Here we go again!

I am getting much better at this blogging thing! Look at this twice in one month! Thanks to all for the congrats on the baby. The bigger I get, the more excited I get! I try and wear my tightest shirts so that people can see the stomach I am developing! Still had about five comments yesterday telling me that I don't look pregnant. Great! strangers just think that I am one of those chubby people who are in denial that their skinny days are over!
I went to the doctor again and was very excited that this four months I actually gained weight instead of just feeling like I did. I got to hear the baby's heart beat again. I got a little nervous when he started looking for it. I generally am not a person who panics, but for about 30 seconds all these horror stories flashed through my mind. (Yes in 30 seconds I have time to think of many stories...) When I did hear it I was so relieved! I am really going to have a baby! Weird! Doctor said everything is good and I set the appointment to find out the gender. I am pretty excited about this. So is Jason since he will actually get to come to this appointment... Scheduling between his practicum and school and my work and school has been pretty crazy and he has missed hearing the heart beat twice.
After my appointment I got to work and the kids wanted to know all about the baby and if "it came out" this time. I told them that I got to hear the heart beat and one of them said, "did they check to see if it was dead... that's what happened on Marley and Me. The baby got dead..." One thing for sure, You cannot be sensitive around four year olds. So we had a nice talk about how sometimes babies do die...
We also have a lot of nutrition talks. I am suremy kids go home and tell their parents, "babies need lots of water, babies need oranges and carrots, babies like grapes..." They have also asked questions like how did the baby get in your stomach and how does the doctor get it out. Needlwss to say these kid won't need child development! :) I guess I better get to work cleaning! Ahhh Saturdays!

Wow

So I was thinking that maybe if I updated my blog a little more often I might be able to get some followers... When I joined (well took over) facebook I finally got friends, maybe my blog should be the next step I take in becoming a real person. I am sorry if I never finished our story, but I figured it was time to move on. So here I am...on! Well I guess the only thing left to talk about is how excited Jason and I are am was were is (whatever) for little poppy. I am now 14 weeks and people keep telling me I don't look pregnant, but since I can't fit any of my pants this is not really what I want to hear. So if you feel like it I would love for someone to tell me I look pregnant! Well to be fair Leah (who happens to be four) tells me every day that my belly is so big! That is why she is my favorite.
Anyway Poppy is due November 12th and we are hoping for a boy or a girl or maybe both. I have some names rolling around in my head, but am not sure since ultimately Jason makes the final decision.... I better write everything down. I would hate for him to misspell the baby's name! Wow there is a lot to think about! :)
Jason and I are (I are just sounds so weird) how about we are both going to school and I am working at a preschool where I am way over worked and underpaid. Consequently I am thinking of becoming independently wealthy. If any one knows of any good get rich quick and never work again schemes please let me know!
So I guess that is all I have to say. Sorry it is not entertaining or fairy taleish, but at least I wrote something! Your welcome Melenie... I hope you actuallt read this!

Is this the end?

Maybe that wasn't out of order... Maybe I should reread my posts so I know what is going on or went on in my life...
Unfortunately the prince had forgotten that at least once in every phone conversation for the past two months, he had told the princess that they were just friends. Consequently the princess was a little sceptical of his "declaration" of I think love... The visit ended too soon, the prince had to leave, and the princess had to get back to life. The phone calls, texts, and emails continued and the prince was not impressed with the long distance relationship (well e never called it a relatioship just a friendship...)and one day while playing halo the prince had a break down and I quote, "This just isn't going to work anymore..... We either have to get married, break up or just be friends and I Know what I want." The confused princess asked, "Do I have to decide right now?" "Oh no you can tell me later..." Well the princess dis not take his proposal lightly. After a day of serious thought (and petal plucking- he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not...) she came up with an answer. She caled the prince back and after asking some serious soul searching questions told him that she had made a decsion "Yea I will marry you!" she said. He was so shocked that he turned off Halo and began to focus on the princess, but it was too late by then ane he was stuck with the princess! Later the prince called to speak with the king and sadly the queen (who had strep throat) answered. The nervous prince mistook the queen for the king for and consequently had to tell her why he was calling.... He called back later and got the king. After a phone call that lasted approximately one minute and fourty six seconds the prince called the princess and she set off to find a dress... More to come in another eight or so months!

Ooo la la

Well to continue... after the Prince left the princess she sadly realized that this was probably the last time she would see the prince. She realized that she had wasted her chance for a summer fling! All she got was time spent with a charming prince and nothing to show for it... Nothing except some apple sauce covered fireflies, a barbequed hamburger, scraped knees, and goose poop covered shoes!
She was flying out of St. Louis at 4:00 A.M. and decided to spend time with some friends. They went to Olive Garden and talked and giggled and gossiped. The princess told them all about the prince, but denied that she liked him. Her friends knowing her well did not believe her for a second. The princess thought about the prince the whole flight back to the land of the sun (Las Vegas)and decided that since she lived so far from the prince she would not think about him anymore. That was tough since he started texting her the minute she left and wouldn't stop! Okay, okay... So she liked it... a little.
Well time goes by and the princess adjusted back into her normal routine of teaching school, going to singles activities, and being one of the most popular princesses in all the land. The Nevada Princes all wanted to date her, but she was beginning to suspect that she had left her heart in Illinois.
The prince decided that he had had enough of just texting and calling the princess, he wanted to see her again. The perfect opportunity presented itself and the prince hopped a plane to spend the princess's birthday with her. Shortly before he arrived, the princess got nervous and decided she no longer wanted to even be friends with the prince. She would tell him after the weekend.
The princess took a personal day from work to spend more time with the prince... She was so nervous she had to drive around the airport twice because she missed the parking garage.
As the prince came toward her in the baggage claim area, the princess knew that she did want to be his "friend" still and that she would not break his heart this time. They grabbed his bag and proceeded to take a tour of all the wedding chapels on the strip... Just kidding, but they did walk around and talk.
Soon they headed to Alamo to hike and spend time with her family. After eating with the queen, king, and another princess, they went for a moonlight walk down a lonely road. That seemed to be a habit with these two, but this time there were no fireflies. The prince had a birthday surprise for the princess. They walked back to the car and he pulled out a book. It was called "A Fireflies First Flight", but the clever prince had rewritten the book "A Couples First Kiss". It was so sweet and clever that the princess's heart melted. After reading the book they shared a moonlight dance.
The next day the prince and princess took a drive to St. George to visit the sister of the prince. After a period of silence the prince stuttered, "What would you say if I said I think that I am falling in love with you?" The princess was so shocked all she could say (after a two minute pause) was "What if I said the same?" Awkward silence reigned until the prince broke it with unimportant chit chat. To be continued...

I found this random post and decided to post it although it is way out of order... Hopefully I can get back to the real story.

Will the Princes Give In? I think not...

The Prince had no idea that his charm and love potion were wasted on the princess with the heart of stone. Her friend (who shall remain mostly anonymous, but her initials are C.B.) convinced the princess to have a "summer fling". Since the Prince lived in Illinois and the Princess lived in a kingdom far, far away she figured the Prince was the perfect victim.... I mean she liked the prince, he was handsome, seemed smart, and funny, also his cooking hadn't killed her and she had actually liked it... a little. After dinner the prince and princess watched a movie and cudddled. After the movie was over they were tslking confortably when the prince leaned in and tried to steal a kiss! The outraged princess did not kiss back, so the prince tried again. Nope! Sucka! Finally the prince told the princess" you can kiss back you know." She took pitty on him and the third time was the charm. After talking (yes I said and meant talking) the prince took the princess back to Walmart... He asked if she would like to hang out with him again. Since what they had done so far did not have much flinginess to it, the princess said okay. The next night was the night that they... You guessed it, climbed trees and chased geese in the park. After these exciting adventures, they were laying on the grass looking for stars and talking (yes they did a lot of talking). Suddenly the princess realized that she had to go to the bathroom... Since there was no bathroom at the park, they went back to his aparment. After more talking and a few kisses the princess had to go home. It was late and she was tired and ver sad to have to leave the prince. Niether the prince nor the princess knew of they would see each other again and both were pretty sad. The Princess kept telling herself that it was okay because prince's have cooties, but she just couldn't quite convince herself... How does it end you ask.... That is for another time, hopefully next week and not in three months.
