The Best Part of Being Pregnant

Here is the best part of being pregnant: BOOBS! Aren't they nice?

Pregnancy week 26

Ok so I decided to let you guys know what is going on in my Pregnancy in case you care.................So every week I will let you know the ins and outs of Baby Dillon:

Your baby now weighs a little less than 2 pounds and measures about 14 inches, from head to heel. The nerve pathways in his ears are developing, which means his response to sounds is growing more consistent. His lungs are developing now, too, as she continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when she's born and takes that first breath of air. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.

Around this time, your blood pressure may be increasing slightly as it returns to its normal pre-pregnancy range. (It was at a low from 22 to 24 weeks.)

If your back seems a little achy lately, you can thank pregnancy hormones (which are loosening up your joints and ligaments) and your shifting center of gravity. Walking, standing, or sitting for long periods, bending and lifting can all put a strain on your back. A warm bath — or cool compress — might bring relief. Or you may want to schedule a prenatal massage by a trained therapist. Use a pregnancy wedge when sleeping, to support your back and abdomen. Try to maintain good posture, which will help reduce the strain on your back, and always take care when bending and lifting.

Ouch

Long story short, I fell down my steps outside this morning. I could not get up, and I cried for help and no one could hear. When I could get up, I had to crawl inside because Dakota was inside, and I called Dennis and he took me to the doc. Baby Dillon is ok and we ran some tests to make sure it was all ok. I, on the other hand, have broken my tail bone, I am pretty sure. If it is not broken, it is pretty damn close. I did not go to a doc for that because there is nothing that can be done, and since I am pg, I can not take any pain meds. I am at my mom's house so she can help with Dakota since I can barely walk. I am an idiot I know, but in my defense, the steps were icy and I was wearing dress shoes. At least I didnt have Dakota with me (I was just going to warm up the car) because he could have been really hurt. When the thought of what happened isn't so traumatizing, I will fill you in on the schematics of my fall, because when broken down, it is kind of humorous

ok we suck

I know I have made a huge deal out of the new baby's name, but we have decided to change it again. It will not be Ryder. I do not know what it will be but I will let you know when I decide. I may make a new baby name poll. I just started to not like Ryder anymore. I know I am weird

And he shall be called

RYDER NICHOLAS PARROTT!!!!!!!!

It's A

BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby #2

We find out on November 4 at 8:45 a.m. what we are having. We should be out of the doc at 10 am because I have a reg appt too. So check on here and you will know if it is a boy or girl. I am going to call all that I can, email others, and post it on here.

Frozen Custard, Twins, and Skanks

Ok here is the deal. As a rule of thumb, you never ask a woman if she is pregnant unless she is wearing a “baby on board’ shirt, you can see the baby coming out of her vagina, or you recently had unprotected sex with her. You just don’t do it. It is not right. If you are wrong and the person is not pregnant, then you have ruined their life, and made yourself look like a jackass. You would think that women would know this better than anyone else, especially mothers, but apparently not.

I went to Ritter’s yesterday with my mom, Sister, and Dakota to have some frozen custard. There was a skank lady in there with her 5 year old daughter (who was cute). Dakota was being a show off and kept looking at them, and staring. Here is what happened after that:

Skank: How old is he?

Me: 19 months old

Skank: That will be a good age difference for the kids

Me: (secretly stunned that she even noticed my pregnancy)

Skank: When are you due?

Me: March, I know it is a long way away.

Skank: Are you having twins?

Me: No, I have had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and there was only one baby.

Skank: Well sometimes it does not show up at first

Me: Yeah well I do not have twins in my family, and I think it is just one

Skank: Well you should get a second opinion because you are huge. I mean it is all in your stomach, but you are definitely having twins.

Me: Ok I will look into it (on the inside I wanted to yell at her and tell her she was rude and I was just fat, and thanks for pointing it out)



Now, while I was not offended that she noticed my pregnancy because I was wearing a maternity tank top because it is the only tank I have, so my pregnancy was made obvious, I guess. I was so embarrassed, and I know my mom wanted to die because she thinks I am too fat anyways, so I am sure now she really thinks that.

So anyways, I am supposed to go out of town this weekend, and now I do not even want to be seen in public. BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Boredom

Ok, well Dennis works all of the time, and it is just me and Dakota all of the time. We watch Disney Channel all of the time. I am starting to go nuts. I felt like I was suffering from very delayed post-partum depression. So I thought I would watch some movies that I would like, and even though I had Dakota, try to enjoy some me time. So I found a made for tv movie, and then another and another. So I have been watching Lifetime for hours on end. I think it has depressed me more. It is so sad. I am pretty sure that Lifetime is TV's answer to Delila. Pretty much makes you want to down a bottle of wine and pain killers and sulk (ok maybe not that drastic, but you get the point). Yet I am addicted and I keep watching and watching. So I guess that makes me pretty much a loser for sitting at home on a Saturday night watching Lifetime movies. The sad part is, that even if Dakota was at my parent's or something, I would not be doing anything different, except maybe sleeping. If I were not pregnant I would bide my time until Dakota went to bed, and then drink some wine and sit on the back porch and chill. Sounds stupid, but feels very nice. But for some reason without the wine, it loses its touch. Oh well Dennis will be home soon, and Dakota will be in bed, and I can have some much needed alone time with my wonderful Husband who works so hard for his family. He really is awesome. I guess I am pretty much a bitch for complaining about being at home watching chick flicks while my husband works two jobs. Oh well I am over it now. Funny huh? Hormones!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading

So I have decided that I want to start reading more, besides the required reading for school. I wanted to read educational things, smutty books, biographies, etc... Anything as long as it is something I want to read, instead of have to read. I just finished a book by Jane Green called 'Babyville'. It is too funny, and made me wish I lived in London or somewhere similar. All of her characters are based there. The reason I want to live there is because they seem to be more sophisticated than I am. Also they are free to use the word 'Fuck' whenever they want, and I really would like to call people 'wankers' without sounding weird. That being said, I would only want to be one of the characters from the books, honestly, I do not want to be French. But if we are talking in a literary sense, I do enjoy reading about the fictional French (did any of that make sense?)

I am now reading '100 People who are screwing up America". I simply love this book. I know that most of my liberal friends on here would probably assume burn the book, but it is a good read for me. Except for the opening of the book alludes to an extreme dislike for the F bomb, and anyone who knows me, knows that it could possibly be my favorite word of all. And there are other points I may not agree on 100% probably because of the age I grew up in, and because sometimes I love vulgarity. So to each its own. If you are ever in a book store and just have a second to pick the book up, please look at #'s 95 and 90. I do not care what your political persuasion, you will laugh.

Also, if you are looking for some fun mindless reading, that just is fun to enjoy, and if you like the F bomb and the word wanker, please buy Jane Green's books. Too funny.

And baby makes 4

I know they say not to talk about your pregnancy too soon, but I do not care. me talking about it wont change whatever God has planned. I go to the Doc on August 15 at 9:45am. Anyone wanna watch Kota while I go? Oh and here is a poll I have set up.. I will find out mid October what I will have.

Growing UP

Ok so I have been trying to think about what I want to be when I grow up, and I have nothing. So I thought those of you who know me, could tell me what I should be when I grow up. The only rules that I will default on all jobs that require nudity or clowns. Oh, and the more money the better, or the best benefits possible. I wish they still had those career assessment things that you got in middle school that told you what you were going to be when you grew up. That would be nice. It would be even better yet if the test could pick your major, tell you what career field to go into, and then find you a job. I am scared to go back to work. Especially since I will have my MBA. I feel like so much more will be expected of me and I do not know if I will be able to live up to it. I could continue to just keep making babies so that I could stay home, however, I think that would be counter productive in the long run. :) So I am relying on the help of my friends to point me in the right direction. Oh, and for those of you in the 'know' I am praying that I will be able to use the 'R' name soon. I will let you know in a few weeks if there will even be a name, and then let you know if it will be an 'R'. If you do not know what I am talking about, then you dont need to........haha
