Tater Tots & the Blue Pillow

This entry is at request of the hubby... he says it's not fair that I haven't posted the crazy incidents from the past few days up and he feels they should be shared.

We'll start with the 'blue pillow' incident from the other day just to slowly lead up to the craziness that was yesterday's incident. You see.. I have a 'thing' that when I sleep I have to have the flattest pillow ever, ya know the one that has been beaten up and squashed flat a thousand times over just to get it to my comfort level. Earlier that day I had decided it was time to wash the sheets on the bed since they hadn't been washed since we left to go home for the wedding and I replaced them with the spare sheets we have in the linen closet that don't match whatsoever. I 'marked' my flat pillow with the random baby blue pillow case so I would be able to distinguish it from the rest of the pillows when we went to go to bed. However, when we started off to bed that night SOMEONE, aka my sneaky husband, had maliciously taken my 'blue' pillow and curled up in the bed with it. When I proceeded to let him know that it was my pillow he was so comfortably curled up with, he just laughed at me and wouldn't give it back. This triggered my preggo hormones into bitch mode, so I proceeded to pitch a fit by ranting "give me my blue pillow"! Which just apparently turns on my husband's devilish switch because he just laughed hysterically and would not give back my pillow. In the end, I got my 'blue' pillow back by all means necessary...use your imagination!

This leads me to the Tater Tot incident of yesterday. We were out and about yesterday evening going to get DVDs, when we happened to pass a Sonic on the way home. Now throughout this pregnancy, Cassie hasn't requested any weird cravings of any sort, but from time to time she does request a random item of food. Last night, it happened to be tater tots. So I graciously let Zack know of Cassie's request and for him to make an immediate u-turn and direct the vehicle back to Sonic for some tater tots. However; my poorly trained husband has not fully learned that it is not a good idea to upset a pregnant woman, because my hormones, once again, flipped the bitch switch into the 'on' position. I begged and pleaded for him to turn around and go get tater tots... I mean come on, it's not like I was asking for a brand new house or a new puppy or a million dollars... it was just tater tots. So we got all the way home and I, not to mention Cassie, was not happy at all. I decided to channel the 1960's era and stage a sit-in in the car until Zack came back out of our apartment to take us to get tater tots. Finally after about 10 minutes of sitting in the car, my newly-trained husband came and got in the car and took us to get a large order of tater tots at Sonic. Cassie and I were very pleased and satisfied when we went to bed last night, unlike my husband.

Howdy ya'll

Hey guys,
Well I have decided to come out of the caveman days of writing in my journal and finally start a blog about our life. I'm going to post some of my old journal entries on here as well since I started my journal when Zack and I got together. So dont worry even though we've been together for almost a year now I will try to catch ya up and fill ya in!! lol Hope you enjoy reading about our life together as a Navy family!

With love,
Mrs. Kelly<3

*25* weeks down!

25 weeks down... 15 to go!

This home stretch is starting to come alittle faster now! Don't know if I'm quite prepared for all this yet... there is so much left to do: baby shower, organizing the nursery, finishing the checklists, not to mention the actual nightmare of labor! AHH! Well at least I have my amazing hubby who loves to invent new preggo jokes everyday, find new nicknames to call me like Happy Feet and Rolly Polly, pick on my 'waddle', and shake my tummy to wake the karate kid up to help me through the wonderful miracle of child birth...lucky me! The back pain has gotten worse now from all of the 6lbs. I've gained so far and the baby bump has finally gotten tighter. Not to mention the itching belly, leg cramps, being hungry every 30 minutes after getting full off of a sandwich, and the sore and (grossly enough) my fav the lactating boobs. I know, I know too much information but hey you are the one reading this to find out my progress through this miracle of life right? wouldn't want to leave anything out. Got 2 more weeks til I'm done with the paradise portion of pregnancy, the second trimester. Then it's back for round 3 featuring contractions, labor pains, and way too many needles!

Baby Presents!

I absolutely LOVE getting presents and not only did we receive wedding presents but we came home to BABY PRESENTS!!! I felt like a kid at christmas...they weren't for me specifically but they are for the crazy girl in my tummy so I get to enjoy them before she does! lol My Dad and step-mom that live in Arizona have been way too gracious enough to send tons of baby 'goodies' for lil miss Cassie!! We received the Winnie the Pooh stroller and carseat that we wanted and a big box of blankets and burp cloths that she made and baby clothes!! They were all so adorable and it has been super fun putting them all up in her closet...especially since I put the hubby to work cleaning out the spare room for me to decorate the nursery. However, when I was sifting through the clothes, I started noticing they were in all different sizes from 3 months to 18 months. This kinda made my heart sink to let reality sink in that she will grow up fast. It kinda makes me want the next 15 weeks to go by as slow as possible, because the faster she gets here the quicker she will grow up. *tear* but I guess that's just life as a mommy... watching your precious baby girl grow up day by day until she is the beautiful woman you raised her to be. Ok so this is one of my more sentimental entries, but hey life has its laughs and its tears. Live your life, love hard, and laugh much... everything else just falls into place!

Our Wedding!

After much long distance planning, stress, and migrane headaches; we finally had our beautiful wedding on August 22, 2009! It was very beautiful and thankfully the rain held up until after the ceremony, but it was fun to dance in the rain with my wedding dress and cowboy boots! Gotta live for the moment right? The food was delicious (well what I got to eat of it anyways lol) and the cake was OMG MMmmMM amazing! Not sure how long that top tier is going to last in the freezer! Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed our special day... it was great to share it with our friends and loved ones! Hopefully I'll be getting the professional pics back soon and will be posting them on facebook and myspace so be looking out for those! Now to concentrate on lil Cassie getting here!!
