TV is going down the toilet

So I was very disturbed the other day when I turned on the television to watch my 3:00 p.m. showing of Ellen when I was completely shocked to see the Tyra Banks Show. What in the world is ABC thinking? Keep this show on the WB, or CW, or whatever that channel is. Has anyone sat and watched this show? Oh my gosh. I think it is the worst show I have ever seen. I am more entertained watching Sally Jessie Rafael. Hopefully this show will not last. Don't get me wrong, I watch my share of bad TV shows, those of which I will not name so that nobody thinks less of me, but this show reaches a whole new level.

A Grand Sunday

On Sunday morning my friends took me to breakfast at the Grand America for a small baby shower. It was so much fun!!!! They are the best. I got cute outfits, bibs, blankets, and shoes for the un-named baby. My friends are so amazing. THANKS, Marisa, Holly, Charity and Miranda.

After I got home Ryan took Brayden to his first baseball game. It was a nice day to go since it was not too hot. Brayden came home with a miniature wooden bat, which Brayden would not part with, until he threw it across the room multiple times and it has now been taken away and is just an outside toy. Brayden REALLY, REALLY wanted to go and see the giraffes and elephants at the zoo yesterday. I told him that maybe in a few weeks when Papa Don is staying with him while I am in the hospital he might be able to take him to the zoo. Hopefully Papa will be okay with this or maybe Brayden will have forgotten by then. I asked Ryan to take the camera to take pictures of him for me at his first baseball game, however, I was denied. I did get a cell phone picture, but it is really not the same thing.

D-Day Update

I went to the doctor on Wednesday and we set my delivery date for September 25, 2008. Not too much longer before our new little boy is here. We are still struggling with names so if anyone has any thoughts please let us know. Miranda Beckman and Holly... we have been through a lot of names together so you will have to be very creative. I am leaning towards Andrew and Ryan is liking Jase. Any input would be nice.

Breaking Dawn Vent

Let me first preface this with if you have not read Breaking Dawn and plan to read Breaking Dawn please stop here. And to the people I have already expressed my opinion too I am sorry you have to hear this again, but it continues to bother me.

First of all, I am a huge fan of the books and read the first three books multiple time ( I know it is sad to admit, but sometimes you get sick of watching Handy Manny and Little Einsteins 20 times in a row). I must say that I was really kind of disappointed in the last book. I have two complaints that I just cannot look past. 1) Since when did Jasper's name change to Jazz? You cannot start a nickname in the fourth book without it not being mentioned in any of the other three books. Not Cool. 2) What the heck is up with combining names for a baby name. Now I am the first to admit that there are some cute names that have two names combined, but Renesmee, that is probably the ugliest name for a child I have ever heard, especially when this baby is suppose to be so amazingly beautiful. If she is beautiful then pick a beautiful name. And then for a middle name to combine Charlie and Carlisle for Carlie, OH PLEASE!!! When sharing my views of this with Holly she asked what I was going to name our little boy and I told her that I was thinking of combining our father's names, Don and Thomas for "Domas" If you say this out loud you will get the idea. Not that I am saying my son would be a dumba@# but it is just not that cute of a name.

Thanks for letting me vent.

New Baby Pictures

So we went to Fetal Fotos to get some pictures of the baby. I love doing this. We also did it with Brayden. I have posted 3 different pictures. The top two are of the new baby and the third is of Brayden so everyone can compare the two boys. I am going to go back within the next week or two because he was folded in half and would not bring his legs down from his face so we were not able to get a good look at his face. We tried to get him to move the entire time we were there, finally the tech said that we were going to have to come back to see if we could get a better look at his face. He is already stubborn just like his mommy. In some of the pictures we were able to see that he has hair. Now the only question is what color it is going to be. I told Melissa that it would probably be red but we will see. After we went to Fetal Fotes I went and bought a new camcorder so now I will be able to post video easier. YEA!!!

One thing that stinks about being pregnant

One of the worst parts of being pregnant is nesting, which I admit it, I am currently stuck in this stage. I cannot get enough done in the hours of the day. Even though I know I have plenty of time to get everything ready for the baby I feel like I am running out of time. I was finally able to get Brayden moved into his new room. I am not going to be posting pictures, because he is just "moved in". It is not decorated because buying stuff for boys is sometimes not very fun. I am still trying to decide how to decorate his room, so it will probably not get done until after the baby is here. I am proud of him because he did last until about 12:30 a.m this morning in his new room. He is very excited about his room, but when I talk to him about sleeping in his bed he says that he can't and that he needs to sleep with his mom and dad. I now I am probably a bad mom for letting him sleep with me, but I am too tired to fight with him about it. At this point I am lucky to get about five hours of sleep at night and when I am able to sleep I don't care who is sleeping in my bed as long as I am asleep. Well okay, I might be a little selective. We also moved the guest bedroom back into the basement this weekend. Hopefully withing the next few days Ryan will clean up the computer room, however, we are running on different time frames, so I think that will probably be done by the end of August. It is times like this that I wish my OCD mom lived around here to clean my house and get everything ready.

One other thing that I am over joyed about reporting is that I believe after 3 years and 3 months of changing Brayden's butt he has finally decided that he is ready to use the toilet and we have gone over one week without any "big" accidents. Now I just need him to stop peeing in the backyard and go in the toilet, but at least it is not in his pants.

Happy 4th!!!

This 4th of July Ryan had to work so Brayden and myself were on our own to entertain ourselves that night. In the morning we went and spent time with Ryan's sisters and their children for the 1st annual 4th of July 5K run/walk. This Olson family opted out of the competition. I of course declined due to my current condition, however, Ryan likes to default to having a bad knee, however, I believe that he just did not want to get shown up by his nieces who would have kicked his butt. Maybe next year I will be more willing to participate. We then took Brayden to see Wall-E. Which was an okay movie. That night Brayden and I ended up going to the neighbors for a BBQ and then we did some fireworks before the city let theirs off. West Jordan does fireworks three days in a row so that was a lot of fun for Brayden. He really enjoyed spending time with his friend Jaxon. On Saturday night we were able to do some fireworks with Ryan at home.
