B-day

25 years ago (and one day...sorry I am behind on things!)

2 stubborn Livingston boys decided that 35 weeks was enough "fetus" time and they decided to join the world!

The first of these two stubborn boys is the one that I am now in charge of for the rest of ALL time and then some!

4 lbs and some-odd oz (mama Jeana you will have to help me out on the oz part!) was my or The Brenton!

25 years later... still doing everything on his own time and still stubborn...case in point

The B-day Ribbon

This Birthday Ribbon was purchased by an AMAZING wife, for The Brenton to wear shouting out to the world that it's his B-day!

"I'm not wearing that" said The Brenton

"Please!" a pregnant wife pleaded!
"Ya, no thanks!"
"For just part of the day?"
"Ehhh"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! I WIN!

Well actually it was a compromise, we had 3 morning destinations to go to, he only had to wear it to one...he choose Breakfast where there were a total of 10 people in the whole place and no one cared about his ribbon!

Apparently he feels that this has started some sort of B-day tradition between us, who can embarrass the other one more and he says I can look forward to something on my B-day!

(Little does he know about the B-day cone hats that I plan on bringing when we go out to dinner tonight! BRING IT ON LIVINGSTON!)

Opposites Attract

But that doesn't mean that you have to get along.......


Exhibit A:
I am what you call a "scraper" when it comes to eating ice cream out of the carton (yes it's my house I can do what I want!) Look on the sides, I had neatly scraped my scoops to keep things even!!

Brenton is a "digger"....diggers ruin everything!! See that gigantic crater in my ice cream? Do you know how long it will take for me to make it even again??

It's a good thing our marriage is not based on how you eat ice cream, otherwise we would be in deep moose tracks...(get it??? It's an ice cream flavor, but it also can mean poop!!)

Exercise 30 min 3 x a week!

I heard this phrase at my first Doc's appointment

I was walking my dog twice a day for a half our each, so I felt I was getting that in just fine

And then winter ice roads/2nd trimester/just plain lazy kicked in

2 walks went to 1, and 30 min went to how ever long it would take for the doggie to poopy

Yesterday I was inspired to go walk the treadmill 30 WHOLE MINUTES!

AND NOW

I have scientific proof that exercise is not good for the body!! I would have been WAY better off laying down doing nothing.

Wake Up Call

PLUS

Get it???

Okay so being woken up by such a horrific pain is AWESOME...which leads to the 245th reason why I love my husband!

The Brenton: So you were whimpering this morning

Jazz: Ya, that is when I got my Charlie Horse

30 seconds after thinking about it

Jazz: Funny how you heard me whimpering and yet you didn't turn over to check on me.

The Brenton: I thought you were having a bad dream

Jazz: What am I a puppy?????


The Brenton...just smiles!

It's a learning Experience

First of all....this is Jazz typing....Nut Job has taken this week off and we are SOOOOoooo Glad....

Second I found that I like making lists...I am a list person, shopping list, lists for packing for trips, "things to do" lists...I just like 'em....

So today we shall make a list, a list of things I have learned in the last 30 weeks. Enjoy and contribute if you'd like...husbands are encouraged to participate!

1. Road Rage is never Ok, so when you feel that hitting someone would be a good alternative to driving behind them....that means you should have someone else drive ( I only drive when Brenton isn't in the car, he knows better than to sit shot gun with a crazy behind the wheel!)
   
   
2. Never go to the grocery store hungry and hormonal...you will only end up with cookies,ice cream and a bag of tortillas.
   
   
3. Elastic can be your friend one min and your enemy the next
   
   
4. If you don't have an obvious protruding stomach in the maternity store, you will get dirty judgmental looks
   
   
5. People look funny when they are 98% sure that you're pregnant, but are still too afraid to ask...you can see the internal battle of "Do I ask? But what if she isn't?"
   
   
6. If you have a full bladder, waddling is a natural occurrence, don't fight it...just go to the bathroom!
   
   
7. Cocoa Butter is a placebo...it's doesn't stop stretch marks, but magically you don't get upset when you do get them ( I don't want to talk about it!)
   
   
8. Will power is a success when you have fought the craving for more than 2 hrs.
   
   
9. Packing a snack for yourself is never the case, you must think of the Father-to-Be who will be with you, and plan on him eating your snacks too!
   
   
10. Sympathy from strangers lasts a whole lot longer than that of your spouse...You have about 6 months of awesome pampering and then 3 months of "whatever! Just stop crying"

She's Baaaaccckkkk!

Jazz: Oh Hello there Coo-Koo nice to see you again!!!

Nut Job: (evil glare)

Jazz: Oh I see you have been making yourself comfortable this week

Nut Job: Ya, it's been a pretty productive week

Jazz: Yes, I recall! How was that break down of yours? Good?

Nut Job: Ehh...I have done better, but it did the job...I got that "I am married to a crack pot!" look from The Brenton didn't I?

Jazz: Oh yes, yes you did...it took me a day or two to get that look to go away, thanks!

Nut Job: No problem

Jazz: So what's your deal this week? Why are you hanging around so long?

Nut Job: There is just sooo much material around lately, I'm thinking about hanging out for a while

Jazz: Really? hmmm...I don't think that is such a great idea

Nut Job: Ya, it kinda is....

Jazz: I have noticed you have set in for the most innocent of people, maybe you should just lay low for a bit

Nut Job: That's the dumbest idea I have ever heard...

Jazz: See that is what I am talking about, stop saying what you are thinking!!!

Nut Job: Ya, it's kind of funny to hear you try to talk me out of saying it, but of course I am going to...I'm defiant!

Jazz: Right, got that...well do you think you can be quiet for the weekend? I mean I would like to have a day this week where The Brenton isn't considering running away.

Nut Job: I don't make any promises!


Jazz: Jerk! Oopps...

Nut Job: Ha ha ha ha ha
