It's a Contest of Wills

I'm convinced this little stinker inside me is just trying to prove that she can be more stubborn than me. And honestly, I'd tell her she's right if she'd just come out so I could tell her. I have my next Dr's appt on Monday, but instead of seeing my Dr at the Dr's office, I'd like to see my Dr at the hospital sometime in the next 3 days. Oh well. If not, I'll still be here, letting Aftyn make her point, that she is truly more stubborn than me.

The Biggest Loser Finale . . .

I just gotta say it - I'm so glad Mike didn't win! Way to come out of nowhere Helen, and blow all the competition out of the water! No one even thought Helen had a chance of winning. Way to be an underdog, and show the rest of us how to handle it humbly. Thank you and goodnight.

Mothers Day Thoughts

Well, first of all, as you can see, the computer still seems to be hanging in there. I think we might be in the clear. We downloaded a free anti-something,(after doing some research first) checked the whole computer and then had the program clean it, and now it is running SO much better.
And, as I'm sure so many are wondering, what does my dr. have to say at this point in the game? Well, I'm dilated to about a 1, and she thinks for sure I'll still be pregnant this week. :( That made me a whole lot of sad on Friday when she told me, but now I'm doing better. After all, what can you really do about it? And, no matter when she comes, hopefully all will be well, and we'll still have a baby girl to love whether she comes tomorrow or on May 29th. (But I think I might love her more if she comes tomorrow.)
;) Just Kidding!
Mothers Day has been very nice. Reed got me a whole tray of cupcakes made by the Young Women in our ward, I got a chocolate bar at church, my mother-in-law gave me a new geranium, and we had fruit and truffles and macaroons in Relief Society today. Yum! Really, what more could you ask for?
Reed did a nice number on his knees on Friday. He helped one of his co-workers pour a patio for his home, and decided it would be a good idea to kneel down in the concrete to do the finish work. His knees look like someone took a sander to them. It's been 3 days, with lots of TLC, and he still hurts when he walks around, bends, anything. He's been taking Aleve and icing his poor swollen knees, but they haven't decided to feel better yet. Reed told me I need to have the baby tomorrow so he doesn't have to go to work with his knees hurting. :( No pressure, right?!

Quick little side note. Thursday night, I was sitting in our baby's room on the computer, Reed was in the room next door. I decided it was time to test out Reed's skills and how capable he would be when something does happen with this baby. So, I said,"Let's have a test Reed." Reed was kind of confused by what I said and not really paying attention, and he says, "Huh?" So, I wait a few minutes, he doesn't ask again, so I go ahead with my test. I say to him "Reed, my water just broke."
Reed "What?! Did it really?!?!?"
Me "No! I just told you we were having a test!"
Reed was very grateful it was only a test, after which I proceeded to grill him about what we would do next. I hope he does better when/if that really happens. :)

Our Computer's on the Fritz!

So, if we don't stay on top of blogging as per our norm, just be a little patient. I'm busy trying to talk Reed into buying a new computer. :) But we're still alive!

~ A Unique Problem ~

I finally remembered what at least one of my "dream" posts was about.

Friday night, I got a phone call around 10:58 pm. I remember, b/c it was close to 11, but it was still 10, so I thought I would answer it. The number showed up as being from Missouri, which should have been my first clue. But, nonetheless, I answered it.

I hear a young woman start talking - trying to come off as very kind and informative, saying something about how she was calling from planned parenthood, and she had some sort of tube or something saying that I was pregnant.(Gee, that's a shockeroo, I thought as I looked down at my almost 37 week pregnant belly.)

Now, you have to know that Reed and I had some genetic testing to make sure all was well, done on the baby back in December. So, insert me, thinking someone had somehow received something meant for us? Whatever - anyway, at this point, this girl seems like she's rambling and starting to repeat the same kind of information in different ways, so I say to her,"I'm not sure what this has to do with me," (cause she never had really gotten to a point in her statements). Anyway, right after my comment, I hear this evil 2nd voice say "calm down lady". At this point, I hang up, b/c clearly this is a prank call.

That's just the latest. I'm pretty sure b/c my phone number, the numbers repeat themselves and they are fairly easy to dial and come up with, I have had at least 5 prank calls from random people I don't know in the last 5 yrs that I've had this number. I wonder if anyone else receives prank calls as often as I have. I've had the random young boy calls - 2 of those I think, one person who just needed someone to talk to at 1 am when I happened to be awake, one sick perv who was asking me weird questions - he was weird.

I am just wondering, does anyone else have this problem? Is it b/c of my number or are weird, bored, psychotic, perverted people just drawn to my number for some reason?
Just some food for thought.

In My Dreams . .

I've noticed on more than one occasion, that in that state of mind where you're half asleep and half awake, trying to go to sleep, I have been coming up with some pretty good blog posts! Problem is, when I wake up, like right now, I can't think of what the heck they were and why they were good. Oh well.

Reed came home yesterday! I'm so excited to have him back ~ now our little stinker girl, or Aftyn, can come. Reed is looking like only a portion of himself now-a-days, thanks to some fun stuff he's been doing at night in my brothers garage with 5 other guys. You'll have to ask Reed about it. I'm pretty proud of him. But you should hear HIM talk about the changes he's seeing. He's pretty dang proud of himself!

In other news, thanks to all the early bird birthday wishes! That makes me feel pretty special that so many people already remembered my birthday that's coming up! Reed has had a birthday present for me since Christmas and has tried on numerous occasions to tell me what it is. I've held off ~ who wants to ruin the surprise?

Mothers Day is next weekend - don't forget that fabulous mother figure in your life!!

Other Thoughts

I believe I might actually pack a hospital bag tonight. Seems like a good idea, somehow. Not that I think it'll happen tonight, just that if that part is done, then at least its done and doesn't have to be worried about or done later.
