Thanksgiving

Oh my gosh last week was so busy and now I am so tired! I can't wait to get off work and go home and take a nap. We finally get a vacation and I did not have one day to just lay around and rest.

My busy schedule:

Wednesday: Family dinner and movie in the back yard

Thursday: Thanksgiving dinner and staying up till midnight to start our shopping! :)

Friday: shopping that started at midnight and did not finish till 3:30, short nap, and then dinner at my Aunt's house.

Saturday: Up early to get ready for the Tech game so we were at the cowboys stadium ready to tailgate by 11, game at 5, and didn't leave the parking lot till 10:30.

Sunday: I had my first baby shower at my Aunt's house. Baby Mayah got so many wonderful things. Thanks to all my friends and family that came. I really did have a great time and appreciate all the great gifts!

Today I am back to work and really did not think I was going to make it through the day. My class was working on their journals this morning and I was not sure if I was going to be able to keep my eyes open. Hopefully I will get to bed early and tomorrow we are starting our Christmas around the world unit so was should have fun day! :)

Happy Birthday Mammaw!

This weekend was my grandmother's 75th birthday so we had a surprise birthday at Logan's. She was so upset because she thought we had all forgotten, but the look on her face when she walked in was priceless. I think it made up for her being a little sad that morning! After the party my mom, Micah, and I went shopping to find me something to wear to my baby shower next weekend. I found a cute dress at JcPenney's now I just need to find some leggings to wear underneath.

After today only one more day of school and then on my Thanksgiving break. It really stunk to have to get up this morning and get ready for work while my mom was getting to sleep in since her school got out on Friday. I am looking forward to this week with Thanksgiving, our big and EARLY plans for black Friday, the Tech Baylor game, and then my shower. It is going to be busy and fun!! :)

Oh ya, HOW 'BOUT THEM RAIDERS!!!

MMA Fight!

Micah and I had a great weekend!

On Saturday we got up and went to Jackson's soccer game and then had lunch. After lunch the girls went to a Scentsy party at my aunt's house while the boys and kiddos hung out at our house. It was funny to see how many times the boys house would call the girls for different things. I really do not know how they ever survived without us! :)

When the party was over Deana and I went and got ready to go to a MMA fight with the boys. To tell you the truth I really was not looking that forward to it. Deana and I agreed to go because the boys really wanted to go and one of the guys that Deana works with was fighting. We went to eat at Third Base and then walked over to the Stars Practice Center for the fight. It was really cool when we got there and we had good seats on the floor. Once the fights start I have to admit I really got into. It is completely different then watching the UFC on television.

Although we had a great time at the fights, I am not too sure that Mayah did. Every time that a new fighter walked out and his music started BLARING she would roll into a ball and it would feel like she was trying to escape from my stomach.

Sunday we went to register for Mayah baby gifts at Target and Babies R US. Micah and I found tons of stuff at Babies R Us, but we did not have as much luck at Target. I just did not really like most of the stuff that they had and there selection is just not as big. I hope that I gave everyone enough choices, but we will be happy with anything and everything that we get! :) I can't wait to have my showers they are going to be so fun!

Scare

I had to go to the doctor on Monday to take a Diabetes test. I went in and had to drink some orange drink in five min. and because I was so hungry it was not that hard. I thought they would then take some blood and then I would be done, but to my surprise she told me I had to wait an hour and then she would take my blood. The nurse told me that I could go home if I would like but just make sure I was back in an hour and not to put anything in my mouth. Which of course then you are dying of thirst and hunger. I really did not know how I was going to make it. This was a pregnant woman who now had not had anything to eat for 6 hours. I got home and laid on the couch to watch a little TV before heading back up to the doctor. They took my blood and then told me that they would call if there was anything abnormal, but if I didn't hear anything then it was all good.

Well...Yesterday I looked at my phone after I sent the kids home and I had a message to call the doctor and of course then I start think of anything and everything bad that they could have to say. What was I going to do if they told me I was diabetic and not to eat sugar. Micah would not want to live with me if that happened. So I called them back and they did not answer so I left a message and after waiting an hour I began calling every 15 min. I just could not handle not knowing what they were going to tell me. After the fifth call I finally got to talk to the nurse and thank goodness she told me my glucose level was great and that it was my iron was low do the doctor wanted me to start taking an iron pill.

So to wrap up this long story everything is ok and I just need a little more iron. I do have more energy now that I am taking it. I just thought I was so tired because of the baby!
