ me b/c I was still stuffed from lunch! Brycen spent the night @ Mamaw & Papaw Gizzy's w/ Jayce & Hailey. He was so excited. He doesn't get to spend the night as much as he would like... but w/ me being gone from him all week, I really like having him home w/ me on weekends or I miss him too much! I'm a baby I know... But I LOVE being w/ him and spending time w/ him & I'm sad when he is not with me! When we got home Ryan & I sat up his new farm set for him in the kitchen (so many pieces!) so that when he got home Sat. morning he could start playing w/ it right away!

Here's a covered up belly pic- thanks to my brother in law... he thinks he is so funny. (27 wks & 4 days)

Getting into it :)

Brycen checking out his new farm set- he is IN LOVE w/ it :)

These two love each other sooo much- they sat just like this and watched an entire movie!

What Ryan and I did Fri. night ;)

~Saturday I had to get up and clean and start some of what I was cooking for supper w/ my mom's family that night. Brycen got home at 11:30ish and was SOOOO excited to see his farm set all set up! It was one of his gifts from Mamaw & Papaw Gizzy... although Ryan & I actually picked it out. I'm pretty sure it will be a favorite, b/c he hasn't stopped playing w/ it since! I've learned more about farming than I've ever wanted to know! My mom's family all started showing up at about 4pm. We did gifts and ate and they were all gone by like 7:00pm! My parents stayed and played farm w/ B for awhile ;). They all had to leave early b/c they all live up in Martinsville & wanted to get home at a decent hour.

~Yesterday we went to church & then to Wal-Mart after (i really really despise that place!). We had a birthday gift to get & a few other things... We went home and ate lunch & then Ryan decided he would paint Andon's room... I was pretty pumped about that (is it work if you enjoy it??). I don't know, we go back & forth on the work on Sunday thing... Ryan likes to paint so he doesn't consider it "work"... guess it's like me and blogging? lol. Anyway, he didn't get finished, but he will be able to finish tonight I think! I am loving it so far! Brycen and I played Chutes and Ladders way too many times for me to even count yesterday! He always beats me & I don't even have to let him! Go figure?! lol. I also had more cookies to bake last night. B and I have so much fun! He really is a good helper- even if it is a little more messy :).

~I'm 28 weeks pregnant today! Wow, I can't believe that 3rd trimester is here... I can't wait to meet the little guy! I am miserable. I don't know how people "enjoy" being pregnant... I enjoy feeling him kick & squirm, BUT I do not enjoy all the other things that come with being pregnant... I'm really just in it for the end result ;). If one more person tells me how huge I am I might scream at them... seriously! I know people mean well, but it gets old! I know I'm huge, I know I'm a lot bigger than I was with Brycen... but people come on I'm 4'9" it doesn't have a lot of places to go besides OUT. Anyway! I guess it doesn't matter, but gee whiz! I need to be taking another belly picture! I meant to this past week, but forgot... I'm really forgetful these days... like I'd probably forget my head if it wasn't attached. I always remember @ the most inconveient times too... like half way home from the store that I forgot the pudding I needed! This is my only day of work this week, this morning when it was so cold out I was wondering why on earth I decided to work today?! Anyway- tomorrow we're making candy and cookies all day at my mom's. Should be fun!

Oh did I happen to mention my sweet little boy cut his own hair last night w/ kid scissors... wow. :)

I happen to think you're one of the cutest pregnant chicks I've seen! But I know what you mean when people comment on how "big" you look; when I was preggers w/ Nick, he was totally all up front - I didn't look pregnant anywhere else!

I got to the point now when people tell me how much "I've changed" since the last time they saw me (which is their way of telling me I'm a hog) I just tell them when they see the child that comes out of this ball in my belly they can then see if they could fit that in their stomach! Almost done!

Hey girl, I know what you mean. I'm 5'1" all my children came out front. With my last one Brent I was 50" around. Talk about big.

Tera said...

I can't believe you are in your 3rd trimester already! Yeah!! Oh, I LOVE being pregnant...I'll be praying these next 10-12 weeks are more fun for you. I think you are an adorable preggo! :)

When I was pregnant with Emma I had a very "nice" man tell me that if I got any bigger I was going to blow up the place where I worked. :) I still had about 8 weeks at that point. Oh well, I lost it all after she was born. Not so much with Josie. :( We will see how the third one goes. BTW, I don't like to be pregnant either.

I laughed out loud at your comment about people telling you how big you are - I SO understand this because I will also scream if I hear it one. more. time.! And I also know people mean well but in what other earthly circumstance would people think that's an okay thing to say??? And so why do they think it's okay to say to a tired, hormonal, achy woman??? LOL! (um, not that that's you - but it sure describes ME! ha ha!)
