So, it's a slow day at work (not really, I just don't want to work), and I got to thinking about the randomness that are my thoughts. They range throughout the day and it's kind of funny what I sit and ponder....here are some examples:
1. There is a human being inside of me
2. There is a human being inside of me that is moving...that's pretty cool
3. There is a human being inside of me that is moving and that did not feel so good
4. I have to pee
5. There is a human being inside of me that has a hand or foot stuck in my rib
6. Yeah!!! Baby furniture
7. Poor Heisman...he has no idea what's coming
8. I wonder if they have any fruit that's not 2 weeks old down in the cafeteria
9. I have to pee...again
10. I need to wash all his clothes
11. I am so excited for him to come!
12. Am I ever going to have a flat stomach/see my feet again
13. I bet they'll feel sorry for me and let me cut to the front of the line
14. That's a cute belt....I miss wearing belts
15. I need to pee...AGAIN!!!!
16. I am a huge fat slob!....I'm wearing tent dresses from now on =)
17. I'm a good look'n pregnant woman!
18. I'm hungry again
19. I wonder what Eric's doing
20. Hmm...there's a person in there...a person that has to come out!!!!
So I don't know if you call that crazy, neurotic, or just pregnant (which they probably all mean the same thing). And keep in mind when you see me...you don't know which of these thoughts is going through my head so BEWARE! ha ha.
As I have said...I have been so fortunate this entire pregnancy...so many of my friends have been so sick or on bed rest, etc. pretty much their entire pregnancy so I really am not complaining, but this is all starting to catch up to me now. I am so exhausted....and yes, I do realize I'm going to be getting less sleep once he comes....I am truly looking forward to the day that I can sleep on my stomach again and that I don't have to wake Eric up to hoist me out of bed...that one is actually pretty funny to see.
Last time we went to the Dr., Eric commented that he didn't understand why I kept saying I would LOVE to have him at 37 or 38 weeks if he decided to join us a little early...this is why I love my OB...he told him not only are the last 3 weeks (37-40) absolutely miserable, but that I would probably hate everything that came out of his mouth until that kid popped out (and probably for a while after..ha ha). He said, just remember...as far as she's concerned...this is your fault!!! Poor Eric. I don't think I've been too crazy or emotional, but I'm sure he'd have a different opinion. He has bought me flowers, rubbed my back...pretty much done anything that I asked. Now just because he did it doesn't mean I didn't change my mind and want it the complete opposite way, but he still did it =).
Okay, I have to do some work, but I hope that everyone has a Happy New Year! I'll be at the greatest restaurant in the world tonight...Capital Grille! Be safe!

On It's Way!
BB's room is slowly but surely being completed....the crib is put together with all the bedding and we will be getting the rest of the furniture this week! We also got the stroller/carseat too! The one we registered for ended up looking purple instead of blue (a little too feminine for BB) so we ended up taking it back and getting another one that I actually like much more. I told Eric that I at least feel better that we can now give him a place to sleep and something to ride home in! Here are a few pictures of the room/crib and of course one of the proud pappa who put the crib together =):
We are also getting drapes fr BB's room and when we went to PB Kids the other night they had curtain rods with footballs on the ends...so guess what we have for a curtain rod =). It's actually really cute and goes will with the rest of the room. I can't wait to get everything up!
Eric is downstairs right now working on getting the stroller put together so I'm staying out of the way...I'm not very mechanically inclined so it's probably best...hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!.....

Christmas Break is Coming!!!!!
Can I tell you how nice it is to know that I get off work at 12pm tomorrow...yet somehow stressful at the same time?!?!? I am so tired and so excited to have 3 1/2 full days off from work, but I'm so busy (yet I'm writing on my blog at work...hmmm)! With everyday that passes, it's one less before BB gets here, i.e. one less day I have to get everything transitioned to co-workers/boss before I am out for 12 weeks! I just don't want to be one of those people (and we've had them) who go out on leave and then everyone complains because they didn't get everything taken care of....oh well, all I know is that it's almost time relax. And no, I still haven't finished Christmas shopping!!!! I only have 2 people left, but I'm stumped. One is my best friend and I always put so much thought into her gift that it ends up stressing me out. I don't know why it's like that with her...the other one shouldn't be this difficult, but I just hate giving the same old generic Christmas gifts each year. I guess I will finish up tomorrow.
I am going fabric shopping tonight with my friend Shauna. We are going to figure out what type of drapes I want for BB's room. My friend Beth's grandmother offered to sew them so I can't pass on that!
A bit of sad news....my grandmother's best friend (of over 50 years) has recently been diagnosed with cancer (unknown primary from what she has said) and it has spread over her entire body. She has severe radiation burns on parts of her body and it in a tremendous amount of pain. They have actually decided to radiate her brain now. Just pray that the treatments go well with minimal side effects. She is actually a close family friend and it broke my heart to talk to my grandmother the other day. I think sometimes we forget what a blessing it is to have a grandmother (89) and a grandfather (92) who still live independently with virtually no medical problems (except for the typical old age stuff). Okay, I'm going to make a Grey's Anatomy reference here...Patsy is my grandmother's "person." They have given her 3-6 mo. Working where I do I think I have become very callous to the whole process of death/dying when someone is in pain. I just feel that it is so much better for them to go peacefully with quality of life than to live a few extra months in pain. Wow...this post has just taken on a completely unintended dark side. Basically, just pray for peace and reassurance for the family/friends and for her quality of life...
Okay, lets talk about something a little more upbeat...Eric's family is coming into town on the 26th-27th. For those of them that read this blog...you can't look in BB's closet! There are way too many things with his name on it...sorry =(. I'll let you peek in if you just want see what it looks like, but no name hints!
I know...we're evil, but only a few more weeks =)

I Never Thought It Would Happen To Me
Have you ever watched a TV show where the woman is big and pregnant, can't see her feet, and wore 2 different shoes....I WORE 2 DIFFERENT SHOES TO WORK!!! And they aren't even almost close! One is red, one is brown, and I have on black pants!!!!!!! I personally find it hilarious (along with everyone in my office) but I cannot believe that I did that! It really is not an issue of being big and not being able to see my feet...I just think it's baby brain. I was sitting at my desk, looked down, at my cute red shoe and then noticed the other one didn't quite work with my whole ensemble..
FYI...I plan to sit with my feet under my desk for the rest of the day!

3 Things That Made Me Happy Today....
First and foremost (and this probably should be the last one on the list) I got my hair color back to a more manageable color today...it feels so much better. I am the first to admit I'm a tad on the picky side when it comes to my hair, but I just couldn't stand the way it came out the last time. I love my hairstylist though....If you are in Houston and need a GREAT place to go, I love Blue Mambo (http://www.bluemambostudio.com/). Julie C. is the best. And what's crazy is that I was paying more going to Visible Changes where they almost always messed up my hair!
Second, I found out that we are getting BB's crib for Christmas!!! Yeah! I cannot wait to put it together. Well, actually to stand there and watch Eric put it together, but either way....I am so excited to start putting everything in his room!
Third, and probably the most important, I got some new information about my job. A little while ago I posted about my conflict of going back to work vs. staying at home. Well, my job has said that they are going to let me come back part time...and I can work 2 or 3 days a week! The major benefit of this is obviously that I get to stay home with my little man, but still get out of the house a few days a week. Plus I will get to keep insurance benefits. This was actually a HUGE deal because since Eric works at a start up company the insurance is not only sub par, but it is ridiculously expensive. I really feel like everything has fallen into place and this is what I am supposed to do. I really feel at peace with this...yeah!!!! I still have to figure out what I am going to do about childcare when I am at work, but I am positive that things will work out....
Anyway, I REALLY need to get motivated and finish Christmas shopping!!!! I am almost done, but it's those last few items that are really slowing me down. I'm just not sure what to get these people! Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure something out. I just don't want to be searching on Christmas Eve!
