Funny Things

Doing lunges during one commercial break of The Biggest Loser and being sore the next day.
Eating 3 ice cream sandwiches a day.
Having those first two points happen in the same day! :) I love ice cream. :)
Getting an B+ on your test that you didn't really study for and expected a 50% or below. (Good job, Brian!)
tickling people that hate to be tickled

NOT funny things:

Snow on March 31st-definitely not funny
Having ridiculous Melissa back on the biggest loser! Ugh! I dislike her very much!

Ok, I know that I've been a total slacker on posting pictures. Sorry. I've decided to post just three. Now, I started taking pictures at week 7 because Brian's friend was TOTALLY showing by week 15 (yes, with her first baby) and I wanted to see the transition. Now, I'm not talking about poking out a little...she was huge. My 23 week picture was probably her 13 week picture. No joke! I can even prove it if I wanted to stalk facebook and steal her picture for my blog, but I'm not that weird. Well, she just got huge really fast because I certainly did not poke out that much by 15 weeks, so I stopped taking pictures for a while. Brian says that my "ghetto booty gives good balance to my tummy. " Please disregard my "ghetto booty" as brian likes to call it, in these pictures. Isn't he sweet? Maybe I should inform him that although he's trying to be sweet.... it's just.....not a compliment. Anyway, here is the update:

9 weeks

4 months (16 weeks)

23 weeks

I know that I'm completely not photogenic, so don't make fun. :) I'm not going to lie...I just barely took that 23 weeks picture like an hour ago and I was shocked to see that I'm actually that big! Looking at my tummy from the above view (just when I'm looking down at it), it doesn't look that big at all. Every time I share my shock with Brian he reveals this truth as if it was completely unknown by me: "You're pregnant" followed by an "of course you look like that" saying. Thanks, dear. Anyway, now I have proof that I'm buying clothes and talking baby stuff for a reason. There's a baby in there! Still seems so crazy to me.

Hair Cut Advice, Please

Ok, so I am LOATHING my hair right now. I wanted to grow it out one last time before I chop it before the summer, but I have the hardest time getting it past that awkward shoulder length stage. The thing I'm most worried about is having short hair and putting on my pregnancy weight. As you know, I already have kind of a round, chubby face naturally, so I don't want a haircut to make me look fatter than I already will be with more weight coming on. So, I kind of want to hear your opinions. Should I cut it or grow it out a little? If I do grow it out, I'm going to have it thinned cause I have the thickest hair ever....and maybe some layers put in it. I just hate the way it is.

Thanks everyone! :)

Little addition: I really love it short since I HAVE to do my hair. I get lazy when it's long. Brian loves it short too. Long or short....love it. I just hate the in between

Out of the mouth of Claire

Claire was asking me about Hailey nursing. She was sad to find out that Hailey wasn't nursing anymore. She said, "Well, when I am a mommy can you give my babies milk?" Uh...nope. Can't do that. "Why mom?" Well, my milk will be gone (thank goodness) and you'll have to do it. "Oh, well, I want a big, big, BIG family. TWELVE babies! But I don't want the littlest baby to ever get big because I do NOT want one hundred babies." March 2015
Claire: Daddy, do you stink? Brian: Why do you say that? Claire: Because I can smell you. 6/18/14
Claire walked out of her room and this is what ensued: Daddy: "Claire, get back to bed." Claire: "But Daddy, my bed is being crazy!" (We try hard not to laugh). Daddy: "What?" Claire: "My bed is being crazy!!!" He went back, she tangled her blanket so her feet were getting cold. 5/15/2014
Claire asked her sunbeam teacher what "this" was, pointing to something on her chest. She thought she was talking about the pattern on her dress. Claire said, "No, no! These. They are for milk for babies." 5/2014
Eating corn on the cob for dinner, Claire turned to me and asked, "Mommy, are you going to eat some of this YUUUUMMMMYYY corn?" 5/2014
"Mommy, can you do this for me?" She hands me my eyelash curler and I proceed to curl her eyelashes. She bats her eyes in the mirror and says, "There. That's better." For the record...I have never done this, so she didn't learn it from me. 1/28/14
I was doing Claire's hair , combing through it. "Mommy, stop brushing my hair, you're making me crazy." 1/28/14
Claire has a VERY hard time going #2 in the toilet. She will hold it for days and days, so she ends up sitting on the toilet for hours sometimes. This week, she had been in there for a good two hours (and never went). Anyway, during that time she called me in several times, "MOMMY!!!! Come here!!!" And then would tell me nothing. So, after what seemed like the billionth, "MOMMY come here!" shouting, I went in to find her with the ENTIRE roll of toilet paper collected in a heap in her arms. I looked at her and gasped in frustration. I had just changed that roll! Brand new roll. Think of all that! She looked at me, giggled, and said, "Mommy...hehe....I sneezed...hehe." 1/28/14
We had our first ice storm here in Texas. I took Claire to Costco and let her walk on the ice. "Mom, I need to put on my ice skates". "Claire, do you have ice skates?" "No mom, I don't." Good point though sweetheart!
Claire always wakes me up telling me that the sun is awake. The other day, she came in, told me the sun was awake once more and then told me that she wanted some candy. I informed her that we didn't have any, but she said, "Mom, all we have to do is say Trick-or-treat!"
We went camping and I asked if Claire had fun. Claire: "I love camping, but Jared was naughty. We should leave him home".
Me: "Claire, why are you out of bed?" Claire: "Because of this..." She starts moving as if she'll pee her pants. Me: What? Claire: "Because I have the wiggles."
While at the mall bathroom, "MOMMY! YOU DID IT! YOU PEED!" For everyone to hear.
We're still trying to potty train Claire and have her poop in the potty! She says she does it, but can't seem to have it happen and will hold it for days (which is very frustrating). In an effort to get the ball rolling, I said, "Claire! Let's both push. 1...2...3...push!" At that point I did a fake push and she quickly exclaimed, "MOMMY! Don't poop in your pannies!" 7/12/13
Jared was crying and wandering around the house this morning. He popped his head in the bathroom where Claire and I were, and started to cry. Claire said, "Oh Jared, stop whining". 7/3/13
Brian and I were talking about the frustrating expenses of moving. At one point I said (about our debt), "It's all my fault." Claire came to the rescue and said, "NO! It's MY fault! My fault....and Jared's!"
This morning Claire woke up at 5 am screaming, "I WANT A COOKIE!!!!!" I went in, she repeated her sentiments. I promised her a cookie and she went back to sleep. When she got out of bed at 10:30, she jumped into my arms and said, "Where's my cookie?"
