I'm so sick of being preggo.

*WARNING: this is me venting. I'll try to make it brief.*

I have 4 weeks left and I'm at that point where I don't know if I can make it.
I can't sleep at night.
My back aches.
I get sick after I eat anything.
I am exhausted.
I look like a whale.
I can barely fit into clothes, hallways, booths at Pizza Factory (haha, laugh it up girls).
To top it off, I have a horrible cold. The only medicine I have at home is Nyquil which I desperately wish I could take but know I can't. So I'm just sucking it up for now; tomorrow morning I have a dr appt and I'll ask him what I can take.

Everyone says it gets even harder when the baby is here (especially the whole no sleep/exhausted part) but I'm pretty miserable now and with 4 more weeks I'm sure I'm only going to get more miserable before baby comes. Grrrrr.

Oh, and we got our new carpet which is AWESOME but we haven't put our house back together so it's a mess and the nursery isn't even started and I haven't gotten any of my school-sub-stuff put together like I wanted to and DAAAAHHH!!!!!

I want my epidural now, please.

CHS Pizza Factory Reunion REMINDER!

Friday, Dec. 26
Pizza Factory, 1:00 pm

We would love to see you all!!!

Update on our busy lives.

Friday was the last day of school...HOORAY! I made it to Christmas break without having a mental breakdown!

Not that it feels like a "break" yet...

We spent all day yesterday moving furniture, packing things in boxes, hauling stuff up and down 3 flights of stairs, and ripping out our disgusting white carpet. *Since our house is carpetless and in shambles, we spent last night and are spending today and tonight at Jay's parents' house in Spanish Fork.*

TOMORROW MORNING WE GET OUR NEW CARPET!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!
I am totally ecstatic! Plus, Jay and his dad are going to *attemt* to finish our bathroom addition!
What awesome Christmas presents!!!! That's all I want for Christmas is to finish some of these big house projects before baby comes next month.

Speaking of baby... future NFL lineman in the making for reals. He is so rough on me!!! He'll be like 3 years old and benchpressing 50 pounds I'm predicting.
I can't believe I only have 5 weeks left. 5 weeks until we have a baby!! YIKES!!! I continue to describe my feelings as an even mix of excited and terrified.

Natalie & Kiersty threw me a baby shower last week and a bunch of Alpha Phis showed up. It was so fun to see everyone again and I got some super cute stuff! My sisters are so good to me. I always say joining Alpha Phi was one of the best decisions I made in college. I got some cute pics but don't know how to get them small enough to post them on here *Natalie HELP!*

Here's this week in a nutshell:
Tomorrow (Monday): Carpet installation
Tuesday: Put house back together
Wednesday: leave for Spanish Fork for Christmas eve and Christmas day
Friday morning: leave for Cedar City early enough to make it to Pizza Factory by 1:00 to see all my old high school friends.
Saturday: celebrate Christmas w/ my family. Also it's Jay's 30th birthday. I'm wrapping his presents in half christmas, half birthday wrapping paper!
Monday: drive home

BUSY but fun. I'll try to keep yall posted more often.

Lonely

Jay left for Cleveland at 7:00 am. We texted back and forth for like an hour after his plane landed this afternoon which was nice but really only made me miss him more.

Most of the day I've been fine... the times I haven't been busy, I've actually enjoyed just chilling with my doggy and watching Harry Potter movies.

But nighttime is different. I know once I go snuggle down into my warm blankets I'll fall asleep and be fine, but this moment right now of forcing myself to go to bed alone is hard for me. It's funny that we've been married over 4 years and been apart lots of times (we even lived 4 hours apart for 3 months when Jay first got his job up north!) going to bed alone is still the hardest part. I keep telling myself I'm not really alone... I have my doggy to snuggle with and my baby boy bouncing around 24/7... but still...

I'll wake up tomorrow at 6:00 am, go to school, be busy all day long and be totally fine on my own all week long. I'm sure of it. I'm not even worried about myself this week. I have LOTS of plans to stay busy!

I guess I'm just feeling particularly lonely tonight.

Frozen Yogurt Junction

Jay is leaving for Cleveland tomorrow for work. He'll be gone all week long! What am I gonna do?? Actually, I have a few plans, most of them dealing with school stuff and house cleaning.

So today we went out to lunch at Chilis and ate chips & salsa w/ ranch, my favorite thing on the planet. Sounds weird, but don't knock it til you've tried it. AMAZING!
Then we went to a place in AF called Frozen Yogurt Junction that my friend Natalie told me about. They have different flavors of frozen yogurt, a billion different toppings, and you just get whatever size cup you want and assemble your own, then they weigh it and you pay by the ounce.

I got Cheesecake fro-yo w/ graham cracker crust and strawberries (and a couple swedish fish on the top just so I could eat them first!) It was SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!! I got a huge cupful, I'm talking HUGE! Way bigger than Jay's cup! His only cost like $2.50 but mine was almost $4! It was really yummy and I am definitely a huge fan. If you haven't been there and want to go, let me know and I'll go with you!! Heeheee!

Old-School Cedar High Gang

I dunno who will be in Cedar over Christmas, but everyone is invited so spread the word.

Friday, December 26
Pizza Factory
1:00 PM

Whoever shows up, it'll be fun to see anyone and everyone!

I don't feel like blogging, but...

It's been a week so I guess I need to.
I'll just list some random stuff since that's what I'm best at.

Last night we saw Twilight. There were a few things that could've been done better, but overall I loved it. Two thumbs up.

Since we didn't get home from the movie til 2:30am I slept in this morning til almost noon. I woke up to the smell of pizza in the oven. A pregnant woman's dream, let me tell ya.

We gotta get our bathroom done. Argh. Did I tell y'all we're adding on a bathroom on the main floor of our house? It's such a pain. Everything takes forever. I'm starting to freak out because there are so many PROJECTS that need done in the next 9 weeks before baby gets here.

Baby Name: Jay Christopher Dixon. We're about 84% sure of this. I'm calling him Topher.

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving. Mostly because I need a break from school, I'll get to see my family, and of course I'm totally stoked for THE FOOD! Yum.

The End.
