Just for you Brandon dear!

Okay so Brandon has been requesting for several weeks for me to update my blog, and honestly I have just been too tired. However I seem to be getting a little better and have ventured out here lately. Being a home-body has really been getting me down I think.

Let's see so much to talk about. Right now I am obsessively checking to make sure Jade's flight has departed so I am writing then checking the AA website...speaking of...OH no...they just changed it to 11:25am I think the rain is effecting take off. I hope Jade is doing good. She has a minor panic attack this morning after she left here, and realized just how much she missed me, she was crying and I was doing all I could to hold it together...oh lord here I go crying again. UGH, I hate that I can't contain my emotions!! I calmed her down and took her mind off of missing me and told her about all the wonderful things to do in Cali. She left with her dad, his fiancee Christina and his mother. They should be getting home Thursday and I pretty much want to surprise her up at the airport but we will see.

This past weekend was wonderful we wanted to spend it with Jade before she left. So we took her to Grapevine Mills mall. We had lunch at the Rainforest's Cafe, which the food there was not all that appealing but lately I can't seem to find anything that I love. After that we walked around till the shoes I wore were starting to give me a blister and luckily we walked up to Old Navy and bought me some comfy flip flops so I could endure the rest of the day I had planned. We surprised Jade by taking her to Build-A-Bear Workshop! She was so happy and picked out her bear, stuffed it and even put a little heart inside of her. Then the fun began! Clothes shopping for her new friend "Ashley" she later named her. So after a outfit, shoes, bear carrier, bear panties, pajama's and two bows later...we paid and received her birth certificate. I thought this would help Jade out while she was gone to have her pal Ashley along with her for her vacation. Brandon, Jade and I were definitely ready to go after spending almost 5 hours there. We walked and walked and it seemed we would never get to neighborhood 1. Oh Lisa, I went into Motherhood, geez louise that place is cold!!!!!

A few weeks ago we moved Jade upstairs to the big game room, SHE LOVES IT!! Heck, Brandon and I are jealous she has pretty much the most awesome room a 7 yr old could have let alone she has the 60 inch TV. I put some lights up around the ceiling and hanged her Twilight posters and her Jonas poster and it is the pretty nice up there. I find myself up there just hanging out with her majority of the day.

Let's see I had my 12wk check up on July 23, all was good Jade and Brandon came along to see the sono, the baby was very active and the sono tech could hardly get a single picture. That baby's heartbeat is a good 140-142bpm. Could not get a good visual of the sex and right now I am fine not knowing. However Brandon says I am so wishy washy he never knows what we have decided on. I think we will find out just not tell anyone for now. After that I had to see the Dr, she was a little concerned with the amount of weight I have lost but said it to try to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Which I try to eat anytime I am not feeling sick not really sick I just feel like the thought of food makes my stomach turn circles I cause that would nausea. This is all new to me, I never had any problems with Jade until the last month when I got toxemia and was put on bed rest. Dr. G also said I could start working out, treadmill mostly but not to let my heart rate go above 140. So I plan to start soon once I feel better. I have started my 2nd tri-mester this week and so I am hoping I will feel better soon! Brandon has been wonderful these first 3 months and he has put up with my laziness, not wanting to cook, clean, laundry, and he has picked up my slack. I love you honey!!!!

This week I plan to stay busy and try to clean while Jade is gone. Today has been rough for me but I will be better. I just have to tell myself she will be home soon and not to worry so much. Enjoy this time with Brandon and clean my house! ha ha Well see how much I get done.
They put her flight off till 11:36 but its 11:42am hmm...I would just feel better knowing she has taken off. I seem to be a little neurotic about this and I am not for sure if the pregnancy is making me this way or if this is just me! Okay now they changed it to 11:50. I better go start laundry or else I am going to just stay here refreshing the screen.

Love you all!

  1. Your hilarious Erin. I just read this (because I can't sleep - thanks to the growing baby in my belly) and by now I know that your Jade has made it home. I'm so glad for you. I know you were missing her terribly and I would have been as "neurotic" as you and hitting refresh on the screen every minute I could. Your a good mommy! Sounds like everything went well at the doctor - that's exciting!! And if you pull off knowing the sex and NOT telling a single person I will have to give you the bestest secret keeper of the world reward. That would be impressive and impossible for me to do!! But that would be so much fun if you could. Thanks for giving me something to read!! Love ya Picketts!
