Day 2
Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest.
Sadly, this picture was taken almost two years ago. Time for a new one! Holly, my sister, and I weren't really close when we were teenagers but we sure knew how to torture each other when we were younger. We had our own personal version of sisterly warfare and it was not pretty; titty twisters anyone? Through the years our relationship has gone from difficult to close knit. She has been an amazing aunt to Joey and a very supportive sister. I don't know what I would do without Holly as my sister.

Day One of 30 Day Challenge
10 Facts about me
1. I chose this picture because I am feeling fat and pregnant. This was taken last May in Vegas and I am about 10 pounds lighter and not trying to sound vain, but I look great in this picture. Granted I am pregnant now and have gained weight, but sometimes I struggle with feeling and looking my best. I actually wore this shirt yesterday with a blue cardigan to work, but I am thinking I look a little bit different. I so want to be tan again. Of course only a fake one...I prefer self tanner over a tanning bed, for obvious reasons.
2. I. AM. A. NERD. Always have been, always will be and I am proud of it. Anything from reading and watching Harry Potter over and over again, to making Star Wars jokes, (anyone remember, "May the Fourth be with you") being dorky is what defines me...ask anyone. I am also married to a pretty big and cute dork. Our kids are screwed.
3. I can't wait until February 2029. This is when all the sealed and classified records of the JFK assassination will be made public. As a firm believer of a cover up, I hope to see exactly what kind of classified information was collected by the Warren Commission to make the public think that it would buy such stories as the magic bullet theory and the lack of chain of evidence during the investigation. In my own opinion I believe that a rogue operation stemming from the highest levels of our government took part in the assassination as a means to keep from withdrawing from the Vietnam War under JFK.
4. I can be easily confusing. I tend to think in my head and not share all the details with the person I am talking to. For example, I bought a wall coat rack intending to use it as a hooded towel holder for the kids bathroom. I only told Josh that I wanted it hung in the bathroom, not telling him where or how I wanted to use it. He didn't read my mind and hung it up high and out of reach. Whoops.
5. I hold a special place in my heart for "problem children." As a parent with a child who has SPD, it is hard to deal with others who feel like my kid has behavioral problems and can't see him for the truly amazing kid he really is. I am so lucky to work at a daycare that cares so much about my kid. Joey's teachers are truly amazing and have helped him more than they know. As a result of having Joey, I have become a more patient person towards those who are difficult or misunderstood, especially children.
6. I have a strong urge to move to California or any other place that has a good climate. I am so over this wet and cold Washington weather.
7. When I was younger I had a big ol' crush on Billy Ray Cyrus. The singer with the mullet who sang "Achy Breaky Heart." I had a big poster of him on my wall that my dad, of all people, got me. His daughter is Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. I feel old!
8. When we were in junior high my friend Kara and I loved Austin Powers. We were so oblivious to the sexual innuendos that engulfed the entire movie. For her birthday one year I bought her a personalized license plate for her car, named the Shaggin' Wagon. The plate said, "It's the Shaggin' Wagon Baby Yeah!" At the time we couldn't understand why her Mom wouldn't let her actually put it on her car. That is how oblivious and naive we were.
9. I can't imagine a life where my husband and Joey don't exist. In a lot of ways my life started when these two came into the picture.
10. Sometimes I think it would be cool to run for a local office or be in politics. But I have a feeling that there is way to much incriminating evidence out there for me to even have a chance. =)

Scene and Heard Sunday
-We have a new addition to our family. It's called Josh's mustache. I am not sure if I quite have all the details, but he has been growing it for about a month because he lost a bet at work. There is no word when this "addition" will be leaving.
-I finally broke down and opted to do a belly shot. I never did one early on while being pregnant with Joey. As a matter of fact there aren't too many pictures of me pregnant with him...and that is probably a good thing.
I am 18 weeks in this picture. It is weird that some days I seem bigger and like this one I feel there is hardly any bump there.
-Not to be outshone by Daddy's mustache and Mommy's baby bump, Joey wanted to show off his bump/tattoo. I can't take credit for that tattoo or it's placement...that is all my sister's doing.
-I prepared my first seafood dinner last night for my friend Paris and I. It was surprisingly not hard. We stuffed our faces full of crab, shrimp, and lobster. It was buttery delicious. I may have created a monster within myself though. I realized how simple and quick it is to prepare, but the recipes I used called for copious amounts of butter, probably not the best for you.
-Wednesday marked the 6th time out of 7 seasons that we have won our league for volleyball. This team started in September of 2008 and has been going strong ever since. We do travel about 30 minutes up to Kent to play in this league, but have found it offers the most competition. Hopefully we can continue our win streak even with fatty me playing along.
-It really wouldn't be a week without some daycare stories to share.
On Monday I came back from my week vacation and the kids were pretty excited to have me back. We were playing pretend games where I was Queen Mother Keana and I was giving everyone jobs to do which include shoulder rubs and plans to take over the world. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 8 and 9 year old girls suggested we all pretend that I was going into labor and to give birth to my baby. I drew the line there. For some reason, I am not sure these girls exactly realize what goes into giving birth, but let's keep them innocent for awhile!
I ended the week having to talk to two sets of parents because two first grade boys were "practicing a popular Michael Jackson move, and I am not talking about the Moonwalk." It really does surprise me what these kids know at such a young age.

Scene and Heard Sunday
-Yesterday morning, my friend Paris, whom I work with, came over to watch Joey while I went to my volleyball tournament. Joey asked if he could go and I said maybe when Aunt Holly came to pick him up, she would take him. When they came to the tournament in the afternoon, Joey sat with my friend Heather and watched me play. At one particular point in the game he looked at Heather and said, "that's my Mommy, she is awesome at volleyball." I love how Joey is very into making observations as of lately.
-I am starting to feel baby move around a tiny bit. It's hard to tell because I have discovered that I am lactose intolerant this pregnancy and any time I have dairy my stomach is a rumbling and there is major gas build-up which feels similar to baby movement.
-I enjoyed a nice long week vacation from work. I realized how much I miss being a stay at home mom. I resign from my position around the end of June when school is out for the kids. I will miss everyone at the daycare so much, but am so grateful to have had that place as a part of my life, even if it was short.
-On Saint Patrick's Day, my cousin Laura and her husband, Dave were up visiting from San Jose so they came over to my house for a traditional St. Patty's day dinner with all my family. We all had a great time and even though I didn't love my own cooking that particular night, everyone else said they did.
-I am so grateful to still be playing volleyball and doing so with a healthy pregnancy. I didn't play when I was pregnant with Joey and wasn't so active at all, so this time I notice that I have kept the weight down better. I can definitely tell I am slowing down on the court and am having to make some adjustments on hitting, but I am so glad that my team is understanding and that we are blessed with subs, especially during yesterday's tournament. I injured my foot near the arch and am not sure what I did. It feels like a big cramp in my foot, but won't go away; so this week I have to go to the doctors to get that checked out. Apparently your arches can soften out during pregnancy, so I am not sure if this is a symptom or an injury at this point.
-I want to leave off this post with a funny quote from Joey. One night this week I was tucking him to bed when he said,
Gee thanks Joey! In retelling this quote to Josh, Joey then also mentioned that Aunt Katy's and Uncle Jason's butts would get big too. Ouch! Let's hope his foresight is not on target this early.

Settling In
I took this last week of work off to finally get things put away in our new house. I still have lots of work to do, but I am starting to get excited for the ideas bursting in my head for decorating. I was finally able to start decorating our shelves since Josh has finished up the wiring for surround sound. One of my first "decorating" projects was hanging pictures and my collage I had made at our apartment.
I am really happy with how the collage turned out.
One of the big things I am trying to be open about is mixing in Joey's things with our decor. It's his house too and by golly, if he wants his "home office" set up right near the window, then he has the right to.
This has really given me inspiration for decorating our master bedroom and the nursery. Today my mom and I are headed out to Ikea and Pier One to get ideas. I am really digging light green this year for my bedroom and I have a good idea in my head about how I want the nursery to look. Think Carrie Bradshaw's apartment in the first Sex and the City movie. That blue color gives me envy, only if its a girl though. Hopefully I can get the go ahead from Josh to paint. Even though its a rental, they said we can paint; and actually, we hope to buy this house at some point.

Joey
I don't think its possible that I could love Joey more today then the day I gave birth to him, but my love seems to grow exponentially greater every day I am blessed to have him in our lives.
Last night we started a new tradition of Joey singing to baby. He's still a little confused on the details of how there is a baby in my tummy, seeing that there is just nothing there to evidence the fact. I explained that baby was the size of an apple at this point but would grow big to be a baby, it just takes time. This seems to have quelled his constant request to "take" the baby out of me so he can play with him/her. Anyways, bless his sweet little heart, he sang to baby our song that we sing to each other every night before bed, "You are my Sunshine." He really seems to be taking this big brother business seriously. Anytime I ask if he wants to have a baby brother or sister he says he wants a brother and wants to name him, "M, like the Letter of the Day at preschool." Okay.
Speaking of bedtime, we do the same routine every night. Normally I do all the prayers for him and then he sings to me and then I sing to him, but lately he has taken more interest in praying at dinner time, so I've changed it to where he prays and I help lead him. He always insist he needs help praying, but he is getting the hang of it.
Joey has grown up so quick before my eyes. I can't believe that in a few short weeks he will be 4. Although he exhibits wild tendencies on the exterior, inside he is one of the most loving, empathetic little boys I know. One of my favorite things he says is, "Guess what Mommy?" "What?" "I loooooovvvvveeeee you!"
Melts my heart!

The Baby Baking update
This week my ticker says I have just hit 15 weeks, but I am all sorts of confused because my doctors appointment this week is for my 16 week check up. It's funny that different sources tell you different due dates. Babycenter.com, my doctor, and the ultrasound technician all give me different dates. Oh well. I am sticking with August 29th though because my doctor says I won't go past that. Regardless of dates, we are still baking a healthy, perfect baby.
Babycenter says that my baby this week is:
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light.
I recently went in for a 12 week ultrasound plus lab testing to do a risk assessment. The ultrasound paired with the lab work screen for a multitude of potential problems the baby could have (down syndrome, spina bifida, etc.) While it can't tell exactly if a baby will have a problem, it will provide the risk of having such problems. The doctors seemed very optimistic at the ultrasound and said baby looked wonderful and that baby was very cooperative when it came to checking out all points of interest.
I have definitely noticed a difference in the past couple of days when it comes to morning sickness. It is starting to subside and I notice that my energy is returning. I find it funny that I am able to play in a whole volleyball tournament, but cleaning the kitchen exhaust me. I think that more comes down to what is more fun though. Speaking of volleyball, I continue to play as long as my body allows. I plan on playing up until the end of the 2nd trimester which should get me through the rest of club season and our spring rec league. But the final decision comes down to my doctor.
I am showing a little bit. My boss calls it a little pooch, really it could just be bloat, except it doesn't go away. But I can definitely tell my hips are getting a little bit wider and my pants don't quite fit. I am not going to lie, this is probably a lot more related to my food cravings then anything else.

Best Friends
Joey and his peers have gotten into a nasty habit in their preschool class about what makes you a best friend and what doesn't. Apparently the criteria is not consistent, nor considerate, but if you take a toy or push someone down you are more than likely to hear, "you aren't my best friend!"
Sounds cute. No? Well when it happens 27 million times per day I can imagine it only gets old and hurtful.
Anyways, this term has resonated over into our family life. The formula looks something like this. Joey gets upset/in trouble = "your aren't my best friend" (for punishing me). Lately, poor Uncle Cody has gotten the brunt end of not being Joey's best friend. Joey's words, not mine. However, if the last week or so has shown any improvement it's that Cody is back on the best friends list. Apparently owning a boat and promises of fishing are Joey's criteria and Cody seems to fit that bill. I think Uncle Cody letting you use his tools to help him lay down hardwood floor doesn't hurt either.
What strikes me about Joey's use of this term is how it means different things depending on the person it's directed at. For his best friend (truly) at school, Carter, is simply his really good friend. Although Carter is wise and tells Joey that he can't be best friends if he uses potty words. Smart Boy. But for Joey, in his eyes, Mommy is his real best friend. He tells me this all the time. "Mommy, you are my best friend." This happens at least 10 times a day. My first inclination was to put a stop to this, as I don't believe that parents and children are meant to be friends in any way. But I started to realize that for Joey, it is another way for him to say, "I love you, Mommy." Last night we were sitting on the couch, snuggling, watching Mickey's Silly Problem (for the umpteenth time) and he turned around, squeezed me tightly, and professed his love, "you are my best friend."
This warms my heart. Sometimes he just says, "I love you!" But other times, the other phrase is his way of saying, "I really love you."
There are times where I want to find ways to tell Josh or Joey, how much I really love them, because let's be honest, "I love you" sometimes doesn't express it as much as you mean.
So right now, Joey and I are best friends...Daddy too. But I can only imagine this will not last too much longer. I am thinking it's not hip to be "friends" with your Mom in kindergarten.
