Update

Well, I thought I would do better on updating daily in this blog. Um.. not so much. It has been a little hard considering I kind of had a busy week. I feel like I'm in baby scramble. This last weekend was my shower. I must say it was SUPER FUN! I'm really happy so many people were able to come and celebrate with me. I got to see friends whom I have not seen in a while and a former teacher who hasn't seen my sister or me for a REALLY long time. My sister and mom came up with some great games. They were really funnny. The rice one was really hard! I almost won that... darn aunt bev. I think what I loved the most was seeing how creative my family members are! So many homemade gifts. Would I expect anything less from the Steckelberg/Johnson/Kargol family. Nope. I was going to post some pictures, but I realized that I don't have batteries to put in my camera to get some. Bummer.

It was really nice getting out of lincoln. I had a hard time sleeping at my mom's house. It wouldn't be so hard but being almost 38 weeks pregnant it made it kinda tough. Since I'm so pregnant I usually wake up really early. Well in the morning that happend. I was really uncomfortable so I was going to sit up and watch some tv or something.. well my sister had been up and down with the boys all night and fell asleep in the arm chair. I felt bad and didn't want to wake her. She's been having muscle pain/issues in her shoulder for a while and knew she hadn't been sleeping well. I just returned to my room and tried to sleep. No go. So I decided to paint my toe nails (yes I can still reach them.. who knew?) and my nails to get ready for the day. By the time they dried my little nephews were up so I went out to say goodmorning and started the day.

Once we got back and go everything back to lincoln and up to our apartment I crashed on the couch. I was pooped! I still am a little tired, but this morning aaron let me sleep in and made me a HUGE breakfast in bed. YUMMMY. It was fun becuase we watched our favorite detective show before napping a while. Nice chill time with the hubby.

Tomorrow is my first internal exam. I'm not excited about the whole "internal" thing, but I would like to know if I've made ANY progress. My guess is not, but who knows? We are also setting up the crib and getting organized for jaden. I'm gonig to pack my hospital bag and get that all ready. I just hope I'm not too tired to get what I want to done.

Well thats all for tonight. Hope this finds you all well.

Love.

Day Six

Hello all!

Today was a very fun, exausting day! Last night I went to bed a little late. Yeah being pregnant I was out and sawing logs! haha. I took my time getting up this morning and hung out with aaron for a while. I went out to lunch at Red Lobster. Ok, nothing against that place... but I'm not really a fishy person. I had chicken strips. ANYWAY. I went to lunch with my friends Janelle and her sister lindsay, and Mike and Alyssa. I have not seen mike or alyssa in forever because they moved back to wyoming. :( But they were back for alyssa's shower we threw her. Lunch was pretty good except Alyssa got sick and threw up (not from red lobster, but from breakfast) So she didn't really eat with us. We then parted ways and I went to hang out with my friend Charlotte until we went over to get ready for the shower.

The shower went great! It was a nice little party. Not super formal or anything ya know. Just right! We all had a good time. Oh an about the pictures... well I took my camera but I never seemed to get it out all night. Oh well, other people were taking a lot of pictuers so I'm sure I'll just use thiers! haha.

I got home from everything probably around 8ish. I must say I'm TIRED! I'm looking forward to a little relaxation time right now. oh yeah, and my bed. I think thats about all for today. Goodnight.

Love.

Day(s) Three, Four, and Five

Sorry I haven't been posting.. these last few days got the better of me and well, I didn't post. Ooops.

Let's see where to begin. Wed:
Wed. was aaron's only day off this week since he picked up an extra shift tuesday night. He was one tuckered out man. We took our time getting ready for the day. I let him wind down from work a bit while playing Call of Duty with his Wal-mart buddies. Okay.. truth be known. I was still tired and wanted to sleep in, so this gave him a chance to play. (But he plays every morning) After we both got ready we decided that we needed new movies and I wanted a different book to read. We went down to Gere Library. Ever since I took aaron there for the first time, it has been a fun thing for him. He descovered a whole few shelves of documentary's from the history channel and our new favorite series of Poirot. He is apparently this stuck up detective living in England. He is a character out of a mystery novel.. um.. Agatha Christy I believe. Now, I LOVE me a good mystery so these little movies are super fun to watch. After Aaron picked out like 5 movies to watch, I decided to try out a new author I heard about. Her name is Jackie Collins. She writes mostly about Hollywood ppl and creates their drama's. She came out with a new one called "Poor Little Bitch Girl" The title just sounded interesting. The library was out of that one so I started with I think it's called 'Married Lovers.' I would have finished it in an evening, but I got sleepy. Either way I need to go get another one to read! I really love her style of writing. Over all Wed, was a nice day with the husband!

Thursday:
Truth be told I really don't remember much about thursday. I finished my book earlier in the morning. Then watched some "Poirot" with aaron. We made a casual lunch and just chilled till he took a nap before work. Not a particularly busy day. I will say, since being off work, I've been starting to feel a little better. This is a huge relief because I don't like being stuck laying around all day. I need fresh air and movement. I stand for a living for heavens sake. All I have to say is when I return to work it's gonna be tough!

Friday: (Today)
I've had a habit of waking up really early like 4:11/12 EVERY NIGHT. Why would this night be any different? Well I woke up and did my thing. I decided I felt hungry and kinda gross, so I took a shower and grabbed a bowl of dry cereal to munch on till aaron got home. Chocolate Cherio's are the BOMB! Well when aaron came home I tried staying up with him but I was too tired to sit up. You know when you are over tired and you start getting a headache? Yeah had that going. I went back to snooze while aaron and call of duty had some quality time. He made popcorn and we watch "Poirot" again. Gosh I do love that show! The one we are on now has three mini shows in it. Totally fun. Aaron was tired after that so he went to sleep and it was time for me to start my day. I have felt pretty good all day so I took advantage and did some laundry, and dishes (before they got piled up). Thankfully My awesome husband did them this last time for me! He's soo sweet. He REALLY HATES dishes. I made our dinner reservations for monday nights dinner when we go to the Bed and Breakfast. YAY! I'm super excited about it. I will try and get some pictures up on wed. after we get back.

[SIDE NOTE]:
I'm super proud of Aaron today. His manager Rose, finally made a tracking book on people. This is FINALLY a way for the managers to acurately give bonus's and good things to the right people instead of trying to remember what happend what day. She thanked aaron for pushing her to do it. She also said he's been doing a great job and she is going to put in there all his hard work and how much he does in the time it takes most people to finish one isle. I'm really happy about that. AND she said that she would give him sundays and mondays off now!!!! WHOOOOOOP!! Happy wife right here! This starts um.. March 6 I believe. I'm super excited and proud of him. I think that really made him happy as well. It will be nice to have him for two days off instead of one. :)

Well, I think that is all for now and the update. I have a friends baby shower tomorrow. I'm hoping I'll remember to take my camera, so maybe I'll get some pictures up! We will see. I hope this finds you well.

Love.
