Things that you should NEVER say to a pregnant lady....

Since this blog is titled oops, what is more appropriate to talk about other than an "Oops" moment....

Lately, there have been a lot of Oops moments going on around me. Specifically, people saying things that they just shouldn't say. More specifically things that people should never say to a VERY HORMONAL and VERY EMOTIONAL pregnant lady....

1) Wow, you look huge.

2) Omg, I saw your picture, you have gotten so big!

3) I was your size... When I was 9 months pregnant

4) When are you due? It looks like you are about to bust

5) Are you having twins?

Just a warning, if you see me, and feel the need to say one of these things, it is in your best interest to keep your mouth shut. First of all it is extremely rude and insensitive. Second of all, I am growing a baby! I'm supposed to be huge! I'm pretty sure that just means Madeline is healthy, and if I have to put on a TON of weight in order for her to be healthy, that is just fine with me. However I don't need a reminder from you. My pants remind me every morning that I am big, and that is all the reminding that I need.

Although I must admit, it is comical how emotional I can be sometimes (all the time). I was having the worst day every yesterday and I hadn't even gotten on campus yet... To put icing on the cake, I got to campus and was walking up the stairs. When I got to the top of the stairs I saw my friend. He just looked at me and made a comment about my large size. I feel really bad for the next part, because I probably gave him the most hateful look he has ever seen, and started bawling my pregnant little eyes out. Talk about embarrassing... These hormones are out of control. Michael is a saint for putting up with me. 

On the bright side, I am in my THIRD and FINAL trimester, and it feels like such a short time before we get to meet this little disco dancer that has been hanging out in my womb for the past several months. I think it goes without saying that we can't wait! Hopefully these next weeks fly by!

In the Middle

About time I updated this thing....
I know, I have really been slacking on the whole blogging thing, but in my defense I have been extremely busy, with life. All I do is go to school, study, eat, and sleep. What would I like to do? Go to school, occasionally study, and frequently come home and down Margaritas! Now that would be the life! I really haven't had anything to write about except Organic Chemistry and Genetics... neither of which would be interesting to you, I assume.

Mike and I have been living a VERY exciting life. In the past month we have gone to a crafts festival, gone for walks in the park, registered for baby stuff, put together all of Madeline's furniture for her room, and consistently gone to bed (no later than) 10:30.... Ha, one night I was passed out by 8:30. I always imagined I would be going to bed at 8:30 when I was the ripe age of 21. Yeah, maybe 8:30 a.m.

So proud of him for putting it all together! Stud!

You know how I know we are lame? We are way to excited about putting together Madeline's room. Today we got a package from my Grandma and Cousin, it was of the bedding from Pottery Barn Kids that I have been dying for, and it made our entire week! It was extremely sweet and thoughtful, so I just wanted to give a shout out if they are reading this!

Here is a sneak peak at the nursery (which is nowhere near finished):

& A VERY special thanks to my wonderful sister for making this quilt which we love!

On a side note:
Has anyone watched the television show "The Middle"?! It's about a pretty strange lower middle class family... The strangest character of them all is Sue Heck, by far. She is the daughter and she is pretty much bad at anything and everything, extremely awkward, and just odd. Why am I telling you this? Because Mike has convinced me is that Madeline is going to turn out to be a "Sue Heck"... this terrifies me, and when I say terrify, I mean I can't handle 2 of Mike! That's not even the worst part, the worst part is that Mike is excited about her turning out like that. If she turns out like "Sue Heck" I will blame Mikes genetic material... forever.

It scares me to think that THIS could be inside of this:

Yes, I am aware, I am getting HUGE. But that's okay because if i'm growing, she is growing... which is really exciting, because the more she grows, the more I can feel her kick, and Mike and I love feeling her kicks! They are so powerful, and she moves a lot. But we honestly fall in love a little more with every kick!

"Semen is like acid!"

"Semen is like acid...and the only way for it not to be, is if you get married"

Now I'm sure anyone reading this is thinking "What in the hell?! Where did she learn sex ed?"... well that little bit of sex ed, is what Michael has decided he is going to tell Madeline when it comes time for the sex talk. If you ask me, that sounds a little like the pot calling the kettle black. I think it is safe to say that I will be in charge of that dreadful talk, which won't happen until many years from now. I almost died from laughing so hard when Michael told me this. In a way it is obvious that he is totally unprepared for fatherhood, on the other hand, it sounds like a typical Dad thing to so. This poor girl has no clue what is in store for her....

On a different note, we went shopping this weekend, and happened to hit up a carters store. It had some of the most adorable little baby clothes. If you don't believe me, then just ask Mike. While shopping in Carters, we wandered away from each other... when he came over to find me he just wanted to let me know "that there was a really cute outfit on the other side of the store, you might want to take a look at it". So he took me over to see it. That was when he pulled out the most girly outfit in the whole store, and said look "It has a little bear hat, and a matching blanket, and the outfit even has a little pink bear on it". I just kind of looked at him, and said "you want this?" He bashfully shook his head yes. Enough said, we bought it. It was just so funny though, because Mike clearly wanted it, he was just embarrassed to admit that he liked something so girly. It's cute to see him getting so excited.
So here is the picture famous outfit (with the matching bear hat)

I just thought I would share those two things. Hopefully they make you laugh as much as they made me laugh...

Hide and Seek

I honestly don't know where to start with this post, I don't even have anything that I really wan't to talk about. I guess I could start with the fact that Monday was my 21st Birthday! Ha... I have to admit, it was not quite what I had in mind for my 21st. I kind of imagined it would be a combination between Katy Perry's "Friday Night" and a night in the life of Ke$ha. Oh BOY! Was I wrong. Sobriety was the last thing I had planned...correction: having a little baby growing inside of me was REALLY the last thing I imagined. All I can say is that on Madeline's 21st birthday, she is going to be sitting at home (sober) watching Michael and I take multiple bear fights while Golden Girls is playing on the TV. Payback really is a bitch. 

Okay, with all joking aside, Madeline must have known that it was my birthday because for the first time EVER, Michael actually felt her move! It was really exciting!!

Last night Mike and I decided to get our feet wet in the whole child care thing... so we baby sat our neighbors little girl. Let's just say that Michael is NOT cut out for a little girl. Poor Michael had to give up playing HALO to let her watch a princess movie (i know what you guys are thinking, "wow hell must have froze over", but it didn't, I think we are on to something) On a more positive side, we did have a blast playing hide and seek. A lot more fun than any adult should openly admit..

I posted another picture. I know, I look like I am 9 months in this picture, but don't worry I'm only 23 weeks! I can't imagine what im going to look like when it's finally time to have her. On a side note, Mike and I discovered a really disturbing thing about my stomach.... If we push on it, I have an outtie... maybe that's what I will have a picture of in my next blog.

Bump?!

So everyone has been asking for pictures of the "bump"... and all I can think is, "what in the hell is this bump people keep talking about?!" Because what I have is a lot more than a bump. That's like trying to say you are just going for a hike, but really you are going to climb Mt. Everest. OR maybe I just feel that way?

So here it is....

Oh, my bad, that is actually a picture of a beached whale... Lately I can't tell the difference. We will leave the picture up anyways, for the sake of comparing. I think the main reason why I feel this way is because my oh so loving husband likes to remind me every chance he gets. He takes every opportunity to remind me that I am FAT and pregnant, but that's okay. I will let him be mean, because in a few more weeks, he is going to be the one shaving my legs! 

 Mike has really been encouraging me to take pictures of my growing belly so that we can show Madeline one day. I have to give him props though, because getting me to pose for a glamour shot has been about as difficult as pulling teethe. I think the funniest part about the whole picture thing, is that we have probably taken about 50. I make him delete every single picture because I look "fat". So I have finally accepted it, it's not the camera that is making me look fat... it is Madeline. So without further delay, here are the real belly pictures:

This is me at 22 weeks.... I couldn't tell you what's going on in the second picture, but I look good...

So that's what Oops really means?!

So, being that the title of our blog is "Oops", Mike and I decided to google the word oops.... of course of all things that could pop up, this was the first thing:
(From Urban Dictionary)

1.	oops	509 up, 147 down
	(v) to engage in sexual intercourse with the intent, unbeknownst to the partner, of causing a pregnancy. This word is used specifically in instances where one partner believes that birth control is intact or being used, while the other has damaged/removed birth control without the knowledge or consent of the first partner, for an ulterior motive such as forcing the partner into a shotgun wedding situation as a means of securing the partner as a mate, or producing a child that the partner does not yet/ever want.

I think it goes without saying, that we found this hilarious, and extremely fitting. I took the liberty of highlighting a few key terms.... We couldn't think of a better way to start our blog. I guess we finally decided to start a blog because of all of the people telling us how much we need to, or how important it is for Madeline to see this when she gets older.... although I'm not sure that words out of my mouth will be entirely appropriate for our little girl. We are hoping she turns out better than us... With all joking aside, our situation didn't happen in the most ideal way, but we couldn't be happier and we are SO excited for Madeline to make her debut into the family. I guess this blog will give me something to do while we oh so impatiently await her company... and hopefully some people get a few laughs along the way!
