Today was a funny day for miss alivia. well not exactly funny to her… but funny in another way,

we were all in the pool, mom, jason, me and livi. livi was on one of the big rafts and i was standing next to it with both hands on the raft and talking on my cell phone. Livi was sitting on the raft throwing water balls off it. All of a sudden she reached out allittle too far and toppled over head first into the water on the opposite side of the raft from me. i watched this happening and just reached over and grabbed her by the leg and pulled her up.

she was scared and not happy. me and jason were cracking up but felt bad at the same time. jason was in another raft a few feet away and my mom was skimming the top of the pool for bugs and had her back to us. 2 seconds. thats all it took and the kid was under water.

she goes under water often but is still learning. but this really shook her. she was fine and within a minute we were chasing my mom around the pool.

i was no longer on my cell phone.

then livi got out of the pool and was going back and forth from the deck to the picnic table below… she comes back a few minutes later to jump in the pool again and she shows me her finger and says its burning. so i look at it and she has her first splinter. completly in the pointer finger. so i held her and mom and jason tried to get it out with pointy tweasers. no luck and one very unhappy kid.

so mom went back in the house to get better tweasers. and a paci and some chocolate. LOL. i help her and mom and jason kept her arms out and hand open while alivia screamed completly bloody murder. my sis got home at the same time and came out of the sunroom wondering what the heck was going on. LOL. she thought something horrible was happening. it was just a lil splinter.

She is one funny kid man. i love her. i keep picturing her lil face coming up from under the water with her eyes open so wide. lol.

oh yeah… and there is a frog that has been  hanging out at our pool for the past week… alivia calls him her freinds and talks to him like it is a baby. ” awe, hi tiny baby froggi” LOL and pets it

i have not had the baby yet, and am still miserable.

i will let you all know when that changes. goodnight

I am sooooo excited for Jason right now. He sent me a text today…. hours after iw as expecting one…. that just said ” passed, call u at lunch”. I was sooooo excited.

He called and said he passed everything and that it was pretty easy except for the 2nd run portion which is a 500 yard dash ( i think) that has to be done in a certain amount of time.  he said almost all of the women who were there failed at that part. i probably would have too. the running is the hardest for me. but then again- i would NEVER be taking the trooper pt test. lol.

then he also said ( later on) that he got a Monday 1pm interview slot which is GREAT. so now he is either going to fly home on monday night, or early tuesday am. and he has the whole week off of work, b/c we didnt know when he would be back.

if he passes the interview then the last step ( i think) is the back ground investigation which is would def pass, b/c he has never been in trouble…….

so things are working out and God has been great. looks like the doors that have been shutting here have been seriously opening some other doors else where.

its crazy to think that he could possibly be in trooper acdemy in jan and me and livi and bryson could be moving out there in end of june beginning of july next year! WOW.

talk about a life change….. this would be the biggest 12 months of our lives as far as changes go…

1. moving in with my parents

2. hvaing baby bryson

3. jason going to trooper school for 5.5 months across trhe country

4. us all moving across the country…

all in 12 months!

woa… talk about a little stress…. sounds like something more up my freind jon and nicoles alley. lol.

i like it though and i am so so sosososossososososo excited to see what God has in store for us. At this point, i am not even scared. just so excited.

but right now, i need to go lay down, eat some TUMS ( gone through a huge bottle in less than 4 weeks) and read and then try to go to sleep at a decent hour. if not… then food network will be turned on. lol.

THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BLESSED US WITH. WE LOVE YOU!

last august.. wah wah wah wah wah.. and i was a little heavy here….

hellooooooooooooooo

its funny that i g ot one phone call and a few messgaes from my facebook freinds, wondering why i wasnt on facebook by the afternoon. lol.

well this is why

alivia got up at 8 like normal, i went up to change her and bring her down to the kicthen. i was coming down the stairs, and i went a few stairs down, then turned around to hold her hand. as i turned, i slipped somehow and slid one or two stairs down. i let go of her and slammed my arm into the wall… hitting the ONLY thing on it.. a large glass framed picture.

i think i said a bad word, which i never say, and looked first at my bleeding arm,  then up at the completly cracked and shattered frame and saw the blood in the frame and i was like oh no! and i yelled MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, LOL. i set down the dirty diaper and coupons iw as h olding and went and woke up my mom. at the same time my sleeping sister yelled out asking if my water just broke. lol. iw ish.

i went to my moms room dripping blood all over the floor and my step dads dirty clothes and she took one look at it and said i was gonna need stitches. she wrapped it up, i got changes, jason called work and said she was gonna be late, he stayed with livi and me and mom went to urgent care.

one hour later i was getting stitched up. 4 stitches and ne tetnis shot later, i was on my way back home.

on the way to the dr my mom got a phone call saying that my great aunt dorrie- who has been sick for a long long time, had passed away this am. my mom is of course really upset about this,….. it was the last living relative from her moms side. my mom, mother died 30 years ago. so i never met her. i havent seen my aunt dorrie in many many years either. i feel bad. RIP AUNT DORRIE.

then i came home got livi and headed to joys for a playdate to show off my cook bandaged arm ( LOL) and my mom calls and tells me that her good freind Mrs. Lefner called to say her husband died this am. he was complaining of chest pains, so she left the room to call the dr ( or 911- i am not sure) and when she came back in, he was dead. how aweful.

i hear that people die in 3rs….. so i am a little worried as to what will happen next. i pray it is not me or anyone of my freinds or family. i dont think i could handle that.

aside from all of this, jason got his test results back from cali today. he passed. he is heading back on friday am, and we dont know when he will be home. it all depends on if he passes the pysical and when they schedule his interview for during the week. i hope it will be early- like on monday. b/c i really dont want to have the baby while he is gone.

ok… thats it- i need a nap.

ok, so today i went for my 36 week check up… even though i will be 37 weeks on monday. they told me i weigh 214. TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN POUNDS. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

that is the heaviest i have ever been in my life, and let me promise you, i will never ever weight even close to that after i have this baby, or ever ever again. and i still have more weight to gain. i know i will be over 220 by the time this kid desices to grace me with his presencse.

which i also beleive will happen next weekend when jason goes back to cali.

there were 2 HUGE ladies in the waiting room, one was preggers with her 4th and the other just had her fourth and they both asked me if iw as having twins. LOL. i was like, um NOPE, i just get huge.

i seriously hope that a 10 pound baby comes out b/c at least that would count for something.

i can not beleive how much i weigh…. crazy! i know thta i dont help it any with how much i eat while preggers, but at this point ( and many other points during this and the last pregnancy) i dont really care. i will never again eat like this or look like this.

but seriously……. how can i put this much weight on i know… tons of food, and no exercise for the past 5 months. lol. plus the first 3 months.. so that leaves me with 2 months of workouts during the  2nd trimester. geez.

i cantw ait to run, to do sit ups, and squat thrusts and power yoga till my mat is covered in sweat. i cant wait. i cantw ait to eat just good healthy food and watch my scale go down everyday and NOT up.

blah blahblah…. can i complain anymore? YES i think i can. so i should just go now.

peace out jigga roni.

ps… i know that i am blessed to even be able to have a baby so i am thankful for that. i just hate the pregnancy part… lol

its saturday morning and me and mom and livi are gonna stop by the mechanicville kids day and then possibly to stillwater for the family day…. its so nice out.

and then come home and jump in the cold but really refreshing looking pool.

jason has been in cali since yesterday. he has sent me lots of great pictures of the beach, some seals, a few horizon shots, and the inside and outside of the gym that his freind works at. he is staying with a guy that is freinds with his dad…..

he likes it there alot. but says that it woudl be a really big change…. my response… DUH its CALIFORNIA and completly across the US… LOL.

he also said that before we make a final decision, he would want me to go therw iwth him and spend a little time. sounds great to me,… specially if we can do it with out our babies…. which i am sure we could do with the help of nana severance and nana fischer! LOL

he also called me froom LuLu Lemon store and i was so jealous. he bought me a great pair of yoga pants though… i am hoping they will fit after i have the baby….. and hold in my big fat  stretched out super loose tummy. haha, how did you liek that decsription?

well i need to go shower…. but oh yeah- it is 11 am here and he is most likely just getting ready to start the exam there ( 8am)… i cantw ait to hear from him after he is done.

i love him and i really want this for him, wether it is in cali or colorado, or whatever state it is that will hire him. it will make him so happy. so please pray that if this is Gods will for his life than it will happen. and soooooooooooooon.

have a super fab day!

… i took livi to the doctor today for some tummy aches that made her scream in pain. scary. i wont really get into all of that b/c she is fine, but what i do want to say is that they wanted to get a urine sample.

they asked if she would be able to pee in a cup of if they would need to bag her. i said we would try the cup. so we went to the bathroom and i had to use the alcohol wipes to wipe her 3 times first and then set her on the adult toilet and try to get her to pee, and me catch it in a cup. IT WORKED. like  charm. good thing she gets lots of practice here, but some days we wont try at all and other days she will pee on the potty 2 times.

i was so proud of her for doing such a big girl thing. lol.

i then texted jason and told him ” she peed in a cup in the toilet” and his response was ” why was there a cup in the tilet?” LOL. OMG!!! what a dad thing to say.

……….

other than that… we have been at moms for 10 days now.  things are going good and we are really blessed to have them. i do however feel really bad for the 2 dogs and 2 cats , b/c alivia chases them all the time. and she also kicks them…. lol. poor animals.  those of you who know me, know that i do not like or really care at all about animals. but i do not allow this, and i do not want them to get hurt…. so we do lots and lots of time outs b/c of this.

jason goes to california on friday. i cant wait. i dont want him to be gone, but i am just so excited to see what is going to happen. we  did find out that the trooper academy is 5 1/2 months there and then 12 months required work wherever they choose for you, and then you pick your top 3 places where you would like to go and then do your 90 day probabtion there. so i am just sooooo excited to find out how he does and if he gets in.

last night after yoga, me and joy went to target to have some time out without the kiddos…. and i bought a bag of target brand maui onion potato chips and a small things of sour cream… i started to eat it in the store just walking around……. then after we paid, we sat in the cafe area to eat some more…. we ate the entire full size bag ( 15 servings) and the entire sour cream ( 5 servings) …. i think i ate about 75 % and joy only ate about 25%…. LOL…. we  both felt aweful later in the evening and i paid for it maorly with heartburn. lol.

no more of that.

i am hoping to go into labor in 2 weeks.

i am having a teeny weeny lil shower this weekend t my freinds beths house, and then i am turning 28 on thursday june 11th and having a nice dinner at my dads…. i want to have the baby after that. LOL.

i want to get all my presents first. LOL.

this is all of the randomness for now……

Jon and Linda…. i know i have been slacking a litle, so i will try to update like every ther day! keep reading!

hello hello….. last night was the 2nd night at my moms and livi has not been sleeping well, so neither have jason or i.  alivia was up 4 times the first night and 2 times last night…. no good. plus i have that whole….. feel like you are sleeping in a new apartment feeling and i cant sleep well b/c of that PLUS being so fregging huge and uncomfortable on top of it.

my parents live on a nice little piece of land and its surrounded by trees and woods….so the mosquitos are ridiculous. i hate them. i wish they would all die.

i was going to call my OB today b/c i feel like someone kicked me in the crotch, but i decided after re-reading my what the expect book, that what i am feeling is pretty normal. maybe its just my super low tolerance for pain that is driving me nuts. but seruiously, i dont know whats worse…. the 12 weeks of being sick in the beginning or the 8 weeks of feeling like someone kicked me in the crotch or that eveytime i stand up….. a head is gonna come out of me.  i hate this.

i just want bryson to be born already!!!!!

less than 2 full weeks now and jason will be on his way to cali… i hope this works out….. i would love to know whats going on and so would he.

but in the meantime, the first few days at my moms have not been bad at all. i have done some organzing for them, including cleaning out the fridge and throwing away 1/2 of what was in it and expired!!!!! and taking an inventory of the cabinets and frezer so we can start to actually use the massive amounts of food that are in there…. instead of just continuing to buy more.

tonight we are starting with one of my least favorite, and one of jasons favorite…. manwhich. or… sloppy joe. YUCK. i will be eating a nice salad and some whole steamed artichokes.

i havent decided what i will be cooking tomorrow, but thursday night is the night we always go to my dads……

ok…i need to go turn on alivias monitor and hope that she is sleeping so i can take a lil nap before i need to cook dinner for  timmy ( step dad) and get ready to go teach yoga…..

have a super fab day… and seriously…. those of you who read this and have a blog…. UPDATE IT!!!! why have a blog if you arent gonna update it????

if you do update it, then ignore this comment! LOL

hello there- it is super hot today, i am huge and over 200 pounds now. i am 34 weeks along and ready to die.

i am having one of those super emotional, 100 % miserable, cry for absolutly no reason kind of days today. its aweful.

we are moving out on sunday and after my mother in law being here for 5 days and helping us clean and pack…… somehow alivia and i have managed to let the house get trashed in the past 24 hours. and we hardly have anything here.

its too hot to spend the whole day outside like we did yesterday and like alivia has done the past few days….. but its too hot to stay inside. i need to have one of those little fans that you can hold at your face and spray a mist of water on at the same time just to keep me semi cool.

i cant wait to just move into my moms house on sunday and be done with it.

i cant wait for jason to go to cali on june 5th and take the trooper test. i cant wait for him to possibly go back on june 19th and take the 2nd test and fin dout when training starts.

i cant wait to have baby bryson.

i cant wait to go back to my 150 weight and be completly happy with that…. i dont think i will EVER think 150 is chunky for me ever again after being preggers twice.

i cant wait for God to show us what we will be doing and where we will be living in the next 6-12 months…..

i cant wait for my little baby shower……

i CAN wait for the pain of labor, but i want it to just hurry up and start.

while my mother in law was here- she read us a quote from the bible… i think it was from phil……talking about how we are supposed to be thankful for ALL things, not just the things we want or need, or even think we need, but to be thankful for all things….. i need to stay focused on that.
