Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Cole is kicking me right now. Like hard. I'm not quite used to this yet. I've been feeling him for a while, but it has gotten more predominate very suddenly. I am 25 weeks on Sunday and things are really getting "real" at this point. Like I may start freaking out if the room doesn't get finished soon. John thinks we have tons of time. Clearly he does not realize how quickly the time will go! So anyway, the new kicks are very exciting, and rather weird at the same time. It's like I'll forget for a minute that there's a tiny human in there and then WHAM he makes sure I remember. It's pretty cool :)
PS- Did I mention how HAPPY I am to be home and in my own bed again? I love my bed :)

I'm Coming Home

Having a good time on vacation but I've realized that I'm more of a "weekend vacay " kinda girl. I like taking trips, but I find I'm kinda over it after a few days. We are heading home Thursday, but I wish we were leaving tomorrow.  I think when the trip takes up most of my vacation time it makes it feel like less of a vacation or something. I guess I would rather have more time at home. Especially now when all I can think about is getting the nursery ready. So next time I will know better and take a shorter trip.

Vacation

Oh friends. I know you're going to be excited. I can now blog from my phone! This is just perfect timing since I'm currently on vacation.  We are staying on the St. Johns river and are so excited to go to St. Augustine tomorrow! John has never been so that makes it even more fun. The house we rented is not too bad. Not to thrilled about the well water though. The best part is Fitz got to come with us ! So anyway I'll keep you updated on our fun trip.

Once Bitten Twice Shy

Vampires. I'm obsessed with them. I love books, tv shows and movies about vampires. Most people know this about me. Many of my friends also enjoy them. But lets be serious, I loved them even before it was "socially acceptable". Although I still get made fun of because I also read Young Adult books about vampires. John thinks it's hilarious. For the record though, about 6 years ago, he totally bought me all 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on dvd and watched them ALL with me. Which then prompted him to buy me all 5 seasons of Angel, which he also watched. He also loves True Blood and willingly watches the Twilight Saga movies. So there. I just can't get him to watch Vampire Diaries.  So what brought on this blog? I miss True Blood, and I decided to read Breaking Dawn again. Therefore, I have vampires on the brain. Also, I found some super cute onesies that Cole needs. They say "I crawl with vampires" and "I bite". :)

Break Stuff

"It's the hormones", is my default now. Such a great excuse! Before I was just a bitch, now it's not my fault! Ok, maybe I'm still just a bitch. But my latest rant is totally valid. So John and I are going on a trip to St. Augustine for 5 days over Spring Break. I am super excited because I've been wanting to go for a while. However, I am also super pissed and annoyed for the following reasons:
1. I have to do all the packing for both of us
2. I have to run around and gather all items (including shopping for things) that need to be packed.
3. I have to clean out the trunk so we can fit suitcases into it.
4. I have to find and coordinate people to watch our 3 animals while we're away.
5. I have to make sure the house is clean before we leave so people taking care of said animals are not shocked, appalled and afraid to return.
Did I mention that I also have a meeting tomorrow afternoon and an engagement dinner Wednesday night? And what is my NON PREGNANT husband doing you may ask? Oh he's going to a hockey game on Friday night and maybe, if I'm lucky, he'll put the suitcases in the trunk for me. Can someone please explain how this is fair?! This happens every time we go out of town. Why are men incapable of packing?! Well this time, I am playing the pregnant card. If he doesn't help, we aren't going!

Shot Through the Heart

Tonight we had a lovely evening at our friends' house eating and visiting. We got home around 10:30 and as I'm getting ready for bed I realize that I am an idiot. I was supposed to go to Publix after work today to pick up my prescription refill and I totally forgot. Which wouldn't be a big deal, except this is a prescription for injections that I have to do at the same time (8:00am) every morning to ensure that Cole & I don't get any blood clots. So of course now I'm freaking out about not getting my shot on time. John assures me that they open at 8 and I can simply be waiting at the door. Luckily we live close to Publix and I can rush home to do the injection. However, that also means that the shot will be about 10 minutes late. Even worse, I will have to be dressed and out the door by 7:50. ON A SATURDAY! Why am I such an idiot?

Sweet Emotion

Cupcakes are amazing. I especially love Publix cupcakes. However, I decided today to make my own. From scratch. So I went online and found recipes for cupcakes and frosting that looked pretty simple.  Let's just say I get an A for effort. The cupcakes are pretty good, just a little heavy for my taste. The frosting is definitely too thin and just OK. So it wasn't the stunning achievement I envisioned, but I will still be eating them all. As of right now, Cole is very serious about his cupcakes. And Cole gets what he wants. :) It has nothing whatsoever to do with me. Nope, not at all.

Mine do not look even remotely this good.
