PREGNANT BRAIN is worse than I thought it would be. I cannot remember anything! It is so weird. I say and do things that are completely crazy too. I even have told some of my students over and over that it was MONDAY, and all these little kids are so silly. Really, it was Wednesday. At the end of the day, I realized that it was Wednesday, and I was the silly one. UGH. Plus, somehow, I lost my favorite cup AND I am now lost without it! I used it all day everyday, and somehow it just disappeared. I searched everywhere I could think of, and nada. I looked at my mom's house, school, my house, all the cars, and cannot find it anywhere! It's so frustrating! I guess I'll have to buy a new one....
This week, we started pulling out the boxes of Christmas things and I started Christmas shopping. I know Thanksgiving hasn't happened yet, but we are going to be gone for Thanksgiving and I am hosting a ladies Christmas tea at my house the first week of December. SO, it's important to get things put together here, when I have energy. My mom and Kyle also rearranged my house, in preparation for the Christmas tea, Christmas tree, and Hollis. Time is flying by! Can you believe it's already mid November?! I can't! I feel like time flies by every time I blink my eyes. Kyle's birthday is in 1 week, and we leave for Missouri in 1 week for Thanksgiving.
Sunday, I made monster cookies. They were always my favorite kind of cookie in high school, those ladies in the cafeteria really knew how to make them! Mine turned out pretty good too! Next time I'm going to try to make them thicker, I think they'll be closer to my high school's that way.
Sorry for the disorganization and ramblings of my blog...but it's just how I think. I'm lucky that I even think at all right now. :)
Cheers!

Welcome November + 3rd Trimester.
Well, things are getting busier. We are always, busy, but things are going to start picking up from here until, well forever, I guess. PLUS 3rd TRIMESTER, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
Well I had another doctor appointment, and things are all looking great! It is the first time in months, that I don't have to go back 2 weeks or less later! I get to wait 3 WHOLE WEEKS! HOORAY! We got to see Hollis again, we've been seeing him regularly for a while now, making sure everything in there is ok. It's been a lot of well, it's nothing serious, but we are going to have you come back in X amount of days to check up on it (to make sure it stays nothings serious I guess). Fortunately, things are always gone the next time! We are so blessed. I cannot wait to meet my little guy. He's moving like crazy! His little kicks are not so little anymore, and at times can be ohsopainful!
After my appointment, I left for a little trip to Ohio to visit some family. Mom, Sophie, and I drove to Indianapolis and stayed with my Aunt over night. On Friday 2 of my aunts and the 3 of us hopped in the car and headed for Orrville, Ohio. Visiting my Aunt Mindy in Amish country was a lot of fun! It was a whirlwind weekend for sure! We did a lot of shopping and eating (2 of my favorite things!) I was also able to spend a lot of time with my cousins I don't get to see often. Two of them just had babies not so long ago (3 weeks and 4 months to be exact). It was a lot of fun to see everyone!
Kyle was at drill over the weekend. I'm not exactly sure what he did...but that's where he was.
Monday was spent recovering from a long, busy weekend. I spent the day relaxing and trying to get my energy back. I did some laundry and tried to put things away from my trip, but a lot was not happening. I worked the morning on Tuesday. After, I went to vote and got my sticker! It was very cold and rainy. Kyle came home sick from school. He did get a flu shot over the weekend, so I'm hoping he won't come down with the flu. He thinks it's just a cold, so fingers crossed :)
Things I'm looking forward to in November:
So much to look forward to! I'll try to keep blogging through it all!
Cheers!

For the Love of Fall
I have been enjoying the lovely, fall weather lately, but the past couple of days have been very warm! I really love the fall and the temperature cooling down--let's just say that being pregnant in the hottest summer we've had in a long time, was by far the HOTTEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE! I am very thankful that today we're back to fall weather! There is a time and place for summer weather, and it's not in Illinois at the end of October.
Anyways, I worked M-W this week, and yesterday I had a fun day. Sonia, Deb, and I went to lunch and shopped. We ended up at my mom's house after for dinner and chatting. It was a great day!
On today's agenda....my parents are coming over, and my dad's going to make a list of all the things we need for the NURSERY! I am very excited to get things into motion! Baby Boy Nelson is on his way (98 days!)!!!! Name to be announced soon!
Cheers!

I'm back...
I'm back, but I don't know for how long. I love blogging, but I just end up getting so busy I stop.
Well here goes nothing....
Since my last blog, SO much has happened! So this is just a little something to bring you up to speed on what's going on with the Nelsons....
We moved to back to Illinois. It's almost been a year since we moved! I know, long time since the last post. We stayed with my mom and dad while we worked on fixing up our house. My dad did most of the work, but we were all working hard on it. Just a few of our projects were restoring the wood floors, remodeling a bathroom, and painting everything. It took about a month, and we were finally able to move in.
Kyle started school again in January, and I went back to substitute teaching at Delavan. We stayed busy taking care of our house, going to work, and adjusting to our new life in Illinois. Kyle still goes back to Raymore for drill once a month, and he is able to see his parents monthly.
We stayed busy in the spring going to graduations and seeing family. We also found out at the end of May that we were expecting! (Due February 1st!!!) We could not have been happier, but I could not have been sicker. It was tough, to say the least. In July we moved into a new house, yes only a few months after moving into our other house. We plan on staying in this house longer! Hooray for not moving anytime soon! I hate moving!
Kyle went to army training over the summer for 2 weeks. We also went to Springfield, Missouri for a karate tournament and Kyle, Cole, and Kevin all did great! It was tough to travel being sick, but I had meds from my doc that helped some. Other than that, we did not do a lot of traveling this summer. Being sick made it hard to do much of anything. Finally, around 20 weeks I felt better! I am so thankful! We also found out we are having a sweet baby boy! Kyle, my mom, and I went to the doctor and he was hiding for a while, but eventually the tech was able to see that IT'S A BOY!
This fall, Kyle went back to school and is still working, and I have been subbing more. Baby boy has been moving like crazy for weeks now! It is so weird, but he is getting stronger and it hurts sometimes!
The doctor says I need more rest, so I am doing my best to do so. Hopefully getting back into the blog world will help me to relax/ rest more until February. Mom and I went shopping yesterday and we found the cutest little boy clothes! I was so excited because I haven't been able to find a lot of cute things for him. Hopefully, I'll be better about blogging through the rest of my pregnancy!
Cheers!
