The end is close

So my "due" date is in 4 more days. Im at the anxious, nervous, restless stage and so ready to have Tristan in my arms. So is John. When Tristan does come Johnny is taking a week off of work to be home with us. The other day he text me and said "Can Tristan be here yet?" I asked why and he said "because I dont wanna be at work. I wanna be with the 2 of you :D" It brought a smile to my face and made me miss him. If I had it my way neither of us ever have to work again so we can spend every second together. Neither of us really get any sleep at night. He has been taking sleep meds so he's not too tired at work. We both just toss and turn and are too anixous. My back, tail bone, and hips are in killer pain whenever I lay down so I try to stay up as much as possible so when I do finally lay down I can just pass out.

We had an appointment yesterday and because our dr had her baby last week we had a different dr. It was kinda weird having a different dr. She was looking over my chart and was looking at my weight throughout the pregnancy and other things and just said "you are lucky. Your weight has stayed a consistant gradual increase, You have no swelling at all. Im jealous." I just smiled and said thanks. Even though it seems like its taking forever, especially these past few weeks, I am thankful that he is taking his time and is gonna be healthy. Also my mom is coming out on the 6th now so she will see him as only a week or even less old. Which I am happy about.
I just thought it was funny that I can FINALLY use my belly as a tray. Ha.

Ok so I had to share this.

Apparently our economy is so bad that they had to put these sticky notes on sale. Wow!! You save a penny!! Better get over to Macy's and buy them before they cost a dollar again:D oh man. Some people.

Well hopefully next time I make a post will be to say that Tristan has arrived.

Surprise!!!!!!!

No Tristan isn't here yet. On friday Johnny and I went to dinner at Los Hermonos. Yum. While we were driving there I called my mom cuz I hadnt talked to her that day. She asked what we were doing so I told her we were going to dinner and then had to hang up so we could order. Johnny and I are just sitting there talking and had just barely started to eat our food when all of a sudden this lady just stopped just before our booth. (ours was in the corner against the wall so there was nowhere else for her to go) So I look up at her and thought to myself "This lady looks familar.....where do I know her from......wait she looks like my mom.....HOLY CRAP!! ITS MY MOM!!!!!"
So I jump up and just grab her and start bawling. Then I noticed my little sister standing behind her. So I let go and grabbed her and just started crying harder.

We sat down so I could regain myself and try and breathe. My mom was worried that she was going to put me into labor. I asked her why she was here and how come I didnt know about it. Her and my little sister came out to come to my baby shower. She was the one person I really wanted there for it and had up until that point thought it wouldn't be possible at all. Back to dinner. I ended up only taking 2 bites of my meal cuz I just couldn't calm down enough to eat anything. So we just sat at the restaurant for a couple of hours talking and then emma came and slept at our house and my mom went and slept at Maury's house to help get stufff ready for the shower. Then on Saturday Emma and I woke up and got my mom and went and got breakfast and some last minute shower things. The shower was fun and the gifts were great but I was exausted afterwards and we all crashed that night. Thanks to all who came and thanks to Cynthia and Maury for doing the whole thing. Well monday came way too fast and that meant my mom and Emma had to go home. So I took them to the airport and dropped them off and as soon as I was off the airport property the tears started rolling. It was way too hard to have them leave so soon. But they will be back in 3 weeks. Thank you mom for coming. I love you!!!


I am now 37 weeks and so ready to be not pregnant and to have Tristan in my arms.

Pictures

Well Im now 36 weeks and so ready to be done. But he needs to stay in there untill at least Feb 11. My mom, Emma, and Josh come out that day from Cali and I want them to not only see my belly in person but I also want my mom to be here when he's born. On Sunday John and I went out to Megan's house to take some belly pictures. It was a lot of fun and freezing in her house but worth it. I already knew she was an amazing photographer but this shoot blew me outta the water. It was her first maternity shoot so we were experimenting on how exactly to do it. Thank you once again Megan. You truely are amazing!! :D Go check them out at: www.photosbymegang.blogspot.com

How do you fall up the stairs and land 10 ft away?

I honestly don't know how to properly answer that question. But yes I did fall up my stairs and land 10 ft away. How you ask? I was walking up them and when I got to the second step from the top I somehow lost my footing or something and just started to go up and I guess I was trying to re gain my footing but then hit some ice and snow and then ended up kinda falling on my belly and rolling over it landing on my back. In the process I manage to not only land on my belly but also hit my shoulder pretty bad and my low back and tail bone. Thank God I had my cell phone in my pocket and didnt leave it in the car while I went inside cuz I would have just been stuck there. I called John to come out and help me up and I was just covered in snow and could barely walk and couldn't move my arm at the shoulder at all. John said that I should go to the hospital to have the baby checked out but Im stubborn and so I told him no. We went down to his work to get something from his mom and while we were there he told his mom that I fell on my belly and with tears in his eyes he looked at me and said "that's my baby in there. You need to go get him checked out." So after that I cracked and we went to the hospital. When we got there I went to the er part cuz I didnt no if I should go there or upstairs. The guy at the desk asked "do you need to see a doctor?" No genius. Just thought I'd come to the er and visit. Duh. So he asked what was wrong and then said take a seat and a nurse will call you. Well I thought that was odd since I just told him Im 34 weeks pregnant and fell on my belly. But a nurse came out immediatly and called me back. So he asked what was wrong and I told him and then the first guy I talked to was like "wait how far along are you?" So I said 34 weeks. And he starts laughing and said "Oh i thought you said 3 to 4 weeks. We need to get you upstairs then!" They wheeled me upstairs and had a nurse hook me up to monitor Tristans heart rate and contractions. Then they called my doctor to see what she said. She just wanted them to monitor him for a while just to make sure and then give me lortab and had me walk around for 15 min cuz my legs were numb but I could only do it for about 7 min because they started shaking, I almost fell and the pain was just too much to handle. I got there around 10 30 pm and they let me go at 4 am. My doctor recommended that I go to the er just to get my back and stuff checked out. They just said because your pregnant we cant take an x-ray so all we can do is say you tail bone is either bruised badly or possibly broken and they gave me more pain meds. When I finally laied down to go to bed it to all the strenth in my body to get in my bed and lay on my side. And I was constantly waking up because it was so hard to flip over to the other side. At times I would be outta breathe. Im just glad Tristan is ok and I didn't get hurt worse then I did. Although this pain is terrible and just want it to heal quickly. So like I said I'm now 34 weeks and time is kinda flying by. I cant wait till Tristan is here.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!

Much love,
John, Sarah, Tristan and Ryder




Ryder likes to smile

John came home from work one day and his arm looked like this. I asked him if he was turning into a reptile or something.

AHHHHHH!!!!!

So Im on the verge of honestly pulling all my hair out. Maybe I'll pull a Britney Spears and just shave it. That would be easier. Last Thursday we woke up and our bathroom and kitchen were flooded. It would have been ok but our kitchen is carpet, so you can just imagine. We called our landlord and told them and they sent their cousin to come see what was up. He thought it was the toilet so he "fixed" it and was on his way. Well it flooded again and again. So they came back and said "oh its the water heater. There was too much pressure so it's spitting out water and not air". So they "fixed" that. Well once again it flooded again and again. So they came back yet again and this time said its the the pipe in the shower. So they ripped out our shower and while they were out buying the stuff to re-do the shower it flooded again. So then they took our toilet off once again. All I have to say is dont take a pregnant womans toilet!! Who does that?! So the problem is finally, hopefully fixed. And I got my toilet back :D but I dont have a shower. First they take the pregnant womans toilet and now her shower!! When are they going to learn. Well because of the water on the carpet it smells of rank water and they are going to be coming in and ripping up the carpet and putting tile in. So it's still not done. So I'm an emotional wreck and very stressed. Not good. I told John to just ignore my rudeness. Crazy Psycho Pregnant Woman is here for a little bit. I'll just be happy when it;s all over.

31 weeks, almost there

Wow. Almost to eight months. Just 9 more weeks till my wittle boy is here. Well technically anywhere between now and then. Im hoping to make it to his due date because my doctor is due Jan 22 and my mom is planning on coming out the beginning of Feb. So Tristan keep cookin, even though I want you here. I cant believe its already been almost 8 months since John and I got married. It has flown by so fast. In a good way. The prego dreams are still coming. Cant wait for them to be over. Weirdest one is that my mom and I had the same one kinda. Kind of freaky if you ask me.

Ive been looking around for a carseat and stroller and just have decided that I am just way too picky. I see one I like but then there is always something I dont like. Ive been mostly looking at brown, green and blue as a combo. I found some online but I want to see them in person. lol. John calls me crazy. I just want the perfect one for my baby. I went with my prego friend Cynthia yesterday to register at babies-r-us. I had a blast picking out things I liked and want for him. I cant wait to decorate his little room.

And whats up with no snow?! Its freezing out there and the only way its ok to be cold is when there is snow. For all the snow haters out there, quit hating. Its December and should be snowing.

Gotta get back to my amazing job. Sitting here watching Anchorman is fun and makes time go faster. Enjoy the pics. Sorry theres none of John and I.


Everyone says my belly is bigger in pictures. I promise its really mine. lol



Its kinda hard to draw a heart on your belly when you cant see. :)


Thought it was cute. Ryder giving his brother a kiss.

Twilight and me ranting

First I have to warn this blog is pretty long and I appologize but I'm work stuck next to what my boss calls Hebrew hall. Which is those kiosk in the mall that sell that dead sea crap and the straightners. So I just have time and need to keep busy so I don't go crazy. Thanks. I went to the midnight showing of Twilight with my mother-in-law, sister and brother-in-law and two of their friends. After sitting outside in the cold for 2 hrs and inside for another 1 and a half we finally got to see the movie. Although I still don't think Robert justifies Edward he finally grew on me and the movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was kinda cheesy I thought and at times really funny. Overall it was worth freezing and staying up late to go see. Also for some reason seeing Edward in the movie made me love and value my husband even more then I already do. Even though Edward is flawless and has all the qualities any normal woman would want I realized that John comes very close to him. Even though he may not always have the right thing to say and sometimes the things he tries to say comes out wrong, he's not able to be there at my side 24/7, he's still the best husband and friend a girl could ask for. When I left the movie all I wanted to do was get home and cuddle up next to him. And Im glad that when I was finally able to he wasn't ice cold but actually very very warm. John is definitely my Edward and I wouldn't have it any other way. Well enough about that. lol. Onto a different subject. I have decided that I hate the dreams that come along with being pregnant. Yet then again some have been happy, funny, entertaining and others kinda weird. Last week I had a friend pass away from a car wreck and it's still slowly sinking in that shes actually gone. Even going to the funeral wasn't enough for it to totally hit me. Well I've been having dreams since then about me being in car wrecks and they are VERY scary and VERY vivid. Like I can give every detail about them. I had one the other day that made me wake up and just cry. And when I drove that day I just totally avoided where it was just in case. Let's just say I was in a wreck and I survived but a little guy didn't. Thats not something I want to think about or dream about. I also had one this morning where I was in florida and talking to my best friend Jordan on the phone and on my way to visit her and all of a sudden I drove off a bridge that was up to allow a boat to go through. Eveything was fine except the fact that my beautiful Charger was at the bottom or the ocean. Another one I had recently was kinda funny and weird. I was carrying twins and the first was a boy and then an hour after giving birth to him they released me from the hospital and I didn't have the other baby till the next day while I was at Costco shopping with my mom. The weirdest part was that it was a little half black half white girl. Ok so how does that one happen. Idk. All I know is I woke up and was just way confused. Im just hoping that these dreams start going more towards the happy side. No more bad ones please. Last but not least. I woke up with really bad pains and it felt like I was peeing razor blades and someone was stabbing me with a knife. So after calling emt Alisha :) I called and set up an appointment with my doctor. Turns out I have a UTI. AHHHH!! Let's just say they suck and am glad I got medicine before it got worse. I think the main reason I got it is cuz I sit at a kiosk and and not really supposed to leave a lot cuz Im the only one. So I try not to go to the bathroom often. Well I have learn that lesson. For now on as much water as my body can hamdle and go as often as possible.

I was tagged by my sister-in-law Amber to list 6 quirky things about myself.

1. I still sleep with a blanket at night. ha. Im such a wuss. I just like to have it at least touching me. Either under my head, over me, or in my arms. I also have a stuffed moose but he just sleeps next to me. Maybe one day I'll grow out of my security blanket stage. But for now it helps me sleep.

2. This may sound very strange but I sometimes put honey in my macaroni and cheese. Yes you read that right. I dont know why. But ever since I was little I am always mixing different kinds of food. I also like Oreos dipped in vegetable dip, sour patch kids in nacho cheese just to name a few. Call me weird but just try it. Maybe you'll like it too.

3. My food can't touch eachother. If I could always use one of those plates that have the different sections then I would. I've gotten better then I used to be but I still have a hard time when things touch. I was at a friends and they made the plate up for me a the jello touched everything. The chicken, salad, potaoes, and bread. When my friend looked at it and remebered I am this way she grabbed a new plate and I felt bad but was able to eat it in peace.

4. John said I should put that I watch CSI: Miami. But I think that show rocks. I think one thing I do is watch tv shows even though I absolutly HATE them. Like the Hills, Dr. 90210 just name a few. I think I do it cuz I love making fun of the people or just sitting there wondering why the crap people do some of the things they do. In the end I feel much better about myself. lol. Like I realize that I'm perfect just the way I am and dont need plastic surgery or very thankful I'm not ditzy, stupid or fake. haha.

5. I don't finish my drinks at home. I'm kinds like the girl from the movie Signs. Like her I will start a drink but never get around to finishing it. When it comes to water especially I have to have ice in it or be really really cold and once the ice melts or it becomes room temp I want nothing to do with it. When it comes to sodas in cans I hardly ever finish them. If I put them in a cup I do. This drives John up the wall. He always puts them in the fridge but I think flat soda is gross. Along the same line I have this werid obsession you could say with water bottles. Im constantly buying new ones. Not the dollar ones but like the nice ones. Idk why but I do.

6.My favorite thing ever is getting my back and feet massaged or tickled. Id rather have that then eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, you name it. I told John I just need a robot so that when his hands get tired or he isn't there the robot can do it. He didn't like that idea. But I still do think it's a good idea.

I tag Megan, Andrea, and Alisha.
