stop with the looks.

things have been busy! as of monday there will be a 5 yr old running around the house & an eight month old cooking in the belly. aidan is very excited that his baby sister, olivia rose* has been decided as her name, will have the same "birthday" as him. so with the move, getting bigger & getting tired easier, having aidan's energy growing, a man to love & spend time with, plus family friends & work it's been busy!

the move went swimmingly. i couldn't have asked for things to go much quicker or easier for us. seeing as how we didn't pack until the morning of, minus four boxes of dvd's we had to start from scratch the morning of after which being at a concert in the rain the night before & my cold being at it's worst! ha. but things went amazingly. my lil brother & his two friends were great help! brought up my dad's big work truck & with the three of them, my beloved* & uncle gee things got done fast! plus my mom & i made sure boxes were semi organized so the guys just left them in a room & we unloaded. and a week later it's a new big fantastic apartment. of course there are a few boxes in the living room & some small stuff still at the old place but for a pregnant lady & a pair of overnight fellas i think things went as perfect as possible! yay.

this past week has been rough. two huge blows of bad news, training & stress at work, a newbie quitting on us at pretty much last minute & screwing over two of my favorites at work rough isn't an accurate word choice for it but that's what we will go with. so we focus on the good per my mother. our shower for olivia rose* or as aidan wants to call her, his olivia biscuits* in a week, aidan's turning 5 monday morning & we have his big spooky halloween costume beeday party to prepare for on sunday. so we are keeping my busy, but as my beloved* says not too busy i'll take breaks to keep my mind busy. and my mom keeps on sending tidbits of funny little glimpses of info from our shower, it's a surprise so we know nothing!

but my question for this blog is . .why do people feel the need to stare at pregnant woman? i understand some stare or as the woman from chili's today shouts out 'you have the cutest pregnant belly, i just had to tell you i'm so sorry but you look absolutely adorable' but some people stare! that stare of 'oh my gosh (cause they don't use the lords name in vain) this little single girl is pregnant that is just gasp!' first of all. i'm "technically" single yes but i have the most amazing man & 5 yr old here with me to help raise her, my fabulous family/friends & my beloveds* family is always a text/call away for me but no i am not married so what. i am tired of hearing people say 'so you're gonna get married now right' why? the statistics of marriage are so low, not knocking it at all, but it's a fact people do it just to either to do it or do it too fast but feel it really is meant to be. i don't want the big d on my record personally. i feel that if i want to marry someone i don't need to rush, if he's in it for the long haul & we both want the marriage thing then why do we need to run down the alter now we'll still be there in 5 yrs or whatever, am i right? i think so. and i may look young but i am 24 yrs old, yes i am still a baby in certain people's eyes but i have also gone to college, graduated, worked a number of jobs & figured out where i like to work, and have done the out all night/every night thing & i am at a place in my life where i feel i am as ready as i'll ever be to do this. it happened, unplanned but it did & we are ready as a team to do this. so please. stop making those faces of judgement towards pregnant women even if i was a 16 yr old single lady who wasn't ready & completely unsure of the pregnancy you think those looks are going to help any? that 16 yr old could do just as good of a job as anyone else given the right mind set & those looks won't help any.
i guess that is all for the night. aidan will be up at a normal hour & he's gotta get ready for his first big 5th beeday bash he has with his mom this weekend. good night bloggers*

busy bee

okay! so i am not sure why but i have been seriously slacking on my blog lately & it seems a lot of others have too, boo! but i am here today to do an update of what is going on & then i will be probably be gone until next week. we have a busy! week ahead of us. i have to co-facilitate training classes at work, also work!, set up cable at the new place, pack/organize/clean, move & my beloved* & i are going to see kings of leon!! which i am so stoked about.
but! the last week or so we have had my mom's beeday which rocked, my parents love aidan! aidan loves my family things just clicked when i walked into this lil man's life, the worries of "will this lil man welcome me & my family", "will things be weird as to will he be confused as to who's who & will we fit into each other's personalities" but everything just clicked into place. rockin! so yesterday we went to my parents; my aunt/her husband were there, my dear friend val/her husband, my brother, dad, brother's friends who are like step-children, shannon/lil miss rileigh marie* it was a grand old time. there also was a lot of stuff there for peanut! my parents' friends have been giving us hand-me-downs which seem to be brand new! for us. we got wicked cute clothes, snowsuits, a swing, bassinet, chair & my parents got us our carriage! things are getting wicked exciting! so aidan had a blast as well; he loves hanging with rii* i am not sure if it;s the being older, smarter, wiser thing but he holds her hand & guides her from the house to the park, shows her how to do stuff but they love hanging out with each other. and my brother/father are big goofs with aidan; wrestling, running around & my brothers' friends being there made it that much more fun for him cause they were just as crazii. so yesterday rocked!
moving further back into last week, we had a checkup & blood-test with the doctor for peanut. the blood-work was for the sugar test to make sure my sugar levels are right where they should be, a little nervous but not really been feeling fine things have been right on track & i don't eat crazii amounts of sugar or items with lots of sugar so i think we're good. i am right on track with my weight gain, blood pressure & cervix/uterus sizing. altho my back/feet discomfort are starting to get to me everything else is just superb!
now! this week is looking just as nutty. we are moving! yay. bigger, nicer, more fabulous place next weekend & we have yet to begin to pack, organize or clean! haha. it's been a busy time for us. we did tho purchase a few new things we needed; dvd case, trash can, strainer, shower curtain, cleaning products nothing huge but lil things we need. so we have a lot to do! yet at the same time my beloved* tells me 'don't worry babe i have moved so many times i'm a pro we'll have it done in no time' okay! babe whatever you say. saturday we will be doing cleaning & packing; aidan will be doing his room. we didn't see it fit to just move his stuff & have this huge change without him knowing or being involved. so last night we brought him there to see it along with my parents & it has been aidan approved! he loved it, he kept asking my parents 'come on let me show you around' LoL kid is too cute. he is going to set up his room; we plan on doing his room super heros; star wars, transformers, gi joe, & of course spongebob! and his sisters' room will be "angelica" a theme we got from babiesrus so he is wicked excited to help set up her room too. he said 'we need to make sure that things are safe for her' i love how he's so protective before she's even here. then sunday! is the big move; all of the furniture, boxes for us & the living room/kitchen, washing machine & dryer & getting everything in it's place. i have a feeling it won't be as bad as i'm anticipating it to be but i always see the worst. LoL
but! friday night before all of this takes place my beloved* & i are giving ourselves a night for us. this saturday was the first saturday we didn't have lil snugglebutt in a long time & instead of doing date night (which we haven't seen in a while either) we got things ready for the new place LoL so friday night we are going down to mansfield to see kings of leon!! woohoo. i am so excited. my beloved* has seen them before but didn't realize who they were at the time so we are both wicked excited for this. we are also spending the night at a hotel & just relaxing before things begin. because this weekend sets off the rest of the month. the weekend after this one we have aidan's 5th beeday party, the weekend after that is peanuts shower (but ssh! it's a surprise) LoL & then october begins. so aidan's mom has a lot (i'm assuming) last minute details to her wedding!! so we may have snugglebutt a lot, which is cool cause he can help with the last minute stuff for peanut's arrival. we also have snugglebutt for halloween this year which i am really excited about! i love trick or treating! then november hits & peanuts' arrival will come at any time. woah. this has been one busy year & it's def going to end on that same note.

but there is my update a lot going on everywhere; work, home, play, just insanity! happy monday & happy september.
