ABCs

I stole this from my sister's friends blog. I'm pretty sure she didn't actually tag me since I stalk her blog, but I'm doing it because I got nothing to blog about. I'm pregnant and Tessa is cute. Bored? I know. So here we go:

ABC tag
A- Attached or single: Attached on the weekends-but don't even get me started when Alex is traveling...look out!

B- Best Friend: I'm supposed to say Alex, right? Well-Cessy and Cailey and my mom and that girl that I talk to at work...JK. It's my television.

C- Cake or Pie: Cake. Pie freaks me out ever since they released American Pie that fateful summer in 1999.

D- Day: Wednesday

E- Essential Item: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

F- Favorite Color: Ash Gray. Or I think I like Red sometimes too-but then I realize that Red is Whore-ish. So pink.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms: Bears.

H- Home town: Sandy, UT

I- Indulgences: Alex. Ha.

J- January or July: July-it's baby season for this girl.

K- Kids: Tessa Diana, who is 3. And Fetus-who is 5 and a half months in my belly. He'll be named Sullivan. Or Delilah, if Tessa can't get over the fact that it's a boy.

L- Life is incomplete without: Diet Coke. Or my family, blah blah blah.

M- Marriage Date: April 7, 2005

N- Number of Siblings: 2 brothers and 2 sisters, so 4. That's math.

O- Oranges or Apples: Apples. The very scent of orange makes me nauseous. That's why we buy lemon scented Pine Sol.

P- Phobias or Fears: Scorpions. Or that ghost that Tessa keeps telling me lives in our house.

Q- Quote: "I'd rather see the world from another angle"-Jewel. Ha-I'm on a roll.

R- Reason to smile: my humor. Who's smiling right now? You're welcome.

S- Season: Fall. Boot weather.

T- Tag Three: Whitney will do this. And then I don't care who else. (Whit, don't make me look bad here.)

U- Unknown Fact About Me: I used to be a fat kid. Just kidding-not about being a fat kid, about that being unknown. I'm pretty sure Cessy stole my 5th grade school picture and distributed it to everyone we've ever come in contact with. Ask Mike Camp...he's got one. But it totally worked out to my benefit, I totally had a boyfriend in 6th grade. So eat that.

V- Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animal: I love meat. And I HATE Vegetarians. Sorry...

W- Worst Habit: Caring too much, working too hard. Wanting to complete tasks when they are given to me. Those are also my best habits... but seriously, I bite my nails. That's bad.

X- X-rays or Ultrasounds: Ultrasounds, for obvious reasons.

Y- Your favorite food: Diet Coke, Reese's, Oreo Cookies. We found this coupon the other day that if you bought a Diet Coke and Reese's it was only a dollar. My lil sister said that it was a coupon made just for me. And she was right.

Z- Zodiac Sign: Taurus

And here's a little something, since I haven't posted it in a while:

Fun. and Fin.

It's official

We're having a baby BOY! We had our ultrasound this morning, and it was for sure, no doubt about it, a boy. We are excited and Tessa seems like she's cool with it too! I was going to post all the pictures from the ultrasound, but there are 60, so here's the two that I decided on...

This is his little face. I know, he's adorable, right? Crazy...we make good kids.That's his little thing. You don't really need the arrow to show you, because it's such a dominant feature in the picture. Alex was proud of that...

So I believe we are still set on July 10th as the due date, but the ultrasound technician said she measured it as July 7th. So we'll see...

The Flu

So this week our family was lucky enough to all be hit by a flu bug. It was gross. But also funny, because Tessa made it funny. She got sick first, so she was better first, so yesterday when Alex and I didn't feel good, she was sort of taking care of us. She would go to the fridge and get drinks for us, and then she would entertain us. So a few weeks ago we bought her some Valentines to give to her friends and she decided yesterday to color on them and everything so they would be ready to go when Valentine's Day comes around. She discovered that in her Phineas and Ferb Valentines cards they supplied you with like a bazillion heart stickers, which she decided to use for something else entirely.

Alex really didn't feel good, so he just lied around while this was happening to him. She put them everywhere-and he didn't realize that it had fused his eyes half shut....

So great. The flu really brings the family together.

Baby Drag

This is what happens when my lil sister lets me loose on her baby boy....

JK. Devon was all for this. He asked what Dexter would look like if we dressed him as a girl, so I tested it out.

On another note, this is just a funny picture of Tessa. She had on every bracelet at my mom's house. She said she was "helping". But since when does helping mean accessorizing? Right?

And that's ketchup on her face. I just let her keep it there for most of the day so she gets to taste it every once in a while.

Dentist!

If you think I'm referencing the beloved song from Little Shop of Horrors, you're right. And, we went to the dentist. And this time they actually cleaned Tessa's teeth and everything. It was sad and great. She was super excited, then really nervous, then excited again, because Alex promised to buy her a toy. He's always promising shiz...

Before

During

The after is just like the before, but with cleaner teeth...I didn't take a picture of it, because it's a waste of camera memory. I've got a bazillion pictures of this kid.

Til next time.

Because I promised...

I promised I would post this picture, and I always keep my promises. My goal in life is to ruin other people's lives, and right now I'm working on this girl...

Embarrassing, much? She totally walked around work like this-and she let me take a picture. It's like she was asking for it.

Don't mess with the best, Chels.

(No, this is not a note to me. Her name is also Chelsea.)

It's the Word.

So last night, the fam (me and Alex and child) watched VH1's Movies that Rock. And the movie, you ask? My apologies to Cessy, but it was Grease. And yes, we watched the whole thing. But it was like we have turned Tessa onto a whole new world...this was how she looked the entire time.

She sat straight up and stared at the screen. Notice this is the end of the movie, so the whole time she was staring at the television. It was great.
