Hurry up and wait

Well, I am still waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I don't think this kid is going to make his appearance until January, but I suppose he could surprise us all. All my preggo pics are on my mom's computer, since she is the one that takes them. Raymond and I haven't been very good at capturing my belly moments. We did buy a new video camera, so we will be sure to post some pictures and video when the b-day comes. Until then, we will just continue to sit and wait.
I am expecting my birthday/Christmas gift today though (yeah, a few days late) from UPS. Raymond got me a Cricut machine. For those of you who don't know about the Cricut, it is a machine that cuts out letters, templates, and all sorts of designs for scrapbooking, cardmaking, and those cool wall sticker things. So, I guess I get some kind of delivery today!

Still pregnant.....

Well, with one week and one day left to go, I am still baking this kid in my belly. Went to the doctor this morning, and I am dilated a little over 1 and still about 70% effaced. Will this kid make his appearance in 2008 or will it be a 2009 baby? I need to take some pictures......I know, I know, I know. So as of now, we are just waiting, and the waiting is really not fun.

7 Random Things About Vanny

I got tagged by Shayla, so here are my random things......

1. I choked on a Gobstopper, on the school bus, and was saved by Shayla. I have NEVER had a Gobstopper since. I was in elementary school, but can't remember what grade.

2. I lied to a cop about my age, got caught when he asked for my ID. Whoops!

3. I can bend my thumb backwards so it lays on top of my hand.

4. I have a fear of dark basements.

5. I played a private detective at the Skinner house with Chelsie, Shayla, Odie and Darren. We chased a mysterious driver around the neighborhood.....that was so dumb.

6. I was mooned by my old neighbor that lived behind me.

7. I fell out of a moving car when I was 6 and ended up with a black/red/bloody eye. I was so excited to go play with my friend, I didn't wait for the car to stop.

That was hard.

Baby Shower

Baby Shower, this Saturday, 2pm. This is for you, Shayla. It's a virtual invitation! Baby Shower for Baby Boy Dondlinger, be there, or be square.

My dog, the pig!

Here is our dog, Daisy. She wants whatever we eat and then some! She is quite the begger and because she is cute, she usually gets a bite of whatever is on our plates! So, we found the pig costume to be quite fitting as her Halloween costume this year. (Yes, we dress our pet)

More Belly

These pictures all range from early August, to just a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember how far along I am in each of the pics. There is a belly with a baby inside, good enough.

Crazy Dreams

I had a dream last night, that Shayla and I decided to rob a random house because we wanted a flat screen t.v. While we were in the process, the people came home, so Shayla came up with the idea of kidnapping one of the kids. She told me it would all be a joke because she really knew the people we were trying to rob. I told her I couldn't because I would lose my job as a teacher because they frown on those sorts of things. Then, we decided we needed to go to Star Lumber to get some connectors that they use for PVC pipe. Then, the cops showed up at our house (who's house, I don't know, just a random one) and told us to give the kid back and get rid of the PVC pipe connectors. That's all I remember of the dream. It was very random.
Pregnancy dreams.........are whack! What kind of influence are you, Shayla? HA! HA!

Short Update

We've been waaaayy busy these days! Raymond and I bought a new house, and are hoping to be in it around the 14th of October. I am still coaching cheerleading, which is keeping me really busy, and I continue to grow in the belly and I am gaining weight!
I went to the doctor on Tuesday, and gained 9 pounds in one month! Wahoo! I guess I'd better watch what I eat, instead of watching it go into my mouth. One too many ice cream cones.

And the Sonogram Says...............

Click on the pictures to get a closer look!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, my own prediction was correct (for once, and finally). I think I guessed wrong on the last few babies, although, I did guess Max correctly!

Here are a few pictures! There is definately a turtle head no hamburger buns.

The Belly

These pictures show me at almost 21 weeks. Tomorrow we will know....PINK OR BLUE!!!

I am still pretty small, as everyone likes to point that out to me on a daily basis. The doctor said I am measuring right on track and that I am lucky to be tall, because tall women usually have easy deliveries and pregnancies, and have more room for the belly to spread out. Yeah, we'll see about that. I think she was just trying to comfort me. No more sickness, hasn't been for quite sometime. I don't mind being preggo too much, I can't say it's my favorite thing though. January 1 can't come fast enough, I am ready to post baby pictures, and wear regular clothes!! Yes, those are maternity clothes for those of you thinking and saying...geeze, she's so small, she doesn't need maternity clothes (yeah, I hear that daily too).
