We are Good People!!

I had to laugh at this conversation Reece and I had as we were driving past a Subway restaurant the other day.

Reece: Hey Mom, what are those cops doing at Subway?

Me: They are eating lunch..they get to eat there for free ya know!

Reece: Eat for free, Why?

Me: Because they do alot of good for our community and they are good people.

Reece: Well, we're good people and we don't get to eat for free!! Why do they need our money?

Me: Good point!!

Gimme my Bladder Back!!!!

I want my bladder back!!!!!

I know there are just things a mother has to deal with when she is pregnant...but C'MON!!!!!!!

This peeing thing 4-5 times in the middle of the night and about 4-5 times in an hour is just ridiculous!!!! Just when I pee, I have to go again!!! Will it ever end!!! I totally don't mind being pregnant, but the peeing thing is getting out of hand!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Names

Ok, these names aren't as great as the ones Shawnie posted earlier in the day...but here's a few I like.....

1. Reed

2. Brayden

3. Carson

4. Jude


Not sure....I guess I am going to have to see the little guy before we know for sure.....that is unless, there was a mistake the last 3 ultrasounds, and it really could be a girl!!! (probably not :(

Goin' Away!!!

Wow, it has been about a month since my last post!! I keep meaning to post, but I haven't had much time!! I have finals this Thursday and Friday for my 8 week classes.....talk about stress!!

I just can't wait for the weekend...My sister Kathleen and friend Shawnie are going away on a shopping/spa weekend to Woodfield in Shaumburg! (Ree...still time to go!!) I don't think that I was even this excited when I went to Vegas last year!! I think just the idea of relaxing, with no pressure to do anything I don't want to, is enough to make me jump for joy!! I get to sleep in a real bed!!! Whoo hoo! (for those of you who don't know my sleeping arrangements: I have been sleeping on a pancake for the past 8 months!!) I am also gonna pack up some scrap booking supplies so I can work on some things at night!! I just can't wait!! I can honestly say....I am so excited I could just pee my pants ( not out of the ordinary for a prego!)

Well, I'll be sure to post some pics of the weekend!!

Out of Control!!

Ok, Things have been a bit out of control lately. Reece's behavior has been everything but acceptable. I know this is a big part because lately I haven't been sticking to his punishments. This is partly because it has been easier for me not to stick with it while Scott is traveling. So, today, I had it.....I stripped him of all electronics: video games, DS, Game Boy, Playstation 2, Computer...you name it. I stripped him of his livley hood!!! Gotta hit em' where it hurts!! Anyways, after a day of misbehaving at my sisters house while I was in school, he is now at the kitchen table with a notebook and pencil writing: I WILL BEHAVE! He has to write it twenty times before he can get up. He has been sitting there for about 40 minutes now. I have to stick to my guns.....I can't give in this time.

IT'S A .....................................................

BOY! This will make 7 grandsons for my mom!! Reece is soooo excited!!! He is getting his little brother!! The look on his face was priceless!!

What's it Gonna Be Wednesday!!!

So, tomorrow is the big day!!! I can't wait. I hope they are able to tell if the baby is a girl or a boy. Reece will be coming with us, so it should be alot of fun!!! I am looking forward to it!!! (except the whole full bladder thing!!)

Baby Name!!

Last night I was about ready to fall asleep and Reece rushed in all excited:

Reece: Hey Mom!!! I know what we can name the baby!!

Me: Oh yeah, what's that?

Reece: (Proudly) Baby Vader!!


For those of you who don't know Reece, he is really into Star Wars!

Cute, but I think we will still shop around for names!!

A New Love
