35 week checkup
Aug 20Alright. Angela of Radkitten.nu has given me 5 words to blog about BUT today I feel like I have an entry to write and random things are racing through my head. I will get around to it, I swear! Maybe once this whole wedding thing has died down.
So tonight I planned on getting home and relaxing with my half a sub from yesterday’s dinner but that didn’t work out quite so well. I also was craving chocolate so I made up some brownies and threw them in the oven. I grabbed my sub and glass of mountain dew and proceeded to sit down at my desk. Then I realized “Whoops, my cell is in my purse” and I need that in case Randy calls for overtime or whatnot. Wearing headphones I reach down to grab it and that full glass of ice cold mountain dew goes allllllllll over. Thankfully the direction it went was the opposite of my tower. I still had to remove everything off of my desk and make sure my mouse and keyboard were safe along with the digital camera. Once I dried crap off I realized that I too was soaked and needed to dry. I was sticky too so to the shower I went. I came back and scrubbed the desk off with some 409 to avoid stickiness for the next few months. I also tidied up a bit since Randy is SO FREAKIN’ MESSY and got comfy on my couch now that I think I have everything I need for the evening. My desk is slid to the couch because it’s easier for me to keep my feet elevated and the fan blows directly on me and I’m always hot.
Speaking of elevated feet I had my 35 week doctor appointment today. Now I go to weekly appointments. That’s scary. By my calculations of Sept 22nd as a due date I’m 35W1D but he said I was 35W3D so he either goofed or I’m 2 days ahead. *shrug* Whatever. She’ll come when she comes. I have to get blood work for HIV testing (which I just did at 16 weeks but apparently the state has another mandatory one at 36 weeks. Whatev) Her fluid is good and her heart rate was 124bpm. I’m going to get another belly shot soon to post. Otherwise everything is fine. I’ve been getting slight cramping and extremely sharp pains when moving in certain ways. I also can’t lie on my back. It’s incredibly uncomfortable.
I managed to get the wedding playlist complete with Randy and our friend Melissa’s help last night. We have 4 hours worth of music of all varieties. Tomorrow Randy and I are going to mom’s to finalize everything and I’m going to bring stuff over to her house so we can have it all in 1 place. (And we need to do laundry). Colby is also getting his rabies shot tomorrow afternoon. Then we’re scheduling him to get neutered sometime soon.
I’m going to curl up in the corner of the couch now with my wireless keyboard, headphones, and so some voice transcribing to earn my goal of $15/day to cover the rent. Randy is up to 45 hours this week and if he gets OT today he’ll be up to 49 which is always nice but it gets lonely. Such is life.
Wedding playlist
Aug 18I’m getting married in 4 days (now that it’s officially Tuesday). That’s a scary thought. The judge called this morning to confirm the time/place and we’re tying up loose ends right now. One thing I mentioned is that the music we’re all doing ourselves. We’ve got the 3 songs picked for the mother/son, father/daughter, and couples and then we’re setting up a playlist with a bunch of other songs on it of different genres from country to rock to hip hop for the rest of the time. I want your opinions on songs. If you were making a listing of songs for your wedding what are 1 (or more) you think would be definites on your “must play” list? I’m trying to make it into a 5-6 hour play list since we have no idea how long we’ll be there and it starts at 2pm. Hit me with any and all suggestions.
And for kicks here is a picture of our cake topper I snapped earlier
Getting married in 9 days
Aug 13Yep, you read it right. My wedding is in 9 days and since it’s getting late we’re almost to 8. That’s a scary thought when combined with how much we still have left to do. So far we have
- Got all the clothing for the groom/groomsmen/best man
- Got my dress/bridesmaids/MoH
- Ordered the cake
- Hired the judge
- Purchased a marriage license
- Booked the park pavilion where we’re getting married
- Invited everyone and expecting 50-60 as a turnout
Mom and I are supposed to get together tomorrow to get a tiara and garter for me, pick up flowers for the bouquet, do some more of the food shopping (Most of my family is bringing a dish to pass but there are gaps to fill in), and get a few more decorations. For pictures we have plenty of friends/family and digital cameras and for music Randy has a nice sound system on his computer so that’s getting brought along and we’re throwing on a play list of songs we’ve made for the reception. We are dancing to Avril Lavigne’s “Keep Holding On” because with everything we’ve been through there is no other song that fits more perfectly. We’re not honeymooning due to him just starting a job and working 6 days a week and because we can’t leave the state anyways.
Then I’m due a month from the date of the wedding. Exciting!
