Girl's Gone Child: 24 Weeks

How far along? 24 weeks! Is time flying and dragging at the same time or what?!

Total weight gain: -13 lbs

Maternity clothes? All my pants are getting very uncomfortable, even my beloved sweats.

Stretch marks? around my belly button.

Sleep: Awful! I am so tired I can’t believe I am even writing this post! Anyways, for those of you who know me, know I have an extremely weak bladder as it is and LOVE LOVE LOVE to drink lots of water. That leaves me going to the bathroom every 10-25 minutes and baby has been using my bladder as a trampoline until about 3 am every night this week.

Best moment this week: Really feeling his kicks become stronger than just feeling like a “poke” from outsiders. Matt’s favorite thing to do is lay his head on my belly and have him kick his head. Haha!

Miss Anything? Sleep and alcohol.

Movement: constant.

Food cravings: Arby’s roast beef!! I had it after craving it for a week and it actually did not satisfy! L  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Ever since I had my gallbladder out I’ve only puked once. They are thinking maybe that’s the reason I had been continuously sick sooo hopefully it helps!

Gender: BOY!!

Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: tired! peeing while laughing, sneezing, puking, etc. TMI?

Belly Button in or out? INNY

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy for the most part! A bit stressed since Matt's little pickup broke down the other day. It's pretty old and was about to die anyways but the thought of buying a car, missing work for surgery and having a newborn on the way is stressing me out! This is why it's important I finish school and get a damn good job! I don't want to struggle forever.

Looking forward to: seeing everyone at the baby shower and just having a good time! J

People keep asking me if I will "PAH-LEASE" tell them the name we chose but I'm sticking to my word and proving my mother-in-law wrong. We can keep it a secret!

Instead I'll show you what my cousin is making us for the nursery!

How adorable, right!?

Girl's Gone Child: 23 Weeks + Surgery

What a whirlwind of a week already! As many of you know I had my gallbladder taken out on Friday. I was released from the hospital yesterday after 3 days and 2 nights staying on the OB floor. I was their only patient most of the time and I was bummed because I wanted to see some babies in the nursery windows!

Anyways, Thursday morning I woke up with an awful pain in my upper right side and I didn’t know what the heck it was. I went to work and tried to ignore the pain but it was so awful it was like leaving me a little breathless. A lady I work with convinced me to call my OB and of course, he was home recovering from his own surgery. He has a wonderful staff though and they encouraged me to go see my family doctor and keep them updated.

So, I went to my family doctor and she, of course, thought it was my gallbladder since it was so tender in that area. I was then directed to the surgeon on call and he thought it was my gallbladder too so after about 5 hours of just doctor visits I was admitted to the hospital.

They took me to ultrasound soon after I arrived and looked at all my beautiful organs and then did a full OB ultrasound. I literally was there for 2 hours doing my ultrasound. Why did it take so long? Well, as the ultrasound tech stated we have a squirmer on our hands making it hard for him to get good pictures of all the baby organs as well. We had 3 people call the room asking if we were done yet because they needed to get some more lab work from me and the radiologist came in waiting to read the results. Haha!

The baby literally goes crazy when anyone presses on his territory. He kicked the nurse when she was trying to measure his heart rate and kicked my friend Adrienne when she pressed on my belly during her visit. He’s currently kicking my sore areas and I’m glad he only weighs a little more than a pound so it’s not too painful.

Anyways, after the ultrasound they were ready to start my IV and get some fluids in me since I was severely dehydrated. It literally took the nurse 10 minutes to get the IV in because my vein kept rolling to the side when she tried to get it in and I was laughing so hard I was almost in tears. Matt and my Mom were like, “you haven’t had any pain meds yet so why are you acting so goofy!?” and I said, “remember on Major Payne when the guys leg is like blown off at the beginning of the movie and he’s like ‘want me to take yo mind off that painnnn?’ and so then he breaks the guys finger!? That’s how I feel! It’s taking my mind off my side for a bit!” . . . Maybe you had to be there?

By this time it was almost 10 o’clock at night and we had no idea how the ultrasound looked or if I needed surgery. So I went to sleep and woke up to the doctor telling me we’d be doing surgery at 1 and the OB would be in soon. That’s when shit got real…

The OB doctor came in and basically they have to tell you all the risks with surgery + all the risks of surgery while pregnant. She wasn’t very comforting at first when I asked how big the risks were and if there was a percentage she could give me to help ease my mind. All she said was that she couldn’t give me a percentage and they don’t do surgery on a lot of pregnant women but it isn’t uncommon either. She went on to explain that since I was only 23 weeks and 1 day that ICU doesn’t get involved until 24 weeks if something happened during surgery I’d be basically be shit out of luck.

So at this point I’m crying so hard I can’t even talk and my mom takes over asking if there’s something I could do to not have surgery. There wasn’t and I could tell the doctor felt awful about scaring the shit out of me as she rubbed my leg saying she’s sure everything would be fine.

I cried most of the morning just because I am so attached to our little guy already and I was scared out of my snake skin boots. I said I would literally die if I woke up and his heart beat wasn’t there anymore. So many people prayed for us and I am so grateful! Everything turned out fine and I am just sore. My hemoglobin was still an 8.2 when I left so we have to recheck it on Wednesday to make sure it’s raised or else it’s blood transfusion time.

Matt trying to get my mind off of things…

How far along? 23 weeks and 3 days.

Total weight gain: I haven’t weighed myself but since I didn’t eat for almost 2 days and have been living on water and soup I’m sure it’s even less than -10.  

Maternity clothes? Grandma nightgowns for now…don’t judge me.

Stretch marks? Some more are starting to develop around my belly button.

Sleep: Not too good now that I can hardly move.

Best moment this week: Waking up to the baby’s heartbeat after surgery.

Miss Anything? Being independent..I like to be waited on but I do feel bad asking Matt and my Mom to bring me water, popsicles, Tylenol, turn on my movie, help me get comfortable, etc. I am pretty helpless normally but now it’s on a whole new level.

Movement: Baby never stops moving…and I’m not kidding.

Food cravings: I woke up from surgery craving everything in the entire world. I hadn’t ate or drank anything in over 35 hours. I hadn’t even had ice chips or a sip of water because they didn’t know when I’d be having surgery.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really! They are thinking maybe this is why I’ve been so sick and sensitive to foods. We’ll see.

Gender: BOY!!

Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: sore!

Belly Button in or out? INNY

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: feeling mostly blessed lately so I guess HAPPY. I never thought I’d be a good mom and I NEVER wanted kids but this is like the most amazing experience of my life. Like my mom has said having a child is like a whole new level of love. She’s right because my baby is going to be a mix of Matthew (whom I love more than anything) and me! I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL HE’S HERE!

 

Looking forward to: feeling better! 

Again, thank you to everyone who sent me texts, Facebook messages/posts, phone calls, came to visit, prayers! I love you all!

***Also, Happy Father’s day! I love both of the dads God blessed me with!

 & to Matthew: you are truly going to be the best father. You have always been a person who likes to take care of little animals and other helpless creatures (me..ha). You are truly wonderful and I wish there were words to describe how blessed I feel to have you in my life! Love ya!  

hehe!

Girl's Gone Child: 22 Weeks

Our little guys new bedding compliments of Bass Pro Shop.

The outfit I bought to bring baby lenzen home in! Custom made by Mary Ellen Watermelon on Etsy. This outfit literally makes me die everytime I see it. It's SO tiny in person. If you're looking for custom sewing work I highly suggest Mary Ellen! This outfit is completely perfect.  

 

How far along? 22 weeks (23 in 2 days)

Total weight gain: -10 lbs

Maternity clothes? No"maternity" clothes but definitely rocking the yoga pants and maxi dresses like a mother…ha, literally.
Stretch marks? Some more are starting to develop around my belly button. Shit. Oh and Matt told me it looks like my hips are getting wider. Thanks hunny! Just what I needed.

Sleep: I'm sleeping like a baby :)

Best moment this week: Registering for baby stuff. It was exhausting, overwhelming but awesome to soak in the reality that we are actually going to be parents. Did I mention I'm scared out of my snake skin boots to be a mother?? 
Miss Anything? Al-co-hol.

Movement: We felt our first movement from the OUTside tonight!! :) It kinda hurts though. haha.

Food cravings: Not really.. I get asked this question a lot but my stomach has hurt so badly I can't eat after 3pm or I get extremely sick. I stick to mostly breads like sandwiches and crackers.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: the smell of bird shit which is very prevalent at our house.

Gender: BOY!! 

Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: nauseous, tired, CRANKY, etc.
Belly Button in or out? INNY

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: MOODY! for sure!! I feel bad because Matt is so sweet and always likes to be next to me or holding hands and I just want to rip his (or anybody..) head off!! :) Gotta love hormones.

Looking forward to: meeting our lil man!! it's "a ways to go" as some would say but I'm over half done and the time has literally flown!!

in other randomness..

I am wondering if any of you have/have used this little mini-straightener by Conair. I found it at Target for $14 and was going to buy it but I'm trying to be as frugal as possible these days and ended up changing my mind. I thought it was so neat though! It's not longer my hand extended and has a 4 star review! I feel like it'd be the perfect thing to have in my purse for "emergencies."

Girl's Gone Child: 21 Weeks

IT'S A BOY :)

I had an unbelievable response to “Things I’m Afraid toTell You” – like, it was overwhelming amazing!! I received so many texts, emails, Facebook messages/posts, etc. I was so happy you didn’t think I was a FREAK and it was so sweet of you to share your secrets with me too! It was actually interesting and refreshing to see how the fears I had, you guys had. They truly were common fears! It just proves we’re all more alike than we sometimes think and that was just an awesome reminder.  

Anyways, I feel like SO much has gone on since the last time I posted! And I am SO sorry! I have been so busy with mandatory 2 hour overtime per day at work and going balls to the walls with my medical transcription school so I can *hopefully* work from home after maternity leave.  

Now for the week 21 baby questions! (Week 22 will be up soon since I am actually 22 weeks today! I’m a little behind okay) 

How far along? 21weeks! 

Total weight gain:-13 lbs

Maternity clothes? No"maternity" clothes but definitely rocking the yoga pants and maxi dresses like a mother…ha, literally.

Stretch marks? None that weren’t there before!

Sleep: Well, let’s see…The days I don’t work I go to bed at 9 or 10. I’ll wake up at around 9 and then nap from 1-5 or 6. REPEAT. I get so tired I can’t even keep my eyes open.

Best moment this week: Finding out he/she is a HE!!!!!!

Miss Anything? Rum + Coke.

Movement: The ultrasound tech. and the doctors say they haven’t seen a baby move like ‘this’ in a long time. I pray that doesn’t mean adhd or a baby who doesn’t like to cuddle.

Food cravings: I dreamt about crinkle cut fries on Sunday night and was jonesin’ for some. It was Memorial Day though and no place was open. And I would kill someone for an Arby’s roast beef sandwich right now.

Anything making you queasy or sick: cigarettes, burnt maple bacon (oops), Matt if he hasn’t showered, seeing bird shit everywhere. UGH.

Gender: BOY!! (I pray our next one is a girl and then we can be D-O-N-E!)

Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: Tired but other than that, I feel super good!

Belly Button in or out? INNY

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Depends on when/where you catch me ;) it could be a smile one minute and bite-your-bloody-head off the next.

Looking forward to: The baby shower!! Lumberjack themed (because themed parties are more fun) Sunday, July 29th…invites will be mailed soon! I hope to see your smiling mustaches there ;)

THINGS I'M AFRAID TO TELL YOU

I’ve decided tojoin on the blogger challenge bandwagon “things I’m afraid to tell you” made widely popular on the blogosphere by Creature Comforts (go read her post…it hits the nail on the head!)


Andddd for those of you too lazy to read all that (tisk! tisk!) she basically paints a beautiful picture about how we all [on social networking sites] seem to play up our life more beautiful than it really is. I agree with her about portraying a groomed portrayal of our lives. I mean, I never share the dirty or ordinary parts of my life. I look happy (&am for the most part) and hilarious (Just go with it…) plus scrubbing toilets over wedding deets isn’t as fun to blog about.

Here are some things I have been deathly afraid to tell you. And I will probably be pushing publish with my eyes closed and then will run outside and play for a couple hours because I’m afraid to see your comments and/or picture your silent judgements. 

.
.
.
.

You know only my closest friends really know this stuff….
.
.
.
.
Here goes nothing!
.
.
.
.

I compare myself to others way too much. I feel like I don’t bring anything positive to the table – in any aspect of my life. I feel as though everyone around me is prettier, smarter, cooler, funnier, richer, etc. etc. (except for some...some people are just plain dumb and ug) It’s exhausting and I often wonder why in the world Matt would want to spend the rest of his life with me or the fact he likes to see me naked…but that’s a whole other blog post.

Anyways, if I didn’t care what people thought so much, I would positively say I was perfectly happy living in my 100 year old house with the love of my life, driving a 2008 car, 1.4 miles from my Mama. So why do I give a flying rip if I’M happy? I feel like others are judging me because I stayed in my hometown. It reminds me of one of my favorite Miranda Lambert songs though….

If I ever left this town
I’d never settle down
I’d just be wandering around
If I ever left this town

If I wasn’t by your side
I’d never be satisfied
Nothin’ would feel just right
If I wasn’t by your side

I just wrote the most depressing paragraph you’ve probably ever read up there but these lyrics are so true. When I wasn’t dating Matt and I wasn’t living here where my roots are I felt completely lost. So I guess I should stop caring.
.
.
.
.
Not graduating college yet really wears on me. I mean really really wears on me. I lay awake at night beating myself up over it. I feel like I’ve let my parents down, not that they’ve ever implied that but I’m my own worst critic. I’m pretty sure I have officially decided to go back for Psychology though –VanWilder status here. (accounting is my current major = pound head on table multiple times)
.
.
.

One of my biggest regrets that I never and I mean never talk about dates back to February of 2011. A few of my classmates and I had planned a Deadwood trip and I decided to sell some concert tickets I had because I needed the extra $100 for Deadwood. So I skipped out on the Blake Shelton concert I had so eagerly bought tickets for. I have alot of regret when it comes to selling those concert tickets. It was planned that I was to meet Thomas there. The last time we spoke was a phone call from him asking if I was still coming down the following night for the concert. Not that I feel like I could have stopped fate but I often think about how I could have at least seen that smile one last time. I think I mentioned this to someone once and they said I couldn’t beat myself up over it and they are definitely right but I always wonder “what if I would have been there…” and “why didn’t God want me there…” & another thing I’m afraid to admit is the fact that I still cry about Thomas' passing. A lot. Oddly, mostly on the sunniest of days and the days I can feel Matt missing him like crazy.
.

As much as I can’t wait for little baby Lenzen to arrive I am scared out of my snakeskin boots to
1) go into labor {poop myself and to have my v rip to my b!!}
and
2) to be responsible for another human being!! I mean is that not crazy to anyone else?! I will be in charge of this little creature! I will have to raise “it” to be a functional member of society…I mean am I capable of that?! Hilter and Charles Manson had moms!! & what if they have adhd and are so extremely naughty I want to strangle their brains out? What about cleft palate? I mean…ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. I just pray they are healthy and will be happy + well behaved and possibly even cute too. I just get overwhelmed thinking about having to care for another living thing though.

&

Sometimes when I’m with my friends I feel like that will be the last time we’ll ever be able to hang at the lake, have a sleepover, etc. That’s a true depressing moment I don’t mention to my friends because after all, it is what it is and it’s not their problem!!! If you’re my friend and you’re reading this will you reassure me you’ll still be my friend even though I have a mini-me?
.

I don’t want to depend on my parents forever for my financial existence. They’ve helped me a lot over the years and have bailed me out of a lot of shiz. I want to be financially set on my own in the future. I don’t want to be banking on their hard earned bucks until I die – that’s their money, savings, etc to spend. They still pay my phone, insurance and car insurance cause they are awesome. Love you lads!
.
.
.
.
I obviously hate my body. That’s nothing new to you though. It was terrifying letting you guys know that I was self-conscience when I first published the first post about my weight. I can feel people from my past (who’ve known skinny-me) judge me.... but I can’t let that bother me. I honestly know in my heart that I will get back to my HS weight – because I want it that bad! I’m just on a minor bump in the road with this baby inside me though and can’t go ballz to the wallz with workouts or weight loss/gain per my doctor.
.

I want to use all babies breath for floral in our wedding. I can see the snarls now. Keep them to yourself please because something like this is pretty. {and cheap!}

That’s mostly everything I’ve been afraid to tell you. My life isn’t as cool as everyone thinks it is (if you do..) lol! I am just an ordinary person trying to make it in this world!

What are you afraid to tell me? I wanna know!! C’mon! I just shared a whole bunch with you. :)

Dry Skin Remedy for the Summer Heat

Most everyone in my family has extremely dry skin and Saturday my Grandma, who resides in Arizona for the winter, told us about what her and her gal pals use to keep their bodies moisturized in the AZ heat! Apparently, it works wonders and keeps them looking young. ;) She gave me the 3 ingredients that I mental noted and picked them up at Wal-Mart today to give it a whirl. I love love love it so far and it only took me 10 minutes to whip up!!

The ingredients consists of:

note to you: I used 2 vitamin E tubs because it came with 2 and didn't want it to be too greasy with the Vaseline.

Now that you have the ingredients...go home, put away groceries and add these into a mixing bowl!

A trick I learned working at JJ's was knifing the plastic bottle to get every ounce of shiz out of a plastic container.

&&&& this is what it looks like all together. yummy. (sorry for shizzy photos! damn iphone...)

Mix with hand mixer. Don't lick beaters with this project.

Wha-la!! Add to a plastic tub and call it a day.

***I would use a little less Vaseline next time so it's not so greasy because it takes a while to soak in I feel like (mostly on my hands..) but it has made my legs super duper soft! Now I just need to shave.....

Let me know if you make it and how you like it!

Girl's Gone Child: 19 weeks preggers

Is this okay anonymous? Not too in your face I hope.

 

How far along? 19 weeks! Close to half way and I cannot believe it!

Total weight gain: -10 lbs.
Maternity clothes? No "maternity" clothes but I bought some yogo capris on sale at none other than WallyWorld & of course my maxi dresses! Seriously, I will be LIVING in those this summer.
Stretch marks? None that weren’t there before!
Sleep: All. The. Time........I literally will lay down and be OUT!
Best moment this week: Feeling my hammy kick throughout the day, everyday! J
Miss Anything? BOOZE!
Movement: He/She won't stop moving!
Food cravings: none really in particular...still loving broasted chicken
Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm almost rid of my nausea!! Minus at night when I get heartburn and pukey all at once. I am starting to feel GREAT though!
Gender: (I think it's a boy...Matt thinks it's a girl...) Take our gender poll on the upper right to guess! J
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: Tired but other than that, I feel super good!
Belly Button in or out? INNY
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: I would say happy but that blasted turkey keeps attacking me.
Looking forward to: finding out the sex of the baby and buying a kiddie pool at Wal*Mart today. NOT for the baby but for me for hot summer days. hahaaaa. Matt won't put up the ginormous one this year because of all the chemicals and the fact we dump a gallon of bleach in a week...

If your preggers this summer or just like cute comfort head over to Wal*Mart and get some adorbs maxi dresses for $14.88. I have 5...the one missing is the one I'm wearing in the belly pic above :)

A Mother's Love: Warning! Ultrasound Pix

Yesterday, of course, was Mother’s day so Matt and I spent the day helping his mom do a couple things to help with planting flowers and then helped my mom do a couple things to help get ready for my brother’s graduation. We were helpers by day and shootin’ blackbirds by night. Matt and I were even on the amount we shot & I’m 99% sure we looked like total rednecks standing in our driveway, on top of an old wooden jungle gym, shooting birds. Oh well..

This is the gun Matt re-did for our friend, Thomas, who has passed. Matt is pretty proud of it considering it wasn’t working when he started it and it took a lot of time. I think it looks great and it shoots blackbirds wonderfully! *I know my hair looks ridiculous.

Anyways, some of you may not know that God has blessed me with two mothers in this lifetime. My parents were divorced when I was about 2 and both remarried when I was about 4. My step-parents have been around since I was like 3 and I can’t even remember my life before them. Hence, why I have 2 ladies I call mom and 2 gents I call dad. They are my family and I love them all.

Growing up with 2 moms (and 4 parents in general) meant quadruple the punishments, quadruple the advice, quadruple the laughter, quadruple the gifts and quadruple the love. I literally don’t know life any other way and even though my parents may not like each other (ha..) they have always been common in the one area: Me.

They all have different parenting skills but they always agreed in most things when it came to raising me. They are always trying to make sure that I live the best life and that I do what’s right. They all love me and all have different ways of showing it.

When it came to writing out Mother’s day cards yesterday I was speechless when it came to my mom’s. I mean, I didn’t know what to say!! Now that I’m going to become a mom I’m thinking about all the sacrifices they gave up when it came to me. All I could think of was “thank you…for everything in your whole life you’ve sacrificed and given up to give me a better life.” And with my step-mom’s it was, “I’m so blessed God has brought you into my life. I have such a close relationship with God because of you. Thank you & Love you!” I think Mom’s get taken for granted a bit, especially when it comes to a simple, “thank you.”

I mean, my mom carried me for 9 months and lost 50 pounds she was so sick. After that, she continued to give up sleep, fun, her youth and I’m sure, at times, her happiness to make sure I was well fed, happy, healthy, etc. for my whole life! Mom’s never quit being mom’s and they never stop loving or caring.

It is crazy to think I have more room for love when I already feel like my heart is going to burst from loving my family, friends, Matt and God so much but I love hammy so much already it’s un-freakin-believable. I cannot wait to be a mom and I never ever thought I would say that but babies (especially mine, duh) are a true blessing and I’ve already formed a bond with my child! I know I will be a great mother because I have the two best examples of love, fun and sacrifice.

These ultrasound pictures were taken over a month ago and at our next one we find out the gender -May 29th - take the gender poll!  

My child is a mermaid.

The Glamorous Life of a Bird Wife: HA!

The devil lives at my house. Although in biblical times he was disguised as a serpent, he has now changed identities and is portraying an “angelic” looking turkey aka HE’S ALL WHITE and I thought he would be nice but he is NOT!!!! I thought when Matt got this thing, it’d be KIND and GENTLE (are you picturing Belle describing the Beast to Gaston…in that voice? Okay, I’m the only freak then.) and wouldn’t like humans and would sympathetically leave me alone. HA!!

This thing has literally been giving me grief. He is like threatened by me, my car or something and is trying to show his dominance but you know what?! IT’S MY EFFING HOUSE and I’m going to show MY dominance! He runs after me when I go outside and so I have to sprint to my car. He runs after my car when I leave the driveway and towards my car when I pull in the driveway. And shocker, he waits for me to get out too and then continues to run after me.

Matt’s like, “Brandi, he’s not going to hurt you.”

……Okay, just because you’re a skilled bird rancher and I’m a measly civilian doesn’t mean he doesn’t have HUGE talons and a fugly beard. I don’t care if he’s just peckin’ at my toes or gawkin’ at my crotch. I’m SICK AND TIRED OF IT. I told him if he doesn’t pen that f***** up I will shoot him. (the bird)

“Don’t think I won’t!!” I said. “My pregnancy hormones are in full bore and I’m sick of that thing!!!!”

He told me to shoot it like I was being dramatic and wouldn’t do it.

I can’t be the only woman in the world who would feel this way. I doubt many would even let him have as many stupid pets as he does (pet rock gal here..) and I am not going to strategically carry in groceries or a NEWBORN baby. That means, if he doesn’t fix something up this weekend, I will have you all over for a turkey supper - Thanksgiving style. My treat!!
