Locked Out

So I had a little excitement last night... Our friend Shelby came over for dinner & when she was ready to go I decided to take Angie out for a little potty break. Well Shelby was the last one out the door & unaware of the fact that we always keep the door knob locked she shut the door. OOPS. So I was in a state of shock for a bit seeing as Luke was not only gone for 1 whole week but he was 9 hours away:) So we checked a window... locked. We tried the ol' credit card in door jam trick -does NOT work in real life people! So I decide to go get our neighbors Buck & Cathy too see if they can help us out... well long story a little bit shorter - we found a window that wasn't locked, apparently Luke keeps it unlocked for exactly this type of situation (would have been nice to know in the beginning - since we were outside in the @ least 30 degree weather for a good 1/2 hour)! Fun times in WA... FUN TIMES!

So Luke calls me back AN HOUR after the whole debacle ... since he decided to forget his cellphone when he went out to dinner.... no Batman radar on that one (I guess I have finally found a flaw... he cannot predict when something is going to go wrong.)

I have never been happier to get inside that house & snuggle under the blankets... hopefully that's all the excitement for the next week:)

The "cupcake" Belly

Hmmmm.... as per all of you apparently I have no belly... so I took another look @ the pic we posted & I suppose you're right. BUT... that was a couple weeks ago & my belly is MUCH bigger now. So we will have to take more pics. when Luke gets home:)

Other belly news.... Luke felt his first kick:) On Sunday we were laying on the couch watching TV & Luke had his hand on my belly(as he does often these days) where baby usually makes the moves - only this time... Luke actually felt 2 kicks... He was VERY excited:) It was super cute... his eyes got really big & he had a huge smile on his face:)

In other news... we are getting a web cam. This should be interesting for the technologically challenged (that being me). But my dad is getting us a web cam... he says it's so he can see us when we chat on the phone but it is TOTALLY just to see this baby! other wise I think we might have had gotten it over a year ago... hugh dad????:) so anyone w/ a web cam we can chitter chatter & actually see each other:) exciting stuff!

Belly Pics and more...

Here are some pictures of the new and growing Melyssa, still a skinny minny but now a baby belly is present. Starting to feel the kicks, the lil boy is growing slowly but surely. I say boy because melyssa and I have a bet on what the make and model of the lil tyke will be. Argh Argh Argh, it's definately a boy. Well the other pics are of Hurricane Ridge with all the snow from when I went snowboarding a few weeks ago, some sweet powder riding. And the other pics are me doing what I do best, driving the Coast Guards boats. Hope you all enjoy. See you all soon in March.

Belly

So I really have been meaning to take pics of my belly... it's just by the time I get home all I want to do is get into sweatpants... the belly has taken over & jeans are just not so comfy. It actually seems to have grown over night... it's definitely looking like a pregnant baby belly:) Luke's home this weekend though so maybe, if I remember, I will have him take some pics & upload them onto the computer. Speaking of which... for those of you who wanted RI pics from June (ooopsss) I just got new CD's made so I should be able to make some CD's @ home for you guys... so I promise to get them to you by the next time we come home... in March:)

As for baby... I go to the DR. today but I got a call about my ultrasound... I guess as of right now my placenta is lying low... Luke looked it up & I guess this could change... it could pop up top where it's supposed to be... BUT... if it doesn't I think I'll probably be having a c-section. They will be doing another ultrasound (that makes #4... not that I'm complaining) towards the end of February ... so I'll keep you posted on that. Other than that... I'll be getting weighed today... SCARY:)

Shows

Thank GOODNESS my shows are back on. Who knows how long this will last (not long I'm assuming) but it's nice to have some new shows to watch on my good ol' DVR:)

I have promised pics of the belly to many a peeps so.... they are coming.... soon.... I PROMISE!

Oh my...

I am a SUPER bad blogger.... Happy New Year Every Body!!! I so did not realize it has been as long as it has been since I last posted:)

The Holiday's were not so holly jolly this year... I don't know if it's all the pregnancy hormones making me so emotional or just the fact that I am so so so so so sick of the West Coast that it's not even funny... Maybe a combination of the two .... but needless to say this Christmas just wasn't the best Christmas ever (& that says a lot because not just 2 years ago I was getting over my Honeymoon from Hell Stomach thingy... nuff said)

Any way... I don't do resolutions... not that I have anything against them... I just tend to resolute (if that's even a word) throughout the year whenever something needs resolving... so there's always the get healthy thing... which I could always improve upon .... but I am not about to start that in January when everyone & their mama decides it's time to get their fat behinds to the gym.... UMMMM YAAAA NO! I'll go in Feb. when everyone is over their resolutions & back to the couch:)

Aside from the New Year... we're just trying to get a little organized around here before our lives are utterly transformed into mass chaos!!! Those of you who know me all too well... know that I am a neat freak who is uber organized. However since this little life inside of me has completely taken over my body... I am already slipping... the house is a mess I no longer know where anything goes... I can't even put a dish in the dishwasher(they wait for my lovely superb fabulous husband to come home and take care of them) same goes for laundry, vacuuming and any other cleaning activity. It is hard to even get myself in the shower in the am ( my name from Jenny & Jos definitely true these days:)) What is going to become of me when this kid is actually out and about.... SCARY!!!!!
