Babies, Babies, Babies

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am going to be an auntie to a little girl in June....whelp, not anymore. Hailey Kay is actually a HE. What?! I am as shocked as you are. My sis had an ultrasound appointment last week and called to tell me that Hailey "grew a weenie." Being the jokester that she is, I immediately called her out on her lil joke. A lot of no ways, liar, and you swears later, I am indeed having a nephew, Blake Robert to be exact. And you know what? It feels right. I was super happy about a niece but I really thought she was having a boy and it turns out that I was right. I guessed correctly about sister's best friend, my sis and my bestie Geana. So I am sticking to my guess that Bestie Lisa (Bestie Geana's twin) is having a girl. She'll be finding out on Feb. 5th so we shall see!

Oh! I also found out that my little bro is expecting with his GF Clarissa! She's due September 25th. My guess is a girl for them as well seeing as how badly my bro wants a boy..heehee Excuse me, my wallet just had a heart attack...LOL I'm super happy about all the babies and although times are a bit hard financially speaking, it'll all work out and I'll help get these babies all kitted out so they have all that they need to get on out here. I thought that last year was the year of babies but this year has even more, yay!

I have a six month old....seriously??

This went by way too fast!

I had this whole post that keeps getting deleted so I will just leave it at this:

Happy Six Month Birthday Bella! *MUAH*

The Liz Logelin Foundation

Bestie Jenn e-mailed me a link to a blog last month and it has really, really touched me. I would like to pass it on to anyone who reads my blog. It's a sad one and will make you cry but it is also very inspiring. I added a widget on my page, The Liz Logelin Foundation, that you will understand once you have read the blog. Please add it/ donate/pass it on. This guy is amazing. He is someone who makes me believe that there are still good people in this world. Here's the link to his blog: http://www.mattlogelin.com/
I honestly didn't expect to get as drawn in and invovled as I have but I think about these two almost every day. I am glued to my computer screen reading about the day to day things they do and all the feelings that go along with this tragic situation. It makes me go home and kiss my husband a lil more and be so thankful for all that I have in my life. It leaves me with a desire to be a better person, to help others. I hope it does for you too.

The Hubby

Soooo, since I have learned a new trick (posting pictures) I have decided to introduce you to the last (but certainly not the least) member of my lil familia. That's my husband Joe, Me and Bella on Christmas Day 2008. Bella didn't feel like looking at the camera but I love this picture anway. The Hubster is 25 going on 26 in February and is the best husband a girl could ever have. Cook? Clean? Take care of Bella? Kind? Thoughtful? Funny? Yup! He's all those things and so much more. I don't know what I'd do without him.

I'm still alive, I swear!

Yes, I know, I suck at this like the time I tried to give myself these cute beachy waves I saw in a magazine and ended up looking like a deranged Shirley Temple (note: I do believe my Nana almost fell off her chair laughing at me, jerk). Where have I been? I have no idea. I mean, I've been busy but the holidays are over and things have calmed down. Well, they have calmed down a little bit anyway.

Anywho, I was reading Bestie Jenn's SIL's blog (so funny, love those kids) and noticed that I had been tagged to post my fourth picture in my picture file. Seeing as how I am at work and have no idea how to post a pic, let's see how this works out, shall we? OK, so it posted above what I'm writing lol at least I figured it out. This is my daughter Bella. Bestie Jenn took this picture a month or so ago at my house. It's one of my favorites. Bestie Jenn has talent. I am so proud of myself for figuring this out on my own lol I will be posting a lot more pics now. I am now tagging (cuz those are the rules) : Brenda, Katie, Jenn and Brandy.

Bestie Jenn just started the 30 day shred...I also bought the video and need to get on it! This post-baby mush will not tone itself! Come on motivation!

12 days of Christmas

I seem to only be able to/remember to blog while I am at work, so it's not too frequent seeing as how I work 3 days a week but oh well. Honestly, I think I'd bore the pants of you if I blogged every day cuz I'm not that interesting (it's ok, I said it, not you). I was sitting here thinking, what the heck can I blog about today? I've been in the Christmas spirit so I decided to do 12 random things about me like the 12 days of christmas song. It'll let some get to know me a bit better, you've been warned, and it'll be entertaining for me :D

1. I like the way gasoline smells...no, I don't go and sniff gas on purpose.
2. I am a homebody. I would rather be at my house then pretty much anywhere. I was in Hawaii and I loved it but after a few days, I wanted to go home.
3. I am technologically and domestically challenged. Cook a turkey? Sew a button a shirt? Put pictures on my blog? hahaha yeah right (Bestie Jenn will show me hehe)
4. It hurts me to sit Indian style. Since kindergarten I haven't been able to sit like that comfortabley.
5. If I could have any eye color it would be the color of my good friend Chrissy-poo's eyes...they aren't an exact color. I love them (her too for that matter)
6. I like ketchup and spaghetti sauce but not tomatoes. go figure
7. My husband and I are high school sweethearts but we did not meet at school.
8. I don't like the feel of cotton balls..makes my teeth itch (yes, it feels like that)
9. My middle fingers are crooked...my husband always asks why I'm flipping off the wall.
10. I have a love affair with cuss words. I'm trying to break it but it's super hard!
11. I cry at everything lately and I also can't remember crap. I'm a mess.
12. I'm a bit OCD. Everything in my house has a spot...please don't move it, I will hurt you. I also have to match my jammies every night.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Peace out!

Miss McNugget or Mr. McNugget

As I mentioned in a previous post, my little sister Sarah is currently baking a baby (one of the many that will be born next year.) I have nicknamed said baby McNugget because that is my sister's fave food and that's what it looks like to me. I have been betting that it was a boy and that my bestie Lisa was having a girl (then Bestie Geana popped up and said, "I'm preggo again!" but found out pretty quickly that they said they 90% sure it was a boy so I didn't have too much time to guess about her lil sprout.) We have been all set to go to her 3-D ultrasound this Saturday at 5 PM to see if we can catch a glimpse of the "area", it's on my calendar at work and everything. So needless to say, I was super surprised when she called me a few days ago and told me a story that involved her getting an ultrasound. Wait, what? She was with her best friend (currently 26 weeks along with her third baby) who was having an ultrasound and the guy doing them offered Sarah a chance up there so she could save her money and wait til the baby was "cuter" and not so "scary" LOL Well, who can turn down anything free? Not Sarah, so she hopped up on that table and was told "butt cheek, butt cheek, nothing in between." IT'S A GIRL!! I cried when she told me. My little sister, having a baby, a little girl. I thought my lil heart couldn't get any bigger but with each new baby, it makes room to accommodate all that love. Hailey Kay is due June 12th, 2009 and I seriously cannot wait. Bella and her cousin will be only 11 months apart . I am so looking forward to the bond that these two girls will share, hopefully like the one their mother's have. Hurry up June!
