Pregnancy Hormones and Mamma Tiger Complex

Okay so I told this story to my friend Kim and she said I have to blog about it because it is a super awesome story, and I completely agree!

Yesterday Steven and I took off of work half a day so we could go and close on our house, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Well obviously this irritated us both and our nerves were a little worn. At around 3:10 Steven tells me "I'm going to go and wait for Alexis at the bridge," and I said "oh wait and I'll go with you." Keep in mind I'm already irritated at this point in the afternoon.

We get to the bridge to wait for Alexis and we can already see some kids crossing the bridge. I noticed a group of girls at the end so I knew Alexis was with them. About that time Steven asked me if I could see Alexis and I said "No, but she's probably with the group of girls at the end," and I looked up to find them. At that exact moment we both saw these two boys go running by the group of girls and we both saw one of them trip a girl. As soon as the girl fell we both knew it was Alexis, and I became seriously enraged. Pregnancy hormones, mixed with stress, and the fact that I was already irritated about the closing did nothing to help those boys yesterday afternoon.

Before I could even think twice I jumped out of the car and ran to the end of the bridge to stop those two boys. They were running and assumed that I was just waiting for one of the other kids, but I jumped in front of them and blocked their path and immediately tore into them. I demanded to know which one of them had tripped Alexis and they both sat there and lied and said they didn't do anything, which only made me more angry. Do they think adults are stupid, or do they just think we don't watch? So I tore into them more about lying to me because I had watched them do it. Needless to say I was seeing RED!! They are lucky that I know not to put my hands on kids or else I would have throttled them both and then drug them back to their homes and laid into their parents too. However I didn't do any of that, I just yelled at them more about the fact that I watched one of them do it and not to lie to me and to keep their hands off my kids and to leave her alone, and to stay far away from her.

I finally let them go and went up to Alexis (who didn't even know I was there or what had just happened between me and those boys) and I wrapped my arms around her and walked her to the car. When we got in the car Steven asked me what I said to those boys because he could tell I was telling them off. I think it absolutely shocked Alexis that I would tear into anyone on her behalf because she was like "really, Mom you did that and you said that!" I felt like I was a mommy tiger and those boys had just tried to get my cub or something. Those boys are seriously lucky I didn't do more than yell at them. Steven and I both told Alexis that if they try to mess with her any more that she has our permission to fight back. That may not have been the best piece of advice but we don't want her to let people walk all over her either.

Another reason these boys bothered me so much was because last week another Mother waited on the bridge to talk to them about tripping the girls and messing with them. Seriously what is it going to take to get them to be respectful and to leave other kids alone? Maybe some jail time?

So for future reference don't mess with a pregnant womans kids! (Or any womans kids)

Home

Breathe.....breathe.....it's just a 30 year commitment.....

I can't wait for lunch time! We are leaving work at lunch to go and close on our house! And tonight we are going to start moving things over to the new place and begin painting.

Alexis and Steven already have plans to eat at a place in The Colony called "The Cereal Bar" on Saturday morning. I'm not sure if that means we are moving our beds Friday night, or if they are going to be at the new place sleeping on air mattresses. I'm not sleeping on an air mattress being this far along in the pregnancy, I would never be able to get up. (I'm like a beached whale sometimes! lol)

House Hunt Part 4

Okay, okay I know that I haven't updated about the house hunt in a while, but we have had a lot going on recently.

We are way beyond the house hunting part of this process. We actually found a house back in September that is exactly the same floor plan as the second house we put a bid on. Naturally we put a bid on this house and we are now in the final stages of buying this house. When I say final I mean final like we are closing tomorrow as far as I know.

How crazy is that???? I'm going to own a house as of tomorrow!!!!! I'm not old enough or mature enough to own a house. Plus I don't know the first thing about taking care of a house. This is the scariest most exciting thing I've done in a while (other than get married and pregnant in the same year).

If everything works out as planned we are going to close tomorrow and begin moving things to the house immediately. We've kind of decided on what color paint we are going to put in Emmett's room and possibly the living room, so we'll get the paint tomorrow. If we have the paint and everything then maybe Steven's Dad can go and get some things started if he gets off work early an this week. I love Steven's parents! They do so much for us. Steven's plan is to paint Emmett's room while Steven's Dad works on the wall in Lexie's room. There is one wall that is covered in paneling that we are going to tear out and redo. We may have to put in some sheet rock and then re-texture the wall before we can paint her room. Luckily Steven's Dad has the tools needed to do all of that. Those are the two rooms we are going to start with. After that we'll be painting our room and the two living areas.

I did see at Garden Ridge this weekend some art work that would be sooo cute in the kitchen. Right now we just need to get the bedrooms taken care of so the kids will have a place to sleep. We can work on the rest of the house as we go.

I'll update again soon (maybe). ;)

Week 36 of Pregnancy

http://www.americanpregnancy.org/weekbyweek/week36.htm

Okay so here we are current. Again I have to put in a link to the actually website instead of being able to just copy the info.

Things are moving at a fast pace now. Technically speaking I could have Emmett at any point now and he would most likely be perfectly okay. I kind of want him to wait just a little bit longer so we at least have the house and his room set up. I'm about the size of whale (or at least I think so) and getting up and down and rolling over are near impossible. I've also been experiencing this weird thing where my hands swell and they get really hot and then my joints start hurting. I mean they hurt so bad that it wakes me up in the middle of the night. Definitely going to ask my doctor about that on Thursday when I see her.

Speaking of my doctor that brings me to the next thing which is that I am officially in countdown mode. This week I start my weekly appointments which will continue until little Emmett makes his appearance.
