Survey: 2010 In Review

This I'm stealing this from my friend...she's done it several years in a row so I'm going to join in this year. Kind of sums up the past year and lets you see, overall, how great (or not so great) it was. Goodbye 2010! You've been great (for the most part) and I KNOW I'll never forget a single minute...

1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before? Got pregnant (and all the fun new first that go with that), swam in the ocean, became a step-mom
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don't think I kept my resolution from last year but I don't remember exactly what it was either. This year my new year's resolution is to become a MILF - Hahaha!!
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Yep, my sister-in-law had my newest little nephew, and one of my very best friends had her little boy both in November.
4. Did anyone close to you die? Thank goodness, no.
5. What countries did you visit? Got close to Mexico but didn't visit any other countries.
6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010? My baby boy to finally be here, an "adult" float trip/mini-vacation this summer, a beach body!
7. What dates from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? February 14th - wonderful Valentine's Day and I got a dozen peaches - LOL, May 24th - day I found out I was pregnant, June 11th - first time I heard my baby's heartbeat, June 20th - day Jason proposed, July 17th - day I married my best friend, August 16th - bad day, don't want to remember but always will, October 2nd - my little brother got married
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Growing a human life - doesn't get much bigger than that!
9. What was your biggest failure? Letting someone I love more than anything in the world feel insecure and unsure of how I felt about them
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Fortunately, No! :) Not sure I even went to the doctor other than for prenatal stuff. Did have a stint of poison ivy at our house but that's about it.
11. What was the best thing you bought? Baby crib and the awesome baby bedding I wanted
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? My friend Lindsey - she's been an amazing friend this year, always there for me and when my sister couldn't be there to stand beside me at my wedding, she made sure she could be there so she could stand in her place. :)
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Someone whom I thought was my friend, whom Jason and I had spent a lot of time with. Sad when you find out the reason someone's being so nice is because they want something of yours or that they feel guilty.
14. Where did most of your money go? Kyoto...WAY TOO MUCH Sushi! HAHA
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Becoming a mom and marrying Jason
16. What song will always remind you of 2010? Stuck Like Glue - Sugarland and If He's Anything Like Me - Brad Paisley
17. Compared to this time last year are you: a) happier or sadder? b) thinner or fatter? c) richer or poorer? Not sadder but I was pretty darned happy last year so its hard to say I'm happier. Definitely FATTER, but I'm blaming it ALL on the little man :). And actually richer, Jason has a better clientele than last year and we are actually able to save some money...too bad that's about to change in a couple weeks.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Wish I would have been more productive and been less lazy - that will probably always be a wish of mine HAHA And I wish I could have/would have enjoyed this pregnancy more.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Being insecure.
20. How did you spend Christmas? Jason and I opened our gifts to each other on Tuesday night the 21st, went to my parents on Friday (24th) and had Christmas with our whole fam, hung out with my parents Saturday and went to the movies and ate chinese food, then had Christmas with Jake on the following Wednesday the 29th.
21. Did you fall in love in 2010? Fell MORE in love and found out a new love (although I haven't officially met him yet)
22. What was your favorite TV program? Sons of Anarchy and Biggest Loser
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? I don't hate anyone, but there's a new person on my "very seriously dislike" list that wasn't on there before.
24. What was the best book you read? My MacKayla Lane novels my hubby got me for Christmas, I'm already on the last one!
25. What was your greatest musical discovery? Karaoke at The Red Balloon :)
26. What did you want and get? My baby duh :)
27. What did you want and not get? World peace and a million dollars...oh well there's always this year LOL
28. What was your favorite film of this year? Love and Other Drugs
29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? Had a white trash bash and found out I was knocked up - HAHAHAHA....no seriously.
30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? There's only one thing that would have made it more satisfying and that was beyond my control - other than the one thing, I don't think someone could have a more satisfying year :)
31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2010? Maternity clothes: lots of dresses, leggings, boots, and changing my hair do a TON this year.
32. What kept you sane? God - there's no other explanation, I don't know how I'm sane at the moment other than God.
33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Anne Hathaway
34. What political issue stirred you the most? Health Care Reform obviously...who didn't it "stir"

[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] ...

29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks exactly. I'm at +24 lbs which is a little higher than I would like, but after a week of crappy eating on vacation, I won't complain too much. My blood pressure is good and just got word that I passed my glucose test. Yay! My emotions get the better of me a lot this pregnancy, but I don't know if its all pregnancy related or if some of it is just me trying to work through a lot of emotional issues - either way, trying to hold it together some days has been rough. I just wish I was able to enjoy being pregnant...but alas, its just not meant to be. Trying to enjoy it as much as possible, all the little kicks and wiggles and special time with Beckett. Also, trying very hard to stay focused on eating healthy and walking as much as I can, although, I can't walk far anymore without the belly cramping. Still trying to keep from gaining that 50 lbs like I did last time ;) Beckett is extremely active, and according to the baby center emails I get, he...

Romping In The Bluebonnets

This weekend was our weekend in Texas for J's buddy's wedding. So, J, j, Gemma and myself all loaded up, and we drove down Thursday night (overnight) to BCS to spend some time with J's family too. I, of course, have never been down to Texas in the spring, but the wildflowers are GORGEOUS, especially the bluebonnets. It just looks like they exploded all over the country side! They were everywhere. J's mom wanted us all to take some pictures in the bluebonnets so we drove out to the side of a road in the middle of wherever and took some pics. They turned out great. It was quite entertaining to get the kiddos (J's nieces were there too) to cooperate and the puppy, not to mention J's mom losing her balance to kneel down with her grandbabies . And she had to wrangle all three kids and a puppy to take J & I's pic together...God bless her. It was NOT easy. Ha! The most adorable picture of them all was of my little baby girl: How precious is this picture?...
