So I NEVER said that I was good at this blogging thing. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've always sucked at keeping this kind of thing updated. Much has gone to the wayside, much like my poor poor Livejournal in days of old. :( But here I am trying to redeem myself and trying to cram as much baby stuff into this update as I can!!
First off since the last posting I have now turned 25 years old. Ooooh, scary I know. Jake came home from work that day with flowers, bath salts, and a little stuffed Mochi (Samoyed). And since it's been like YEARS (minus when Thrads sent me some) since I got flowers from a significant other it was like... wow. We then went to Cattleman's (a FABULOUS local steakhouse) and then to the movies to see The Proposal. Over all the best birthday I've had in years by far. And later I got a package from my parents with my new T-Mobile phone in it that I got as a present. They were switching over to T-Mobile from Spirit anyways... but my plan still had until the end of the year on it before I could switch. Instead they just got me a new phone on their new plan and Jake has my old number now so he'll have that incase of a baby emergency. At least until that plan ends in December and then they'll put him on our family plan. :D
But the baby stuff is even more fun!
So on June 29th we went in again, hoping to find out the gender of our little one. Needless to say this baby is probably going to be as much, if not more, stubborn than both Jake and I. Not a good attribute for a child this early! It decided it needed to get all curled up and not show us if it was a boy or a girl. My bladder was pretty full, but not as full as it could have been to try and get the baby all crammed into one spot. Haha. The doctor said she THOUGHT it was a boy but it would also not hold still enough to get a good finalized look at it's gender. So Baby Schweigert is still genderless. We're pretty convinced my amniotic fluid is made up entirely of caffeine and the sperm that made it was comprised of Red Bull. It moves around SO MUCH. It has also started to let me know when I'm doing something it doesn't agree with. More on that below.
But at least we finally picked out a theme for the baby room that is gender friendly! We decided on a Winnie the Pooh theme. Mostly cause all we have here is a Walmart and the theme of Pooh they have there is really cute. A light green and creme color'd theme. Baby has also finally decided to not only move (back in June) but it also is now in full kicking mode (late July/early August). It's favorite target is Mommy's bladder. Such a kind and loving child. However it is really really fun to be able to share these movements with Jake now. When I feel the little one starting to make a fuss inside I grab his hand and put it on my tummy. He's totally being a guy about it... but I can tell that he's excited every time he gets to feel the baby move. It's scary but we're taking it one day at a time and as we get closer to the due date it is a little more scary and real every day, but we also know in the end it's going to be so totally worth it.
On the gamer side of things...
We were playing WoW religiously and then Jake mostly got burned out on the leveling and the grinding (and my not catching up :p). So we decided to take a break and play Age of Conan for a while. It was a nice break, but now we're back on WoW again and I'm STILL trying to catch back up to him. One of these days I might be as into games as he is... but not anytime soon. Not with the bebe so close!
I think that's about it updating my life wise. I've finally got my art groove back and I have been posting new art up on my deviant art account. Also on that note I've started up Blessed again with the old Studio Eternity group. It's a nice fun thing for us all to do again together and I really hope we can get it back up off the ground. =D
