bits and pieces of our life

I had a doctor appointment today!
I'm 36 weeks today according to my due date.
They said if I go into Labor now that they wouldn't stop it, so I guess its whenever during the next month that I'm goona be a mom. My due date is January 28th.
I'm feeling better than I have in a long time.
I even walked around in Wal-Mart with my mom yesterday.
Tonite is New Years Eve and I don't even know if Micah and I are doing anything.
I'm hoping someone will come over.
Maybe play board games or something.
Micah's working now-and I'm at my mom's waiting to be able to bring my Recycling to Cub Foods.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
Micah and I's was crazy busy but good.
Christmas eve we went to my grandma and grandpa Ketola's in Cloquet.
Which was a lot of fun. Then we exchanged our gifts from eachother when we got home (like 11:30pm lol).
Micah gave me this cool Britta Water Filter thingy that'll filter 2 gallons of water and ya put it in the fridge.
I'm excited. I can drink our water now! They work!
Then at 8:30am we were at Micah's moms. That was fun watching Micah's nephew open gifts there. He's 2 this year and he's gotta get every bit of wrapping paper off his gifts. So fun!
Then at noon we headed to Micah's uncles house on Sugar Lake.
More food! His Uncle cooked Prime Rib!YUM~that man is a good cook!
Then at like 7pm we headed to my aunt Gloria's house-so I could see the Allen's on Christmas. We didn't get home untill late again. And Friday I was wiped out!
Crazy!
Micah and I started washing baby clothes-I know we should've done that a long time ago but didn't.
And we need to find a dresser-that'll fit in the baby room so we have someplace to put clothes.
You should see our living room!
Saturday my friend Tarah and her mom came out to my house to see me.
That was nice.
Today I had a chiropractor appointment-which always makes me feel better!
Then I came to my mom and dad's and my dad fried us up sunfish for lunch!
Yum!
I kinda miss my mom-I haven't seen her as much latley.
But I'm coming back to hang out with her tommarow because that's her day off!

Our Christmas tree is up!
Yippie!
I'm so excited about it!

Sunday, December 21, 2008

This morning I went with my parents to Church-to a Christmas Worship Service with Bob Kilpatrick. Was nice to go. My mom and I had seen Bob Kilpatrick play when I was a kid, at some Christian Concert (I just realized that I have been to a concert in my life). I kind of miss going to church with my family. Guess I never thought I'd say that either.
I stayed at my parents house last night. Hung out with my mom and dad-Micah did his Christmas shopping and said he was going to clean and get our Christmas tree. And pick up the tree stand from his mom's. And a tree skirt that she said she was going to make for us. We'll see if any of that happened once I get home.
The Christmas tree is really important to me. I havent' had Christmas at my own house since I was a kid. My parents do nothing to celebrate it on Christmas eve or Christmas day. The last time I had a Christmas tree in the house I lived in was when I was in 5th grade. I think we had a manger scene in the house after that for a few years-now they don't do anything. Its a long drug out story that nobody really needs to waste thier time hearing-so I will spare anyone who might possibly read my blog of it. But I've been waiting a long time to have a Christmas again. And I want it to be special. So the whole tree not being up yet does bother me. And I have a huge manger scene that lights up that I want to be put in the yard. I'm really excited about it. If that happens today I will be in tears.
Life has been so crazy latley. I feel like I'm always stressed out! Thats not good. My friendships have changed. Thats hard. My friend Holmbeck and I have started talking more again. Micah and I met up with her in Rapids last week. That was really nice.
Not working anymore has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. I get so bored. And I feel like I don't see people.
When I say I don't see people that is my fault also. But I don't have energy to clean and all of that. And my house is a disaster zone. A constant fight for Micah and I (that is why he is cleaning today-we'll see if he does it), I guess something that happens when you start living with someone. But I don't really want people to come over to my messy house in the middle of nowhere, where my bathtub is orange from my water-and I can't really move around the greatest to intertain. I don't know my neighbors but I guess I haven't showed up on thier doorsteps either. Another thing I don't have energy for. And people who live 5 miles away think thier my neighbors. If I have to go that far to see people I figure I'll just go to my parents house and hang out with them. My mom has become my best friend these days. Another thing I never thought I'd say.
When my phone rings its usually my mom or dad, Micah, Holmbeck, or maybe even Darla. Other than that its Micah and I's guy friends-wanting to talk to him. And wanting to have him go do things with them that I can't do anymore. Like go ice fishing, and other fun stuff. But I guess there'll be time for all that later on.
Pregnancy has been life changing for me, because my whole life has changed since May. I use to always be doing stuff and hanging out with people. Not now, I just don't have the energy, I can't get around so great, and I'm not into going to parties anymore. Sorry-not really a fun thing to do when your pregnant. I now look back to every party I ever went to where some guy brought his pregnant girlfriend, or wife to and I think-what an asshole. You brought her so you'd have a Designated Driver and she's probably beyond annoyed with your drunk ass and everyone else.
Maybe I've just turned into a grouch. Maybe?
Whenever I'm at my parents I've realized I'm a computer freak. With e-mail, MySpace adn now probably with this blogger dashboard thing (even though I don't think anybody reads this or even knows it exists). I really wish we had the internet at Micah and I's house. I feel like it keeps me in touch with people. People that I don't get to talk to as often as I like. Some that I feel like maybe I haven't been a part of thier lives for a long time and who knows if we could hang out again like we use to-but staying in touch through the internet helps.
I'm going to my Grandpa and Grandma Ketola's on Christmas eve. I'm kind of excited about that. My brother Cale and his girlfriend Ashley are going to. I'm not sure if we'll ride together though. Cale and I don't really talk like we use to. Him and Ashley are in thier own little world, and it seems like everytime I try to talk to them they just leave. My dad said I annoy Cale because I talk to much. That hurts, but whatever.
So there's my blog of the day. I sound really whiny and bitchy latley. I don't know what to do about that. Guess I'll have to do something. I hope I'm not like this when the baby is born. I'm kinda stressed about that too though. Worried that Micah will be working outta town and he won't make it to the hospital or something dumb.
Oh-I forgot to mention my psyco dreams. I've been having crazy dreams lately. The one I had this am was like I was in a big room and some crazy lady with a machine gun was shooting people. Like we were all hostages or something. Where does my brain come up with this crap-I'll never know!

Christmas is getting closer...
we still don't have a tree up yet, but its not the end of the world.
Micah got called to go work in Iowa to do Storm Work. He's on his way back now, So i'm hanging out at my parents house, waiting. I have to pick him up in Rapids and I figured it'd be easier to wait here than to wait at my house (it takes at least a half hour to get to Rapids).
I'm kind of wishing we wouldn't have moved to Balsam although our house is cute-small but cute. Its just a long ways from anything. It takes 45min to get to the Deer River Hospital (where I'm having the baby).
I'm getting more and more excited for baby Roo-Roo to be born. Thats what Micah nicknamed our baby since we didn't find out if its a boy or girl. We just call him or her Roo-Roo.
I got a lot of Christmas Cards in the mail today.
That was nice-I love getting cards and putting all the pictures up on my fridge!
Not much else new here. I slipped when getting out of the truck a week ago. Did something to my shoulder and ribs (well the chiropractor said its my back-but I feel it in my ribs). Just on the right side.
But I go back on Monday so I'm sure it'll be fine.
Lets see- what else
One thing I wish someone would've told me about pregnancy-that once your about 7 months along and on you get less and less sleep!
What is with that. I can't get comfortable and I always have to pee! It is kind of comical though when Micah gets all pissed off because he can't sleep because I'm moving around so much. One time he went and slept on the couch.
I guess we're suppose to get more snow this coming weekend.
Seems like we've gotton a lot so far this year.

Long time no Blog!


Okay- I haven't blogged in a long time!
I wanted to follow my friend Katie's blog because I hadn't for a long time, and I realized I had started this blogging thing a long time ago, so I might as well start again.
Life has been crazy!

Engaged
Moving in with Micah-getting our own house
Pregnancy
Bedrest-then sitting rest
Trying to get my house put together when I can't do much
Trying to get the baby's room ready
and planning Micah and I's wedding (I had to change the date-its July 18,2009)

Being pregnant has made my life change a lot. Seems like I don't hang out with some of the same people. I don't party, and honestly I get annoyed with it. Sitting rest has made things crazy. I can't even walk through the grocery store to buy groceries (I can't stand that long). And I've ended up hanging out with my mom a lot! Poor lady- she has to help me with a lot. I moved out from my parents house and I'm there more than I am at home now! I can't stand looking at my house that isn't even unpacked-so I go there before I go insane!lol!
Some days I think being pregnant has made me crazy
And having to rely on people to help me drives me nuts-I hate asking
And I get so mad at Micah over things like him throwing crap in piles-not rinsing off dirty dishes, taking off his boots that I could scream!
We've been together 5 1/2 years-but living together has been a challenge now that I can't do as much, and need his help.
Plus moving all the way up in Balsam has been interesting. I'm a people person. I get really lonley if I stay up there while Micah's working.
Life has definatley changed-A LOT!
