Our New Little Addition to the Family

J and I would like to announce that we are going to be welcoming a new little baby into our home.

What?! ...NO!! I am NOT pregnant... You CRAZY??? :o)

This is whom I am referring to.



Isn't she ADORABLE!!!! *SQUEEEEL* After wanting one for MANY, MANY years, I am finally getting my PUG! I saw her on a friend's FB page and J said I could have her if I wanted her. S.P.O.I.L.E.D. Yep, I sure am. ;)

We are going to pick her up a week from Saturday and I couldn't be more excited!!! I'm trying to decide on a name. Actually, I'm driving poor J insane with the name discussion - you would think we were picking out names for one of our own children. Here are some of my favorites:

*Gemma (we are big Sons of Anarchy fans, this is also J's favorite)
*Darla (Little Rascals)
*Bella (Although WAY over done)
*Buttercup (Princess Bride)
*Peaches (Inside Joke from VDay weekend)
*Sushi (We LOVE our SUSHI)
*Lulu (nickname from HS)
*Ping Pong (LOL - j/k although this WAS a suggestion on one of the websites)
*Gucci
*Guinevere (and call her Gwenie)

Nothing is really super 100% jumping out at me though. I do like Gemma and it does have meaning to both of us but I'm not completely sold on it either.

"I know! Isn't she adorable?? Her name is Gemma."

See? Doesn't quite give that wow-you're-the-coolest-person-ever-for-picking-that-clever-awesome-dog-name reaction. (I'm so self-involved you know, its all in how it makes ME look, not if it fits the dog's personality??! Gaw.)

Opinions, anyone?

I'm not sure how you pronounce the first name?

I like Darla.

(I think pugs have weird bug eyes... don't hate me)

Copy Cat

I'm contemplating doing a Project 365 blog... Such a cool idea and I think it would be fun to look back and see how my year was in pictures :) And, yes, I'm copying off my sister's 365 blog . Opinions?

Almost Fainted Yesterday - Not. Cool.

Yesterday late morning I was sitting at my desk and I felt...funny. Then the "funny" feeling turned into ears ringing, hot flash, seeing stars, light- headedness . Scared the poo out of me. So I sat at my desk for a good 2 to 3 minutes with my head between my knees - or atleast as close to my knees as I can get right now - trying not to panic and make it worse. I never actually passed out/fainted but got pretty close. The thing that scared me the most though was that NO ONE AROUND ME NOTICED! Not that I wanted all kinds of people flocking over to me to see if I was ok , but would have felt a little better if one person would've atleast thrown me an "are you alright?". I hope I never go into labor at work, good grief. I'll be driving myself to the hospital and two hours later people will be going "Where's D?" That diva moment aside, I finally felt ok to stand up and walk to the breakroom to get a glass of water and then asked my boss to go d...

[Im]Patiently Waiting for Baby Allen - 4 weeks to go!

I started out this pregnancy looking like this: And here I am at [almost] 36 weeks: Holy crap, I sure hope that tiny tummy comes back to me after this baby is born...and I lose a couple chins...and a couple pounds off the cheeks, both sets. I think I'll leave my hair long though. Not cute in that first picture. Anywhozit - 4 weeks to go!! Yay, I'm so excited. I had my doc appt and BPP yesterday. Baby didn't want to do his breaths at the BPP so we had to do an NST (Non-Stress Test). Basically, I sat in a big comfy recliner while they hooked the monitors up to my belly and recorded his heartbeat/movements and my contractions. I dozed off a couple times while I was sitting there listening to his heartbeat beep...it was rough. He passed the NST with flying colors - Dr even told me they could use my print out for textbooks because my results were EXACTLY what they should look like. (My child's perfect already - jealous?!) Next week is his growth scan [possibly his last one] ...
