Confession Friday!

I haven't done this in a while, but I have a few confessions to make.

1. I had my one hour glucose test. Of which I was positive I was going to pass because I pretty much limited my sugar intake to 0mg the day before (okay except for some delicious nutty chocolaty trail mix), drank tons of water, and only ate protein. So after the test, I went to the mall and immediately bought myself a huge pecan cinnabon. Along with a sweetened Teavana Tea (my new pregnancy craving). Continued to come home and eat some of my left over birthday cookie cake and washed it down with a soda. This morning I got a call from the doctor. FAILED the test. Which they said the levels weren't alarmingly high, but they wanted to be sure. Good thing I splurged yesterday because for the next week no sweets for me. Which is no fun considering I am going on vacation.

said cookie cake. I did throw half of it out after my ridiculous splurge yesterday so I wouldn't be tempted.

2. The more I tell myself I am not going to buy anything else for Bryce, the more I find to get him. Yesterday I went into this adorable boutique called Rolly's to return the changing pad cover that wasn't working in the nursery. Well, I could only exchange it. I found the CUTEST shoes- and there was only a $13 difference. Yeah. Good thing I am not having a girl.

Here they are! you can buy at PediPeds

3. I sometimes imagine the time when I am not pregnant and picture myself in better shape than before I got pregnant and tell myself that it is GOING to happen no matter what.

4. My arms are already much bigger than I ever attended them to get while I was pregnant. To make myself feel better see number 3. I would post a picture, but I delete any that make my arms look fat. Exception is the one above on my birthday (its my only 28th bday picture).

5. As much as I was going to try and not make this blog about just my pregnancy- it has turned into just that. However, I have redone our downstairs bathroom and will post pics as soon as I find my new shower curtain hangers.

6. Sadie will always be my first child. I never tell people to their face, but I don't believe them that you don't know love until you have a baby. I love her too much:-) I know people say that I will love my own child so much more and dog will be second (hubs 3rd;-)) but she is my adopted child and my Sadie Baby.   I have worried more about how to help her accept the new baby not as a threat. Any tips?

my little baby girl:-)

7.  There is a position I can lay in that will make Bryce go crazy (I think because he is upside down) and he will just kick and kick nonstop until I roll over- I purposely lay in that position sometimes just to mess with him. He messes with me all the time though, so I don't feel too bad:-)

That is all for now! What are you confessions? Link up over at Blonde Ambition!

Link Up: Confessions, Christmas Edition

1. I have bought and wrapped presents for everyone on my Christmas list. No joke. Done. That's not my confession. My confession is this. While these presents are sitting under the Christmas tree so beautifully wrapped, my Christmas tree is undecorated. I have had it up since Thanksgiving, and quite honestly I am not in the mood to decorate it. I heard a funny explanation of Christmas trees on the radio the other day and it hasn't helped motivate me. Here it is.

my christmas tree 2012

Christmas trees- who thought of that? I'll tell you who. A drunk guy did. He was outside, thought it would be funny to chop a pine down and put it in his house. When he woke up to his wife scratching her head he quickly came up with an explanation,"Oh honey, we're going to decorate this tree all beautiful like- with lights and little colored balls, it will be beautiful...we'll also take decorations from inside, like lights, and put them outside. Its a great idea."

So I got to thinking, who really did think of the idea of bring a big old tree into a house and decorating it? I betting on this story.


2. I was pretty skeptical about Santa Clause at about age 4, but held on to the belief until about 5th grade, and would have for much longer, had mom not told me when I asked her in 5th grade. I can't wait to be Santa for my own kids!!

3. I LOVE LOVE LOVE giving gifts. But I am terrible at surprises. When I think of something really good to give someone I want to tell them the moment I buy it. I told my brothers what I got them almost every year, even when they didn't want to know. Usually the day I bought the present. I have gotten better.  Homemade gifts/art, I will never tell. They are too special.

4. I LOVE getting presents about as much as I love giving them. I especially like being surprised. Here are some "surprises" I am hoping to find under the tree:

kindle fire

short uggs

navy and white shower curtain

iphone- but I know this won't be happening due to my current contract.

5. As impatient as I am, I have only peeked at one Christmas present my entire life. I actually unwrapped the present at one end pulled it out, then put it back together. I am not sure why I haven't ever peeked again, maybe it was guilt.

6. I may or may not have purposely spent less (time, thought, & money) on someone this year because of what I got from them last year. Usually, this does not bother me,  I almost never compare what I bought to what I receive. But for some reason this one person really got to me last year and I am holding a grudge. You can say the were on my naughty list.

7. I bought my fur baby a really super  cute fru-fru collar for Christmas even though I am totally against dressing up my dog in fru-fru type things. My heart melts every time I see her in it.

8. I have begged my parents to do  their Christmas a day early so I can be there when everyone opens their presents (it's the in-laws turn this year). They have agreed.

9. I still wake up at 5am ready to open presents. I am *cough* 27 years old.

10. My outdoor christmas light electrical hookup looks like something Clark Griswold did in Christmas Vacation.

yup, that was me.

and now my the lights connected to this are seriously NOT working as of last night.

How about your confessions???

Link Up: Confessional.

A Blonde Ambition Blog is starting a new link up party- and I am all in. Born and raised Catholic I am used to sharing all of the bad things I have done. These are MY confessions.

1. I may or may not have thrown an eraser and accidentally bopped a student on his head when he was working on a project (a student who constantly throws erasers, clay, paper footballs at others). He loved it.

2. News paper coupons from black friday may still be all over my living room floor. And I didn't even black friday shop. But I couldn't resist looking at all of the good deals I had missed, and then immediately got disappointed and didn't have the energy (and still don't) to put it in recycling. They aren't even in a neat stack. How about you- any good deals???


3. A student came to school with full on makeup- except mascara. Honey don't do that.

my  favorite ever: Everything Mascara by Bobbi Brown

4.  Little Caesar Pizza and Cheesy Bread may be all we eat in January considering a purchased $35 worth for a fundraiser at my school.

5. I never think I need anything for Christmas, until I start shopping for family and friends, then I need EVERYTHING I come across. For example, I want to get my hubby golf clubs, and I saw hot pink ones and immediately thought to my self- I could like golfing...

On that note, if I do end up buying something (affordable)  for somebody, at least once a year I end up buying two and keeping one for myself.

6. T & I religiously watch 8 tv shows a week. And want/need to add 3-5 more to that list. (He actually watches one more than me, but its too late for my early bedtime). Here is my list: Monday- Two and a Half Men, House Tuesday- Glee, New Girl, Raising Hope, Wednesday/Thursday- X factor, Thursday- Grey's and Private Practice. What I want to add is Modern Family and Whitney. T also watched Sons of Anarchy. Here's the thing. We are serious TV watchers. We start all series from the beginning and watch them until they are canceled the end.

7. I gave up caffeine a few months ago, and this week I have had a relapse. I have had a sweet tea or diet coke or both everyday. And I plan on having one or the other tomorrow as well. Sweet Tea of choice? Hardee's.

8. I obsessively stalk blogs and facebook friends who are expecting. 6 months ago, I could have cared less. I just love pregnant women. What an amazing miracle! And I hate the haters that complain about pregnant women because thats all they talk about. They have another human growing inside of them for Christ's sake, they have earned the right to brag! I am going to be that obnoxious pregnant woman that post pictures every week of my belly. and a picture of the fruit that they are the size of. If you don't likey, then don't looky.

Here's my BFF from high school- so freakin' cute!

9. My suit case is still packed from Thanksgiving weekend. I literally have to jump over it to get into bed at night. I keep hoping I will wake up and it will have magically unpacked, washed and put away all items in itself.

10. I talked to my whole 4th block class through a paper towel tube. It was the first time they were quite while I talked. AND I didn't have to talk as loud because the roll amplified my voice! Double score:-) I think I am still a little kid at heart, and this is why my students love me and why I love my job.

11. I am co-hosting an ugly Christmas Sweater partay next week, and I don't actually own one. Time for a goodwill ugly treasure hunt! I hope I find something like below...

This is so fun! Join me in confessing your thoughts/doings on your blog!
