oh so dreamy!!

So- I've heard of weird pregnancy dreams before and how they can be quite strange, but wow! I did not expect that things would be like this!!
Last night, I had not one, but TWO strange dreams just last night! The first was one that Nick and I got engaged. See, I have the upmost faith in Nick to ask me in a fun and unique way that is sure to sweep me off my feet. I really don't think he'd EVER let me down in that department, or in the ring department, for that matter... afterall, it'll be on my finger as long as I live. Also, it should be noted that 95% of my day is spent thinking about Nick and Alexis... and how my life will be once she is here. :)

So, here it goes!! The first dream was about Nick proposing to me! I was at home just sitting there and Nick walks up to me, pulls out a ring and asks me to marry him. He doesn't get down on one knee. He doesn't do ANYTHING to make it memorable or special... and he does it just like it's no big deal- pulls out the ring box, asks me, then opens it.... and it's empty, then he reaches in his pocket and pulls out about 5 rings that are all on a keychain type of loop. He said I have to pick one that fits, so I do... When I put it on, he said, it's not the real ring because he wanted to make sure to get me one that fit my sausage fingers. *OH GOSH!! So my pregnant symptoms have now taken over my dreams!!* He just took all the romance and special out of it-- I was floored, but not necessarily in a good way, I guess! My dream ended when I told him that he'd have to ask again with the real ring. Poor guy!

Onto the next dream!!! I gave birth to Alexis and she was HUGE-- i mean, she looked like a 3 month old... I was so sad that I never got the experience of her being tiny. We get her home and then I keep forgetting about her!! I didn't want to feed her because every time I did, she aged like a month. I was making breakfast in the morning when I realized I had forgotten about her again, so I went in the nursery to find her perfectly happy in her bed. I was trying to find a specific outfit for her to wear that day, adn while searching, I guess I wasn't paying attention, AGAIN- and I managed to pile all her clothes on top of her. *What on EARTH is up with these dreams!?* At the end of that dream, I ended up having Nicholas come in and care for her because I kept forgetting all about her.

The last one worried me so much when I woke up. I know that I'll be a good mommy and I'll never forget about her, but that dream was just un REAL!!! I love Nicholas and even though Alexis isn't born yet, I love her so much, too!! I wake up every morning so excited to feel her move around! I am at full-term now, so it's just a waiting game until she gets here now! I am so excited to meet my lil princess! I never EVER thought I'd be where I am today... a year ago. There is nowhere I'd rather be though. I always make the best out of every situation and this baby, although she came at a time we thought was bad... is turning out to be perfect! There is no one I'd rather have a family with than Nick!!

On a side note, yesterday was Fathers Day! I got Nick a soon-to-be-a-daddy card and then we walked around Ikea and Home Depot, before heading over to his Uncle Danny's house and Ferrell's with my dad!! :) Such a wonderful day! I love Nick so much. He is going to be the best daddy around!! :)

Full Term!

The day I've been waiting for since I found out I was pregnant!! I am officially full term tomorrow!!!!!! That means, NO MORE BED REST and Lexi is developed enough to enter this world safely and be healthy!!! :) This is the most exciting news ever!!

So, yesterday-- and this whole week-- I've been getting things ready to start my other blog, for everything weddings and engagements! :0 I am so excited to get it up and going!!

Yesterday, I spend time sorting through proposal stories. There are so many amazing stories out there. I can't wait to have my own story to share. I feel bad for Nick. I have been so obsessed with weddings and proposal stories for YEARS, so he definitely feels the pressure for when he decides to pop the question. He really doesn't need to worry though. Proposals aren't about how much he spends-- it's about making it personal and meaningful. I love Nick, so however he decides to ask, my answer will always be the same!

Last night, before we went to bed, I was telling him about this video that was a fail... Guys-- don't EVER tie the real ring to a balloon!! That's just a disaster waiting to happen! Also, make it personal. If I was his girl, I would have been like... really?! This is one of the most memorable days of your life and you put no thought into it?! Like I said, it doesn't have to be a huge production where you spend lots of money to make it amazing, but it should come from the heart and be thoughtful memorable. This poor man in the "fail" video really needed the help of a professional planner to help carry out the perfect proposal.

On to other things, last night was AMAZING!! My beloved Lakers FINALLY beat Boston in the NBA finals! It wasn't the greatest game-- but a win is a win!! I couldn't be more proud of my boys!!! I love the Lakers! They are champions. I wish I could have been at the game to see them take the Celtics down in person!!! Although, I really wish that fans had the same sportsmanship that the players have! Riots are just retarded!!! Why would you damage someone's property in a CELEBRATION?! Celebrations are supposed to be happy times... not destructive!! What's wrong with you, people!? Is going to jail really worth it?? Also-- catching a taxi on fire, real classy. Not only did you damage someone's property beyond repair, you took someone's JOB from them!! That is someone's way to earn an income. They made nothing last night, thanks to you crazy "fans".

okay, that's all the rants I have from last night!! GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!

and now, the final weeks are HERE!!! Lexi, please come! I'm done feeling you kick and move around in my tummy. I can't wait for you to meet the world and let me hold you in my arms and show you off to the world! :) SOOOO excited to be in the FINAL weeks!!!

4 1/2 weeks!!!

So, FINALLY- I have an official induction date!! If Lexi doesn't choose to come early by herself, she'll be here on July 14th!! I really wanted her to be here earlier, but this way is better seeing that she'll be healthier and more ready to meet the world this way. I can't wait to meet my little girl!! This has been the longest wait EVER and I can't wait for it to be over.

This last week has been full of new things... not fun things- but new, nonetheless. Swollen fingers and feet. AGH!!! Oh and hello new stretch marks on my tummy. Those 3 new purple-ish lines stretching down my belly are not my idea of cute. I hope they are discrete when I get back to pre-baby shape! I guess all of this suffering will be fun when I get to meet my baby girl for the first time.

Well, since this is all words, I'm going to keep it short. I will post more in a bit. I've been so blessed lately with the people in my life and a healthy pregnancy. Now, I just need to focus on these LAST TWO WEEKS of bed rest, then I'll try to run, walk, massage, eat... everything to help baby come along before pitocin is necessary on the 14th.

Come on, Alexis!!! :)
