I had an AMAZING weekend with my husband!! On Saturday we went to Dave and Busters and ate lunch there. After we went and played games in their arcade. Eric and I enjoy being silly so this was a lot of fun for us! Eric tried bumping one of the machines to make more coins drop so we would get more tickets and the machine started siring and saying please don't cheat.... it was too funny. We ended up getting candy with our tickets to take to the movies! We went and saw Here Comes the Boom. It was a REALLY

Good movie!! Even better than the previews made it out to be. After the movies we headed to target to finish getting some of the stuff I will need for when little miss Audrey arrives. So I had made a list for what I needed and my husband likes to ask people where stuff is so we aren't wondering around everywhere and he likes to embarrass me. Well one of the items on my list was pads due to bleeding after pregnancy and Eric has no idea what the items are so he is asking people where to find them and I am about to die laughing.... I just love my husband! He is so not shy and he makes me giggle. Yesterday was football day for him. So we stayed in relaxed. Took a walk and got a slushie. I have been having a LOT of braxton hicks contractions lately. Today we are going to Tripler to take a labor and delivery tour and tomorrow is my 36 week appointment... I cant believe how close this is all getting.... its so surreal!!!

Lock my kid up?!

So last night I am laying in bed NOT sleeping ;) and I come across a news article that says don't let living on a military instillation give you a false sense of protection.... hmm well that peeks my interest.

There has been a lot of break ins and thefts into vehicles lately as well as sexual assaults here on this island bases'. I am so paranoid that I leave all porch lights on and I recheck the locks before going to bed. I will admit I feel much safer here than back home in Lansing but I am starting to learn there is no completely "safe" place.

Then I get on my friends Facebook to see another article posted last night

http://okinawa.stripes.com/news/us-troops-japan-hit-curfew-after-alleged-rape-okinawa

This one talks about two American sailors raping a Japanese girl.What is this world coming to!?! Two citizens that should be protecting the world are terrorizing it. All these news articles lately and the political debates make me want to take my family and go hide in a cave. You cant even go to the movies now without thoughts someone has a gun and wants to shoot up the theater. I swear I am not letting Audrey out of my site!!

My rant is now done ;)

So again I did not sleep. I went out to the recliners in the living room and gave that a try last night.... did not work. I hope I can get some sleep soon otherwise I know that I am going to end up sick from lack of sleep as I always do. I am 35 weeks today. 2 more weeks and I am to term and can safely have Audrey and the doctors wont stop it. Eric is dying for me to have her lol. I keep telling him she needs to stay in couple more weeks.

Today I think Eric and I are going to go to the movies and see Here Comes the Boom. He think it looks funny and we wont have many movie nights soon <3

19. If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?

Tennessee... I have always wanted to live in Tennessee. It is absolutely beautiful. I love the mountains. The people are soo nice. I wouldn't be too far from home.... just thinking about living there makes my heart happy lol

Insomnia

So I have not been sleeping well lately. I figured that was bound to happen soon enough being I only have 35 more days till my due date! Last night I was up till about 3 and finally fell asleep. I woke up at 4 to go the bathroom (of course!!) I had a dream I was eating McDonald's french fries. I was STARVING when I woke up and of course all I wanted was those darn fries.... dang pregnancy dreams!! I have also had the joys of being constipated last couple days which is odd for me. I have IBS and normally going the bathroom is all I do!! I am not sure which one I prefer lol.

I have my 36 week doctors appointment next week. They check my cervix and make sure that Audrey is head down. I am hoping that I am not dilated at all as Eric has 2 weeks of training days after that appointment. I am lucky though he is staying on this island and if I did go in labor he should be able to make it in time ;)

This past weekend Eric and I stayed super busy. On Friday we went out to dinner at Buca Di Peppo with our friends Kat and Eric. Its a family style Italian restaurant. It was super good! They take you through the kitchen and give you a little tour of the place when you first walk in. Then we went back to their house to watch a movie we rented. Everyone ended up chatting and we didn't end up watching it because it was almost midnight and this momma was tired!! Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch to take photos and look around. It is definitely no Uncle Johns :( It made me miss home a little bit... I wanted a doughnut and some cider lol That night I did another photo shoot of a little girl and mermaid outfit. We got lucky and there was turtles on the beach which made for some neat pictures!! That night we went over to Eric's friends house to celebrate a friends birthday.
Eric and I played beer pong together and ran the table... he of course drank the beer lol. I figured it would be a long time till we went to a party again so we hung out and had fun. Sunday was football so we watched that all day and got groceries in between ;) We eneded up going back to my friends house to finish the movie we were supposed to watch Friday!

I think this weekend we are going to go put putting or maybe bowling. Eric thinks I am crazy but I want to get in as much me and him time just having fun as we can before Audrey comes and our whole world changes. I know he is more than excited for her but I don't think he realizes how much she will change our lives... guess he shall see soon ;)

15. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

Turning my brain off!!

Exhaustion

Seems I haven't posted on my blog in FAR too long... I feel like there is not enough time in the day lately :( I can not believe that I am due in six short weeks. Its starting to make me feel a little nervous but I am beyond excited. We had family and friends visit in last month which was super nice but I am ready to just get back into Eric and I's routine and back to our little family <3 I just finished my accounting class which feels great to get it out of the way before our little Audrey gets here! We had her baby shower which went great! I felt so blessed to get everything we did and it helped us tremendously. After the shower we went and finished getting everything else we needed for her. Her diaper bag is now packed and ready to go!! I did ALL of her laundry so everything is washed and put away. I also hung all the clothes up in order of size that way she will wear them all and I wont miss an outfit.... could also be I have OCD ;)

Audrey's room is done and I love it!!! With one class down and us ready for Audrey I am starting to feel less stressed and more ready!!! I must admit I am scared to death to deliver but I know it will be worth it! I can not wait to see her face looking up at me <3
