32 Weeks!

32 Weeks pregnant! I can't believe it and I still feel so good.  I've gotten so used to being pregnant by now that I tend to forget there's a baby at the end of all of this...when I really sit down and think about it, freaks me out a little.


I went from being more tired last month and needing some naps to having energy again and not sleeping nearly as much as I used to!  I even get up at 8 now a days people! Those of you who know me well, know that my days didn't get started till 9 or 9:30 the past 3 years. I like it, I really enjoy the mornings and I'm a happy morning person.

I'm finding it hard to wear my ring some days...My hands and feet have started to swell a little bit here and there...but looking at them you wouldn't know.  Don't know if it's fat or the hot weather that's doing it or a combination of both.  My thighs always get big when I"m pregnant...I like big thighs on girls, I think curves are hot but I don't appreciate the cellulite...on the FRONT of my thighs....oh joy.

I've had horrible allergies the past two weeks, it's miserable and I hate taking medicine while pregnant so I've only treated the symptoms twice and just dealt with the itchy eyes and constant sneezing and runny nose.
We lived here this time last year and my allergies didn't bother me, hope it's the pregnancy and that next year won't be the same thing.

I really don't have much to report except that the idiots who did my 3 hour glucose test messed up (come on you had one job!) and didn't label my times right so they could not test it properly and it was inconclusive.  Are you kidding me! I wasted half my day and suffered for nothing!!! Aunt Emily graciously drove an hour to keep Brielle for me and my daddy drove to Denton with me and sat there for 3 hours as well just in case I got sick and needed someone to drive me to get food at the end (like I did when this happened with B.)

 The Dr. would like for me to do the test over said the nurse....I DON'T THINK SO!  Sorry not doing that you're gonna have to figure something else out...oh and I'm not paying for the first test or the next one either.
On Monday I have another check up and they are going to draw blood one more time (this will be 5 times now) and do a different test they do for diabetics so I don't have to do the 3 hour fasting one again.  It's not fun waiting around wondering if you have gestational diabetes...I'm more annoyed than worried though.

My little Honey Gorgeous has been to all my appointments with me...which I love cause when I was pregnant with her Landon was always there...now he'd have to drive waaaay to far to come with.

I couldn't get enough of this outfit and little girl!

 

 

 

She's so good at my appointments...she just sits there and colors.

Afterwards we stopped for some cheesy bread sticks at pizza hut.  I did have to fast all night and the morning for that new test they were going to do so I was hungry!

We also had our maternity photos taken at 32 weeks.  Here's a sneak peak from my phone.

This belly button of mine has been sticking out since I can remember in this pregnancy....You could see it through my dress so I put band aids on it to keep it under control for the photos lol!  Look how lopsided my belly is...He likes the right side for sure if you can't tell : )  Sweet baby boy!

Update...glucose test came back fine!  Thank goodness..what a waste of time though.

Tanner's Bachelor Party

All of Landon's best friends from Amarillo came to town a couple weekends ago for Tanner's bachelor party.  Brian's family owns a lake hows and the guys had it all to themselves. I begged Landon to remember to take pictures so this blog wouldn't be solely about Diana and Brielle's lives lol.


I couldn't imagine what they did all weekend......

He never looks this happy with me! lol!

I was glad he got to spend the weekend relaxing with his favorite people and wake boarding of course. That's one of his favorite sports now that he doesn't get to do too often, but he's dang good at it considering!  Landon's good at anything he tries!

 

The neighbors had 3 doberman pinschers and a rottweiler (how flippin cool is that!)They kept running back and forth and jumping into the water haha.  Landon was kicking himself for not getting a picture/video.

 

After a day of wake boarding they hit up the Rangers game.

 

 

I'm a little jealous he go to hang with these guys......I love these idiots guys!

Some of them just couldn't hang baahaa! I told them to put something in his mouth...nobody listens to me...he's lucky I wasn't there!

Our Weekend

Landon's friend Tanner is getting married in a few weeks. ( I can't go because of this condition I have called being to close to your due date for comfort, so sad I can't be there) The guys decided to have his bachelor party in Dallas cause one of their in laws owns a lake house and a wake boarding boat.  Can you say Landon was in heaven!  Here's four of the seven that went.
Greg, Tanner, Austin and Landon or better known as
The Gap, Tucker, Wylie and Radio. (poor Landon...why does he have to be radio, he's not THAT slow)


So Brielle and I had a girls weekend, we practiced patterns.

  

Good gosh it's lizard season again!  I think I'm more nervous around them than they are of me.  I am thankful they eat the flies and mosquitoes!

Here's a chameleon ..I saw him scurry across the sidewalk and he was bright green, by the time I got to him he was almost brown.  Love the teal around his eyes!

We had a morning out and got breakfast which we never do so it was a rare treat!

Then Brielle got a surprise from Gigi and Gannpa in the mail.

She wasn't excited at all haha.

 

 They sent her two cd's with kids silly songs and a praise and worship cd complete with activity book and stickers.

Then we helped the little Asian  Colombian lady trim her crazy bushes.

Brielle and Papa Lou were a big help..........

After trimming bushes all morning we needed a dip in the pool to cool off.

Then we got a call from the Coleman's to meet them for dinner in Grapevine, that was so fun cause Brielle and I were planning on just getting food by ourselves. Chloe had on one of Brielle's little shirts when she was her age....she looked sooo cute, brought back memories and made me a little sad all at the same time!  I didn't get a picture of her in it though dangit!! I'm happy to see those little outfits go on!

 

Sunday after Church we ate lunch at Lita's house and dug through my grandmas old cedar chest and found some treasures. 

 

 I totally remember my grandma carrying this purse to church all the time.  It's a vintage 1950's something (I could give you the brand but this pregnant girl ain't going all the way back down the stairs and back up to tell ya that!)  I'm going to start carrying it...I think it's quite chic and fashionable!

Haha old man!

Oh and guess what we got to say bye bye to!!!???

The idiots that lived here before us tiled over tile so when they ripped it out they took out most of the sheet rock too.  Not a big deal unless you're Landon and I and were planning on doing our own back plash   Now we have to cut out the rest of the sheet rock and replace it until we get back splash next year.  Nothing can just go easy and smooth around here, there's always surprises!

The longest piece of granite looked like this...UM that doesn't fly with me....yes I know it's a natural stone and it's not all going to look perfect but I can't deal with that, especially for as much as that crap costs!

I had them take it back...they brought back 3 more pieces for me to pick from to try to match all the other ones they already put down. The only problem is the guys didn't tell me when it arrived and they picked the one they thought looked best and started cutting away. Well complete waste of their time cause I didn't like that one either..it was too white, it didn't match the others!!! So they had to send that one back and returned with the other two I didn't get to see which I still didn't like. They went home and told me they'd send more for me to choose from and they'd finish tomorrow. The "3 hour" job they were supposed to do turned into a 6 hour job that day. I felt bad for them but I knew I'd be mad at myself every time I saw that huge black streak that I didn't at least try to get a better looking piece of granite. The next day 2 other guys returned (ha the others were fed up with me I guess) and they brought back 3 more slabs....the heavens opened up and shown down because they actually got it right this time and found a perfect match to all the rest of the granite!!! Now I'm extremely happy I was super picky and made them change it!!!

Good bye and good riddens you nasty infested tile counter tops!!

Now some of you may have just kept the granite and gone on with your lives, but I come from a family where when we were little and were allowed to get a new toy or  shirt or shoes, my sisters and I would look through every single one and see which one was the most best and perfect one.  If it was a stuffed animal we would inspect the stitching and especially the eyes...you don't want crazy eyes or an animal who's smile isn't symmetrical or a crooked nose!  My poor parents...they must have been so annoyed with us.

Just last month when my sister Sherry Ann was here she found a hat she wanted and her and I went through every single one they had like it and narrowed it down to the best two so she could pick the perfect one haha! Does that make us crazy?

Finally Landon came home!! I miss him so much even if it is only two days that he's gone!

By now you know if we can do it ourselves and save money we are gonna do it...so I found a fabulous BIG stainless steel sink on craigslist and my good looking plumber installed it for free.  Landon's never done any plumbing work and we were both pretty proud at the great job he did.  With my fabulous shopping skills and his plumbing, numb chuck and bow hunting skills we saved ourselves a couple hundred dollars and learned a thing or two along the way!

While dad worked Brielle and I did some art.

She was pretty proud of her pirate ship and flag on top.
(what is up with this kid and all these boy shows she liked) I'm starting to get a wee bit concerned. Especially since she hates Sophia the First now and cries when it comes on...seriously?

Oh I'm good!

One last very important amazing thing...Brielle can write her name! For my records I want to know how old she was which is 3 1/2. Don't know if she's ahead, right on or behind and I don't care...I'm just a super proud momma!!! I think she's really going to like school.  She's always asking if she can practice writing her name....when I was her age I'm pretty sure I was asking if I could be a dog.

 

Weekend Without Plans

This weekend was pretty plan free, I love having things to do but love these types of weekends equally as much!
I made these little cards for B for word recognition and she looooved them.....she did it over and over and over, literally like 10 times that day!  I'd have her read the color on the colored paper out loud and then say the color out loud as well when she found it on he white one.


She was so proud she could "read" her colors, she just had to show dad as soon as he got home!

 Marcus baseball game.  Those nachos were dang good!

We painted Hanson's chaining table that Aunt Emily and Uncle Trent gave us.

 

Organized our garage.........

and set aside things we wanted to sell...........
$500 plus tax...anyone?

I made homemade corn dogs..yum!

Poor little Eskimo! We would never sell you!

 

And we got sno cones!! I don't know about where you come from but in Amarillo you can get a small for like $1.25 and that's all I ever get cause half way through my toungue is so cold I can't taste anymore anyways so a large would be a waste to me....I was shocked and not very happy at these prices!!! What the heck!
We'll give Amarillo that one! So far the tally is...
Dallas: 173
Amarillo: 35

But they do have fun things for kids to do!
