30,000 feet at 30 weeks

We went to St. Louis this past week, on a business/pleasure trip! Kurt had some things to do in a town about 2 hours away from his parents so I tagged along and hung out in St. Louis for the 2 days we was gone and then we spent the next 4 days enjoying family time! I wasn't too concerned on how traveling would effect my body with how far along I am but MAN did it take a toll on me. I found myself getting pretty grumpy by the end of the trip simply because my body ached.
We had a couple of incidents on this trip. One- the morning after we arrived, while Tyson was exploring Grandma and Grandpas house, he ran into the bathroom slipping and falling face first into the bath tub, which split both top and bottom lips, leaving them VERY fat and tender, and chipping his front tooth. Kurt's best friend from college is a Dentist and has come in very handy over the past few years! We called him immediately to which he said if you cant see any of the nerve then there is nothing you can do for a baby tooth. Luckily its not THAT bad!
Two- on the flight back home, I was holding Tyson on my side in the Las Vegas airport and suddenly felt warmth seeping through my shirt where he had peed through his diaper. If you haven't been to the Vegas airport in a while, they are doing construction and we had to walk clear across the airport to catch out connecting flight. So we were in a very big hurry- as big of a hurry as you can be 7 1/2 months pregnant and body pushed to the limit that is! So I ran to make sure we didn't miss our flight, while Kurt went to a gift shop to buy us new clothes so we didn't get on the next flight smelling like pee!
Three- When we finally got to the Reno airport, they too were doing construction and we has to walk outside all the way across the airport(again) to baggage claim, where they LOST our car seat. Luckily we had brought our second car seat to fly with and left the other one in the car. They told us they would bring it the next morning but it didn't show up until the next day about 530pm. Good thing we have a car seat in each car or they would have gotten a grumpy ear full from a pregnant lady!
By the time we finally got to the car, I could hardly walk anymore, my back and legs were about to give out and I felt extremely nauseous. Got home, and threw up pretty much everything that was in my stomach and have been sick ever since. Not sure if I caught something somewhere along the way or my body is just saying it needs a rest!
Four- then to top it all off- because we didn't have a car seat in my car, Kurt took it to work and left the truck for me. I get a call about 545pm from Kurt saying that the tire blew on my car and he would have to try and change it on the side of the road. He did it pretty quickly but when he got home, told me that it wasn't that my tire was bad but that a huge chunk of metal stabbed it through it.
So although we had a great time in Missouri, we had our share of mishaps!

UGH.

Let me take a few moments to complain. I try really really hard not to be a complainer. I mean I have an amazing life, with an amazing husband who loves me and a handsom son who brightens my day. I dont have any major trials going on in my life. I have a nice home where my family is safe. My life is pretty darn great and there are people in a lot worse situations than me, so I have no right to complain... But lately its really hard to hold it in so let me just vent for a moment.
My belly is getting so big that I can hardley hold Tyson anymore and when I do, I feel so much pressure I can barely stand it. I try to get down and play with him but any position I sit in is uncomfortable. He is getting more and more adventurous and I'm getting more and more tired and more and more uncomfortable. I am so tired but cant seem to get comfortable at night or during the day to take a nap.
Some times I have to go to peoples houses who have breakable things and Tyson seems to go right to those and wont leave them alone. I chase him around, ware myself out and try to hold him on my lap which I said before I can not do anymore.
I really do love being pregnant and feeling the baby move and grow but I am SO READY to be done. I know it will be hard when I am trying to give two babies attention but I will actually be able to bend over to play with them and really give them both the attention I want to!
 I'm tired. I'm worn down. And I'm grumpy. Thats my complaining for the moment. The end.

Wyoming is cold!

                Like I said I went to see my family in WY for a week...here's a little peak of our fun!

The big 2-5.

UGH. That means Im half way to 50! That is really scary :)

Well my birthday was almost a month ago but as you know I am way behind. And since I am skipping my nap today, which I am already regretting. I figured I would blog a little.

I went to Wyoming to see my family for a week. That is the LONGEST I have ever been away from my husband. Including while we were dating. It was hard to be gone from him but nice to get out of my daily routine in Nevada. While all of my family live with in a 3 hour circle of each other you would think it would be easy for me to see everyone and spend quality time with each of them...but its not! Each have a different schedual of course. So everyone planned on coming to my parents house for one day to get together. This isn't unusual. Like I said, everyone is busy and has different scheduals so we usually are able to get together for atleast a couple of hours. As my nieces and nephews started showing up, they got out balloons, ribbon, party decorations and again I thought nothing of it. Just kids finding things to do at Grandma's house I suppose. As we started to play games, I started to get a wiff of lit matches which I just shrugged off as pregnancy nose catching someones fireplace or something. Then all of the sudden out of the blue my sister and her husband come around the corner with a cake singing happy birthday and suddenly I realized that this was all for me; making sure everyone was able to come, the kids blowing up balloons, the smell of the buring candles they were lighting on the cake. I dont know if it was suppose to be a suprise or not but it was! And it was great! I'll have to get pictures from my Mom since she took all of them on her camera. But it was really really great and I felt very very loved!

When I got home my husband greeted me in the airport with a big hug and kiss and 2 birthday presents; a movie and child cabnet locks. I really did need to put some locks on cabinets so I again assumed he was getting me a practical gift. When we arrived home, there in the middle of the living room sat a cherry wood DVD cabinet with doors that close and will fit all of our movies from 2 shelves into one. Tyson constantly liked to pull movies off the open shelves and Kurt knew how much a closed cabinet WITH LOCKS! would mean to me! What a great way to spend my 25th Birthday! I got a lot of amazing gifts, was suprised a lot and got to spend it with people I love!

Baby boy #2

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and found out we are having another boy! Kurt and I(and everyone else I think) thought it would be a girl...then the ultrasound tech lady asked if we had any guesses and when I said the word "girl" I knew in that instance it was going to be a boy! He was being a little shy at first but after alittle shaking and wiggling he decided to show all! And there are no doubts that he is infact a boy! I think some where deep inside, Tyson understood. Because for the rest of the day he was extremely hyper! We were chasing him around last night while he laughed, trying to get his P.J.'s on and I couldnt help but think how fun it will be chasing two little guys around! Call me crazy but I am excited for those times.
