Cold sheets

I hate climbing into a bed with cold sheets. If Jonathan and I go to bed at the same time I curl up as close to him as possible so I can steal his warmth. Monday nights I usually go to bed earlier then Jonathan and complain just loud enough for him to hear me.
Well this week as I was whining (just a little) Jonathan went into the bathroom and came out with the hairdryer. Without saying a word he came into the bedroom and unplugged the lamp. By this point I was laughing hard enough to forget about whining. He spent a few minutes trying to plug the hairdryer behind the dresser with no avail. It was okay because by then the sheet were warm.
So he kissed me and told me to have sweet dreams.
I love my hubby and appreciate the little things he does for me =)

Seeing Loco

We had a ultrasound on Monday and boy is it great to see Loco. He is looking good and healthy. Loco is measuring at 25w 3d which is exactly where he should be. Also the estimate he is about 2 lbs. I did get some pictures but I am not sure how to put them up.
I am doing great as well. My headaches are under control now that I have the right medicine. I really don't have any complaints at this point. I do move slower but that means I have more time to stop and smell the roses.
Love to all

Housewife...

I never wanted to be a housewife and thought that if I was a stay at home mom I would kill my children. I despised subdivisions and minivans. I spent the last 5 years proving that I wouldn't be stuck in that mold. I have traveled to 13 different states as well 2 countries. I found new experiences in every place I went. A Broadway show in New York, skydiving in Florida, ate tripe in D.C., and a hand full of other things.
When I met Jonathan things didn't change right away. On our first date I gave him the speech: "I date. I date a lot and if you have a problem with that or jealously I won't date you". I thought I meant that. I sure had said it a lot. We dated and split and dated and I thought we were going to split again. All of this was my fault. He would tell you that he is a commitment phobe but he was committed to me long before I knew what I was getting into. I thank god for that. If he hadn't been that committed to me we wouldn't be here.
Now here we are. I just got up early and put a roast in the crock pot. I put away the dishes and now I am chopping veggies for the breakfast I am going to make when he wakes up. I am still in my jammies, no make up and hair in a pony tail. I love it.
I love knowing that when my husband wakes up everything will be ready for him. I love knowing that as I am standing in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee (decaf) Jonathan will put his arms around me and appreciate that I have everything just as it should be.
I don't know when I made this 180 but it has happened. I want to be a great wife, and a great mother and I want to know that when my husband or kids need me I am there.
Now please don't get me wrong there is still that crazy streak in me. I don't want to be the forgettable next door neighbor with memorable cookies. I will never quite fit the mold. I get claustrophobic when someone tries to make me do something. I guess that is the diffrence this is the first time I WANT to be a housewife and stay at home mom.
So watch out mothers of the year! Here I come with my husband and kids (probably on motorcycles) I may not fit the mold but I will definitely be having fun shaping what I am for my family.
