Forced Blog

I won't lie...I have been receiving threats to my life about updating my blog, so I decided rather than loose my life, I would update it! Not too much has been going on. My sister, mom and I recently took a trip to IKEA, which I completely meant to document with pictures, but figured would be a little weird. I will admit I was rather ecstatic about going and the whole store exceeded my expectations...as well as my mom's and my sister's too, I think (hope). I was the one who kind of forced the trip, but I think everyone ended up with some good finds and were happy they went. My sister had ordered a crib from Target, which ended up being damaged during shipping, so she was going to look for a crib while we were there. In the magazine/online they look nice, but you can't really tell if they are actually going to be sturdy or a piece o' crap. So when we finally got to the children's section she checked out the cribs and they ended up being very sturdy. So she got this one...

I definitely planned every detail of my future children's rooms while I was there....I know....psycho. But a girl can dream. Recently I posted a status on Facebook that said something about Derek never giving me children or something to that effect. It must have freaked people out, because I received several comments about it. Don't worry people, I talk to him like that in real life and he doesn't take any offense....and if he did I definitely would a) stop talking to him like that & b) not post it behind his back on Facebook. What kind of wife would I be if I did that? We are in agreement that comments like that are all in good humor, I am aware that sooner than later he will give me a child, but still plot relentlessly on how to get pregnant by mistake. mwah ha ha ha.

Let see...in good news, our friends (and some of your alls friends) Trey & Ashley Fuller, and their daughters Hannah & Noelle, will be gracing us with their presence tomorrow afternoon. They are moving from PA to MS to be with Trey's family. I will not go into detail because it is not my place to do so, but I'm sure the Fuller's would appreciate prayer as they move and for there time in Mississippi (definitely had to say that our loud as I typed it and definitely said "double s, s"...no explanation). We are excited that they will be staying the night with us, it is all a part of my plan to make Derek fall more in love with babies. I know Hannah is like the best baby in the world and we can only hope Noelle with be on her best behavior (just kidding, but I'm sure she will be!).

Noelle...I cannot allow this! But Hannah is a seasoned heart-breaker!


In other good news, my friend Emily is preggers!!! Yay for baby making! She was also plotting and luckily she got her wish....some girls have all the luck. I could not be happier for her and her husband. I am positive they will make great parents and I love having children near by to secretly spoil...Lord knows I won't be spoiling my own.

Emily and her hub, Robbie. Emily practicing!!

In other GREAT news, I should be an aunt in less than a month!!! As many of you know, my sister is also pregnant with a little boy, Levi Aidan. You can find her recently started blog on my "Favorite Blogs" list located to right of this. She has been having Braxton Hick's contractions for a while now, which I don't think has anything to due with actual labor. However, in my predictions she will go into labor early. She is due April 29th, but I think it will happen more like April 15 or 16, but who really cares what I think?!!

This is her rendition of Levi in the belly!
Let's hope he's not actually a monster!

I am still taking my Anatomy and Physiology class. I finished A&P I...it was an 8 week class and I ended up with an 82-B. I was thrilled with that grade because I was positive I would get a C. I have my first test of A&P this Monday and will admit that I am a little scared. This is going to be tough!! If you remember, say a little prayer for me Monday morning...I could use it.

On a more serious note...I'm sure most of you noticed the button at the top of my blog that contains a very sweet picture of a little boy and the words "praying for Stellan". I have been following this perfect strangers blog for a while now, you can find the link to it also under my favorite blogs. It is called "my charming kids" and is written by a lady I have never met, do not actually know the name of, and is a lady who is the mother of that precious little boy. You can read the story of Stellan on her blog (and I encourage you to do so), but Stellan and his family are in need of prayer. Stellan's little heart has been in what's called SVT for nearly a week now. His heart beats 200 times and minute, sometimes more, and they have been working for several days to get him out of SVT. His heart takes a break at times, but shortly re-enters SVT. Needless to say, this is not good for his little heart (nor any heart). If you think about it, although these people are probably not people you know either, they need your prayers. His mom is wearing down from the stress and little Stellan needs to break out of SVT. Lord be with them!!

Well that's all I can really think of to write about for now. It was a lot and will hopefully meet the needs of my stalkers for now (cough, Leah). I will try to do more updating as I exit my hibernation and re-enter life.
