So last time I was here I kept saying how excited I was for my baby shower and how I couldn't wait, so I think an update is due as to how that went and everything we got. I had an excellent time (despite being on house arrest upstairs until about 1:00pm)! Amber and Nathan showed up around 12ish and saved me from being to bored hanging out upstairs by my lonesome. They had great timing b/c I had just finished getting ready and was wondering what I was going to do until I was allowed downstairs. Around 12:45 my grandma made us all grilled cheese and tomato soup b/c we so hungry. It was very delicious and afterwords we were all able to go downstairs and see the decorations and everything they had been working on. I thought my sister and mom did a great job with it all and even picked out a super cute cake! It has a monkey on it and said "Congratulations Sarah and Nathan" I had great time playing the games and spending time with my family and friends. It was a good turnout, and although not everybody could make it, those who did had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. We got a lot of great stuff including a stroller with matching car seat and even a dragonfly yellow and grey pack-n-play. Not to mention everybody was very generous with the clothes, stuffed animals, diapers, and other such necessities. Amber got us the coolest thing ever. It's a bathtub that's in the shape of a rubber duck and it's inflatable, and the coolest part is, when you squeeze the nose/beak it makes quack quack noises! I wonder if they make them in adult sizes?! lol! It's such a great gift and will def. come in handy when we have to bathe the baby from being all dirty. :) I love the stuffed animals, clothes, and even diapers we received from everybody. I will certainly say that Nathan and I are off to a great start when it comes to what we will be needing for when "Ultimus" arrives in October. Overall the shower was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. I'm super excited for the one Nathan's mom is going to throw us, as well as the one Jenny and Tina are planning in Greensboro! (speaking of, I really need to get them a guest list....I will have to work on that tomorrow, so it's not like a week before and they are freaking out on me)
On Sunday I went down to Nathan's to spend some time with him since he had the day off and I really wanted to see him. I'm trying to get down there as much as I'm able to because I miss him a lot these days when he's not around and I enjoy our time spent together. Well when I arrived his lazy butt was still asleep in bed, which i had a feeling was going to happen. So I decided I'd climb in with him and take a nap since I was still tired from being up early. It took about 10-15 minutes of me laying there for him to decide he wanted to get up and get ready for the day. He took a shower and then cleaned his room while I piddled around online for a little bit. Afterwords we went out to lunch at applebee's and then went to the new Harry Potter movie. I was glad he decided to go with me, b/c I really hoped we would see the second part together since the first time we hung out we went to see the first part together. It just so happened that it would out to which we would do so, which means....the next movie we have to see is winnie the pooh! :) lol. Nathan is like I don't want to see that movie, and I'm 100% convinced that i'm going to be able to get him to come with me, but I just don't know anymore. All I can say, is i'm determined to see it before it goes out of theaters! But anyways, back to potter. It was a really good. Not nearly as sappy as i thought it was going to be. There was only one part that made me really want to cry, otherwise I think the way the killed off the characters and everybody was done well and not in a super sad/sappy way. I enjoyed the way they put it all together and the way they wrapped it up. It makes me really want to read the books from where I left off. (I only ever made it to book 5, and only about the first 4 chapters, before I was tired of reading the potter books) I think the next time I try and read them I will start there so it will be new information I'm reading and I will stick with it longer. But it was an excellent movie and I'm glad Nathan took me to go see it.
After the movie we went back to his place and watched the end of the world cup, which was interesting enough to say the least. While watching it we worked on his simpsons 3D puzzle ball he got. It was to crazy to do, and we ended up using the cheat numbers on the back. haha. We worked on the puzzle for about 30 minutes and then watched swamp people for about 2 hours, and then Nate let me switch it over to something different if I wanted to. I took advantage of that and switched it to bridezillas which I think made him angry and left him wanting to punch the TV b/c of the annoying crazy girls and the guys who he decided were totally whipped. I assured him I would never get that crazy and that I didn't understand how they could flip over the stupidest things! I think we both agreed that the show is just to crazy to watch. After a couple episodes of their screaming and yelling, we decided to change the channel and settled on a movie called cyberbully. It was alright, kind of annoying, and showed how stupid people can get online. I didn't like the ending and was disappointed in it, but thought it was overall an okay movie, if you were in high school, or dealing with the things they talked about. Aside from that I wouldn't really recommend it. Well after that was over we decided to hit the hay and go to bed. It was midnight and Nathan had to get up the next morning and work.
That brings us to today. Today was a fairly boring day. Nothing to exciting happen, though we did get a new security system installed, completely free of change, that allows us to be able to be directly connected to the police/fire department/etc in case of a true emergency. It was interesting to hear the guy talk about the features it has as well and other stuff. He was a younger guy so my mom was asking him questions like what he did for school and how he got into this. Turns out it's his summer job and he's from california! It was weird but he seemed cool and provided my mom with tuns of info on the new system. He came around and said they were doing this to promote their company and would upgrade our old system free of charge if we agreed to display their sign in our front yard. My mom was skeptical at first, but once she found out the monthly payment would stay the same as the one we had before she didn't see why not. I figure might as well, especially when my dad is always paranoid when we go on vacay or away for a weekend. I guess now when we go to ohio we won't have to worry about anything getting stolen or damaged. It even has this key fob like thing that activates and deactivates your alarm while you're siting in your car in your driveway. It's really cool b/c then you can just press a button and it's armed when you're already outside of the house and all with just the push of a button.
But anyways, tomorrow I'm going to so I be pricked and have my blood drawn so they can make up and prepare my shot i have to get on wednesday b/c of my blood type. It's got something to do with a monkey gene, and either I have it or i'm lack mooresville ing it, and that's why i have to get this shot. I believe it's that i'm lacking it since my blood type is negative, and they have to give me this so my body doesn't fight off a possible negative blood type pregnancy if i wanted to have more kids down the line. It's a way of preparing me so I can have more children without complications, if i so choose to do so at some point. Wednesday is my "super fun" appointment (note the sarcasm) where I have to drink my bottle of goo and hope I don't end up with gestational diabetes, which is a possibility. I'm hoping I don't b/c I really like ice cream and I other sweets and I couldn't imagine not being able to eat them until october or so. I will be 28 weeks or 7 months tomorrow, for those of you who are keeping track. I'm in my last tri-mester and plugging along great. I don't feel like I've gained much weight up to this point, but I'm sure that won't last much longer and I'll be gaining lots like a crazy person. Lol.
Well I'm getting sleepy and I have to be up early tomorrow, not to mention I'm kind of running out of things to talk about, so I think I'm going to call it a night and hit the hay.
Until Next Time~
~The Blob & Ultimus .......(i got in trouble for calling him blob jr. the last couple of times. I guess ... Nathan just doesn't get it, lol)
