Does anyone say that anymore? Or am I just a couple of years behind on the lingo thing.
Yesterday I had another prenatal check up. I hate the waiting in the room part. Just because when I get there, I'm already pressed for time and it's a ways from where we live. Oh well.
The doc did get on my case for not having taken my Glucose test yet. I just haven't had time to do it unfortunately. I know I have to for good reasons so I will do it this weekend fo' sho'! I have to take another blood test for Anemia. Guess I should have been taking those monster vitamins.
He also said that I'm gaining too much weight too fast. The Glucose test will show whether or not I have Gestational Diabetes and if the baby will be a pork chop when she comes out.
Some nicknames we have for Bailey already - Bailey-Bean, Booba-girl, Beanster, Bailey-lalley, Pork-chop. Reese calls her Belly, Sissy, Baby girl. She's not going to know her name until she's like 7 years old. lol.

30 Weeks
Jesus holy mother of god...... I'm 10 weeks from my due date????
No babies I know have been born on their due date unless you were induced or scheduled a c-section. So Bailey will probably want to come out sooner like her brother did.
Chris and I are getting more and more excited as I get bigger and bigger by the day. Speaking of which, I have to take a picture of my belly here soon. It's been a few weeks since we last posted a picture.
I'm having issues walking up and down stairs. Out of breath all the damn time. I can't put on my socks and shoes as easily anymore. Although I can still see my feet. Thank god. My fingers and toes are a little swollen, you can't tell just looking at me, but I can feel my rings are getting tighter and my toes tingle a little at the end of the day.
This weekend is yet another crazy weekend because guess what??? We're moving!! April 1st we move into a 3 bedroom apt next door to where we live now. The landlord loved us from the moment we met. AAAAAAAAND he's letting me paint Bailey's room. yey!! I'm going to stamp the walls with flowers and butterflies. Maybe I will paint a mural.... oh so many options!!
Katie's shower is tomorrow. I think we're ready to go with that. All we have to do is cook up some stuff tonight and buy some flowers tomorrow before we get there.
There's also an 8am soccer game. I think that's just punishment for the parents! Christ! I don't want to be up at 6:30am if I don't have to be!!

Busy Weekend
I need a vacation from this past weekend.... geez!!
It all started Friday after work with Reese's soccer practice. We didn't expect there would be practice since it was supposed to rain Friday. So after work I rushed to go get him and then rushed home to change him into soccer gear then rushed to practice.
We get there and it's freezing and only half the team was there. grrrr.... The coach let the kids go early since it was St. Patty's day and he had no help coaching. The field was quite muddy so we all ended up going home with muddy kids. I changed Reese right there on the sideline since I didn't want muddy shoes in my car. lol.
Chris's car is in the shop so after soccer we went to his work to pick him up. Then we finally get to go home.
Saturday morning Reese had a soccer game. 11am game that he didn't get to play in because he didn't have the team shorts on. The league owner came by and saw that 3 of our kids weren't wearing the right shorts. They gave us size medium short, which would have fallen right off of Reese. So us parents with smaller kids went and bought black shorts for them to wear. NOPE can't play.... That's really ok with Reese since he was really intimidated by everything that was happening that day.
Then I had a hundred errands to run....
Then we took Reese up to my mom's in Hayward for the night so we can go out and have dinner with Kelly for her birthday. Haven't had Spaghetti Factory in a long time. It was really yummy. Of course I had a mud pie for dessert.... mostly on my own. Chris had to roll me out of the restaurant afterwards. lol.
Sunday we had a Childbirth Preparation class at Kaiser. The new Kaiser facility. It was enlightening to say the least. I learned a lot of new things that I didn't experience before or seen on TV. I was the only one in the room who's ever gone through a childbirth previously. Chris learned a lot too. He now knows what to expect when we go into labor. I'm hoping I have the same labor that I had with Reese. Which was hardly any! My water broke (leaked) I went into the hospital and we waited for the contractions to come and it never did. They gave me Petocin and then drugs. A few hours later Reese came out.
That was almost 6 years ago....
I can't believe that I'm going to go through the diaper years again!!
It's ok... because we're finally going to have our girl!

28 Weeks
We are at about 6 months pregnant so far.
I've gained 22lbs. as of today.
I gained a total of 21lbs at 40 weeks with Reese.
Not that I'm complaining. I actually feel a lot more healthy this time around than last. Reese is a healthy and happy kid so I'm not worried. We heard Bailey's heart beating today also. My next thing is I have to take the glucose test for diabetes. NOT looking forward to that at all.
When the weather gets better I really have to go for walks.
Or something. lol

Call off the dogs
I found my camera!!
It was in my scrapbooking bag. In the folds where I would never put it. It must have fallen in there when I tried to throw it back in my purse on Saturday.
Whew!!!

Monday still sucks
Today as I get out of my car this morning I discovered that my camera wasn't in my purse. wtf? I know I had it Saturday because I was showing Robyn and Kelly pictures that were in the camera. Last night I was at the SCV Spaghetti dinner, left my purse in another room in the busy bingo hall.... 4 hours later when it was all over I went back into the room to retreive everything... never bothered to look. I knew that my keys and my wallet were in my purse.
grrrrr....
I called Jeff to see if he can locate it. I thought maybe it fell out. No such luck. Dammit. There were 175 pictures on that stick. I haven't even had that camera that long.
I still have to check the apartment and the car. Maybe, hopefully, it's in there.
It would really suck it someone took it.

25 Weeks
Ok, it's been crazy busy here at work. Which is fine, makes my days go by much faster. Although I do have to say... what the heck was I doing before that kept me busy? lol.
Baby is doing good. She's very active, especially when I'm trying to relax. Chris talks to her as often as he can. He talks to my belly and she moves around in there when she hears him. I think it's adorable.
Last weekend I went and visited an old friend who moved to Woodland, CA. It's way out there on the way to Redding. Not too bad of a drive except that I should have known to take a different route home. Oh well, I'm here now. Anywho, my friend has 2 daughters and a son. Plus with Reese, that's 4 kids. We took them to the local hang out .... McDonald's! They have a huge playland that the kids can just run amok.
The little one, Morgan, is ADORABLE. I wanted to snatch her up and take her home. Reese liked her too (only because she had toys that he's never seen. She's got a whole Pottery Barn kids thing going on in there.
In other news...
Chris and I did our taxes last week. We e-filed it so our $$$$ should hit the bank within the next few days or so. Woo hoO!! Baby furniture store here we come!!

22 Weeks
It's been a while since I wrote something in here.
Work has been crazy since Suzanne has been gone so I haven't really had the time to look around on the internet much. Which is a good thing since my day goes by so much faster like that.
Work has been crazy since Suzanne has been gone so I haven't really had the time to look around on the internet much. Which is a good thing since my day goes by so much faster like that.
So.....
Last week I felt like I was crippled by back pain. I've had the same pain for a year and it's only gotten worse. I think being pregnant and putting on weight probably isn't helping. My company's insurance does not cover chiropractic care. That and I have never been a believer in going to get 'adjusted' and suddenly feel better. Anyone can adjust you. My kid can walk on my back a few laps and my back will crack eventually.
I've been complaining of the same back pain to people off and on lately because I'm not walking normal and I sound like I'm 80 when I get up off my chair or sit back down. Pete (the owner of my company) came in and told me to go ahead and schedule an appointment at his chiropractor's office. (He pays for everyone's visits when they go) I'm in too much pain constantly to refuse that. I had an appointment the next day. I think I was just afraid that they would have to take an x-ray and that's not good for baby.
Doctor Hoffman turns out to be a chiropractor specializing in pediatrics and prenatal care. woo hoo for me! She took measurements of my legs since my pain was more concentrated on the lower lombar region in the left hip area. The first discover is that my left hip sits higher than my right by a little less than one inch. That resulted in my bottom 2 vertibre tilting to the left to make up for the height when I am standing or walking. Everytime I am standing or walking or putting weight on my left leg, the 2 vertibre pinches the main nerve line that runs down my left leg.
THAT explains everything.
She pushes and shoves and did an ultrasound therapy and rubbed my butt. Not the good relaxing kind of rubbing either. Then she turned on the table and it stretched out my legs. Slowly the pain begins to go away. The last thing she did was she laid me on my right side. Worked out the knot that's been there for months. She then took my left knee under her right arm, pushed my left hip out with her left hand and separated my back from my leg by a huge CRACK!
It was instant relief. If I can do that myself or have Chris do it for me. I'd be in heaven everyday.
I walked out of her office with no pain. A little numb in the area from all the rubbing and heat therapy. But no more pain. It was like a miracle. I walked in there crooked to one side and then walked out straightened and pain-free. Unfortunately I do have to keep going back to her because my hip will fall back to that position if I don't keep getting adjusted. I guess that's just how they make their money. I really don't want to say that I need a chiropractor, but hopefully it wil eventually be worked out and gone forever. Or so she says anyway. She also said that being pregnant and putting the alignment out of whack also has something to do with it. So maybe when Bailey's born, I'll be able to walk normal and keep it normal.
In other news.....
Reese has been signed up for spring soccer in Campbell. Games begin March 11 through June 11. He's going to practice twice a week after school. Chris and I are going to do our best getting him into it and hopefully keep him interested. I think at this point he's thinking that it's running around kicking a ball with some friends. Maybe it is at his age. I don't know what to expect yet. The guy registering him in said that they have really good, dedicated coaches and team parents that they won't let things get out of hand since Reese is being put into the bigger age-group due to his birthday landing on the cut-off date. It sucks because he will literally be the youngest one in the team, no matter which team. He can't play in the under 6 group, he will have to play in the under 8 group. We'll find out if he will be able to stick with it. I just know that he will get at little beat up by the older kids. But I'm being a mom.... and I don't want him to get beat up like that. I'll take those kids down myself!
Well I can't think of anything else to write right now...except the fact that I'm getting really big. It's ok. My husband loves me and both boys are already CRAZY about this baby.

Happy Birthday Bailey
So Friday night I had dinner with some girlfriends at a trendy restaurant in Santana Row. Katie, Karen and Aparjot. We're planning for Katie's bridal shower coming up in March and just wanted to get together for dinner, just the girls.
I don't know the other two girls but I know Katie pretty well. We talked about random stuff at dinner as if we all have known each other for years. Gotta love that about girls.
Katie brought up the fact that things that have happened with me so far has been exactly as planned and that just DOESN'T happen with anyone else. It reminded me of how lucky we have been so far. Hopefully, keeping fingers crossed, everything will go as planned in the future as well. First we planned to be married in October... we were. We planned to be pregna
nt by November.... we were. We hope and pray that this baby is a girl... it is. Now we just hope and pray some more that she is a healthy happy girl!
Speaking of Bailey....
Chris and I realized that her birthday according to the doctor is June 16, 2006. That would make it 6/16/06.... and if she's born 10 days early like her brother did... the date would be
6/6/06
ARGGHHH! Devil Child!!

20 Weeks
Today we had our 20 week ultrasound done.
It's the half way point of our pregnancy.
I'm getting bigger every day. This baby is very active!!
On the ultrasound screen there was no doubt that this baby is a girl. Chris saw everything while the ultrasound technician was taking measurements and checking all my insides. The screen was turned away from me while she was wanding my belly. I wish I had seen everything she and Chris were seeing. That's ok. Chris made tons of faces at me and he had an ear to ear smile the whole time.
IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!
Pink clothes, pink bedding, pink carseat, pink mommy!!
Reese is probably very happy this baby is a girl. He's now escape my wrath of dressing him in pink!!
Head over Feet
This song by Alanis Morrisette has been on the radio forever. I never thought anything of it until fate brought me to Chris. This song represents everything I feel for him. He is an amazing man and soon he will have the ultimate gift... a daughter.
Head over feet lyrics:
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help itIt's all your faults
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now, I am aware now
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help itIt's all your faults

Monday sucks
Today isn't so bad actually. Could have used a little more sleep, but that's ok. Chris always begs me to go to bed earlier and I just can't for some reason. I would like to, but I'm just not tired before 10pm. I'm sure this baby will kick my ass soon though. I'll be whining for some sleep before I know it.
Today I'm here at work by myself pretty much. Princess in the other room doesn't count. The boss just stepped out to grab lunch, who knows when he'll be back. Big B left because she's sick. Thank god, I don't want to catch anything she's got right now. Reese doesn't have school today, so he's at the babysitter all day. I brought my lunch, so it looks like I'm buried in bullshit here all day in peace. Wish I can have more days like this.
Princess = Girl who doesn't think before she speaks. She sits in the other room pretending like she knows everything and isn't afraid to tell you she knows everything. Grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and HAS to have new things at all times. She tries really hard to fit in, but just doesn't. Everyone knows someone like her.
The other day, she offered John (guy helping me answer the phones) if he wanted something from Starbucks. She was making a run over there. I hadn't had my coffee yet (I drink decaf people, calm down) so I poked my head out and stopped her at the door. "Hey can you get me something?" She goes "Oh my car only has 2 cup holders and Chuck already put in an order". What the fuck? I just heard you offer to pick something up for John, and now you can't pick something up for me? She goes "Oh well I guess if you order a small one I can carry it"
Ok.. you know what... forget it.... it's ok. It's obviously too much trouble for you.
What the heck is that?? She does this shit all the time. It's not like I work with 400 others in here where I can just pick and choose who I want to talk to from day to day. No!! I'm stuck with this. ugh.
Big B = She's the older lady I work with here. Suz and I came up with that name for her. It was 'Crazy Bitch', but we were afraid she would catch on. lol. God we're evil!
Anywho.... I better get back to work. People want their 1099's I suppose.

Oh I miss marching....
This weekend is the Renegades camp. Chris is there... I knew I'd miss him as soon as he walked out the door. But for some reason I feel like I've been abendoned somewhat. Not to make it sound aweful...but if I could march, I would. Life in the Renegades move on with or without me. The Renegades has been a part of me since 2003... and now at its peak, I'm not a part of it anymore.
For a lot of reasons I know I will never have any regrets of being there. I made many friends and some are life time friends. Every person in the corps has something special that makes it them. Everyone has their own place that touched my life in some way along the 3 years. I appreciate every minute of my Renegades time.
Let's recap...
My first year, 2003.... I was asked by good friend and mentor Kathy P to join. In June at PP. I thought about it for about a month. We tried working out the babysitting schedule with both our boys. The main reason I didn't want to march was because I was a single mom. It wasn't fair for either Reese or myself to be gone so much when he depends on me and only me. My mom was very kind and she helped with Reese when I decided to take on drum corps again. But at the same time, it was only end of July through the first week of September.... it couldn't be that bad. Kathy and I ...and Ron and I spent much time in their backyards teaching me the work to the entire production. Then the day of the Sunnyvale show, I learned some of the drill and plugged in some work. That night I performed the first 2 statements of the show and sat out the rest.
Just when I thought this is it for me. I stood on the field at retreat thinking about how great of feeling it was to just be there, competing once again. I couldn't wait until the 2004 open house. What's happening with me. These people welcomed me with open arms and I fit in beautifully. Why ruin a good thing.
I weighed the pros and cons of marching another year. The pros sure outweighed the cons here. There is some sort of a cult-ish feeling within the drum corps community. We are one of a kind.
2004 was a fun year. In the beginning there were so many people looking to fill only a few open spots. I wasn't worried that I wouldn't get a spot to march. Not trying to be egotistical or anything. I just figured that people will weed themselves out as they see things here aren't as easy as they might have thought.
The year flew by..... Somewhere in the months of May through July 04, Chris and I got reacquainted.... slowly, but I wouldn't have it any other way. We worked out and got ourselves free from unhappiness at our then-home and made a new home for us. It helps that he is excellent with Reese. They are quite the same boys actually.
At DCA 2004 I was still contemplating whether or not I was going to return in 2005. Only because I felt that Reese needed me more now than ever.
Chris needed me on the field with him and Reese has many loving family members that are more than willing to take care of him when we're at rehearsals.
Christmas time 2004 Chris asked me to marry him when just about a month prior at our private Thanksgiving dinner at home, we discussed the possibilities of another child. We marched 2005 together while a wedding is being planned and Reese getting ready to begin his first year of public school. I'm not really sure how we pulled it off, but we got hitched and pregnant at the same time!!
Now that the Renegades have begun their 2006 season, and I'm not a part of it.... I am feeling a little abandoned.
Chris and I have begun the new chapter as husband and wife. That is one reason I will look back at only the things that made me happy. Being on the field and hearing "From San Francisco....THE RENEGADES!!"

Brain to mouth complex.....
Ok... or lack there of...
Here's one of my biggest pet peeves ever....
When I'm eating something, don't make a comment about it. I am eating it because I like it. There's someone (who shall remain nameless) who I spend about 8 hours a day with in this office who constantly have to make comments about everything. If there's a day I can work with this person without hearing her complain, I'd be a much happier person. Seriously.
So I sit here eating my lunch.....I hear this...
"Ew what is that smell?"
It's my food you fucking inconsiderate bitch.
What are you eating? she asks me. I'm eating Thai food. You didn't have to come in here and smell it. If you stayed in your hole back there, you wouldn't smell it and I wouldn't have to hear your comment. It's not like I'm eating something completely disgusting, like fried fish or something. In fact, I think Thai cuisine smells pretty good.
I think I'm just annoyed by her in general.
If you don't have something nice to say at least once or twice a day, don't say anything. I don't want to hear it. If you're going to complain about something every day.... go see a therapist. You're so fucking unhappy about life, don't take it out here. no one wants to hear you!

Walking around in dreamland
For those of us who have kids...
Isn't it scary to see your kids sleep walk? Or sleep with their eyes open?
It's creepy...

17 weeks
Well I'm starting to feel the baby move around in there. Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. This same thing happened with Reese too. It's fun regardless of how uncomfortable it will be in just a few months. :-)
Today I went to a very special tea party for Suzanne. It's also her baby shower. Baby Gianna got so many cool things from her aunts and grandmas. Her friends did such a great job putting it together. Little shaped tea sandwiches, delicious herb teas, fun favors and games. We even decorated the onesies. We had a great time! I got to hold Liliana, Debra's 3 month old daughter for about an hour while she peacefully slept in my arms....
Going back in time a couple of weeks....
For Christmas Reese got so many new toys we're having to put a lot of things in the circular file. You know..... some stuff he doesn't even look at anymore.
I got some really cool gifts this year too...
A generous check to both Chris and I from his mom
Another generous check to both of us from my mom
Chris got me the latest version of digital photo printer
Lots of scrapbooking supplies
Maternity clothes!
Lots of cool stuff in my stocking
Chris had the best Christmas so far...
His baby on the way tops the list
A 6" chef's knife
New pots and pans (well those are more for us :-))
iPod shuffle
XM Satellite Radio
A chocolate fondue fountain!! Hello!!!
and a ton of clothes
We made out this year. Next year... the baby will get everything he/she never knew he/she wanted ... and a few more things. lol.

16 Weeks
Today is a holiday for most people. But Chris went in to work for a couple of hours anyway. What a dedicated guy he is. I love him to death. :-)
This week we're about 16 weeks pregnant. I'm not quite that big yet but I can see that I'm slightly bigger in the belly. I can't suck in my stomach anymore. lol. At times I can feel the baby move. Like when I sit up and lean forward for a long period of time. The baby moves around like as if it doesn't like me sitting like that. Pretty soon I will feel 'butterflies' once the baby gets a little bigger and more mobile.
In a couple of weeks we go back to the doctor's for the triple screen test. It's a blood test that reveals whether or not your baby has genetic diceases and/or downs syndrome. If the test comes out positive for any of the above, then we go back to do an Amniosyntesis. (I have no idea if I spelled that right or not) That's when the poke a big needle in my belly to take amniotic fluid for further testing and start treatment. Of course, we hope and pray that there's nothing wrong with the baby.
In other news....
It's been raining like crazy!! Ugh. And I've been sick with a head cold. No aches and pains or anything. Just sinus issues. some of it I think is from the fact that when you're pregnant, you get more congested.
Well happy 2006!!
6 months 2 weeks until our little one joins us! Reese has been really excited. He kisses my belly... 'the baby' every day. One time he whispered "Come out!" I want Chris and Reese to talk to the babyas often as they can while I'm pregnant. That way the baby will recognize their voices when it's born.

Shopping madness
is coming to an end finally.
Today I go shopping for the last time this Christmas season. I'm only stopping at Toys r Us and Valley Fair. While I'm there, I will get all my stuff wrapped at the SCV Winterguard wrapping booth so that when I get home, no one will know what I got!
HA HA HA I'm a genius.

Today at Subway
I learned today at Subway that the people making the sandwiches are not all the bright. Sorry those of you reading this that are currently employed at Subway. I'm just talking about the one here by my work. It just openned like last month, so I'm pretty sure that the workers are new and still getting used to the menu, etc.
The are quick, to give them some credit.
Today I can't have an extended lunch due to lack of staff at the office. Which is good in a way, it's really quiet in here for me.
Anywho....
I walked into Subway... don't really know what I want just yet. Haven't been there in forever. Finally I decided that the Chicken Parmasan looks good. It's hot, it's chicken, that should be safe.
The girl is already irritated at me because I didn't have my order ready when I walked in. I looked behind me, there's no one else in line, I'm not holding anyone up chick, Chill out.
I tell her what I want. A 6 inch chicken parmasan on wheat. She pulls out the bread and cuts it in half then looks at me and said "Do you want cheese?". Uh... doesn't the chicken parmasan COME WITH CHEESE? She said 'oh yeah'. She slaps the sauce on the bread totally messy.... ok I'll need quite a few napkins for this.
"Do you want Mayo and Mustard?"
WHAT????
Look at the picture! Do you not know what the chicken parmasan sandwich is??
I tell her that it comes with chicken, sauce, cheese, and a little grated parmasan on top.
"Do you want veggies with it?"
No, it's ok.
At this point I give up. Why do they offer certain kinds of sandwiches if they are going to ask if you want all the extra stuff? They should just offer veriety of meats, cheeses, and breads. Then you can have them slap it together and make your own sandwiches. That's essentially what you're doing there anyway. Starbucks has turned into that now. They give you the basic formula of coffees, mocha, latte, etc. Then you add and/or subtract what you want in your drink. Add shot, half caff, add syrup, no whip, etc. Makes it so much easier for everyone!
Ok, I ate my sandwich and it wasn't even that good. I just had to eat something or this baby will not be happy.
