I have reached THAT stage of pregnancy..

April 04th, 2011

you know the one.. where one minute you are fine and getting ready to go out.. and then the next you are an irrational crazy woman who is filled rage.. please tell me I am not alone ;)  mine last night was before a ladies night.. I REALLY wanted to go.. it was a bowling night.. ( I just watched.. ) and I checked out their menu and it looked A OK.. me and Dust have talked about going there before.. so I was pumped.. 

getting ready was a different story.. pulled out the old dark wash gap maternities.. my staple pregnancy top that doesn’t make me feel like a house.. pondered over which shoes to wear.. and finally put on some make up.. things were looking good.. until i looked in the mirror and was just hating it.. so the outfit changes began.. and then the pregnancy crocodile tears started to flow.. and it all spiraled from there.. 

** I ended up going with the first outfit ;)

I even thought about throwing the lulus back on.. getting Mexican takeout and setting up some baby furniture at home.. but Dust came up and sorted me out.. and I was off.. and of course.. 

• it started to downpour
• I entered the 405 to signs saying Bellevue was closed?! ( I don’t know bellevue)
• I got lost for 15 mintues trying to find this place
• I ended up parking in the hotel.. and this nice server just getting off her shift gave me directions.. 
• I was 45 minutes late.. ( did I mention I am a virgo :0 )

I finally made it.. 

I walked in.. found the ladies.. and as I approached the table I had the thought.. “who the heck invited their husbands to Ladies night!!” I walked to our little area.. and was saying hi to these people I had never met before.. hugged the ones I knew.. and then realized.. not only did I not know these people.. the ladies I was with did not know these people!! they were the other team that sits on one side.. (the side I was standing) and they were ALL up in the ladies space.. one weirdo was even sitting on one of our chairs in our section.. he jumped up to let the pregnant woman sit down.. and one of the girls came up laughing.. informing me.. that we actually don’t know this guy.. but I think he wanted to hang out.. 

** insert note here that he looked like the crazy guy from The Body Guard who writes letters with magazine articles**

the night was great.. the food was good.. and the time away from the family was perfection.. the weirdo however was staring at us eat.. and taking pictures with his I phone.. 

then we finished the night off with a little low carb cheesecake that I was kind enough to share with the hubby when I got home ;)

we are in the lean-mean-potty-training-stage-machine stage right now..  I have actually found a way to keep the pull ups on when she sleeps.. and the underwear are so cute.. I may never go back to diapers ;)  things are rolling along slowly but surely.. the worse part may have to be getting stuck at home.. all these things are coming up and I want to go enjoy them.. but until she is ready.. here we sit.. I made one 45 minute outing.. and she had no accidents.. but I know that was luck.. and she needs more potty time.. 

"do the.. potty dance"

she has reached 23 pounds y’all !!
