everyone has 'em, but some stink more than others.
1. Caleb commenting on a shirt I own that has a large butterfly on the side: "Wow, you get any bigger and that butterfly is going to turn into a dragon"
2. Camping, Caleb wanting me to get off of the air mattress: "Roll over" - "I can't" - "come on, you are built to roll"
3. Dr. Ojeda measuring the baby: "Whoa, this baby's getting BIG! Don't get too big baby, seven pounds will do"
4. The nurse at the Dr.s office: "Ok you weigh ____." (like I am going to tell you!)
5. Although I did tell my mom and she said "whoa! really, well you don't look like it." LOL, gotta love the moms

T.M.I.
Too Much Information
Ok so last night was an evening of firsts. The first first: I had my first episode of Braxton Hicks contractions, and boy did it hurt! My goodness I couldn't even praise sing last night cause I was just cramping and cramping. LOL I don't think I have ever felt so pregnant. I know I was walking like a weary prego (despite my best attempts at acting normal) because several people (even teens) were asking if I was ok. But I got through it. The only problem is I know that was just a taste of the real thing, and I really don't want to think about labor or delivery, ever. On the plus side I was talking to another woman in our church about it and she said she started feeling contractions at five months; so I shall continue to count myself very lucky and thank God for such an easy pregnancy.
Now, the second first. Ready? Ok. I totally lost my skirt as I was walking to my car last night. I know this is T.M.I., but I love a good laugh and if anything this is funny to me. All night my skirt kept slipping down farther than I would like. I was constantly pulling it back up. In fact, earlier that evening I told one of the girls that I just might lose my skirt. Well I must be a prophet, because I lost it. And when I say lost it, I mean LOST it. To the ground, with 3 1/2 inch heels on. It took myself, Caleb and another lady to pull the thing up. LOL, thankfully I had a pretty thick slip on underneath. The good and bad part is I think R.L. and T.L. were the only ones that actually saw me, ahhh, exposed? Unfortunately, they also thought it was the funniest thing ever and spread the word to quite a few people. Lets just say my niece, who was not even at church she was at the beach, called me an hour later to laugh at me. Anyway, yeah it was quite embarrassing. I am not even sure why I am posting this, really so tacky tacky tacky.
I think I am trying to work through the emotional trauma.
Anyway in other news: I am going to Dr. again today. I am officially on the "every two weeks" schedule. I think I have to do that glucose test today. Not looking forward to that.

The best Father's Day ever
It's something we hope for, pray for, and expect to happen one day. Some may wait many years to experience it, but yesterday morning Caleb got a taste and is forever inspired.
Most know that for the last several months Caleb and another man from our church have been teaching a Bible study to a men/women's group home. As of three weeks ago Caleb has been really excited every time he comes home from Bible study. He has been teaching about the plan of salvation and the essentiality of being baptized in the Name of Jesus. Several times a week he will sit back in his chair and say "I think they are starting to see it." Last week we were in Fresno on Sunday morning and Caleb just knew someone from the Bible study was going to be baptized. Well, it didn't happen that Sunday. But guess what. It did happen this Sunday! It was so neat and such a special moment. The man, whose name is Larry, is such a tender hearted man. He was up in the balcony, and at some point in alter call Caleb went up stairs and brought him down to the front. As soon I saw Caleb and Larry praying together I just began to weep with such a burden for Larry. Soon enough between Caleb and Bro. Booker praying for him, Larry received the Holy Ghost. When he was through praying, Caleb asked him if he was ready to be baptized. He said yes, and they were off to the changing room. It was the neatest thing to see him come up out of the water speaking in tongues. Caleb was beside himself with joy. God has been so good to us and this last event was just the icing on the cake.

It's the Father's Day season, With a whoop-de-do and hickory dock
Happy Father's Day to You!
Some may disagree that Caleb gets to celebrate Father's day this year, seeing as he has yet to ever change a diaper. I think his is and is going to be one of the best Dad's of all time, so with that in mind let me tell you what I got him as advance payment for being the best Dad ever.
An Axe. That's right, an axe. Yesterday, we went to Lowes and Caleb picked out some fancy smancy axe. As previously posted, we are set to go camping next weekend and ever since our last camp out (last summer) Caleb has been begging for an axe. The reason? Why, so he can cut his own fire wood of course. So now, Caleb is not only a mighty man who can, even now, bench press my weight at least once (trust me that is a GREAT accomplishment);, he is a mighty man wielding an axe.
Here's the specs:Premium axe's innovative handle design delivers powerful blows with comfort
Includes sharpening stone
Anti vibration handle
Forged heat-treated head for the ultimate in durability and safety
Handle Material:Fiberglass
Weight (lbs.):3.5
Material:Steel
Warranty:Limited Lifetime
Handle Length (Inches):32.0

Day 2- Joblessness
Monday doesn't really count because I planned on being a total bum and sleeping in as long as possible. Tuesday was day one and not much was accomplished. I put our changing table together, but that's about it. Today I am going to do lots, I can feel it. Yup any time now that energy bug is going to hit me and I am going to do everything on my to do list and MORE. Any time now.
In other news: I am going to attend a maternity tea at my hospital on July 1st. so that will be fun.
Less than 100 days to go!

Updates
Ok so here is an update post. These are Caleb's favorites.
1. There are no pics on my blog because I lost the charger to our new camera and I have not been able to find it ANYWHERE. I think my Mom may have a pic of Caleb and I so I am going to try to find it.
2. Shower date: AUG 8th 2009 @ My sister in law KIM's house @ about 6ish we're thinkin'.
3. Whoot is the devil. Just thought I would throw that in seeing as I was just thinking about how much he ruined our nice backyard.
4. I am NOT changing hospitals after all. Before my Dr. appt this afternoon I was convinced I needed to change hospitals for the sake and comfort of my family. (The family that's here now, not the baby) Well I talked to my Doc and I told him the situation and honestly he wasn't too happy about it. He didn't talk me out of it, but he did say that it would be best for me to start being cared for my the Doc that would deliver rather than just show up at his hospital. So because I really don't want to change Doctors I am going to stay with my hospital no matter how small the post delivery room is.
5. We have a crib! (And I don't mean the slang for a nice house) Caleb and I finally put our crib together this afternoon. The miracle of it all is that we did not even get in a fight over it.
6. Today I was serving myself some rainbow sorbet and I was all done so of course I just popped the spoon in my mouth. Well the spoon was so cold that it stuck to my bottom lip and like a dummy I just pulled it off. So now I have little cuts along my lip. (Just thought I would let you know)

This is the best prego pic I have. Not very informative, but trust me my tum is getting very large. It's a hand magnet. We're going CAMPING!!!!
hooray! camping, camping, camping, camping, camping, camping, camping, camping, camping.

So this is Love....
This past Thursday my co workers (whom I love!) gave me a surprise baby shower. And believe it or not, I was actually surprised!
The card that my class gave me had a really cute little poem on it. The card reads: You're going to fall in LOVE again with someone's tender charms. You're going to be demolished by a pair of little arms. Yes, you're going to fall in love again the signs are very clear. Get ready for a brand-new crush, as soon as baby's here!
It's so funny that they picked that card because I was just thinking about how having a baby feels a lot like falling in love. I day dream, have sweet dreams and imagine how wonderful my little guy is going to be. I can already see those chubby little baby cheeks (both kinds) and I just want to squeeze 'em. Basically I am totally obsessed with my kid, and he is not even here yet.
As shower gifts I was given a case of diapers and tons of wipes. Then I was told to expect the diapers to only last about two weeks if I'm lucky. I was also given a gift card to Target. I spent the gift card today and bought a changing table(on sale) to match my crib and a few other items. I have always bragged about my coworkers, but honestly they totally out did themselves on Thursday. All snot nosed children aside, I am so very thankful to God for blessing me with such a great work environment.

It has finally happened. I cant control my need for ice cream. I am going to be a blimp by next week. I went for a walk today so that I could burn enough calories to justify some rainbow sorbet. lol, I think I am going to have to go to the store to get some sugar free pops asap.
In other news, we are going to have wait at least five weeks to find out how our house loan stuff is going. As usually we ran into a BIG brick wall, but there are legitimate ways around it. So once again we are playing the wait and see game for the next month.
In other, other news, the baby is kicking up a storm! It is an uncomfortable but nice reminder that our baby is growing and getting stronger.
School is out next Thursday and I will be jobless until further notice. (So, if you ever want to hang with a hungry prego give me a call!) Well I will have a job, just not one that pays on a regular basis.
Oh, This is new as of five minutes ago. I am thinking of switching docs for my delivery. My reason is our hospital is really far, and we are getting worried about being stuck in rush hour traffic when I begin to go into labor. Also, I know that in the last four weeks I am supposed to go to the dr. every week and it just seems like that is a really long drive to make just to see the dr. for five minutes. Let alone a drive I will be making by myself because I am sure Caleb will not be able to make all of those appointments. I dont know, it is just a thought I have been kicking around.
