My Mini Me-

Another Dr. Visit

Hoping that Doc will say I am dilated a little bit. Let's hope!

Car Seat

is out, cleaned, and ready for Thomas!

Sunday Sunday

Church as usual today. Sunday school started up last week. Emmy's always excited for Sunday with her teacher Barb. After church, we grabbed some Taco's and enjoyed some time at the school's play yard w/ my Emmy. The rest of the afternoon to late evening was spent at Lia's place for some yummy barbequed brats and steak. Lia turned 32~ The cousins confirmed our usual Halloween party for this year at our place. Theme is Villians vs. Heros. Im a Villian this year. WE'll see if I even dress up this year.
It's late and Bob and I are still up. I swear our late late nights end up in late late mornings. Hahaha...oh vell!
Tommorrow is another day. I plan on getting myself on MA to get some extra coverage for that extra 10% that BCBS doesn't cover. If i get in, that means I automatically qualify for WIC. I hope that's the case. HOPE HOPE HOPE! My breast pump should be on it's way sometime this or next month as well. So glad everything always falls in to place. Thanks to God- everything is always possible! How do people live w/out God? I wonder....cus I know for sure I can't.
I cleaned out Emmy's clothes. Storing all her summer shorts and dresses away for next summer. I rearranged all her clothes upstairs and downstairs. I still have yet to get Bob to get that damn carseat down. Tommorrow! My hosptial bag is offically packed now.
Emmy is sound asleep. Gotta make myself go to bed soon too.

Clean Up Day Again....

I can't get enough of cleaning the shit outta everything. I reorganized and cleaned up my dresser and everything behind it. I cleaned up the desk. I feel so much better after the room looks neat and clean. Saw my Dr. today and baby is in position with head down first. I know it sounds funny, but I'm excited for the contractions to come so I can get this labor done with.
I pulled together a gift for Chia for Xmas. I got rid of alot of stuff I never used that just sat around. I'm really excited for the holidays this year as Thomas will join us. Really wish I could spend xmas with my family in Two Rivers. We'll have to see once the time comes near. Oh and I pulled out my Xmas cards for this year. Once Thomas comes, we'll have to take family pictures.
Emmy is on letter "E". She's coming along really good. She forgets the "A" all the time. I hope they'll teach her abc's at preschool boost.

I love Emmy!

Emmy puts a tape in the middle of her forehead and says, "Mommy, look I'm India." Little punk, I didn't know she knew that India people do that. So cute!

I had one of the most relaxing Sundays ever. We went to church- Emmy started her first day of Sunday School. She got to pick out a free movie and she picked out, Jojo's Circus- "Take a Bow". It's so cute b/c Jojo's so like her. Silly goose! After church, we went out for lunch at Fridays, came home and cleaned up the room, did the laundry, and cleaned up the desk a little. It was about 6pm when we decided to take Emmy to the park. However we ended up doing some fishing by the fishing pier off of 169 by the Champlin area. I love it. The weather's amazing. The duckies were out swimming around yet....this for sure, will not last for long. I love fall. I absolutely love it!

Boring day in the neighborhood

What to do...what to do...I'm getting sleepy- Emmer's out taking a nap and so should I. Actually, I need to pack my hospital bag. I'll do that in a bit. Sent the girls their bday gifts today. Talked to Gerk and she says she wants to be here after baby is born. Hope so b/c I'll need all the help I can get. Little sisters = HELP BIG TIME!

Man there must be a dog war today. Dogs barking like whoa! Lose dogs in the neighborhood- neighbors running w/ dogs everywhere.

Oh Bob got a speeding ticket. That sucks butt! I'm making him go see a judge so they'll at least cut it in half or take it off his record.

Ordering too much online

This is the first time of my life I've actually ordered multiple things online. I usually don't past the submit part b/c I hate shipping but lately- I've order stuff. Hehehe....I got my CS Palette, my photos, my awesome deals from The Limited, and now a jacket with a few other things from Target. Can't wait for the rest of the stuff to come in. I'm in love with my CS Palette. Very well worth the money-

I ran out today and got some cheap gifts for the girls. I can't believe how old they are now. Hehehe...Love my sisters! On the way- I grabbed mil 4 new shirts to wear around the house. I couldn't resist it b/c they were only $2 a piece. Couldn't miss out on it.

Emmy and I are on the letter "D", like Thai Dee- Hehehe...that girl, she does not have the motivation to learn at all! I get frustrated with her sometimes....but so far, so good. She's doing a good job. We're coming to mid month of September already. She starts school Oct 2nd. I'm super excited to see how that goes for her. Ready to meet the teacher and new friends- exciting!

Working on Photos

Got in my photos I ordered. I put together a family frame of Bob, Emmy, and Me. It's super cute. Soon enough after Thomas is here, we can take family photos and add him to the wall. My next project is to make slideshows of all my photos in my computer. I don't have room to print these photos and store them in booklets anymore and they're taking up my computer space!

Finally got Neha and Dankat's discs burned to be sent out tomorrow. Emmy finally can pin point what is A, B, and C. She also knows O, S, and Q. I'm proud of her. We got her some new flash cards and a erase away laminated abc learning sheet. She studied some more before I told her it was bedtime. She peeled 2 oranges for us to eat, used the bathroom, and is now dreaming away. I love my baby! She can be such a bad girl around everyone, but around me, she's the best little girl ever.

Early this morning, us 3 went out to Burlington Coat Factory to see if we could find me a jacket for winter- no luck. Fat as heck! Watever! Oh and we saw a later with the longest nails ever in my fuckin life. Her nails were as long as half of her freaking arm. YES, YOU READ RIGHT! Freaked Bobby, Emmy, Me, customers, and the cash register lady out. Nasty- made me lose my appetite. My guess is that she's going for the world genus record thing. Emmy picked out an outfit for Thomas to get baptized in. She picked well. It's a cute preemie khaki dress pants, blue dress shirt, with a white striped vest. Afterwards, we hit up CP to play. Daddy and Emmy went down the big slide twice. I'm hoping to get up early again tomorrow. Let's hope so peace out!

Maximum boredum

What to do what to do. I didn't enjoy going to work everyday but now that I'm a bumb at home- I miss work, in particular the paychecks. I've decided I'm going to take Emmy to the public library kid events. Today we started on her ABC's. She was able to write A a, B b, and C c. I'm so proud of her! Big girl with big brains.

It's late. I should make myself go to bed but I've been so use to these late nights, late mornings. I've been putting Emmy to sleep around 10pm so she's out now. Early this morning she crawled close to me and said, "Mommy, I miss you". It was so cute! I woke up to snuggle next to her. I love my baby- Emmy will always be my baby-regardless.

I watched Mannequin 1 & 2 yesterday. Good movies- Old, but good. I got my last 11hour paycheck today. So sad- oh well. OH and get this, got me some nice earrings from Limited for $2 each- I'm a professional!

I've been thinking about a getaway for my hubby and I. Just the two of us. I think we deserve it and need it. Maybe after Thomas comes, we'll try and spare some time to escape this hard headed life. Soon enough, it'll be 2011. DAMN! This year has flown by. Soon I'll be what, 27? I can't remember my age. I know, it's pathetic, but i lost count after i turned 21. LOL! Night!

Late Saturday

Watched Wicked today at the Orpheum Theatre. They did a great job...I just had a hard time sitting through the first half b/c my belly is hugmongo! Came home and took the kiddies to the park. It got chilly fast so we headed home after an hour or so. The evening was spent at Byder's house. He was more active than usual. I think it was his house so he was showing it off to me and Emmy. LOL...i love byder- he's the best baby in the world. On our way home we stopped at Walmart. Was there till midnight- got home, ate some noodles. Bob's out cold and Emmy is enjoying her new Barbie movie. Did some online window shopping at Bath and Body Works. I hate shipping and handling fees. I love putting things in my bag but when i get to the payment section, i always end up canceling it. Cramping a little tonight. Gotta head the sheets. Got church tommorrow.

Shopping Mode-

Got myself some plastic bins for my shoes. I only grabbed 6 but I'm in need of at least 4 more. Maybe later this week. I pulled out all of Thomas's bottles and bottle scrubbers to put upstairs. I need to get my hospital bag packed soon. Maybe tomorrow I'll work on that. I've got my scarfs all bundled up and ready for fall.

Oh I finally ordered the 26 shadow/blush combo palette from Coastal Scents. I'm super duper excited to get it. I hope to get it no later than the end of next weekend. I promise myself NO MORE MAKEUP FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!! I also placed an order on all the recent photos. Excited to see those come in as well.

Emmy spent a few hours out with Johnny and Christian. She came back home excited b/c she got some new gadgets to entertain herself. The weather has been awesome. Everyone around me has been complaining about it but I LOVE IT. We'll see if Thomas comes in time for Halloween. I went out to Lia's last night to do the laundry b/c our washer died. Our new one comes in Saturday. I'll have to wash up the rest of Thomas's clothes before he comes. He was kicking alot earlier- he must of enjoyed what I ate.


Emmy: Mom, I'm a big girl now. You can take my diapers and take them back to Target. I don't want to wear it anymore. I just keep growing.

Me: Well honey, you keep peeing at night so you need to wear diapers until you can get up and use the bathroom. You need to learn okay?

Emmy: You need to learn too Mom because you still wear diapers too.

Me: (omg- laughing my butt off) Mommy wears those for something else. When you grow up I'll teach you about it but no, Mommy does not pee in her pants anymore.

Emmy: Yeah you do, you need to learn Mommy.

Fall in the Wind

It's been a while since I've updated. Alot has been going on. My ligament pain isn't bothering me anymore so I've been feeling alot better these days. The Vang family was in town all weekend long so I was busy being a host showing everyone around town. The ceremony went well and all the cousins stayed to dance the night away until clean-up. I'm so thankful my ligament issues went away otherwise it would have been just agony and pain through-out the entire weekend.

Gosh- it feels sooo good to be home. Sleeping in does a body good. The weather has been nice and cool. I LOVE IT. Fall is my favorite season esp b/c I get to wear sweaters, sweats, boots, and be cozy. The colors of fall brings me smiles.

I can't believe September is here, which means Thomas will be here very soon. I'm so excited to see him. Cannot wait for him to come. We'll see if he waits till October to join us. My Emmy has been very anxious for Thomas. She talks about him as though he's here w/ us already. I've been so excited for Thomas's coming that I forget that my Emmy won't be the only child anymore. Linda reminded me to spend every moment I have left with her b/c when Thomas gets here- my Emmy won't have the same attention and focus like the old days. It's been us 3 for a long time so having my boy join us will complete some of the missing pieces in our life. Can't wait!

I see my doc in a little bit. Gotta run to Lia's to do some laundry later too- our washer died. Heheh...k - Emmy wants to play barbie so peace out blogers-

Past days

has been really hard. I've had a lot of pain, left work thinking I was in labor...etc....turns out what I'm struggling through is called Round Ligament Pain. I've been in pain for the past 2 days. I don't know how much longer I can handle this. Can pregnancy get this worst. OMG! Oh and to top that- i'm on bedrest. No work, no money.
