OH baby.. OH baby.

Well, I've been called out on my lack of blog writing by my friend Valerie. I've been meaning to write for a while now.. but I am just so lazy. Really, I've been crazy busy lately and it seems as if I sometimes don't even have time for myself or Dan. Poor Dan. Anyway, thanks to Valerie's nagging (which wasn't really nagging) I decided to write again.

So, I'm still pregnant. I feel GINORMOUS. It's probably the least appealing feeling in the world. I'm excited to get this little guy out! Oh yah.. I guess it has been that long.. The baby is a Boy. His name is Samuel Dodge. NOT THE VEHICLE BRAND! My great great grandpa's name was Israel Dodge.

I've been working on a quilt for the baby with my mom (because I have no idea when it comes to quilting stuff). It's been enjoyable. I can tell it'll be a good thing for her to do as well while my dad will be in recovery. Long story short: he has to get open heart surgery sometime soon.. he was already supposed to have it.. unfortunately, I think he's been too darn stubborn and has taken a little too much Ibuprofin or probably stressing way too much about the surgery, that he has a HUGE ulcer in his stomach. Poor guy. His legs aren't working and it seems as if this guy who has the mindset of a 29 year old is stuck in a 90 year old man's body. He's using a walker and they are hooking up an attachment to the back of the jeep in the near future for the Jazzy! All the grandkids love that thing.. especially little Griffballs (Griffin.. Dave's son). Anyway, we are hoping to get that taken care of soon.. so that he can get better and start feeling the way he should. He'll have to get back surgery after the heart surgery to hopefully help his walking. We shall see and pray for the best.

Anyway, QUILT.. it's going to be so adorable. I've decided to do this little guy's room with trucks and cars. His dad approved that idea.. OBVIOUSLY. That's all Dan ever talks about or wants to tinker with. This little boy will definitely be a real boy. Even though my sister has threatened to have her daughter play barbies and ponies with him. BULL HONKY. She's going to be playing trucks and cars. ANYWAYS!! The colors are Orange, Aqua blue, and Grey. I've gotten the cutest fabric for it.. and it's just going to be a block quilt type one. I'm excited for it. 

Good news is that the morning sickness is gone! BUT: heartburn galore has arrived.. and the whole feeling like the fattest whale on the planet.. and now I just get to keep getting bigger. Hopefully the whole breastfeeding and eating normal foods (I guess exercise.. BLAH) will help get me back into chip chop shape. A few other things still happen and are annoying.. teeth brushing, smells of some sorts, peeing when you sneeze.. and having to pee every 5 minutes!! you know.. the works.

I Biffed it the other day walking up the cement stairs to our apartment.. my legs are pretty messed up from it.. and I landed on my stomach too! That part was SCARY. I couldn't feel the little guy move for a while after.. which had both me and Dan in tears. (he might deny that) I also dropped Dan's drink and most of it spilled out all over the ground and me.. (which could be why Dan was teary eyed) but the little guy Finally started going crazy as he always does. I still felt as though I should call the Dr.. so, I called and it turns out that if he was still moving and there was no bleeding or anything.. I was safe. Thank heavens. 

That's all I have for now. I will work on my blog writing.
