Jazz Game

So just for fun Russ and I went to a Jazz game on Thursday night. It was such a fun night out! We sat up in the nose bleed section but I loved every minute all the same. So did Ava, either that or she hated it. She was kicking and moving around like there was a one woman circus going on inside my belly. Haha it was great! I guess all the noise keep her wide awake and alert.

Russell loves to put his hand on my belly whenever she is moving around, our little baby girl!! We can't wait to meet her. I can hardly believe how close we are getting to the end. She will probably be born next month! I only have a month or so left. As of late, I've been so overcome with tons of mixed emotions. I'm more anxious and excited then ever to finally be a mommy and have my own little baby girl to love, dress up and play with. But at the same time I'm petrified to go through the labor and pain of it all. Is that wimpy of me to admit? I have been obsessed with hearing the birth stories of every one I know and what they went through for their babies. I have no idea what's in store for me. I guess only time will tell.

Twilight and the Holiday

So after all the hype and hearing about nothing but twilight for months I finally read the book. And I LOVED it. Seriously it was so great. This Thanksgiving weekend most of my family headed to Nebraska to spend the holiday with my oldest Sister Nikki and her 2 boys. I didn’t think Russ and I would be going because it would be uncomfortable to travel being as pregnant as I am to endure the 8 hours in the car to get there. But at the last minute Russell had to do a dealer trade for work, which means he had to drive a SUV out to Missouri . So we decided to head to Nebraska for Thanksgiving after all. We left Wednesday night after work and arrived in Kimball , NE around 3:30am. We really enjoyed spending Thanksgiving day will Nikki’s family, my brother Brett and his family and my parents. The food was great and my favorite was my mom’s caramel pumpkin pie! It was so incredibly Delicious! Yummy yummy. Then Friday Russell left to finish the rest of the drive to Missouri to drop off the truck. I stayed with my family instead of continuing on with him. I felt bad leaving him to drive alone but I didn’t think I could handle the rest of the 12 hours to get there and the 12 hours to get back to my sisters. He did that in only 2 days. He arrived back at my sisters on Saturday night. So while he was gone, Nikki and I got to talking about Twilight. She had the book and challenged me to read just a couple chapters to see if I liked it. Well I did and had finished the whole book before Russ got back on Saturday. It only took me about a night and a day to read it. Wow, I was hooked!! I bought the second book New Moon on our drive home and started on that one. I am so anxious to see the Twilight movie now! So I told Russ he has to take me. And he said he will. I don’t think he realizes how girly it probably is but he’s a good sport when it comes to movies. He’ll watch just about anything with me. That is with one EXCEPTION, he won’t watch musicals- High school musical especially he just can’t sit through something like that.
